Ombre means shadow or shading in French. It is a hair color characterized by being darker at the roots and gradually getting lighter towards the tips. Reverse ombre hair is the opposite of that – darker tips and gradually darker roots.
Kris Sorbie has usually credited with the invention of this technique about 18 years ago. Hair stylish used this term to refer to a style of hair in which the hair color gradually changes from on tone or shade to another tone or shade without a strong visible boundary in between the two colors.
Why Choose Ombre Hair?
Ombre is a great choice for a variety of reasons.
First of all, it is a low-maintenance hairstyle. Since root growth does not affect the ombre look you will be able to go several months without needing a touch-up job. Also, once you grow tired of it all you have to do is chop the tips off.
Second, ombre hair is still trendy. Ever since the trend began, there have been people proclaiming that ombre is over. Despite this, the trend is still very much alive, among both celebrities and the general population.
Third, ombre is less harmful to your hair since it is only applied locally, near the tips and not all over your scalp. This makes it easier on your hair and safe for pregnant women.
Fourth, it is usually safe for work. Unless you go for very bold colors such as purple and pink, ombre hair can look creative and unique without being unprofessional.
How To Care Ombre Hair
While ombre is a low maintenance hairstyle there are still few things you should do to take care of it. Make sure you use the right aftercare products. Keep your hair moisturized with a deep conditioner and use a color-extending shampoo. You should also use a hair styling protector before using a flat iron or blow dryer.
Ombre HairStyles
Ombre hairstyle looks best at long hair locks but can be done on short hair also. Long hair looks better because Ombre shade looks much more defined and visible on long floating hair strands. Also when the length of hair in long, there is more capacity available for the gradual descents of the shade but it does not mean that people with shorter hair cannot have Ombre shade. They can also go Ombre easily and it will look beautiful without a doubt!
Ombre shade suits all color of outfits. You can easily get that hair style without worrying about your everyday styling. It is smart, chic, formal and very fashionable: all at the same time. Working women specifically like Ombre shade for this very reason. Ombre shade is very adaptable. It goes with the formal dressing requirements of the offices and at the same time looks very stylish and smart when they dress up for a party. Along with this, Ombre hair is easy to maintain in terms of the dying requirements.
With all these advantages another advantage of Ombre hair is that it suits all kind of hairstyles as well. As the shade descends from a darker to lighter tone, all hair styles look good in Ombre shade as each twist and turn off hair is more visible and upfront due to the gradually changing hair shade. Be it braid, bun or curls Ombre hair color will help your hairstyle stand out and look beautiful.
If you are still thinking about having or not having Ombre hair style, please go ahead. You will look beautiful as this hairstyle is for everyone. It's trendy, elegant and fashionable and truly your thing!

" Most people in business know their craft or their particular product. The problem is, that having only that skill set makes you a great Worker instead of Business Owner. Not having the proper mindset, financial skills or promotional skills, limits your ability to find, sell, up-sell and keep any potential customers on a pro-active, ongoing basis."
Over the last 2 decades of starting, operating, and selling businesses, Sergio DeCesare, the owner of Max Business Profits, has realized and documented 7 essential Factors of Profit in business plus a few other important tactics that can take a business from Mediocrity to Super Star status.
Profit Factors, or P-Factors, as we call them, like People, Promotion and Pricing, as well as the rest, are absolutely critical to get right in order to profit massively. NOT understanding these "P-Factors" down cold, could mean the difference between having a cash machine that runs on Autopilot OR being out of business in less than three years! It's the difference between having an operation that grows EVERY year, in good times or bad or having a J-O-B or Hobby that is simply just siphoning off your money, precious time, your health and marriage!
Yes, I said…marriage! Here is some Frightening Statistical Facts:
The U.S. Census Bureau reports that 400,000 new businesses are started every year in the USA, but 470,000 are dying.
- 1/3 small business owners will be outta business in 2 years.
- Half will not survive 5 years
- Only 4% make it beyond 10 years.
- Survival rates are similar across industries.
- 88% of all married couples working together WILL divorce.
SBA also says that about 50% of businesses fail during the first year in business.
92% of all business failures can be attributed to 1 of 2 reasons or BOTH:
- Lack of Financial Knowledge, Anticipation or Skills:
a. Understanding your financial data and how to use it.
b. How to Price their product or service competitively for the maximum amount of Profit.
c. How to correctly gauge costs correctly.
d.How to create and document processes in their business to increase productivity.
2. Lack of Marketing Knowledge:
a. WHO is your marketing target and Why.
b. WHAT problem do you solve for them?
C. WHY should they choose you over a Competitor?
These are just a few of the Questions we help you find an answer to when you work with us.
This is the difference between being an Owner and an Operator!

Entry Point: Wood Lake
Trip Length: 3 Days
Apex: Indiana Lake
Exit: Moose Lake
Level: Moderate (perspective – it is possible to begin at the Wood Lake parking lot and paddle this loop in Moose lake in about 5 hours flat – I have done it. Three days and two nights is a leisurely time schedule)
Pace: 6 – 8 miles per day (land & sea combined)
Scenery: Beautiful – rocks, stick, water, rapids, portages
Busy Times: Last week of July – First week of August, Memorial Weekend, Labor Day Weekend
Features: Crossed Wood Lake which is a good fishing Lake, follows into Hula and parts of the old logging routes from when the area was clear cut for shoring timber for the mines – at the turn of the century. Hula was also a popular wild rice lake for the Ojibway Indians who came here from Maine to kick the crap out of the Lakota Sioux who are now in South Dakota as a result. Where were all the protesters then, eh?
Problems: Limited campsites on Wood as many Twin Cities dwellers now believe that driving 4.5 hours from the south and paddling 30 minutes is now a wilderness experience. Sites at Wood can be booked with basecampers who think nothing of wearing everything out by not moving for 7 days in a stretch. They also believe that it is legal to paddle out – during their permit stay-, drive to Ely, check their email, go shopping, and then return back to their campsite on Wood. THIS ACTION HAS NEVER BEEN LEGAL – EVER! You can't camp on Hula, so it is not unusual for Twin Cities dwellers to break that law and return to Wood Lake to set up illegal campsites as well. For some reason, those who ardently "protect" the BWCA seem to believe those laws they defend, don't apply to themselves. With no sites available, you may need to camp on Good Lake or Indiana lake both which only have 2 sites each and neither of these are anything special.
Solutions: Travel early. Travel like you mean it. Carry field glasses. Look at the sites from a distance. Once you've captured a site for yourself, set out a big blue bathtowel on a visible tree branch to keep the late travelers from paddling right up to your nose to see if the site is full. Now that you know the laws, file a complaint at the US Forest Service on the way out if you see "revolving door" campers on Wood Lake. Better still, point it out to the lawbreakers on the portage, but do so from a distance. They display great consternation and anger when you call them on their law-breaking practices. You can tell who they are because their empty canoe will be laying at the landing with no humans around. When you see that canoe back out on the lake after you've set up camp and it is late int he day, you'll know what they are up to. It's supposed to be a wilderness experience. It is not a state campground with car-campers and Hells Angels wannabes on hogs and Gold Wings.

Our Books
Masque & Other Yarns ...now in RELEASE from PHP
Releasing thru 2018 - it's Kevin Roberts' collection of Short Stories ..his Yarns.
Also available
His new Novella
Lions... Check this LINK...for a Review.
Happy Reading & Happy Writing
Thanks for an amazing decade of book-running.
Good News:
Kevin Roberts has a new Book - ready for a Summer Launch.
Summer - 2019. Almost here!
Michael Kanaly's new Book - is ready for a Fall Launch.
Fall - 2019
As well, last summer, Vancouver Island University presented an Outstanding Service Award to retired VIU English professor Dr. Kevin Roberts. We're proud to have Kevin's Books at PHP.
Kevin has a new Chapbook, "Foot Prints" released last summer with another publisher. PHP writers are found in a number of other places - as it needs to be.
Michael Kanaly - is now focusing on his new writing - Lucky Readers.
If you want an insight about his other work...we suggest reading his hard-hitting "Room One"
Going Global
One Book At A Time
Releases from Kevin and from Michael.
Both Michael Kanaly, who lives in New York State, and Kevin Roberts, who comes to Canada via Australia, reflect an international approach which will expand even more. They've brought some of their books to the 2007 full-launch of a press that keeps transmuting with the times. Continue to look for releases year-round and not just in publishing 'seasons'.
However, Caren and I have now stepped back from running PHP. Pilot Hill Press is now with its writers, and they'll be letting us all know exactly how they go..
In this age we all combine forces - a group of people want to get great books to great readers.
Each of our publications was chosen to become a gathering point a flash of light caught in a net of words. Readers love the heft of a book; the way it fits in a pocket or a backpack. We all imagine the look of books on window ledges of small cabins; in high rise buildings, on buses, on subways.
May these books be carried around the world like lanterns - each holding a necessary spark.
In 2017- something very different happened for the evolving Pilot Hill Press... A Western...
...The Powerful & Disturbing.
.. Bad Men...
...Lived up to its title.
Michael brings us, with searing honesty, what people said & what people did, when the world was harsh, and the people were all wounded - even when the shots missed.
No holds barred; nothing censored by times tinted-glasses, in this book, people speak and act as people did in those harsh days. It hurts while it lives. The words, the actions, the events, all spill into the world as they would have, & as they did.
The ending will stay with you long after this book is read.

The Army National Guard specialist from Oregon, who along with several others, thwarted a terrorist attack on a Paris train last month, is a contestant on the new season of Dancing with the Stars.
The Greek American hero was on vacation in Paris on that fateful day. Skarlatos has said he was sleeping and awoke to observe the events on the train, and operated on "gut instinct". For his bravery, he was awarded the US Army's Soldiers Medal. Skarlaros' hero status landed him on the popular show.
Season 21 commenced on September 14. For someone who says he hasn't danced before, he did a fantastic job. As we observed his outstretched arms during the dance, we could imagine him dancing a zembekiko! Prior to their performance, the show aired a segment on the events of that August day in Paris. His fox trot, with pro partner Lindsay Arnold earned a score of 22. Judge Julianne Hough called his performance, "the surprise of the night."
The 22 year-old is attending community college and hopes to someday become a policeman. His fast-acting instincts will take him far.
We'll be watching each week and cheering on our hero. Dancing with the Stars airs on ABC on Mondays, at 8/7c. Check local listings for your area.
We're loving how "Greek" Dancing with the Star is this season! From Alek as a competitor, to pro dancers Karina Smirnoff (Greek-Russian descent) and Mark Ballas (Greek-Mexican-Spanish descent) — and on the season premiere, past contestant Maria Menounos was in the audience! So what are the chances of them incorporating some traditional folk dance moves into a performance? 😉 OPA! Way to represent!

Monday Miscellany--Some Questions About Writing
I loved the post about on Tossing it Out earlier this month. Arlee Bird posed the questions,
"Is your writing mostly in vain? Would you rather make a good living at what you do now and be consigned to the back pages of history? Or would you prefer the status of struggling artist who gains fame after you are dead and gone?"
As to the choice of making a living now or being forgotten I don't think we have much to say about that. We can write for popular consumption today, and what we write will remain the same while the culture and the readers will evolved into something we may never imagine.
So write, write, write and enjoy the act. If you're lucky, if you're skilled/talented, if the timing is right you'll sell your book to readers. If your stars really line up, in a few hundred years you could be a best selling author. Only time will tell. (Oops! Cliche alert.)
Now I'm off to write something. Hope you'll jump in and add your ideas about Arlee's questions. Coming this December I'll be joining Alex Cavanaugh's Insecure Writer's Blog Hop. If you want to come on board, just sign up and post about all your insecurity the first Wednesday of each month. See you there, I hope.

Interesting question. Of course I'd like to get a book published, but if I don't I've told a story (or two or three) that I needed to tell. I've also written a few songs that I think are better than many I hear on the radio and some terribly poetry. Will they make me famous after I'm dead and gone? I won't know so I don't care. :)ReplyDelete
I agree. I'd rather find my readers now, while I'm alive enough to enjoy them! Still, I do hope to leave my writing to my children so it can help support them. If I'm not remembered in 100 years, that's not a problem. Any affect I have today will ripple into tomorrow, whether I'm remembered or not.ReplyDelete
Sometimes I get so caught up in being productive, sending my stuff out, researching markets that I lose sight of the reason for it all - my love for the craft. Last night I sat down and journaled. As I wrote for myself, without a thought to a possible audience, it restored the joy that had slipped away. So I'm with you, no writing is in vain.ReplyDelete
Every time I pose this question, authors answer it the same way: they'd all rather be successful now, even if they're forgotten before long, than struggle in obscurity now and be famous for years afterward.ReplyDelete
I do think it's sad when I look back at people who were bestsellers or feted as quality artists in their own time and whose work nobody reads anymore. But then, they did influence the writers of their time, and so contributed to the ongoing chain of literature, even indirectly.
Given that I will never know how my work is regarded post-kicking-the-bucket, I'd like to share it now. ;) It's interesting to think about, though!ReplyDelete
I agree no writing is in vain. I enjoy writing. Of course I really, really want a book published now or later, but I truly enjoy the creation of it.ReplyDelete
Good question!
I enjoy writing, but I also enjoy eating, so here's to finding that audience before I starve to death.ReplyDelete
I don't think most "real" writers are in it for lasting fame. Of course we all want to be published and have people love our books. But I'd write no matter what.ReplyDelete
I hope I'm not offensive if I say I don't want fame, period. But if fame is in the cards for me, let it be after I'm no longer here. The idea of being recognized stopped for autographs, whatever- not my thing.ReplyDelete
Writing definitely is. Seeking publication is what I do to justify the time and effort I dedicate to writing.
Oh, and I would love to be paid. This^ all points to a 'work-for-hire' model: income but little or no recognition. But there I wouldn't write what I want to write.
Great post for writers.
I agree that no writing is in vain. So true. That's quite a question to ponder. Hmm, I'd have to agree that now is more important. It's the highlight of being a writer to get to interact with our readers. Especially as a children's writer, well, seeing those bright smiling faces when I do a school visit is so rewarding and means a lot to me.ReplyDelete
I think Shakespeare would be surprised to know what an impact his writing has had on the world. He was probably too busy writing when he was alive to give much thought to whether he would become a legend centuries after he died.
Great post - and I'm with you. I don't think any writing is ever done in vain. If you enjoy doing it, then it can't be wasted!ReplyDelete
I'd like to make a living now. Sure it's great to hope that one day long after I'm gone people will still know my name, but if they aren't that's fine with me. I'd rather people know me while I'm here.ReplyDelete
I'm flattered that you took my topic and took it to the next level. Excellent post and some really great comments in response to it.ReplyDelete
Writing is a serendipitous gift that some have and some develop. There's no absolute formula that always works. If there were then there'd be good writers everywhere and I guess good writers would be at a par with fast food workers and they'd all get by at minimum wage with no fame or glory for the future.
Writing should be special to the individual who writes and beyond that there are no guarantees.
Just write and whatever happens, happens.

Mourning Crosses for the Bereaved
Mourning and the grieving process following the death of a loved one are among the most important of traditions. The wake and the funeral are very important in this tradition.
We have all attended wakes and funerals where we did not know all of the relatives of the deceased; therefore, we found it hard to identify who we should sympathise with. The situation can be at best uncomfortable and at worst embarrassing. The Family Mourning Cross/Symbol is designed to overcome this problem and when worn by the family of the deceased it helps us identify the appropriate family members.

2013 Mercedes GL Specs
By Arman Barari on Jul 28, 2012 with Comments 0
Even though the Mercedes GL seems kinda lost between the ML and G-Class, the car has a very strong fan base. It's an ideal car for those who want a big, practical SUV with a relaxed driving manner and tons of features.
The new 2013 model is considerably enhanced in every aspect you can think of. he high standards of comfort are derived from the combined result of a very rigid bodyshell, a perfected drivetrain, an improved chassis and superb aeroacoustic finishing, as well as the intelligent use of new-style insulation materials. At the same time, the GL-Class retains its traditional advantages of being extremely responsive with outstanding off-road expertise.
There are three models on offer at the launch: the GL 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC with a V6 diesel engine, the V8 petrol engine GL 500 4MATIC BlueEFFICIENCY and the new GL 63 AMG with its V8 Biturbo petrol engine. The latter is possibly the coolest 7-seat SUV out there!
Specs and details:
at 1/min
|GL 350 BlueTEC
* Specifications for the international range of models; these may vary depending on the country
**Electronically limited
In addition to the state-of-the-art engine technology, an extensive BlueEFFICIENCY package supports greater economy. This includes the new seven-gear automatic transmission 7G-TRONIC PLUS, as well as the standard ECO stop-start function. The intelligent generator management, electric power steering and reduced rolling resistance of the tyres also have a fuel-saving effect.
In comparison with its predecessor (GL 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC), the weight of the new GL-Class has been reduced by 90 kg due to the extensive use of efficient construction methods. These include the use of light but durable aluminium alloys for the bonnet and wings. The front and rear suspension links are also made of light alloys, therefore the lower weight reduces energy requirements and the vehicle provides a more comfortable ride due to its lower unsprung mass. Other weight reductions include the new acoustic windscreen, the magnesium cross beam of the dashboard, the BlueTEC system with SCR technology and components such as the new electric power steering, the electric parking brake and plastic engine support.
The interior of the GL: First Class for seven people
In addition to its extremely comfortable ride and excellent driving dynamics, both on the road as well as over rough terrain, the GL-Class spoils its passengers with an interior which comes up to the first class standards of a luxurious saloon. Up to seven passengers are able to enjoy the outstanding seating. The elegant interior design features high-quality materials and great attention has been paid to details; the space-efficient arrangement has a perfect ergonomic design – the interior of the GL-Class conveys the feeling of well-being typical for the Mercedes-Benz brand. Extensive trim elements in a range of wood or in aluminium, controls in silver-chrome and upholstery in permeable ARTICO man-made leather material with decorative topstitching on the seams in a contrasting colour underline the overall high-quality impression.
The 2-3-2 seating arrangement provides a generous amount of space. In comparison with its predecessor, the passengers have been given a great deal more elbow, shoulder and headroom in all three rows of seats. As a standard feature, the third row of seats can be folded up and down electrically. Another innovation is the EASY-ENTRY system for accessing the third row of seats from both sides – also if required with optional electric controls.
As another first for a series model SUV, Mercedes-Benz is offering an optional sound system for the GL-Class from the well-known manufacturers of music systems Bang & Olufsen. The Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG High-End Surround-Sound System with a total output of 1200 W and 14 high-end loudspeakers transforms the interior of the car into a concert hall with breathtaking acoustics.
Mercedes-Benz is the first car manufacturer to evaluate and assess the role of aeroacoustics which provides the decisive parameters for a comfortable ride especially when travelling at higher speeds. As a result, the psychoacoustic characteristics of SUV models like the GL-Class have been considerably improved. Here not only the high frequency wind noises were rated, but also the low frequencies – especially those concerning the comprehensibility and audibility of spoken language. A comparison with the S-Class proves just how successful the GL engineers were: the objective and subjective impression of noise lies at the same level for both vehicles. Because of its typical SUV design, however, it took a great deal more effort to achieve these top results with the GL than with a luxury saloon.
First class design
From first sight, the GL-Class 2012 can be recognised as a member of the Mercedes-Benz SUV family. A new interpretation of the first generation GL at the front, the design is dominated by the GL's typically upright radiator grille with its central star and the clear, high-quality design of the headlamps – the new Mercedes-Benz LED signature. In particular, the standard Intelligent Light System headlamps on the GL 500 4MATIC BlueEFFICIENCY give a high-quality, exclusive and innovative appearance. The difference lies in a light wave conductor for the position lights, LED technology indicators and the practical Night View Assist PLUS which is available as an option. The daytime running lamps, also in LED technology are integrated in a chrome clasp in the bumper, and underneath the radiator grille the large underbody panel rounds off the self-confident appearance. The well-balanced proportions of the profile view (length 5,120 mm, height 1,850 mm) and the long wheelbase (3,075 mm) underline the vehicle's on-road emphasis, but at the same time the short body overhangs at front and rear, together with the vehicle's great ground clearance point to its suitability for off-road use. At the rear its two-piece LED rear lamps use light wave conductor technology. The large roof spoiler, bumper, with its modern "wing design" and the large chromed area of the underbody panel complete its enhancements. For the first time there is an extensive AMG exterior sport package available for those GL customers who find it increasingly important for their vehicle to have a sporting and dynamic appearance.
Passive safety: All-round protection for all passengers
Maximum protection potential is provided by the passive protection systems for passengers in conjunction with the "electronic crumple zone" provided by the assistant systems and the intelligent body construction. Adaptable two-stage airbags for the driver and front passenger, knee bags for the driver, sidebags for the driver and front passenger (combined thorax/pelvis bags) and window bags for all three rows of seats are part of the standard package. The integration of the optional thorax bags in the backrest of the tilt-adjustable folding seat in the middle row of seats allows the airbag to be in the best possible position regardless of the position of the backrest. Furthermore, there are three-point seat belts for all seven passenger seats on board. Also part of the standard package are the pyrotechnic inertia reel tensioners and constant belt force-limiters, as well as electrically reversible belt reel-in tensioners at the front, inertia reel tensioners and single stage force-limiters on the outer seats of the middle bench seat as well as on the rear single seats. The GL-Class also has the standard active bonnet system.

Behind the Scenes - Aston Martin Photoshoot
An Aston Martin shoot I did last year. Shot the car with multiple lights and various modifiers. I Even did a little light painting. The rest of the video gives a run down of some of my editing process. It's a bit chaotic, and I have changed a few things with my editing since this shoot. If you pay close attention there is a wheel brightening trick that I use in all my editing. It really makes the wheels pop. I'll post up more BTS videos later. Enjoy.

Reading notes: Alain Badiou
I've just finished reading Alain Badiou's Being and Event, a somewhat weighty tome that excited and frustrated me in equal measure. The exciting parts were the numerous philosophical insights that seemed to confirm and extend various vague intuitions I had held for some years, to an extent that no other work of philosophy so far has. The frustrating parts were the ones in which Badiou attempted to demonstrate the logic of these insights using a mathematical language that remained, despite the author's best efforts and patient encouragement, mostly beyond my ability to grasp.
The book can be thought of as an attempt to address two key questions, upon which the whole of Western philosophy arguably hinges. These questions are, "how is there something rather than nothing?" (the question of being) and "how do things change?" (the question of time). For Badiou, it seems that these two questions are fundamentally linked. However, the second question for him seems to be not so much related to time as we normally think of it, as to a notion he calls the event. By this he doesn't mean any old everyday occurrence: Badiou's event seems rather like a pebble tossed into a pond, sending out ripples that disrupt the whole surface of a situation, with profound consequences for being.
In order for something to be, an event must occur within the bounds of a situation; it is by means of a certain fidelity to this event that a thing could be said to have being. However, the event is undecidable in terms of the situation, and it is the fidelity of being to the event that decides, purely as an intervention in the form of a wager, whether the event in fact occurs or not. And so we end up with the following formulation:
"The 'there is' of the subject is the coming-to-being of the event, via the ideal occurrence of a truth, in its finite modalities." 1
What Badiou appears to be saying here is that subjectivity is the outcome of a procedure (a "truth procedure", as he calls it), through which an event comes to be by way of a being-faithful to its having happened. All of which may sound completely arcane and obscure, though perhaps it is possible to detect, lurking behind these words, the silencing of all those arguments we used to have regarding subjectivity versus objectivity. As it happens, the sentence quoted above, and the book in general, reminds me of something once uttered by the author Andreï Makine in an interview I first read in the early Noughties, and transcribe here from memory:
"Think of all the years we [writers] spent agonising over questions such as: what is it that I must say? and in what way?. All of this is now forgotten. And what are we left with? A handful of moments, moments of love and of beauty [and, Badiou would add, of politics and of science]. And only through them do we rediscover the truth."
Badiou, Alain. Being and Event, trans. Oliver Feltham, p.456. Bloomsbury Revelations.) ↩

Individuals with ADD seem to have a greater frequency of extreme temperamental characteristics, those inborn behavioral response patterns that shape how an individual approaches and responds to life's events and circumstances.
The most common temperamental extremes identified in individuals with ADD appear to be high activity level, low threshold of response, high intensity of reaction, negative mood, slow adaptability, short persistence, and unpredictability of basic bodily functions such as eating, sleeping, and bowel habits.
This means that people with ADD tend demonstrate a short fuse, a low frustration tolerance, a tendency to demonstrate temper outbursts, and difficulty adjusting to change. In addition, they often seem more excitable, sensitive, cranky, and unpredictable.
Why is it that so many individuals with ADD seem to have extreme temperaments?
It may be that individuals with ADD come into the world with a greater number of these temperamental extremes. However, it is also possible that these behaviors seem to be more common in individuals with ADD because their attentional differences interfere with their awareness of and ability to control these built-in personality characteristics.
That is, it may be that extremes in temperament such as high activity level, high intensity, low threshold, negative mood, slow adaptability, and short persistence occur just as frequently in the non-ADD populations as in the ADD population.
In order to exert control over these temperamental characteristics, an individual must be aware of his extremes, monitor his behavior, and develop effective ways to keep his extremes in check. As this requires efficient monitoring, problem-solving, vigilance, and impulse control, it is likely that individuals with ADD will struggle with their temperament more frequently and as a consequence, demonstrate these characteristics more often.
What's your experience with ADD and Extreme Temperaments? Do you or a loved one fall strongly on one end or another of the temperament spectrum? The Being Well Center follows The Being Well System, which looks beyond the symptoms of ADD/ADHD to take into account a person's in-born temperament traits. Treating the whole person is crucial to a successful ADD/ADHD treatment. Talk to your doctor or care provider about your temperament traits.

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all enjoying your long holiday weekend.
This week at INCY WINCY Designs we have a great fun challenge for you.
No birthday, anniversary, Christmas, etc. It MUST be a funny holiday taken from this website
Our generous sponsor for this week is
Here is my card to celebrate May 6th No Diet Day.
I am already looking forward to this day as today I am starting a strict healthy eating campaign to lose weight for a forthcoming wedding.
A day dedicated to raising awareness of how unhealthy dieting can be harmful, or respecting and accepting body types, and promoting healthy eating rather than dieting. No Diet Day aims to help to teach people to have a healthy relationship with food, and to ditch restrictive diets and the harmful results they often have, such as anorexia and body-type perceptions in the media.
The image is Cupcake Monkey.
The Papers are from the Nitwit Collection Time for tea
The ribbon and gems are from stash.
The card shape was cut on my Silhouette from a template I bought here.
The sentiment was made using a Little Claire's Stamp here.
Have fun with this challenge, and remember to hop over to see my fellow DT members creations.
Enjoy the rest of the holiday.

Build 2015 – Impressions so far (Windows and Windows Phone)
יום רביעי, מאי 6, 2015
Look at that, a year has passed since my last blog post. Those last posts were summarizing //Build 2014// and this one will summarize //Build 2015//, so easy for you to follow dear reader. (If you really want to hear more than my blog, I urge you to follow me on twitter, where I tweet my thoughts rather carelessly ). This year's Build was different. Unlike Build 2014 which was a complete continuation of Build 2013. To give you an example, one of the great introductions of Build 2014 was the "Shared Project" feature, this is no longer needed as the reason it...

Bad Breath
Cold Sore
Denture Discomfort
Sensitive Teeth
In most cases, sensitive teeth is caused by exposed dentin, the layer next to the enamel. A lot of things can cause dentin to be exposed. One most common is improper toothbrushing method. Too much pressure applied during toothbrushing using a hard bristled toothbrush causes abrasion on the enamel layer, exposing the dentin layer beneath it. Most common example of this is cervical abrasions, found in the "neck" portion of the tooth crown.
The tooth can also be bruised or abraded fom dntal instrumentations, especially after a restorative procedure. Accidental biting on hard substances can also bruised the tooth.
Another cause of tooth sensitivity is exposure of the root portion of the tooth due to gingival recession.
There are specialized toothpaste that claims to have a desensitizing action. There action is to seal tubules found in dentin. Use this toothpaste on your regular toothbrushing schedules.
Use a soft bristled toothbeush so as not to aggravate your teeth's condition. While using soft bristled toothbrush, you stil need to lighten your brushing strokes.
Smoking can cause gum recession, and if gums recede, root surfaces are exposed which are usually sensitive parts of the tooth. You may not just suffer from tooth sensitivity from smoking' you can also have gum problems which may eventually progress inot periodontitis.
Acidic food are not friendly to your enamel, especially when it is bruised. They eat up enamel structure and eventually exposed the sensitive dentin beneath it.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Identifying pigmented moles that look different from a person's other moles -- the "ugly duckling sign" -- is a practical way to spot malignant melanoma skin cancer, doctors say.
The ugly duckling model is based on the observation that moles, or "nevi," in the same individual tend to resemble one another and that malignant melanoma often deviates from the individual's mole pattern, "even in those with multiple atypical nevi, Dr. Ashfaq A. Marghoob, of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, and associates explain in the Archives of Dermatology this month.
Marghoob's group studied the ability of 34 adults with varying levels of expertise to identify ugly duckling moles in patients with several atypical moles. The participants were 8 pigmented mole experts, 13 general dermatologists, 5 dermatology nurses, and 8 non-MD medical staff members.
The observers were presented with overview photographs of the back, as well as close-up images of individual moles, from 12 patients who had 5 malignant melanomas, at least 8 atypical moles and 140 benign pigmented moles.
All 5 melanomas and 3 benign moles were perceived as different by at least two thirds of the participants, Marghoob and his associates report.
Identification of the ugly duckling showed good diagnostic accuracy for the detection of malignant melanoma skin cancer, even among non-MDs, the investigators report.
The usefulness of the ugly duckling method in malignant melanoma skin cancer screening by general health care providers and lay persons "should be further assessed," the investigators conclude.

Review: The Game Plan (2014)
The number of football executives - and let's exclude coaches from that description - who have been become relatively well-known for their work to the sport's public at large is extremely small. The names of general managers may pop up frequently in hometown stories, but few make the jump to national figures.
There are only a few exceptions, and the biggest is Bill Polian. Football writers have awarded the NFL Executive of the Year title since 1993, and Polian has won it four times. Only a couple of others have won the award more than once.
Mix that fact with the fact that Polian currently works as an analyst with ESPN, and you have a nationally known figure on the sports stage. Even though he might not be done working for a team, this seems like a good time for him to write a book. Apparently even Polian agreed, as he has written a book on his football experiences called "The Game Plan."
The story essentially concentrates on the football portions of Polian's career. Don't look for many stories about his family, because they aren't there. While there are references to Polian's career before he arrived in Buffalo, the story essentially begins there. But there are, naturally, plenty of references to football philosophy - as promised by the subtitle - along the way.
As an example, Polian outlines what he wanted when he went searching for a head coach. The needed skills include organization, leadership, communication, emotional stability, vision, strategy, flexibility, ability to judge talent, public relations, earning player respect, and character. That's a long list, and Polian adds plenty of related questions under each area. But you've have to say the formula works for him. He did pick Marv Levy and Tony Dungy, among others. Levy is in the Hall of Fame and Dungy probably will be.
There are other insights into building a football team here. There are some good examples at how important it is to find players who fit into specific systems, and how salary cap management is far more important than many would have thought. For example, quarterbacks can make staggering amounts of money in a given year, particularly a veteran like Peyton Manning. They are worth it, but sometimes a team gets lucky with a young and thus cheaper quarterback. Think of Russell Wilson of the Seahawks, who surprised everyone with his play. Wilson isn't making superstar money yet, and thus Seattle had extra dollars to spread around the rest of the roster. That was crucial in its Super Bowl season of 2013-14, and will be helpful until Wilson starts to get the paydays he no doubt deserves.
Still, football fans want to read behind-the-scenes stories about their favorite game, and Polian has plenty of them here. A good portion of the book (more than expected, really) is devoted to his time in Buffalo. If there had been an executive of the year award back then, Polian certainly would have added to his hardware collection for his work with the Bills. He tells about working his way into the general manager's job in 1985, when the franchise was in even worse shape than most thought, and putting together the pieces for the team that went on to appear in an unmatched four straight Super Bowls.
It's great fun to reach at length about negotiations with Jim Kelly, the Hall of Fame quarterback who had started his career in the United States Football League. Kelly wasn't anxious to come to Buffalo, and the talks were difficult. But eventually the quarterback landed with the Bills and went on to 10 great years there. There's also some good details about the trade for Cornelius Bennett, part of a three-way swap that sent Erik Dickerson to the Colts. Polian got one look at Bennett at a practice upon the linebacker's arrival in Buffalo, and told a friend that Bennett was "Mickey Mantle in football cleats."
The Bills never did reach their final goal of being Super Bowl champions, but Polian certainly writes as if he loved the building process immensely. He hands out plenty of credit to other staff members in the Bills' organization along the way - names that will be remembered in Buffalo but in few other places. Just as an example, Kay Stephenson is not exactly an icon because he took over as head coach just after Chuck Knox had left after the 1982 season and the team was headed into a serious decline. Polian joined the Buffalo front office, and he credits Stephenson for some lessons he learned along the way - including one that says it's always correct to do what's best for the franchise, even if it's not strictly in your best interests.
After an unexpected departure from Buffalo - Polian admits he could have handled the internal politics better there - it was on to a brief stop in the NFL office and then to start up the Carolina Panthers franchise. That team decided to try to be respectable in a hurry, and it succeeded in part because it could attract quality free agents.
Then it was on to Indianapolis. Considering Polian's time with the Colts was long and successful, the stories in the book are a little underplayed. However, the most fateful decision in recent football history is well covered. That's when the Colts had the top overall draft choice and needed a quarterback. The decision came down to Peyton Manning vs. Ryan Leaf. Polian and his staff got that one right, as Manning became an all-time great and Leaf washed out in no time. In the initial interviews, Manning arrived with a number of questions for the Colts' staff. Leaf didn't even show up.
The book can be a little technical in a few spots, and it's easy to wonder why the departures from Carolina and Indianapolis are reviewed so briefly. Still, Polian comes off as an interesting and gracious character thoroughout. You can see why he was so good at what he did.
I was looking forward to reading this even before my old friend Vic Carucci came back to Buffalo to be a co-worker with me at The Buffalo News. I won't give this a rating here now because of that connection. Still, I believe most football fans will find what's between the covers of "The Game Plan" to be quite a interesting peak behind the curtain of how a football team is really run. And if you followed the Bills during the glory years when Polian was running the team, you'll be riveted.

A big storm rolls in and since the women's shelter sucks, they end up cold and wet all night long, even though the men offered to let them sleep in their shelter. In the morning, they go over and warm up by the men's fire. Not all of the men are happy about that; Matt in particular seems pissed.
For the Reward Challenge, they have to look at a series of items, and then run back and recreate the tableau before their opponent does. First team to five points wins. The women jump out to a three point lead, and then Kat and Troy compete. After seven tries, Kat actually gets it right. And then Christina finishes it off for the women, and the men get skunked. The women win a full fishing kit along with a canoe and paddles.
After the challenge, it's once again cold and rainy and the women beg the men for an ember, which they get. But the men are getting tired of giving handouts, especially Colton, who complains about never getting anything from the women. Except the Hidden Immunity Idol, which he seems to have forgotten about. The other men want to be able to take out the canoe, and the women say no, and are actually offended by the suggestion. Later, the women manage to catch some small fish with their new equipment, which helps their moods.
For the Immunity Challenge, six people are blindfolded and tied together in pairs. One caller has to lead them through a maze to water towers, which will be knocked over, releasing puzzle pieces. Once all of the pieces are collected, the caller has to put together the puzzle. First team with a completed puzzle wins.

Bulls are tough. They must be to withstand the abuse they can give each other when fighting. Though they're durable, bulls do occasionally get injured, and it can be frustrating to have a good bull out of action when there's work to be done. You can't prevent all the accidents, but you can minimize the risk.
Bulls that exist reasonably well together in winter become competitive when there are cows to breed. Len McIrvin, who runs horned Herefords near the Canadian border at Laurier, WA, raises some purebred bulls for his operation and turns out 130 bulls on range. He says he sees a few broken legs. Most of the injuries, however, are stifled bulls and bulls with broken penises.
"We try to use younger, lighter bulls on heifers," McIrvin says. "This reduces the risk of broken penises. You get more injuries with bigger, heavier bulls trying to breed heifers."
McIrvin says injuries due to fighting can be minimized if bulls that will be turned out together for breeding can be wintered together first.
"The pecking order's already established and they're not likely to fight so much or so hard," McIrvin says. "If you keep bulls separated during the off season, they spend more time fighting when you finally put them together. An older bull, especially, has trouble if he's been kept separate."
Another problem McIrvin sees during breeding season is bulls with eye problems.
"With our dry desert range conditions we have dust, cheatgrass seeds and pinkeye problems. A bull with a blind eye is at a disadvantage when fighting and may become injured. Management to control flies and pinkeye can prevent some of these problems," he says.
If a rancher doesn't have to breed on range with all the bulls running together, there are more options to prevent the kind of fighting that results in injuries, McIrvin points out. On his ranch in Idaho, the cows are bred in April in small breeding groups of one to three bulls per group before going to the range.
"We select closely related bulls that are compatible, with a pecking order already established, such as bulls of different ages. The younger ones rarely challenge the older ones. By contrast, evenly matched bulls spend most of their time fighting or trying to keep each other from breeding.
Make Sure Bulls Are Fit Greg Shaw, Shaw Cattle Co., Caldwell, ID, says they have few injuries with their purebreds since they only turn out one bull to a pasture. "When turning out bulls for breeding, make sure they're in proper condition, physically fit and not overweight," he says. "And when possible, have a short breeding season and don't leave bulls with cows all summer."
Once the breeding activity slows down, bulls have nothing better to do than spar and look for trouble. Fighting tends to increase when bulls are "unemployed."
Last fall, Sam McKinney, a Salmon, ID, rancher who runs Angus cows bred to Limousin bulls, had two bulls break a hind leg in separate accidents. He had to butcher both of the three-year-olds. The injuries happened after the breeding season when the bulls were isolated from the cows.
"We had 14 bulls," McKinney says, "some yearlings and six, three-year-olds that were always sparring. I suspect two bulls were fighting, head to head with legs braced, and a third bull rammed one of them. I've never seen a broken leg occur from just normal fighting, but if a third bull hit them full force while that leg was braced, it can snap."
McKinney also says bulls may be coexisting peacefully until they're moved. "Then they always fight, using the disruption to take advantage of one another," he says.
Lynn Thomas has seen the same problem moving groups of bulls on his Salmon, ID, ranch. "We no longer trail them because of the continual fighting. It's a danger to the bulls, the horsemen and the fences along the way. So we now haul them."
Paul Marinoni, Jr., runs 250 commercial cows in a spring and fall calving cycle on his Fayetteville, AR, ranch. In his 12-bull battery, he says that he loses one or two bulls each year due to fighting injuries.
"Keeping the bulls in individual pens would help, but maintaining 12 separate pens would be quite a task," Marinoni says. "I'd like to see someone develop some type of electric shock device to be worn on the bulls' foreheads and secured by a halter that would be triggered by the compression of the bull's head against another bull or object," he says.
"A halter with cups over the bull's eyes to act as blinders so that he could only see in the direction of his nose might help as well. But, whatever the answer is, a solution would save cattlement a lot of money," he says.
Preventing Injuries To avoid freak off-season accidents remove hazards and obstacles in bull lots, says Duane Mickelsen, a bovine reproduction specialist at Washington State University. That means old fences, fallen trees, feeders in bad locations, etc., he says. In addition, dirt is always better than concrete in a bull lot, even though concrete is nice for cleaning.
"Concrete gives poor footing and contributes to a lot of injuries. Deep mud can be a problem but can be beneficial when bulls are fighting because they wear out quicker and will quit fighting sooner," Mickelsen says.
Mickelsen recommends that bulls be as physically fit as possible to avoid injuries due to fighting.
"Young bulls just coming off test may look great but they're pampered, fat and more apt to be injured," Mickelsen says. "Keep them separate for a time from other bulls and in an area where they're forced to do some walking. Young bulls are like young football players - they're easily injured until they get in shape."
McIrvin says fitness and experience are crucial. "It's important for young bulls to live together and learn how to fight and protect themselves. A bull that hasn't experienced the rough and tumble of sparring for pecking order is a prime candidate for injury."
Mickelsen advises producers not to put one new bull in with a group. "If bulls must be mixed, it's better to add several at once, so no one individual has to bear the whole brunt of fighting."
He also says horned bulls confined together in small areas can be big trouble. A cornered bull can be seriously hurt. Horned and polled bulls can be together without problems if the bulls have room to get away from one another.
McIrvin suggests sawing off part of the horn (about half) when bulls are yearlings so they're not as apt to break a horn later. "Broken horns can really set bulls back," he says. There is also danger of a bull bleeding to death when a horn is broken off while fighting.
The worst injury McKinney has seen was an older bull trying to fight a younger, stronger one. "The older bull had been whipped before and wouldn't quit. He apparently just stood there braced and pushing until he snapped both stifles. He was totally crippled."
To avoid this kind of problem (muscles stronger than bones), Mickelsen recommends good nutrition for bulls and adequate minerals in the diet to build and keep bones strong.
He also emphasizes the importance of good conformation and soundness. More injuries occur when bulls have poor hind leg conformation, especially post-legged (hind legs too straight, no angulation in stifles and hocks). Sickle-hocked bulls with too much angle in their hind legs also tend to break down, he says.
Greg Shaw, of Shaw Cattle Co., agrees. "The first criteria for reducing risk of injury is to select bulls that are structurally sound," he says. "That means strong, well-formed legs and joints, proper leg angles and adequate bones. They're as important in a bull as muscling and feed efficiency."

Yelena Isinbayeva joins new RUSADA supervisory board
"The Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) has nominated Isinbayeva as a member of the RUSADA supervisory board," the head of the ROC's legal department, Alexandra Brilliantova, told TASS.

After setting 28 world records, collecting two Olympic gold (Athens 2004, Beijing 2008) and one bronze medal (London 2012), Isinbayeva announced her retirement from professional sports last August during the Rio Olympics, where she could not compete due to a blanket ban on the Russian track and field team.
It was also announced on Tuesday that the board will include seven members.
"Until March 9 everything will be formalized, the members will be announced and the board will start its work. Today is the birthday of new RUSADA," the head of the Russian Paralympic Committee, Vladimir Lukin, told TASS.
"The board will work on organizational matters," he added.
In the wake of the Russian doping scandal, in November 2015, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) suspended RUSADA from carrying out doping control within the country, but later provided them with a road map to re-compliance.
Among other things, one of the key points for restoring RUSADA's credibility involved the work of international experts in the agency.
The positions were filled with Australian Peter Nicholson, who specializes in international criminal investigations, and Ieva Lukosiute-Stanikuniene from Lithuania, director of the Lithuanian Anti-Doping Agency and Chair of the Council of Europe Advisory Group on Education.

VAU represents a collection of design objects for your home and office. Inspired by universal symbols, VAU products combine function and aesthetics in a way that lets you experience everyday objects anew.
We find inspiration in universal symbols that extend through diverse aspects of life, from nature, geometry, spirituality to art, e.g. concentric circles, pyramids, the golden ratio and duality. Integrated into functional everyday objects these bring wonder into everyday rituals.
By combining function and symbolism, we create new shapes, minimal and characteristic. Our goal is to create timeless products that transcend trends. The energy of a space and the objects within it affect us. We believe there are those who support us in creating harmony and expressing ourselves on a deeper level.
VAU products are made out of solid metal. We produce them by combining both traditional and modern manufacturing technologies. Each single piece involves careful manual work by our craftsmen. All products are made in-house, in our own workshop in Zagreb, Croatia (EU). This enables us to oversee the entire production process and take care of each single detail. All of us have a responsibility for creating the world we live in which is why we care about what we do and how we do it. To us doing business in a socially responsible way means to respect employees, clients, suppliers, the environment and the broader society we are part of.
But actions speak louder than words. Our workshop is therefore both ISO 9001: 2008 (quality) and ISO 14001: 2004 (environmental protection) certified. In addition, we regularly undergo a 4 pillar audit by two of the leading supplier sustainability rating organisations, EcoVadis, France, and Sedex, UK. The 4 pillars relate to human rights/labour practices, environmental protection, sustainable procurement and fair business practices.
All our products are made from metal of the highest quality, with hand-finished details. The final manufacturing step is tailored to each individual product, in order to emphasise its particular shape. It enables us to achieve a classic, timeless look. Craftsmen personally inspect each product in order to assure it has been manufactured to our quality standards.
VAU has been brought to life in-house, by us here in PES. As PES we have been producing unique metal objects for more than 25 years now. VAU has a special significance for us, as it represents the next step in our development and we are proud of our first collection. For us the whole process of conceptualising, designing and manufacturing the VAU products has been a great adventure. We hope you will enjoy using these products as much as we have while creating them.

National Resilience as the Basic Capital of National Development
In 2013 the United Kingdom published Preparation and Planning for Emergencies: The National Resilience Capabilities Program (NRCP): The National Resilience Capability Program. The program is a blueprint prepared to respond to emergencies and references in the face of crisis. It is implemented by building the capability to deal with the consequences of any emergency, whether caused by accidents, natural disasters, or emerging from human threats.This capability involves a number of relationships and Dependence between factors such as the readiness of the number and type of personnel, equipment and equipment required, adequate training and training, clear and measurable planning, and other relevant matters.
The purpose of NRCP is to identify challenges and to monitor the current level of capabilities of each affordable element within a defined workstream. There are at least 22 government departments responsible for the implementation of the framework. The Civil Contingencies Secretariat (CCS) will be responsible for the overall management and implementation of the program. While the National Resilience Capabilities Program Board (NRCPB) together with relevant ministries and Prime Ministers as chairman of the National Security Council will assess the capabilities that have been achieved.
What goes on in the UK is an implementation of the National Resilence concept. Government agencies take a real and operational role based on a workstream or framework by enhancing the institutional capability of preparing, responding and recovering to emergency situations affecting the country. National Treasury becomes an operational concept and is focused on issues of state capability in the face of emergency . Although impressed National Resilience just becomes a kind of rapid responsesnegara to civil emergency that can happen anytime, at least National Resilience a concept whose implementation can be measured in real and operational.
In Indonesia, the concept of National Resilience has a more complex dimension because it involves all aspects of the life of the nation and the state related to the tenacity, toughness and ability to develop and live all the potentials of life, face all threats and challenges, and achieve its national goals. National Resilience is intended to support the success of the main tasks of government such as the creation of social order and law enforcement, realizing prosperity and prosperity, the implementation of defense and security, realizing legal justice and social justice, and creating opportunities for people to actualize themselves.
National Resilience is the mainstream to synergize the mindset of all components of the nation, as well as the workstream reference to act and work to counter all threats, challenges, obstacles and disturbances known as ATHG, develop the nation's potential strength, and coordinate inter-related sectors as input for government in formulating policy And the development strategy reaches its national goals. The potential national powers include natural aspects (geographical, population and natural resources), as well as social (ideological, political, economic, socio-cultural, and defense and security) aspects. The overall potential of national power therefore needs to be managed with the right mainstream and workstream so as to support all government policies.
Experience the New Order and the Challenges of Today
Beginning with its power, the New Order promised a national development to improve the welfare as antithetical to the economic crisis of the Old Order. The problem was that the New Order was faced with a highly unstable political reality and full of conflict due to political fragmentation of the flow. It was a major obstacle in the government's effectiveness to And implement the national development policy. This is the underlying paradigm of national development of the New Order which places the stabilization of social and political stability as an important prerequisite that must be met in implementing national development. The creation of socio-political stability is then followed by a security approach supported by repressive tools that eventually create a government Authoritarian and undemocratic.
The stabilization of socio-political stability as a foundation of this national development in the right momentum is also supported by the country's expansion in the abundant natural resources industry. Oil and Gas became a prima donna in the 1970s-1980s when booming happened. Oil and gas revenues surpassed targets amid the global oil crisis after Middle Eastern countries are pressing production. The New Order also opens itself to foreign investment flows as a shortcut to access capital to accelerate national development. Organized social political stability, abundant natural resources and The increase in foreign investment then became the capital for a monolithic New Order government to develop and implement national development policies.
The reversal of the New Order policy took place when this monolithic power began to be affected by power diseases. The English classical philosopher Lord Acton said power tends to corrupt, absolute power absolutely corrupt, the power tends to deviate, let alone unattended power effectively, must diverge. The stabilization of socio-political stability develops into repressive freedom and merely support for hegemony of power, the natural resources industry is full of corruption and foreign control, foreign investment creates an overwhelming dependence and foreign debt. In fact, when the current global economic recession occurred in late 1997 Indonesia collapsed due to the state Inefficient government, corrupt governments and accumulated foreign debt. This proves how Indonesia's National Security is very fragile due to the lack of power dissolved in its domestic interests.
Now, after the reforms all experience openness, both political, economic, social and cultural. A very liberal democracy permeates all the joints of nation and state life. The political system becomes highly fragmented in so many political parties, the synergy between state institutions becomes a competitive check and balances, coalition versus opposition, politics being transactional and commodified. The national system of government is decentralized and presents local rulers who like little monarchs in the region. The new oligarchs have sprung up in economics and politics. The ideology of the state is faced with an open space of contestation among global ideologies in a liberal political system.
Domestic changes occur so quickly as a consequence of the changing world trend. Behind it, hiding global interests are intruding in the name of the universalism of democratization and the modernization of the world. The purpose of this single power is to create a relation of dependence and control of the strategic resources of the fragile state of its National Resilience. As we know, many strategic sectors in Indonesia such as banking, mineral and mining resources, oil and gas, telecommunications and other important sectors in the mastery and The dominance of foreign capital. The country seems powerless because it is in the power of foreign interest. Therefore, it is important to re-strengthen the National Resilience and formulate the right strategy to make its implementation more effective, directed and measurable.
Operationalization of National Resilience
Based on the National Resilience Measurement Laboratory Assessment in 2016, the National Resilience Index is 2.60 or up from 2.55 in 2015. This index is obtained by calculating index of eight gatra (natural aspect or geography, population and natural resources, and aspect of ipoleksosbudhankam). Lowered to 108 variables and 821 indicators. Composite index in the range 1-5, where index 1 shows National Resilience in a prone position, index 2 less tough, index 3 is tough, index 4 is tough and index 5 is very strong. The declining index of natural wealth, ideology and socio-cultural, others have increased particularly the security defense that reached the index of 3.08 or quite tough.
The findings prove Indonesia's National Resilience in a vulnerable position, less resilient in maintaining the existence and achievement of national goals. Governance of important aspects of National Resilience needs to revitalize fundamentally to support national development. It begins by reinforcing three important aspects: first, strengthening resilience The ideology of Pancasila from every threat of radical ideology such as extreme fundamentalism, liberalism-capitalism, communism and others. Secondly, strategic natural wealth for national interests must be restored to the control of the state in order to improve the welfare of the people. Third, strengthen the internalization of noble values in various social institutions And mass culture products. Society should be strengthened by dialogical ability among social groups, re-identify and develop various existing social wisdom as cultural strategy to counter the penetration of foreign culture that is contrary to nation norm and state ideology. Therefore, more operational, directed and measured blueprint is needed to assess governance So that these aspects of national strength can be used to realize national development.
Blueprint National Resilience should be placed within the framework of evaluation of factual reality, perceptions of the latest threats and the vision of achieving national goals. This flueprint is an operational and mandatory mainstream and workstream at the level of the superstructure of state power. Without it, it is difficult to provide an assessment of the extent to which the state has taken a role in developing National Resilience as a prerequisite in national development. The National Sustainability must be reflected in all programs, policies and behaviors of state power so as to assess its achievements and accountability. Every state institution, both central and local, should be clearly responsible and take a role in ensuring the implementation of the National Security blueprint. Similarly, community infrastructure such as civil society, NGOs, and community groups should be encouraged to carry out their obligations as citizens to participate in strengthening National Resilience.
Simply put, the British experience has shown how the concept of National Resilience is implemented measurably at the institutional level of the state, with the stated goals and significance of overcoming the emergency as a threat to the existence of the state. It is therefore an urgent agenda for Indonesia to make fundamental changes to Implementation of the National Resilience concept. Without effective change, undoubtedly not only the diminished aspects of natural wealth, ideology, and social culture, other aspects will wait for time to break if not fixed immediately. The institutional role at the political superstructure level is important because it will be a guidance for the level of political infrastructure or the community in taking the role of operationalizing the National Resilience concept so that it can support and become the basic capital of national development.

Vincent Kartheiser's Home Pictures
This Mad Men Star Is Selling His 580-Square-Foot Home For How Much?!
While you might expect Vincent Kartheiser (aka Mad Men's Pete Campbell) to be living large, he has been doing the exact opposite in a 580-square-foot cabin in Hollywood. The real shocker? He recently listed it for $808,000 (the price-per-square-footage math might make your jaw drop)! Featured in Dwell's November Small Spaces issue, the home's small but smartly designed layout is well publicized. Between the coffee table that turns into a fireplace and the impressive suspended bed, there's a chance Kartheiser may get what he's asking for.
The private courtyard includes a sheltered seating area and fire pit. How gorgeous are the light-filtering screens?
Kartheiser raises his suspended bed every morning to make even more room during the day. The bed's pulley system includes a 300-pound steel weight that's concealed in his closet!
In the living room, an Eames lounge chair and ottoman add a cool midcentury vibe — possibly the only overlap between Kartheiser and his '60s-era character.
We couldn't help but notice one of our favorite space-saving products hanging outside — a wooly pocket planter!

For those folks who grew up with WXPN in the 80's, you definitely remember that phrase. But we aren't talking about the band today, no kids, we are talking about a new brewery. Stickman Brewery is located in the old Sly Fox building in Royersford. The front of the building became the Lucky Lab, which turns out wasn't that lucky after all. This Saturday afternoon at 1 however, Stickmen will open it's doors to a thirsty public. But if you try going in the old Lucky Lab doors, you're still out of luck. Here is a brief synopsis from this morning Facebook chat about a few things you need to be aware of.
" Hey there! Entrance in the back where the ramp and brown awning are. Eventually beer will be to go, but due to us experimenting (and still working out the kinks) with some champagne style carbonation in some of the bottles, and a general lack of inventory produced we can't do take out just yet. Cash and cards are both good for us! Thanks for the interest, we'll see you this weekend!"
For those who haven't been over that way, it will be on North 10th Avenue side .Next to the workout center. Beer distributor next door, with Primos and Veekoo nearby, this place is going to be a hit.
PS Damn that Santa, looks like he came through this time....
PSS Looks like anonymous owes me a beer or two

When Funds Are Better Than Stocks
Investing can be very frustrating and complicated – even for the most sophisticated investors.
Sometimes investors can be right about a market's direction, but get poor or even negative results because they used the wrong investment tool to exploit the deep value opportunity.
Unfortunately, with the explosion of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the constant lure of picking individual stocks, and the continued dominance of mutual funds, making choices seems to be getting harder rather than easier.
So I'm going to share an area of opportunity for capital gains, and then explain how I choose the best investment to increase the likelihood of success.
Taking Advantage of "Maximum Pessimism"
If you scour the world right now, most stock markets have had a pretty good run, so valuations seem pretty stretched. This includes markets in the U.S. and much of Asia, with the exception of Hong Kong and Singapore.
To me, this is a sign that I should be taking some profits off the table and deploying this capital to lagging, cheaper markets.
I do this for two reasons:
- Lower downside risk.
- Capture the inevitable rise of these beaten down markets as they rise.
This was the strategy of the legendary global investor Sir John Templeton, who scored consistent gains by looking for markets that most investors spurned.
I remember an occasion when, after a speech on investing, an attendee approached to ask him what part of the world looked good right now.
"Forgive me, but you are asking me the wrong question, you should be asking me where in the world it looks absolutely terrible," he said. Templeton called this finding stock markets mired in "maximum pessimism."
Just where is this pessimism right now?
A good bet is a Europe stuck in anemic growth, dysfunctional politics, ineffective monetary policy, and the looming threat of Britain leaving the European Union.
European markets usually trade at a discount to U.S. markets, but the numbers show that this discount has recently widened – significantly.
Aside from Spain and Denmark, all the continent's major markets are trading at significantly higher discounts to their usual relationship to U.S. market multiples.
Notably, Germany, which over the past 10 years has traded at an average 18% discount to the S&P 500 Index, now trades at a surprising 32% discount. This is a clear arbitrage opportunity, though it may take a bit of time to fully develop.
So now comes the moment of decision: Which investment tool should you use to take advantage of a Europe on sale?
The first step is to be realistic about your knowledge and abilities.
I'm very comfortable with Asia and emerging markets, but don't follow European stocks as closely. So it's probably a mistake for me to try to pick a couple of European stocks from a hat.
Any Europe ETF is the easy way to go, but do I really want just a basket of European stocks weighted by their market value? No thanks.
I like the idea of getting more bang for my buck by investing in smaller European stocks through an actively managed mutual fund such as the Invesco European Small Company Fund (ESMAX).
It's beginning an uptrend so far this year, and with 19% cash position, its portfolio manager has some dry powder to put to work on my behalf.
Now, let's zero in on Germany.
The iShares MSCI Germany ETF (EWG) is a possibility. But again, I'd prefer someone who follows this market every day trying to pick the winners, so I would go with a closed-ended fund – the New Germany Fund.
The New Germany Fund Inc. (GF) has a net asset value per share of $15.27, but is trading at $13.59 – an 11% discount.
It has outperformed its peers and focuses on traditional German strengths with 45% allocated to industrial and basic materials. Airbus is its top stock, with 12% of assets.
Find quality value, pick the right investment tool, and then show some patience. All will be well.
Good investing,
Carl Delfeld

It's deer season on the road, too
Staff writer
Oh, deer.
With deer-mating season, also known as "rut," peaking in mid-November, motorists should be "especially vigilant" in the upcoming weeks, according to a Kansas Highway Patrol release.
Motorists in Marion County bashed into deer 98 times in 2013. While health risk is relatively low in deer collisions — the state of Kansas had just six fatalities in 8,104 crashes in 2013, and just two Marion County collisions resulted even in injury — the property damage to vehicles is often severe.
Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism biologist Lloyd Fox said during rut, deer travel more and pay less attention to hazards like vehicles. Deer are known to travel in groups, so the sight of one deer crossing the road often foreshadows the approach of several others.
KDOT spokesman Steve Swartz said 14 percent of all traffic crashes in Kansas in 2013 involved deer.
Anyone involved in a vehicle-deer crash resulting in personal injury or property damage that totals or exceeds $1,000 is required to report the crash immediately to law enforcement.
KHP had the following tips for drivers to help avoid deer collisions:
- Be watchful at dawn and dusk; deer are particularly active then.
- Deer seldom travel alone.
- Reduce speed near wooded areas or parks and near water sources.
- Deer crossing signs indicate where high levels of deer-vehicle crashes have occurred in the past.
- Use brights to help detect deer as far ahead as possible.
- Don't swerve to avoid hitting a deer, as that increases likelihood of colliding with another car or an off-road obstacle, which is a more serious collision.

I felt horribly all day yesterday! Well until after this workout. It was Max Recovery! Thank goodness too, I don't think I would have made it if I would have had to do something else. I had a fever, a migraine, and I felt really nauseous! The only reason I did it is because I have a schedule to keep! Plus I don't want to let myself down. I was really suffering during the workout because everything I had to put my head down and come back up my head seemed to pound more. All of the plank work did not help either!
Surprisingly enough I actually did more of the plank stuff than I have before. It's driving me crazy because I noticed that my left arm has a little more definition than my right! That's just weird!! After I worked out and took a shower I took my temperature again and it had dropped and I was fine. I still had a slight headache, but it went away not too long after I ate.
It really is amazing how much a workout can do for you! It's crazy to me!
I can't wait to do some grocery shopping today to get healthy food again!
Seriously if I can workout when I have a fever and feel horrific, then no one else has any excuses!
Also I will hopefully have a car by the end of the day today/early tomorrow. I have a car that I have to wait until almost 6pm to see, but I am going around to the other small places and craigslist ads. Don't worry I have my Pepper Spray with me!

Once a private garden of the
Kensington Palace, the 275-acre Kensington
Gardens are located to the west of Hyde
Park. As the Kensington Gardens are also
adjacent to Green Park and St. James Park,
the four parks make a continuous "green
lung" in the heart of London.
Landscape architects Henry Wise and Charles
Bridgeman laid out the Kensington Gardens
from 1728-1738 and developed the Round Pond,
formal avenues and a sunken Dutch garden.
The Serpentine was created in the 1730s and
the part of it which flows in Kensington
Gardens is known as "The Long Water." There
are also four fountains and a number of
classical sculptures in the "Italian Garden"
area. The Kensington Gardens was formerly a
part of the Hyde Park, and the two are
bounded by West Carriage Drive (The Ring)
and the Serpentine Bridge. It also contains
the Elfin Oak, a 900—year old tree stump.
Kensington Gardens have become a reference
to a number of popular works of fiction.
A good example is J.M.
Barrie's "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens,"
a prelude to the character's adventures in
Neverland. It is also used in Thomas
Tickell's 1722 poem "Kensington Gardens"
and Ashley McClung's horror
novel, "The Beast." Other well
known gardens in the world are the
Haiku Gardens in Kaneohe,
Hawaii and the
St. Bernard Garden in
Miami Florida.
