If there was a tournament between the Kev and the Decathlon, what should it be?
I thought up a WTF which was basically an overwrought Facta Cup with qualy round ->group stage -> knockout. The group stage had home/away legs with home field (subject choice) advantage.
Though since we have so many existing good (unplayed) tournaments already, why make something worse and more convoluted?
Our fearless leader has granted permission to ATTEMPT something in that gap week, what would you like to see?
I wouldn't mind trying the Facta Cup, or a 2-man team tourney...
Have decided through chatting with JMK to have a go at the Facta Cup next week. Hope a lot of you who have played it in the past sign up!
I'm working on a tournament format that would be easy to run as a contributer (can't send mass brainoffs)
I think a league format would work well, and be different from any tournaments we've had here before.
My current idea:
WTF (Weekend Tour Factacular)
Entrants would choose 3 home field subjects. On Saturdays and Sundays players will compete against other players in the league one on one. Each player will play one home and one away leg against each other player. A home leg consists of one 10 question brainoff in each chosen home field subject. Scoring will be 1 point for each won brainoff. So these will probably finish 2-1 or 3-0. I don't know if ties should be moot or go to the away team yet. League standings will be based on standard W-L record. Tiebreakers will be away record and maybe brainoffs won?
This should really make it hard to get away wins. At the end of the league, standings will dictate the seedings for the season ending tournament, everyone will qualify. This will be in series format, best of 3 each round until the final best of 5. In the tournament it will be random brainoffs, no more home advantage (the tournament will be played at a neutral location). Tournament could also be a simple knockout in interest of quick completion.
This would be played at a much more leisurely pace than our current tournaments. The league portion could be quarterly or monthly, while the final tournament could be a week/long weekend.
I always think there should be a tourney where we choose a country to represent, too. This format would work with that idea.
I saw in this sub-forum a couple of you had some other tournament ideas. Especially on 5 week months the schedule could use some filling up. I'd like to hear other tournament ideas!
I like the sound of all that, i also like the idea of a two man/woman tourney
Helen what was the old two man tourney... the one by join dates? I like that, good for newcomers.
One with one brainoff and putting first with last, etc. would be fun too (didn't we have that as well?)
One with chosen teammates fun too.
The good thing about two-man tournaments is that I can attempt to run those without TOO MUCH supervision.
There are a few open weeks, what kind of two-man tourney would you all like to see the most?
Any of those sound good, first with last sounds great
Those ones paired people using ID numbers so those who had been on the site longest were paired with newcomers. Could also have pairs from the same or nearby countries.
Same country could end up being you and me JMK
@Helen I think you may get your wish of some 2-man tournaments coming up soon!
Also have come up with a Factacular Golf idea. If it gets approved, may see that one shortly as well.
Golf is very hard! But there's a lot of luck involved.
Golf? My dad played golf! The kids used to trail their fathers around the course, playing in the rough, while the mums stayed back at the golf club! At 6 that was great fun - at the BOAC club in The Gambia a huge python used to dwell near the 3rd hole - we kids use to dare each other to find it and poke it with a stick before one of the fathers hauled us off. None of us ever got eaten - in fact I don't even remember the python reacting - seemed to coil itself tighter.
Aaah - the memories :)
Used to trail my father around the links too. After a couple duck hooks I always ended up in the creek collecting the rich people's fancy golf balls. I'd end up with 20 pounds of golf balls in my pockets, which was certainly a lot more productive than my golf game.

"Shortness of Breath, Swollen / weight gain, Severe Exhaustion, Bloated, Severely Constipated (all my life), My Scalp Burns, Bi-lateral Rash on inside forearms, Arrhythmia, Depression, ADD, Memory Problems, Angular Chelitis, Thinning hair. Sima listened and advised me to start with a 4-week program to tackle these issues and get my body back to a place of health. She wrote all my menus and recipes, week by week and would make adjustments as we went along the way, depending on how I responded to the foods that she incorporated. 1 week in and I was feeling better, which made me a bit more optimistic and excited. 2 weeks in I felt good. 3 weeks in great. And by the 4th week, my energy felt like it was at a level that mirrored my teenage years! I know that it should seem logical that what we put into our body actually affects our moods and our health, but if I had known that I could have made this much of a difference by changing my diet, I would have done it years ago! Absolutely life changing and the BEST thing I've ever done for myself. The only symptom I still have is the arrhythmia, but it's gone from multiple episodes a day to one a week or less. Definitely, do this for yourself. It is absolutely worth every penny!

It means thinking about what would happen to your spouse or partner, children, grandchildren, siblings and family and friends when you pass away. While difficult to think about, it's also a crucial way to ensure that your wishes concerning your surviving family and friends, are met. Clear directions on how to provide for spouses, adult children and their families, and how you wish to divide your estate can help your family avoid the complications that can arise if your will is vague, or you pass away without a will.

Quote of the day: Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.
The last time I felt like I was in my early twenties, was when I could dance till 3am while breathing in a smoke-filled congested dance floor with music thumping through my internal organs, and NOT feel worn out. The last time was on Friday night at Ministry of Sound. It was invigorating! And friends always welcome a designated driver since I am alcohol intolerant. Malunya! Anyway, it was a good quick wake-me-up amidst my mundane life. But bad coughing bouts followed. Not good at all. The pain in my right chest is growing stronger as I cough.
The next day, my dad drove Daniel and I to Desaru beach to join a Lion's Club charity outing with some inmates from the Chesire Home and a calvary girl's home. Not very sunny, and tide was a little high. And because we only stepped onto the beach at 6pm, we could only spend an hour playing before it got dark and cold.
Then during dinner, some performances were put up by the inmates, where one Malay dude from Chesire Home sang a supposedly sad song, which had lyrics something like " Bapaku kahwin lagi".... "Rumahtangga porak-peranda..."
Then there's this Chinese dude who sang 'Chan Mali Chan', and changed the entire songs as he like. "Dimana dia, buah hati saya..... dia tak pakai baju..."
Migod. Anyway, we all burst into laughter. At that point, I realize I was taking life too seriously. There was something about that night that taught me something, or at least, reminded me of something. Nobody was embarrased to stand on the small wooden stage and sing and dance. They weren't professional entertainers, they didn't sing Grammy-worth songs or danced like Justin Timberlake. It was all so... simple and innocent. I miss that.
Mother's Day was next, and it was a day of eating. First, lunch at a new Japanese buffet restaurant. Not bad. Daniel had coffee cakes and was running around after that. Aww, he takes after me. The back to mom's place for a nap. Off to dinner at another new restaurant, Korean BBQ. Not bad as well, and kids-friendly, meaning they have a little corner for toys, and plenty of room to run around.
The side dishes spread.
Delicious pork belly!
Curious and hungry.

The opening ceremony was held at Thuong Ly Bus Station in Hai Phong on September 17.
The piloting of this route and the upcoming freight transport route through the Chinese city of Shenzhen and Hanoi is organised by the two countries' ministries of transport. It will force the two sides to think about obstacles to vehicles travelling on the routes so as to work out solutions, thus enhancing land transportation deep into each other's territories.
To implement the Vietnam-China road transport agreement signed in 1994 and the protocols on revisions to and implementation of this agreement signed in 2011, the two ministries held ceremonies to mark the operation of freight and passenger transport vehicles and State-owned cars on the Hai Phong-Ha Noi-Kunming, Hanoi-Nanning, and Hanoi-Shenzhen routes in August 2012, and the Cao Bang-Baise route in July 2013.

I too wanted to see vegans BTFO, in spite of my respect for their discipline. See, Le Fly tried being a vegan for about a year and found it to be incredibly hard and annoying. It was, however, good, in the sense that it provided a sense of regimen in my diet and offered me the opportunity to be extreme obnoxious while dining at restaurants.
Ever since BYND started to trade publicly, steakFAGS have been out to get it — and they've been utterly and completely BTFO. The stock is +100 points since 5/2 and there is nothing to be said about it, other than 'nice showing.'
Today, a retarded analyst from JP Morgan, who is more than likely irrelevant in every aspect of life except this, downgraded the shares — with a very cute catch phrase.
The firm downgraded the stock to "neutral" from "overweight" and kept its price target of $120. The alternative meat company reported stronger-than-expected earnings last week — its first report since going public. The stock is "beyond our price target," J.P. Morgan analyst Ken Goldman said in the note to clients. The share price has already exceeded the price target of every analyst on Wall Street and short sellers have lost more than $400 million betting against the plant-based burger maker's stock since it went public, according to research firm S3 Partners. "This downgrade is purely a valuation call," J.P. Morgan said. "As we wrote last week, 'At some point, the extraordinary revenue and profit potential embedded in BYND… will be priced in' – we think this day has arrived."

The taste of victory
Krista Pylant
Sports Editor
Fight fans flocked to the Great Plains Coliseum for Fists of Fury #5 hosted by the Oklahoma State Athletic Commission on Jan. 31 in Lawton.
Fists of Fury #5 featured eight amateur bouts and three professional fights, each fought Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) style in a caged octagon.
Of the 22 fighters, eight represented Lawton, two of which took home the prize.
On the main card of the night, Lawton native and Cameron alumnus, Rodney "The Christian" McSwane looked to defend his heavyweight title against Wayne Cole of Norman.
Once the bell rang, the fighters squared off and turned around in the cage. Cole went in for the first punch with a right cross but missed, allowing McSwane to counter him into the cage. McSwane let him go, and once more the two moved about until McSwayne landed a left jab to Cole's head. Cole returned with a blind left swing, but McSwane ducked for the miss and immediately grappled Cole, taking him to the floor.
Flipping Cole to a rear mount, McSwane applied a rear naked chokehold, but when he realized he could not fully complete the submission, he added a cross-face knocking Cole's mouthpiece out.
The referee paused the fight to replace the mouthpiece, and McSwane took the advantage to re-slip his arm underneath Cole's neck to complete the submission and win the fight by tap to retain his championship title in just one round.
Lawton's other win of the night came from the amateur heavyweight bout featuring former Lawton High football player and wrestler Theo Rogers versus Jerrad Goode of Altus.
Originally, Rogers was supposed to fight a 400 pound super heavyweight opponent, but Goode took his place with only two weeks' notice for his debut fight. As a result, Rogers said he felt confident going into the fight, despite limited knowledge of his opponent
"I knew next to nothing about him," Rogers said. "It just so happened that he was a southpaw, which I found out only the night of the fight. He was a debut guy, so I figured he was going to adrenaline dump on me. My plan was to just feel him out and weather the storm and let him get tired, which I did, but I finished him a bit quicker than I wanted to."
Rogers and Goode traded punches around the octagon, before taking the fight to the floor in the first round. Rogers locked Goode's arms down in a side hold, adding several blows to his head before pressing Goode into a hold for the victory.
Bout seven presented the women's MMA contest where Lawton native Sabrina Ali went toe-to-toe with Rachel Johnson from Lubbock, Texas, in her debut fight.
Going into her first fight, Ali said she was nervous to perform in front of a large crowd, but physically she felt great. She accepted the invitation to fight three weeks prior and prepared by working on cardio and sparring.
After the opening announcements, the fighters advanced to center cage to touch gloves, but as soon as the gloves made contact, Johnson came quick to land a punch on Ali. The move surprised Ali and struck her as dirty, but she said a fighter has to expect anything.
"I just stuck to my game plan and got in and took her down," Ali said. "All three times in the beginning of the rounds, I guess I did kind of freeze up at a moment on the ground. I don't know what got into me, but I did start to work on my jujitsu on the ground.
"I did almost land two good arm bars, but it was one of those 'saved by the bell' moments for her. I wish I had 10-15 more seconds. I was very upset when three elbows were thrown and they weren't called even when I yelled 'elbows!' A good hard knee to the head should have been called too."
Despite losing the fight, Ali said she looks forward to her next fight and will work to be more aggressive on the ground and box more.
The remaining Lawton fighters who closed out the night included Donald Maddox, Adam Stumblingbear, Ken Perry, Jason Day and Tyson Southern.

P1 Palauan ultimatum? Loved it in Marshalls The Micronesian Constitutional Convention was confronted Friday with a tough, take-it or leave-it position from the Palau delegation. The Palau delegation will support the unity of Micronesia "if, and only if" all of their terms are included in the draft Micronesian constitution., said delegate Johnson Toribiong. The first set of Palauan proposals spelled out an extremely loose confederation of districts that would be recognized as "the basic political unit of government" and the central government would be limited to those powers granted to it by the people of the districts. Reaction in the Marshalls to the list of demands was swift: they loved it. Congressman Ataji Balos said he thought "what the Palauans did was good," and Senator Amata Kabua labeled the action "beautiful."

P6 Misinformed Calling up Air Mike in Honolulu to reconfirm a ticket back to Majuro got a strange answer from the agent. He says we needed to have our military clearance ID papers ready for check in to Majuro. When we responded that military clearance was needed only for Kwajalein, he said, "no, the computer says Majuro is a military installation, too."
P9 Jaluit set to re-open runway After seven months with no air service, Jaluit Atoll may get the green light from Air Marshall Islands following a test landing this week. The community took matters in hand to fix their own runway, according to AMI.

He respond to what he described as "an obscure ad" in a legal newsletter, sending in a letter of application on "a lark."

The primary problem, they report, is the lack of facilities for holding individuals who at times may present a threat to the community.

Sarajevo, 2003. Best friends Frito and Bannerman roll into town, still in search of the fortune they missed out on in the dot-com years. For a while it seems that soaking up reconstruction money isn't the worst plan ever. But then they both meet Clare, a prosecutor with the international war crimes tribunal, and they both realise she is the best person they've has ever met, and that they can't both have her as much as they would, ideally, like. Meanwhile the city is awash with black marketeers, poker hustlers, intelligence officers, and expat hedonist, and by the time Frito and Bannerman have started bounty hunting men accused of war crimes, their lives have taken on all the risk - but very little of the money - that they'd bargained for...

The Wall
The skies were grey and the crowds were hectic at breakwall on Saturday afternoon.
But the bodyboard crew were throwing themselves into some crazy barrels off the end of the wall so I swam out and shot until my eyes almost bled.
This is what I saw.

text: L0rinda 307 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 Blizzard have announced that the next update will contain big changes to the way Arena works. The newly announced changes will come into force at the same time as the nerfs to Small-Time Buccaneer and Spirit Claws, which we discussed previously. The most important change will be that Arena will change from Wild format to Standard. This will help to keep Arena feeling fresh, as well as make sure that card synergies can be drafted more easily. Changes have also been made to the distribution of cards. Common and Basic cards will show up less often, and the frequency of spells and class cards being offered has been raised. The full discussion can be found in the announcement link above, but the main reasoning is to allow players to have more opportunities to outdraft and outplay their opponents, rather than just playing the game on curve. This philosophy will have some implications in Standard too. If Blizzard are actively trying to reduce the impact of playing on curve in Arena, this could mean that they will carry over the same thoughts into constructed play. I feel that moving away from the style, unaffectionately known as Curvestone, would be good for the game. The changes will almost certainly be welcomed in the Arena community, and it is good to see Blizzard making them now, rather than waiting for the next set to launch.

A family is in shock and devastated after the body of Sydney dentist Preethi Reddy was found inside a suitcase in a car parked in Sydney's east.
Police believe Ms Reddy was killed by her ex-boyfriend, who then later died after crashing into a semi-trailer near Tamworth.
9News understands the man who died in the crash was also a dentist, known as Dr Harsh Narde. He also goes by the first name of Harshwardhan.
"The family is shattered," close friend Navniit Anand told 9News.
"They are not in the situation to talk. They've lost a daughter. They are feeling terrible."
Police have confirmed to 9News they believe Dr Narde deliberately drove his BMW into the path of the semi-trailer on the New England Highway at Willow Tree about 10pm on Monday night.
The truck driver escaped the crash unharmed.
Ms Reddy's body was found in a suitcase dumped in a car at Kingsford in Sydney's east on Tuesday night.
Police say the 32-year-old had been stabbed several times.
Her family called police after she failed to return home from a conference she had been attending in St Leonards.
Officers from Sydney City Police Area Command established Strike Force Carlwood to investigate her disappearance and they found her grey Volkswagen Golf at Kingsford, about 9.30pm.
CCTV footage showed Dr Reddy inside McDonald's at the Strand Arcade in the Sydney CBD at 2:15am on Sunday morning.
She was standing alone and wearing a dark-green long-sleeved top, black pants, and black ballet flats.
She then left the store alone, and walked south on Market Street.
She last spoke with her family at about 11am on Sunday, telling them she planned to head home for a late breakfast.
Glenbrook Dental Surgery, where Dr Reddy worked in the Blue Mountains, posted on Facebook this morning after finding out about her death. "Glenbrook Dental Surgery staff are in mourning to hear the sad news about Preethi Reddy," the post read.

God's Love
God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
Romans 5:5, NIV
Did you know that you are God's special loved one? Why would He love you so? Maybe it's because when you abide in Christ you are so saturated in Jesus that when God looks at you, He sees His own precious Son and envelopes you in His love for Jesus' sake!
As you and I develop and grow in this love relationship with God, abiding with Him through meaningful prayer and Bible reading, getting to know Him on a deeper level as we live out what we say we believe, He fills us with Himself. And "God is love" (1 John 4:16, NKJV). As you and I are filled with God, we will be filled with His love, not only for Himself, but for others – which includes our spouses or the incompatible people with whom we are struggling. God has promised to pour out "His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us."
May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Preparing for my "Tales of the Gold Monkey" GASLIGHT Game
I am going to run a GASLIGHT game at Cold Wars that is very loosely based on the Tales of the Gold Monkey television show. Each player will have a group of explorers and will set out to find treasure. They will have cards that they can play on each other to slow down the other teams with wild animals, natives, natural disasters, and monsters. The table will be mostly empty except for some jungle. When the players move into terra incognita, I will place different terrain pieces on the table.

If you Are Experiencing a Issue commonly Called nail Fungus you are not alone. In reality, roughly 8 percent of the elderly population is in precisely the exact same boat. It is difficult to miss somebody who has the illness, particularly if they're courageous enough to put on open-toed sneakers or sandals, or go barefoot.Now to see kerasal reviews.
It does not look good or feel great, and can sometimes trigger Other people to ridicule you or prevent you, maybe fearing they may'catch' some thing. It is all very embarrassing and has to be relieved, right? Well, here you will discover choices offered and also the best remedy for nail fungus.
While fungus is more likely to influence the toes, it may also Happen on fingernails too. Since fungus grows readily in dark, moist locations, the toes are an ideal breeding ground. Due to this, it is important to attempt and maintain your feet clean and dry as possible. Proceed when possible, to give your toes an opportunity to breathe.
If You're, nevertheless, still unfortunate enough to return with Fungus below your nails you will soon realize it is not simple to rid yourself of the issue.

Prescription medications are occasionally obtained via a physician, but they are sometimes filled with unpleasant side impacts and can take a lengthy time to trigger any progress, in any way.
For moderate instances, antifungal lacquer may be your physician's recommendation. You use this every day, painting it as you'd nail polish, 1 coat at the top of prior jacket, for approximately a week. The gathered coats are subsequently removed with the usage of alcohol, and the procedure is repeated.

Confessions of a Red Herring (A Red Herring Mystery) by Dana Dratch, blog tour and review
Confessions of a Red Herring (A Red Herring Mystery)
by Dana Dratch
Well written with an intricate plot, CONFESSIONS OF A RED HERRING is a good debut book for author Dana Dratch.
~Lisa Ks Book Reviews
While a red-headed Vlodnachek might not be the full attraction here, Alexandra's family and close-knit support group provide a lively and fun romp through the storyline.
~Rosepoint Publishing
The author jumps right into a wild story. It just took me a while to warm to Alex, I guess. Once I did, the characters began to become real to me, and I wanted more.
~The Ninja Librarian
I liked the little twists the author gave and had a fun time trying to figure out for myself who did the deed.
~A. Holland Reads
So much happens in this story. At times, I felt my head was spinning, but the author brought everything together for one fantastic ending.
~Escape With Dollycas Into A Good Book
The author is very talented in her descriptive writing and those descriptions drew me into the story.
~MJB Reviewers
This is the cutest new cozy series . . . It was fun to follow the twists and turns in the story coming to a shocking conclusion.
~Books a Plenty Book Reviews
Confessions of a Red Herring is a five star read full of humor, characters you wish were part of your own family, and a heroine you are rooting to win right from the start.
~Sinfully Wicked Book Reviews
This book was a mixture of humor and corporate America that many might not see a mystery in but Dana Dratch created a compelling mystery out of this. I was hooked from the first knock on the door to the last suspect on Alex's list.
~Bibliophile Reviews
About the Book
Confessions of a Red Herring (A Red Herring Mystery)
Cozy Mystery
1st in Series
Kensington (May 29, 2018)
Mass Market Paperback: 336 pages
Digital ASIN: B075C8FDT5
As a reporter, she's used to covering the news.
Now she's the headline.
Alex Vlodnachek has been a reporter for 12 years, a P.R. rep for three months, and a murder suspect for all of 24 hours. When her agency's double-dealing CEO is stabbed, scheming co-workers cast the new redhead as a compelling red herring. The story is media catnip—especially her salacious nickname: Vlod the Impaler.
Even Alex has to admit she looks guilty.
Out of a job and under suspicion, Alex is running low on cash, when she's visited by a second disaster: her family. Soon her tiny bungalow is bursting with her nearest and not-so-dearest. To keep herself out of jail—and save what's left of her sanity—Alex returns to her reporting roots. She goes undercover to reclaim her life, break the story, and unmask a murderer. Pretty much in that order.
What she doesn't know: The killer also has a to-do list.
And Alex is on it.
My thoughts
A twisted story that will keep the reader on their toes. Red Herring in this story has a whole new meaning.
Alex has switched over from being a reporter to a P.R. It turned out not to be the bet move she has done. She has been set up of a murder and with her brother Nick, friend Trip, Her grandmother, Baba he is going to find out what happened.
The characters were great and I love Baba. You can't beat a great grandmother with frying pans. Alex is spunky and stubborn which I like about her the most. The author does a great job with the story that you want to keep reading. I will be looking for the next book in the series.
About the Author

Elanco partners with Heifer International to help raise up to $20,000
NASHVILLE, TN – Feb. 1, 2012, Heifer International and Elanco Animal Health announced a new initiative for their ongoing partnership to end hunger in conjunction with the 2012 Cattle Industry Convention. Beef producers attending the convention in Nashville, TN, and throughout the nation can support Elanco's donation of up to $20,000 to Heifer International by simply visiting http://www.heifer.org/Elancopartnership. Elanco will donate $1 to Heifer International for every unique visit to this landing page through March 2012.
"This is a great opportunity for producers to make a difference with a single click," said Ted McKinney, Elanco director of public affairs. "The ultimate goal is to further Heifer International's impact and celebrate the role beef producers play in working toward a world without hunger through the use of production-efficiency technologies."
Producing beef efficiently means more people everywhere can have access to safe, affordable food, and the widest variety of food choices. For years, beef producers have used production-efficiency technologies to increase the amount of beef available by producing more with less.
Since 2008, Elanco and Heifer International have worked together to help provide a better life – for animals and people. The partnership has already helped more than 6,500 families and is on its way to fulfilling the commitment of helping 100,000 families globally.
"Today, through initiatives like this one, millions of people who once were hungry now are nourished by milk, meat, eggs and fresh vegetables," said Marleen New, director of Heifer International corporate and foundation relations. "This new initiative is an exciting way for the beef industry, Elanco and Heifer International to partner in making a big difference in the fight against hunger."
Together, Heifer International and Elanco have identified small communities in emerging countries that could substantially benefit from the gift of an animal, as well as training in animal husbandry and other production practices. In recent years, Elanco and Heifer International have focused their efforts in the Lampung province in Indonesia, the Copperbelt in Zambia and the Hebei province in China.
"We're counting on the beef industry to help us make this donation of $20,000 possible," said McKinney. "Every additional click puts us one dollar closer to helping these communities overcome hunger."

Happy New Year - even if a little belatedly.
I've been wanting to write this post for some time but, as it's about timing, I had to be patient as it wasn't fully developed enough till now.
If you've only a few moments free then that's the punchline too – not taking action till the timing is right, the pieces of the jigsaw are available and have all been turned over, spring has arrived or sunset is approaching.
Specifically not taking action too soon, nor hurried, nor just because you think you should, ought, or must be doing something.
Busyness for busyness sake will not deliver the harvest if the seed is planted too soon, nor will it be an abundant harvest if we keep pressing reset, checking its growing for fear of just biding time as it percolates and develops unseen till the time is right.
Yesterday's #spiritchat on Twitter was about rituals – morning rituals, daily rituals or even annual rituals that we have that support our mind, body, and soul. It was the catalyst for writing this post on timing.
New year has always been a time for me revisiting my visions and goals. A time for some peace and quiet, time to release the old year and embrace the new. A time to have a transformation game, make a vision board and/or collage. A time of reflection and inspiration.
Except this year life got in the way, and my ritual moved out by a couple of weeks. Coincidentally out by a couple of weeks to when the weather turned much colder after a warmer December than normal!
Interesting therefore as I reflect on nature's patterns that the new year doesn't feature.
The 1st January is a human construct, an arbitrary date to reset the year. Our ancestors would have used nature's patterns to live their lives by – whether that was aligned with sunrise, sunset, longest or shortest day, equinoxes, the arrival of spring or autumn, or so on.
It's the metaphor of this natural order of things I want to explore today.
My belief is that logic can only get us so far in life, and logic can certainly throw a whole load of blocks and barriers in the way with its "that wont work"s, "it didn't work last time"s, "I can't"s, "must do it this way"s, and even "won't"s.
That is, logic is great if we're not dealing with expanding comfort zones, transformational change or the need for inspiration. These require a different language, a language logic has yet to learn.
Use of metaphor allows our mind and its logic to take a break as we get in touch with our inner wisdom – an inner wisdom that does not have words but understands and speaks in metaphor.
As you reflect on a situation you'd like more clarity on, perhaps one you're becoming impatient about, or wondering when the best time to start would be, what aspect of nature's timing comes to mind?
- Sunrise/ Sunset
- Day/ Night
- Longest day/ Equinox/ Shortest day
- Winter/ spring/ summer/ autumn
- Full moon/ new moon
- High tide/ low tide
- Sow, grow, harvest, seed
- others?
Don't jump too quickly to what it might mean in the current situation. Simply think about, or even write down or draw what you know about that pattern, look it up on the internet, keep digging into the pattern to discover all of its features - not just the obvious.
Last week sunrise was a pattern I was exploring, and its features included:
- It follows the night
- It comes slowly
- It's timing is predictable
- It can't always be seen but it's always there
- There's a sunrise happening somewhere in the world at every second
- It's beauty is often demonstrated when there's just the right amount of cloud about
- It's followed by a midday and sunset (it seemed like I went from one sunrise to the next without allowing time for the day to develop, nor end!)
To keep exploring the pattern.
Once you've fully dived into the metaphor it's a case of then relating it to the current situation. What different perspective might this pattern in nature be asking you to consider?
For example, here's some examples of what these insights might include, although this will relate to my own observations which will be impacted by my life experience at the moment, so don't be surprised if you get something very different:
- I need to have a little more patience - to set something off and allow it time to get to midday and beyond, to mix the metaphor a little, to not get angry because it's still below the surface of the ground developing.
- The need to sow more than the one seed might be helpful - ie an abundant harvest comes from sowing many seeds some of which will never grow or flourish.
- The right time of tide depends on what you're doing - so don't judge yourself until you know the best time for the activity you're wanting to do - ie don't just follow everyone else - they might be wanting to fish not set sail!
- Jumping from one deadline to another isn't allowing anything to flourish and is killing creativity.
- Perhaps I just need to take action in a different location to take advantage that sunrise is at a different time there than here!!
- Rather than trying to do it myself and getting lost in the dark perhaps I can ask for help to provide some moonlit illumination.
- And so on.
- You can stick with the metaphor and use screenshots or images of seeds growing or sunrises, or even go for a walk and observe the pattern in question, or
- You can invite your mind and its logic to help develop a plan to release the pattern.
There's many different ways that Landscaping Your Life (LYL) uses nature as our coach, nature's landscapes as metaphors for our lives, to provide insight and inspiration for the task in hand.
There's many posts here and there's even an index of highlights from 2018 that will also give you a flavour for what's possible, and includes the publication of Can't see the wood for the trees which had featured on many a vision board for the last 20 years. (As they say, patience is a virtue and great things are worth waiting for.)
I look forward to hearing from you this year for personal coaching, group facilitation or speaking.

WITH the arrival of 21 brand-new garbage compactor trucks, we can expect an efficient and effective garbage collection by Cebu City Hall in the coming days. If City Hall still fails to collect garbage, then the problem is no longer with the lack or shortage of equipment, especially garbage trucks, but perhaps the lack of monitoring and supervision by the people who are in charge of waste disposal.
Mayor Edgardo Labella announced that City Hall will no longer outsource garbage collection with the arrival of the new garbage compactor trucks. The City will have a total of 32 running-condition garbage trucks, enough to serve the residents' demand in terms of garbage collection.
The City Government will just have to finish and terminate the contract it signed with Jomara Konstruct until December this year. After that, the City will take control of garbage collection which will save the City about P50 million a year. The City is paying Jomara in the amount of P25 million from July to December for garbage disposal.
In the previous administration, the garbage disposal budget ballooned to several millions of pesos. There were a lot of City officials as well as private entities who allegedly made a lot money because of the waste disposal contract. The waste management business is very vulnerable to corruption. Literally, "may pera sa basura." There is money in garbage.
Waste systems are operated by a myriad or countless different companies and organizations. But who does what, why and when and for how much is the question on the lips of many involved in the business, whether public authorities or private companies.
Before he officially assumed as ex-officio member in the City Council representing the Association of Barangay Councils (ABC), Franklin Ong, owner of Pasajero Motors Corporation (Pamocor), often won in the bidding for garbage disposal. Companies believed linked to Ong allegedly cornered contracts such as those for medicine and office supplies at City Hall during the administration of "has-been" mayor Tomas Osmeña. Ong is said to be the number one campaign fund contributor to Osmeña's Bando Osmeña Pundok Kauswagan (BOPK) political aggrupation.
Here's how these "unscrupulous" people allegedly made money. On trucks rental. The contract for garbage trucks rentals was supposed to be for 24 hours of usage, seven days a week. But these trucks were only utilized for several hours, not for the 24-hour contracted period. Then, on the garbage collection, it is counted per ton per delivery. They overpriced it and sometimes "tampered" with the delivery receipts, in cahoots with inspectors, from the transfer station to the dumping site. We don't even know how much it cost to deliver one truckload of garbage from the transfer station in Inayawan to the landfill in Consolacion.
We don't even know if, during the dumping of the garbage at the sanitary landfill, the inspectors there were honest in their monitoring because the counting is per ton. There is too much money to be made in waste management.
But now, under Labella's watch, garbage collection will no longer be outsourced. This would mean less money for corrupt officials.
Waste disposal is really a global problem. Imagine some countries are even dumping their garbage here in the country. It became a big issue when garbage from South Korea and Canada were dumped here. Waste is a huge and growing problem. Waste management is a cross-cutting issue impacting on many aspects of society and economy. It has strong linkages to a range of other global challenges such as health, climate change, poverty reduction, food and resource security and sustainable production and consumption.

Aggrieved aspirants and protesters from Rivers State, believed to be loyalists of Senator Magnus Abe, have besieged the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja and blocked the gates of the building.
Bearing placards as they marched around the secretariat on Friday, they asked the party to obey the order of the High Court that nullified the primary elections that produced Tonye Cole as the party's governorship candidate in the state.
A Rivers State High Court had sacked the state executive members of the party loyal to Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of Transportation.
The protesters are asking the party to recognise Magnus Abe as the governorship candidate in the 2019 general election.
Armed policemen were trying to control the protesters as of the time of filling this report.
Details Later.

We have an extensive database of Indigenous plants to help you find the perfect addition to your garden.
This small evergreen tree is frost resistant, drought resistant, fast growing in the sun and is one of our most versatile trees. It has fragrant white flowers in spring which attract birds, bees and butterflies. It is great for formal pruned hedges as it responds well to pruning or for informal hedging/screening. It has non-aggressive roots which makes it most attractive for small gardens, containers and bonsai. Plant 3 meters from buildings. It is medicinal as the leaves are used for coughs and colds and the roots are used as a purgative. The wood is used for fencing posts, small furniture and fire wood. The photo of the tree with a spiral stem was purposefully grown like that and trained over wire as a sapling. Named for Adam Buddle 1660-1715 an English amateur botanist, vicar and plant collector. He created Britain's first herbarium.
Found throughout the country, other than the Western Cape and the Karoo. It only grows to 3-5 meters so is great for a townhouse garden where space is limited. It has stunning autumn foliage and is deciduous. The flowers are visited by butterflies and insects so they attract the insect eating birds. Perhaps its best attribute is the little red fruit, which are produced in abundance. They are relished by fruit eating birds, Dassies, Bushbuck and humans. It is the larval food plant of the Mooi River Opal butterfly and 26 moth species.The roots produce brown dye and they are used medicinally as a purgative, for epilepsy, to dislodge thorns and for eye troubles. The roots are extremely hard and are known to blunt plough blades. We recently had an enquiry from Australia for the twigs which are used as toothpicks!The roots and twigs are antimicrobial. An excellent bonsai subject. The name is derived from the Greek dios = divine, pyros=a grain of sand referring to the fruit which is divine to eat and is used to make jam.
An evergreen small sized tree. It is a drought resistant, fast growing and it grows well when planted in the sun or semi shade. It produces white flowers in Spring which are visited by butterflies and these are followed by edible fruits which are orange. They are about 3 cm in diameter and are attractive as well as attracting fruit eating birds.This is also a great little tree for a butterfly garden as it is the larval host for butterflies.
This small 5m evergreen tree is frost resistant, water wise, fast growing in the sun or semi-shade. The cream flowers are rich in nectar, which attracts butterflies, and are produced in spring and are followed by apricot fruit which attract birds - insect and fruit eaters like the Louries and black eyed Blackeyed Bulbuls. It should produce fruit when about 3 years old.It makes a safe nesting site. It is useful for an informal hedge/screen or a thorny security barrier as they retain their lower branches and can be planted close together as they do not have aggressive roots. The fruit is also useful as it is rich in vitamin C and although sour it is tasty and is eaten raw or used for jelly and jam making. It is eaten by Monkeys and Baboon. The trees are also browsed by game. The Kei Apple will do well in a container and is popular for bonsai. The branches are also used in flower arrangements.The oval leaves are shiny, dark green with a smooth margin. It is successful if planted in a coastal garden or in a Highveld garden. This tree was first grown in Europe in 1870 but is now grown worldwide, in California, the Mediterranean and Australia. Plant it 2 meters from buildings and pools. The name is derived from the Greek dovyalis = spear refering to the long thorns.
This deciduous tree/shrub is frost resistant, drought resistant and fast growing in the sun or semi-shade. It is usually multi-stemmed with tangled branches which give rise to its common name. It produces masses of fragrant, lilac flowers in spring. They attract bees, flies, beetles, wasps and butterflies. These are followed by edible orange berries which ripen to black and they attract birds – insect and fruit eaters like Crested francolin, Guinea fowl, Hornbill, Barbets, Bulbuls and Starlings as well as humans and wild animals. It makes a wonderful nesting site for birds and is browsed by game. It is useful for formal pruned hedging, informal hedging/screening or thorny security barriers. The branches are used for bows and fishing baskets as they are flexible. It has medicinal properties to treat cuts, relieve pain and gall sickness in cattle. The magical uses are a good luck charm on hunting expeditions, rain making ceremonies and protection for huts and crops from hail damage. The Afrikaans common name of "deurmekaarbos" is very descriptive. The wood is hard and is used for stampers. Named for George Ehret (1708-1770) a German botanical artist. His unique style and clarity of illustration drew the attention of people like Sir Joseph Banks. Over 3000 of his illustration survive in private collections and Natural History Museums.
Clerodendrum glabrum now called Rotheca glabrum White Cats Whiskers SA Tree No. 667
This small deciduous tree is frost resistant, drought resistant and fast growing in the sun or semi-shade. The pretty pink flowers open in Spring. They attract butterflies, moths, bees and ants. It is the larval host plant for 11 moth species and the Natal bar and the Purple - brown Hairstreak butterflies. It is also useful as the leaves are rubbed onto the hands and face to repel bees when collecting honey. The fruit is used to make a blue dye and is eaten by birds. It is useful for hedging/screening and it has non-aggressive roots. The branches are used for poles for hut building. The wood is hard and is used to start fires. It is resistant to salt spray so is useful for coastal gardens. The medicinal properties are varied. The leaves are used to treat intestinal parasites, coughs, fevers, to aid sleep and prevent bad dreams, for rashes and toothache. When crushed, the leaves have insect-repellent qualities and are made into a lotion to prevent maggots and parasites on the wounds of animals or as a wash for tick infections. It is believed to protect against witchcraft and is considered anti viral. Pounded roots are bound over snake bites, especially Mamba bites. Its also useful on a game farm as it is browsed by game and is ideal for a small garden. The name is derived from the Greek 'kleros' meaning chance or fate and 'dendron' meaning tree. According to legend these trees possessed medicinal properties and one took a chance on them as it varied in several species.
Fast growing, evergreen shrub that copes well with drought conditions and wind. It can grow to 2m and responds well to pruning. There are many colours available now from yellow, orange, salmon, pink and red and they flower from spring through summer. It also attracts the sunbirds, bees, butterflies like the Zebra Blue, insect eating birds and is used for nesting. I've seen it pruned into a formal hedge. You may need to cut it back slightly in spring if the frost has caught the tips during the winter. It also has medicinal uses and the bark infusions are used for fever, pain, insomnia, chest problems, dysentery, bleeding gums and pneumonia . Powdered bark is rubbed around the teeth to heal bleeding gums. The nursing mothers wear a necklace of pieces of stem. The leaves are browsed by stock as well as kudu, nyala, bushbuck, klipspringer and duiker. It is ideal for coastal gardens. Cattle and sheep graze the plant and the flowers and seed pods are used for pot pourri. Eve Palmer said in A Gardener's Year "...it doesn't care a button for heat, cold or drought, and is beautiful and fast". The name is derived from the Mexican term fro plants with tubular flowers.

Unique balance was born out of my belief that there is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to wellbeing. There are some key principles that help create balance within, how these principles are applied, can and should be varied to make them achievable for everyone.
Once we begin our journey towards balance, we become much more in tune with our own specific needs. My role is to help you identify your goals and uncover what works best for you; I am there as a guide providing information, support and motivation, working with you to ensure you reach those goals.
Unique Balance incorporates 3 different services that are stand-alone therapies or can be combined as a package. Some clients have a very specific goal and are very clear about the service they are interested in (for example hypnotherapy to give up smoking) others would like to address an issue that could be supported in various ways and like to talk through what is best suited to them (for example weight management could be helped through nutritional advice, hypnotherapy, yoga or a combined package).
I sometimes draw on other disciplines to support a session. For example, I may give nutritional information on ways to increase energy at the end of a yoga class, or I may demonstrate a yogic breathing technique you could use to get into the perfect state for performance as part of a hypnosis session for public speaking.
I have a particular interest in supporting people with Stress Management, Self Esteem Issues, Disordered Eating and ME/CFS.
I am a fully insured member of the National Council of Hypnotherapists, the National Society of Hypnosis, Psychotherapy and Mindfulness, the Independent Yoga Teachers Alliance and the Federation of Nutritional Therapy Practitioners.

Polar 1.16.0 Released
A number of major changes went into Polar 1.16.0 but the big highlights include a big performance bump for the desktop app on startup, an updated chrome extension to improve stability during loading PDFs, and a new context menu for the document repository.
This also includes a new timing system which allows us to detect slow operations in Polar to help improve performance over time. The plan is to keep an eye on these metrics to help track down any performance regressions and also to improve performance over time.
Polar 1.17 (the next major version of Polar) is already under development and should include:
Initial version of sharing of documents publicly.
Fix for a major bug involving large PDFs and the "white screen of death"
Removal of some important legacy code for content capture in the desktop app.
Full changelog for 1.16.0
Multi-delete button now uses the confirm prompt properly.
The doc repo now supports a context menu for each row
Fixed major performance issue with the datastore on Electron as it was going through the IPC process for the datastore data reads and this was amazingly slow. Moving it into the renderer process speeds up reads by about 10x.
Fixed bad bug in the webapp where we wouldn't ever fetch the latest docs from firebase.
A ton of improvement to tooltips needed for mobile support but also the fact that having them popup bothered a lot of users.
Inline app message that styling with rich HTML is supported for new users.
More improvements for mobile.
Fixed bag bug where Firebase batches weren't used properly and we had a delete outside of the batch which could leave FB inconsistent.
Always show the multi-delete and multi-tag buttons even if just one is selected as it will still work just fine.
Make the top buttons for tagging and delete permanently displayed not hidden.
Added a couple key metrics for Firebase performance via tracer so that we can verify real-world behavior.
RendererAnalytics now safer if accidentally called from the Node context and just silently fails.
RendererAnalytics now supports using a stopwatch so we can track the times of important operations.
Improved CSS of annotation sidebar and included instructions on how to create your first annotation.
Use the sidebar area to explain how to create annotations.

Six ways the town of Rugby helped change the world
- Published
The town of Rugby in Warwickshire is arguably best known as the birthplace of the sport that bears its name. But it also lays claim to having helped inspire the modern Olympics and the "Harry Potter of its day". So what else has it done?
Most people know the story.
It was 1823, on a school field at Rugby School that senior boy William Webb Ellis, caught a football in his arms and began to run with it.
It was this moment, according to folklore, that led to the invention of not one, but several, international sports.
As the annual Six Nations tournament - which styles itself "rugby's greatest championship" - prepares to grab fans of the union code in its thrall once more, what more has this Warwickshire given to the world?
Somewhat confusingly, what the world knows as "rugby" is still known as "football" in the school that bears its name.
And football in the 1820s was a world away from the sport we know now.
"You could have up to 300 boys on the pitch at any one time," said Rusty MacLean, the school's archivist.
"Teams could be of vastly different sizes and matches could last for a week."
It was the boys themselves - the "Rugbeians" who took charge of codifying school sports.
"Ellis was a senior boy in 1823, a praepostor, or prefect," said Mr MacLean. "One of the unwritten rules of football said you were allowed to catch the ball but not run with it. Ellis is credited with being the first person to run with the ball."
In 1845, three Rugby boys produced what are believed to be the first written rules of "the Rugby style of game".
A later pupil, Tom Wills, is credited with taking the game to Australia, where it morphed into Australian Rules Football, while a 1911 history of American Football cites the school as the "cradle" of the United States' game.
Mr MacLean said much of the terminology of the sport, such as "offside" and "touch" also originated on "The Close" - the Rugby playing field.
In 1839, Queen Adelaide visited the school and the boys wore what is believed to have been the first games kit, complete with crimson caps. "Those caps are why we refer to players receiving an international cap today," said Mr MacLean.
So how true is the Webb Ellis story likely to be?
Tony Collins, a professor of history at De Montford University's International Centre for Sports History and Culture, said there is no evidence to support the legend but does credit the school with codifying and popularising the sport.
"You can certainly trace the origins of both Rugby League and Union to the game that was played at Rugby School."
The founder of the International Olympic Committee, Pierre de Coubertin, made no secret of the role Rugby School and its famous headmaster, Dr Thomas Arnold, played in inspiring him to found the modern Olympic Games.
"De Coubertin was an educational reformer in France," said Mr MacLean. "He visited the school on several occasions and is even said to have spent a night in the chapel, where he is said to have had his light bulb moment for the modern Olympics."
De Coubertin wrote: "It was to Arnold we turned... for inspiration."
Mr MacLean is clear there were other influences on de Coubertin, not least the games in Much Wenlock.
"I don't think you can say the Games would not have happened were it not for Rugby School but the original catalyst was Dr Thomas Arnold," he said.
"In many ways, he was trying to take the values of Rugby School to the rest of the world," added Professor Collins.
The book that seared the myth of Rugby in the mind of nearly every scuff-kneed schoolboy in the second half of the 19th Century- including de Coubertin - was the original school story bestseller Tom Brown's Schooldays.
While English fiction had seen previous stories set in schools, by former Rugbeian Thomas Hughes was the first to gain mass popularity with the genre.
"Hughes was very much influenced by Thomas Arnold and he didn't write the work as entertainment - it was originally a didactic work designed to advance Arnold's philosophy," said Mr MacLean. "It's set within a school and it's about good triumphing over evil."
It is a familiar tale that resonates down the generations and, according to some, Harry Potter, is the "modern Tom Brown".
"You could clearly see Tom Brown as the forerunner of Harry Potter," said Mr MacLean. "Tom Brown is Harry Potter, Dr Arnold is Dumbledore, Malfoy is Flashman and Quidditch is a game of football. And, like Harry Potter, the reader wants Tom to triumph against the odds."
"The Harry Potter books, like Tom Brown, regard school as a space where that character's battles take place," added Pablo Mukherjee from the University of Warwick's English and comparative studies department.
"In many ways, Harry Potter revises the Rugby School ethos."
It is rare that one man is credited with forging a template for standards of British public life, but some historians see Dr Arnold, Rugby's headmaster from 1828-1842, as playing that role.
"He defined to others this idea of responsibility and service. He created a generation of people who became great leaders," Mr MacLean said.
When Dr Arnold took up his post, Rugby School was, according to journalist and historian Simon Heffer, a "run-down and unfashionable school".
"Within 15 years, he had inculcated a generation of intelligent young men," said Mr Heffer, who has devoted the preface of his study of the Victorians - High Minds - to Dr Arnold.
"I see him as being one of the most influential figures - not of the Victorian era, because he died five years after the queen came to the throne - but on it.
"A number of men who worked at the school or were pupils there did things in society that propagated the Arnoldian message.
"It meant that in a society where many people were poor and struggling, there was a duty on behalf of those who were educated to go out and improve the lot of others.
"He didn't invent the stereotype of the English gentleman but he did contribute to it."
Another world-changing idea that took off in Rugby was the jet engine.
A prototype for the engine was built by Sir Frank Whittle, a Coventry-born RAF engineer air officer, at the British Thomson-Houston (BTH) works in the town in 1937.
"Rugby was a major player in the development of the jet engine," said Barry James, chairman of the Midland Air Museum board.
"Sir Frank was a man who used all the engineering skills of the area to develop his invention. Rugby was his area and BTH had the capabilities he needed."
Unfortunately, Mr James says, the people of Rugby were not able to appreciate the revolutionary nature of Sir Frank's invention - in fact, they found the loud noises caused by the testing disturbing, a fact not helped by their top secret nature.
"People started to talk and ask questions about what was going on, so in the end the development moved away from the town," said Mr James.
But there is no doubting the jet engine's impact on the world.
"The jet has had a significant impact on civil and military aviation," said Mr Van Schaardenburgh.
"Although transatlantic flights were possible with the old piston engine, the jet allowed you to fly higher, where there was less air resistance, and go further."
The enormous Rugby Radio Station tuning coil was erected by the government in 1923 to enable communication to all of Britain's colonies.
When Rugby Radio came on air on 1 January 1926 it was served by the world's most powerful telegraph transmitter.
The technology was used for communicating everything from Christmas greetings to the navy to telegrams abroad.
"The Rugby tuning coils are a wonderful reminder of worldwide radio communications in their early pioneering days," said John Liffen, curator of communications at the Science Museum.
