how to apologize
- Jun

- 2017
We all screw up from time to time. Getting better at knowing what we did and being able to articulate that with empathy for the person that was affected, is key to thriving and trust filled relationships. Apologizing well is an art. An art that many have not taken the time to master. Perhaps its because an effective apology takes the skill of honest and humble introspection. Apologizing also takes courage and a willingness to be uncomfortable. To land an apology that makes a difference, you also have to willing to be "wrong", accept the effects of whatever blunder you committed (hurt feelings, loss of opportunity, or whatever else the effect was) and change your behavior in the future. Put all of this together and is it any wonder most people do half apologies, or none at all, before running away and hiding?
Perhaps we should cover how NOT to apologize first. Besides not apologizing at all, here are three of the biggest mistakes people make:
- saying I'm sorry, BUT. This is actually just a sneaky way to avoid admitting you were wrong by somehow justifying your action. It could be pointing the blame to outside forces or pointing out what you were thinking that made you take that action. Explaining your motivation can come much later to increase understanding, but not in the same sentence.
- Upon your friend/lover etc pointing out that something you did or said affected them negatively, immediately redirecting the conversation to something THEY did in the past, instead of looking at yourself honestly.
- Committing the same blunder over and over again. There are only so many times you can say you are sorry, but keep screwing up in the same way. Over time it becomes like the little boy who cried wolf. Your apology loses its power and becomes meaningless.
Ok, so how then to apologize well? Here are some pointers:
- Take some time to sit with yourself and ask honestly; What was my part in this? What can I own up to? Just taking the time to do this alone, can help you see your part and create a softness in the space between you and the other person. This softness is where healing begins.
- Asking if now is a good time to talk. We can get so caught up in the NEED to get our apology off our chest, that we can miss that the person we want to apologize to may not be in the space for it. It shows sensitivity, maturity and respect to honor the other persons head space and time.
- Keep it simple at first. Simply saying; "I want to apologize to you." and then pausing, so that you can both get comfortable in a space of vulnerability. Breathe. You will be less likely to get defensive, or jump back into trying to justify, if you take your time and take many pauses to recenter if necessary.
- Saying "I'm sorry THAT...." When you apologize don't just say, "I'm sorry I hurt you." This is better than nothing, but it can also be a cop out. Saying something like "I'm sorry I made you feel bad." can easily be just a way to get it over with without actually understanding what happened or what part you played in it. If you can not only say you are sorry, but detail exactly what you did, it will go a long way in letting the other person know that you see yourself clearly. There is nothing more reassuring than knowing the person you are with can really see themselves and is willing to grow.
- After "I'm sorry that" follow up with specific actions that will help you not make the blunder again. And then make sure you actually DO them ;)
- Finally, ask questions. "How do you feel now?" "Is there any other action I can take to help us clear this and grow forward?" Letting your friend know you care about how they feel and are available to listen can do wonders in helping them feel loved, and cared for.
Ok, lets make a specific example. Keeping it light, lets say that you always show up late when you meet with a certain person.
Scenario one:
You: OMG.. sorry I'm late but traffic was so bad (or my dog made me late, or I forgot my wallet... etc etc)!
Friend: no worries. (meanwhile they are making mental notes that you can't be counted on and you won't change because there is always an excuse. Plus, maybe you just don't really respect or care about them that much so you just went down a notch on their "close friend" list.)
Scenario two:
You: Wow, I am really seeing that I always show up late to hang out with you. I am so sorry. From now on I am going to set my alarm an hour earlier so that doesn't happen again. You are important to me and it's not cool that I have allowed myself to be late over and over again.
Friend: No worries! <hugs you> (meanwhile, is touched and inspired that you care enough about them to change your behavior, and are humble and wise enough to tell one on yourself without making excuses or blaming anything outside yourself for your own behavior. You just went up a few notches on their friends list.)
Which one feels better? Which one would you like to receive? Of course its harder the bigger the blunder. It takes an almost physical effort sometimes to not react by justifying or blaming in the moment. I screw that up all the time. But if you practice self awareness (via meditation or something else), you will at the very least catch it sooner. The more you get in the habit of just owning up to things (as long as they are truly yours to own up to!), the easier it gets and the more you and your relationships will flourish.
One last caveat. Some people really suck at accepting an apology. Some people will take your vulnerable space and use it to make you feel worse or just plain milk the moment. Mostly unconscious I think, but if it isn't... maybe you will want to reconsider that friendship. Ideally, in a growth centered relationship, your friend see and honor the courage it took to own up and even better, maybe come back with something THEY could have done better too (depending on the situation). This is a key element to equal, growth centered and loving relationships. That being said. We all screw everything up over and over again (hellllo humanity!), so there is no getting this perfect. Just another something beautiful to strive for ;)
As always, we are all in this together!

What's the motivation for choosing meat-substitutes over the 'real' thing?
Click here for part 3 of this 3-part series, which introduces and discusses the definition and popular options for meat alternatives in Europe.
Alternatively, click here to go to part 1, which explains 5 of the top meat alternatives across Europe, and why they're so popular.
Are there any health benefits of reducing meat intake?
In short, yes. The World Health Organization (2018) recommends following 'a nutritious diet based on a variety of foods originating mainly from plants, rather than animals', with plant-based eating in line with the Eatwell guide; the latest dietary guidelines published by Public Health England, which replaced the outdated Eatwell plate in 2016. The new guide makes a number of distinct alterations to better reflect healthy eating recommendations devised from evidence based research, one of which was to rename the pink segment of the plate representing protein to 'Beans, pulses, fish, eggs, meat and other proteins' (Public Health England, 2016) to better illustrate the contribution that non-meat sources should make to daily protein intake.
Almost half those interested in cutting down on their meat consumption have said that the positive health implications associated with adopting a more plant-based diet would be their primary reason for doing so, but is a less meat-orientated diet really better for us? Evidence from several epidemiological studies and meta-analyses suggests so.
Although red meat provides high-quality protein and also some essential micronutrients including iron, zinc, and vitamin B12 as part of a balanced diet, there is an established causal link between overconsumption of red and processed meat and a variety of non-communicable health diseases, notably cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes mellitus and certain cancers (Petersen, et al., 2017).
In concurrence, a study recently found that diets which reduce red meat consumption in favour of an alternative protein source have been shown to be correlated with a reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes and lower mortality risk, therefore substantially reducing lifestyle-related disease burden long-term (Penny, Swift and Salter, 2015).
A review conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2015 determined that consumption of red meat is classified as "probably carcinogenic to humans" and processed meat as "carcinogenic to humans", which has since been supported by further epidemiological research (Domingo and Nadal, 2017). Therefore, the Department of Health guidelines recommend consuming no more than 70g red or processed meat per day. Evidence suggests that adopting a flexitarian diet plentiful in plant-based sources of protein can help individuals meet these recommendations, and subsequently could prevent 45,000 premature deaths, as well as saving the NHS more than £1.2 million per year.
Moreover, controversial new research published in BMC Nutrition and the Journal of Nutrition & Food Sciences has suggested that as well as over-consumption of sugar and fat-laden foods in the western diet significantly contributing towards obesity prevalence, meat protein consumed in the quantities often seen today is equally as damaging. The theory behind this assertion is that meat protein is digested by the body later than that of fats and carbohydrates, therefore the excess energy we receive from this source of protein provides a surplus, which is then converted to and readily stored as fat in the human body (You and Henneberg, 2016), however more research is needed in this area to confirm this hypothesis.
Other health concerns regarding meat consumption surround the extensive administration of antibiotics, not just as a treatment for disease in animals, but as a preventative measure in intensive farming practices. This is exacerbating the existing virulence of antibiotic resistant bacteria via either direct contact between humans and treated animals, consumption of their meat or indirect traces of animal excretion in the environment, all of which are linked to increasing the risk of superbugs; an increasingly significant threat to human health. However, figures suggest that limiting global meat consumption to 40g/d per person, the equivalent to a couple of slices of processed ham, could reduce antibiotic use in animals by 2/3rds, although even a modest reduction per person would inevitably help the overall fight in preventing antibiotic resistance.
There is strong and consistent evidence that adopting a plant-based diet is associated with a variety of positive long term health outcomes, the foremost being reducing the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including maintaining low blood pressure, reducing circulation of bad cholesterol (low/very low density lipoproteins) and promoting maintenance of a healthy weight. In fact, multiple clinical trials have showed as much as a 40% reduction in risk of death directly related to CVD and heart disease in individuals reducing their weekly meat intake (Kahleova, Levin and Barnard, 2018). Processed plant-based foods may not be quite as nutritionally adequate as whole plant foods, however they are still often comparably much lower in fat, saturated fat and cholesterol than equivalent meat products, so are undoubtedly a healthier alternative when eaten as part of a balanced diet. The main conclusion that can be drawn from this is that Europeans should aim to eat less meat overall, and better quality lean meat when they do.

Food Scares
Repeated occurrence of food scandals in recent years which have involved meat, for instance, the infamous 'horse meat' scandal of 2013, have understandably shaken consumer confidence in the traceability, quality and safety of meat products available for purchase on supermarket shelves, further influencing meat deconsumerism. In light of such scares, a survey of 1000 French consumers recently revealed that one third have chosen to reduce their meat consumption by a third over the last two years, (Carlhian, B., 2017) with other figures from European countries indicating a similar trend.
Protecting our environment
Global warming remains a hot topic in today's headlines, with NASA (2018) noting that 'global temperatures will continue to rise for decades to come, largely due to greenhouse gases produced by human activities'. It is a massive burden for every continent, affecting agriculture, biodiversity, wildlife, human health, ecosystems and water food supplies.
The livestock sector is undeniably one of the most significant contributors to global climate change, estimated by the FAO (2018) to account for 14.5–21% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Meat production is associated with pollution through fossil fuel usage in numerous pre-farm and on-farm practices, water and land consumption causing loss of carbon-dioxide (CO2) absorbing trees and the abundance of methane (CH4) given off by animal waste and the animals themselves (Petrovic et al., 2015).
One quarter of UK meat consumers claim that environmental concerns are the main reason for them considering cutting down on their meat consumption. In support of the flexitarian diet, research has shown that the production of plant-based foods is generally associated with lower greenhouse gas emissions than the production of animal food products (Scarborough et al., 2014). (Photo by Jinen Shah on Unsplash)
A recent study gathered and analysed data on the environmental impacts of farming wheat and soy, considering factors including fertilizer use, pesticides in water, as well as energy used for cultivation, harvesting and transportation. It concluded that plant alternatives can generate approximately 10x less greenhouse gas emissions than beef production (Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), 2016) with statistics indicating that the manufacture of meat substitutes produces an average of 2.4kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) per kilogram of product compared to 9-12.9kg for beef, 4kg for pork and 2-6kg for chicken, which further illustrates why avoiding excessive meat consumption, especially beef, is good for the environment.
On an individual level, a study undertaken at the University of Oxford aimed to compare the greenhouse gas emissions produced by a large sample of over 55,000 participants varying in dietary persuasion by analyzing completed food frequency questionnaires. They found that high meat-eaters, defined as individuals who eat >100g meat per day, produced approximately twice as much dietary GHG emissions compared to individuals following a vegan diet (Scarborough et al., 2014). Consequently, it has been suggested that if an individual cut down on their weekly meat consumption by substituting some meat products for plant-based and vegetable alternatives, their personal carbon foot print could be cut by 50%; an achievable target.
Animal welfare
The issue of animal welfare during meat processing is often cited by flexitarians, vegetarians and vegans as a key driving factor behind their preferred lifestyle choice. Recent advancements in technology have made sharing and accessing information online quick and easy, and consequently people are becoming increasingly aware of the potential ethical issues regarding the use of animals in the meat and dairy industry. It takes less than a minute to find visual evidence on social media platforms or short amateur films online documenting the brutality that is arguably common practice, which prior to the advancements in data sharing was kept hidden from public view. This suggests that there is a clear argument that reducing meat consumption globally would therefore reduce the demand for meat, and in turn, benefiting the overall well-being of animals.
With this being said, a study in 2016 explored the motives of German consumers choosing to follow a vegan diet and their attitudes towards animal agriculture came to the conclusion that these attitudes vary considerably from person to person. The authors found it intriguing that, despite the majority of participants admitting that they didn't think positive animal welfare practice is possible in agriculture, one third of the sample of 329 consumers indicated that they would be open to forms of animal agriculture (Janssen et al., 2016) In contradiction to the motive often cited anecdotally by those dedicated to reducing their meat consumption, this research indicates that animal welfare is one, but perhaps not the most compelling factor, in their decision making.

The Background!
What? You need another history lesson? I swear, you mammals are so slow-brained. Alright, one more time, and this time I'll be veeeeery slooooooow.
You're on Planet Earth! Yes, Earth, which it has always been called since time immemorial. You live on the island of Jaaaapaaaaaan, which is a crescent-shaped place in a huge sea! The only nearby landmass is the smaller, and more inferior, island of China to the west. Far to the east rests the vast continent of America, stretching from the Arctic to the Antarctic, it was once dominated by a dreadful and oppressive empire of humans.
Yes, humans, much like yourself, were once a dominant species on the planet Earth! But, no longer.
Humankind and birdkind, of which I am one, thank you, notice the feathers and beak, used to live side by side. Humankind inferior and envious of our glory, our mastery of the skies. Then one day, it became too much and they developed a terrible viral weapon to use against us! Fortunately they weren't as clever as they thought, and it backfired, killing most of them and crashing their civilization into the ground, leaving only a few million survivors. You're not one of those, of course, you were raised since, by an isolated group of survivors!
At least until your early years where we, glorious birdkind, found and rescued you, educated you in our superior science and culture, and gave you a place in one of our schools. You're not the only one to be given this wonderful chance, but be thankful for it anyway. Most of your fellow students, and all of your teachers, will be birds like myself. Can't leave it to savages like your race, can we now? Hopefully you'll be more competent than your forebears.
That lump at the base of your skull? The round one? That's a cybernetic implant we gave you. Just in case you're still susceptible to residual viral traces, it provides you with a constant stream of antibodies. Stop fiddling with it! You might break it, your inferior hunter-gatherer blood seems to have talent for breaking things…

Q: When does a cat go tweet instead of meow?
A: When it's on Twitter.
When I was speaking to Mary Hodder at the Web 2.0 Summit, the subject turned, not so surprisingly, to Twitter. Ms. Hodder is an academic-entrepreneur-consultant-developer who seems to be all over the most interesting corners of the social media world. And of course, she clicks what she preaches, which these days means using Twitter's 140-character messages — Tweets in Twitterspeak — as her main way to communicate with friends and figure out what news to read. (Her Twitter feed.)
So wired is Ms. Hodder's household that her many cats tweet as well.
She began transcribing the tweets of her cats when she was taking care of a friend's pet, which wanted to stay in touch with its owner. Then she discovered many others hissing and purring on Twitter. One is Sockington, who now tweets to nearly 3,000 followers.
Here's some of the latest from Ms. Hodder's flock of Felines 2.0:
CalibanTheCat: I hate the rain. wet kitty smell. ON ME!
MimiTheCat: (who tweets only in Haikus): quiet black cat / a day free of bullying / ummm, you ok pal?
Pantherthecat: @sparklecat so far.. it's only hyroid medicine. think of it. they'll put it in my mouth and i'll hiss at them. twice a day. for life.
arielthecat : @Pantherthecat running away from youz scary kitties.. yr already dressed for halloween!
(Twitter users, human or otherwise, use the @ sign to indicate they are replying to a message from someone else.)
There's a long history of animals on the Internet, of course, with a menagerie of blogs, e-mail lists, profiles and even live puppy cams. Facebook has tried, in vain, to ban nonhuman members, which has led to entire canine social networks.
Twitter, Ms. Hodder argues, is not suited to all animals. Cats, she said, are always striking a pose that implies the sort of pithy bon mot that is perfect for Twitter.
"Cats have something to say," she said. "Dogs don't. They are always lying around doing the same boring things."

Top 11 Tallest Buildings Of The World
11 Changsha IFS Tower T1, China : 452 metres / 1,482.9 ft
Changsha IFS Tower T1 is under construction in Changsha, China. The construction started in 2013, the skyscrapper will be 452 metres (1,482.9 ft) tall and is expected to be completed in 2017.
Based on Harbour City ( Honkong ), a hyper-connected retail development, the twin-tower is under development. The development highlights two skyscrapers, with Tower 2 rising 315 meters and Tower 1 rising 452 meters. The rectangular form of the glass-clad towers is discontinued by a sequence of metal fins that add more complexity to their appearance and lessen glare for the interior office spaces. Tower 1 highlights a crown that incrementally sets back by several feet at three points.
At the bottom, a block-sized podium holds a mega mall of 230,000 square meters. The Changsha IFS Tower T1 also features a 700 meters of retail street frontage, greater than that of its Harbour City. Among the largest in Changsha and Central China, the retail mall offers amenities spanning culture, entertainment, lifestyle, and dining.
10 International Commerce Centre, Hong Kong: 484 meters / 1588 Feet
The International Commerce Centre is a 108 – storey, 484 meters (1,588 ft) commercial skyscraper located in West Kowloon, Hong Kong. In 2010 ICC was the 4th tallest building in the world (third in Asia) when its structure was completed, although its position has now slipped.

In the cold, dark, fear of 3 a.m., when the cancer patient is most alone, I found ToddlerPlanet, a blog written by cancer fighting princess warrior, awesome mommy, and astrophysicist, Susan Niebur (also known as @whymommy).
She had warm eyes and the sweetest smile, but it was her wit that took my breath away. You had to pay attention because her comments were quiet, under-the-breath, but they would make you snort-laugh and shoot your champagne out your nose. To be honest, I didn't know her very well, we only met a …
Saturday morning Punk Rock Mommy died from inflammatory breast cancer. Her husband uploaded her last post and I read it and cried. I never met Punk Rock Mommy, I had never read her blog before this morning. But I am struck by the human spirit and how impending death can clarify perspective. Punk Rock Mommy …
This is the heartbreaking, achingly beautiful story of matt, liz and madeline. Liz gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in March, and died the next day.

Here at Bloody Good Horror we spend much of our time talking about good movies and bad movies alike, and picking apart the things that place titles in either category. In horror specifically, there is a beautiful gradient, comprised of everything from "so bad it's good" to "just plain bad." For many movies in this grey area, the viewing experience itself - who you watch it with and how - can be as important as the movie itself. In that tradition, monthly on a Thursday we'll fondly recall one of those kinds of movies that seem made for the loud and alcohol-fueled viewing party, and give you the framework to host a screening of your very own, complete with imbibing instructions!
Note: BGH reminds you to respect the minimum age requirement for drinking in whatever god forsaken hellhole you live in.
It's been a week of upsets! First the Eagles won the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history and now the crew at Bloody Good Horror is doing something truly unprecedented! We are bringing you a drinking game about a horror movie about a kid who is afraid to fall asleep because his dreams are real that DOESN'T involve Freddy Krueger.
Slated for release in 2015, Mike Flanagan's Before I Wake recently dropped on Netflix and we decided we just couldn't leave you hanging. Flanagan has brought us a lot of pretty dang good genre fare, plus this one stars a scraggly Thomas Jane and the kid from Room, so you know it's going to be decent (we hope!). Don't let the delayed release get you down, and if it does, just crack open a cold one and we'll get ya through it!
1. Drink for the moths. Not to be confused with the butterflies.
2. Sip every time you see those dead-eyed dream people.
3. Fisnish your drink if you recognize director Mike Flanagan in his cameo!
4. Quaff (see how fancy we are?) for the eventual explanation of why this poor little boy has these scar dreams.
5. Take a swig every time he falls asleep. Don't fall asleep!

Weston Kiwanis has been working for months to put on a big town event, the Dog Jamboree, and by all accounts they succeeded. The heat spell broke just in time, the turnout was great, and everyone we spoke to was pleased.
It was an interesting combination of fun, demonstrations, and seminars. Proceeds go toward improving the Hurlbutt Elementary School playground and to the Kiwanis Foundation, which is dedicated to serving children.
The fun included competitions for the best tail wagger, best trick, dog that looks most like its owner (as if we own them), best singer, and best lap dog over 50 pounds. Judges included Weston's two state senators, First Selectman Chris Spaulding, and Democratic State Representative candidate Anne Hughes.
There was also a parade. You will want to see the pictures of that in our slideshow.
Demonstrations included a training session, animal rescue, and guide dogs. The seminars were on pet safety, police dogs wolves, coyotes, and dogs, choosing the right dog, and vet tech careers.
Several dog rescue and adoption groups were on hand, with plenty of adoptable dogs.
The Middle School field was ringed by tents, tables and booths. Vendors ranged from dog rescue groups, family services, pet food and services companies, artists, organizations such as Wildlife in Crisis and the Weston Dog Park group, and the Democratic Town Committee. Food trucks were on hand.
As with last week's Valley Forge event, a number of people told us it was nice to have another opportunity to socialize with neighbors they know and those they enjoyed meeting for the first time.
We don't know for sure if Kiwanis intends to make this an annual event, but based on today's results, it seems clear it would be a welcome town amenity.

Request Quotation Call Us Book Consultation
In a divorce case, will both spouses receive an equal share of the matrimonial assets? Read on to find out.
The complexities that ensue a divorce more often than not involve the division of matrimonial assets. While divorce procedures for Muslim couples are governed by Islamic family laws [1], civil law divorce is governed under the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 ("the Act"). Division of matrimonial assets in a civil law divorce is also governed under the Act.
So what happens when a couple decidedly part ways due to an irretrievable breakdown of marriage? Will the matrimonial assets be split equally among them?
Let us give you a brief overview on the division of assets in a civil law divorce.
What are Matrimonial Assets?
Matrimonial assets includes all the movable and immovable properties acquired by the couple during their marriage through joint efforts for the purpose of continuing resources for the spouse or their children or the family as a whole.
The following are some examples that constitute matrimonial assets:
- Matrimonial home;
- Other immovable properties acquired during marriage;
- Tangible properties such as cars, jewellery, furniture and other valuables;
- Intangible properties such as monies, shares and equities, investment funds, employment provident fund (EPF) fund, and etc; and
- Gifts, especially those of substantive value, from husband to wife and vice versa.
In addition to that, matrimonial assets can also include assets that are owned by a single party before or during the marriage [2] but was subsequently improved by both parties individually or jointly [3]. For example, a house that is owned by either the husband or the wife before marriage can be considered a matrimonial asset if it was subsequently renovated or improved upon by both the husband and wife or the either party individually.
How are Matrimonial Assets Divided?
There are two types of divorce under the Act, namely a single petition and a joint petition. In a single petition, both spouses are not able to reach a consensus on the divorce, whilst in a joint petition, both spouses can mutually agree to the dissolution of their marriage.
Joint petitions [4] go through an uncontested proceeding in court, and the division of matrimonial assets is most likely to accord with what has been mutually agreed upon between the spouses.
However, in single petitions[5]/contested proceedings, the court may exercise a wider discretion in the division of property as it sees fit. Following the divorce petition by either one of the spouses, a hearing date will be set for the court to decide on matrimonial issues. Thereafter, the court will have the discretion to grant a decree of divorce or judicial separation, and to order the division of the matrimonial assets accordingly[6].
Factors Considered in Asset Division
For matrimonial assets, the court is always inclined towards equal division, subject to the three factors below [7]:
- Extent of contribution made by each spouse towards acquiring the matrimonial assets;
- Debts owing by either spouse arising from a contractual obligation for their joint benefit; and
- Needs of minor children arising from the marriage.
For non-matrimonial assets, i.e. assets acquired before marriage by either one of the spouses [8] or assets acquired through the sole effort of one spouse [9], the court will generally grant greater portion to the spouse who acquired those assets, subject to the two factors below [10]:
- Extent of contribution from the spouse who did not acquire the assets, such as looking after the family or caring after them; and
- Needs of minor children arising from the marriage.
What about the EPF?
Even though EPF may be considered a matrimonial asset, a spouse's EPF will generally not be equally divided. The recent Court of Appeal case of Yap Yen Piow v Hee Wee Eng [11] held that the court is not obliged to divide the EPF money at all but is giving the wife 25% of the husband's EPF sum based on equitable grounds considering her indirect contribution towards the wellbeing of the family and hence the husband's EPF.
Despite having said so, the case of Koay Cheng Eng v Linda Herawati Santoso [12] held for the husband's EPF funds to be equally divided between the spouses. The court was of the view that it was only just and equitable to do so as the wife entered into the marriage with the intention of growing old with the husband, and the EPF was intended to be used by the both of them in their old age.
Where does the law stand?
Although there are legislative guidelines as to how matrimonial assets are to be distributed, the courts retains the discretion to distribute matrimonial assets based on the facts and scenarios presented before them.
Each divorce case is unique and the facts differs from one married couple to the other. Therefore, the distribution of matrimonial assets varies on a case to case basis and there is no guarantee that both spouses will receive equal distribution of the same.

In this article, you will learn how to make an cell phone detector. This cell phone detector can also be called as mobile phone detector or smartphone detector.
Now, we will make a handy cell phone detector which is able to detect active cell phones near by this circuit.
Lets make it …
Components Required for Cell Phone detector
- BC548 Transistor
- 2.2M Ohm Resistors – x2
- 1K Ohm Resistor
- 100K Ohm Resistor
- 47pF Capacitor
- 0.22uF Capacitor
- 100uF Capacitor
- RED Color LED
- 9V Power Supply
Cell Phone Detector Circuit
Working of Cell Phone Detector Circuit
The normal AM and FM bands are in MHz frequency so we will able to detect using a normal LC circuit. But in case of cell phone frequency it lies between 0.9 to 3 GHz. Here in this circuit we have used CA3130 IC which offers high speed performace, high input impedance and very low input current. The 0.22uF capacitor connect at input of CA3130 plays a vital role in the circuit. Here 0.22uF is used to capture RF signals and the capacitor leads acts as antenna for the circuit.
The 0.22uF capacitor stores the energy in it and the stored energy is applied at input of the IC. The circuit design is in such a way that, the input is balanced and output of the circuit is approximately zero.
When ever a mobile phone is active at circuit it distrub the electromagnetic field around the capacitor and makes it to discharge. This discharged energy flow into the input of the IC, which leads to flashing of LED.
Construction of the Circuit
This circuit is easy to build as there are less number of components, but the circuit is very much sensitive to electromagnetic field around it. Using a breadboard or vero board may not give desired output as they can induce unwanted capacitance and resistance into the circuit.
I recommend you to use a PCB which have protective coating on it. I have already designed a PCB for you, which can be downloaded from the following link.

Getting the most from your health plan is important to many seniors, but it is not always easy to navigate your way through all of the benefit plans and options. Your plan choices may vary depending on the county in which you live, the medical conditions you have, and your financial status. Many people even mistakenly believe spouses need to be enrolled in the same health plan. The following tips and tricks are provided as a conversation starter. For a more thorough conversation about your current health plan and available options, we welcome you to stop by our office or schedule an in-home appointment by calling Best Plan Choice at 727-845-5297. Our services are always provided by a licensed agent and are without cost to you.
Transportation to the grocery store:
If your health plan offers transportation services the benefit typically only covers trips to and from the doctor or pharmacy. By transferring your prescriptions to a store that also sells grocery items you can use your transportation benefits to pick up some necessities. Just remember you may have a short wait for the return trip so you may want to pass on buying ice cream.
Lower your specialist copayment:
Health plan copayments are generally higher for specialist care because a specialist has more extensive training. This encourages patients to first seek medical attention from their primary care provider. If you are under the care of a specialist consider this tip; select a health plan with lower specialist copayments, go to a medical center offering an in-house specialist, or select an internist with a sub-specialty as your primary care physician.
Never pay for bandages again:
Many health plans cover over-the-counter (OTC) products. There is no charge for the items and each month you are given an allowance to order products such as bandages, cough syrups, and blood pressure monitors. The trick is remembering to place your monthly order because it is a "use it or lose it" benefit. Unused credits do not carry over to the next month. Feel free to stop by our office if you have misplaced your catalog or want to learn how you may be eligible for up to $50 a month in OTC items.
Bigger social security checks:
Enrollment in a health plan requires you to have both Part A and Part B of Medicare. Your $134 monthly premium (in 2018) for Part B is automatically deducted from your social security check. There are health plans in Florida offering an automatic rebate of Part B premiums to members of certain plans. Rebates currently range from about $60 to over $100 a month, and new rebates for 2019 will be shared around October 1st. Keep in mind when you first enroll in a rebate plan it could take a few months for the money to show up in your social security check. Once it is set up, you will be paid retroactively from your effective date.
Exercise for free:
Fitness centers usually experience less use between the early morning and after-work crowds. It is a perfect time for the centers to host classes specifically designed for seniors. Health plans may offer access to fitness centers and classes to encourage its members to be active and social. If you haven't been to Zumba or yoga class, grab your sneakers and try a class. All skill levels are welcomed, and you'll find yourself feeling better as you meet new friends.
Cut your prescription costs by a third:
To encourage the use of mail order services many health plans offer a three-month supply of medications for the cost of two month's copay. This option not only saves you money on your drugs, but it may also eliminate a monthly trip to the pharmacy, and you will be more likely to take your medicines if you always have a supply. Signing up is simple, and we are always glad to assist you.
Give your health plan an annual checkup:
It is important to review your benefits each year between October 1st and Dec 7th. Unless there is a special exception, this is the time you can enroll, disenroll or change your plan. Now is the perfect time to call us to schedule an appointment to review your current plan by calling 727-845-5297.

CLEVELAND– The man who killed a pizza delivery driver in 2015 was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 15 years on Thursday.
Tyrone Leegrand, 26, was found guilty of several charges including felonious assault, carrying a concealed weapon and tampering with evidence last month in the death of Michael Prock, 41, of Cleveland.
"He'll never walk me down the aisle, he'll never meet his grandchildren," said Carrie Prock, the victim's daughter. "We want the max."
Prock was working as a driver for Nunzio's Pizza on Lorain Avenue. He was delivering food at West 59th Street and Bridge Avenue on June 11, 2015 when he was approached by Leegrand, according to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office.
Prock started to drive away and Leegrand shot at the car, prosecutors said. The victim suffered a gunshot wound, but continued to drive until he crashed into a pole.
Prosecutors said Leegrand has been a danger to the community since he was 18 years old.

In online learning, assessment can be accomplished by a variety of activity types. The most common is the quiz module, where the True/False and Multiple Choice formats are the standard options. While these familiar formats remain the most popular, the Moodle community has created some amazing additional question formats that can be incorporated into a quiz module, enhancing any quiz and improving your assessment results.
All-or-Nothing Multiple Choice
Similar to the Multiple Choice question that is standard with Moodle and Totara, the All-or-Nothing Multiple Choice format requires that the learner choose all correct answers or receive no credit for the question. This can be accomplished with the standard Multiple Choice question type by having an "all of the above" or "a and b are both correct" option but this can act as a hint for learners. The All-or-Nothing Multiple Choice format removes the hint and requires a full understanding of the material by asking learners to pick all correct answers or receive no credit. It does require, though, that you modify the question to direct learners to select all that apply.
A quiz may need to assess whether a learner knows the proper steps or order of events. With the Ordering question type, an instructor provides a list of items and the learner must drag them into the correct order. Since the order is the focus of this question type, it's important to note that the learner must get the order correct to receive credit and there is no partial credit option for this question.
PoodLL Recording
An audio or video answer is a better assessment than a written response in some learning scenarios. The PoodLL recording question type allows the learner to record an audio or video response to a question in the quiz. In corporate Training, this question type would be a great for sales or customer service scenarios. In K-20, this is an excellent option for checking pronunciation in a foreign language class.
Matrix Question
Completing a set of related questions can be difficult in online quizzes. Matrix Question format makes this much easier by allowing Instructors to create question "table". Columns are set as answers and each question is set on a separate row. For example, a customer call scenario could be given as part of a product training. Each product is listed in a column. Specific features requested by the customer are listed in the rows. The learner must choose which product includes that feature. The benefit of this question type is that it's all displayed in a single question.
These are all great additions to the Moodle and Totara Quiz module but don't forget that there are also a few interactive questions that have now become standard Moodle questions including these favorites of ours:
- Drag and Drop onto Image
- Drag and Drop into Text
- Embedded Answers
Assessments are how we know our learners have reached the goal of actually absorbing and understanding the information provided to them. While Multiple Choice and True/False are great question types, it's always good to have other question types at your disposal in case they are better able to help you achieve that goal.

What is a Minimal Character: Knowing the Minor Characters' Role
What is a Minimal Character: Knowing the Minor Characters' Role
Its not all characters are made equal.
You have to know— and let your readers know— which roles are essential to the narrative (i. age. the major characters), so they're going to know which might be worth right after and thoughtful about, plus which will immediately disappear
(i. age. the of no concern placeholders).
So where is the dividing line concerning major and also minor roles? There isn't an individual. The different stages shade right into each other, so that as you excel at the creating techniques right to each amount, you'll be able to produce and establish each trivial character on exactly the degree of importance situation requires.
Walk-ons and Placeholders
Except when your story takes place in the hermitage or possibly a desert is, your main characters are between many people who definitely are utterly trival in the account. They are record; they are part of the milieu. Check out samples:
Nora accidentally brought the cabby a $20 bill for one $5 ride and then was too shy to request change. Within the minute some skycap previously had the rest of your ex money.
Pete examined at the receptionist counter for her messages. Generally there weren't any sort of, but the bellman did have a very package intended for him.
People started out honking their very own horns previously Nora actually knew there was a traffic congestion.
Unsurprisingly some shady neighbor experienced called the factory workers. The unvarying who busted him wasn't interested in Pete's explanations, together with Pete shortly found him self at the precinct headquarters.
Notice who we've «met" in these number of sentences: any cabby, your skycap, your hotel office clerk, some sort of bellman, horn-honkers in a traffic congestion, a suspect neighbor, a good uniformed police. Every single one of people is built to fulfill a short while role within the story and then vanish thoroughly out of eyesight.
Setting the main Scenery
How do you make people vanish? Any kind of stage home knows the trick. You have a mass of people with stage, a lot of them walk-ons. They must be certainly, there because usually the establishing wouldn't become realistic— nevertheless, you don't want them to keep the audience's attention. In effect, you want the property to be like scenery. They really aren't figures at all— they're sliding pieces of milieu.
The surest way for your walk-on to have himself dismissed from your job from a carry out is to come to be «creative" — to start fidgeting or doing some clever piece of stage organization that distracts attention on the main steps of the stage. Unless, of course , this is some of those rare circumstances when the walk-on's new business is certainly brilliantly funny— in which case, perhaps you may even give him more and elevate the business.
You have identical options inside fiction. If your character just who isn't likely to matter starts off distracting through the main ribbon of the scenario, you possibly cut your ex out absolutely or you discover why you, like a writer, ended up so thinking about her that you've spent more time on her you meant to. After that, in the last option case, up-date the story to create her problem more.
Usually, though, you would like your walk-ons to disappear. You want these phones fade as well as be part of often the scenery, portion of the milieu.
Applying Stereotypes
To keep walk-on characters in their place, at times stereotyping is exactly the software of depiction you need.
A stereotype is often a character who's going to be a typical person in a group. This individual does what pay someone to do my homework the readers expect him to do. Therefore , people take certainly no notice regarding him: They disappears to the background.
Once we think that a unique stereotype is unfair for the person the idea supposedly stated, then all of us are free to by design violate often the stereotype. Though the moment most people do that, we have made the character unique, which can make him entice the readers' attention. He can no longer purely disappear— they isn't a walk-on anymore. They have stepped forward away from the milieu and also joined the storyplot.
Minor Roles
Nothing could possibly be wrong using a background character violating belief and getting attention— providing you realize that this individual isn't portion of the background any further. The readers will notice your man, and they'll anticipate his individuality to figure to something.
The particular audience however isn't meant to care a whole lot about him; the guy isn't is actually play a relentless role while in the story. He could be briefly involved in the action, but then almost certainly disappear. Nevertheless, his characteristics will fixed a mood, add hilarity, make the milieu more interesting and also complete. The world wide web make such characters easily memorable not having leading the particular audience should be expected them to repeat is to make sure they are eccentric, exaggerated or compulsive.
Remember film production company Beverly Inclines Cop? Difficult hundreds of placeholders in that film— thugs who else shot in cops, police who gained shot from, people milling around during the hotel vestibule, people within the hotel children's desk. They all acted exactly as you will expect those to act. They will vanished. Prior to personally recognized an professional who gamed one of the walk-ons, you don't consider any of them.
Nevertheless I'll gambled that as you walked outside the theater, a person remembered Bronson Pinchot. Not necessarily by brand, of course , in no way then. He was the office attendant in the art gallery. You're sure, the one with the effeminate fashion and the unique foreign accessorize. He had practically nothing to do with the exact story— whenever he had recently been a mere placeholder, you would already been noticed all sorts of things was incomplete. So why does one remember your pet?
It was not that he possessed a foreign emphasis. In the south, a Romance language accent will not be unusual; he would possess disappeared.
It wasn't his particular effeminacy. Again, he would fade.
But the effeminacy and the highlight were combined— and so the customers remembered them. What's more vital, though, is the accent ended up being an unconventional one, thoroughly unexpected. Pinchot based his or her accent within the speech of each Israeli he or she once realized; the feature was hence rare that almost no one in the customers recognized it all. It was some genuinely book way to converse. He was really not a foreigner; having been a strange and effeminate foreigner. Furthermore, Pinchot's reactions for you to Eddie Murphy— the tip of exasperation, superiority, snottiness in his tone— made your pet even more weird. Eccentric ample to stick in our minds.
Even though, though most people remembered the pup, we hardly ever expected his / her character that they are important to the story. He been with us only for one or two laughs and to make Murphy's Detroit-cop character experience even more strange in T. A. Pinchot managed to rob the scene— to get his or her promotion coming from walk-on— without the need of distorting the storyplot. He was comical, but selection no fantastic difference in terms of how the story progressed. He purely amused us for a instant.
Because he was a minor nature, that was what exactly he needed to be. Likewise, in your stories you must realize that your own personal minor people should not be pretty deep and carefully characterized. Just like flashbulbs, they want to shine one time, brightly, and then get chucked away.
A way to make a insignificant character display: You go on a normal human trait and make it just some little— or perhaps sometimes some sort of lot— considerably more extreme, just like the character Sweetface in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Baby. Butch and also Kid are in a brothel; the Pinkerton detectives cycle up on the road below. Now there we see the pudgy-faced personality who seems to resemble the intellect of clarte and believability. Butch explains Sundance a quick story concerning him— this with Sweetface covering to them, they're safe because everyone believes your pet. His loyal look is surely an exaggeration, but sure enough, if Sweetface explains of township, as if saying «they progressed thataway, " the Pinkertons take off in that particular direction.
A few moments in the future, the Pinkertons ride back and confront Sweetface again; Sweetface panics plus points direct toward the room where Butch and the Youngster are watching. His panic and betrayal are simply because exaggerated simply because his purity was in advance of. He stands in the recollection, and yet many of us never anticipated him to be important once again in the plan.
Let's get back to the case in point I offered of Nora's cabby, the make she given $20 for that $5 trip. The cliched reaction— «Hey, thanks, lady" — is very ordinary we can omit the idea entirely. But what if the cabdriver is excessive?
«What is that it, you planning to impress me? Trying to show me you're top echelons? Well, avoid suck vanity out of all of us, lady!
I only take what I bring in! "
Nora had little time for this. She hurried off from the taxi cab. To her big surprise, he dived cowardlessly out in addition to followed your ex, shouting from her having as much algarade as she would expect if she hadn't paid your man at all.
«You can't achieve this to me in the us! " the guy shouted. «I'm a Protestant. You never read about the Protestant work ethic? "
Finally your lover stopped. He or she caught up with her, still scolding. «You can't do your company rich-lady act with me, heard me? "
«Shut in place, " your lover said. «Give me again the something like 20. " He did, plus she provided him any five. «There, " the girl said. «Satisfied? "
His or her mouth put up open; this individual looked at the exact five on utter disbelief. «What are these claims! " they said. «No tip? "
Now, this is a guy who else won't release. If you saw that stage in a film or even examine it inside of a novel, prospects
are generally you'd try to remember the cabdriver. Yet you actually wouldn't be expecting him to be important during the plot. In cases where he showed
away again it would for more comedian relief, not for everything important.
Such as, when the scenario is all nevertheless over and Nora is coming residence with Pete for a well-earned rest, how to attract funny whenever they get in some cab and this turns out to be similar driver. Typically the audience would likely remember your pet well enough for that. But they will be outraged if your cabdriver turned out to be an meurtrier or a long-lost cousin.
This is able to not be accurate, however , issue were the initial scene on the story. At the beginning of the story, many of the characters usually are equal— all of us don't know any of them at all. So if in fact people wanted to ascertain the story of how Nora received involved with the following obsessive-compulsive cabdriver— or the way the cabdriver acquired Nora's notice so might start going out with her— this might be a pretty excellent beginning.
One other side of your coin is that if the cabdriver is supposed to always be minor, you might not begin the story with this particular scene. In cases where these were the best five paragraphs of the tale, we would of course expect the fact that the story could be related to Nora and then the cabby, once Nora continues through the account without ever discovering or even pondering the cabdriver again, sooner or later many people are going to question, «What had been that internet business with the cabdriver all about? "
As you employ these attempt varying diplomas with the countless characters inside your story, an unconscious
ranking within the characters will emerge during the readers' thoughts, starting with typically the least-important history characters, moving up through the slight characters, to the major personas, and finally to 2 or a few main characters or a sole protagonist— people or human being the story is mostly about.
