One reason children from disadvantaged backgrounds receive less schooling and join the labor force at younger ages with fewer skills may be that they and their families lack crucial information needed to make the right long run investment decisions regarding their human capital. In Peru, IPA and J-PAL worked with researchers and the Ministry of Education to evaluate at scale two low-cost ways of providing relevant information to help students and their families make more informed decisions.
Women face significant barriers to participation and leadership in politics and government in many countries, including Ghana. Shortly before Ghana's 2016 presidential and parliamentary elections, researchers evaluated whether community meetings focused on encouraging women's participation in local politics could close the gender gap that exists in grassroot politics. The evaluation found no change in women's political participation or in views of gender norms in local politics.
In Mexico, one in four women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence by an intimate partner, and addressing violence against women remains a challenge across the world. This study evaluated the impact of a nurse-delivered screening and counseling program on intimate partner violence in Mexico City.
Around the world, 152 million children are engaged in child labor, and in the Philippines many of the children working illegally are in occupations that pose a threat to their health and safety. Because poverty is considered to be the root cause of child labor, policymakers have aimed to reduce child labor by improving the economic welfare of poor households that are using or vulnerable to using child labor.
Though Zambia has made significant progress in increasing access to education, allocation of resources within the system remains a challenge. This study describes the distribution of teachers across public primary schools in Zambia, examines the underlying administrative challenges and geographic factors linked to the allocation of teachers, and offers policy recommendations in order to create a more equitable teacher distribution, which may also be more efficient.
Programs that allow citizens to contact their government representatives may help to improve the delivery of basic services, such as resources in schools and health clinics, in low-income countries. However, citizen participation in these programs is often low.
Households living in extreme poverty face a wide range of challenges that limit their ability to make productive investments or cope with unpredictable shocks such as droughts or disease. Recent research has shown that holistic livelihoods programs can have a wide range of benefits for these poor families, from increasing household consumption and income to improving food security and mental health.
Despite the rapid global expansion of mobile phone coverage, many isolated, rural communities do not have connectivity. In the Philippines, researchers are evaluating the impact of installing cellular towers and providing free SIM cards for mobile phone use on communication activity and frequency, social ties, access to information, migration and labor market outcomes, bargaining power and market prices, and income and employment decisions.
Urban armed groups, especially criminal gangs, are a growing threat to peace and economic growth in cities across the world, and often exert state-like powers such as enforcing contracts, policing, and taxing businesses.
Limited knowledge of financial concepts is associated with suboptimal financial behavior such as low rate of formal savings, poor usage of bank accounts, amongst others. Well-designed financial education programs have the potential to improve financial knowledge and behavior, leading to improvements in wellbeing.
Previous research suggests having community members monitor health service providers can improve the delivery of health services, and greatly improve child health as a result. In Uganda, researchers conducted a large-scale randomized evaluation of a program called Accountability Can Transform (ACT) Health that followed this model.
Youth unemployment is a key barrier to economic growth in developing countries, and is a key policy priority for the Philippines Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). Researchers partnered with DOLE and the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation to evaluate the impact of a national employment bridging program on education outcomes, youth employability, and employment.
Intestinal helminths—including hookworm, roundworm, whipworm, and schistosomiasis—infect more than one in four people worldwide. Researchers evaluated the short-run impacts of a mass school-based deworming program in western Kenya, and found that deworming substantially improved health and school participation of treated children, as well as of untreated children in treatment schools and children in neighboring schools.
For millions of smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa, the shift from subsistence agriculture to engagement with markets is a promising way to improve rural livelihoods. However, engaging with markets often requires the difficult task of adopting new inputs, such as improved seed varieties and fertilizers, as well as implementing new farming techniques.
Recent evidence has demonstrated the difficulty of stimulating entrepreneurship and reducing poverty through microcredit. In rural Morocco, where microcredit take-up is relatively low, researchers are conducting a randomized evaluation to test the impact of improved microcredit loan design on its take-up, as well as the welfare and business conditions of borrowers.
Basic "pre-math" skills in young children have been shown to be important for developing later mathematics competency.1 In Costa Rica, researchers are evaluating the impact of a technology-based preschool math and coding program on the math and programming skills of preschool-aged children.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, farmers are often paid low prices for their produce, yet customers often pay high prices for staple foods. There are multiple potential explanations for this phenomenon, one of which is that traders may hold market power and collude, leading to higher food prices than there would be if those traders offered competing prices.
Renewable off-grid home lighting systems have the potential to reduce the use of kerosene lanterns and other expensive and dirty forms of light in areas that lack electricity, but adoption of such lighting systems is low.
Citizen trust and participation in the political system are necessary for stable democratic regimes. During the 2013 National Elections in Kenya, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) sent text messages to approximately two million registered voters to promote public interest and knowledge and to raise voter turnout. Researchers found that the text message campaign increased voter turnout but decreased trust in the electoral commission.
Many adults over age 65 across the world live in extreme poverty, however only 20 percent of seniors worldwide receive any form of pension. Non-contributory pension programs for seniors living below a certain income threshold may improve food consumption, mental health, and lower reliance on younger family members for economic support.

The beauty, as well as the art and the fashion, have no preset colour schemes, but they are the result of a passionate plot, inventive and with fantasy, with an important role played by the culture and traditions. The Jodiel collections of, designed and realized by David Moresco, do not conform to the trends' limits, but develop themselves on forms and unconventional themes, where the transformism and the constant evolution become strength's points.

Repression is part and parcel in democracy. In a democracy the rulers require complete control over the people. Revolts are countered with political repression in the form of arrests, armed raids and physical and emotional harassment by the police. Movements are watered downed by mainstream environmental groups such as Forest Ethics and Greenpeace. These groups wish to reform colonialism instead of eliminating it. These groups, much like Enbridge and BP, rely upon capitalism and cooperation with the state to exist. These mainstream environmental organizations frack the rebellion out of people in the form of referendums, voting and waving signs. Meanwhile, they use our radical words only to dilute, co-opt and contribute to polluted deals undermining real grassroots movements and then ensure us that democracy is still drinkable. (more…)

Anti-Pipeline Graffiti Raid Update: VPD claiming $500,000 in damages not including graffiti (Canada)
Saturday, November 15th, 2014
by indyvan, Vancouver Media Coop
On June 3rd, 2014, Vancouver Police staged a "guns-drawn" raid against a house of known indigenous and anarchist opponents to the energy policies of the central government and its corporate sponsors.
The ostensible reason for the raid was given as the search for graffiti materials believed to be tied to an ongoing "no pipelines" tagging campaign. One person was arrested, but released without charges or conditions.
The Vancouver Police Department returned on June 12 at around 9am with a warrant to take a DNA blood sample from the accused. The accused was again released without charges. There has been no info on the result of the DNA blood sample nearly 5 months after. (more…)

Graffiti in solidarity with the Mi'kmaq warriors' road blockade in New Brunswick against the fracking company SWN (Kanada)
Thursday, December 5th, 2013
Last night (December 2nd), we painted graffiti in solidarity with the Mi'kmaq warriors' road blockade in New Brunswick against the fracking company SWN. It reads "Solidarity with the Mi'kmaq blockades," "Fuck RCMP, Fuck OPD," "Fight back," and "Solidarity with the Mi'kmaq Warriors."
With this humble gesture we send them the strength of knowing that they are not alone and that their brave actions are inspiring us to show our feelings of revolt in more concrete terms. This is just the beginning for us, we intend to escalate our level of conflictuality.
We also put up a large piece that read "Strength + courage, fuck the state," not only for Germaine Jr Breau and the rest of the brave Mi'kmaq warriors, but for all those who show courage in times of adversity. We would like to take this opportunity to send greetings of solidarity to: The five recently arrested in Barcelona including Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar who remain in custody, the accused comrades of the Nea Filadelfia bank robbery case in Greece and to the inspiring Alfredo Cospito and Nicola Gai recently sentenced for the shooting of a CEO of a nuclear power company, your words are more important and inspiring than you can imagine.
In furtherance of an escalated anarchist conflict in the States, solidarity to the Mi'kmaq warriors and all those who fight back.

Melbourne: Churches & Church Vehicles Sprayed, Public Walls Reclaimed (Australia)
Monday, October 1st, 2012
325 receives and transmits:
On Sunday the 31st of September under the cover of darkness we set off with hatred in our hearts & cans of spray-paint in our back-packs.
Once again we found ourselves in the outer northern suburbs of Melbourne – in particular the predominantly low-income neighborhood of Glenroy.
And once more we decided to direct our anger at the church; there always seem to be plenty of churches in the poorer suburbs & Glenroy is no exception.
Our first stop was the Corpus Christi Catholic Church where we sprayed 'FUCK RELIGION' and an anarchy symbol on a side of the church facing a main road, we then made our way to the front door of the church and sprayed 'JESUS RAPES' and another anarchy symbol.
We then walked across the road to St Matthews Anglican Church where we sprayed several anarchy symbols and the words 'RELIGION BREEDS ENSLAVEMENT'. In the car park we were lucky enough to find two church vehicles. Unfortunately we were not in the position to be able to torch the vehicles so we did the next best thing – redecorated them with some anarchy symbols and some random scribble which will no doubt be very costly for them to remove.
We continued onwards into the night, stopping several times to paint slogans on some very public walls. The slogans were : 'FUCK AUTHORITY!', 'FUCK THE POLICE!', 'COPS MURDER', 'SOCIAL WAR'. 'CLASS WAR' and of course plenty of circle a's to compliment them.
We then made our way to the Glenroy Uniting Church and sprayed the slogans 'PEDO CHRIST' & 'GOD IS DEAD' on the front of the church, and of course we sprayed some anarchy symbols as well just in case they were wondering just who these angry vandals were.
Running low on paint & high on adrenalin we decided to call it a night, happy that we had ventured much further than last time & already thinking of future actions!
Next time we will definitely have to bring some fire making utensils as it is high time that the night time landscape of Melbourne's outer suburban wastelands were lit up with the flames of nihilistic social warfare!
We would like to dedicate this night's actions to our chaotic church hating comrades in Bristol UK, the Free Thought Association / Fraction of Gender Renegades. We also send greetings to all FAI insurgents currently active on planet Earth, to all the comrades in cyberspace still operating under the AntiSec banner & of course to all the imprisoned anarchist fighters struggling for dignity in the prisons around the world!

Anti-Sona 2012- Anarchist Protest in the Philippines
July 23, 2012 Monday
A group of anarchist demonstrators wearing mask, around 30 individuals, (with black clothes tied on in their face) unpredictably showed up from Aurora Avenue, Cubao Quezon City staging uncompromising rebellion against the State of the Nation Address or SONA.
Circle A black flag was waved in the air, along with green and black and red and black flags that symbolizes an ever-expanding expression of solidarity in the struggle for radical social change and liberation that are inclusive for all common people and every walks of life not solely amongst activists circles and political movements.

We accuse CSG for providing « security » in Detention Centers in Sweden, participating in repression against migrants, especially in Marsta Detention Center, which has a capacity of 100 detainees.
By helping Swedish Migration board organizing imprisonment and deportation, CSG are involved in a global racist machine which every day murders and makes suffering thousands of people. (more…)

Cambridge: Solidarity Graffiti with Eneko Gogeaskoetxea, Basque Anti-Imperialist Fighter of ETA (UK)
Friday, April 13th, 2012
325 receives and transmits:
We are autonomous individuals in Cambridge who wish to react to the state-seizure and international extradition of a Cambridge resident, Eneko Gogeaskoetxea Arronategui, who is accused of being an anti-imperialist fighter of Basque independence group ETA.
E. Gogeaskoetxea was arrested in July ('11) and now faces extradition to Spain where he faces 8 arrest warrants alleging a series of actions, such as attacks on a police station and an airport, as well as plotting to kill the Spanish King Juan Carlos II in 1997. When the state takes hostages of the social/revolutionary struggle, the words 'innocent' and 'guilty' do not mean anything to us.
We are anarchists and while we criticize through words and action political leftism and militaristic, national-focused revolutionary organisation, we stand alongside other oppressed people in asymmetric war with our enemy the state and the elite classes. The British authorities are planning on handing over E. Gogeaskoetxea to the Spanish state – the same Spanish state that has locked up and murdered many Basque fighters, anarchists, anti-fascists, autonomous and subversive elements.
In the isolation/torture cells of Spanish democratic-fascism, as all over Europe and all the worlds states, they intend to disappear and silence revolutionary consciousness by trying to disappear and silence those in struggle. We affirm that violent struggle against the class oppressors is necessary, whether in the territories occupied by UK PLC or the Spanish state, and will not let the police snatch a man from the street, accused of being an enemy of the state and disappear them into democracy's prisons.
For international anti-capitalist struggle.
Innocent or guilty – Solidarity with Eneko Gogeaskoetxea!
Against state extradition and counter-insurgency – The State is the Terrorist!

HLS Supplier 'Henderson Biomedical' visited with slogans (UK)
Saturday, February 25th, 2012
From Bite Back:
23 February 2012
"Henderson Biomedical are a newly exposed supplier of lab equipment to Huntingdon Life Sciences. A few nights ago activists visited their premises in Lower Sydenham, London, to deliver a message to the company.
Mark if you keep supporting HLS you will continue to be a target of the animal rights movement. It won't hurt to stop dealing with them but as the graffiti said, this is just the start if you don't.
If you continue to be responsible for animal cruelty, the attacks will continue.
Drop HLS!"

Graffiti in solidarity with Zerman, Billy and Eat (Bolivia)
Tuesday, February 21st, 2012
From culmine, translated by war on society:
8 February 2012
In the early hours of February 8, 2012, the group Uncontrollable Forces in Solidarity with the Black Rebels, painted graffiti on the walls of downtown La Paz in solidarity with the comrade Zerman Elias who faces an abbreviated trial after spending months within the Chilean prisons, accused of being a danger to the public order after being arrested in a street confrontation; and also in solidarity with the comrades Billy and Eat who in Indonesia face the charges of placing an incendiary device at an ATM, both members of the FAI [Informal Anarchist Federation.]
We emphasize, as has already been done by means of an appeal, the RO-CCF, in making the days of trial against the comrades into days of unrest and rage against those directly or indirectly involved in keeping the comrades as prisoners of war with a future "exemplary punishment."

Welcome to my home during your trip.
You need to fly to Jordan for eating these dishes. Let me make this trip a memorable one just to eat:
- Falafel – Like I already mentioned, Jordan is known for having excellent falafel, which consist of ground chickpeas and spices, deep fried in little patties until golden brown and crispy. They are eaten plain or often stuffed into a sandwich for a common street food snacks.
- Fattet hummus – I know you've heard of hummus, and you'll undoubtedly have some of the best hummus you've ever had in Jordan. But something I had never tried before visiting was fattet hummus, the combination of hummus with bread which is soaked into the hummus making the hummus more fluffy and not as dense. It's amazing.
- Moutabel – When it comes to dipping dishes (part of the greater mezze spread), moutabel in Jordan was one of my favorites. The combination of creamy roasted eggplant, garlic, sesame paste, and olive oil is a flavor and texture that's hard to beat.
- Manakish – Manakish is one of the staples of Levantine cuisine, and you'll find it all over Amman, as a popular meal and snack. It's sort of like a pizza, in that the base is a circle of dough, which is traditionally topped with olive oil and za'atar (a thyme herb mixture) and baked. They also have versions of manakish with halloumi cheese and egg that are also superb.
- Shish kebabs (kofte) – There are lots of wonderful vegetarian dishes in Jordan, but I have to admit I'm a meat lover, and few things satisfied me in Jordan more than shish kebabs. The minced meat, usually lamb or beef, is mixed with salt and parsley, formed into sausage shapes, and grilled over charcoal. The salty and fattiness of the meat brings out an incredible smokey taste.
- Kousa mahshi – For this excellent dish, which is common around the Levantine region, zucchini are hollowed out, stuffed with a combination of rice and minced lamb, then cooked for hours on low heat until they become fall apart tender and the lamb fat has fully flavored the entire dish. It's also excellent with grape leaves.
- Maqluba – Literally translated to upside-down, maqluba is a dish that includes chicken and spices on the bottom of a pot, cooked with rice on the top. Once the dish is fully cooked, it's flipped over onto a tray, so the rice goes to the bottom and the meat or chicken remains on top.
- Mansaf – Known as the national dish of Jordan, mansaf is a meal that totally sums up the culture of Jordan, its generosity and hospitality, and the love for lamb and yoghurt. The dish includes lamb that's cooked until fall apart tender in jameed (a type of dry goat yoghurt made into a gravy), and served with rice, more jameed, and topped with pine nuts. What's also fascinating is how mansaf is eaten, off a communal tray, with balls of lamb and rice rolled into ones hand, and consumed without touching your fingers to your mouth (demonstrations provided for this one).

I'm not the first to admit that I enjoy shopping at Kmart. The prices and trendy home wares have won me over a few times when visiting just to buy the girls more craft supplies. It's dangerous saying you will have a browse at Kmart because there is no such thing. It's almost like a trip to Ikea without the crazy maze. One pineapple here and a few cushions later, you walk out having spent $100 with enough décor to deck out your home.
The only issue with buying such fabulous home wares from Kmart is that EVERYBODY has them and I like to differentiate my home from that of a junk mail catalogue. Enter Kmart Hacks.
Fleur from Our Urban Box wrote this cracker of a post sharing the best Kmart Hacks on the internet and Toni from Finding Myself Young wrote a Kmart Hacks post on their Shadow Boxes. There is even a Kmart Hacks Facebook page where people share their latest Kmart purchases changed to suit their home.
Enter my entry into the Kmart Hacks: PomPom Velvet Cushions.
At the beginning of the year when I was researching cushions and linen to make over our main bedroom, I went to Pillow Talk and Adairs to get some cushion inspiration for our bedroom. I was really taken by the pom pom bohemian look cushions, but I was not so taken by their price.
At a recent expedition to Kmart to buy photo frames, I walked past the velvet cushions and wanted to buy some instantly to add a winter texture to our living room. Except we have A LOT of cushions. And despite these ones from Kmart being super soft, they were a bit plain for my liking.
And then I scrolled past this post via The Crafted Life and I got my inspiration on what to do with those plain velvet cushions. A trip to Spotlight to get some pom pom trimming and fabric glue and I was in business to jump on the Kmart Hacks train.
What you will need:
1 Kmart Velvet Cushion ( I bought 2 in the purple and teal)
2.4 meters of pompom trimming (can get from Spotlight and around $3.50 per meter)
Fabric glue (make sure it dries clear)
Paddle pop stick (to assist with the gluing)
Fabric scissors (to get a clean cut through the pom pom trimming)
Once you've made one, you will want to make more. It took me half an hour to make both but I left them to dry for 24 hours before putting the inserts back in and placing them on the couch.
Are you a fan of Kmart? What was the last thing you bought from there?
I'm linking up with Essentially Jess for IBOT

University of Kansas forward Carlton Bragg's indefinite suspension has been lifted.
KU head coach Bill Self says Bragg will suit up and play in Monday night's game against Kansas State University.
Last week, Bragg entered into a diversion agreement on a drug paraphernalia charge.
The paraphernalia was found last month while university police were investigating a reported rape at McCarthy Hall, which houses the basketball team on campus. Five other KU players are listed as witnesses on the police report in the assault case, which involves a 16-year-old girl.
The drug case is not related to the alleged rape case at the housing complex, which is located next door to Allen Fieldhouse.

I am Eunice Angel Dela Cruz Cruz 😀
When I enrolled for this course, I just thought, "hhmmm mahal na mahal yata ako ng math, ayaw akong pakawalan." (and as if naman we'd part ways any sooner hehe)
I don't remember myself hating math, in fact, I think I am very open and excited when it's math time. I remember how the challenge of solving math problems (kind of) trigger the "competitive" me. Until the 1st half of my high school life, I think it was good. But it just became more and more challenging (and my math teacher/s were just way too intimidating for me that I can't ask them for help #shytype hahaha jk) that even though my competitiveness is triggered, it was overpowered by anxiety and nervousness that sometimes, I just can't get over with.
But truly, I do not hate math, I still find it interesting. I just need the right motivation and understanding as to where I'd be able to use all the things that math offers.
I am at ease, as of the moment. But… I think once this week ends, I'd be eaten by panic and I won't be as happy as I am right now because I won't be able to do things that are not related to academics (a.k.a. no time for my hobbies). #haggardsemforever :< #verypessimistic hahahaha

Most of my time is spent doing things I would never miss. Responding to e-mails, navigating personal politics, vacant hours of entertainment, wearing a bra, sitting at a desk, sitting in a meeting, sitting on a plane, sitting in a car. Perpetrating the whitewashing of existence by buying into joy and sanity at all times at all expense. Every moment seems to be on the precipice of the next moment, but never really getting there.
Too many of my thoughts are missing things I never really had. A close girlfriend I would talk to almost every day. Skin and hair and flesh I didn't want to crawl out of. Time off and away. Enough money. Passion. Intellectual curiosity. A child folded into my arms. Actually wanting a fucking salad. A perfect garden. Hardwood floors. Being the object of desire. Being at least as strong as I pretend to be or need to be. Being able to eat something, anything, without it being fraught with failure or success or every hateful thought I have about myself. Running fast and hard.
But tonight I am missing they joys I have known.
When I would get sad like this I would call my friend E. Not sad for any reason, or not any recent reason anyway. And he wouldn't let me explain. He would just say, "I know, sweetie, I know. It's ok. I know." Over and over again until I caught my breath. Until the pain of the shadows of hurt didn't stab. And I felt so understood and so loved.
When I would spend the night at my great grandmothers and she would get out the prettiest little bowls and put a bit of cherry ice cream in them – one for me and one for her. And I hated the cherry ice cream. But she loved it so much and we would take small spoonfuls. And I was the universe and life was possibility.
My mom always waking before me and coaxing me awake so gently, and allowing me 15 more minutes.
My dad's joy when one of his fireworks would do exactly what it was supposed to.
My little cat purring just for me – all my joys and sorrows of my childhood reflected in her animal eyes.
I am wondering if to be human means to feel so unknown. I am expected to know so many answers and I know so few. I am afraid of the sadness because I am afraid of the weakness. I am afraid of writing what is my reality because I am afraid of the perception of selfishness. So thank you for reading and allowing me to miss some things.

Mick Abrahams – Working In The Blues Kitchen (2014)
mp3 320 kbps | 109 MB | UL | OB | TB
Another great album from the blues virtuoso. Recently discovered previously unreleased studio tracks from the blues guitar maestro, recorded earlier this century and featuring a few blues covers amongst a mainly self penned album of new songs.
Zane Williams – Overnight Success (2013)
New album from the Texas-based singer/songwriter. What makes Zane Williams stand out is his songs. Like mini-movies, they pull you in, tell you a story, make you laugh, and remind you of life's deepest truths. Zane wrote all 11 songs on this album, and while they cover a broad range of sonic and lyrical territory, his unique voice runs through them like a thread that ties them all together. Each song takes you on its own journey, from anthemic love to blue-collar bravado. The music is Country; no doubts, no apologies, but Zane makes the traditional sounds his own and manages to stay relevant while paying homage to the past.
Richard Lindgren – Driftwood (the 309 sessions) (2013)
Tupelo Honey – Brave New World (2014)
mp3 320 kbps | 103 MB | UL | OB The album, full of electric guitar and drums will please any of those who are a fan of the genre. Overall it is a very well put together album with some really good songs.

Lesson 6: Let Music Lift Your Spirit and Soothe Your Soul
Albert King"Blues means what milk does to a baby. Blues is what the spirit is to the minister. We sing the blues because our hearts have been hurt, our souls have been disturbed.
-- Alberta Hunter."
Listen up. You've been in a crisis. Having gone through the normal mental process of adjustment (lesson 1), gotten to the point where you can see positives from your situation (lesson 2), developed perspective (lesson 3) begun seeing family and friends (lesson 4), you're beginning to feel better about yourself, your family and friends too. You're beginning to believe and have a little faith in humanity...in yourself (lesson 5). Once in a while you may drink a little too much, and, on occasions, you may need to take a pill to sleep, but, for the most part, you're on pretty much an even keel. Like the great singer/pianist Nina Simone, you can smile broadly and say with passion, "I'm feeling good."And when you're feeling good, you wanna proclaim it like Moses and drop it from the highest mountaintop. You wanna kick it like JB (soul brotha #1) and scream it at The Apollo, "Wow! I feel good!" And you wanna bounce it to an infectious, hypnotic reggae beat, and say with Bob Marley, "We jammin/We jammin/and I hop you like jammin too." Yes, when you're feeling good, you got to have some toe-tapping, hard-driving, soul-surviving, sho-nuf music to lift your spirit and soothe your soul.
What should you listen to?
What type of music should you listen to? Listen to music that corresponds to the way you're feeling (sad, depressed, lonely, happy, enthused, relaxed). Listen to music to get the feeling you want. Let music get you excited enough to run off to a rock concert or relaxed enough to dream of walking by the ocean. For example, if you want to go to sleep, listen to some cool jazz such as "Kind of blue" or "In a silent way." by Miles Davis. Or listen to a Schubert sonata.
Listen to music to music to shake things up. If you get stuck in a rut, let the revolutionary words and beat of Marley groove you, until you find yourself, patting your feet, and singing, "Get up, stand up/Stand up for your rights." Or continue the protest for civil and human rights with jazz diva Nina and shout, "Mississippi Goddamn!"
What about the blues?
In your selection music, don't forget the blues. And don't listen what some of your friends say: that the blues is just tired ole sad music. The blues is a musical form that encompasses all emotions. Nor is it just old. The blues (and for that matter, gospel music) can found in virtually all forms of contemporary American music: rhythm and blues, country and western, jazz. Yes, some blues is sad. But what's wrong with that? As you will see, by allowing the expression of sadness or loneliness, blues provides a survival framework and healthy outlet for people, especially people in crisis.
What is the blues?
1. Blues music is truth-telling. The form allows, even forces, an artist to sing or play from the heart. " When communicated effectively, it causes the listener to feel the rhythm and the words or ideas deeply. It evokes the truth from both the artist and the listener.
2. The blues is cathartic. Listening to the plight of others can help you to better accept your own, especially when that plight is performed to evoke feelings appropriate to the story.
The positive effects of catharsis
In an article in Mother Jones magazine, author David Jadju talks about the positive effects of catharsis in the blues music:
"The blues was designed to make oppressed people feel better. But the magic of the blues is that it isn't just about African Americans, but about people everywhere. Its tension-and-release form is designed to wring out the emotions, cleanse the soul, and make the audience feel whole-- like gospel music, but without the religion. In the same article, Bruce Iglauer, founder and owner of Alligator Records, states, "As we say in Chicago, you listen to the blues to get rid of the blues."
The healing effects of the blues
Musicologist Marteinn Bjarnar gives even deeper insights into the healing effects of blues music. Bjarnar views music as "folk medicine," especially music which used certain instruments to get certain undertones or "drones." "Such instruments may include," he writes, "jaws harp, bagpipes, didgeridoo, sitar, chiming bowls, mountain horn, various one-string instruments to be struck or bowed, and modern instruments such as pipe organ with pedal point (foot pedal), programmable synthesizers, and even tape loops can give the good effect of undertones, if used in a suitable manner." Of course the blues is sung and played with instruments which enable the musician to skillfully utilize undertones (harmonicas, organs and guitars, etc.).
Sista Monica
Beyond blues authors or blues label owners, it's the bluesmen and blueswomen who are best qualified to speak of the healing effect of blues music. Sista Monica, a part of a new generation of blues artists, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called synovial sarcoma and given three months to live without treatment. She underwent eighteen months of chemotherapy that shrunk the tumor so surgeons could remove it. Unfortunately, she was left with damaged nerves on the entire upper right side of her body. She eventually regained mobility on the right side of her body and say she is singing with more passion than ever. In fact, she has written an autobiography of her experience: "Soul, Spirit & Survival."
Sista Monica says the blues was healing for her, because it helped her to deal with the truth about cancer and other life experiences.
Other blues artists
Though he didn't write a book on the subject, the late great blues guitarist/singer Albert King often sang about blues healing. In the song "I'll play the blues for you," he sang with passion about his desire to play the blues and ease worried minds:
"I got no big name/Well, I ain't no big star/
But I'll play the blues for you/ on my guitar/
And all your loneliness/ I got to soothe/
I'll play the blues for you."
The late great blues guitarist Son Seals, who was once a drummer for Albert King, was adamant in advice to live audience to partake in some blues healing because, as he loved to say, "They're good for you." In a live album made in Chicago, he told fellow Chicagoans at the end of his last set: "Don't for about these damn blues!" he said.
"When you go home, get in bed and close your eyes,
dream about these damn blues. Don't forget about 'em.
When you get up in the morning, you say blues!
I said, when you get in the morning, you say blues!"
Whatever the genre, play music to lift your spirt and soothe your soul. So go ahead: Rise to R&B and shout "I feel good!" At work, groove with Smoke Robinson on the easy-listening radio station and sing, "You really got a hold on me!" Listen to Mozart and doze off to sleep. But don't forget the blues. They're good for you.
Have you forgotten about the blues?

7 Weeks Pregnant! Happy Birthday to me!
I have good news and bad news… This week has been very difficult.
Last week I was at work, going about my business, doing what I do (read obsessively google for anything pregnancy related), when i suddenly noticed some spotting. For what I learnt in my research its totally normal to spot in early pregnancy, but this is the moment that my brain hits the panic button and it overrides my good senses. I obviously freaked out and called the doctor who told me to come in for an ultrasound immediately.
The doctor saw the sac an yolk which was a relief and she explained that even tough spotting is normal at this stage, it's a concern because in my case it comes with non stop crams…. so I was put on bedrest for a whole week. Here is a video I recorded at my 6th week pregnancy vlog.
Anyways, so I did sen all week in bed and it was sooo hard! I used to dream of the day I could just lay around all day but holy fuck that's so hard and boring. I've watched everything on Netflix and I've pinned like 1000 new pins on Pinterest… I've also got old habits back and started playing candy crush again… I'm not proud of that.. But at least I finally beat level 425 (only to get stuck again on 437).
I had an appointment on Tuesday with an OBGYN and even though I was on bed rest I decided to keep the appointment… for anxious mamas like myself, every u/s is a great chance t calm down. Andy and I went together. I was 6 weeks and 2 days by then so we didn't expect to see much, I knew the baby was too small. The doctor surprised us by playing the heart beat of the baby…. we were totally caught off-guard and it was beautiful.
On Wednesday, something wasn't feeling right. I was still having cramps but they felt different from the initial cramps. At first it was more like localized cramps, in my uterus area. Then it became more like abdominal pain where my whole stomach hurts, from top to bottom. I went to the bathroom and there was blood, a lot more than Friday… red blood. It was scary. I thought for sure this was all over.
The doctor's office was already closed so i called them on Thursday and they told me to come in the following morning… 9/26/14, the day of my birthday. Knowing how I'm usually not very lucky and bad shit just happens to me, I thought for sue we were coming in and not having anything in there. Like I said, the week was a hard one…
Friday finally rolls around and we go to the doctor's office. I kept my eyes closed as the she started analyzing the image on the ultrasound but since I didnt hear any bad sounds, I figured it was safe to look. My baby was still there and the heart was beating. It was such a relief and the best birthday gift I could ask for at this point. I immediately melted.
I was so glad that Andy was there with me.
I'm going to be on bed rest for another week and provided that I don't bleed again, I can go back to work after the next weekend. The rule is, when I don't bleed for a week straight I can go back. I need to go back to work soon because we just opened escrow on a house a couple weeks ago so we need to prove we have jobs by the time of closing! It's been nerve wrecking… Im just trying to stay calm and distracted.
Hope you're week was good!!

IVF Update: 6dp5dt Live Pregnancy Test
Oh man, I should not have done this! Watch through the end and let me know what you think… Don't judge based on the beginning of the video…
IVF | FET | 5dp5dt – Symptoms
Ok, so after the transfer I had cramps for 48 straight hours. Consulted with Dr. Google and he thinks that's a good sign and that it could e implantation pains. But in order to to give me too much hope (or maybe not to get sued), he also says that it could NOT be implantation pains. I choose to believe the former. Read the rest of this entry
IVF| FET| 4dp5dt – I was a bad bad girl today…
Hi TTCers!! So today I had this crazy urge… to pee on a stick! Bad idea! There was no line that and I did freak out momentarily even though I knew it was too early… I went straight to youtube and looked for other people's tests and saw a lot of people that had tested on day 4 that got BFNs, but got BFPs after…plus my transfer was only at 1PM to technically I'm 3.5dp5dt… so I'm still in the clear!

PlayStation 4 may have launched a few days ago in the US, but here in the UK we're less than a week away from the next generation. Microsoft's Xbox One launches in just five days time (with the UK launch of the PS4 set to follow a week later) and in the build-up to the big day retailer GAME has been holding 'lock-in' events in their stores for eager gamers to try out the new machine. I attended one on Friday and thought I'd share some thoughts (and pictures!) with you.
Arriving outside my local store just before 8PM, a small crowd had already gathered. In total, about twenty people had turned up to try out Microsoft's new box of tricks (not too surprising, considering the bitter cold), and we queued patiently for around 15 minutes before we could get inside to the blessed warmth, fending off the occasional question of "Oi blud, what game iz you waitin' for?" with mumbled one-word responses.
When we finally got inside, we found six Xbox One consoles (complete with chunky Kinect sensors) lined up along one wall. Two were playing Ryse, another two featured Dead Rising 3 and the final pair of systems were running Forza Motorsport 5 and FIFA 14 (which was the only title that allowed a two-player game). We were eager to get to the gaming, but unfortunately we had to first stand through a barely-working slideshow presentation (featuring a few clips of now-ex Microsoft exec Don Mattrick – oops?) while some insipid Nickelback tune played over the store's speakers. Thankfully, Nickelback was turned off mid-song, but we still had the slideshow to get through. Ten minutes later and we were free to avail ourselves of the next generation.
My two friends and I decided to give Dead Rising a bash to begin with. I managed to play the demo twice over the course of the evening, which was handy as I couldn't manage to figure out how to combine items the first time around (pro-tip: hold RB). I came across a van and a forklift truck at one point and stood trying to turn them into a combo vehicle for a few seconds; generally, I'd just try every button, but having to stand in one place in the midst of a zombie apocalypse isn't really an option so I had to run away.
On my second attempt (having been told how to combine by a helpful staff member), I happened to come across a motorbike parked on a roof terrace by a pool. Quite what it was doing on a roof I'm sure I'll never discover, but luckily there was a ramp leading off the building so I sped off the edge and landed right next to a steamroller. Yes. I built a rollerhawg.
The playable slice of Dead Rising 3 was a timed demo (I didn't time it myself, but it felt about ten to fifteen minutes in length), and having watched a few videos of the game beforehand, I did notice that some areas that should have been accessible were cordoned off with high concrete walls – I'm guessing we were given a small portion of the world to roam around in. There were also no objectives to undertake, but then it wouldn't have been possible to complete any in the time given so we got to focus on trying out a variety of weapons and costumes (I managed to dress up protagonist Nick Ramos in a big shark suit, a medieval knight's suit of armour and a lady's dress) and try and turn as many of the undead denizens of Los Perdidos into pulp as possible. The rollerhawg had me grinning like an idiot and helped me to amass more than a thousand kills. Also, hitting zombies with a baguette is not very effective.
Next up was Ryse: Son of Rome, a game I've been rather unsure of. Since it's reveal at this year's E3 I've thought it looked astoundingly pretty. I also quite like the setting of the game and the fact that Crytek have gone for full-on performance capture, giving the game a blockbuster cinematic look. But I've been a bit worried about the gameplay; I think a lot of people got the wrong end of the stick after the E3 reveal when they started to complain about the game being nothing but QTEs, though I thought it was pretty damn clear that these were simply contextual execution animations. So that wasn't my worry. I simply wasn't sure it'd be much fun. Thankfully, I really enjoyed the demo.
The slice of gameplay on offer was the multiplayer colosseum combat we've seen plenty of footage of, though strangely it was only single-player – a little confusing, considering two consoles next to one another were running the same thing. I would've liked to try it in co-op with a friend. We were treated to some wave-based combat in a shifting arena that offered some mild objectives (destroy catapults by tipping burning oil on them, kill archers on a raised platform and so on), but the first thing that really struck me is just how beautiful it looked. At one point between waves, I stopped to pan the camera around the colosseum taking in the surroundings, the crowd baying for blood while multi-coloured confetti danced through the air. It was incredibly impressive stuff, much as you'd expect from Crytek, and I can't wait to see the environments in the single player campaign.
Combat is pretty enjoyable, allowing you to settle into a decent rhythm of shield bashes, sword slashes, dodge-rolls and executions. Blocking enemy attacks is timing-based – tap 'A' too early, and your avatar will simply knock his sword against his shield in a taunt, leaving you open to attack. Hit the button just as an attack comes in, however, and you'll deflect the enemy's blow and instead leave them open to sword slashes. Of course, you can also dodge-roll out of the way if you think you'll miss the timing, but you probably won't get an opening in their defences that way. Enemies are quick to surround you and they don't wait for you to dispatch their comrades before lunging in as Assassin's Creed's hordes are wont to do, so you always have to keep an eye out to see who's about to take a swipe at you and time your blocks accordingly.
When you've done enough damage to a barbarian, you'll see a skull appear above their head. Pulling RT will segue you into an execution animation, with the enemy being outlined in a specific colour to denote a button press: blue for the 'X' button, yellow for 'Y'. It doesn't seem possible to fail these – missing the prompt seems to result in the execution playing out anyway, just with you receiving a lower score. It's also possible to chain executions by injuring more than one enemy to execution states and then positioning yourself between them before pulling on the trigger. These sections are all about the grisly, slow motion spectacle and despite the lack of player agency they're good fun.
Whether or not they will still be enjoyable after ten hours remains to be seen however, and that goes for game itself too. I thoroughly enjoyed my short time with Ryse, enough to put down a pre-order, so I do hope the campaign will be engaging across its length. I also think the multiplayer could be quite fun with a competent friend in the same way as most other horde/survival modes. At the very least, I'm sure I'll enjoy the story, and Ryse is certainly a fantastic graphical showcase for the new system.
After hacking through waves of barbarians, it was time to drive a shiny car through some shiny environments in Forza Motorsport 5. I found this beautiful racing game to be the standout graphical showcase of the event – it's genuinely stunning. I've watched plenty of videos of Turn 10's next-gen launch title and marvelled at the visuals, but it looks so much better in person; the way you can see your car's dashboard reflected in the windscreen is particularly impressive, as is the way the sunlight plays across the asphalt as you make your way around the course.
I raced a bright yellow McLaren P1 around a single lap of Laguna Seca and got to experience those new impulse triggers firsthand. They'll take a little getting used to, but I enjoyed the precise feedback even if I struggled to stay on the road a lot of the time – I'm just bad at racing games. Forza 5 is one of my launch day games however, so I'm hopeful I'll get better, and I look forward to seeing how other games implement those triggers.
As for FIFA? I didn't play it. My two friends played against one another though, and I'm happy to say it looked like FIFA. Character models in replays did look rather special though. I haven't bought a football game in years as I just don't play them often enough to make it worth the money. Happily, FIFA will be coming free with my Xbox One, so I'll be able to play those occasional matches without having to buy the game.
Back in my Eurogamer Expo piece, I noted down my initial impressions about the new Xbox One controller. At EGX, I only managed to use that pad for ten minutes during a bit of Killer Instinct, but at the GAME lock-in I used it far more. My initial reaction hasn't drastically changed: I really like that controller. It fits well in the hand, I like the sculpted triggers and it just generally feels right, a clear evolution of the Xbox 360 controller. I did mention in that earlier piece that I thought the bumpers might be a bit more of a stretch than on the current pad and that the sticks felt a little loose, but neither of those complaints held true on Friday; while playing Dead Rising 3, using the bumpers felt just like the 360 controller and the sticks felt noticeably tighter than those I used at EGX – either some adjustments have been made or that pad had taken a bit of abuse. Either way, I really, really like the Xbox One controller, and I can't wait to get my hands on my own one.
A quick note on the console's dashboard: I did try to go to the dash once while Forza was loading, but unfortunately it was the development version that you can see in this picture so I couldn't do anything with it. Interestingly, going into the dashboard also reset the Forza demo, so I had to wait for it to load again before racing my lap. It's a bit disappointing, though not entirely unexpected, that I couldn't try out the full release dashboard for myself, but I guess that leaves something for me to discover on my very own Xbox One when it arrives on Friday.
The only disappointment from the lock-in was the lack of Killer Instinct, a game I've been itching to play ever since that ten-minute spell at Eurogamer Expo. But again, I won't have to wait too long to jump back into that on my own system. Overall, the GAME event has made me even more excited to sit down with my Xbox One in four days and get stuck into some shiny next-gen gaming. I can't wait.

Highly versatile and offering a number of user-friendly, high performance benefits, TREMCO SX600NA has been developed by tremco illbruck for refurbishment work as well as fast-track projects where speed is of the essence.
The ammonia-free, cementitious-based smoothing underlayment is moisture-tolerant, making it suitable for use beneath a damp proof membrane. It can be applied over the manufacturer's widely specified DPMs, such as TREMCO ES100, without the need for priming.
Crucially, it can be used to smooth irregularities in an existing sub-floor, including where old adhesive residue is still in evidence – avoiding time-consuming removal operations – before being walked on just two hours later. New floorcoverings can be applied after a further two hours.
TREMCO SX600NA is supplied in 20kg plastic-lined paper sacks of grey powder, together with bottles containing the 5kg of white latex liquid required for mixing on site. Pot life is 20 minutes before initial set while, at an average thickness of 3mm, one mix will give a coverage of approximately five square metres.
The advantageous application and performance characteristics of TREMCO SX600NA have led to its widespread use across a number of sectors. These include commercial and retail work where overnight completion is often imperative or, in social housing maintenance work, where tenants' properties must be handed back within the day. The low odour also makes TREMCO SX600NA ideal for food preparation areas or other sensitive locations.
TREMCO SX600NA is available direct from tremco illbruck or through local and national distributors, while the manufacturer also offers a full specification and technical support service.
TREMCO offers a range of flooring adhesives to suit different applications. For further information, please call 01942 251400 or visit www.tremco-illbruck.com.

South Africa is facing acute water crisis. Especially in Cape Town the scarcity for water is much more this year. Considering this, South Africa has urged the Indian cricket team to bath for only two minutes or less than that. This is certainly a shocking request to a sports team who might not have encountered such situation in their entire life.
So, players who would love to do shower for long after practice are now said to have cut down their bathing time to two minutes respecting the request of South Africa.
When a reporter has questioned one of the players about this, the player has ignored and said that they have all came to play match and they are not bothered about other issues. This is certainly a sporting spirit. Everyone should learn from this. What say folks?
