Ditsong National Museum of Military History- Johannesburg, South Africa
During the First World War (1914 – 1918) no formal showcase was made of South Africa's involvement in that war.
In 1940, Capt J Agar-Hamilton was appointed official historian of the Union Defence Forces. The formation of an Historical Research Committee that same year was to ensure the preservation of documents and military memorabilia and lay the foundation for the establishment of a museum.
The South African National War Museum was officially opened on 29 August 1947 by the then Prime Minister of South Africa, Field Marshal J C Smuts PC, CM, OM, DTD, KC. At the opening ceremony, Smuts stated the following:
"… We are gathered here today to open what may not unfairly be looked upon as a memorial to the greatest united effort our country has been called upon to produce. Memorials, of course, have more than one use. They serve to remind us of what is past, of great deeds of heroism and sacrifice; they also serve as a pointer, and sometimes as a warning to the future.
It is in these senses that the South African War Museum may be regarded as a memorial. It will remind us, I hope, not only of the part we played in the recent great struggle to save civilization, but also of the horrors, the loss of life and the devastation, and serve as a warning to us to create a world in which we shall never have to use again the weapons of mass destruction we see here today, or those dreadful weapons to follow them …"
He was referring to South Africa's participation in the Second World War and had pinpointed the raison d'etre of the Museum's existence.
In 1975 the Museum's name was changed to the South African National Museum of Military History and its scope was expanded to include the history of all military conflict in which South Africans have played a part. The Museum also serves as a popular and unusual venue for conferences and other functions.
In 1999, following the restructuring process of national museums, the Museum was amalgamated together with the Transvaal Museum of Natural History and the National Cultural History Museum into the Northern Flagship Institution. This institution was renamed Ditsong: Museums of South Africa in 2009 and the Museum is now called the Ditsong National Museum of Military History.
The Museum is also regarded as the spiritual and symbolic home for all soldiers and veterans in South Africa. As a result a number of veterans' organisations use the Museum as their headquarters. The South African Military History Society, the South African Arms and Ammunition Collectors Association, the South African Arms and Armour Society, the Gold Reef Scale Modelers and the Warsaw Flights Commemoration Committee use the Museum for monthly and annual meetings and are considered to be part of the 20 organisations that are stakeholders.

Acknowledging Shima
My name, Shima, possesses two meanings;
1) Shima Province in Japan and
2) An American Indian name meaning "Mother." [http://www.encyclo.co.uk/define/shima]
I am also a personal name in Japan, Iran and Java, as well as a geographic place name and suffix for geographic place names in Japan. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shima]
As in Shima Province and as in Hiroshima, upon which the USA rained nuclear fire at the close of World War II.
As in Fukushima.
Look now though my eyes at the being that descends upon me – a diabolical imp in the astral that seeks to spew poisonous vapors or toxic substances into the atmosphere, causing as much harm, damage and suffering as possible.
See how he frolicks, jumps and gambols with glee.
See what he calls me – Fuk U Shima. See what he means;
Fuk U Mother.
Now, watch the earthquake and the tidal wave hit Japan, hit the reactors at Fukushima.
Now watch the radiation flow into the Pacific, into the largest ocean, into the aquatics, into the food chain, for more than 900 days without a word in the mainstream, without a word by the mainstream, to date more than twenty seven quadrillion becquerels of cesium 137, floating, floating across the Pacific, undischargable, unstoppable.
Now know the attack being leveled at me, now being leveled at you.
~ Stephen J. Bergstrom

The Dog who Saved Santa.
By Evan Colborne, Grade 3
Chapter 1 – Flash gets a Chew Toy!
Five years ago, in a house, lived a dog named Flash. She was a Husky. She was a very kind dog, but right now she was feeling gloomy even though it was only 6 days until Christmas. Annie, her owner, just finished dinner and was about to feed Flash.
After dinner, Flash ran upstairs because after dinner the cat comes back. The cat's name is Black, Black is a black cat. So, Flash went up the stairs to chase the cat down the stairs to come back up the stairs! Black was frightened and jumped out the window. That done, Flash went to sleep.
Days passed and it was Christmas Eve. Flash went on a walk around the street, there was so much snow! Flash and her best friend Snowball, the doggie down the street, had a wonderful snowball fight! When afternoon approached she had to head home.
When Flash came in through her dog door, she saw her owner Annie holding a Christmas Eve present. Annie called Flashover, and Annie passed the present to Flash. Flash walked fast up the stairs holding the present in her mouth and looking proud! When she got up the stairs into her room, she tore and ripped through the wrapping paper! Surprisingly, there was more than one layer of wrapping paper. BOO YA! Flash thought to herself, Flash got her first giant chew toy! She started chewing it but as soon as Flash started chewing, she slowly started to fade away. Now she was completely gone! Ten seconds later Black came back through the window. The chew toy was still there, so of course Black licked it, and he was gone too! They were transported to the North Pole!!
Chapter 2 – The Problem
As soon as Flash fell to the ground, in the cold snow, she took one look and thought to herself that it was a super beautiful but crazy place! Flash was wondering why everything was so messy! Flash realized where she was, and started to sniff out Santa.
When the trail ended she was at the giant Christmas tree. Suddenly Flash heard a noise behind her, she looked back and it was Black! Flash let out a happy bark! Black meowed back. They looked up to the tippy-top of the tree, there was Santa! Santa looked down to them, "Hi" said Santa "will you guys help me get down from here?" "Okay" barked Flash. So Flash held on to the bottom of the tree while Black climbed up the tree with a rope in his mouth. Black gave Santa the rope and Santa tied it around himself while the elves prepared a trampoline under Santa.
Black climbed down the tree and then Santa jumped down and landed on his face, which gave him a rosy complexion. Black ran over as soon as the elves were done petting him. Santa led them to the barn where the reindeer were. Flash asked why there isn't that many reindeer. Santa answered back "Well, Rudolph is on vacation and one of the reindeer died. So now I only have seven reindeer. You know that present that Annie gave you? I had magic put on it so that you and Black would come here". Black started to meow. Santa can talk cat, Black was asking how he had put the magic there. "I didn't, I sent a couple of my fairies to put the magic on the present".
Chapter 3 – The Save
"So, back to what I brought you here for, I was wondering if you could help me pull my sleigh?" "Would I?, Yeeesss!" yelped Flash. "But what will Black do?" "He will ride with me" said Santa. "Okay, Let's go!" said Flash and Black.
"We had better hurry so that we can get all the presents delivered and you two home!" Santa told the elves to get the sleigh ready, they sprinkled magic dust on the reindeer, and Flash too! Now they were ready to go, Flash was leading.
"First stop is Flash and Black's house!" bellowed Santa. The reindeer and Flash pranced down to their house, as soon as they landed Annie ran out of the house looking worried. She hugged them and smiled. For Christmas Annie got a kitten, she named the kitten 'Star'. And that was the story of the dog who saved Santa!
The Day After Christmas
By Sara Schulte, Grade 3

Slapshot the Snowman
By Chace Smith, Grade 3
One day there was a kid named John. He was sitting on his couch watching tv and he was watching a hockey game. Then at that moment he realized he has a hockey game tomorrow.
So he said to himself, ¨oh no, I need to get some practise in." So he grabbed his stick and gloves and then he ran out the door and went to his hockey net and started shooting some pucks. Then ooohhh crossbar down.
And then when he got bored he decided to make a snowman. He named him slapshot. He thought it was a pretty good name.Then he gave the snowman a stick and gloves. Then John went back into his house. Later that night, he heard a strange noise outside. It sounded like someone was skating on his outdoor hockey rink so he went down to the bottom of the stairs and he heard a slap shot.
Next, he heard a loud ping off the post. Woooaaahhh what was that? So he went outside and there was nothing out there. He waited for something but still nothing. So he went back inside and went back to bed.
As soon as he hopped into bed he heard another weird noise. He went back outside but still nothing. He waited but still not a peep. So he went back to bed and didn't care what would happen next. He fell asleep and there was nothing annoying the rest of the night.
In the morning, John got ready for game day. When he got to the arena ten minutes later the Zamboni got off the ice. When his team got on the ice, the team that John was playing against looked really hard. When the ref dropped the puck, straight off the bat boom breakaway deke shoot and goal. After the game John's team won six five it was a close game.
He went home so happy because it was their first victory! So when he got home he practiced more and then someone said, "Hi John" "Who was that?" said John. "It's me Slap Shot" the weird voice said. "Slap Shot? Hi Slap Shot you can talk.
"And play hockey," he said. "Ok" said John. I challenge you to a game of hockey." "Ok" said Slap Shot "Lets play to five. Let's go three two one go!" And their off boom goallll for John then boom a goal for Slap Shot then another goal for Slap Shot then another goal for Slap Shot, then goal for Slap Shot and then booom mm a goal for Slap Shot.

Rosie And Zoey Save Christmas
By Kayden Ursulak, age five
It was December 24th, 2017, everyone in 5922 Stewart St. Were fast asleep in their beds.
Rosie and Zoey were cuddled up by the fire patiently waiting for Santa to arrive, when all of a sudden, they heard a big bang on top of the roof.
Rosie then woke up Zoey in excitement telling her Santa was here, while they sat waiting for Santa to come down the chimney they heard him yell. "ouch that's hot"
Zoey then spoke up then said, "oh no Santa can't get in because Dad forgot to put out the stove before he went to bed" Rosie then told Zoey "its ok, he can just come through the front door" at that moment they heard foot steps coming up the steps and then seen the handle trying to turn. "The door is locked Kayden is going to be sad in the morning when she wakes up" Cried Zoey, Rosie calmed Zoey down and told her she had an idea.
"Come" Rosie told Zoey, jump on my back and unlock the door for Santa. Zoey then jumped on Rosie back and tried to reach the lock, she was just big enough.
"I got it" Zoey yelled, as they stepped back and watch open in came a big man all dressed in red, "Thank you Rosie and Zoey" Said Santa "I was so worried I wasn't going to get in now I have to try and get all the presents down from the roof if only I was a fast climber"
"I am" said Zoey, Rosie then thought of an idea, "why don't you jump onto the roof Zoey, slide the presents off ill grab them bring them to the door then Santa can place them under the tree" Explained Rosie.
And one by one they gently placed each present inside while Santa was enjoying his milk and cookies that Kayden left for him the night before, and as soon as Santa was done he leaped up with excitement and thanked Rosie and Zoey for giving him a helping hand with the presents he special made for Kayden. He then tossed Rosie a bone, Cat Toy for Zoey and then through a log on the stove while collecting his big red sack and made his departure for the rest of the world.

Bears, boars, centaurs, lycanthropes, mountain lions, foxes, dryads, wolves, unicorns and goblinoids can be found in the wilds of Hattias.
Description by Katrina van Helsing.
It is my esteemed honour and pleasure to pen this description of Vanya Bay, the newest acquisition of the Heldannic Order. Located as it is in my homeland of Hattias, I am especially proud to lead this colony, and it is my fondest wish to see it become the brightest jewel in Vanya's crown.
The Land
Vanya Bay is located along the eastern coast of Hattias, east of the source of the Stegger River. Our holdings were ceded to us for one hundred years by the Thyatian Empire, as part of the repayment of the imperial debt to the Order. These lands include a village, a deep-water bay with twenty-four miles of coastland, and lands extending another sixteen miles inland. The village is home to three hundred and fifty Hattians, a small and unassuming community that was thankfully spared the ravages of the recent Crown War.
Vanya Bay is now host to a Heldannic garrison, guarding the village against incursions and banditry. The garrison detachment includes Governor-General Katrina van Helsing, twenty knights, thirty squires, twenty sergeants, sixty men-at-arms, sixty archers, sixty crossbowmen, ten ballistae and thirty crewmen, ten Chaplains, and forty serving brethren to handle menial tasks within the garrison. Another two hundred and fifty Heldannic peasants who do not reside on site tend to some thirty acres of farmland and the garrison's livestock of ten bulls, twenty oxen, forty cows, twelve pigs, two hundred goats and sheep, and scores of poultry and fowl. Other assets include twenty ploughs and twenty supply wagons including ten for the ballista units. The garrison itself, a rather blocky and inelegant structure located just outside of Vanya Bay proper, provides several dormitories, stables for the knights' fifty horses, a mess hall, a chapel, a few individual rooms including the Governor-General's quarters, and a kitchen. A barn and other wooden structures used for farming stand outside the garrison.
The abbey, located adjacent to the garrison, provides religious services to the inhabitants of Vanya Bay, as well as medical and educational services. The priests of the abbey also collect taxes, handle local recruitment, and conduct any police duties in the absence of the military. Taxes are shipped to the garrison. The abbey also provides peaceful retirement to elderly Knights who have become incapable of handling their duties. The inhabitants of the abbey include an Abbot, one hundred Priors, one hundred Chaplains, and nearly five hundred serving brethren.
Never a particularly settled area of the island, the land ceded to the Heldannic Order by Thyatis has already proven to be fruitful and productive. There are several expansive fields and orchards here in the fertile lowlands that play host to mulberry trees, olive trees, grapevines, cedars, peaches, pears, oranges, and cherries. These orchards are maintained by the Hattians, who have cared for them for many years before the arrival of the Heldannic Knights. There are also fields for sheep and goats, which are prolific in the area and provide for sizeable wool product to be exported to Thyatis and throughout the Heldannic Empire.
The land here is also very hilly, especially as one moves further inland, and it is in these hills that we have recently discovered iron deposits that had gone unexploited by Thyatis. We recently opened an iron mine in the area, and it is currently operating at a satisfactory production rate. Our mine here, with others to follow as our scouts and engineers work to discover and exploit them, will provide for sizeable exports to Thyatis as well as helping to fuel our Order's military endeavours both at home and abroad. It is somewhat ironic that the Thyatians would probably have not parted with these lands so quickly if they had known that there was still potential for iron mining here.
The fauna of the land is almost devoid of monstrous creatures. Herds of cattle, sheep, horses, goats, swine, and mules graze peacefully in pastures, with only the occasional mountain lion, fox, or wolf molesting them. Bears and boars also roam freely throughout the land.
The People
The people of Vanya Bay are almost completely Hattian in ethnicity. The Heldannic Knights sent to the colony were chosen because of their predominantly Hattian heritage, because Hattias has such prevalent intolerance toward outsiders. However, there are major differences between the native Hattians and the Heldannic Knights which now inhabit Vanya Bay.
The Hattians are a tough, stoic, taciturn people by and large. Jolly and happy around their family and their own people, they are close-mouthed and inhospitable around strangers and travellers. The Hattians use naming conventions that seem more akin to those of the Antalians or Heldanners, prefer beer to wine, and most importantly are known for their intolerance of outsiders, a trait greatly different from the cosmopolitan and tolerant Thyatians and Kerendans. Though they are accepting of the Heldannic presence in Vanya Bay, there is a barely-noticeable tension between them, as the Order has grown away from the original tenets of its founding over eighty years ago. However, the Hattians here cannot and should not be generalised as hate-mongering isolationists. The events of the Crown War, as well as recent influxes of Davanian refugees to Hattias, have slowly begun to bring about changes in attitude toward outsiders here. Davanian refugees are strangely absent in Vanya Bay, however, as the Heldannic Order views their enemies abroad with outright hostility.
The Heldannic Knights here, for their part, are not the bloodthirsty conquerors that many people of the Known World would make them out to be. The horrific Inquisition and its aftermath led to drastic changes within the Order, as Vanya herself initiated much-needed reform within her Knights. As the Order has built a solid reputation for the integrity and reliability of its banking operations, Vanya Bay may soon become a financial centre for all of Hattias and beyond. The Order also services the pilgrimages that many of Vanya's faithful take to her distant grave in Davania, and has recently opened its port to the pilgrims, joining Southpoint and Vinton in this extremely lucrative practice.

Harris Bank and the owners of a Naperville dental practice have settled a DuPage County Circuit Court lawsuit stemming from the theft of more than $85,000 by a former clinic employee. Dental practice owners Keith and Linda Brown and bank officials late Tuesday agreed to settle the Browns' lawsuit, which sought nearly $50,000. The agreement came toward the end of the second day of a chancery court bench trial before Judge John T. Elsner.
"There is a court order that will essentially require the parties not to discuss any details of the settlement," said Ben Alba, one of the Browns' attorneys.
A lawsuit dismissal order could be entered by Elsner as early as next week, he said.

What made you want to become a chef?
It was really by chance. I enrolled in the school of catering and tourism to be a hotel manager, but I discovered my passion for cooking, so in the third year I decided to learn more about the subject.
What is your first memory of a dish that made you dream?
The first dish that made me dream was a simple pasta dish with pesto - simple but done perfectly.
Who has influenced you in your cooking style or philosophy?
Well, at first, my parents were my best critics: I always tried to surprise them with little dishes, before asking for their feedback. Secondly, the customers who always encourage you to improve. Lastly, many renowned chefs.
What inspires you? or Where does your inspiration come from?
My creativity keeps me awake at night. Sometimes I have dreams about ingredients, so I feel that going to markets looking for the best produce fires the imagination.
What is your favourite culinary method or technique?
I really like using technology in the kitchen. I enjoy using low temperatures and pressure cookers because you can achieve amazing textures. I'm also a great fan of the grill.
What is your favourite ingredient?
I love sage and I use it in many dishes.
What is your favourite cooking utensil?
I really like pressure cookers.
What material do you prefer for your pans and saucepans?
In terms of aesthetics and heating, copper is really good but if that's not available, then I'm fine with stainless steel.
What would you like to change about the cooking schools?
Cooking schools need to update their teaching. They just limit themselves to cooking in the classical style, forgetting that cooking is always evolving.
Your advice for young chefs.
Every chef needs to find their style and personalise. Don't copy others. Be unique.
What do you look for when you hire someone for your restaurant?
I look for two things I think are essential:
A level of commitment and improvement, and willingness. Everything else can be taught.
How do you motivate your team?
I always try to be a leader, not a boss. I always back my people, rewarding them when they do something outstanding and trying to inspire confidence and support them when there are problems.
What would you like to change in the catering industry?
Cooking critics need to disappear - ha ha. There are so many who don't get the subject, though this not the case for all of them.
What do you do when you have difficult guests?
My customers are my family so you need to treat them right and, often, ride things out. When there's a problem, I always try to speak to them and find out why they are unhappy so I can fix the problem. The ones who don't understand, well I'd like to win them over, but I need always to remain calm.
Where do you like to get away to relax?
I love the sea. Whenever I can, I head to the seaside to relax. Not long ago, I began to box, so I have another way to de-stress.
What pushes you to keep on going?
I always push myself so as not to hit a plateau, but my family and my partner play a vital role in motivating me on a personal level because when I feel supported, that's when I get the best out of myself.
Which of your dishes are you most proud of?
I have a very simple one that tends to wildly surprise those who try it: grilled sea bass on lemon risotto with coconut cream. There are lots of elements at play: the crunchiness of the grain, the smoothness of the fish, with the sweetness of the cream and the acidity of the risotto.
What is your favourite restaurant?
I like lots but two which really grabbed me were Massiiliano Alajmo's 'Le Calandre' and Niko Romito's 'Reale'.
Which current chef do you most admire and why?
Undoubtedly Massimiliano Alajmo and Niko Romito, who study the ingredient and all its possibilities, but also Massimo Bottura for everything he's achieved.
How do you think restaurants should be classified?
Every restaurant should be unique.
I prefer not to label restaurants according to appearance but rather by the vibe I get from them.
They need to give me an experience that touches all my senses.

Did the Sia team knowingly sell unregistered securities in 2014?
No, we did not. At the time of the 2014 offering, we were not aware that Sianotes or Siafunds may be considered securities by the SEC. This offering took place months before the Ethereum offering, and years before the SEC issued any cryptocurrency-related guidance.
Given that we properly registered our 2018 offering of Siafunds in the wake of the SEC's 2017 guidance regarding digital assets, we are disappointed that the SEC chose to take action with respect to our relatively small 2014 offering.

Raleigh, N.C. – A new poll released today by the Civitas Institute reveals that 51 percent of North Carolina voters want state Attorney General Roy Cooper to support Arizona's enforcement of new immigration laws.
According to the live caller poll of 600 likely voters, 51 percent of voters said they believe Cooper should join with nine other state Attorneys General to support Arizona's immigration law enforcement. Twenty-eight percent said they do not believe Cooper should join in support, and 21 percent said they are not sure.
"North Carolina voters agree with the actions of Arizona enough to want to see the North Carolina Attorney General join the effort supporting Arizona," said Civitas Institute president Francis De Luca.
Further analysis reveals that the majority of Republicans (69 percent-14 percent) and unaffiliated voters (52 percent-29 percent) believe Cooper should join with the other states in supporting Arizona. Democratic voters were mixed in their opinion with 39 percent in opposition while 36 percent said they support Cooper lending his support for the legislation.
"Voters are offering their support for a state that is trying to clean up the federal government's immigration enforcement mess," added De Luca. "These results, along with last month's strong support among North Carolina voters for the Arizona law, should be a wakeup call to North Carolina leaders on the issue of immigration."
The Arizona bill requires that law enforcement officers check an individual's immigration status when enforcing other laws. So far nine states – Alabama, Florida, Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas and Virginia – have voiced their support for the legislation in federal court briefings. The case will remain static until November, while the government will argue its federal immigration laws supplant those of the state.
A June 2010 Civitas Institute poll found that 58 percent of voters think North Carolina should enact a law similar to Arizona's which enforces illegal immigration laws. Thirty-two percent of voters said the state should not enact such a law, and nine percent said they did not know.
The Civitas Poll is the only monthly live-caller poll of critical issues facing North Carolina. For more information on Civitas polling see www.nccivitas.org/media/poll-results/.

This poll of 600 likely general election voters in North Carolina was conducted July 19-21, 2010 by Tel Opinion Research of Alexandria, Virginia. All respondents were part of a fully representative sample of registered voters in North Carolina. For purposes of this study, voters we interviewed had to have voted in either the 2004, 2006 or 2008 general elections or were newly registered voters since 2008.
The confidence interval associated with a sample of this size is such that: 95 percent of the time, results from 600 interviews (registered voters) will be within +-4% of the "True Values." True Values refer to the results obtained if it were possible to interview every person in North Carolina who had voted in either the 2004, 2006 or 2008 general elections or were newly registered voters since 2008.

Flying While Intoxicated? Fact or Fiction? Oh… It's a Fact!
It's a question many of Florida's wild bird watchers wonder about. We grew up hearing about robins, in particular, who consume so many locally native berries that they become drunk, disoriented, and flounder on the ground. But, is this true? Can Florida's wild birds really eat so many berries they actually become drunk? According to a 2012 study from the British Medical Journal… they absolutely can! And Florida, ripe with berries and their usual indulgent characters, American Robins… is no stranger to these instances of drunken birds flailing about our Florida backyard habitats.
And, frankly… Scooter could do without the drunken brawls and all-hours-of-the-night frat parties next door!
As comical as it may be to see them leaning against walls and tumbling to the ground, Wild Birds Unlimited in Clearwater/Safety Harbor cautions that this can be quite serious for Florida's wild bird population. Instances of finding several dead birds lying on the ground can cause fears of Avian Flu to rise. In fact, most often, this is due to bird crashes during the season when the Brazilian Pepper tree and its berries are in full bloom and are beginning to ripen and then ferment. The birds ingest the berries and become intoxicated to the point where they cannot fly properly enough to avoid windows crashes. Along with being seriously injured, these birds can die during this disoriented state.
But let's look at what's listed as the main culprit (there are many, but one seems to stand out) so we can –maybe– help out with the rehab. Admitting there's a problem is the first step to recovery!
Someone call A&E! There's gonna be an intervention!
According to what we can find, the main berry species which causes most of the concern down here in Florida is the Brazilian Pepper Tree – also commonly called the Florida Holly. Beautiful, with its bright red clustered berries and colorful, deep-green foliage, this plant is related to common poison plant species, ivy, oak and sumac, and was introduced in the mid-late 1800s for its aesthetic appeal. However, fast forward to 2013 and Florida has it listed on its own Invasive Plant Species list and strongly cautions against its cultivation and use. Birds become drunk on its berries as they ferment on the branch or after falling to the ground. In this recent article from Charlotte County Florida's Channel 2 website, the issue of this beautiful, but problematic, plant is outlined.
Scooter says, "Uuuhhh…Woops! So much for that purty plant!"
The problem with this plant, beyond its obvious attempts at drugging Florida's native wild bird life and running amok in its invasiveness of other native plants… is its ability to retain its life despite all efforts at ridding it from our shores. Removing these trees or large shrubs, which can reach heights of over 30 feet, is a difficult task requiring total and complete removal of the tree/shrub and all its roots as re-rooting can take place from pieces left in the ground. The Brazilian Pepper is, for all intents and purposes, a hearty, hearty tree! Because of this, Wild Birds Unlimited in Clearwater/Safety Harbor suggests we help birds to avoid their indulgences altogether… and these ways are pretty simple:
*Wear protective clothing as this tree is related to Poison Ivy and can cause severe itching and rashes! Dig the Brazilian Pepper Tree out from its root and trim any new spouts as they're seen. If all else fails in removing the Brazilian Pepper Tree from your yard completely, try:
- Trimming the berries at their stems as they sprout and throw them away where birds will not be tempted to eat them.
- Affixing window decals to the outside of nearby windows to lessen the chances of bird crashes.
- Placing chimes, or other noisy or visually "startling" yard decor, near the Brazilian Pepper Tree to ensure birds are frightened away from that particular area.
- Do not place bird houses, feeders, baths or nesting materials near the Brazilian Pepper Tree.
- Supply wild birds with quality wild bird seed and feed from Wild Birds Unlimited in Clearwater/Safety Harbor.
While we love our beautiful lawns and lush greenery here in Florida, we need to be mindful that not all of these beautiful plants are indigenous and that some, like the Brazilian Pepper Tree (Florida Holly), can cause hazards not foreseen upon their introductions. When creating or adjusting a backyard habitat for your wild bird visitors, it's best to consult a local authority like the Florida Native Plant Society or Wilcox Nurseries; partners of your local Wild Birds Unlimited in Clearwater/Safety Harbor!

General Electric, which announced it was moving its headquarters to Boston from Fairfield, Conn earlier this year, has filed a letter of intent with the Boston Redevelopment Authority for its new building on the waterfront. In addition to renovating two existing brick buildings, GE will build a new 12 story, 293,000 square foot office building and a plaza between Necco Street and the Fort Point Channel.
According to the LOI, the buildings to be renovated are at 5 and 6 Necco Court, but the description of the project site as bound by Necco Street to the east, the channel to the west and Necco Court to the north best fits 36-98 Necco Court. The rest of the site is currently surface parking and the whole site is owned by the Gilette Company.
The public plaza will be 42,430 square feet and will include improvements to the Harborwalk. Significantly, the LOI does not mention parking. The site is just a seven minute walk from South Station and is served by multiple bus routes. There is also an existing parking garage across Necco Street.

Review 300: Seize Your Glory
Bloody game for all movie fans
Author: Jay Feldman
Date: 29 Jun 2017, tested on ASUS Nexus 7 (2013)
Quality 3D graphics, exciting plot, addictive game play
No variance between levels, animation is a bit laggy
300: Seize Your Glory for Android brings all the blood, guts and glory of Sparta to your Droid. The play is dynamic but lacks variance. However, if you enjoy slashing bad guys and spilling blood, this game is for you.
300: Seize Your Glory makes the movie look G rated. The blood is gratuitous and spills by the gallon. The game takes place on a Spartan vessel; you're sailing the high seas with your trusty crew, en route to intercept other ships and do battle as you seize control and slash everything that moves. The game is exciting for a while, but then I soon realized that basically nothing else was going to happen except more of the same; attack another ship, slash more bad guys, then scream triumphantly at the top of your lungs, like any glorious Spartan would.
The graphics are highly detailed and I enjoyed all the dramatic lighting effects because it really added to the intrigue. When you save up enough power, you can unleash especially deadly blows, and the game is sure to change perspective and zoom up on the action so you can see each drop of blood that's spilled, in all its gory detail.
The controls are simple taps to slash, block with your shield and a virtual joystick for movement. The animation did stutter occasionally and the game ran my CPU hot overall.
300: Seize Your Glory is entertaining and fans of the film will surely find it hugely satisfying. But as a game, it needs a little more to it. Fun for a bit, but not much more than that.
Final ratings
Gameplay 8/10
Story 7/10
Graphics 9/10
Sound 9/10

To help us practice making less trash many companies have partnered with us to send the kiddos items that they can reuse to encourage less waste!
Our first company that we received items from is Bumkins (www.bumkins.com). They sent us different designs and sizes of reusable pouches that could be use for sandwiches, chips, snacks, etc! The kids are so excited to use them in their lunchboxes! Thank you Bumkins!
Delaney says, "Thank you for donating these! I love how you made the designs and different sizes. They are really cool. We want to give you a really big thank you poster!"
Jasper says, "Thank you for giving us these bags. They are so soft and I like all of the sizes. It is great that we can keep them so we don't throw them away. They seem great and you can't ruin them."
Addy says, "We love sharing our world together with you!"

Friday! This has seriously been a fantastic week over here. For once! We celebrated Dearest Carl's birthday with DIY stir fry at Mongolian BBQ and homemade crepes with cheesecake filling. We made more progress on the bathroom. I discovered a secret that has helped me put together posts insanely fast. My French press broke and was replaced with a Keurig (EEK!!). We had time to just be together and laugh together and snuggle instead of jumping straight out of bed in the morning. Yes, it was a great week.
Today, after the routine trip to the grocery with Grace, she and I will be heading out lunching and shopping with Rachael and Bekah. Then this weekend holds a birthday party and another recipe shoot with Olivia. And probably lots of coffee. Because I can. Plus the weather people are promising a warm up next week. Spring is coming! Bring it on!
Orange Olive Oil Body Scrub (Trying this out this weekend!)
Clad and Cloth (Isn't this a pretty shop?)
The Most Ignored Commandment (This hit me in the face with a 2×4. Not only do I need to work on this myself, but I need to encourage Dearest Carl to do it with me.)

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. John 14:26
The original Greek "Parakletos" meaning the Helper, the Advocate, the Intercessor, the Counselor , the Comforter, The Holy Spirit has been sent to dwell in us and teach us ALL things.
Notice how the Father, Son , and Holy Spirit are all in unison here
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. John 14:26
Whenever you're trying to discuss the Bible with somebody who is not "Born Again", they struggle to understand what you're talking about. Why? Because they don't have the Holy Spirit to teach them, to intercess for them, to Counsel them. Am I saying that Christians never have trouble understanding scripture? No , I continually wrestle with scripture on a daily basis, however unsaved people cant even grasp the basic concepts of God without the Holy Spirit
The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit 1 Corinthians 2:14
A person living for the flesh, cant understand spiritual things. This is why Apologetics is an effective way of Evangelism. Because witnessing to unsaved people will just sound like foolishness to them. However we should make it a point for all conversations to lead to the gospel. Its only by the gospel of Jesus Christ that any of us can be saved
Allow the Holy Spirit to teach you, to guide you, to comfort you, to advocate for you in Jesus Name Amen!
