The University of North Carolina Press offers small grants through their Thomas W. Ross Fund to help publish scholarly content generated in the University of North Carolina System. One-time matching grants are available to help with the costs of publishing being supported by UNC Press's Office of Scholarly Publishing Services (OSPS). Grants in the amount of $500-$3,000 will offset costs otherwise incurred and are intended to support the publication of monographs, textbooks, Open Educational Resources, and other scholarly publications. They may also be used to establish sustainable publishing initiatives, such as imprints, reissues of out of print works, series, or journals.
Applicants must have a UNC System institutional partner such as a department, research center, or library. This sponsoring partner, in coordination with the grant recipient, will be responsible for establishing editorial oversight and peer review (if necessary), will be listed as the publisher of the work, and will supply matching funds at a level to be determined. The OSPS will help applicants with publishing services as needed, including design, production, distribution, and advising on publishing strategy.
Applicants should fill out and submit the Grant Application Form. Applications will be reviewed on a quarterly basis by a team comprised of Kimberly van Noort, Vice President for Academic Programs, Faculty & Research at the UNC System; Mark Simpson-Vos, Editorial Director of UNC Press; John McLeod, Director of the OSPS; John Sherer, Director of UNC Press; and Leah Dunn, University Librarian at UNC Asheville.

Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelength region (1.4-3.0um) has recently attracted growing interest, owing to its potential for highly sensitive and highly selective chemical sensing in industrial, automotive, and life science applications. However, the relatively high cost of currently available TDLAS solutions prevents the widespread adoption of this technology into cost-sensitive, high-volume markets. In order to enable ultra-low cost SWIR TDLAS, imec is currently extending its silicon photonics platform with optical gain elements (lasers) using wafer-scale high-quality III-V epitaxial growth on Si through aspect-ratio trapping. Previously, imec demonstrated optically pumped laser devices on such platform, and is currently working towards electrically driven lasers for datacom applications, emitting at 1310nm.
As a post-doctoral researcher, you will extend this work by contributing to the development of SWIR tunable diode lasers in imec's emerging on III-V/Si photonics platform. More specifically, you will be responsible to drive the early pathfinding work to identify and develop optimized device and material stack concepts to realize efficient, electrically pumped lasers emitting in the 1.4-3.0um wavelength range. Working closely with imec's experts in III-V epitaxial growth, you will design and evaluate the potential of InGaAs, InP and/or GaSb laser structures grown directly on Si, through rigorous optical modeling and characterization. Subsequently, you will layout the most promising laser diode designs in a test mask and have it submitted for fabrication in imec's 300mm CMOS pilot line. Finally, you will carry out in-depth functional characterization of the developed laser diodes.
Your responsibilities will be
We offer you the opportunity to join one of the world's premier research centers in nanotechnology at its headquarters in Leuven, Belgium. With your talent, passion and expertise, you'll become part of a team that makes the impossible possible. Together, we shape the technology that will determine the society of tomorrow.
We are proud of our open, multicultural, and informal working environment with ample possibilities to take initiative and show responsibility. We commit to supporting and guiding you in this process; not only with words but also with tangible actions. Through imec.academy, 'our corporate university', we actively invest in your development to further your technical and personal growth.
We are aware that your valuable contribution makes imec a top player in its field. Your energy and commitment are therefore appreciated by means of a competitive salary.
This postdoctoral position is funded by imec through KU Leuven. Because of the specific financing statute which targets international mobility for postdocs, only candidates who did not stay or work/study in Belgium for more than 24 months in the past 3 years can be considered for the position (short stays such as holiday, participation in conferences, etc. are not taken into account).Apprenez-en davantage

ABUSE OF AUTHORITY: Reckless cop Deputy Daniel Powell drives through intersection without lights or siren – City says it's his fault, but couple hit can't sue$50,000 in medical expenses, and the city is saying, "Yes, it's the officer's fault. But you can't sue. Nyah nyah." Ridiculous. He ran a stop sign without his sirens or lights on. It was not even a real emergency call — he was being called to assist in a vehicle search.Daniel Powell, the only right thing to do is to resign. You're a piece of shit for acting above the law, hurting a couple, and then hiding behind the law after the fact. HYPOCRITE!
All this whining about female circumcision (which is very valid whining), but none about male circumcision. It is not natural to cut parts of your body off [and don't say umbilical cord!]. Especially when the only reason is religious.
And no, it's not about sanitation either. That would be like cutting the tips of your toes off to make it easier to clean between them.
Did you know you lose nerve endings when you're circumcised, so sex doesn't feel as good? Whether you know it or not, your enjoyment has been reduced by ritualistic genital mutilation. It's wrong for women, and it's just as wrong for men.Nice to see someone standing up for this. I'd like to see the practice outlawed. No matter how you try to frame it, any circumcision is non-consensual genital mutilation.

You can buy Cellar of Death right here.
Howsabout we look at one of the DMs Guild Adept Tomb of Annihilation tie-ins? This one is called Cellar of Death, created by James Introcaso.
This adventure is for level one characters (!) and it actually takes place in the Cloakwood over on the Sword Coast. This adventure explains who the lich was that told the Harpers about the Soulmonger at the start of the Tomb of Annihilation book.
This one actually begins with the group creating an NPC that everyone is linked to. Then we get to the intro boxed text and that NPC is dead! Killed by the death curse! Cracked me up.
I think some groups will love this. Each character gives a eulogy. Very funny idea!
The group gets involved in a raid on a lich's tower. The Harpers (a band of heroic adventurers) will attack it while the heroes slip inside and steal the lich's phylactery.
It talks about taking rests. The Harper assault is over an hour? If I was playing through this, I'd assume we've got 15 minutes, tops.
I really like the lich. Her name is Zaldara Cordress, the Duchess of Rot.
- Her face is half-beautiful, half-skull
- Her presence lowers the temperature of the room she's in.
There is a gem chamber that has an effect that I love! This dungeon feels just a little Dungeon Crawl Classic-y, which I like a lot.
Here's a tremendous quote for you: "The ghouls take baths in the blood fountain."
There is a note saying that if the heroes try to go out and help the Harpers, a monster forces the adventurers back down into the cellar. I think it would be better to just have the Harpers yell at them: "What the hell are you doing?!" If the adventurers stay out there, the lich annihilates them.
There is a room with a water trap that I really like, but I don't quite understand where the trapdoor is. It sounds like it is set into the floor. The author has great rules for getting the doors open. He made sure to make it take more than a single die roll to open the sealed doors.
In the treasury, an iron chest sits between two humming pillars. I can just picture players going "uh oh" when they hear that description.
Once the phylactery is obtained, the group will have to contend with a severely injured lich! She only has 1st and 2nd level spells left. Her casting a Melf's acid arrow might off a character.
This is an adventure that you can drop into any campaign. It is not jungle-themed and it can be used in many different ways.
I really appreciate that the author kept it so short. It's 10 pages, plus a map and monster stats. In those 10 pages is a dungeon with 13 rooms, and more. Each room has its own fresh gimmick, described incredibly succinctly. That makes this adventure ideal for DMs, because it is so easy to prepare.
I personally love that you actually rub elbows with a powerful monster in this. Some players might expect her lair to have higher DCs and effects, which could cause some meta-gamey problems.
I notice that, as far as I can tell, it is possible to get the phylactery after passing through just two rooms. At first I balked at this, but then I saw that the heroes have to make their way through the prison, which is potentially five rooms in one.
I would say that the title kind of undersells the content. I'd prefer something like "The Duchess of Rot", as it has a little more spice.
People praise Phandelver often, but I'd run this adventure over the Cragmaw Hideout any day. This dungeon has a heck of a lot of ideas packed into it, it's really easy to prepare, and it seems like it would be a lot of fun to play through.

Welsh, A.J.L. and Griffin, M.J. (2008) Normal values for finger systolic blood pressure in males and females. International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 81 (5), 625-632. (doi:10.1007/s00420-007-0257-1).
Objective: To compare finger systolic blood pressures in males and females and in younger and older persons and provide normal values for all four fingers in younger and older males and females.
Methods: Eighty healthy subjects participated in the study: 20 males and 20 females aged 20–30 years, and 20 males and 20 females aged 55–65 years. Finger systolic blood pressures (FSBPs) were measured using strain-gauge plethysmography following local cooling at 30 and 10°C in accord with International Standard 14835-2. The FSBPs were measured simultaneously in the thumb and the four fingers of the dominant hand and the percentage changes in finger systolic blood pressures (%FSBPs) due to the cold provocation were calculated.
Results: The median finger systolic blood pressures increased with increasing age in both females and males, with the increase highly significant at 30°C but not at 10°C. The %FSBPs were not significantly affected by the age of males, but were significantly lower in older females than younger females. The FSBPs were lower in females than in males at 30°C but there was no significant difference between genders at 10°C. The %FSBPs were higher in younger females than younger males, but only significantly higher in the middle finger and there were no significant differences between the genders in the older age group. There were only minor differences between the four fingers in the FSBPs at 30 and 10°C. The %FSBPs across the four fingers were similar in the younger subjects and in the older females, but varied with finger in the older males.
Conclusion: Although there are some differences in the %FSBPs associated with age, gender, and finger, the differences may be sufficiently small to use a single value criterion when deciding on abnormalities in FSBP associated with cold provocation for persons aged 20–65 years.

- Wood River Single Flute Countersinks
- Brand: Wood River | Category: Drill-Driver Accessories
I had always heard that this style produces a very smooth cut, so I decided to pick some up when I was at Woodcraft. I bought the #6, #8, and #10. It really is amazing how smoothly and effortlessly they cut.
The second picture I uploaded shows just how smooth these things cut (#10 is shown, but the results are typical). On the far left is the Wood River single flute countersink, middle is one from HD (can't remember the brand), and right is from a Ryobi countersink set. Lower board is poplar, upper is walnut. You can pretty clearly see that the single flute is the best, followed by the Ryobi, with the brand-less one in a distant third.Gripes
- I wish they had a 1/4" hex shank, simply for the incredible ease it offers
- If you try to drill too deep (ie counter sink then bore if you wanted to put a plug over the screw hole) the waste exit hole will drop below the work surface and it will clog
Score: 4 stars due to the clogging issue
5 stars otherwise

It looks like the hole does not go all the way to the point. Is it hard to use in hard wood. How about in a portable drill or a drill press. Any difference?

That's a really good point Karson. Since the cutting edge does not go all the way to the tip you need to make sure that you drill the pilot hole first. If you don't drill the hole first it won't work (might be able to force it on the drill press, but why would you want to?). If there is a pilot hole it cut like a hot knife through butter with both the drill press and a cordless drill.

Wow, I wondered about these myself. It seems like there is now something else added to my shop list. (I'm sure my wife will thank you.) Thanks for the review.

It is a much better countersink. Certainly the best I've used. The HF star-shaped ones are terrible!

Isn't it strange that the more cutting edges there are , the worse the hole is.?

I bought a set of these about a month ago after reading several positive reviews. I completely agree that they are the best countersinks I have used. I threw my old star type countersinks away after the first use of the new ones.

Thanks for the review. I need to pick up a set. The flute not going to the tip is a plus as it would make it easier to center in the pilot hole.

After every wedding I have shot, I keep thinking to myself how blessed and lucky I am really to do what I love so much and felt appreciated not only by the bride and groom, but their families and guest as well. I was always taken care of; guests coming up to me to see if I have eaten or drink or if I managed to get some rest and on some occasion when I'm all packed up and ready to go, I was asked to join the party and just have fun. I received different forms of appreciation; thank you card, chocolates, gift favors, bonus…
I get to see places I only dream of going. Thanks to wonderful people like these that believes in me and fly me all the way there just to be part of their wedding day but also get treated more like a friend than a photographer. It is weddings like these that makes me love my job even more.
Francesca and Tarik are high school sweet heart. They had their intimate wedding at Francesca's parents summer home in a very gorgeous little village name Fayence in South of France. What made me smiled so much was that I witnessed close friends and families from different parts of the world came to celebrate this special occasion of Francesca & Tarik and also, helped set up the whole place. The celebrant was from Brazil! How awesome that is?
Francesca & Tarik, thank you so much for this opportunity and faith you had on me and Christine. The food was awesome and so were the desserts! Not only we get to see Fayence but also get to explore Nice and Paris for couple of days. It is a dream come true – Thank You
Photographers: Ruby Yeo & Christine Lim
Excellent collection and one of the most beautiful wedding i have seen captured in images. thanks for sharing
love this piece, the couple look beautiful~

Hi there - this lists some of the known festivals and competitions in Melbourne.
Writers' Festivals and Literary Awards - Entry - eMelbourne - The Encyclopedia of Melbourne Online
I know that Greater Dandenong used to have a large multi-categoried competition, but not sure if it's still running. May be worth giving Greater Dandenong Council a call.
All the best to your friend.

The Highway Safety Committee discussed the traffic count and what is left in the budget for improving roads.
The Housing Authority reviewed vouchers and the investment schedule.
The Land Conservation committee is starting a new program where you can insure your crops. They handled it very well. I agree with what they did because now farmers can have insurance on their crops.

Seventy looks different depending on one's perspective
The young generation thinks old age begins somewhere around 30 years; maybe 40 for the more generous of our youth.
Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones once said, "I'd rather be dead than singing "Satisfaction" when I'm 45."
Well Mick, you will be almost 72 this summer when you are standing on stage at Target Field, the home of the Minnesota Twins, singing "Satisfaction."
If the young generation bemoans turning 30, my generation, the baby boomers, have determined that old age doesn't begin until age 70. The media tells us so. Have you noticed how young the 50- and 60-year-old women appear to be on Viagra and Cialis commercials? For that matter so do the men I suppose, not that I've ever really checked them out.
In reality, we are living longer and looking younger than the parents of our baby boomer generation. They lived much harder lives filled with more physical labor, less relaxation and vacation time and lived in an era that spanned the Dust Bowl years and the Great Depression.
Personally, I never felt old when I turned 40, 50, or 60. I was 64 when I discovered the ravages of old age, courtesy of a car accident that shattered my sternum and cracked my vertebrae. By the time I recovered a full year later, I found myself lying on an operating table at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester with my sternum once again cracked wide open. Unbeknownst to me, I had a hole in my heart since birth, a faulty valve and a couple of plugged arteries in dire need of repair. That recovery took almost two years and by then I found myself approaching the old age mark of 70.
Recently, two of my lifelong buddies turned 70, although neither of them looked, or for that matter acted their age. They are both named Jimmy; one living in Kansas, the other in Aitkin County. Jimmy from Aitkin County got the surprise of his life last Saturday in the form of a birthday party. The "surprise" part of the party was kept secret for six weeks.
I told his children, "Don't to worry; the surprise is safe. After all, it's Jimmy who is the biggest talker in Aitkin County."
When Jimmy walked through the door at Jackson's Hole in Lawler, Minnesota, a room full of his friends and family yelled "Surprise!" Jimmy admitted it was indeed a surprise. He didn't have a clue a party was in the works despite all the pans full of food and drawers of silverware and utensils that were smuggled out of his house the moment he turned his back. Jimmy was literally grinning from ear to ear as he perused the room full of people, some old high school friends he hadn't seen in decades. For many of us, it was old home week. We hadn't gathered in the Lawler/Arthyde area since buying up Tommy Thompson's cheap land back in the 1970s. My wife and I bought a nice wooded 40-acre plot for only $1,800. Unfortunately, Tommy forgot to mention that we were surrounded by what's referred to as Horseshoe Swamp. I had another name for it; "The Mosquito Capitol of the World."
Many of us pulled up stakes in the 1980s and gravitated to nearby communities such as Moose Lake, McGregor and Finlayson. It was at Lawler where we once again met last Saturday and reminisced about the old days of "Holler in Lawler" and the years we spent out in Beaver Township raising our kids. But mostly we spent the day celebrating with Jimmy, the good friend of everyone, on his 70th birthday.
By seven p.m. the old-timers were heading for home. We had sipped our two drink limit, the strongest thing smoked was a few Camel cigarettes and the only sign of drugs were Aspercreme and Tums.
I guess we'll cop to 70 as the new standard for "old" although I prefer to stick with the old adage, "You are only as old as you feel."

I recently attended the exhibition of two pieces, both of which relied on improvisation to, in one case, create and, in the other case, extend the music and sonic textures which were made during the performance.
The first of the two performances was in one of Wednesday's classes when different groups were asked to play Dr Paul Stapleton's wonderful and weird modular instrument(s). The other was a performance by a band called Bluetree.
The first performance was intriguing because it moved the impromptu performers out of their normal sphere of instrumentation. As a percussionist, I felt quite at home with the modular nature of the instrument because, especially within an orchestral context, a percussionist can be asked to play many instruments within a piece. The most interesting thing about the performance was the way in which the performers were able to interpret not only the bizarre instrument, or the different approaches to playing, but mainly their contextual sensitivity.
Bearing in mind that none of the performers had a previous technical foothold on the instrument, the spontaneity of what ensued was probably the piece's greatest strength, and in some instances, also its weakness. Where two players were bowing the stringed feet of the instrument, at times there was not only a tonal, but also a significant dynamic congruity, where the bowing and "counter-bowing" formed a sonic floor upon which the piece evolved.
By stark comparison, Bluetree's performance contained fairly rigidly structured songs, but with scope for improvised interpretations. At the end of their set, the six band members began an improvised section wherein each member of the group was able to participate in a "musical conversation". Using more structured methods of improvisation, such as call and response, imitation or sequence, but also allowing free reign, their improvisation was just as valid as a piece with no pre-defined structure.
Both approaches to improvisation call upon a technical proficiency (at least to a moderate degree) but also rely on the performer's willingness to experiment. Arguably, the first performance allowed, nay demanded experimentation on the part of the performer, which allowed a new sonic style to evolve. The metallic timbre of the instrument as a whole provided, for me, a new sound which was unlike any other form of commerical music, or even music which is improvised on conventional instruments.
In both performances, the musicians were very aware of the other sounds or melodies being woven together. I find that this allows the audience to engage more with the music, as I struggle to interpret music which is played without congruity and a team dynamic.
By way of conclusion, I ask a question: Is a structured improvisation actually improvisation? Does a repeated phrase (for example) not, in essence, replace true improvisation, or can these musical elements which have previously shaped Western music still play an important part in improvised performances? I argue that improvisation is more about the music you feel, than any idealistic "genre" of musical experimentation.

Daily Thoughts 9/22/2010 (Clementine, Audiobooks)
Poster "The camp library is yours - Read to win the war. You will find popular books for fighting men in the recreational buildings and at other points in this camp. Free. No red tape. Open every day. Good reading will help you advance. Library War Service, American Library Association." 1917 Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, Washington, D.C. 20540 USA C.B. Falls / American Library Association
Daily Thoughts 9/22/2010
I finished reading Pattern Recognition by William Gibson this morning. I will be waiting for Spook Country to come in soon.
We had a gentleman from Tantor Media audiobooks come to discuss his books. We sometimes buy MP3 CDs, we are slowly getting them, many of the older cd players before 2005 can't play them, so we have to be careful getting them. He also showed me a new format for classic literature. It is a combined PDF file of a book on cd and cd audiobook. This would be quite useful for assignment lists for the schools. They of course dropped off a few samples. One of them was John Buchan, The Thirty Nine Steps.
We are also going to be doing more promotion focused on our collection tied in with programming. This should be interesting.
The book, The Glamour of Grammar A Guide To The Magic and Mystery of Practical English by Roy Peter Clark came in for me to read today.
Today is anothe multi-event day at the library. We had a class on Internet Marketing from the city Business Expo this afternoon. One of my colleagues set up a cart of material for the Business Expo; flyers, bookmarks, and a selection of new books. This evening we had the Womens Enterprise Development Center in the community room, and a computer class for Microsoft Publisher in the computer lab. It takes a little patience to make sure everything is set up and ready before the people come. A lot of it is meeting the people at the door and being polite while things are setup/
On the train home, I read Clementine by Cherie Priest it is a steampunk novel set during the American civil war. It is very much the classic chase novel, where the hero wants something that has been taken from them and is out to get it back. This makes both the writing and reading very fast paced. What is interesting to me is the setting, I am seeing both gaslight fantasy and steampunk westerns expanding more into the old west setting. It seems like writers are seeking to expand the steampunk and gaslight genre outside of Victorian England into other parts of the world. It would be interesting to see some steampunk set in Russia or France.

Vacations are wonderful! Especially the ones that find you on a beautiful beach in Mazatlan, Mexico. This was my first time in Mexico and I must say that I don't think I could have asked for a better experience to introduce me to the best this country has to offer. The Inn at Mazatlan was a great place to stay. It was right on the beach near peddlers of fresh oysters and also close to a main street where many wonderful kinds of tacos could be found to eat. For those who aren't adventurous, the hotel's on-site restaurant offered high quality food, but I guarantee if you didn't try the locals' quesadillas al Pastor, Sinaloa style ceviche, or smoked Marlin tacos, you were missing out!
Besides eating tacos, exploring Mazatlan's old town, and relaxing on the beach, visiting the hotel's Paradise Spa was definitely on the agenda. After all, what's a vacation without a little professional pampering? I was delighted to find that the prices for spa services were very reasonable! They offered me a package that included a massage, manicure, and pedicure which I immediately snatched up. A woman named Cuca did all three starting with the massage which was wonderful. Often when I visit a spa, I don't book a massage because they can tend to be too light and "foofy." Not Cuca's! She gave a nice firm and very thorough massage that seemed longer than the 50 minutes allotted. When my body was sufficiently "noodled out," I sat down in my robe for my manicure and pedicure. My fingers looked all neat and clean and my toenails shimmered a bright coral color when she was finished. What a fabulous afternoon!
After the good experience I had with the massage package, I couldn't resist booking the Mayan Chocolate Therapy for the next day. Who wouldn't want to be covered in chocolate from head to toe? My friend Kristen(pictured above) and I arrived together, she for the massage/manicure/pedicure experience and I for the chocolatey body wrap and we were escorted to the steam room where we relaxed and chatted while our pores opened up in preparation for the pampering. Then it was on to our separate treatment rooms where we would experience true bliss.
My treatment started with an ex-foliating rub-down where the rich chocolate aromas began. My skin tingled with delight and I deeply inhaled to enjoy the sweet smell. When my skin was properly buffed, I was instructed to hop into the shower to rinse off. Then the real fun began. Cuca began painting my body with thick, dark brown chocolate. When hardly any white patches remained, she wrapped me up in a heating cocoon of blankets to allow the chocolate to absorb into my skin. She gave me a nice scalp massage before leaving me for a while to relish my choco-tranquility. This was all incredibly relaxing and I found myself dozing off into a dream-like state. Another shower to rinse the chocolate off was then followed by a nice massage done with a chocolate/hazelnut scented lotion. Total treatment time: 90 minutes.
So why would chocolate be good for the skin? Well there are two reasons. First, chocolate has moisturizing properties that soften the skin. This is most likely due to the cocoa butter. Second, the anti-oxidants in chocolate are great for fighting free-radicals and may result in smoothing wrinkles. My favorite reason to be covered in chocolate is that I get to smell like dessert for the rest of the day. Yum!
I would certainly recommend the Paradise Spa at the Inn at Mazatlan to anyone who enjoys such indulgences. They were friendly, clean, professional, and offered an incredible value! I have spent a lot more for less in other spas and felt that the quality of the experience in Mexico surpassed some the more expensive treatments I have received here in the States. I am grateful to the staff for being a part of what was a wonderful Mexican vacation and I hope to visit again soon!

Thank you Askganesha.com so much for helping me out. I was going through a bad time and pundit told me that nazar or evil eye is the cause of my problem.

I ordered Lord Sai puja to be done for me by askganesha.com as I and my husband were facing some problems in our married life. It was actually effective and vanished our problems in only a few days. It actually works.

What Are You Doing to Live Awesome Today?
I've got a regular post coming soon, but I'm also kicking off something different this morning. Isn't that what new beginnings are for?
For 2018, I'll be adding something new to the daily line-up on Mark's Daily Apple—a daily takeaway post before the main article each weekday. For those who want a quick tip, simple target, or motivation boost to start your day, this is it.
Sometimes a salient quote, sometimes a fitness strategy, nutrition bite, or personal challenge, each day you'll find something different—all to help you "Live Awesome" today.
Today's takeaway is a challenge….
"If you want to lift yourself up, lift someone else up." — Booker T. Washington
New Year resolutions are often self-focused. It's natural, of course. The only person we can or should change is the one in the mirror. But we're an innately social species that thrives on collaboration as well as altruism—and we find a practical, immediate kickback to those instincts. There's something remarkably impactful about supporting someone else in his/her goal. What you offer fuels your own endeavor. So, choose one way you'll encourage or help someone else this year. Support folks in the Mark's Daily Apple Facebook Group or the Keto Reset Group. Coach someone. Be a gym partner. Send a message to someone you know needs it this morning. Put awesome energy out there, and see it expand in your own life.
There's more to come this morning (including a giveaway), so stay tuned. In the meantime, I'd love to hear what you'd like to see in the daily takeaway posts. Grok on, everybody.

Back To Life, Back To Reality
As I've written about before, I don't really set serious New Year's Resolutions. I prefer intentions and making little changes that add up. I also love setting the tone of the year with a Word Of The Year. I'm working on that post today! So, while I don't set major goals and then feel down if I don't stick to them, I do love the camaraderie of everyone else getting pumped for change. It's just easier to be healthy when everyone else is talking about it too. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals is easier this month than in the previous three! Join me in the motivation – ask me how I'm doing and I'll share the same. All of us should have the goal to FEEL our best, no matter what path we take to get there.
I always feel good after having a smoothie for breakfast. This smoothie bowl was made with tropical fruit, Vega Chai, frozen bananas, and milk. On top I sprinkled granola and a peanut butter drizzle.
You know what else makes me feel great? Grapefruit! (Or really any citrus this time of year.) I think the trick is the combo of vitamin C and hydration! I eat my grapefruits just like my oranges – either sliced or peeled in segments. Little tart never hurt nobody!
Mazey and I say hi from the gym! We've both had to do indoor workouts for the past few weeks. It's just too cold for bike riding or outdoor running. At least all of our friends are there.

From WestCoast Lighting Insider:
"As the LED market peaks over the next few years, lighting maintenance companies could be retrofitted right out of the market... Erik Ennen, facility services manager at the nonprofit Center for Energy and Environment, sees lighting maintenance companies in a unique position to bring together 'two customers.'
Management, particularly health and safety and marketing managers, want a maintenance contract to keep the lights on. Operations and energy engineers are looking at ways to monitor usage and save electricity ... 'A lot of people think, well, there shouldn't be any issues in the [first] 5 years because they have a 5 year warranty,' Ennen said. But you need a conscientious contractor to 'hold the manufacturer's feet to the fire for you' when failures do happen ..."

Will the two of them be strong enough to fight for their newfound love – and their lives?
About DALIR'S SALVATION
Ari is looking to live a normal life. But after she hits her head, normal is no longer an option. A mysterious, rugged man appears, whom only she can see…each night he fulfills her fantasies and leavers her begging for more. She's sure he's a figment of her imagination – until she finds o, to truly be with him, Ari will have to embrace the parts of herself she's been desperately keeping at bay. Dalir's been burned by love before, yet he can't resist Ari's beauty and charm. And all it takes is one kiss to spark nights of passion. But there's danger on the horizon that only Dalir and his friends in the band Thane's Redemption can deal with. And the longer he stays with Ari, the greater the peril to them both. Will the two of them be strong enough to fight for their newfound love – and their lives?
When I read the synopsis of this book, it definitely reminded of The Mediator series by Meg Cabot with the whole seeing someone that no one else can see and falling for him. I was so excited to read this one and watch the characters fall in love.
Ari has always had an eery intuition when it came to people, but she's been trying to live as normal a life as possible. When she hits her head at work, though, a mysterious and attractive man starts showing up everywhere, including her bedroom. Dalir has lost a lot in his lifetime and he isn't ready to lose again, so he tries to keep his distance from Ari. But their attraction is undeniable and he finds himself giving into the last person he should be with…
Going into this book, I actually had no idea it was part of a series, so I think I missed out on a lot because of that. I wasn't knowledgable on this fantasy world our characters were from, so a lot of this book was quite confusing for me. I wasn't able to fully grasp Dalir's past or powers, which I think diminished my enjoyment of this story on that aspect. Don't get me wrong, the romance was great and there was some serious heat between Dalir and Ari, but I was too lost when it came to the world to fully enjoy this one. That being said, though, I had some issues with the pacing and how quickly some climactic events passed while more mellow scenes dragged on. I wanted more of the action and fantasy, specifically regarding Ari's character, and less of the explaining and waiting around for something to actually happen.
While it was definitely my fault for not reading the previous books in the series (I wish Goodreads had let me know!), Dalir's Salvation was still an enjoyable read. There was romance, mystery, and some suspenseful moments that kept me on the edge of my seat. I'm definitely interested in this world and the couples I met in this book, so I want to pick up the previous books in this series and see what this series is all about.
Ari slipped her keys into the large, beige purse hanging on her shoulder. She released an exasperated exhale. "I don't need a babysitter."
The hell she didn't. She should have realized her limitations and let someone else climb the ladder for what she needed.
"If it makes you feel any better, you're doing me a favor." Brooke laid her backpack on the yellow couch. "I have an important paper to work on for my history class. My roommate doesn't understand the definition of quiet, and I hate studying late at the campus library on weekends. Besides that, Celine would kill me if I didn't take care of you." The twenty-two-year-old, college junior smiled as she flipped her brown hair. "I'm staying."
"So am I." Dalir stood in front of Ari.
Her jaw tightened as she gave him a withering stare. "In that case, you're welcome to stay, Brooke. I'll make up the guest bedroom."
"No need. Just tell me where to find a pillow and blanket. I can crash out on the couch. Not that I'll be getting much sleep. I have a lot to do." Brooke straightened the hem of her white T-shirt over the waist of her skinny jeans. She shooed Ari toward the hallway. "I'll work on dinner while you get cleaned up."
"I didn't make it to the store this week. Just order pizza. The menu is on the side of the fridge." Ari stalked away. The mid-thigh length of her dress and her high heels emphasized Ari's toned legs. Her hips swayed with every step.
Awareness flared. Dalir tamped it down. He needed to know what was going on. She had to stop blowing him off.
He phased down the hall and blocked her path into the bedroom. "It won't work. I know you can hear and see me, Little One. Talk to me."
Ari maneuvered past him. The chain shoulder strap on her purse jangled when she dropped it on top of the natural wood dresser. She slammed the door. "One. You do not boss me around. Two. I got stuffed into a space the size of a soda can because I talked to you, so as far as I'm concerned, we're done communicating. And three," she advanced on him, "call me Little One again and you'll regret it."
Difficult. Mouthy. She was definitely friends with Lauren and Celine.
"I'm not leaving, Little One, until I get answers."
She socked him in the stomach.
Caught off guard, Dalir hissed out a short breath. "You think you can take me?"
She glared up at him. "Say it again and find out." One good junk punch and you'll drop to your knees.
Her thought stung like a phantom slap to the cheek. He backed her up against the edge of the dresser.
The mirror shook. Perfume bottles rattled.
He planted his palms on either side of her. "I don't think so."
She lifted her chin. Too bad he's such a jerk. Her thoughts grew louder in his mind. Look at all those muscles. I'm going with figment of my imagination over ghost. I hit my head. That makes better sense. Doesn't it? Is it weird for me to be attracted to a figment of my imagination? Wait. What am I doing fighting with him in the first place? He's my fantasy. I should be stripping him naked and getting my hands on all that goodness. What should I call him? Yummy should definitely be his middle name.
He caught a view of her conjured up image of him, shirtless, and her yanking down is zipper. Lust snaked through him. "Be careful what you wish for."
She snickered. "You wish you knew what I wanted."

About THANE'S REDEMPTION:
The one night she'll want to remember, she'll be forced to forget.
It's been almost a year since Celine's fiancé's death and she's still struggling to move on. But when she meets Thane, the super hot lead singer of Thane's Redemption, she finds her desire reawakening, and her heart opening. Soon one kiss leads them straight into a night of heated passion…
It's been almost a year since Celine's fiancé's death and she's still struggling to move on. But when she meets Thane, the super hot lead singer of Thane's Redemption, she finds her desire reawakening, and her heart opening. Soon one kiss leads them straight into a night of heated passion…
Thane's unexpected connection with Celine only leaves him wanting more of her—but his life makes it impossible. For Thane's Redemption is just a cover for a deeper secret: A former Army Ranger presumed dead, Thane is really a time-traveling, covert operative charged with saving the world from disaster. Each jump through time forces those around him to forget he ever existed—and Celine would be no exception. But can time work in their favor to give them a second chance at love? Or will a choice Thane makes in the future put Celine in mortal danger?...

About REID'S DELIVERANCE:
Lauren isn't looking for love when she spends a scintillating night with Reid, the sexy keyboardist of Thane's Redemption. While their passion may be off the charts, her trust issues--and Reid's secret life as a time-traveling covert agent--makes any chance for a relationship impossible.
When operatives involved in a mysterious project begin dying, Reid defies orders and travels alone into the future to find the cause. But when things go dangerously awry, it takes all of his strength to get himself back to safety--and directly onto Lauren's doorstep. While neither of them remembers their night of passion, their intense connection leads Lauren to help him. But as Reid's memories reignite, will he be forced to sacrifice everything to finish his mission--including the woman he loves?

Jocelyn Downie: Clarity Needed on Medical Aid in Dying
Since Canada's medical assistance in dying law received royal assent in June 2016, more than 2000 people have died with the help of a doctor. However, the ambiguity of the law's eligibility criterion – requiring that "natural death has become reasonably foreseeable" – has come under considerable criticism. In an article published on 23 April 2018 by The Conversation Canada, 2015 Foundation fellow Jocelyn Downie and co-author Jennifer Chandler claimed that individuals "with grievous and irremediable conditions causing intolerable suffering" needed more clarity on the legislation's meaning and implementation. Only in Nova Scotia have physicians and surgeons successfully clarified the "reasonably foreseeable" criterion; Downie and Chandler urged that regulators and health professionals in Canada as a whole now follow Nova Scotia's lead in order to "serve and protect the public interest."
Jocelyn Downie is a 2015 Foundation fellow and a professor in the Faculties of Law and Medicine at Dalhousie University. Read her article here.

The following was left as a comment on our article "'New Fathers 4 Justice' Member Possibly Not Doing Great Things for Fathers or Justice". It is from the subject of the story, Matthew Starmore. He felt that he wasn't given a fair shake here, or in many media outlets. As Editor-in-Chief of 8BitDad, I will defend our site by saying that in short blurb stories such as the one linked above, we only offer quick summaries and links to outside news. We put no guarantees on other peoples' information, and when posting links, they are offered as-is.
So, just as we offered the BBC's article "at face value", so too shall we offer Matthew Starmore's response, after the jump. Please excuse our uncharacteristic lack of humorous pictures, as they don't fit the story's tone.
In across-the-pond legal news: Matthew Starmore, a Welsh dude working for "New Fathers 4 Justice," (whose members have been arrested multiple times in superhero costumes) is currently on trial …

Morning, I'm currently sitting here, in my bra and jeans waiting for my t-shirt to come out of the tumble dryer. It has a few creases and i can't be arsed to iron it (don't tut at me mum)
But that would also mean going to the car, getting the new iron and ironing board out that Dan bought JUST to iron his shirts for this weekend, which he didn't do.
Dan has left for his stag do this weekend, a year early but what the hell. We were meant to be getting married 30TH September this year, but decided to push it back a year. The hens and stags have already been booked, so was pointless people losing out on money.
Now I'm home with my kids most of the time, on my own, but i feel anxious about this weekend. Maybe because I'm supposed to be working, look after the boys and not worry about Dan. I have had a word with my darling brother about covering this weekend for me and i will do the next two – lets see if he does it for me.
I'm also anxious because i normally have someone i can run to if i am having a crap day. First ones being:
Mum and Dad – they now live in Spain, so i am unable to see them.
Casey and Calli – my brother and might as well be wife, they are also in spain this week so it's a no to them
Reiss and Billie – my brother and his also might as well be wife, i am seeing them Saturday for a nice day out (hoping the weather stays nice).
But i do feel anxious, i don't know why.. but i do. I've never been left in the house on my own before so thats something new, i've always had Dan for when I've had a bad day and i need daddy's intervention, which the kids actually listen to. I take my hat off to single mums, i don't know how you do it. I suppose, when you are in a situation you do just get on with it and make it work. You have to.
So yea, Dan, enjoy your stag do. Please don't mix your drinks and ruin it for yourself you twat. I am apparently getting updates and photos, so when i do, so will you.
Going to enjoy this rare moments peace and drink my hot cup of tea.. this is why i get up early. It's the little things.
Enjoy your Friday, blog later X
