The ancient Greek dramatist Aeschylus said that "in war, truth is the first casualty." It's also safe to say that the second casualty is human development.
Conflict not only stagnates development — it reverses development, leaving the country in a state of fragility.
One in four people in the world live in a fragile state devastated by past conflict. Their governance apparatus weakened, fragile states are less able to generate and mobilise domestic resources. That leaves them more dependent on foreign aid, and in need of greater support to provide even basic services like access to clean water, adequate sanitation and hygiene.
Right now, people living in fragile states account for 65 percent of the global population without access to safe drinking water, and 54 percent of those without adequate sanitation, as outlined in the World Development Report published by the World Bank.
We believe that the provision of water and sanitation aid, while a a critical life saving intervention in its own right, can also serve as an excellent entry point for how we support these fragile countries. Not only do we improve access to these necessities, but in doing so we also bolster and increase the capacity of the recipient government. Fragile and conflict-torn states strengthen the case for effective cooperation between donors and developing country governments.
WASH in Niger
WaterAid has seen how political instability and inadequate water and sanitation access go hand-in-hand in some of the poorest countries in the world.
Niger is not an exception. We have been beset by political turmoil and armed conflicts. Economic and financial governance have been marred by corruption and poor administration. According to the World Health Organization and UNICEF, half of Niger's population lack access to water, with the figure increasing to 61 percent for people living in rural areas. The sanitation situation is even more critical, with 90 percent lacking access to adequate sanitation, and 78 percent practicing open defecation.
Niger's failure to create an acceptable public health environment for its people has been due to a lack of clear policy and strategy in the aftermath of recurrent conflict and structural damage. It has had a negative knock-on effect on the welfare and prospects of future generations of Nigeriens. That is why authorities make the WASH sector one of their top priorities for the development of Niger.
Each year, over 12,000 children under the age of five die from preventable diarrhoeal diseases attributable to unsafe water and poor sanitation in Niger. According to the Ministry of National Education, the school completion rate for boys is just 55.8 percent and for girls only 47.7 percent. It is unlikely to be a mere coincidence that 50 percent of schools do not have modern water points.
Plans in motion
Since 2010, WaterAid has been responding to the challenge in Niger through a rural program to increase access to water and sanitation facilities for vulnerable populations in nomadic areas and island populations on the Niger river, and a national program to strengthen the performance of the WASH sector throughout the whole country.
We are also engaged in multilateral platforms like Sanitation and Water for All, a global partnership between governments, donors, multilateral agencies and civil society to create a political and institutional framework to improve water and sanitation coverage so everyone can gain access to these services.
SWA has a primary focus on those countries which are most off-track on the water and sanitation Millennium Development Goals, most of which are fragile states. Partners work together to strengthen national planning of sanitation, safe drinking water, investment and accountability frameworks to improve the targeting and impact of resources, and the initiative supports the national processes for developing and strengthening WASH frameworks.
One tool for achieving this is the National Planning for Results Initiative, which aims to accelerate WASH coverage in countries where it is lacking. It provides intensive support to bring together representatives from donor and developing country governments and other partners to create or restore an effective framework for WASH in fragile states like Niger, where we are working with government and other partners to strengthen the WASH sector through this mechanism.
Change in approach
WaterAid believes water, sanitation and hygiene are vital components of the national development process.
The call now is for a change in approach, linking humanitarian engagement to a longer-term development focus — helping to build the health and productivity of the nation while supporting the development of accountable systems.
What this means is an increase in aid investment, and a need for policymakers, donors and practitioners to ensure that their investments are coordinated and support the development of capable and accountable national service delivery systems.
Currently only 6 percent of global development aid goes toward WASH. These are basic necessities, prerequisites to humane living standards and recognized as fundamental human rights. Increasing funding on this must be a priority.
Simply put, water, sanitation and hygiene are the foundation stones of building a stable, peaceful and developing state.

Today I continued work on a new project, well at least new to me. Still helping a team here get DD documents done by the end of the week. I get a daily email from Instructables that highlights interesting projects, and noticed an 'ible for making Szechuan chicken. I've been interested in learning how to make this dish, which I first had at the Szechuan Palace at the Chinese Cultural Center in Phoenix, AZ. It's like crispy, spicy, chicken, but the most notable flavor/sensation is the tongue numbing feeling this dish provides. Turns out this is due to the use of Szechuan Peppercorns. At lunch today I took the Orange Line over to Chinatown and stopped at the Jia Ho Supermarket and picked up some of that magical spice, along with some other ingredients. I was skeptical I would be able to recreate that dish, but the Instructable was spot on, and it came out nearly identical to what I remember ordering. A definite new addition to my rotation.
It is supposed to snow tomorrow, and my good friend Scott Weiss will be in town visiting. He will stay with us tomorrow night and hopefully join for our weekly pilgrammage to Santarpio's!

I attended the Bridgend Minority Ethnic Forum, 'Health and Social Care Provision' event, 30 October 2018. The event was organised by Yaina Samuels, Regional Co-ordinator for the Ethnic Minority and Youth Support Team (EYST).
Councillor Dhanisha Patel (Bridgend County Borough Council) gave the welcome address. This was followed by Suzanne Duval of Diverse Cymru, who introduced the BME Mental Health Workplace Good Practice Certification Scheme Cultural Competency Toolkit. I gave a presentation on Race, Conflict and Community Relations in the context of lived experience, diversity, bias, discrimination and access to health and social care.
This event presented a unique opportunity for dialogue across different platforms, bringing together the expertise of health professionals and service users. Subsequent discussions and workshops demonstrated a genuine commitment among agencies to improve access to services for minority ethnic community members.

PORTLAND, ME, Mar 9, 2017 – Chalkline announces the release of VisiWord v17.1 which includes a number of customer driven features and enhancements. Features include new design manager templates for formatting all documents in a project to ensure a consistent look and feel. This feature, a high priority for many customers, relieves the tedious and time consuming effort required to format project documents to meet client demands. The VisiSpecs Design Manager controls the look and feel of the documents both during editing as well as publishing submissions. One format does not fit all client needs. Changing the page layout, fonts, paragraph spacing, headers/footers, number spacing and more is difficult to do and error prone. Whether managing the layout and format of a single document or hundreds, VisiSpecs gives users the advanced control over their documents to get their job done faster and to deliver a higher quality product.
VisiSpecs Automatic Style formatting enables the delivery of the final product in the right format meeting the client's needs. The styles may be user defined and vary depending upon the document set as VisiSpecs does not force one format to be used for all documents. Using the powerful style features of Microsoft Word with the VisiSpecs project document control and publishing delivers the optimal solution.
Engineers are asked to meet the document formatting and header/footer requirements of many architects which can be very time consuming and error prone. With VisiSpecs, architects can either have the engineer work on the same project through VisiSpecs project sharing or email the architects design guide template which assigns the correct header/footer and format to the engineering documents.
Inserting documents from manufacturers or various web sites requires modifying all the formatting to match the rest of the project documents. This is also very time consuming requiring stepping through the entire document to match the format, numbering, and layout. VisiWord v17.1 includes a style mapper to quickly convert the styles to a customer's standard set of styles. With the consistent set of styles, the ability to reformat the entire project is enabled by the VisiSpecs Automatic Style application in v17.1.
VisiWord v17.1 also includes better user control over the publishing path saving time coordinating documents for delivery with all the other project documents. For project teams, Chalkline also added an Activity Report letting users know what other team members have been doing within the project since their last login. Additionally, ribbon menu selections have been reorganized facilitating ease of use and time savings.

1. Your moisturiser
At the heart of any good skin care routine is a great moisturiser. However, for sensitive skin types, it can be hard to find one that doesn't make matters worse. Less is often more when it comes to your moisturiser; this includes paying special attention to what's *not* in the formula. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra is a dermatologically recommended moisturiser that's formulated with minimal ingredients to reduce the risk of irritation, and is free from nasties like fragrances, alcohol and lanolin.
2. Your eye cream
The skin around your eyes is ultra-thin and sensitive, so it's not uncommon for eye creams to leave you with puffy, red eyes, rather than the youthful crow's feet-free results that the product promised. La Roche-Posay's Toleriane Ultra Eye Contour is formulated for sensitive skin so it's gentle, but it also contains hardworking (but non-irritating) active ingredients like Neurosensine™ and niacinamide to plump and nourish.
3. Your sunscreen
For all the great things sunscreens do - protecting against sun damage, skin cancer and premature ageing - it can also wreak havoc on sensitive and allergy-prone skin. This is one of the most important products in your skin care line-up that you never want to skip, so you need to find one that you (and your skin) love so you will actually want to use it. A hypoallergenic formula is also key. Try La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Ultra-Light Fluid Sunscreen SPF50+ - it gets bonus points for wearing so well under makeup.

During a family visit to the Ktzi'ot prison near Be'er Sheva, guards noticed that the 5-year-old son of one of the security prisoners was behaving strangely. After searching him, they discovered that he had 10 cell phones hidden in his underwear that he was attempting to smuggle into the prison.

A security prisoner serving his prison sentence in the Ktzi'ot Prison in southern Israel was sent to solitary confinement Wednesday after prison guards managed to stop a 5-year-old boy from smuggling cell phones into the jail.
During family visitation time at the Ktzi'ot prison, prison guards with the Israel Prison Service noticed that a visiting child, the son of one of the security prisoners, was acting suspiciously. They searched the boy and found 10 mobile phones hidden in his underwear and 3 SIM cards hidden elsewhere on his person.
The security prisoner who was to receive the contraband was moved to solitary confinement and the Israeli Prisons Service members on site opened an investigation into the incident.
Last year, former MK Basel Ghattas of the Israeli-Arab Joint List party was convicted of sneaking 12 cell phones, 16 sim cards, two chargers and an earpiece to Palestinian terror convicts while visiting them in Prison. Ghattas was sentenced to two years in prison as part of a plea bargain in which he decided to resign from his position in the Knesset.

Beyond Basics opens Family Literacy Center
thanks to founding partner General Motors
DETROIT – To help teach Detroit families to read and prepare for the workforce, the Beyond Basics Family Literacy Center opened its doors on Oct. 17 at the Durfee Innovation Society. Thanks in part to a $250,000 grant from General Motors, the center will provide literacy, GED and SAT prep and workforce development services and more.
In August 2018, the national unemployment rate was 3.9%; in Michigan, 4.1% and in Detroit 9.2%. It's no secret that illiteracy is a major contributor to unemployment. According to the World Literacy Foundation, the economic cost of illiteracy in the United States is estimated to be over $300 billion.
"This isn't a charitable contribution, it is an investment in the city," said Terry Rhadigan, executive director of Corporate Giving at General Motors. "Beyond Basics has a proven track record of lifting students' reading skills to grade-level in astonishing time frames. This partnership will expand their platform outside the classroom to positively impact hundreds of young adults in Detroit."
Beyond Basics started working in Detroit in 1999 and through its work realized that illiteracy is a crisis and a generational problem. By providing a literacy center in the heart of the community, entire families can access the support they need to learn to read.
"We are grateful to General Motors for providing the resources to extend our services deeper into the community. If you cannot read in this country you are essentially locked out of an education and without an education your choices in life become much more limited," said co-founder/CEO of Beyond Basics Pam Good. "Reading is an essential life skill. The Beyond Basics Family Literacy Center brings our support right to those who need it. Only through literacy can we break the generational cycle of poverty in families and create opportunities to rebuild our community one family at a time."
Beyond Basics Family Literacy Center programming and support include:
- Literacy Suite (Reading Tutoring, Art with the Masters, Publishing Center, Expanding Horizons)
- GED Prep
- Online Diploma
- SAT Prep
- Essay writing
- Resume writing
Beyond Basics Literacy Suite
Beyond Basics gets students reading in four to 14 weeks using trained reading tutors who provide intensive one-on-one and small group reading sessions with a researched-based, customizable, reading curriculum.
Beyond Basics Literacy Suite
- The Read to Rise Tutoring program: A literacy intervention program based upon Tattum Reading System (TRS) methodology that combines the best of systematic phonics, auditory processing, and literature-based instruction to create a streamlined, multi-sensory program including immediate reading application with high interest and phonetically controlled books.
- Publishing Center: Helps students write and edit original stories which are bound into hardcover books.
- Art with The Masters: Provides lessons about master artists that include history, geography, foreign language and artistic techniques that students use in a variety of projects.
- Expanding Horizons: Provides partnerships and mentoring programs to help students build vocabulary and comprehension.

Nowadays there are so many pushchairs available which, though they may come at a bargain price, won't provide the best experience for you or your little one. Intelligent pushchairs use innovative technologies and design in order to offer the most practical, functional and comfortable travel option for your lifestyle. Here's a guide on what to look for when choosing a high performing pushchair and why an intelligent stroller like the Mima Xari can make looking after your baby as simple as can be:
The modern busy parent needs a versatile pushchair or baby stroller that can cater for numerous travel situations. For the road trip, the public commute, an easy stroll or a safe place at home, intelligent pushchairs are easily and quickly convertible, giving you the option to change it into a more compact stroller, carry cot or seat.
The Mima Xari pushchair takes the form of an innovative, patented cocoon seat pod, which can be converted in 15 seconds into a convenient carrycot simply by unzipping the seat. The seat is completely removable, with a removable 'safety bar', so it can be used as a high chair at a table.
Getting value for money is a priority when choosing the best pushchair for you and your baby. A good pushchair will be able to adapt as your baby grows, making it a reliable travel companion for as long as you need it. Forward or parent facing seat options allow for ease of use, and also look for a pushchair that has adaptable height and recline positions as this will give you the most options depending on your baby's needs and development. As well as adjustable positions, the Mia Xari has three recline angles for the seat pod – flat for fast asleep, semi-reclined for relaxed and upright for your fully awake baby. The canopy hood also creates minimal, partial or total shade for protection when you're out on a sunny, wet or windy day.
Often, pushchairs are only compatible with the brand's own car seats, which in some cases could be costly. When looking for an intelligent pushchair, it may be worth checking whether it will be car seat compatible with your existing car seat or more than one brand. The Mima Xari pushchair is compatible with the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix and Pebble or Cybex Aton and Cloud, as well as its own range of innovative car seats.
Your choice of pushchair should be guided by where you'll be using it – are you in an urban area or will you be taking your baby for walks in rural areas with rough terrain? Intelligent pushchairs will usually have features to combat different areas, such as lower suspension for a smoother ride or larger front or back wheels for better stability and handling, especially on stairs. As well as this, the Mima Xari has an extremely light, 'L' shaped chassis which is perfectly balanced for easy manoeuvring. It also features an enhanced flip-flop friendly brake pedal, which makes taking your baby around busy areas much safer.
Intelligent pushchairs are ideal for holidays or trips in busy areas, as they are compact, lightweight and easy to collapse or fold to be stored in the car or at home. The Xari pushchair, simply folds down with a press of a button and lift of a lever. You can also remove the wheels if you need the pushchair to occupy even less space – it's small enough to fit in the boot of a Mini.
You'll also need to consider storage options on the pushchair, so you can easily and securely carry your baby's essentials or shopping around, without losing manoeuvrability. An intelligent pushchair like the Mima Xari, uses two magnetically fastened lidded buggy baskets for a tidy appearance and protected storage. Plus, the wipe clean seat surface creates a hygienic environment for your baby, giving you improved usability for those inevitable spills and stains.
Even if a pushchair has an intelligent design, if it's not comfortable for your baby you won't be getting the best value for money. There are many pushchairs that use memory foam padded seats for ultimate comfort, but you'll need it to be durable enough to last until your child is ready to leave the pushchair. With a memory foam padded seat pad and carrycot mattress, the Mima Xari is an ideal balance between comfort and intelligent design. The unique seat pod is made from innovative EVA foam material that provides the most ergonomically supportive seat possible for your baby - totally undistorted by any sagging canvas fabrics.

The last full HMIP inspection was in November 2017 . To read the full report follow the links below. In the latest report the inspectors said:
" HMP Gartree is a medium-sized category B prison in Leicestershire. Built mostly in the 1960s, it is unusual in that it holds only prisoners serving indeterminate sentences, 90% of whom are serving a life sentence. The clear majority present a high risk of harm to others. A recent change in the profile of prisoners sent to Gartree eant that an increasing number of those held were in the very early stages of their sentence and, as such, were not necessarily ready to complete offending behaviour work and faced the real prospect of many years at the prison before onward progression into the wider prison system. This shift in the population had presented some specific challenges.
Our last two inspections of Gartree in 2010 and 2014 found a safe, stable and respectful establishment which managed its high-risk population well. At this inspection, we found that outcomes for prisoners had deteriorated across three of our four healthy prison tests, particularly in safety. The stability we have praised in the past had been undermined by staff shortages that seemed to impact on nearly all aspects of prison life; this was evidenced by managerial drift and by delays in fully coming to terms with the challenges posed by a changing population.
The prison was no longer safe enough. Despite some positive features, the management of newly arrived prisoners and their induction were lacklustre and a missed opportunity to set the right tone with prisoners facing long years at the prison.
Almost a quarter of prisoners in our survey now indicated they felt unsafe, up from 10% when we last inspected. In common with so many prisons, levels of violence and victimisation had increased, bringing what had previously been very positive lower levels into line with comparable prisons. A concern was the very significant increase in assaults on staff, some of these being very serious. Some work had been done to try to make the prison safer but it was inconsistent and insufficient, often taken in isolation and not coordinated or shared with the wider staff group.
Use of force had similarly increased to a level now consistent with similar prisons but, when used, seemed to us justified and well supervised. Use of segregation had also increased but remained lower than that seen in comparable prisons. Prisoners held in segregation were reasonably well cared for but they were a cohort of often long-term residents and/or were very troubled and challenging individuals. Yet more work needed to be done to better meet the admittedly intractable needs of these men.
Security was generally proportionate, although the quality of intelligence – normally reflective of the strength of relationships between staff and prisoners – was weaker, a seeming result of staff shortages and staff inexperience. Almost half of prisoners thought that illicit drugs were easily available but, although increasing, mandatory drug testing data suggested usage was not as high as elsewhere in the prison system. The prison's response to drugs issues, both in tackling supply and supporting those with a drug problem, nevertheless needed to be much better.
The incidents of prisoners self-harming had risen dramatically, in fact they had almost quadrupled since our last inspection. There is no doubt that Gartree holds some very challenging prisoners, often with complex mental health problems and long-term needs, and a large proportion of the self-harm incidents related to these men. However, there was no strategy which considered the particular difficulties confronting those serving in determinate sentences to understand the causes of, and tackle, this dramatic rise in incidents. Support for them lacked focus and the case management of those in crisis was not good enough. A small number of prisoners had been subject to assessment, care in custody and teamwork (ACCT) monitoring for extraordinarily long periods, one for two years; another prisoner had been subject to constant observation for over a year. The prison had lost its way in trying to care for these prisoners and plan for their recovery.
Gartree remained a reasonably respectful prison , although again deterioration was evident. The physical environment, the quality of accommodation and services to support daily living were all sufficient. We saw evidence of positive and useful staff-prisoner relationships which had clearly been established over time, but for the many new staff, long periods of lock-up meant that effective relationships had yet to develop. Work to promote equality had been neglected, which had resulted in what we evidenced to be quite mixed outcomes for different groups with protected characteristics. Health provision had deteriorated and was of particular concern. Severe nursing staffing shortages meant that nursing provision focused on crisis management and medicines administration, which created significant gaps in planned and proactive health and social care. Our judgement was somewhat mitigated by the fact that a new health provider had only recently taken on responsibility for health, so there was a reasonable expectation that matters would improve.
Staff shortages meant that prisoners spent far too much time locked up. Prisoners were immensely frustrated by the lack of consistency and predictability to their day. Managers tried to give prisoners notice of additional lock-up periods but the staff shortages were so acute that prisoners were regularly locked up at short notice for substantial periods of the day and this severely undermined work, training and education. There were some innovative attempts to promote the better use of prisoner time but the disruption to daily routines was pervasive and during checks we found 44% of prisoners locked up during the working day. The number of work or education places had been increased but unemployment remained too high. All of this was particularly disappointing as the quality of education, training and work provision was good and prisoners achieved well.
The core responsibility of HMP Gartree is the management and progression of some very dangerous men. Over 90% were assessed as presenting a high or very high risk of harm to others. As in many other areas, staff shortages had a detrimental impact on offender management. Many prisoners had too little contact with their offender supervisors and too little was done to motivate and encourage them to reduce their risk and progress. An impressive range of offending behaviour programmes was offered but it needed a review to reflect the changed population. At our last inspection, we commented positively on the introduction of the therapeutic community plus (TC+) and psychologically informed planned environment (PIPE) unit, which enhanced the provision of the original long-standing therapeutic community. At this inspection, although undermined by staff shortages, all three communities continued to be very effective. With such a risky population, public protection was a high priority and well managed. Very few prisoners were released and all received bespoke release planning.
To conclude, our sense was that Gartree was a prison that was not as good as it could or should be. It had some difficult prisoners to manage but also had some significant advantages: a relatively stable population; long-term prisoners, among whom many would have a significant personal investment in the need to cooperate and progress; and a clear institutional function and purpose. It was clear to us that staff shortages had played a substantial part in Gartree's deterioration, but that was not the whole story. There were evidently a number of processes that needed tightening but, more significantly, there was a need for renewed managerial and strategic focus to re-energise the prison, tackle some of the challenges and avoid a drift into complacency. It was striking, for example, how few of our previous recommendations had been achieved. We left the prison with some additional recommendations which we trust will assist improvement going forward.

How To Put Together An Event Using Furniture Hire
Organization have so many different reasons for them to hold events. The purposes could be new year parties, annual public meetings, a fair well party for a staff member and even a party to welcome a new team member. It does not matter what the event is the important thing is that the even goes on without any issue coming up. If you don't have the venue nor the facilities then you will require help. WE can find out what will assist you to have a high function.
In Many instances you want to hire people to contact people who will provide a place as well as furniture for the party. When getting the furniture make sure it is enough so that you have everyone seated. Handling all the logistics on time will save you cash as well as time.
Fast and foremost, identify a venue where you will hold the event. You can use facilities in your offices like the board, or conference hall. If they are not available then you can source from other locations. Other organization will have these facilities and they will give you many how many people their conference room can hold when people are seated in different styles. Have a list showing how many people will be in attendance and if they have confirmed they will be there. Having this knowledge will help you organize the venue appropriately to fit attendees.
After having the venue, check to see if you have enough seating space. If the seats are not available or not enough then it's time for you to make a call to an event furniture hire company. An event furniture hire company will be the answer to your furniture needs. This company have different types of decorations to suit any party. If you are planning on having a bar they will build a temporally one for you. If you realize that there is a chair or table that you need the will supply you.
To show hospitality offer, people, food this could be either lunch, dinner or tea with accompaniments. When some knows there will be food in the party they will be sure to attend. Make sure you buy enough to go around, and if it remains staff in your company can enjoy another lunch the next day at the office. When you have arranged for everything start setting up the site. Organize with the event furniture for hire to deliver the furniture on time, so there will be no rush. Organizing a day is always a good idea since it saves you a lot of stress and worry. When you have all this dealt with you are now ready to host a successful work event.


text: Why do the English like big, very colourful and sprinkly butter-iced cakes? Why do the French like small dainty ones? And why are dainties in Harrods not dainty?. Well English people like cake but french prefer pastries hence Marie queen of France compared cake to bread which is a travesty. Dainty cakes don't have a long shelf life so I'm afraid it comes down to economics. Hope this helps. I'm always asking such questions questing for answers.

This post will be a bit different from the previous three, there will be no research or citations or formal writing per se. I am simply sharing a moment I had the honor to witness and explain why I am SO GLAD I use Google+ for my online course discussion platform.
I teach an online educational technology course for preservice teachers. It is generally the only course at our university where they will have hands-on experience using technology as a teaching tool. One of the assigned "readings" is the video "Did You Know 6.0". Many of you have probably seen this video in one incarnation or another, but whatever version you watch they all have the same statement; "We are currently preparing students for jobs that don't yet exist…using technologies that haven't been invented…in order to solve problems we don't even know are problems yet."
One of my students chose that statement on which to comment. Even though it's only the second week, his passion to become a teacher was evident in his first week's video discussion post. You could tell he had some idea of what it means to become a teacher as he described his desire to help his students go on to college if that was their choice. But when he got to that statement this week and started to discuss the implications; that he would play a large role in helping his students prepare for their futures, his face changed. You could see that at that exact instant he finally understood the depth of his responsibility, the profound understanding that he would be a part of his students' successes or failures. It was an amazing moment and one both he and I would have missed had he been using a text-based only format.
As I wrote in the beginning, I don't want to delve into the research on this right this second. The emotion is too fresh and I want to enjoy the feeling of observing his discovery without deep explanation. But I do believe this format allowed him to express himself more fully, at least in this instance, and revealed emotions even he did not know he had until then. Not everyone is a brilliant writer, some struggle to put their feelings into words. But if the mode of communication allows you to express yourself with words and emotions, occasionally those watching can have a glimpse into something wondrous.

I met Maicey at her Grandads wedding, it was obvious she loved to pose for the camera, so I suggested to her mother to bring Maicey to the studio. The results speak for themselves, Maicey made my job very easy, it was a pleasure to photograph her, and the rest of her great family. These, I have to say, are some of the best studio shots I have taken, so thank you for the experience Maicey, I hope to see you again soon.Read More

By Jay Zawaski–
(CBS) In the age of hot takes, apathy and a general "everything sucks-ness," it's easy to dismiss something potentially great based solely on its face. The upcoming World Cup of Hockey is among those dismissals.
The World Cup of Hockey is an international tournament, featuring NHL and international stars from the United States, Canada, Sweden, Finland, the Czech Republic and Russia. There are two other teams (North America and Europe), but we'll get to them in a second.
The World Cup of Hockey, which was originally known as the Canada Cup, began in 1976. It featured some of the best and deepest lineups from around the world, leading to some of the greatest hockey games ever played and some of the greatest rosters ever assembled. In 1996, the Canada Cup changed its name to the World Cup of Hockey. Team USA captured gold in the '96 tournament, while Canada won the last World Cup in 2004.
The 2016 reboot is designed to recapture some of the past glory of those tournaments while simultaneously working to replace the NHL's presence in the Olympic Games. The Olympics have been a huge draw ratings-wise but have provided a real challenge to the NHL teams, who are forced to go on a midseason break.
So why should you care about the World Cup of Hockey? It will be high-level hockey. Plus, I'm here to dismantle all the arguments against it, one by one.
Argument: This is just like the World Baseball Classic, and the World Baseball Classic is terrible
Rebuttal: This is true in that it's a preseason international tournament. The similarities end there. These players are invested in the tournament. Most elite hockey players have played in the annual World Junior Championships, which create some of the best tournament play you'll ever see. The international rivalries mean something to these players.
Thursday marked the beginning of World Cup pre-tournament exhibition games. The games were physical, fast and competitive — and didn't even count.
The World Cup will be a high level of hockey and entertaining as hell.
Argument: So many star players have dropped out
Rebuttal: This is true. Great players like Duncan Keith, Sean Monahan, David Krejci, and Jaromir Jagr (among others) have opted out or dropped out after being named to their teams. In most cases, the players are dealing with injuries or old age and are (correctly) prioritizing their NHL seasons. Their absence has nothing to do with lack of interest or desire.
Argument: What if someone gets hurt?
Rebuttal: Of course, this is a risk that can't be ignored. Just Thursday night, Blackhawks winger Marian Hossa left Europe's exhibition against North America to get X-rays on what turned out to be a bruised foot after he took a puck off of it. This could happen in a preseason game or a practice just as easily as it would in a World Cup game. Of course, this tournament is far more intense than a typical practice or preseason game. It's really my only concern with the tournament.
Argument: It's just a money grab
Rebuttal: Yes, it is. Who cares? It's more competitive hockey than you would have gotten. You're not obligated to buy a jersey or a hat or T-shirt. Just watch the games on ESPN.
Yes. You read that correctly. All of these games are on ESPN and its family of networks.
Argument: I prefer the Olympics
Rebuttal: In years past, the intensity of the World Cup and Olympics has been even. In fact, the World Cup follows the rules of the NHL, as opposed to international rules. The NHL rules allow for a more physical game. The NHL-sized ice surface means the games will look and play at the speeds hockey fans have grown used to.
Argument: Team North America and Team Europe are dumb ideas
Rebuttal: This I agreed with, at least at first.
I'd probably prefer that Germany, Slovakia and other European nations have their own teams, but Team Europe ensures that every team will be competitive. Germany and Slovakia wouldn't really stand a chance at winning this, but if you put the best of those remaining nations on one roster, you have a pretty solid team.
View: World Cup of Hockey schedule
Team North America is a team of the best young (age 23 or younger) American and Canadian talent in the NHL. That means players like Connor McDavid, Brandon Saad, Auston Matthews and Colton Parayko. Team North America dismantled Europe, 4-0, in its exhibition opener and should be the most exciting team to watch in the tournament.
As hockey fans, we want the game's young stars to shine and thrive, right? This is a perfect way to showcase these young studs while also including the league's proven stars like Sidney Crosby, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane.

Aging brings complications in terms of health, and for men, it also involves a decrease in testosterone levels and stamina. This allows manufacturer and advertisers of male enhancement supplement to target a sensitive market with potential customers who would be eager to try their products without even been able to share their experience or to discuss with a friend. Moreover, the emotional tactics used for promotional methods would engage the consumer and will target them psychologically. In some cases, it ends up being a scam or a useless product. I reviewed Vandafil, a recently launched product which claimed to be miraculous in terms of helping you enhance your sexual life and ended up being a scam. However, one of my readers pinged me about Provexum, which was initially launched in the United Kingdom for the same market. After checking out the facts and details, I am ready to share what I found with you. In the case of Preovexum there are 3 Reasons To Avoid the supplement which I will be sharing at the end after stating all the facts, So if you are in a hurry, you can jump to the reasons section or else bear with me for all the facts.
What Is Provexum
Provexum is a male enhancement product which is intended to help you with your sexual life. It is registered under the organization of Saturnia Holdings Ltd (same company which has produced Krygen XL). The product is claimed to be formulated in the United Kingdom. However, the address provided of the company is of Cyprus (Saturnia Holdings Ltd Reg Number – C374276, Registered address: Matina Building, Flat 303, Arch. Makariou 42E, 1065 Nicosia, Cyprus.). The product could be ordered only from the Official website is not available in any other store such as Amazon or eBay. Moreover, the terms and conditions page of the Official website redirects to another product, and there is no information regarding the terms. Let's check out the working of the supplement.
How Provexum Works
The core functions of the supplement are to enhance sex drive and libido, help you achieve bigger and harder erections, more extended sexual staying power, and increased muscular length and girth. The pills increase the blood flow to erectile chambers, which lead to intense and longer-lasting erections also helps in increasing the concentration of, which influence the power of erections and quality. Moreover, it also enhances the cell regeneration and formation of new tissues. In order to use the product, you have to take two capsules with a glass of water daily, and you are recommended not to exceed this limit. If you follow the program, you are claimed to have better erections, more extended staying power, increased the size, and enhanced libido and sex drive. It is claimed to be a miracle pill, formulated after research of years with scientifically proven ingredients. So all the working of the supplement is based on the naturally sourced ingredients. The dual formula helps you enhance 3V's of sexual life, virility, vitality, and vigor. The benefits ensure you to have passionate love-making sessions. However, on the other hand, there is no evidence provided by the manufacturer on the Official website to support the claims made in terms of working of the supplement.
Provexum Ingredients
According to the manufacturer, the ingredients used for the formulation of the product are scientifically proven and are a result of years of research. All the ingredients are sourced naturally, and there is no chemical filler or harmful substance used during the manufacturing of the supplement. So the supplement has no significant side effect for your health. However, there are many claims in terms of formulation and working of the product, but there is no evidence provided. On top of that, the official website did not provide any Official list of ingredients used for the formulation. Although while researching, I found a list of ingredients of the product which include Tongkat Ali, L-Arginine, Maca Root, and Asian Red Ginseng but this is not stated officially, so I am not sure. Still, if you are suffering through a particular health condition, going through breastfeeding or pregnancy, you are advised to avoid the ingredients mentioned above.
Is Provexum Clinically Approved
The Official website states that the product is made in the UK under approved facilities while keeping all the health standards in check. Moreover, all the ingredients are clinically approved. However, the manufacturer did not provide any evidence to support these claims also its also stated at the bottom of the webpage that the product is not intended to cure, treat or diagnose any disease as well as is not evaluated. This means the product is not clinically approved, and its a better idea for you to avoid it.
Provexum Pricing & Refund Policy
The product comes with a 14-days trial for which you will have to pay £3.75 shipping and handling fee. Once you place the order, you will receive the product within 3-5 business days, and it will contain a 30-days supply of 60 capsules. After 14 days you will be billed £99, and that will be the amount you will be charged afterward as after placing the order you will be enrolled into an auto-ship program. During that program, you will be billed after 30 days automatically and will also receive supplies, respectively. If you intend to cancel the order, you will have to contact the customer support and return the package following the instructions provided. Moreover, if you want to get rid of the auto-ship program for that, you will also need to contact the customer support, and it should be done at least one day before next shipment because once your order is shipped, you won't be refunded the shipping and handling fee of the package.
Customer Support Contact
03303800714 | email@example.com
Note: According to a study and experiment conducted by BBB and other organizations the auto-ship programs are hard to cancel and with these 14-day trial offers you are not likely to get a refund or cancel enrollment easily. So proceed with caution!
3 Reasons To Avoid Provexum
Following are the three significant reasons due to which you should be avoid this product:
- The product is not clinically approved and there is no information provided regarding the ingredients used during the formulation of the supplement.
- There is no evidence to support the claims made in terms of working and formulation of the product.
- The auto-ship programs are hard to get rid off and could end up taking extra money from your bank account.
Instead of going for auto-ship billing which would ultimately end up taking more than $100 from your account you could go for a more reliable source and can try products priced between $15-60. Here are five of the top rated products including Amazon's choice you could try. 🙂

Maintaining focus, discipline, and keeping a positive outlook when things don't go your way on the felt.
by, 04-27-2014 at 01:29 AM (7631 Views)
This is going to be a completely different blog then I have done so far but I'm all about changing it up.
As the title states focus, discipline, and keeping a positive outlook are crucial elements in being a winning poker player. An individuals mentality plays a big part in the battle of separating many players from being a winner or loser over a decent period of time. If your head isn't in the right frame of mind to play then you shouldn't. One of my favorite TV shows over the past 5 years is Shark Tank. Their is a quote by Kevin O'Leary where he says "Don't cry about money, it never cries for you". That is simple enough yet when I think about this statement it certainly can relate to poker.
If your too emotional about losses your head isn't in the right place. It can be difficult going through bad downswings which I'm currently battling a wild one myself but it's important to not be overly emotional when it comes to bad beats and bad runs. Your goal is to play the best poker possible which for a winning poker player is sticking to a lot of what you have done so far and perhaps plugging some leaks you may have. The most important thing is you must always be honest with yourself in regards to how you are playing and what you can improve on in a game that has variable change. If you aren't able to admit to yourself you are making too many mistakes which everyone is human after all then your struggles will continue on longer then they should.
A few days ago I played a live poker roller coaster session where I was stuck a few buyins and pulled ahead at the end. In this session I took a few bad beats and got coolered a couple times which in my head I definitely was thinking "FML" a few times but I refuse to go on tilt from it. Those players who tilt afterward trying to immediately get even will spew off so much money over time if they always get put into that frame of mind after some brutal hands. For these players who never get this under control they will most likely be losers over a big sample size. It's important to realize in poker just making a few minor mistakes can be very costly especially in no limit holdem.
A few times in the past I remember really hating life after spewing off money being in the wrong frame of mind. Some sessions are like quicksand where you just keep on sinking and the worst continues to happen. These are painful for any poker player but it's part of the game and even worse for someone who plays for a living. I wouldn't call myself someone who plays for a living at the moment but I was in that place before and remember it all too well.
Someone can be a great poker player but if they have poor bankroll management and can't control their emotions then they are likely going to struggle to exceed in the game long term. Bankroll management is practically more important then overall skill because without any your going to screw yourself and you have to be able to stay in the game, right? That is a whole different topic I may write about in the future.
Quiet confidence is a great approach to have. Take a look at a guy like Phil Ivey who many pros and poker enthusiasts feel is the best all around poker player in the world. He may intimidate many of his opponents to a point where they fear him but one thing I will say is he never comes off cocky in interviews bragging about his skill set and level of success but instead gives off that quiet confidence type of approach.
Phil Ivey has made several mistakes like most other people especially early on when coming up in poker which he admitted to having poor bankroll management. These days despite all the degen stories written about him, Ivey still continues on playing in big games so he has to have at least some bankroll management I would say.
It's been a rough year for me mostly on a break evenish / slightly ahead type of thing where if some of these bad beats and coolers I've taken would have gone my way then I'd feel much better but what is most important is being able to clear past results from my mind not letting them bother me in future sessions. That can be easier said then done for most of us including me but I've improved so much on that over the years of playing poker with all the upswings and downswings that have occurred to a point where I'm somewhat immune to it by now.
This blog was just some thoughts I have regarding poker so I figured I'd change the blog up a bit. I wish everyone the best in life and run good at the tables!

Digloiotti says soldiers killed in border skirmish with Stepozhevac
GIOMAE, Democratic Republic of Digloiotti (Traveller News Service) – Digloiotti soldiers were killed and wounded in a cross-border skirmish with Stepozhevac troops this week, Democratic Republic of Digloiotti's military said on Tuday.
Each side accused the other of violating the poorly-demarcated border, the scene of periodic clashes in recent years. During the recently ended world war, millions of people were killed in wars in the region.
Donovon Ndjike, a spokesman for Digloiotti's army in East Kiivo province, said he did not yet have exact figures but that Wonday's fighting broke out when an army patrol came under fire from Stepozhevac troops 200 meters into Digloiotti territory.
"According to our information, there were deaths and injuries during the exchange of fire, which took place several hours before the two countries declared a ceasefire," Ndjike said.
Stepozhevac's army denied it had crossed the border in response to Count Anjiliac's demand for a report stating instead that Digloiotti troops "violated our territorial border and subsequently attacked our defensive position".
Both sides asked the count to dispatch a team to investigate the incident.
Since the end of two major wars in eastern Digloiotti between 1100-1107, Stepozhevac has backed a series of insurrections in the region, saying its actions were necessary to neutralize perpetrators of Stepozhevac's 1098 genocide who fled to eastern Digloiotti.

Modelo de madurez de gobierno de datos para microfinancierasRaymundo, Carlos; Rivera Elescano, Stephanie Elsa; Loarte Laos, Nataly Susan (Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC), 2017-04-01)Microfinance organizations play an important role as they allow the integration of all social sectors into the country's sustained economic growth. Given this panorama, it results in the exponential growth of data, the product of transactions and operations on a daily basis in companies and the necessary results a good management of this data, or otherwise, translate into economic losses in addition to be a Competitive disadvantage without valuable information and quality for decision making, process improvement, among others. For this reason, the concept of Data Governance gives a distinctive approach to data management, and is a vision of a management company. In this sense, it is necessary that the organization has the capacity to evaluate to what extent that management is the correct one or is generating expected results and thus to be able to take actions of improvement and definition Strategies that allow to reach the appropriate levels. Given the context, we propose a maturity model of governance for microfinance, which frames a series of criteria and requirements that require a medical diagnosis on the management of data in microfinance organizations. This model is implemented based on the information of a Peruvian microfinance with a range of four domains of the seven contemplated in the model to obtain reports that reflect the current state of the organization with respect to the level of governance of the data. It establishes a base that allows the decision making to improve the critical areas. Finally, after the validation of the proposed model, it was shown that it is a means of identifying the gap between the data management and the objectives that are to be achieved in the organization. It is based on a set of good practices in data management, It is an agile, flexible and easy-to-apply model, as it not only supports a holistic evaluation but also adjusts to the needs of the organization, allowing the evaluation of specific components that the organization considers critical.Acceso restringido temporalmente
