For the debtor it is the pound of flesh that matters. As such debt should be taken very seriously as it has to be returned with a mark up. In case of being misspent it initiates a never ending crisis. After over six decades of financial mismanagement, today Pakistan is entrapped in an insurmountable debt trap. As Prime Minister (PM) Kaptaan seeks a debt free country. A debtor nation is unable to exercise its sovereignty. The big question is, can Pakistan untrap itself?
Till 1958 Pakistan had no external debt. The rulers and the ruled both lived within means. Life was straight and simple. The entire household slept through long summer nights with one pedestal fan only. Being the youngest in the family I usually slept without this man made luxury. The two meatless days were strictly observed. There were no freezers to store meat and consume later. Before Butt Sahib's indigenous deep freezer could hit the market the imported models were made available.
Loans, permits, monopoly, over-invoicing, under-invoicing were allowed for a selected few. Individual debt became national debt when loans were written off. Austerity was replaced with spending. Spend now pay later because the norm. When payment time came there was nothing in the kitty. State expenses went up while both revenues and performance declined. Despite declining exports, imports kept rising creating serious balance of payment crisis. Spending borrowed money on import of luxury goods is a recipe for disaster which was followed with a closed mind.
I remember the day when I was finishing my higher education in USA. Every graduating student received offers for credit cards and loans. It was a perfect trap to capture the future income of graduates, those who fell into this trap, spent their entire life paying it back. Unfortunately, Pakistan has also been trapped due to unscrupulous leadership that focused on short term luxury while compromising on long term impact with no planning for its repayment and retirement. Lack of revenue collection is a clear indication of failure of state. With over 47 types of taxes, collection is unmanageable. Pakistan has one of the slowest growing formal economy and the fastest expanding informal sector in South Asia. While the state only consumes, the non-state entities that are hidden from the system produce. It is a unique situation, one of the highest charity and lowest tax paying nations of the world.
No country has succeeded in fighting poverty through IMF- World Bank type loan programmes. Russia was able to pay back its Soviet era debt of $22 billion by first rescheduling its payments and then putting its house in order. Today the country is debt free. Iran had accumulated a foreign debt of about $20 billion due to the Iran-Iraq war. With strict austerity measures and increased oil revenues the Iranians were able to come out of the debt trap. Argentina followed a similar course to put its economy back on track. China relied on its own resources for development with focus on self-reliance and human resource development. Today the country has reserves running into trillions of dollars with no loans.
From zero external debt in 1958, it stands at $95 billion today. In the last decade more than $60 billion has been added with no plans to pay it back. Even the interest payments are not manageable. We stand at two extremes, Kaptaan desires to make Pakistan debt free while the state exchequer is empty. Due to the personal efforts of the PM, country has been able to avoid default by arranging the payments from friendly countries.
Task of raising revenue was assigned to the team. With choked non-performing state apparatus it could not be accomplished in a few months. As a result the easy way out of indirect taxes was applied resulting in spiralling of prices which hurt the common man. While the rich remain out of the tax net, the poor are made to carry the burden which is unfair and unwarranted. For its sovereignty a nation must learn to live within its income and resources. It must build on its strength while overcoming its weaknesses. There is a need to slash our import bill. Items like fuel, edible oil and tea can be drastically reduced through planned local production. Huge investments have been made in the Defence Production sector to produce armaments for nation's security. These technologies can be employed to produce commercial products like cars, bicycles, rickshaws etc. import of which consumes foreign exchange. Our natural resources remain untapped. Finally we have succeeded in extracting our coal to generate power. This black gold can be a game changer. A major coal based energy sector can be developed at Thar to produce power, gas, fertilizers, chemicals, clean liquid fuels etc.
The debt in Pakistan has been imposed to compromise our sovereignty. Dr Abdul Hafeez Sheikh has been brought in to tide through this tough transition to financial freedom. Self-reliance, austerity, simplicity, honesty has to be restored as it was till 1958. Liaquat Ali Khan the first PM announced his resolve of not building his own house till every Pakistani had a roof above his head. Imran Khan as the 22nd PM has decided to build homes for the downtrodden segments of the society. This era of artificial growth based on borrowing (1958 to 2018) must stop. As a nation we must come out of this debt trap to focus on nation building which was disrupted by unelected and manipulated leadership. Although, we were unable to become the first Asian Tiger, but it is never too late. Our missed chances of glory are still achievable provided the leadership remains on track. Debt is death for a nation, in order to move forward we must come out of this man made trap.

Grassroots nutrition education shares good farming and nutrition practice. Photo credit: alina, Flickr
A workshop titled "Innovative methods for measuring adoption of agricultural technologies: Establishing proof of concept and thinking about scaling up" was held on August 3-4 in Boston, USA following the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Agricultural and Applied Economic Association (AAEA). The event was jointly organized by Michigan State University, the Standing Panel on Impact Assessment (SPIA) of the CGIAR Independent Science and Partnership Council (ISPC), and the CGIAR Research Program on Policy, Institutions, and Markets (PIM). 44 participants from 28 public and private institutions showcased results from various pilot studies using new, innovative adoption measuring methods and discussed lessons learned.
The workshop program was designed to focus on technical aspects of the adoption measurement methods and their scaling-up potential in the developing world. Methodologies covered in the workshop sessions ranged from the conventional practice of experts' opinion elicitation method to DNA fingerprinting, remote sensing, ICT-based rapid survey, and surveys at informal markets. Participants also brainstormed on the most appropriate mechanism for institutionalizing the adoption measurement and the scope of outsourcing. While there was a lot of excitement about using the innovative new methods, participants critically examined each method's pros and cons and potential caveats to apply those in various commodities and countries. Scaling-up cost of each method was also discussed to ensure the practicality. Overall, participants agreed there isn't a silver bullet (yet); many more trials are needed for the research community to fully take advantage of these methodological innovations in practice. Another important agreement among participants was that there would be no short-cut. These new measurement method would not diminish the importance of good, reliable sampling frame (which can be certainly assisted by new advances in data science).
Workshop participants listening to a presentation
During the wrap-up session, many participants (especially those from CGIAR) proposed that SPIA continues convening this type of workshop in the future, possibly piggybacking on the annual AAEA conference. Colleagues were excited about how much they learned from interactions with their peers who work on the same issues but with different approach. All cheered each other to continue developing inspiring case studies and sharing their lessons learned.
The workshop overview is available below:

A car is a big investment, and not everyone can afford the upfront costs of purchasing one. Rather than not buy a car at all – which isn't a practical solution if you're due an upgrade – you can split your payments into more manageable chunks by taking out an auto loan.
An auto loan, or a car loan, is a loan that you take out which pays the upfront costs of a vehicle for you. You will then repay your lender based on the agreed terms, with added interest. Most loans will be secured by the cost of the vehicle, which means that if you fail to pay it back on time, your vehicle will be used as a form of payment to the lender.
Auto loans allow you to purchase a vehicle when you may otherwise have been unable to. Here are 6 reasons to take out an auto loan for your next car purchase:
1. Competitive interest rates
Because there are so many auto loan options to choose from, interest rates tend to be fairly low, especially if you have a good credit score. Take a look at loan comparison sites to make sure you get the best deal.
2. Flexibility with payments
Obviously, when you enter a loan agreement, it's with the expectation that you'll make your payments on time, but if you do find yourself in unexpected financial difficulty, there are plenty of auto loan lenders who will allow you to temporarily postpone a payment until you're ready to pay it.
3. Options for low credit scores
If you've got a low credit score, don't be quick to assume you won't be able to take out an auto loan. Take a look at the Best Bad Credit Auto Loans (Top 6 Lenders of 2019) if you have bad credit but need to finance a new car.
4. Improves your credit score
If you can pay your auto loan off as agreed, as with other loans and credit cards, it'll go on your credit report and improve your credit score. Some people take out auto loans with the sole purpose of enhancing their credit score, because providing you stick to the rules, it's a guarantee.
5. May include additional perks
This is where it pays to do your research: some auto loan providers will offer additional perks if you choose to take a loan out with them, like free servicing and road free tax. Ask about possible sign-up incentives during your initial conversation with a loan company.
6. For bigger purchases
When you're purchasing a car outright, you might not have the finances to really splash the cash on a newer or more expensive model. Taking out an auto loan allows you to pay your vehicle off over an extended period of time, so you won't feel such a big hole in your pocket from one entire payment. This will enable you to make a more expensive purchase should you wish to.

Steve's Windows machine updated to Windows 10 and now he has trouble connecting to his printer. Leo says that he may want to remove the printer, and then research it according to its name, not IP. He can also go into his router and reserve the IP address for his printer. Lastly, he should give his printer a static IP address and tell the router. But that's the worst case because it could affect the router assigning IP addresses on the network, called "IP Collision."

Amazon is seeking government permission to launch 3,236 broadband satellites that would cover nearly all of the United States and much of the rest of the world.
Amazon subsidiary Kuiper Systems filed its application with the Federal Communications Commission on Thursday last week, saying it intends to cover all of the US except most of Alaska.
"The Kuiper System covers the area between 56°N and 56°S latitudes," the Amazon subsidiary told the FCC. "Accordingly, customers throughout [the] continental US, Hawaii, and all US territories will have access to Kuiper System services. So too will customers in many other countries within the coverage area. The Kuiper System will not provide FSS [fixed-satellite service] in the majority of Alaska, however, because the state's high latitude is outside of the coverage area."

Quite Frankly George Anderson Is THE Anger Management Guru
What comes to mind when you think of anger management?
Some would describe anger management as a method to control one's emotions.
Others, like me, would think of Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler in the motion picture film Anger Management. A few years ago there was no right answer. Anger Management was just a term thrown around, and clearly, no one knew what it was. That was until George Anderson and his team of associates not only defined the term, but set the standard. Since then, Mr. Anderson and his team have never looked back.
Still never heard of Anderson and Anderson, eh?
The Anderson & Anderson program is internationally renowned, and, currently, they are the largest provider of certified Anger Management Facilitator training in the world.
George Anderson and his ideals have been featured in the New York Times, the Baltimore Sun News, the Toronto Sun News, ESPN, the Los Angeles Times Magazine, NBC's Starting Over, the Chicago Tribune, Entertainment Weekly, the London Sunday Times, BBC, and many more.
Along with his lifetime of accolades, Mr. Anderson shed his knowledge on Hollywood when he served as a technical consultant on the well-known green lit film, Anger Management. By now I'm sure you are starting to see the big picture.
Some of L.A.'s most elite make the drive down Wilshire Boulevard to work with George, proving that the Anderson & Anderson business model is one of L.A.'s most untapped resources.
Affiliates of Anderson & Anderson are popping up all over the internet like chicken pox. Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself. Currently there are over 75 web sites affiliated with the Anderson & Anderson business model and their merchandise.
Quietly, Mr. Anderson has become the godfather in a relatively uncharted industry. He has certified trainers mentored personally by himself all over the world, in countries like Argentina and London. Over time the business mogul of 12301 Wilshire Boulevard has set the bar as the most prominent anger management provider of the world, quite frankly in an industry that Mr. Anderson defined himself. So maybe next time when you think anger management, you will think Anderson & Anderson.

Words on Faith: Reflecting on the Season for Nonviolence
By Rev. Toni Fish
Published in Frederick News Post on March 2, 2019ca
Sitting in a window seat at 35,000 ft, the earth below, with its seashore, its rivers, its towns and cities, looks peaceful and in harmony. The little cotton ball clouds float gently in the space between the airplane and the ground. The bank of clouds on the horizon reminds me of the snow-covered ground I left behind in Maryland. As I gaze through the small square opening onto that "other" world, my heart beat slows; my mind stills; and my soul recognizes its deep longing for peace, for a state of being and doing that recognizes and honors the divine oneness of all things. And I ask myself, "where is that longing when I'm not gliding at 35,000 ft? Is it really absent from my soul? Or have I just trained myself to ignore it?"
We are now half way through the Season for Nonviolence, a season that began on January 30th, the anniversary of the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, and ends on April 4th, the anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This 64-day season was co-founded in 1998 by Arun Gandhi, the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, and Association for Global New Thought as an educational, media and grassroots campaign devoted to demonstrating the healing and transformative power of nonviolence in our lives and in our communities. Spiritually guided citizen leaders in 900 cities in 67 countries have participated since the campaign began in 1998.
In years past, here in Frederick, many of us have participated in the Season as a community, with a variety of movies, speakers, and discussion events throughout the 64 days. More recently, the participation has been more an individual congregational affair, if anything at all. And in all of these variations, it seems that we began by asking two sets of questions: the first, "What is violence and where do we learn about it?" and the second, "What is nonviolence and where do we learn about it?" Usually, the responses to the first questions were numerous and varied; the responses to the second set of questions were far fewer and much less specific. While those of us participating in the sessions may have sensed that there is another way to move through conflict, it is difficult to envision and describe how that might present itself because we do not have the cultural vision, the internal paradigm, or the vocabulary to do so. In choosing Gandhi and King, the co-founders of the Season for Nonviolence have given us amazing examples from whom we may find the "what" and "how."
Both men have shared in their writings and speeches that a major building block for their vision of nonviolence was the teachings of Jesus, particularly those lessons found in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 5: 38-42: 38 "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'[c] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you."
In these verses, we find a phrase that has served as a source of confusion about the meaning of nonviolence that has developed over the years: "do not resist an evil person." For many today, the definition of nonviolence has become almost solely non-resistance and passivity, with little emphasis on "standing firm in resistance, in love rather than violence."
In his book, The Powers that Be: Theology for a New Millennium, Walter Wink gives an insightful take on this: "The traditional [Christian] interpretation of "do not resist an evildoer" has been nonresistance to evil—an odd conclusion, given the fact that on every occasion Jesus himself resisted evil with every fiber of his being. The fifth-century theologian Augustine agreed that the gospel teaches nonresistance, and therefore declared that a Christian must not attempt self-defense.
Wink goes on to say "….But the gospel does not teach nonresistance to evil. Jesus counsels resistance, but without violence. The Greek word translated "resist" in Matt. 5:39 is antistenai, meaning literally to stand (stenai) against (anti). What translators have over-looked is that antistenai is most often used in the Greek version of the Old Testament as a technical term for warfare. It describes the way opposing armies would march toward each other until their ranks met. Then they would 'take a stand,' that is, fight.….In short, antistenai means more here than simply to "resist" evil. It means to resist violently, to revolt or rebel, to engage in an armed insurrection….Jesus is not telling us to submit to evil, but to refuse to oppose it on its own terms. We are not to let the opponent dictate the methods of our opposition. He is urging us to transcend both passivity and violence by finding a third way, one that is at once assertive and yet nonviolent."
Regarding this same scripture, Gandhi wrote in An Autobiography OR The Story of My Experiments with Truth that "…. Sermon on the Mount went straight to my heart." He understood that Jesus' words in Matthew meant that we are not to return evil for evil, that our response to evil should be good. He also understood that responding to the evil with goodness is a challenge always. In the teaching of Jesus to love your enemy, Gandhi found the Indian tradition ahimsa - nonviolence, nonretaliation and nonresistance.
Gandhi wrote in What Jesus Means to Me, "Your noncooperation with your opponent is violent when you give a blow for a blow and is ineffective in the long run. Your noncooperation is nonviolent when you give your opponent all in the place of just what he needs. You have disarmed him once for all by your apparent cooperation, which in effect is complete noncooperation."
Dr. King wrote in an article, My Pilgrimage to Nonviolence, published on September 1, 1958 in Fellowship:
"My study of Gandhi convinced me that true pacifism is not nonresistance to evil, but nonviolent resistance to evil. Between the two positions, there is a world of difference. Gandhi resisted evil with as much vigor and power as the violent resister, but he resisted with love instead of hate. True pacifism is not unrealistic submission to evil power, as Niebuhr contends. It is rather a courageous confrontation of evil by the power of love, in the faith that it is better to be the recipient of violence than the inflicter of it, since the latter only multiplies the existence of violence and bitterness in the universe, while the former may develop a sense of shame in the opponent, and thereby bring about a transformation and change of heart."
All three of these men – Jesus, Gandhi, and King - knew that the path they had chosen was not an easy one. They understood that if they practiced it correctly, had sufficient "press," and "stood firm" against a powerful force, violence, even death, would probably show up on their doorstep. And yet they persisted.
Now, after reading all of this, you might ask what does all this have to do with my soul's deep longing for peace? Sitting at 35,000 ft, again, staring out that small square opening on the journey home, I ask myself that same question. In answer to that question, I find only more questions. Do I have the understanding of ahimsa, of "love your enemy" sufficient within my being to stand firm against the Pharisees and Pilate with love in my heart? Could I walk through the crowd unprotected, with love and peace in my heart? Could I walk out onto that balcony in Memphis, with love and peace in my heart? Do I believe that Love can conquer all? I hope so. I affirm that it is so, for it is from that knowing, present down where I know how to grow fingernails, that soul peace is born. May it be so. Amen.

TAPs for Thermo Fisher
May 2013
SAN JOSE, Calif.Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has entered into a Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) agreement with scientists at the United Kingdom's University of Birmingham, with whom it will work to accelerate research in high-resolution accurate mass and triple quadrupole liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for life-science applications.
The partnership builds upon the University of Birmingham's Systems Science for Health initiative, which focuses on introducing a variety of life-science technologies into clinical research. It follows almost a decade of collaboration between the two organizations, and includes engaging in research, sharing samples and data that could lead to development of better techniques, exchanging ideas for improving instrument and software performance, ongoing conversations about current technology issues, promoting the training of graduate students and publishing new methodology and scientific advances.
The alliance will focus on two research areas. In the first, metabolomics, the Thermo Fisher Scientific team will work with the laboratories of Prof. Mark Viant and Dr. Warwick Dunn to develop and test new hardware and software approaches for metabolite detection and identification for environmental and clinical research. In the second, proteomics, the company will work with Dr. Helen Cooper's lab to exploit high-resolution mass spectrometry and gas-phase ion chemistry for top-down and bottom-up analysis of proteins.
"Top-down analysis uses MS/MS to analyze intact proteins," explains Martin Hornshaw, Thermo Fisher's European marketing manager of life-science mass spectrometry.
This is, Hornshaw says, inherently a sensitivity issue. Bottom-up analysis involves digesting proteins into peptides, which are used as surrogates for the proteins and for which MS provides very sensitive analysis.
"The University of Birmingham scientists share our drive to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer," says Iain Mylchreest, vice president, research and development at Thermo Fisher Scientific. "We look forward to a very productive collaboration with this innovative, creative group for advancing metabolomic and proteomic research."
"We are excited to become Thermo Fisher Scientific's first Technology Alliance Partner within Europe," says Prof. Adam Tickell, the university's pro vice chancellor for research and knowledge transfer. "We anticipate that innovations from this research will translate directly into improved healthcare and environmental diagnostics. We are particularly excited by Thermo Fisher's commitment to supporting graduate research."
Thermo Fisher Scientific's TAP program is an ongoing initiative to drive innovation through the sharing of ideas and expertise between a number of academic research laboratories and the company.
"TAP is basically a mechanism to formalize a relationship with scientists who are our good customers," explains Hornshaw. "Maybe they want to build larger, better capabilities or access cutting edge technology. Maybe we want to beta test something new and their expertise is important to us. In general, we provide hardware, software and/or consumables. Projects are defined by the university scientists. An example might be measurements of the biomarkers of disease. Also, they are looking at the biomarkers of environmental damage detectable in microorganisms."
In the United States, Thermo Fisher Scientific has similar programs in place with the Barnett Institute at Northeastern University in Boston and scientists at Princeton University.
"The University of Birmingham is our first European partner," Hornshaw notes, "and we are actively looking for others."

Shrusko ceramics are handmade of white clay which, when fired at high temperatures, get their characteristic creamy shades. The resulting pieces are reminiscent of salt dough and oven-baked cream, notable for their warm shades, soft curves and funny illustrations.
Before firing, each piece is hand-painted – a brush is held between the fingers, a palette rests on the side, and skilful strokes bring the piece to life. Nina, the artist behind the illustrations, draws her inspiration from everyday experiences. You can thus enjoy a little humour and some cutting remarks on both cups and plates, as well as night scenes with houses amidst clouds and many cats of different shapes and sizes.
All shrusko ceramics are suitable for regular use, as they are fired at 1240 oC, and thus they get their special name – stoneware. This material is solid, resists chipping and absorbs almost no water. It deserves loving care, but it can also be washed in a dishwasher. It is excellent for baking pastry in, but feels best in the palm of the hand when filled with tea or coffee.

Whether you are new to Scotland or just want to take on a bigger challenge, using a guide is great for enjoying a safe introduction to walks which suit your ability.
Scottish mountains present their own unique challenges. Our guided walks are led by knowledgeable professionals, who have an appreciation of the landscape, weather and points of interest along the way. It's also a good way to gain new skills or update existing ones.
The unique grandeur of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland plays host to some of the most varied and beautiful landscapes in the World. From Munros to historic glens to unspoilt coastlines there are routes for all levels of walking and mountaineering ability!
Kushi Adventures provide guided hill walking for small groups who wish to enjoy Scotland's mountains and wilderness areas. Kushi Adventures are aware of the growing interest in the Munros and the many classic routes through the Highlands of Scotland. Routes can be chosen by the client or we can advise on suitable areas based on the clients experience and the weather on the day.
You may need a guide for a route on a specific peak or you may want to visit several mountain ranges over a few days. Whatever your ambitions are - contact us and we will plan a guided mountain walking adventure to suit you.
As well as single mountain days we specialise in multi day camping expeditions.
Munros are the highest of Scotland's mountains, 284 mountain tops named after the man who first catalogued them, Sir Hugh Munro. The Munros have a height of over 3000 feet (914.4 metres)...
The Corbetts are the equivalent mountains with altitudes between 2500ft and 3000ft. whilst smaller in stature many Corbetts rival Munros for walking and climbing.
Climbing all the Munros or 'Munro-bagging' is a popular pursuit amongst the climbing and hill walking fraternity. The first recorded bagger to climb all the Munros was the Rev. A. E. Robertson in 1901 and since then, the Scottish Mountaineering Club has recorded over 2800 intrepid souls who have 'completed'.
Maximum normal guide to client ratio: 1:4 (Bigger group? - ask)

Why not learn more about Cigarettes?
Tips On How to Find Cheap E-Juice
An individual can be able to get the same amount of product that they want with the best quality at a lower price. This article contains some of the essential traits that an individual can use when he or she wants to get an amount of e-juice that they always wanted at a lower price.
Most of the time when you go to the shop and purchase item in stock you always offered a discount that can lower significantly the amount of money that you will be spending as compared when buying such products in small quantities. It is also essential for an individual to have enough money when purchasing e juice so that they are able to have bargaining power that is not limited by less cash.
For you to be able to get your preferred taste it does not mean that you need to spend a lot of money since you can get the mixing bowl in your kitchens and get what you want . One can decide to mix various types of flavours when they want to get the kind of tastes that makes them feels better, and this can be done without spending a lot of cash.
You will be able to reduce the shipping cost of the e-juice when you are able to buy it in bulk, and this will also reduce the overall cost of obtaining the e-juice. Every e-juice manufacturing company has its own cost and also quantity that is in their bottles, and this is why you should research thoroughly and make comparison so that you are able to find the ones that will be cost-effective to you.
Since you are an e-juice user or buyer it is crucial that you are always attentive and be updated about the e-juice companies because most of the time when they want to restock afresh they sure that they do away with their old stock and they achieve this by selling it at a much reduced priced. Most of the time the e-juice selling company keep on advertising their companies or them do promotion by offering discounts on their products, and one should ensure that they take advantage of this promotion so that we can get products that are of reduced price. It is also crucial that you try as much as you can to maintain on your most favourite kind of e-juice flavour because any attempts to go for the new flavours might end up being expensive in the long run.

For over a year my family have watched an incredible man who we love and depend on suffer a terrible illness. An illness that we know far too little about. An illness that not only causes physical pain but one that strips a person of themselves. My Dad – a strong, loving, highly intelligent and beautiful soul is physically with us, however mentally no longer himself. It was been heartbreaking to see this change and the pain in his eyes. Our amazing Mum has displayed unconditional love and stood by his side every single step of the way.
Seeing Dad so frail and a shell of himself has been so hard. I often question what he is thinking each time I try to hold his hand and watch him stare off into space. The brutal reality is that with mental illness people are already grieving. I am grieving for my Dad who we all miss so much. All I can do is hope and pray that in time we will get him back. Some days Dad will say something to me, or give me a look or a hug that is just like he was before. Although this can really upset me, as it reminds me of how much I miss him, it gives me hope.
After having two beautiful and very large babies over the past 4 years, I am now ready to get fit and back into some of my old clothes. Despite the fact my body has had to stretch dramatically to house Bonnie and then Charlie, I have held on to some clothes I wore when I was at my fittest. The eternal optimist!
I want to get fit, but more importantly I want to raise awareness for mental health and this charity. It is frightening to know how many people are affected by this illness. Sadly, mental illness is still a taboo subject. It can be very hard to understand.
I am really enjoying training for the 10k. I have lost 12 pounds already and am feeling a lot fitter and more energised. Very useful as the sleepless nights are still going strong with my hungry and teething little 4 month old. Although I have a long way to go in terms of my weight loss goals, I already feel more confident. As I am living a healthy and active lifestyle I should be proud of. I am so touched to have already raised over £1000 for this charity. It is very fitting that I am doing the 10k run around Arthurs seat. Arthur is my Dads name and is the greatest Arthur I will meet.
My dream is that I get to see him smile again soon.

We promote networking among alumni to strengthen business connections, promote new ideas and advance your career.
The ESADE Alumni Girona Club and ESADE are pleased to invite you to ''The Trump Administration, Brexit and the Catalan economy'', a talk by Prof. F. Xavier Mena, chair of economics at Ramon Llull University and associate professor at ESADE. This talk will be part of the presentation of the following ESADE programs to be taught at Olot:
- SME globalisation programme
- Programme for Leadership Development - PLD
The Trump administration wants to change the direction of the world economy based on the ''America first'' premise, particularly trade relations, corporate energy costs and other economic variables such as exchange rates and interest rates.
On the other hand, the Brexit negotiations between the European Union and the UK have begun with very uncertain expectations.
These risks, plus others such as European sanctions against Russia, are contributing to a scenario giving cause for concern to exporters, industry and the Catalan economy as a whole.
This conference will examine these uncertainties for 2017 and possible solutions.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

If you are like most RVers you know there is one big question that pops up all the time – if home is where I park it, where should that be? If you like boondocking (that means camping without any hookups outside of a campground, usually for free – but I bet you already knew that) then I am telling you, casinos are a fantastic option! We can't always be in the woods or on a beach like we would like. Sometimes your travels take you through cities or in places where dispersed camping isn't an option. Here are five reasons you should give casinos a try!
Video that includes our Casino stop in Washington
If there is a cost, it includes some entertainment at least.
Boondocking in casino parking lots are almost always completely free. However, some casinos require you to gamble a little to earn a set amount of "reward points" in order to stay overnight. You sign up for their free Players Club and then play some slots for a little while while sipping on your free soda or coffee. It has never cost us more than $10-$15 to earn the 20 or 30 points they usually require – sometimes we break even or even win some money! I figure it is a better deal than paying to dry camp somewhere because the money here is at least spent doing something fun! Not a bad deal! If you are on a budget, or you just prefer to be self contained in your RV, it is a win-win!
Casinos usually have good security. They have guards who patrol the lots and we have never been to one that didn't have some kind lighting and cameras as well. I am not naive enough to think that this is just a customer service. They have security for a reason and you can come across some strange ducks! Just do like you always do when boondocking – keep your wits about you, make sure your stuff is secure, and enjoy the adventure! If you wanted boring and predictable, you probably wouldn't have chosen this lifestyle anyway!
They are happy you are there!
Casinos are happy to accomodate you! They have always been super friendly to us when we come in. They hope you make your way into their building and have a good time losing a little money! They aren't in a rush for you to go either. They want you to get comfortable and stay awhile. Most places have a three night limit and as long as you register with security, they don't mind if you unhook your trailer and leave it there during the day. It is a great option if you want to go somewhere that isn't RV friendly. For example, when we went to see the redwoods in Crescent City, CA our trailer was too big for the scenic drive through the trees. We stayed at a tiny little casino that was literally less than ½ mile away from the entrance to the Redwoods National Forest. In Washington state we stayed at a casino in Sequim that was a perfect launching point for several day trips (that one also had first come first serve free electric hookups! What the what?!)
Good locations
Casinos are often strategically built near tourist spots or, at the very least, close to the highway. Down the 101 they are everywhere!
Food and other amenities:
Aside from gambling there are often other things to do at the casinos. There are usually good restaurants, cafes, and bars. There might be a fun band playing, or outlet stores to check out. Once, at a casino in Canada, we were literally right next to a race track and watched horses race by through our living room window as we ate a home-cooked meal. That is tough to beat!
Next time you are looking for a convenient boondocking spot, do a quick search for a casino. We are headed to one now!
