Let's Join the FitFil National Weight Loss Challenge
I've been wanting to lose the extra pounds I gained after giving birth, but unfortunately my son is now 9 and I'm still overweight. With my height, I need to lose at least 20 pounds to be in a normal range.
I joined FitFil (Fit Filipino) boot camp last 2012 here at Alabang, it was a 12 session program running 3 times a week. I lost 5lbs that time because of intense training. But unfortunately I did not maintain the fire in my heart to lose weight and after the boot camp I returned to the usual couch potato lifestyle.
I tried a lot of workouts already, running, walking, zumba, swimming etc… but I think I'm motivated more if I am with groups. I'm glad that this year my closest friends from this blogging industry (which we call ourselves Kumare Bloggers), are now motivating each other to be healthy, fit and strong again. We put a little pressure on ourselves by tagging each other on social media after we finished our workout for the day. Since the start of this month (June) I've been attending Planaforma's various classes to be strong and hopefully lose those extra pounds soon.
#LetsGetFitPhillipines !!!!! Rain or Shine, the #GetreadytoLive movement will push through. The #KumareBloggers pledge to donate our extra pounds and get active again. Let's all together donate the weight and build a fitter nation. Sign up on www.fitfil.ph More on this on the blog soon. #FitFilChallengeAccepted #LivetoMove
That's why I'm happy to be part of this year's FitFil National Weight Loss Challenge. Together with FWD Life Philippines Insurance, FiItFil will be challenging Filipinos in all regions to collectively donate/lose one million pounds (1,000,000 lbs.) aimed towards building a fitter and healthier nation.
Coach Jim Saret and his wife Toni Saret started this FitFil movement years ago and they are proud to partner with FWD Insurance because they have the same goal that is to inspire a new wave of awareness for the health benefits of keeping fit. They believe that living life to the fullest starts with being healthy. Which I totally agree!!
This campaign started this month of June and will last until December this year. FWD launched the Live to Move health and wellness program last Saturday June 24 at SM MOA By the Bay.
Rain or shine people from different sectors joined and attended the fitness party event.
I'll be visiting one of their weigh-in centers soon to be able to count myself in and be part of this campaign. I pledge to donate those 20lbs that I've been wanted to lose for the longest time. Join me and let's all #GetReadyToLive

Mahindra Logistics Limited, a renowned Indian logistics company, has reportedly announced that it is actively looking for acquisitions within the logistics-technology segment.
Reports cite, the company is eyeing acquisitions in an effort to boost operational efficiencies through digitization on a higher level. Moreover, the company is also attempting to consolidate its own freight forwarding business.
According to a report, the company presently gets approximately 5% of its revenues from its freight forwarding business due to its acquisition of Lords Freight. The company has further expressed interest in fully acquiring Lords Freight and also taking over more companies in the sector by making large & fast investments.
The CEO of Mahindra Logistics, Pirojshaw Sarkari stated that the company is specifically looking for acquisitions inside the tech analytics sector. Sarkari further added that for this purpose, the company is currently carrying out further discussions with two other firms.
Reportedly, about three months ago, the company invested in Transtech Logistics through a two-step transaction that would see Mahindra Logistics holding a majority 51% stake inside the logistics-technology startup. The company now aims to herald in higher levels of seamlessness inside its business through more digitization from order-to-cash.
For the record, the company has listed itself on the stock market through a successful Initial Public Offering (IPO) last year. Presently, Mahindra Logistics obtains about 57% from its revenues from Mahindra, a number that has fallen from 88% throughout the last decade.
The logistics industry is reportedly perceived to be on the brim of unprecedented development through government initiatives like the eWay bill as well as GST, the advent of efficient & ambitious e-commerce firms & growth in consumption in domains such as retail.
According to reports, the company is also among several firms working along with the government to bring standardization in infrastructure & assets from warehouses to pallets, grading of warehouses, trucking insurance proposals and logistics contract standardization

Opposition leaders brought politics to the forefront of a ceremony to mark yesterday's anniversary of France's official transfer of the former Kampuchea Krom provinces to Vietnam in 1949.
Speaking to a crowd of hundreds of monks, Khmer Krom and Khmer attendees at Samaki Rainsey pagoda in Phnom Penh's Meanchey district, Cambodia National Rescue Party deputy leader Kem Sokha lambasted the ruling Cambodian People's Party for operating under the thumb of Vietnam.
"If the CNRP led the country, it would propose a law … to make June 4 a national holiday.… We would [also] like to allow Khmer Kampuchea Krom to go in and out of the country without using passports," he said.
CNRP leader Sam Rainsy said the CPP was facilitating the loss of more Cambodian territory through economic land concessions (ELCs).
"The government of [Prime Minister] Hun Sen grants ELCs … to pave the way for yuon to swallow the current Cambodian territory," he said, using a term considered by some to be derogatory to Vietnamese.
San Sang, a Khmer Krom representative, said the effects of the 1949 anniversary are still felt in modern-day life.
"In Vietnam, we have been regarded as Cambodian Vietnamese, but in current [Cambodia], the government does not recognise us. They say they cannot make … IDs or passports for us, because we do not have a clear identity and cannot speak Khmer clearly."
On Monday, City Hall scaled back plans for the anniversary, prohibiting a public forum for fear it would be used as a platform for racial hate speech.
Council of Ministers spokesman Phay Siphan told the Post that members of the CPP did not attend yesterday's event because, while they "respect the spirit of the Kampuchea Krom as … lost land", they also "respect the rule of law and nonviolence".
Royal representative Sisowath Pong Neary Monypong said that, for her, the anniversary was not about politics.
"I am not involved in politics; I came here to offer food to the monks, and I am also a Khmer Krom."

The Vassar Haiti Project
The Vassar Haiti Project
was founded in 2001, and is a collaborative, all-volunteer organization. Today, it is recognised as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with over 100 members and volunteers dedicated to supporting Haitian artists and the people of Chermaitre.
Join in partnership with Femmes de Chermaitre!
The women of Chermaitre, Haiti, many of whom have experienced significant personal and economic hardships, came together in late 2013 to form the women's co-operative, Femmes de Chermaitre, in order to collectively improve their livelihoods. They strongly believe
in the power of women working together, and have an incredible network of solidarity.
Jeanne Saintulis, President of Femmes de Chermaitre
"Women are everything"
The full impact of a successful women's co-operative is immeasurably large and interconnected with all aspects of life in Chermaitre. We are certain that their growth will reverberate through the entire community: they will be able to afford and grow more food
for their families, send their children to school, and realize their goals of sustainable, thriving livelihoods. As Toussaint Vina (secretary of the co-operative) reminds us in the video: "Women are everything."
Growing the Co-operative
Since their formation, they have been making coffee, producing peanut butter and jams, as well as fabrics, handcrafts and jewelry for sale in regional and U.S. markets. This year, VHP successfully began selling their richly aromatic organic coffee, hand-sewn
napkins and artfully beaded earrings at our Haitian art and handcraft sales. We are very heartened by the results so far. With your support in purchasing more supplies and equipment, Femmes de Chermaitre can get up and running on a larger scale!
Lavantine Joseph, Member of the Procurement Committee

- Capital: Lima
- Population: 30.38 million (2013)
- Language: Spanish, Quechua, Aymara
- Religions: Roman Catholic, Protestant
Modern day Peru has been home to many ancient civilizations, the largest and wealthiest of these was the Incas whose empire ruled for over 100 years until the Spanish arrived in the 16th century.
Needs in Peru
For hundreds of years, the tribal people of the Amazon have been exploited by the majority population of Peru. The communities are also very isolated. Many can only be accessed by boat which take days or months to get to. This kind of isolation creates many problems within the tribes including but not limited to access of basic needs: food, clean water, education, medical care, etc. There also continue to be some tribal regions that have yet to be contacted by the outside world.
This month you are helping to support our partner in Peru called Misión Integral Nativa Del Perú (MINAP) translated as the Holistic Tribal Mission of Peru
Partner since 2006
MINAP is the country's first missionary-sending agency led by Amazon Indians. They serve the needs of the most remote tribal people hidden in the Amazon jungles. Mostly travelling by boat — and often for months at a time — deep into the jungles of Peru, workers contact tribes and slowly build relationship and trust. Once tribes are contacted, workers are able to assess then minister to the needs of the people. As individuals respond to the hope found in Jesus, churches are formed and community transformation is realized. MINAP's team works tirelessly with tribes to:
- meet their basic medical needs
- introduce income-generating activities
- share the word of God and plant churches, and
- provide training programs
PLEASE PRAY for the people of the Amazon as they face the daily struggles of illness, poor living conditions and exploitation and that they would find hope. Pray also for the MINAP workers as they continue to travel for days and weeks at a time motivated by the Gospel and desiring to show the love and hope of Jesus to the tribes they serve.

Backup Your Writing
We've all done it and it's disheartening. You've worked hard on a writing project only to lose it. Your computer is stolen or it crashes and everything you've worked on is gone. Forever. Or the pages you wrote on blew away in a massive gust of wind. You want to find the nearest bridge and jump off. Okay, that's a little drastic but you know what I mean.
Starting today, back up every word you write. If you use a computer, do what I call the poor man's back up. Set up another email account through a reputable company like Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo email, that kind of thing. At the end of every writing day, email yourself a copy of whatever you worked on that day. That way, if (heaven forbid!) your house burned down tomorrow and you lost everything, you'd be able to access your writing works from any computer.
If you write in longhand, invest in a scanner. At the end of every writing day, scan the pages onto your computer and email those to your writing email account.
While you won't have to check the account very often, do make a point of going onto it every few months or so. While the newer email programs have lots of space (I've got a Gmail account for my writing backups and after three years it's only 11% full), some of the older email systems don't offer as much storage space. You'd hate to lose your computer and feel confident everything is backed up on email only to discover the inbox is full and you haven't received anything new for months.
Sure, you can use an external hard drive or a USB to back everything up but that can be stolen, destroyed, or malfunction. The email back up is the best solution I have found so far that gives me a high level of confidence that I will never again lose all my writing work. Or for added security, use an external document saving device as well as the email back up; that will cover all your bases.

Egypt is set to build the world's largest clean-coal plant. A Chinese conglomerate beat the US General Electric and a Japanese firm for a $4.4bn project at Hamrawein that will generate close to seven gigawatts of power or 40 per cent more than South Africa's new station at Medupi, and dwarfing output from the turbines on the Zambezi River at Lake Kariba.
"This will be the world's most advanced ultra-supercritical clean-coal plant," said Zou Lei who chairs the Dongfang Electric Corporation, one of the winning contractors. Chinese and Egyptian banks will provide the finance.
China, the United States and South Africa lead the world in clean-coal research, though many sites still use old-fashioned technology. Critics say this is made worse by a World Bank decision not to fund projects using fossil fuel.

At least five police officers were killed and 30 injured in clashes with unidentified gunmen believed to have crossed into the Albanian-majority area of a northern Macedonian town from Kosovo. Gunfire and explosions lasted for over 15 hours.
It is still unknown if there were any civilian casualties or how many of the gunmen were killed during the operation. However, the police said "There are victims among the gunmen," without giving details, RT reported.
Local Albanian media reported that five armed men were killed during the clashes. Around 30 of the militants surrendered, while another 15 gunmen were reportedly able to escape.
Police revealed that the armed group illegally entered Macedonia from a neighboring state, without providing any more details. Local media suggest that the group came from Kosovo, which is populated mostly by ethnic Albanians.
The violence was triggered during a police raid in the area. Officers faced "violent resistance" from snipers, grenades and automatic weapons, according to police.
"This is a risky operation because it is an area with narrow streets and police need to perform house-to-house searches very carefully," a police spokesperson said.
Armored vehicles reportedly sealed off one of the town's suburbs and helicopters were heard whirring overhead. The gunmen were planning to carry out attacks on state institutions, according to the police.

text: I′m writing this mostly for working mothers who are lost in the deep sea of stress and wondering how to surface (believe me, I was also a lost fish till few years ago but now slowly and steadily I′ve learnt to swim) but anyone and everyone is welcome to read and share their views or comments. I don′t know where to start from but I guess, I should take one step at one time and so I will start from the first lesson which I learnt. �Be Positive, think positive and speak positive�. It actually works! I want to narrate a small story about myself to enforce this lesson: I was working as Anesthesiologist in a small hospital. It was a single specialist centre and so I was on duty 24*7. I had joined that hospital along with my 10 month old son and my husband was pursuing his specialization in another hospital some 200 kms away. I was managing my little one with help of a household help. I desperately wanted to join somewhere in the same city as my husband and as luck would have it I got the offer to join a Big Hospital, multispeciality in that same city. By this time my son had grown up to be 1 and half years. All of you reading this would say what is the Catch�.good for you that you got a offer and you went ahead and joined and lived happily ever after�.well that′s not the case. The catch is �� I was apprehensive in joining that multispecialty hospital, because bigger hospital meant more responsibility, long working hours (especially because I was junior specialist) that I kept fretting and fuming about it. One part of me wanted to join that hospital fast but my anxieties and apprehensions would every time create a web of worries around me. No doubt, Universe was trying to help me because I desperately wanted to be with my husband but my own negative thoughts (Oh! how would I manage?) were working against my wish and I was not getting relieved from this small hospital (They were not ready to let me go till the time they found another suitable Anesthesiologist). My worries, anxieties, apprehensions had bound me in a vicious circle and I would worry about �When will I be relieved?� and on the hand about �How will I manage in the new place?� I was also doing my homework regarding some new Anesthesiologist who could come and join in my place, even if temporarily till the time someone suitable was shortlisted. This went on till around 2 and half months and I had exhausted all my options and had no other choice than to wait and wait. Then, one fine day I decided enough was enough�.and I would not think about any problems anymore and would try and live in the present and enjoy my kids′ childhood and I just left everything on God and asked Him to help me.

On March 28, I took my show on the road and spoke at the Niles Public Library about Social Networking for Fun and/or Promotion. Here's one of the photos taken before the program. I always like to snap some at each event as mementoes.
I want to thank Maryellen Essig from the library for including me in their Inside Writing and Publishing lineup there. I had a great time. The audience was responsive and asked salient questions, which fortunately I was able to answer.
I'll be speaking on the same topic at the Schaumburg Township District Library on May 13 from 7:30 - 9 pm. I'll be thinking up some fresh material to add to the mix from the other program. Stop by if you can. You're welcome to ask questions and/or add to the information pool.

Have you ever jump around from code to code only to find yourself not knowing what class file you were at or what method you were navigating from? I get lost all the time when I am digging around in code.
I used to use bookmarks to place where I want to remember. They are great but what if you forgot to create one? Is there a "Back" button like you have on your windows browser?
In Visual Studio there is! Check out the Navigate Backwards and Navigate Forwards button!
You can simply click backwards to see where your last mouse cursor was. I usually hit F12 on a method or class to see its definition. And sometimes I find myself down a rabbit hold. Just click on the Navigate backwards to get back where you were!
If they are missing, customize the Standard toolbar. The Navigate Forward and Navigate Backwards is on the "View" Category.

"From the beginning, the key to renewal has been the casting off of old skin." Mark Nepo said that in The Book of Awakening, and spring is the time of year we are reminded that casting off is good. It is part of the cycle of intention, resurrection, revitalization. Furry animals shed their winter coats, shells of baby birds crack open to be left behind – their work done.
We have our own form of shedding as we begin yard, garage and closet cleanups. We gratefully open windows to let fresh spring air blow through our homes taking with it the indoor winter environment that served us well but is now released with our appreciation and a blessing.
This casting off is something we can do anytime – not just in our physical world, but also in our behavior, our outlook, the choices we make. As human beings, we have an advantage many in the non-human animal kingdom don't have: retrospection.
Spring renewal can be a time to reflect on our lives. Maybe the longer, light-filled days will help us to better see which of our habits and perceptions are best left behind and which we should take forward in our own rebirth. Maybe our shedding begins with appreciation and a blessing for what serves us as we release what doesn't.
So as we surface, we take a deep breath and a good look…and begin again.

In these perilous times even a small hole in election security is too much
State election officials had a chance last Friday to give North Carolina voters complete confidence in their election process.
They chose not to.
The five-member N.C. Board of Elections voted to authorize three new vendors to handle paper-ballot voting in future elections. Two vendors' machines were approved unanimously; the third was approved 3 to 2; it is a machine by vendor ES&S that operates by touch-screen and produces a paper result of the voter's intentions rendered in bar code.
That code in turn is read by another machine. We agree with voting-rights advocates that this does not inspire the same confidence as a voter being able to see his or her "human-readable" choices on the ballot.
We think it produces a hole in securing the ballot, and in these perilous times even a small hole is too much. It is up to individual counties on which machines they choose, but the bar-code machine will now be an option.
We were optimistic in late July when the board delayed a final decision on the vendors, even though the delay came about in messy fashion. At the start of that July week, the board voted 3 to 2 to hold off on approving the three vendors. Then it appeared ready to reverse that decision and go ahead and give all three a thumbs-up; that was until Board Chairman Bob Cordle resigned after he publicly made a crude, sexist joke at a conference attended by hundreds of elections officials from across the state. His departure left the board locked at 2-2.
But Friday, board appointee Damon Circosta, a Democrat, joined Republicans David Black and Ken Raymond in moving forward. He said county elections officials had been pressing the board to make a decision.
Voting against were Democrats Stella Anderson and Jeff Carmon.
"Voters do not like this," Anderson said, according to the Raleigh newspaper. "Voters do not trust this."
The doubly frustrating aspect is North Carolina could have been ahead of the game but blew its lead. The GOP-led General Assembly in 2013 ordered all counties to move to paper ballots by January of last year.
Since that time, Russian-backed hackers attempted to influence the 2016 election results -- federal officials now believe hackers tried to access systems in all 50 states. Elections experts join North Carolina in the opinion that old-fashioned paper ballots are still the best way to protect voters.
While some counties have been able to comply, including Cumberland County, others did not or could not, despite a one-year extension. These include some of the most populated counties, like Mecklenburg and Guilford.
Terri Robertson, Cumberland's elections director, said Cumberland uses ES&S machines but they are the older model DS200s, which are traditional paper ballot counting machines. There are no plans to change that, Robertson says.
Six years was plenty of time for all of us in North Carolina to be on paper ballots now, with proper attention an investment from the state and local governments. Not only has that not happened, but the haste to beat out a second deadline has led at least some elections officials to think we need to authorize a hole in our ballot security.
The state's voters deserved better.

The Research Her was created with us in mind. The goals of this platform are to:
- Help us make better health and lifestyle choices
- Divulge research that has been done to solve everyday problems
- Highlight women of color doing research in all fields
- Emphasize the need for more studies focusing on underrepresented groups
- Promote and encourage the pursuit of research that has yet to be executed
Elissia Franklin, Ph.D. is a passionate chemist dedicated to uncovering science that everyone should know about. There is a gap in the amount of research that is being done for and by people of color versus those who are more represented. Elissia decided to champion these topics and continue the
A native of the Southside of Chicago, Elissia grew up understanding that there are systemic disadvantages when you are black and a woman. As she has matriculated in the science community, she discovered just how deep into higher education and other professional environments the disadvantages run. With her passion for science, she is not afraid to blaze a trail and represent in a field where we need people to see themselves reflected. She is passionate about teaching anything she knows to anyone who wants to learn and believes that knowledge should be accessible to all.
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign was the start of Elissia's professional career. She graduated with honors from the Department of Chemistry with a Bachelor of Science. Throughout her 4 years in college, she worked to improve resilience in the Black and Latinx communities through volunteering, opting into having difficult conversations about systemic oppression.

Climate Change Is Making Cities Sick And We Need To Act
Urban Canadians are feeling the impact of climate change. Flooding in Quebec this spring damaged nearly 1,900 homes in 126 municipalities, causing widespread psychological distress. Summer heatwaves are predicted to become more frequent and severe each year, putting more people at risk of injury and death. Vancouver and Toronto are working to manage these risks. Most Canadian cities need to work harder to include climate change in public health planning.
The Climate Change Adaptation Research Group at McGill University looks at how climate change is impacting human society, and what solutions we can design to protect ourselves. Drawing on evidence from our research into cities in Canada and around the world, we propose that cities will need to integrate climate change concerns into public health and the health-care sector more seriously.
Cities must also focus on the most vulnerable groups (such as low-income households and older adults) and emphasize the participation of citizens and the community in planning for climate change impacts.
Climate health risks in urban Canada
Heavy rains causing floods and mudslides are already frequent across Canada, as we've seen in Quebec and eastern Ontario this year, and in Calgary and Toronto in previous years. These events are predicted to increase in frequency and intensity. Violent thunderstorms and rising sea levels in coastal cities such as Vancouver and Halifax are also expected to get worse. Floods and violent weather cause injury, illness and death, as well as mental health effects of distress.
Heatwaves are expected to become more frequent and severe over the next few decades, causing heat stroke and even deaths, as well as respiratory and cardiovascular disorders. Increased air pollution in cities will also come from automobile exhausts, exacerbated by projected warmer temperatures. Urban air pollution is linked with eye, nose and throat irritation, respiratory conditions, and chronic pulmonary disease and asthma.
These climate change events will affect some groups more than others. Flooding is devastating to households lacking financial resources. Low-income families have reduced access to air-conditioned places. Older adults are more vulnerable to heat because of reduced thirst sensation, challenges of moving, visual or hearing impairments and often social isolation.
Children are also at risk during heatwaves. They depend on a caregiver to recognize the symptoms of heat stroke and have less ability to sweat than adults.
Get The Latest From InnerSelf
Which cities are leading and which are lagging behind?
Toronto and Vancouver are leading health adaptation to climate change both in Canada and globally. Most of Toronto's initiatives address extreme heat, along with flooding and air quality. Vancouver's health adaptation initiatives also focus on heat-related risks. Vancouver also places an importance on vulnerable groups, namely homeless residents and low-income households.
Montreal only released its first climate change plan in 2015, but the city has been a pioneer in protecting residents from extreme heatwaves since 1994. The heatwave plan involves monitoring signs of heat-related illness, frequent visits to home-care patients, opening air-conditioned shelters, extending pool hours and mass media communication campaigns. This has reduced mortality by 2.52 deaths per day during hot days.
Smaller cities face tougher challenges. Most Canadian municipalities simply do not have the resources and expertise to plan for the health impacts of climate change. Health adaptation competes with other important health priorities, such as smoking, obesity and poverty.
Can urban adaptation be done better?
Some argue that climate change needs to be integrated deeper into city plans across all sectors. Vancouver and Toronto are already experimenting with this. Vancouver has updated its building code bylaw to raise flood construction levels. Toronto now requires all new buildings over 2,000 square metres to include roofs with vegetation on them — to slow down the urban heat island effect and reduce the incidence of heatwaves.
Cities also need to place the voices of people closest to impacts at the centre of decisions. Low income and older residents, for example, are at the highest risk for heat-related illnesses or death. Many of these residents already suffer from health conditions and are more likely to experience social isolation and lack of support.
Another way to make adaptation easier is through collaboration and coordination. Municipalities can learn from each other, rather than reinventing the wheel. For example, it's important to make sure there is a strong link and coordination between local public health authorities and municipal governments; in most Canadian provinces, these two are separate.
International networks of mayors' offices such as C40 and Resilient Cities already work toward sharing knowledge and best practices.
Finally, cities should seek out adaptation options that have other health co-benefits. An example would be urban parks that provide shading from the sun but also serve as social amenities for recreation and socializing.
Preparing cities for the health impacts of climate change, then, needs to integrate climate risks into public health and the health-care sector. It needs to consider the risks for vulnerable people such as the elderly. It also needs to emphasize collaboration among cities and among government agencies.
With the federal government committing $125 billion to infrastructure from 2015 to 2025, now is the time to build health protections into how we climate-proof our cities.

Life After Carbon: The Next Global Transformation of Cities
by Peter Plastrik , John Cleveland
The future of our cities is not what it used to be. The modern-city model that took hold globally in the twentieth century has outlived its usefulness. It cannot solve the problems it helped to create—especially global warming. Fortunately, a new model for urban development is emerging in cities to aggressively tackle the realities of climate change. It transforms the way cities design and use physical space, generate economic wealth, consume and dispose of resources, exploit and sustain the natural ecosystems, and prepare for the future.

The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History
by Elizabeth Kolbert
Over the last half-billion years, there have been Five mass extinctions, when the diversity of life on earth suddenly and dramatically contracted. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth extinction, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. This time around, the cataclysm is us. In prose that is at once frank, entertaining, and deeply informed, New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert tells us why and how human beings have altered life on the planet in a way no species has before. Interweaving research in half a dozen disciplines, descriptions of the fascinating species that have already been lost, and the history of extinction as a concept, Kolbert provides a moving and comprehensive account of the disappearances occurring before our very eyes. She shows that the sixth extinction is likely to be mankind's most lasting legacy, compelling us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human. Available On Amazon

Thanks again, all, for an event we'll remember for a while.
Thursday, July 24, 2008
Thank You Fred and MagicMeets Staff!!!
This past weekend we attended MagicMeets in Harrisburg, Pa. My whole family went and we wanted to send a Big Thanks out to all involved in running this event. MagicMeets is a Walt Disney fan get together that was organized and run by Fred & Renee Block. Fred started this 5 years ago and it has grown since then. With Podcasters, Sponsors and even an Imagineer, we were entertained and had a blast. There were 550 attendees all looking to share Disney stories, talk to Disney experts in Travel and Imagineering, and most importantly to raise money for the Make a Wish Foundation. And raise money we did. Through Lou Mongello's Dream Team Silent Auction, the contributions of various sponsors at the event including MEI Travel, Tim Devine, ALLEARS.net and All StarVacation Homes. With the help of the WDWToday guys broadcasting live and collecting money, we were able to raise $20,000 dollars. Can you say WOW?!?! With all the fun we had during the day the amount of cash raised was just icing on the cake. I had read that the previous year was just under $10,000. Needless to say, the calendar is set to make reservations for this event next year. A couple of not so random thoughts: Top 7 Stacey calling Mike Scopa live, Way to Go Giants!, Dave Anderson's insights into Walt, WDWToday Podcasting live, Lou was not as short as I was led to believe, Deb Wills Pirating the Cruise Line, standard WDW lines everywhere but meeting new people this way was great, food was good, Fred and the Segway coming through, Mousesurplus selling T-shirts like we were at a concert, many chances for raffles, we did not get anything in the Silent Auction...look out next year, and grown men crying on a stage for a great cause; Priceless.

Very quick exterior-only, not-as-thorough-as-I`d-like job, but it was a favor to a good friend, and I think the results, though not perfect, were pretty dramatic.

Cutting pad with 3M Perfect it II, and a little Meg`s Scratch X. (Risky Experiment, but worked pretty well to get out the big scratches and deep swirls)

Li & Fung Limited, renowned global trading house, is supporting its Indian vendors through technical training and effective production system like Lean Manufacturing concept. Recently such programs were executed at Delhi-NCR based leading export houses. Technical experts from Li & Fung India's Bangalore office and Hong Kong, trained production team members, supervisors and operators of the apparel manufacturing units.
Interestingly, the company is using gadgets with specific software to provide training on above-mentioned subjects and the initiative is expected to boost the efficiency of apparel shop floor and play a key role in increasing apparel sourcing capabilities of Li & Fung as it is associated with renowned apparel exporters of India.
One of the managers of Li & Fung Limited who trained export houses' teams told Apparel Resource on the condition of anonymity, "Wherever required, we tried to change mindset as well as the way of working be it line balancing, work in progress (WIP), right first time, root cause analysis or waste minimization."
A production manager of an NCR- based export house whose team got trained, informed, "Earlier our checker use to submit a manual report but now after this training and with the use of gadget (Tab) now report is online and action can be taken immediately on this report. It will give the effective result as far as alteration or rejection is concerned."
Though these factories are already using the best production practices but the training focused on various areas of improvement as well as minute things, besides emphasizing on energy saving.

Last night I had my midterm in my Corporate Social Responsibility class, and I think I did ok. There were some fill-in-the-blank questions that were impossible, but for the most part I think it wasn't too difficult. So, because I had been
studying cramming, I have not worked on the Gucci sweater. I do have about 1/4 of the placket neck ribbing done, and that is moving along pretty well. I will post pictures once that is done. Right now it's all bunched up and makes the sweater look goofy!
I want to work on it tonight, but instead I am going out to dinner with school friends. There are some of us who have already graduated, and some that are in other classes this semester, so it's nice to get together once in a while and catch up.
This is such a quick knit! I have to say that I never really liked drop shoulder sweaters. I don't know if it's that they are not as form fitting, or that they were 'too easy', but I have to say it's appropriate for this style. It can be layered and not add too much bulk to the wearer. I do think the sleeves are going to be pretty easy as well…no sleeve cap to shape! The tricky part will be sewing the sleeves in evenly. But, like I said, I like seeming when it all comes out so pretty!
I think it's getting to be time to order yarn for the real version of the sweater. Darn! I have to order yarn! I know, it's such a hardship.
I want to put this out there as just something to think about…I might need some test knitters to make sure the sizing is right, etc. So, if you are interested, keep this in mind when planning projects. I wouldn't be able to offer anything other than you getting to see the pattern before most everyone else, but sometimes that's the payoff…

Gregg Sulkin's abs are not something one can get too much of. So when we saw the British actor put them on display at the gym again – in a video – we got excited.
26-year-old Gregg Sulkin is the star of Marvel's TV show The Runaways, as well as being a model. It was but a month ago that we got to see him shirtless at the gym – and now, he's at it again.
Gregg posted the video on his Instagram account, with a caption that starts with "I've been getting a bunch of DM's from you guys…" – and no, it's not what you think. At least not the DMs he's talking about.
That video certainly inspires us. At least in some respects.
We'll keep watching.

So here's my daily thought. Recently I've noticed, more than ever, the amount of hate and judgement that is written/said online. (Not towards me so much which I am very thankful for) but towards friends, loved ones, as well as people I do not know. So before writing a potentially hurtful comment online, just think. Take a deep breathe & ask yourself: "Do I NEED to write this?" – The internet can be a nasty place, but it can also be a wonderful engine that brings people & communities together. Let's be kind & focus on bringing everyone together, rather than pulling people apart.

Everything You Need To Know Before Booking A Reflexology Session
Why You Should Care About Your Feet…
Have you ever stopped and thought about how often you use your feet?
Sure, they're tough…but even the most resilient body parts need maintenance every now and then.
Your feet have an extremely important function within your body; it's their job to hold you up against the weight of gravity so that you can move efficiently around the world.
Additionally, they're the place that you will typically source most of your power (the pushing force against the ground towards something).
Whether you're at the gym, at work or even spending time with the kids, you'll most likely be using your feet.
Unfortunately though, when they start to get tired, your whole body will know about it.
What Are The Benefits Of Reflexology?
Stimulates Your Nervous System
Most people don't realise this, but insider your feet, there are over 7000 nerve end that are connected with all sorts of areas around your body.
By stimulating those nerves, you'll notice more energy through your whole body!
Helps With Anxiety & Depression
Your feet rarely get attention, so when you finally do something that helps them to feel better, your mind will become more aware of the sense of touch and less aware of negative thoughts.
Helps You Get A Good Night Of Sleep
By relieving tension and strain in your feet, you'll feel calmer.
And as we all know, it's easier to sleep when you've not got a million things running through your head.

They perform "You Got It Bad" together in ATL.
Justin Bieber's music mentor made a surprise appearance at JB's latest Purpose concert in Atlanta on Wednesday.
Way back when, Usher decided to help mold little Justin Bieber into a superstar. He offered advice on venturing through the scary world of superstardom while coaching the youngster on how to maintain his unique tone of voice. A few legal cases and a bunch of No. 1s later, Bieber and Usher reunited on stage to show concert-goers it's still all love.
Love u too bro https://t.co/Us1rrqTVVv
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) April 14, 2016
Bieber began performing Usher's "You Got It Bad" with only a piano before his famous friend took the stage. Watch below:
Not so fast, Usher also performed "I Don't Mind" and "U Don't Have To Call."
Thoughts? Let us know in Exhale.

My dad died at 49 and my mom died at 58. I didn't really see them age with all white hairs and rocking a wrinkly face but looking at Bill Gates' recent photo, it paints aging.
I used to get scared of getting old. I was afraid of having weak knees, poor eyesight, and looking really bad. Then I finally calm myself with the reassurance that instead of leaning on the fearful decline of physical stamina, I have to ensure that the person inside radiates with so much love, peace, and happiness that the outside doesn't really matter because the inside will be so beautiful that the outside gets youthfully ravishing.
I am starting to appreciate the idea that the journey is a lot more important than the destination, because the journey takes longer, and requires more love. It is indeed a price to reach a fantastic outcome but if getting there was burdensome then it failed.
May I always have the right attitude in living life. 🙂

Hello again!
First of all, thank you to everyone who wished me better last week. 🙂 I am feeling better. Not tip-top, but getting there.
If you're not familiar with WIPpet Wednesday, it might be a good idea to check out this post before continuing. For those of you who know what WIPpet Wednesday is, but haven't gotten to know me yet, I'm doing it a little differently from the other WIPpeteers at this point. Rather than randomish excerpts of a novel I've been working on for a while, I'm writing a novel specifically for WIPpet Wednesday. (It was in the works anyway and I figured this would be a good way to get it moving while I finish my current WIP.)
This week I explain why both women and men are trained as warriors in Arvid's otherwise patriarchal society. Eventually I will probably write out the legend behind it for myself. For now, I lay the Readers Digest version at your feet. I'm sure you would have found it amusing to watch me jump through mathematical hoops as I searched for the right equation to make today's date fit the excerpt.
24, for the 24th, divided by the 3 from 2013, multiplied by the 2 from 2013 = 2(24/3) = 16 sentences
Easy, right?
As a bonus, and for clarity, I tacked the final paragraph from last week's WIPpet in front of this week's official 16 sentences. If you're not thoroughly confused by now, would you please explain it? Because you are waaaaay ahead of me.
In the center of the ring, sitting with the Elders were five women, the oldest of them not more than fifty, gazed at the gathering crowd. Two of them sat stiffly in chairs with blankets covering their legless laps. One of them wore a veil. Another juggled stones in her remaining hand, seemingly unaware of their presence there as she swept her eyes over the room.
Then there was the fifth woman. Arvid gazed at her, awed and envious. A hard light shone in her eyes. She sat with the quiet pride of an ancient tree, solid and unmovable, bowing only to the greatest storms. Numerous scars adorned her better than any jewel.
She was Master's wife, Masterwifename, the only woman with any combat training the day the Raven Nation attacked. The men of the Arvid'sTribe Kingdom left their cities and towns unprotected after receiving an urgent message from their allies, begging them for help against a new enemy. Three days later, the men of the Raven Nation destroyed all the outlying villages, leaving no one alive. As they approached the main town, Masterwifename rallied the women. She hid the elderly and the young, instructing the many young women who were too fearful to fight not to let a single child be taken. The rest met the invading army at the city gates, barring the entry. Masterwifename stood on the front line, leading as both general and soldier.
The women fended off the Raven Nation for six full days, until the men returned to take over the fight. After a battle so bloody neither side could count its losses, the Raven warriors fled. Of the three hundred or so women who met the invading army, only 46 lived through the fight. Of those, only the five now seated with the Elders survived their injuries. Since that day, women were trained in combat as well as men so the Arvid'sTribe people would never be defenseless again.
If you enjoy reading novel excerpts from up-and-coming authors, click on the appropriately labeled, smiley, little, blue fellow in the right-hand menu. WIPpet Wednesday is hosted by K. L. Shwengel. Anyone with a novel to share is welcome to join. Just follow the linky (the aforementioned blue dude) and click the "Add your link" button.

37-40 Crawler's Nest
* Supports 1 party.
Target mobs:
Primary: Nest Beetle
* Beetle
* Not Aggro
* Links by Sight
* Weak against Ice
* Weak against Light
Nest Beetles make a nice continuation from Worker Crawlers, and are just down the path as well.
You can camp at the part where the tunnel begins to narrow, as the Caveberries start to thin off, or in the middle of the Caveberries themselves. If you do though, be extra careful not to accidentally hit one of them, otherwise a swarm of Caveberries will tear your party apart (yes, they link like crazy).
Your puller will need to take note of a Nest Beetle pop in the tunnel on the way back to camp, which may link, but that usually isn't a big problem.

This camp gives good xp up to about 42, but you may run out of mobs to kill every once in a while...I can definitely confirm that this only supports one party as well.
- Unknown said...
I have to agree; when you're the only camp there and you run out of beetles, it's a good thing and definitely means only one party.
