3 Tips For Buying Emeralds
Diamonds may be forever, but they're not everyone's preference. Some people prefer their jewelry with a splash of color. If you're shopping for a piece of jewelry for yourself or for someone special, consider going with this year's trendiest gemstone, the emerald. The brilliant green stones make an eye-catching accessory, and the stones look great with gold, silver, or platinum settings. If you know what you're looking for and how to shop, emeralds can also be a relatively affordable treat for yourself or gift for a loved one. Take a look at a few helpful tips for picking out and paying for gorgeous emerald jewelry.
Shop at the Right Time
The best time to buy any jewelry is when there's the highest demand for it. That's because competing jewelry sellers will try to outdo each other with sales, resulting in lower prices for you. Times of high demand will also be the times when there are the largest varieties of settings and styles available to choose from. That means that the weeks leading up to Christmas and Valentine's day are good times to shop, and for emeralds, the month of May is also a great time to find deals – emerald is the birthstone for May.
If you don't mind having a somewhat smaller variety of styles to choose from, you can also find some good deals immediately after high-demand occasions, when the stores are trying to clear out old stock and make way for new items. The week after Valentine's day, the early part of June, and the beginning of January are all good times to look for clearance deals on emeralds.
Know the Four Cs
If you have experience shopping for diamonds, you can also apply some of that knowledge when it comes to shopping for emeralds. Just as you can with diamonds, you can tell the value of emeralds by looking at the four Cs: color, cut, clarity, and carat.
Many people assume that the most valuable emeralds are the deepest green ones, but that's not always the case. While it's true that valuable Columbian emeralds tend to be deep green in color, emeralds mined in India are a more bluish green, and these can also be very valuable and beautiful. Another good option is the Brazilian emerald, which has a bright, light green color.
Clarity refers to the number of blemishes or inclusions in the stone. Emeralds are never completely flawless, but the fewer the blemishes, the more valuable the stone is. However, if you're shopping for fashion, rather than investment value, then a few extra inclusions may not be such a bad thing. These so-called flaws can often add to the unique beauty of the stone.
The most popular cut for emeralds is, unsurprisingly, the emerald cut. This cut is the one that best enhances the color of the stone. However, gorgeous emeralds are available in round, square, marquise, oval, and many other cuts.
Carat refers to the weight of the stone. It's something to consider, but it's one of the least important considerations when it comes to valuing emeralds. A heavy stone full of flaws is going to be less valuable than a smaller but clearer stone. A stone that is brilliant and translucent and fits into its setting well, and is generally appealing to your eye, is worth more than an ugly but heavy stone.
Consider Lab-Created Stones
If you're not concerned with the resale value of your jewelry, or you are interested in jewelry that doesn't come with the heavy environmental impact attached to mining for gemstones, then you may want to consider shopping for lab-created stones instead of natural ones.
While they're lower in value, lab-created stones are not paste imitations of real gemstones – a lab-created emerald is chemically identical to a natural emerald. They're simply created quickly by manmade processes instead of over time in the earth. Because they're formed more quickly, they also have fewer flaws than natural stones. As a result, you can get a larger emerald with better clarity for less money when you shop for lab-created stones. A gemstone expert with specialized equipment would be able to tell the difference, but your friends and acquaintances will never know that your high-quality emerald was created in a laboratory instead of mined from the earth.
Now that you know how to pick out a terrific emerald, you can get started shopping. You can't go wrong by enhancing your trendy fashion jewelry collection or surprising someone you love with a dazzling and fashionable piece of emerald jewelry.

Culture Trip stands with
Black Lives Matter
Picture a rectangle with 14 red and white alternating stripes and a dark blue square in the top left–hand corner. The lines represent the 13 states of Malaysia and the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Labuan and Putra Jaya. Inside the square, the blue symbolises the harmony of Malaysian people, is a vertical half-moon and a star. The 'C'-shaped moon signifies Islam. Each point on the 14-point star represents each of the Malaysian states and Federal territory in the same way as the stripes.
In 1947, an architect named Mohamed Hamzah entered a competition to design the Malaysian flag. With influences from the former British East India Company's style of alternative stripes with the Union Jack in the top left–hand corner, a public vote chose his design out of 373 others. According to some, the Malaysian flag shares similarities to the United States. But the appearance is purely coincidental. The Malaysian flag was first raised on September 16, 1963 after the declaration of the Federated States of Malaya, North Borneo (Sabah), Sarawak and Singapore. Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad asked the country to name the Malaysian flag in 1997. The public chose 'Jalur Gemilang', or Stripes of Glory in English.
The original star featured 11 points. Three more were added when Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore joined Malaya. In 1965, however, Singapore left Malaysia becoming an independent nation. One extra point remained. A decade later, Kuala Lumpur became a Federal Territory along with Labuan and Putra Jaya in later years. The star's fourteenth point today is often said to symbolise the Federal Government rather than any individual state.
Each of Malaysia's 13 states, as well as the Federal Territories, have their own flags. Visit different parts of the country and expect to see both the region and Malaysian national flag hanging side-by-side. Sabah often gets positive feedback for their design featuring Mount Kinabalu on a light blue background.

Big things happened in 1787, 1854, and 1932:
1787 — The Continental Congress passed the Northwest Ordinance. The purpose of the NWO was enacted to establish the Northwest Territory consisting of the lands beyond the Appalachian Mountains, South of the Great Lakes, North of the Ohio River, with the Mississippi River as the Western boundary. The NWO provided that the territory would be settled by the admission of new states rather than the expansion of existing states. The NWO also prohibited slavery in the new territory. In effect, the Ohio River became the boundary between slave and free territory in the region." This early attempt to limit the expansion of slavery was in keeping with what America's founding fathers had said 11 years earlier in the Declaration of Independence, that all men are created equally.
1854 — Stephen Douglas was the father of the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 allowing people in the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves ("popular sovereignty") whether or not to allow slavery within their borders. The Act served to repeal the Missouri Compromise of 1820 which prohibited slavery north of latitude 36°30'. This led to Bleeding Kansas or the Border War, a series of violent political confrontations involving anti-slavery "Free-Staters" and pro-slavery "Border Ruffians." It lasted from 1854-1861 to the Battle of Ft. Sumpter and the Civil War.
It was the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 which led to the creation of the Republican party in July of that year. The new Republican party was formed for one main reason: to oppose the expansion of slavery. It's other goals were to encourage new industry in the North, establish land grant colleges, and to pass an act of Congress providing for homesteads in the new territory. Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act into law in 1863.
1932 — The election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1932 saw blacks voting overwhelmingly for Democrats for the first time. Until 1932 blacks voted almost exclusively for the Republican party because it was the party of Lincoln, the party that ended slavery. Since 1932 the Democrat party, the party of slavery, Jim Crow, lynchings, segregation, and racism in general, has enjoyed a steadily increasing share of the black vote so that today the Democrat party can command over 90% of their vote. Democrats have become so accustomed to having a super majority of the black vote they largely take it for granted. More and more, however, black people are beginning to resent the Democrats' assumption that they own the black vote and changes may be coming. Blacks may begin moving back to the Republicans, the party that has never wanted to own them.
There was one more big thing that happened in 1932. The 1932 Ford with a flat head V-8 engine extended the thrill of speed to the working class. Previously, only rich people could afford cars capable of going fast. It also gave moonshiners the ability to outrun revenue agents.

Physician newly diagnosed with MS
I am a 42 yo male surgeon who began having symptoms in June 2017. First noticed some peripheral vision changes and retro eye pain with inward gaze in one eye. I have always been healthy and would have ignored this, but it was different enough to make me want to have it checked out. Saw my optometrist who noted a 3% visual field loss in the eye, the optic nerve was normal in appearance on slit lamp exam. Retro eye pain worsened with all directions of gaze over several days, saw opthamologist who noted some loss of red color vision in one quadrant of same eye. He recommended MRI with contrast of brain and optic nerve set up for early July 2017.
2 days prior to MRI, awoke with right arm paresthesia, shoulder/arm weakness, and soon developed some right ear numbness. Once per day would have tingling pain along right side of body that lasted only seconds and not associated with neck movement. MRI confirmed optic nerve inflammation and showed several small periventricular white plaques, some old and new based on the contrast enhancement of some.
Saw neurologist in July and neuro exam was normal even though I did not feel normal in that arm. He reviewed MRI and said it was likely MS and wanted a spinal tap. I started oral prednisone taper and had good partial response over 24 hours with shoulder weakness and paresthesia. Eye pain, ear numbness, and right sided body tingling had resolved on its own already.
Spinal tap was done July 17th and was easy and painless luckily. Got results at end of July that showed 4 antibody bands. I had been researching DMT meds and talking with a couple people I knew with MS and their experience with Rebif and Copaxone (both have done well). My neurologist suggested Plegridy based on its every 14 day injection vs 3x/week for Rebif or Copaxone.
Insurance approval took several weeks, but my Plegridy starter pack arrived 8/24/17. Gave my first injection on Friday night 8/25. Took 2 Motrin and 2 Tylenol PM prior to injection. No flu like side effects so far on the 63mcg first dose.
I canceled most of my surgeries in July. I started back doing my most physically demanding surgeries in August, but I have purposely cut my schedule back to see how I do with some fatigue and was worried about side effects of the Plegridy.
Looking back my wife noticed me bringing more work home in the evenings and fatigue that probably started in March or April of 2017. I know I am lucky in that my time to diagnosis and starting DMT was very short. I researched symptoms and read forums like this to educate myself. I am posting this so others may read this and help them if they experience any similar symptoms.

Welcome to MS World, and of course I'm sorry you're here. MS is probably not the optimal? dx for a young surgeon, but hopefully with early dx and DMDs you have many years of successful work ahead of you.
Wishing you the best and take care
A warm Welcome here too, MDvsMS!
Thank you for sharing your experience to help others and, hopefully, other's experiences may help you as well. You are fortunate in getting a fast dx and a DMT. I also wish you many years of successes in the future.1st sx '89 Dx '99 w/RRMS - SP since 2010

Hi MDvsMS,
I am also a physician with MS. I got my diagnosis in 2003, so I have been living the dual life of physician/patient for a while now. I am not a surgeon, so I won't pretend I can imagine what you've been going through these last few months. If it would help in any way, I'm here and I would be happy to answer questions or,... whatever. Just let me know.

Welcome to MSWorld! We're all here to share our experience living with MS. Let us know how we can help.
Just curious... hope this helps:
How did you select the doctor who is treating your MS? Is he/she an MS Specialist?
In my experience as a patient, having a neuro and team who specialize in MS, including experience with thousands, or at least hundreds, of MS patients will be a big plus during your journey living with MS.
Do you have access to a Comprehensive MS Center in the region where you live?
Just trying to be helpful here.
Best Wishes!

Thanks for the replies.
I appreciate the offer to talk and I will probably take you up on that at some point. I am sure you have already faced many of the decisions that face me in the future. Decisions of how to decrease stress, deal with call/sleep, and keeping busy with clinic/surgeries to cover my share of overhead expenses in private group practice. MS is so unpredictable, I worry if/when I have a relapse how that will impact my ability to contribute to the practice and put my partners in a bind.
I stay positive about MS, it's easier because my symptoms are mild compared to many I have read. If it progresses faster than I hope, I have private specialty specific LTD insurance that would cover my family. I operated yesterday and love what I do, I texted my wife between cases that whatever happens, if I have 10 cases or 10,000 more cases left in me I was going to enjoy every one of them.
I worked with a couple of neurologist during my medical school days (16 years ago) that I liked personally and have trust in. I was happy to get an appointment with one of them quickly after a phone call from my doctor. He is a general neurologist about 80 miles away and I have had one appointment and a phone call with him. It works out well logistically as I travel to that town once a month to teach resident physicians in the morning and can schedule my MS appointment in the afternoon without missing more time from my practice. T
here is a MS specialist about 2.5 hours away that another person in my office goes to for her MS. She likes her and switching to the MS specialist is always a possibility in the future if I think it would be better for me. For now I plan to stay with my current neurologist.

Hello and welcome. Your timeline from onset of symptoms to diagnosis and accompanying tests is similar to mine (symptoms presented in June, diagnosis by August). I am not a physician but an attorney and I too, worry about how a relapse would affect my work. At the moment, I am just taking things as they come, one day at a time. Hey, it works for booze (I am in recovery) so it can work for this too! I hope the Plegridy works for you and gives you minimal side effects. I am currently awaiting insurance approval for Gilenya.

Hello MD
Hello MD
I am diagnose myself since Nov16. Been on Tecfidera.
I keep a close eye on new therapies. I found newly approved drug called Mavenclad. Merck is approved in the EU. In USA, the drug is called Cladribine. It is not allowed to be marketed for MS in USA yet. However, it could be used off label. I have been trying to find a doctor in USA willing to treat me with it. You may have better luck since you are a doctor. You should look into this option. The thinking is that this drug works to "reset" the immune system. It is also able to cross the blood brain barrier. If you go down this path and find a willing provider, please let me know, because I would be next in line.
Good Luck,
Welcome to the community! Sorry you are going through this.
I am a pharmacist and I was diagnosed in 2011 at age 29 . I have just had my third exacerbation (first episode of ON). This is similar to an issue that I struggle with as a healthcare provider. At what point am I worth more to the healthcare system as patient vs as a healthcare practicioner?
I work with post-transplant and hepatitis C patients and before they get started on treatment I often describe the process to them as "taking on another part time job- managing your health- you have to commit x hours /day or x visits per week to managing this" .
It is so much harder to practice what we preach!! I work in a large system, but it doesn't worsen the burden that is passed on to my co workers if I have to call out or go on disability - it SHOULD, but in reality it doesn't.
Have you read "When Breath Becomes Air?" by Paul Kalanithi? He is a neurosurgeon who battled terminal cancer. I don't agree with all his conclusions- but I found it interesting to learn his thought process on being a human/healthcare practiconer/ patient.....Diagnosed 7/11/11
On Copaxone 7/11- 12/13
On Tecfidera 12/13- current

Latest News
Planning to extend your home this year?
- Details
- Category: News
Things to consider that will save you money.
In the last three years, 18% of homeowners have extended their property.
It can be an attractive idea, it adds space and value, plus often improving the look of a place. But more space means more space to heat, and that can come with added costs.
Building Regulations stipulate that you have to take on certain energy efficiency measures when extending, like insulating cavities and floors (plus lofts if there is one), making provisions for low-energy lighting wherever possible, and installing thermostatic valves on any new radiators. But beyond mere compliance, real advantage can be gained from seeing an extension as an opportunity in the life of your home to take affirmative action on reducing energy costs and improving comfort.
This applies to both the extension itself and beyond. Think about investing in the most energy efficient options your budget can stretch to. First and foremost, building materials.
While the builders are in, it might well be an idea to consider installing wall insulation on the whole home. This saves on cost and hassle, while making all rooms warmer and potentially bringing fuel bill savings of £250 to £350 or more a year, depending on your home and heating system. These are not the only advantages of an all-over approach to wall insulation. External wall insulation gives the extension and the rest of the home the same look, and a good render can make your home weather-proof for years.
Heating costs as we all know are rising rapidly, before you make any changes to your home check out if you are entitled to any financial assistance either from the energy companies or the Government. It's easy to do and can save you a lot of hard earned cash, check out on this site or call for help.

Weather Savvy
by PamFord Davis
7/11/2011 / Devotionals
How did we exist before the "Weather Channel" and access to instant weather forecasts on our computer or smart phones? As a young girl in the Syracuse suburbs, I trusted the forecast of the man who wore the star, the "bright red Texaco star" Ron Curtis, a television weatherman wore the crisp white uniform of a Texaco service station attendant as he pointed out temperatures and weather systems upon a weather map.
I also heard frequent forecasts on my favorite radio stations WNDR and WOLF. It may be a real strain on your memory banks but there actually was a time when disc jockeys gave the time, temperature and weather, introduced songs and artists. Automation systems and satellite broadcasting offers consistency and saves on payroll but comes up short on localized personality and information. That's another story for another time; the subject at hand is our dependence on weather forecasting.
Meteorologists are usually highly accurate and provide a valuable service to people in all walks of life. Mother knows how to dress youngsters for school; farmers are knowledgeable about weather in planting, growing and harvesting seasons and outdoor sports enthusiasts know if they have clear sailing or will be housebound. We become weather savvy; do we know what the meteorological signs really foretell?
Jesus needed no weather authority to keep Him abreast of current conditions. "He told them: If the sky is red in the evening, you say the weather will be good. But if the sky is red and gloomy in the morning, you say it is going to rain. You can tell what the weather will be like by looking at the sky. But you don't understand what is happening to you now (Matthew 16:2-3 CEV)." I trust the Man who names the stars!

Anytime you visit a foreign country it is best to understand the rules of etiquette. In some countries a gesture can be a friendly greeting, while in others it is a rude offense. Traveling to Morocco, a country located in North Africa, is no different. To best enjoy your Moroccan holiday, there are certain things you should know about cultural etiquette as it relates to language, dress code, greetings and dining.
Moroccans primarily speak Arabic, specifically a Moroccan Arabic dialect. If you elect to go trekking in the mountains or in the Sahara Desert, you should expect Arabic to be the main language you hear. French is another common language of the country; however, it is spoken mostly in the northern region in places like the Rif Mountains, Algiers and Casablanca. Berber-Arabic can be found in the mountain and desert regions as well. English, Spanish and French are spoken and understood in cities such as Fez, Marrakesh and Casablanca. It would be polite for you to learn some conversational French before your trip.
Morocco is mainly a Muslim country so your dress should reflect the cultural norm. Dressing in Muslim tunics is not appropriate for a foreigner; however, you should not wear skimpy shirts, shorts or skirts. Instead, you should wear modest clothing such as skirts that reach below the knees, light cotton pants and shirts that cover your shoulders. Beachwear is appropriate at tourist resorts along the Mediterranean and Atlantic coast, but not at local restaurants in these same areas.
Hospitality is key to the Moroccan culture. After introductions have been made, it is customary to ask about family or friends during a conversation. You can greet people with handshakes as long as they are the same gender. A "Western" handshake tends to be firm and enthusiastic, whereas in Morocco a gentler handshake is required. Women must offer their hand first if they wish to shake hands with a man. A Muslim woman, especially those in full veil tend to refrain from physical contact. In this situation a slight bow or head tilt of acknowledgment would be acceptable.
Public affection such as kissing and hugging is not tolerated in Morocco. To a certain degree hand holding is considered a platonic gesture and is not as taboo as other affectionate displays. Cultural etiquette also states that a woman, when young and unmarried, should travel with a group or be accompanied by a man, rather than going alone to a public place.
Dining Etiquette:
It is customary to be invited to a family home for a meal while in Morocco. If that is the case, you should not refuse any offer of food and graciously accept any present given to you when you are invited in. It is customary to bring a gift, such as flowers, sweets or pastries. In certain households, the men and women dine separately and require a more conservative dress code.

There are compound sentences that, in terms of structure, they appear in a different way. Usually, a compound sentence is joined by a coordinating conjunction; but there are instances in which it is the semicolon that separates the two clauses that form a compound sentence. So, the post, Compound Sentence with Semicolon Examples is to give you samples of such sentence.
In addition, the marginal coordinator, yet, also, in some instances, joins compound sentences together (See Compound Sentences with Yet). So aside from the obvious coordinators that join two clauses together to form a compound sentence, some other linguistic items can also join compound sentences together such as for, nor, so, etc. But our emphasis here is on Compound Sentence with Semicolon Examples.

BORN OF GOD – Pastor Chris
Tuesday, August 21, 2018
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God… (1 John 3:1).
The word "sons" in our opening verse is the Greek, "teknon," which means a child or offspring; one that's born of another. So, John, in the scripture above, lets us know that we're offspring of God; we're born of Him.
When you were born again, it was an actual spiritual birth; it wasn't something "religious" that transpired; you came to life as a new creation, born of the Word, and the Word of God is God: "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever" (1 Peter 1:23).
The reality of our divine origin and identity is incomprehensible to the people of the world. Read our theme verse again, this time into the following verse 2. It says, "…therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him…" (1 John 3:1-2).
We're associates of the God-kind; this is a present- hour reality. The Bible says as He (Jesus) is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). We have His life, we have His Name, we're in Him and He's in us. We're sons of God "NOW", not when we get to heaven. Take advantage of your sonship; your rights as one who's literally and vitally born of God! God is your Father, He owns the world and has made you a joint-heir with Christ. There's nothing you can't have. Glory to His Name forever!
Here's something so profound: The Bible says whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world (1 John 5:4); "whatsoever" includes "whosoever." 1 John 4:4 says, "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." "Ye are of God" simply means that you hail from God; your origin is in Him; you're born of Him; thus, you're more than a conqueror; an overcomer in this life. Hallelujah!
Dear Father, I thank you for having begotten me in the Gospel through Christ. What an honour and privilege to be called your own, to be an associate of the God-kind. How sublime! I'm one with the Creator of the universe; an heir of the Sovereign! Nothing is too good for me, and nothing good is withheld from me, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Depression can be helped with self compassion. Are you feeling flat, low and basically suffering because you are critical about what is happening in your life? Or perhaps you are aware you as a person are the problem and you are just not happy with yourself right now. These feelings can spiral you down towards depression. Yet depression can be helped with self compassion. You can use this tool as a powerful force for change.
What is self compassion?
Kristin Neff is an eminent researcher and specialist in this area and she describes it as "when we suffer and yet we begin caring for ourselves as we would care for someone else we truly love. Self compassion includes self kindness, a sense of common humanity and mindfulness."
In the past psychology considered that the best way to have well – being was to work on your self esteem. However, more recent research has uncovered that chasing self esteem can create problems. Mainly difficulties arise with how you develop this self esteem. Do you need to be special and above average? Or do you get it by comparing yourself to others? Or maybe you acquire it by having a great need for admiration, in a self centred way. This is why recently self compassion has overtaken self esteem, as a way to feel better about yourself. It is a proven tool for helping with feelings of depression. You will start to feel better by developing self compassion.
Common concerns that come up about self compassion
Some people say that self compassion is weak and self pitying. However, it is actually a strong and powerful force for change within you.
Self compassion provides the safety needed to see yourself clearly, it is not about being self indulgent or making excuses. In fact learning to use and practise this tool requires effort. You will be developing new habits and persistently attempting to think and feel in new ways. It is actually for the brave and courageous part of you, that wants to feel better and get more out of your life.
How to use self compassion to motivate yourself when you feel down
You may believe if you are critical towards yourself that this will motivate you. Yet often it can lead to you feeling anxious and worried. You can become less confident as you begin to believe you are incapable of change. Self compassion provides a way for you to feel supported emotionally and this actually creates the ideal environment for change and growth.
The research on Mindfulness Based Self Compassion
Self compassion reduces anxiety, depression, stress management, perfectionism, body shame and fear of failure. It increases according the research ~ life satisfaction, happiness, confidence, optimism, curiosity and gratitude. Depression can be helped with self compassion. In the power of self compassion I'll explain how to go about developing self compassion but for now what you need to know is :
"You are here to embrace your imperfections. It's not OK, you are not Ok and that is OK".

Kyoto Prefecture
Kuniko Mukai says she was terrified of going to the Tokyo University of Agriculture. She was a country girl, raised in a picturesque fishing village, and she was worried the people in the capital would be too aggressive. She wasn't all that keen to study agriculture either. That seemed like the path straight back home to a life in her family's brewery, and she wanted to escape.
Her parents pushed her to go, though, and she soon wrote home to thank them. Tokyo people turned out to be friendly, and the college had a charismatic microbiology professor who inspired in her a passion for brewing. He would challenge her to produce some truly unorthodox sakes. One involved toasting rice before brewing, another used only koji, and she tried one using a strain of red rice that grows in her hometown of Ine in rural Kyoto.
It's that last one that put the Mukai brewery on the sake map. It looks and tastes like no other rice brew and has a chameleon-like ability to pair with food. The process involves at least two major breaks from sake brewing norm, but the details are closely guarded secrets.
Kuniko is now the toji ( master brewer) at Mukai, working alongside younger brother Yoshihito, the kuramoto (brewery president).
The method of brewing Inemankai is so secret that no outsiders are allowed in the building when they make it. It's only produced once a year, at the end of each season, because it turns the sake press pink and would stain anything pressed later. This brew unfolds with sweet berry, earthy, and smoky notes. It is the only Kurokura sake that's pasteurised and filtered. Kuniko-san says it has to be that way to lock in the colour, so we'll bend the rules for this one.
Serve chilled. Pairs with wagyu, venison, pigeon, many smoked or fermented foods, or berry desserts.

Interesting move, @walkerteespring. It seems you're focusing more on becoming a destination and brand to buy cool shirts and clothing as opposed to just a platform for creative people to sell. Curious to hear more of the backstory in this direction!

Those who know me will be aware that I'm very decidedly an atheist. Nevertheless, as Samuel Butler said, all atheists should go to church once in a while, so yesterday I went along to Holy Communion, it being Easter Sunday – partly because I retain a nostalgic affection for the Church of England (I used to be a choirboy) and partly because I thought I'd drag my children along and bore them out of their skulls, just as I used to be bored out of mine.
The first thing that struck me was the richness of the language. In the prayers and hymns one is constantly hearing, saying and singing words like glory, love, power, eternal, Heaven, angels, life everlasting etc – so much more satisfying than the anaemic prose of everyday life. There is something nourishing about being exposed for an hour to such positive and poetic language, so rich in associations. One doesn't normally get much chance to hear words like that, let alone sing them. It's a mood-enhancer.
The second thing was the frequency with which the phrase 'son of God' was used. It's never occurred to me to wonder about this before – the idea that Jesus is supposed to be God's son is so familiar one just gives it a free pass – but really, what does it actually mean? How could God have a son? Surely (if he existed) he wouldn't be the sort of being that sired children? He doesn't reproduce; he doesn't have genes to pass on. If Jesus had had a DNA test, it would have revealed… what? OK, since God is supposed to be magic he could just create Jesus ex nihilo – but then in what sense is Jesus God's son, as opposed to just another of his human creations, like the rest of us? What does that relationship consist in? Perhaps a theologian would say that the word son is a metaphor here. But then what is it a metaphor for?

Accenture enhances Industry X.0 capabilities; buys hardware engineering firm Mindtribe, announces intent to acquire embedded company Pillar
Accenture made this week two major moves to expand its Industry X.0 practice. The company acquired hardware engineering firm Mindtribe and entered into an agreement to buy smart embedded software company Pillar Technology. The two acquisitions will boost Accenture's ability to help companies redefine smart connected software and physical products as the lines blur between the physical and digital world.
Accenture Industry X.0 helps industrial, high-tech, software, automotive, energy and utility companies address the shift to digital products and services, transform their engineering, manufacturing and field operations, and digitize their enterprises.
Founded in 1998, Mindtribe provides expertise and services in areas including mechanical and electrical engineering, embedded software development, product realization and rapid prototyping. Steve Myers and his leadership team will continue to lead Mindtribe's business and take on additional responsibilities for Accenture Industry X.0 in North America.
The Mindtribe team will work hand in hand with Accenture's Industry X.0 team and professionals from Accenture Interactive's San Francisco Fjord studio, which received a talent boost with Fjord's acquisition of design & innovation firm MATTER last year. Mindtribe and MATTER have previously collaborated on the invention of Well, a smart home water conservation system.
Pillar Technology, founded in 1996, offers rapid and agile development and testing of enterprise-grade applications, software products and platforms associated with physical products, and digital services engineering for hardware products. Upon closing, Bob Myers will continue to be responsible for the Pillar Technology business. In addition, he will lead Accenture Industry X.0's smart products and embedded solutions practice. His team is expected to continue in their roles and support Pillar Technology's integration into Accenture Industry X.0.
The Mindtribe acquisition has been completed. Completion of the acquisition of Pillar is subject to customary closing conditions. Financial terms for both transactions were not disclosed.
"Products are no longer simply physical things – they are evolving to be connected platforms that are powered by artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and cloud and edge computing," said Mike Sutcliff, group chief executive, Accenture Digital. "With our Industry X.0 capabilities, we are helping our clients create the products of the future with the required expertise in digital technologies, software development, product engineering, as well as user experience and product design. These acquisitions will fuel our drive to become a leader in developing connected products and services."
"Our investment in innovation is an investment in our clients," said Julie Sweet, Accenture's chief executive officer, North America. "These acquisitions follow the opening of our new Industry X.0 innovation hub in metro Detroit, further expanding our capabilities to help companies across a range of industries rapidly co-create, prototype and launch connected products and services to unlock new revenue streams and business models."
Mindtribe has a team of 40 professionals and is based in San Francisco. It creates innovative connected hardware tightly integrated with digital services. Having pioneered the use of agile techniques for hardware, the team can deliver user value faster and shorten development cycles. It has created class-leading technology products for many iconic brands and high-tech companies.
Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, Pillar Technology has a team of 320 people and offices in Des Moines, Iowa, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Palo Alto, California. It possesses more than 20 years of experience in the rapid/agile development of high-quality and user-friendly embedded software used in smart, connected products such as autonomous vehicles.
Pillar Technology fuses elegant physical products with digital services that increase the benefit for end users and offer new ways to attract and serve customers. It has worked on reinventing the concept of hardware products with many iconic brands and high-tech companies.
"Mindtribe has always sought to build groundbreaking connected products and services, and we are proud to be behind some of the world's most high-profile product successes," said Steve Myers, CEO of Mindtribe. "Now, 20 years after the foundation of Mindtribe, the most exciting part of our journey is still ahead of us, and we are looking forward to moving ahead as part of the Accenture Industry X.0 team."
"Our ambition is to provide the best possible software — embedded or connected – at lightning speed," said Bob Myers, CEO of Pillar Technology. "We focus on value and fast feedback loops that puts user experience at the forefront. Joining Accenture's Industry X.0 practice will allow us to bring this focus on speed-to-value to even more clients. We're excited to be a part of how Industry X.0 will help clients reach new heights in the U.S. and globally."
As an area that represents significant growth opportunities for clients, Accenture is focused on strengthening its capabilities in Industry X.0 globally. For example, Accenture recently launched a new Industry X.0 innovation hub in metro Detroit, acquired Boston-based product design and innovation firm Altitude, and completed its acquisition of strategic design consultancy designaffairs.
Mindtribe's San Francisco office and team offer all interdisciplinary skills and physical hardware engineering equipment that clients need to build connected products from concept through production.
Pillar Technology will add a unique approach, called "The Forge," that brings together business strategists, creatives, developers and clients to collaborate on solving business problems in a no-constraints, innovative environment.

As outlined in an earlier article on this Web site, Miami Valley waited until the fourth case of Legionnaires' disease appeared before taking action to prevent additional cases. The man in question has turned to Mr. Zacher for help in his effort to hold Miami Valley Hospital responsible for this oversight.

Last month, I reached out to local Boston vendor, Jennifer from Cookie Creatives to create favors to thank our truly amazing clients. The cookies she made with the Lemon Drop Team's logo came out spectacular! Jennifer is such a sweetheart with so much talent and really accommodating. If your a Bostonian and haven't noticed, all the roads are blocked off due to the marathon and it's horrible getting in and out of the Back Bay area. I gave Jennifer a call and with out any hesitation she offered to meet me somewhere I can get to. Great service yeah? If you haven't tried Jennifer's hand decorated sugar cookies, you definitely should. Tell her your friends at Lemon Drop Team sent ya! Here are photos of Jennifer's creation for LDT.

There are three samples:
Younger Boomers turning 50 in 2010
Older Boomers turning 64 in 2010
Boomers who turned 50 in 1996 (who are now turning 64)
Current residents of Del Webb communities
I thought these two charts were of interest. I am not somebody who reads a great deal into the difference between perceived and actual age, however, it is interesting to see the consistency of these numbers.
I thought the extremes of behaviour about exercise were very illuminating. It has been my experience that one group of older people "get it" about exercise and another cannot be bothered. There is not much in between. Looks like the UK and the US are similar in that respect. Dick Stroud

Michael Emerson talks about the history of race and immigration in the United States. Many people want to maintain black/white categories to those who are immigrants, and even those who are long time citizens of the United States. These divisions clearly show that despite contemporary beliefs, we are still a divided nation.

Nigel is one of our Directors & Co-Founders here at Aptum Legal. With more than eleven years as a barrister, honing the skill of identifying the issues that are critical to resolving a dispute, Nigel's aim was to create something different, to revolutionise litigation.
Nigel's path to law was certainly not average! He started out working in government, studying an Arts degree and majoring in politics. He ended up working in a variety of professional roles, both in Australia and overseas, but he got to a point in his career where he felt something was missing. After much consideration and contemplation, Nigel felt that he needed a big change. In fact, that change meant embarking on a life in the law. His motivation to study law was born out of a natural curiosity to want to try new things and out of a desire to stretch himself.
Juggling family life with studying law was certainly a challenge, but it was one that Nigel took on with his usual energy and thoroughly enjoyed the process.
After finishing his Juris Doctor, Nigel took a role with international law firm Baker McKenzie as an articled clerk. He worked in the Tokyo office where he was afforded the opportunity to learn from a number of excellent mentors.
While he enjoyed practice at the time, he recognised quickly that life at a big firm made managing time with his young family difficult, and that ultimately, he wanted more control over his time. This realisation is what led Nigel to the Bar.
Having not been in law for a very long time, Nigel didn't have much of a strategy when it came to making it as a barrister. His focus, however, was on doing the everyday jobs so well that clients kept coming back. Being accessible and doing basic things well, such as quickly responding to emails or not charging clients when they have a quick question, made a positive difference to Nigel's time as a barrister.
Nigel believes that in the commercial law bubble, you can become institutionalised and lose a sense of what the real world is like. However, having such a diverse range of experience is what makes Nigel more empathetic with clients and gives him a stronger understanding of the economic and financial dynamics of businesses. He is conscious about trying to understand client's and their business, and in turn, how he can best help them resolve their disputes.
Nigel believes that, first and foremost, lawyers need to have a clear understanding of what the client is trying to achieve. Secondly, lawyers need to be able to distil large and complex amounts of information down to what is critical for their client's matter.
So while the Bar was a great place of learning and challenge, Nigel recognised that there was a real opportunity to work more closely with clients and deliver a better level of service. As a barrister, Nigel got to see both the best and the worst of how disputes are handled and dealt with, and the kinds of frustrations that clients deal with on a daily basis. He felt that he could do something constructive and help clients overcome these frustrations by starting a firm that, at its core, was about fixing this. Being able to give clients a better experience is not simply a nice marketing term, rather, it is the very reason for Aptum's existence.
As well as building a firm that better serviced clients, Nigel was committed to creating a place that could attract great people and give them the platform to do their best work. He feels strongly that a culture that keeps people motivated, energised and creative ultimately leads to much better outcomes for clients.
In his own words: "We think law is a creative endeavour, and we want our lawyers to feel they can be creative too".
Overall, Nigel brings a fresh, new approach and a desire to make meaningful change to the experience for clients and the way lawyers practise. Outside the office, you will most likely find Nigel at his local coffee shop. He has admitted that sometimes he will spend days smashing out work in his local. So if you love coffee and need help with a dispute, why not give him a call?
You can contact Nigel on 8639 0564 or email him at email@example.com.

Top Talent Shortage Slows RIA Growth
SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- Finding the right firm to acquire is hard enough, but attracting top talent is becoming increasingly problematic for growth-minded registered investment advisors.
The advisory industry is losing about 3,000 to 4,000 financial advisors annually who arent being replaced, Mark Tibergien, chief executive of Pershing Advisor Solutions, said on Thursday during a keynote discussion at the Deals and Deal Makers Summit here.
The resulting shortage is an acute problem for the industry, pushing compensation costs up and profits down, he said.
The problem may get even worse for RIAs hoping to lure experienced advisors to their firms, said Corey Kupfer, director of entrepreneur services at MarketCounsel, an Englewood, N.J.-based consulting and compliance firm.
Large platform service providers and aggregators are about to step up their own efforts to lock up wealth managers looking for a new home.
More providers will begin to offer advisors considering selling their practices succession backstop plans to lock them up and keep them off the market, Kupfer told the deal makers at a session on human capital.
If the advisors are looking for a succession plan or want to eventually sell their firm, these companies will agree to be buyers if needed, while also allowing the advisors to pursue a better deal if they are able.
In addition to standard inducements such as equity participation, profit sharing and stock options, larger firms are also increasingly offering phantom equity to advisors bringing over substantial books of business, Kupfer said.
Phantom equity allows advisors to be contractually treated as if they owned equity with a right to participate in net profits, though without ownership rights such as voting at board meetings, said Kupfer, who is also an attorney for MarketCounsel president and chief executive Brian Hamburgers law firm.
At least one recruiter for a well-funded RIA said in an interview that he isnt concerned.
There is no magic trick for bringing on talent, said the recruiter, who asked not to be identified.
Its all about financing and deal structure, he said. If we really want someone to join us, we have the money and we can make it happen.
RIAs without deep pockets should consider recruiting individuals in other professions with transferable skills, said in an interview Frank Pare, president of Oakland, Calif.-based PF Wealth Management Group.
This business is really about people skills, he said.
Someone who works at Nordstroms may have those skills. A social worker may have a level of empathy that is appropriate, Pare said.
We have to scout out people in those professions who are looking for mid-career opportunities, he said.
The success of tuck-ins, or incorporating a solo practitioner or a small team into an existing RIA, has been a bright spot for talent recruitment, Dan Seivert, founder and chief executive of Echelon Partners, the Manhattan Beach, Calif.-based investment bank, said during a session.
Tuck-ins are a trend that is getting good results, he said. It appeals to experienced advisors who dont want to run their own business or have a time-to-market issue if they are breaking away.
The strategy has worked well for Los Angeles-based Miracle Mile Advisors, which has done at least four tuck-ins since its launch in 2007.
Its not an acquisition strategy. Its about finding talent and finding partners, managing director Brock Moseley said during an interview.
The advisors, who have come from wirehouses and banks are happy to be given a voice in how the firm is run instead of being cogs in a wheel, he said.
They come in as equals, they receive a significant percentage of the business they bring and there is a path to equity, Moseley said. Its about like-minded, experienced advisors who want to grow together.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
"That nurse taking care of you, she could be a belly dancer," says Gabrielle Marshall. "Or that pharmacist." Or that marketing manager, in Marshall's case. She has her day job, but after work she still finds time to put on her elaborate costume and perform as "Bashira" in the Good Vibrations dance troupe -- the headlining act in this Saturday's Belly Dance Fantasy Festival at the San Leandro Marina Center (15301 Wicks Blvd., 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., $5).
The all-day festival is packed navel-to-navel with artistes from the Bay Area's huge belly dance community. More than fifty individual dancers and ensembles are tightly scheduled into the day's events, with time out for movement and yoga workshops, a shopping bazaar for costumes and jewelry, and live music by such artists as Sirrocco, Walking Maksoom, and Ellen Cruz. Many of the dances are based on rituals of everyday life, Marshall explains, and dance styles include Egyptian, Turkish, and Tunisian, each of which is distinguished by its music. Overseas political tensions notwithstanding, belly dancing in America is a deliberately cross-cultural enterprise. "If anything," says Marshall, "the belly dancing community has raised awareness of Middle Eastern culture."
The festival is the brainchild of Tatseena, choreographer and director of the Good Vibrations troupe -- no relation to the female-friendly sex shop. Good Vibrations' twenty members, who range in age from 15 to 58, clearly see belly dancing as more than just a harmless, arguably sexy spectacle. To its participants, it's a way of life. Stopping in at Tatseena's polished Web site (tatseena.vajravision.com) opens up a vast, unfamiliar world to the uninitiated, yet the 32-year-old Marshall insists it's a warm and cuddly place to be. The troupe, like the festival, provides "someplace where we can do what we want, a place where we can celebrate our sisterhood," says Marshall, who has been studying the art form for four years. "It's not just a dance group, it's a support group. It's really an uplifting experience, a celebration of our womanhood." Veiled references aside, she's got a point there.

Thomasons and Clear Structures rebrand reflects business growth
Civil and structural engineering firm Thomasons is one of our most established clients, having formed in 1947. After decades of success, it has recently undergone an exciting new rebrand to reflect its ongoing business growth and future direction.
Thomasons has been continuously expanding since its inception, and has refreshed not only its own brand and website, but that of its off-shoot glass engineering consultancy Clear Structures, showcasing the extensive range of services across all the sectors in which they boast expertise. Each company also has an exciting new logo, to coincide with the refreshing of the brands.
Nick Russell, Senior Director at Thomasons, who recently won an Expert Witness Award, says: "Our business has grown and matured significantly in recent years and it felt the right time to signal the changes in our practice with more dynamic and modern corporate identities. The new websites give an insight into the breadth of our work and the many high-profile projects in which we are involved. We have exciting plans for the future and look forward to working with our many partners as we continue to develop our business and services, both in the UK and internationally."
Thomasons isn't the only company that has rebranded recently – you're reading this on our dynamic new website, and our client Ecoled has also redesigned its website and logo too.
