Forty percent of condoms are purchased by women, yet 70 percent of women feel uncomfortable buying them. Meika Hollender set out to change that with her sustainable and vagina-friendly condom company Sustain. Since launching Sustain condoms in 2014, she's done more than that. Not only has Hollender created a condom that appeals to women, she's made sexual health in general more approachable. Sustain now makes organic lube and safe tampons, and Hollender just released her book, Get on Top of Your Pleasure, Sexuality, and Wellness.
The first chapter is called Getting to Know Your Vagina and includes diagrams.
Hollender's book provides the sex education young women in America need. The first chapter is called Getting to Know Your Vagina and includes various no-nonsense diagrams. The book also addresses periods, self-pleasure, birth control options — and sex, of course. Hollender believes that more open conversations around these topics will lead people toward better sexual wellness products. But she also hopes it will help close the "pleasure gap," aka the fact that male partners have orgasms way more than their female partners during sex.
Let's Talk About Sex
Hollender isn't alone in her quest to help women have better sex. The Assembly member and certified sex coach Myisha Battle works with women and couples to keep this conversation going and improve their sex and dating lives. She also has a sex-positive podcast, called Down for Whatever. Battle's covered topics like erotic fitness and coming out.
Members recently got a chance to ask Hollender and Battle their own sex questions at an event in the clubhouse. Being San Francisco, questions included:
- What apps will help spice up my sex life? There aren't many, but try reading erotica.
- What is feminist porn? It's high-production porn often made by women with a focus on gender equality and fair pay for actors. (Check out the Feminist Porn Awards for ideas.)
- Can you tell me more about sex meditation? Mindfulness is key to enjoying sex.
Things got more personal, too. People asked for advice on how to deal with a partner's fetish or low libido. The main takeaway: good communication (and possibly lube) can help resolve many sexual dilemmas.
The road to closing the pleasure gap and having better sex will be long — but exciting. And it starts with each of us. In order to figure out what gives us pleasure, we need to experiment with ourselves. As Hollender says, self love is self care.

Key Person Insurance
A business may consider its investments, properties and equipment as assets, but what about its employees – key employees in particular?
A key employee is an individual who possesses certain skills or abilities that are crucial to the organization and its operations. If this individual were to pass way, the organization could incur a loss in profits, extra costs to hire and train someone to replace the key employee, and other negative financial or operational consequences. Key person insurance can be used to help offset the untimely death.
The most common life insurance product used for key person life insurance is term. Term life insurance provides coverage on an insured for a specific period of time, generally 10, 20 or 30 years.
In a typical scenario, the key employee would be the insured on the policy, while the organization would be the owner, payer and beneficiary of the policy. This way, if the insured passes away, the organization would receive the death benefit proceeds.
Term is most commonly used because there is no cash value accumulation, so therefore the premium for higher face values is more affordable than with permanent insurance such as whole life or universal life. The ability to cover a key employee for the duration of their employment, for a substantial amount of coverage at an affordable premium, makes term insurance a great option for this particular type of insurance. Permanent insurance may also be used for key employees. The organization could transfer ownership of the policy to the key person upon retirement, or surrender the policy for the cash value to reimburse the company for premium payments, or even give it to the employee as part of their retirement package.

Europe beckons.. and I will go!
Last year in March, I blogged about wanting to to go Europe.
Europe has always charmed me with it's culture, it's people, the food (especially the food) and the way people think. It might not be the best place on earth, but I do like it quiet a bit.
Having had a great exprience during my exchange days in Denmark, I have decided to go back to Europe for further studies. I will be studying Sound and Vibration, at the Chalmers University in Goteborg, Sweden.
I've always loved to study. My days at NUS were some of the best till then. I am hoping to learn and explore even more things in another area of my interest while I am there in Sweden. Hopefully it will open many news avenues and give me many new opportunies in the next few years.
So yes, a new chapter to my life will start in about a month's time. It's a two year course and so I'll be Goteborg for next two years… :)
P.S. If you're gonna be in that part of the world, just drop me an email/im and we can surely meetup.. :)

Car Allowance Calculator - How Much Will I Receive?
If you're currently deciding between taking the company car or the car allowance cash option on offer with your new job, you're probably weighing up the pros and cons and trying to figure out how exactly company car tax works. Before you make a decision, it's important that you understand how a company car allowance is calculated.
For many, taking the car allowance is just too tempting to refuse. But how much money will you get towards your current car/new car in your cash option bonus?
In this blog Tim Warr of Warr & Co Accountants highlights the usual process a company goes through when calculating their cash option car leasing allowance.
How Much Will I Get if I Take the Car Allowance Cash Option?
There is no set amount you might be offered if you want to take the car allowance cash option. Your company may have several tiers of monthly allowance, and these could depend on the following factors:
- Expected business mileage
- The average cost of maintaining a vehicle in your area (average insurance and repair costs could factor into this)
- The current costs (if any) of maintaining a company fleet car
- Seniority
We've seen monthly car allowances that range from £150 per month all the way up to £1,000 per month.
The amount offered to you will be detailed in your car allowance offer as part of your benefit package, and you should be able to request a break-down of the calculation for your reference.
Can I Negotiate for More?
Absolutely, it's your benefit package so why not? Especially if you take a look at the breakdown of costs and think that you'll cover more miles than expected.
There should also be the option to re-negotiate should your job role change and therefore your business mileage increase. However, be aware that this is a door that swings both ways, you might end up reducing your allowance should your job role change meaning you drive less.
Do I Have To Use 100% Of The Allowance In Order To Qualify?
This depends on your employer, but generally the case is that it's your allowance to spend how you will. Remember that you will be taxed on it, so be careful what you ask for.
Do You Have Any Advice For Businesses Offering The Car Allowance Cash Option?
Many businesses are beginning to offer the cash option car allowance as it's often preferable for the company car option for both businesses and employees.
Offering the car allowance option instead of company cars can benefit a business in the following ways:
- Less administrative burden
- Fewer assets to secure and insure
- No involvement with repair work or buying and selling
When calculating how much you will offer for an employees car allowance you should discuss expected annual mileage with the employee's department and any specific vehicle requirements, for example, they might require a spacious four door if the employee is likely to entertain clients.
The requirements may result in a higher monthly allowance being necessary to help represent your company in its best light.

WATCHING THE DTEC-TIVES (some text hidden)
By Jonathan Crouch
Honda hasn't exactly been at the forefront of diesel engine development. But the tenth generation Civic hatch gets a pretty advanced 1.6-litre oil burner. Jonathan Crouch reports on the lightly revised version of this model.
Ten Second Reviewword count: 49
The improved Honda Civic 1.6 i-DTEC might just be the Honda diesel you've been waiting years and years for. With 120PS under its belt, it's got a bit about it, but will return up to 62.8mpg (WLTP) and up to 93g/km (NEDC) - pretty good for a family hatch.
Backgroundword count: 165
It took Honda an awful long time to get enthusiastic about the idea of diesel power. In fact, the 1.6-litre i-DTEC unit we're going to look at here powering this tenth generation Civic is actually only the second diesel the company has ever designed for the European market. It's been significantly improved for use in this tenth generation Civic model. The enhancements include a reduction in cylinder friction, thanks to 'super plateau honing' of the bores to enable smoother piston movement. The 1,597cc engine uses the same advanced Bosch fuel injection system as before, and features a small, high-efficiency turbocharger, a low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation system and a high-intake flow, high-swirl cylinder head port. A high-strength, lightweight slender crankshaft and all-aluminium, open-deck, high-pressure, die-cast engine block minimise the engine's weight. For the new i-DTEC, additional cast ribs have been added to the cylinder block to increase structural rigidity and, consequently, improve the management of noise, vibration and harshness. It all sounds quite promising doesn't it?
Driving Experienceword count: 229
This 1.6-litre diesel has been lightly revised in recent times but remains designed to offer high performance and low emissions, going about its job in a very Honda way. For a start, it's extremely small and light for a diesel lump. It makes 120PS at 4000rpm, which is impressive enough, but perhaps more interesting is the 300Nm of torque it can develop at just 2,000rpm. The engine's built in Swindon and designed for the European market. As with the petrol Civic variants, this 10th generation model gets a properly sophisticated suspension package. This model cruises over potholes its direct predecessors would have crashed through and does so with the demeanour of a much larger, more luxurious model. Of equal importance are the changes made to the structure of this MK10 model, all enabled by a significantly larger platform that's a full 52% stiffer than the previous generation chassis and positioned 10mm lower to the ground to improve the centre of gravity. All that's simply got to make a significant difference and sure enough, the grip and body control you get with this Civic is a significant improvement over what was served up before, further contributing to the 'big car' feel we referenced earlier. The steering's direct and responsive too, though lacks the final 'enth' of feel that sets a rival Ford Focus apart from its rivals in this regard.

Dental Cleaning Overview
Even if you are brushing and flossing your teeth perfectly at home, it is still important to get a professional dental cleaning at Natalie Scarmato, D.D.S. twice a year. Using state-of-the-art tools, a bi-annual professional dental cleaning removes plaque and tartar that has built up while polishing the enamel for a brighter, healthier smile. During your cleaning, you can get tips on caring for your teeth at home and learn if there are any areas that need special attention. A professional dental cleaning will give dentist Dr. Natalie Scarmato the opportunity to identify any problem areas in the mouth that might require treatment. Getting a professional dental cleaning is an important part of maintaining your oral health so schedule an appointment for yourself and your family at our New York, NY office in Greenwich Village.
Best Candidates for Dental Cleaning
The American Dental Association (ADA) suggests people schedule professional dental cleanings twice a year. Babies should get their first dental exam before their first birthday and after that, Dr. Scarmato will help you determine when your child is ready for their next dental appointment. A professional cleaning can prevent cavities since plaque buildup, the biggest cause of tooth decay, is removed. A cleaning will also address tartar and stains on the enamel. If you'd like to brighten your smile, freshen your breath, boost your health, and save money in the long run, schedule a cleaning for yourself and every member of your family at Natalie Scarmato, D.D.S.
What To Expect with Dental Cleaning
A professional cleaning starts by removing the plaque and tartar that have built up on your teeth, which can be difficult to treat on your own no matter how often you brush and floss. Special instruments are used to carefully scale buildup without harming the tooth. First, an ultrasonic device addresses bigger chunks of tartar and plaque with high-speed vibrations and a lubricating mist. Then, handheld instruments like a curette or scaler will be used to remove smaller pieces. Each tooth needs to be individually scaled to get all the tartar and plaque. Once the teeth have been cleaned, the enamel will be polished to remove stains and strengthen the teeth. If needed or requested, a fluoride treatment can be performed after the cleaning.
Dental Cleaning Follow-Up
Dr. Scarmato may suggest cleanings more frequently for some patients with concerns like gum disease. During your cleaning, Dr. Scarmato can help you develop a good home oral care routine by demonstrating techniques or recommending products that will address your specific concerns. These can be very beneficial for your teeth, overall health, and wallet so make sure you schedule and go to your dental cleanings at Natalie Scarmato, D.D.S.
Dental Cleaning Insurance Coverage
A professional dental cleaning is considered a preventive procedure so it is usually covered by dental insurance. Our office will contact your insurance company to determine your specific coverage and then calculate any out-of-pocket costs. If you do not have dental insurance, please talk to Dr. Scarmato about different payments we accept, including medical financing.
Plan Your Procedure
Professional Dental Cleaning
Keep your smile healthy and bright with dental cleanings twice a year at Natalie Scarmato, D.D.S. in New York, NY. Dr. Scarmato works with her patients to improve their oral and overall health with professional cleanings to remove built-up tartar and plaque. As an important part of a proactive dental care plan, a professional cleaning can save you and your family from a lot of trouble and expensive treatments later. Contact our front office in Greenwich Village to schedule a cleaning for yourself and your family.

I wanted to write a light piece today, but the words did not come. I could not think of anything funny. Nothing funny happened to me. I did not witness anything funny.
Nothing seemed funny. Or slightly amusing.
All I could think about was the horrific Vegas massacre. There is nothing funny about being killed. About people injured. About people scared. About people forever losing a sense of security and safety. Safety and Happiness – what our leaders are supposed to provide citizens. Says so in the Declaration of Independence.
Our leaders are failing us.
I could enumerate an alphabetical list of mass shootings, beginning with an Amish schoolhouse in Lancaster County PA and a theater in Aurora Colorado, a university in Blacksburg and a church in Charleston…and on and on and on.
People born in the U.S. and immigrants and the mentally ill and teenagers and people fired from a job and the poor and the rich and the middle class…all kinds of people shoot other people for a variety of reasons.
The common denominator?
I think about the politicians who tell us to pray for survivors and the wounded and families of victims, but who refuse to discuss the real reason these events happen.
In Vegas one man got his hands on guns. Lots of them. Semi-automatic, automatic, devices allowing guns to shoot more bullets in a shorter period of time.
Do you think the politicians refusing to discuss gun control sleep soundly at night? Do you think they in any way connect the money they receive from the NRA with their passionate defense of guns? Do they truly believe easy access to guns has nothing to do with the epidemic of shootings in this country?
Statistics don't mean anything to the powers that be. Ignore the number of shootings, ignore the numbers killed and injured, ignore the number of guns stockpiled in peoples' homes. I do not know anyone that owns a gun or two or three and belongs to a militia. That part of the Second Amendment - A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State - is another detail gun advocates choose to ignore.
Millions of dollars spent on propaganda wins believers. It is OK for politicians to work hard establishing ways to prevent people from voting – a right guaranteed to all citizens in the 15th Amendment to the Constitution.
But ratifying gun control to make it a wee bit harder for anyone to arbitrarily kill innocents? Well, no. Gun rights apparently trump other rights. Like the right to life. And the right to the pursuit of happiness. Dead people can't pursue anything. How about free speech? Dead people don't speak. Vote? Dead people don't vote.
Why are so many powerful people shortsighted and greedy, selfish and inconsiderate of others?
Does anyone benefit from mass shootings? Gun manufacturers and gun dealers. Following a bloodbath folks dash into gun shops to purchase guns, worried their right to buy guns will be limited in the future. So manufacturers make more guns and donate more money to politicians via the NRA, ensuring gun control does not become reality.
It's the economy, stupid.
I have spoken. Or rather, written. My next post will be upbeat (hopefully). I am sure something funny or cute or humorous and amusing will happen to me. Or I will witness a funny incident.
Life is a drama of tragedy and comedy.
You should learn to enjoy the comic episodes a little more.

Last week saw a landmark in the development of Ntrance. The second Ntrance clinic opened its doors for business.
Our son Daniel, having successfully completed his training and trialled his skills and techniques among his large circle of friends and acquaintances in Wellington, has now successfully treated his first paying clients. His clinic is located in Karori and is trading under the name of Capital Ntrance.
I copy below the article that was published in the Independent Herald. Capital Ntrance will be using the same, highly effective, joint hypno- and electro- therapy Ntrance procedure that we have pioneered in Blenheim.
It is Ntrance's long-term ambition to gain official recognition of the effectiveness of its procedure from the Ministry of Health and the world of orthodox medical practitioners. We know that we could save some medical patients unduly prolonged suffering and, at the same time, save the health service considerable costs. All that needs to happen is that, for certain conditions and certain patients, our therapies should be the first, rather than as they so often are, the last resort for treatment.
To demonstrate this effectiveness, we need to build a nation-wide network of equally competent practitioners using the same procedures with the same successful results. To that end, we hope that
the Karori clinic will be the first of many clones.

Georgia Gwinnett junior Cassidy Littlefield was named an NAIA Softball First-Team All-American, the NAIA revealed Thursday night.
The first baseman from Slocomb, Ala., was one of just six infielders in the nation to be named to the first team and stands as the Grizzlies' first-ever softball All-American.
Littlefield was second in the nation this season with 1.80 hits per game and ranked among the nation's top 10 players in 11 different offensive categories.
She batted .474 on the season, leading the Grizzlies with 90 hits, nine triples, seven home runs and 62 runs scored. She also stole a team-high 47 bases in 53 attempts, slugged .721 and struck out just eight times in 190 at bats.
The junior helped the Grizzlies to a 39-10-1 record as they picked up their first votes in the NAIA Softball Coaches' Top 25 Poll.
"This is an incredible honor and I am so proud to see Cassidy earn recognition for her hard work," GGC head coach Kat Ihlenburg said. "She had a phenomenal season. She is a tremendous team player who loves doing her part to see Grizzly Softball succeed. We are very excited for her."
Littlefield had a 14-game hitting streak during the season, homering in three straight games. In the month of April alone, she went on a tear with 15 multi-hit games, 32 runs scored and 30 RBIs in just 18 contests.
She was named Co-Player of the Year, Newcomer of the Year and a first-team selection in the Association of Independent Institutions prior to the 2014 championship tournament in Lawrenceville earlier this month.
Check out the full 2014 Softball All-America teams here.
To date, the Grizzlies have had 17 All-American selections over five sports this season with six first-team selections, three second-team selections and eight honorable mentions.

English Premier League Clubs Win Important 'Cyber Squatting' Case
Introductory Remarks
The Arbitration and Mediation Centre of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a specialized agency of the UN based in Geneva, Switzerland, has recently delivered an important ruling in a 'cyber squatting' sports-related case brought by five leading English Premier League Football Clubs, including Manchester United, all of whom successfully claimed that their trademarks had been misused through the registration and commercial use of domain names incorporating them by an unassociated and unauthorized third party offering for sale so-called 'official' tickets to their matches.
To succeed in a 'cyber squatting' case, a Complainant is required to prove each of the following three conditions specified in paragraph 4(a) of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Policy" or "UDRP") of 1999, namely that:
i the Disputed Domain Names are identical or confusingly similar to trade marks in which the Complainants have rights; and
ii the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Disputed Domain Names; and
iii the Disputed Domain Names have been registered and are being used in bad faith.
The present case citation is:
Fulham Football Club (1987) Limited, Tottenham Hostpur Public
Limited, West Ham United Football Club PLC, Manchester United
Limited, The Liverpool Football Club And Athletic Grounds Limited v.
Domains by Proxy, Inc./Official Tickets Ltd
And the reference is:
WIPO Case No. D2009-0331
Factual Background
The background to this case is as follows:
The Complainants are Fulham Football Club (1987) Limited, Tottenham Hotspur Public Limited, West Ham United Football Club PLC, Manchester United Limited, and Liverpool Football Club and Athletic Grounds Limited.
The Respondent is Domains by Proxy, Inc./Official Tickets Ltd., of United States of America.
The Complainants are all professional football clubs playing in the English Premier League. The Complainants have become widely known throughout the world through advertising and media coverage.
The Complainants are the owners of a number of trade marks registered in the United Kingdom, the European Union and the United States of America including, but not limited to:
MANCHESTER UNITED; and
The Complainants own domain names which incorporate the Complainants' registered trade marks. These include:
The Respondent is Domains by Proxy, Inc. /Official Tickets Ltd. of the United States of America.
The Disputed Domain Names were registered by Official Tickets Ltd. on October 24, 2007. The Disputed Domain Names resolve to websites selling tickets to the Complainants' football matches and other events.
The Respondent is not affiliated with the Complainants, nor is it - in any way - endorsed by the Complainants as an authorised distributor of tickets to the Complainants' football matches.
The Disputed Domain Names are:
The Complainants' Contentions
The Complainants contended that they have registered trade marks in their respective names; and that the Disputed Domain Names are identical or confusingly similar to the trade marks or service marks in which the Complainants have rights.
The Complainants supported their contention by reference to the fact, for example, that the Domain Names

Do you know that people who are more knowledgeable than you, quits? I say that to say this, on this journey where things that we haven't foreseen happens we have to remind ourselves that, "We can" and that in itself can carry more weight than what you know. Why? Life is going to present things that we do not expect, and that's why being resilient is necessary. Let's look at some ways to be more resilient.
"However long the night, the dawn will break." -African Proverb
I find the above quote to be inspiring and encouraging. What do you think? However, you may be saying to yourself, how longer it will take before my dawn break. Moreover, this could be the day!
#Immerse yourself into your passion
Some of us are naturally more resilient than others, however if you have a clear sense of purpose for your life you can enhance your ability to be resilient. You see, a man or woman with a clear vision (purpose) can withstand any adversity. Life becomes more interesting when we are doing things that are meaningful to us.
You may have to work a little longer, so make up your mind right now to do it.
#Be Optimistic
If you haven't already, and you want to become more resilient make it your priority to be optimistic daily. Being optimistic is not ignoring the problem, it looking at the bigger picture and in such a state you'll be more likely to see opportunity. I know firsthand what dealing with adversity feels like, but I can assure you that the possibility of breaking the drought is possible so don't lose hope. If you feel you are losing hope, start helping whoever you can with whatever you can. Helping others can also build your resiliency.
It's in you to bounce back!
#Help others
I know you want to experience what you are capable of and therefore, don't spend all your time watching those who are getting ahead, when what you should be doing is spending more time doing the things that will get you ahead. Moreover, the best of us picks up momentum after several tries, and some after the small daily progress. Stay in the game because that's the secret to winning.
You may fail at what you have started, but the possibility still exists to win at that same thing you have once failed.
Thank you for your support!

14th January 2015 and the New York Convention 1958January 10, 2015
Today there is a note in the dairy – It reads "ICA, NYC, $50B, Yukos" – Yes a written diary. I also like books – printed books. And quality fountain pens. And other such antiquities in this modern era.
Anyway, having yesterday mentioned the gargantuan sum of $50 billion proposed by George Soros to throw at Ukraine, its economy and its reforms, today the figure of $50 billion remains relevant for the purposes of this blog, per the diary – but in an entirely different way, and with very little to do with Ukraine directly.
On the 18th July 2014, the International Court of Arbitration at the Hague, in three judgements – here, here and here – awarded damages/compensation from the Russian Federation to those who were formerly involved with the now defunct Yukos, totaling $50 billion.
The Kremlin/Rosneft/Russian Federation – if they can be separated in any meaningful way – naturally had the right to appeal and have all or part of the verdicts set aside. Despite appeals, as of the time of writing, it has failed to do so and $50 billion remains the total award.
It goes without saying that it is unlikely that the Kremlin will pay the $50 billion, even in part – particularly as acknowledging wrongs done to – and compensating to the tune of $ billions – Mikhail Khodorkovsky will simply not be entertained. Even more so as Mr Khodorkovsky is busily attempting to build up some institutional competence around him preparation – it appears – to return to Russia and save it when the fall of President Putin eventually arrives.
That Mr Khodorkovsky, just as fellow oppositionist Mr Navalny, are not what Russia needs to replace Mr Putin, for now is not the point. Suffice to say replacing one personality cult with another is hardly likely to be helpful if a liberal democracy is the desired outcome. If another Tsar with a slightly different philosophy is the desired outcome, then Messrs Khodorkovsky or Navalny indeed fit the profile. Regardless, in the absence of any genuine liberal Kremlin opposition, these two men, together with Boris Nemtsov and Sergei Udaltsov are about all there really is. (What ever happened to Udaltsov? – Very quiet of late.)
Whatever the case, it is extremely unlikely that The Kremlin will pay, which brings us to the "Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards 1958" – or The New York Convention as it is better known.
As a result of its nefarious activities when applying rule by law to acquire and butcher Yukos – and then suffering when international rule of law is then latterly applied – there is also little to no chance of State owned/majority owned assets being seized in lieu of compensation within the Russian Federation – which is where the New York Convention comes into play for the aggrieved parties.
To keep things brief, The New York Convention obliges the 150 nations that are ratified to this international instrument to seize assets to fulfill the rulings of the International Court of Arbitration – less diplomatic missions and military assets. However, planes, trains, ships, art, NBR assets, antiques etc., owned by the Russian Federation or its State owned enterprises can – and are obliged to be – seized to the total value of $50 billion, as stated by the court, from amongst the 150 ratified nations.
This obligation coming into effect 180 days after the final ruling. Thus the 18th July Hague ruling comes into effect on 14th January – next Wednesday – on the proviso that all pending appeals have been dismissed.
On 16th December, the European Court for Human Right dismissed the Kremlin appeal – there being no courts of higher ranking in Europe, it would seem that is the end of that. The only question now being, is the 180 day clock commenced from 18th July, or reset to that of the 16th December when the appeal was dismissed? If reset, then that delays asset seizure until 14th June 2015 – at which point an already tetchy and irritable Kremlin will start to witness – if the process doesn't begin on 14th January per original ruling date – its assets to the tune of $50 billion begin to be seized globally – and legally.
None of this has anything to do with Ukraine – unless it is requested to seize assets on behalf of the injured parties, which considering its own pending and continually mounting claims against the Russian Federation, it would not only legally be obliged to do as a ratified signatory to the New York Convention, but also morally, if it expects the same international willingness to enforce the law, when its claims against The Kremlin are eventually heard and court rulings delivered.
Regardless of whether 14th January, or 14th June be the effective New York Convention date, one wonders whether those representing the injured parties have already scanned the globe identifying Kremlin owned assets for seizure and all associated bureaucratic documentation is penned waiting only to be dated and submitted.
Interesting times, as they say.
A note made for 14th June in the diary stating "ICA, NYC, $50B, Yukos"has been made just in case – at which point this issue will once again appear in the blog a few days prior to bureaucratic and legal requirements having been fully observed.

I use the My Fathers World curriculum for home school, and since I finished my Pride and Prejudice reading assignment my latest writing assignment is an essay explaining my personal beliefs on dating/courtship and marriage. Since this is a topic I've been interested in blogging about anyway, I thought I might as well just write it to you all!
These are the questions I am supposed to answer in my essay:
- What are your personal beliefs about dating/courtship and marriage?
- What are the character traits you consider important in a spouse?
- How will you "find" a spouse?
- How will you know he is the one for you?
- What role will your parents have in this?
Great questions aren't they? I've wanted to fall in love, get married, and have a brood of children since, well, as long as I can remember. (I also wondered how people found anything besides the faces of others attractive till I was probably thirteen, so it was in no way, uh, inappropriate?) Consequently I've had a lot of thinking to do on the subject, and I've done my own research and "fact collecting" (like a good ISTJ 😂) about Bible-honoring romantic relationships and also about myself, and the kind of person who I want to marry some day.
Let's tackle the first question, and arguably the most controversy-inducing question of them all. I've looked into courtship and dating and looked at the pros and cons of each. When I was around 14 the Duggar girls were first shown entering romantic relationships through this process called courting which, at that time, I had probably only heard mentioned in Victorian books. It seemed perfect. And yet watching it made me cringe. Everything about the whole process was awkward with a good many sweet moments thrown in, but mostly awkward. Ben Seewald and Derick Dillard approached Mr and Mrs Duggar to ask to "enter an official courtship" *shudder* with their daughters and just as well could have been asking to marry Jessa and Jill by how grave and nerve-wracking it was. I'm not trying to disrespect the Duggar family in any way, this is just the best example I can give of a flawed Christian courtship (even though it ended well).
Here's my step by step breakdown of modern Christian courtship:
Step 1. Boy and girl meet, maybe on several occasions, and there's some attraction on at least one part.
Step 2. Boy asks mother and father of girl if he has permission to enter a courtship with their daughter (aka: get to know her better with the end result being their marriage).
Step 3. If mom and dad permit it, the girl is then asked if she would like to enter a courtship with boy. If she complies, they begin an official courtship which is basically a betrothal.
Step 4. The rest of courtship is them getting to know each other before getting married, doing "real life" things together, not this floofy "fun" that less spiritual people speak of (sorry, I have to be a tad sarcastic).
Do you see any problems with this description above? It took me awhile but I finally figured it out. THE COMMITMENT AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP IS EQUIVALENT TO AN ENGAGEMENT. Do you see anything wrong with that? Let me explain myself: if you have just "come of age", and never had any romantic relationships before, do you even know, truly, what you want in a spouse? I haven't even had a full conversation with a peer of the opposite sex (besides cousins) since I was thirteen. What if you get several months into a courtship and find that, hey, he/she isn't really what I want in a lifelong spouse? Breaking it off, from my research, has traumatized some similarly to the breaking off of an engagement, and left both participants in a state of discouragement and heartbreak. Another problem with this system is that Godly young men are left feeling worthless as fathers and mothers deny them the opportunity of getting to know their daughters better (because nobody is good enough for their princesses), and Godly young women start doubting themselves, wondering if they're not good enough get any romantic inquiries.
This is why (along with a few other reasons) my family has decided we are not going the traditional courtship route once we kids are old enough. Does this mean we must resort to the worldly, sometimes fornication-included dating? Absolutely NOT!
Here are the three steps I've outlined, between "just friends" and "man and wife", in a God-glorifying dating relationship:
Step 1) Dating: a time to determine through several dates if there's any future with, more than likely, a couple different guys/girls. Casual, no set in stone commitments. Can be discontinued without huge emotional trauma or violently hurt feelings. Friendship status.
Step 2) "Going steady": a time when you've dated one guy/girl consistently and have determined that you could have a future together. Not engaged, but marriage is definitely possible. Breaking it might be a bigger deal than just after the above friend type dates, although not devastating. Boyfriend and girlfriend status.
Step 3) Engaged: a time to plan for your wedding and broaden your relationship. Full faithfulness required.
Now, since this is so long already, I'm going to break it into at least two parts. Be sure to check back soon for the answers to the rest of the questions, and also dating restrictions and requirements I've written out for myself using Gods Word and what wisdom and discernment He has graciously granted me.
What do my readers think about the Dating -vs- Courtship controversy? Leave a (nice and respectful if you please) comment!

DALLAS-- This Texas heat wave has canceled many events in the Metroplex, one, however, is pushing through the heat at Klyde Warren Park.
"So this event behind us is called, Celebrate STEM in the Park, which is a true celebration of science, technology, engineering and math for students here locally in Dallas." said Christiana Yebra of Dallas Millennial Club.
More than 1,500 kids from across North Texas came together for the fun learning experience put together by the Dallas Millennial Club.
"There is a lot of negative stigma around millennials and our generation about a lack of giving a lack of philanthropy. But, I look at this crowd and I look at this group and we funded a lot of great activities for students. It's something we wanted to do, STEM just made sense in Dallas." said Yebra.
Dallas Millennial Club hopes to make the STEM in the Park a yearly event. So, while it's smart to keep cool this summer, it's also cool to be smart!

This copyrighted selection is from my forthcoming book In Harmony.
A few are dismissive of my personal beliefs. My relatives do not care to hear that our ancestors are having regular sit-down chats with me. Physical evidence should be harder to dismiss you would think.
Last year a protective symbol appeared in my backyard and wasn't put there by human hands. It was a large triangle pointed toward my house in parallel lines of mixed stones. Ninety-six to be exact. Some were river rocks, one was a white rock shaped like a femur bone, a few were ruby zoisite, which is the stone of patience and transforming negative energy to positive energy. The beautiful polished stone originated from Tanzania, which is far, far from my yard. The zoisite is also a calming stone, which I may have needed because my new neighbors and their aggressive canines were ruining my backyard for me.
Animals are my thing, but these dogs were far from friendly. One appeared in my side yard and tried to attack me. My neighbors finally got a fence they attached to my own, but that did little to calm down the hounds. They were outside all the time and constantly barking at me, or any family member who dared to venture outside. Whenever my aged pooch came outside, they went crazy. Somehow, they bit one of the other neighbor's yorkies through the fence putting permanent punctures in the tiny dog's ears. No one was a fan of these dogs.
The yard had been my natural sanctuary. After long winter months, there was nothing I liked better than tilling the soil and planting seeds. My husband and I used to sit in our lawn chairs and watch the birds at the feeders. Even the birds were disturbed by the dogs' constant barking and hurling themselves against the fence. The fence panel came loose after one of the crazed dogs consistently hurled itself against the it. I found myself inches away from the dog's snapping snout. The possibility it had been trained to attack liberals crossed my mind. More likely it had roamed free over several acres of land and assumed it was guarding its territory.
In retrospect, I'd like to pretend I handled the moment in a mature, serene matter. I did not. A series of curse words flew from my mouth some directed at the snapping dog as I pushed the sagging fence in place. Then, I screamed for my husband to bring the hammer and nails. We hammered the fence back in place, but couldn't do the same for the serenity that have been ripped from my backyard natural sanctuary.
It was a summer without fire pits because we could barely hear ourselves talk with the dogs constantly baying, howling, and throwing themselves against the fence. The neighbor whose dog was bit moved. The neighbor on the other side of me moved, too. It was as if they couldn't wait to get away. A feeling I understood. My husband did his best to serve as a buffer between the neighbor and me by asking the neighbor not to spray his toxic chemicals near the fence line since I had wild flowers growing on the other side.
Retreat was my only option. Instead of enjoying the summer in my yard, I watched the birds from inside the house and the occasional park. During this time, I asked the fairies to help me. Not with the dogs because I hadn't thought of that, but with the various plants and wildlife that took shelter in our yard.
While waiting for a time when I could use the yard for myself and for rituals, I put out gnome statues to attract gnomes. I also scattered quartz crystal in the flower gardens hoping to attract the fairies. Fairies is a general name that covers over two hundred different entities. My goal was to bring out the gnomes. Traditionally, gnomes are caretakers of the garden. They are also believed to protect minerals or buried treasure. They will often draw crystals into the ground since they love them so much. Some beliefs center on gnomes being both good luck and guardians. This is why the statues are placed in gardens, houses, even barns.
The day I discovered the stones I was cutting grass. I may have discovered the femur stone first since it was white and stood out against the grass. Afraid I might run over them with a lawnmower, I picked up a couple stones and put them in a bucket. There were dozens of stones all in a pattern in the tall spring grass. I took a photo of them, then picked them up. When my husband arrived home, I asked him if this was an elaborate trick of his---not like this behavior was part of his nature.
He hadn't done it. We have a six-foot privacy fence and the gate is locked from the inside. There was no rational explanation. After we threw out normal possibilities, we had to accept it was a mystical occurrence and my husband urged me to put out the rocks as I found them. I did.
Since I did not consider myself an expert on natural phenomenon, I carried my photo around and asked those with more expertise to examine it. Powerful, protective magic one described it. Another told me I definitely had fairies in the yard, most likely gnomes since the stones had been selected and pushed up through the ground as opposed to being laid on the grass. At a crystal workshop I attended, the instructor laid out a similar stone grid to provide psychic protection. The grid in the backyard was for me, my household, and all who were in the yard.
Strange things started happening. The neighbors with the obnoxious dogs often put up their dogs whenever they spotted me in the yard filling up the bird feeders. They also put up a barrier around their back porch where I couldn't see them. Their attitude struck me as fearful as they all scurried into the house whenever they saw me. It was that crazy woman who sang to the flowers and tied ribbons to the trees. They were ribbons with intentions. I didn't care what they said. What I wanted was things to go back to the way they were.
One day on my walk through the neighborhood, I noticed my annoying neighbor had put up a for sale sign. The next day their house sold causing me to wonder if they had underpriced it. A week later they were gone as were their dogs. The new neighbors were a quiet couple that had a garage full of boxes as opposed to Trump flags.
Odd that the neighbors would move, especially since the wife told me this was their last home. There would be no more moving for her. Since a year had come and gone, it was spring again. This time when my husband went to mow. All the stones were missing possibly because they'd accomplish what they were supposed to do.
My witchy friends asked me if I put a spell on the neighbors to get them to leave. I did not. The yard is my magical place and many spells had been done there as well as charging of crystals. Maybe my energy was incompatible with the recently departed neighbor's. All I truly know is gnomes are great to have on your side. Now, it is time to select the perfect thank you gift. I'm thinking crystals with a scattering of silver coins.

The panoramic view of Mount Tambora's caldera in Dompu regency, West Nusa Tenggara. (Antara/Ahmad Subaidi)
Marveling at the New Year sunrise from the top of a mountain is probably a dream for many adventure seekers.
In Indonesia, you have many options to climb, except those of course that have been closed due to weather conditions and preservation purposes, such as Mount Semeru and Mt. Rinjani.
But there are other mountains to climb to mark your New Year, and below are some of the recommended ones as compiled by tempo.co:
Mount Papandayan
Set at 2,665 meters above sea level, Mt. Papandayan in Cisurupan, Garut regency, West Java, welcomes its visitors with unique steam-spewing craters at the beginning of the hike.
Higher up, climbers can marvel at a garden of edelweiss as well as a dead forest with its exotic dry trees, which has become the mountain's main attraction because its terrain is not difficult to navigate.
Mount Cikuray
Garut, Mt. Cikuray in Dayeuhmanggung boasts a fantastic view thanks to its sea of white clouds surrounding the peak -- no wonder it is called negeri di atas awan (country above the clouds).
The peak is a little bit higher than Mt. Papandayan at 2,821 m above sea level.

Mount Ciremai
Set at 3,078 m above sea level, Mt. Ciremai is the tallest in West Java and serves as a popular destination during year-end holidays. Hikers can reach the mountain from Kuningan or Majalengka regencies. Both have their own challenging treks.
But the trip to the peak will be worth it as it is blessed with a picturesque vista, a crater, sunrise and a sea of white clouds.
Mount Merapi
Situated within Central Java and Yogyakarta provinces, Mt. Merapi is famous among New Year hikers as well. Visitors can reach it through two official hiking trails, namely the Selo trail in Boyolali and the Sapuangin trail in Klaten.
Climbers usually set their tents in the Bubrah Market area -- which is set at 2,700 m above sea level -- that is home to a vast rocky area. From this spot, the sandy and rocky gray peak of Merapi can be clearly seen.
But do note that this mountain could be closed down due to volcanic activity, so prepare a backup plan, such as hiking Mt. Merbabu instead.
Mount Merbabu
This Central Java mountain is home to an endless sea of grass, filled with gorgeous Teletubbie-like hills.
Set at 3,142 m above sea level, visitors to Mt. Merbabu can easily view the elegant Mt. Merapi, which is surrounded by white clouds.
Mount Tambora
Situated on Sumbawa Island, Mt. Tambora is located in the same province as Mt. Rinjani in West Nusa Tenggara. Those familiar with its name will know it was one of the volcanoes that erupted in 1815.
It is also home to the biggest caldera in Indonesia, which has a beautiful view that hikers can expect to enjoy this New Year. (kes)

Next week, for the first time in his six decades of life, Henry Beh will have a few vacant slots in his daily diary.
After 29 years at the Richmond Chinese Community Society (RCCS) — where he was a founding director, treasurer, president and currently executive director — Beh has decided to check out at the top.
Word of his retirement as one of Richmond's most-recognized and respected community leaders has travelled fast and he's already knocked back a few offers for his services from other local organizations, citing that he's got two granddaughters (age four and 10 months) ready to fill his day.
However, there will be an undoubted void left behind by Beh's departure, given the efforts he and his small team have made over the years to not just support the local, immigrant Chinese community, but encourage them to integrate into mainstream society, as well.
And before he bid farewell to his desk at the RCCS office on Westminster Highway at Buswell Street, Beh offered some parting advice to the most recent wave of immigrants calling Richmond their home.
"Over last 10 years, from mainland China, there is a slightly different culture coming here," said Malaysian-raised Beh, pointing out that he speaks Mandarin, as well as Cantonese.
"There is a lot of money coming in now with new immigrants from China and I think they need to do more to understand Canadian tradition and culture; how to get involved with mainstream society more.
"They should learn to do more giving, as well as taking, give more to charity or help more mainstream organizations.
"RCCS can only do so much, we have limited funding; we only have three people working here. We are only skimming the surface. People coming here need to make more of an effort to integrate."
Although Beh — who immigrated to Vancouver in 1974, after attending high school in England as an international student — feels strongly about integration, he stopped short of backing recent calls for mandatory English on business signs.
"Continue with the education," added Beh. "I've spoken to all sides on this. A lot of the people that are putting those Chinese-only signs up, they just don't understand the Canadian culture and I've told them it's wrong and it's disrespectful.
"If I see a business with a Chinese-only sign, I will tell them that there needs to be some English on there.
"It takes time, education will work."
Indeed, education and integration have been among the cornerstones of RCCS in Beh's tenure, with classes such as "English Corner" featuring among the non-profit's programming.
"Our main objective has always been to build bridges with the mainstream (community) and be as inclusive as possible," said Beh, who retired as an accountant in 2001 to work with RCCS, as its membership swelled from 200 to more than 1,000.
"Because of all the different cultures in Richmond, it can, if not dealt with properly, create lots of sensitivity, whether it be the Chinese sign issue or mega houses.
"The only way this can happen is for things to be inclusive; we are always doing outreach to all cultures. Our events have a little bit of something for everyone and our community dinners are for everyone."
Born in 1989 out of the 13-year-old, parent-run Richmond Chinese School, the RCCS, according to Beh, was founded by people who wanted to help the wider community more than teaching their kids Cantonese and Mandarin.
"We felt we could do something bigger for the community, so we formed the society in 1989," explained Beh, adding that the Chinese population at the time in Richmond was around 40 per cent. Still to this day, we are all about promoting the spirit of community participation for the betterment of Richmond."
RCCS is now in its third home. It started at No. 3 and Cambie roads — next to Duffy's Donuts — before moving to Park Road, where they stayed until the building was slated for redevelopment last year.
However, this will likely be Beh's last move, explaining that it's now "time to slow down and spend more time with the family.
"RCCS (is) going through a bit of a restructuring and the time was right. I've been thinking about it for a while; 29 years is a long time and I want to leave on a high note.
"I love Richmond and would love more community harmony, but it is challenging."
Beh thanked everyone for their support over the years, adding that no successor has been chosen at RCCS.

Fleet tanker INS Shakti as seen from the R.K. Beach in VisakhapatnamC.V.Subrahmanyam
The Indian Navy has sent two ships to take part in the International Fleet Review to be held in Qingdao, China, later this month as part of the 70th anniversary celebrations of the People's Liberation Army Navy. The ships are stealth destroyer INS Kolkata and fleet tanker INS Shakti.
Surprisingly, Pakistan's Navy is not taking part in the event.
"The ships are likely to sail in the evening of April 22 to participate in the Naval Parade scheduled to be reviewed by Chinese President Xi Jinping on April 23," the Navy said in a statement on Friday.
The visit of the Navy's most potent destroyer and versatile fleet support ship showcases India's prowess, reach and sustainability, besides indigenous ship-building capability, the Navy said. The Indian delegation is being led by the Chief of Staff of the Visakhapatnam-based Eastern Naval Command, who is of the rank of Rear-Admiral.
As a reciprocal gesture and as part of the efforts to promote military cooperation, China has agreed to send its ships on port calls to India, a Navy source said.
"In a big surprise, Pakistan's Navy is not participating in the event by its all-weather friend," the Navy source said.
The Indian Navy had last held an International Fleet Review in February 2016, in which 50 navies of different countries took part with nearly 100 warships.
