Sometimes it isn't possible to take a full-time job in the city. Jobs are hard to come by these days, and retrenchments happen, or you might want to spend more time with the children rather than wasting it in rush hour traffic at peak times every day. That's when the idea of getting out of the rat race might seem appealing.
However, staying at home without a paycheck only doesn't cut it either, so the concept of working from home becomes more and more attractive. But it's not always an easy thing to do. There are lots of pros, but there are several cons as well, the biggest one being in setting your priorities and adopting the right attitude.
Setting Yourself Up for Working from Home
- It's still a job: Failing to take the job seriously can ultimately make the difference between success and failure for your venture. Work is work wherever you do it, and if you're unable to view your work in the same way as you would if you were doing it outside your home, it's not likely anyone else will see it that way either.Never think of it as just "something to keep you busy." If you do, that is all your work will ever be – a part-time occupation. Convince yourself, and then the others in your home – your spouse, partner, children, friends, and even the pets if necessary – that you mean business, and that is what it will become: your own business.
- Set up office: Find a set place to work. If you aren't lucky enough to have a spare room to make into your office, at least find a corner of a room which you can devote to your workspace. Try to define it in some way, with a rug if necessary, to remind yourself every day that when you step on that rug or enter the room, you are going to work.
- Finding direction: Your choice is to find a job or to create one for yourself. There are jobs available. There's telecommuting, where constant communication with a real office, and occasional trips to it, are required. Then there's online work of various sorts, our blog post, Legitimate Ways Moms Make Money Online, will give you lots of ideas.If none seem right for you, it's time to put on your thinking cap. Ask yourself these questions: What are you trained to do? What are you good at, and what are you passionate about doing? Turn a hobby into a business, resurrect old skills and start looking for gaps in the market. Then research markets and marketing, packaging, and methods of distribution.
- Tools of the trade: In almost any business these days you're going to need internet access and a computer sound system, whether it's your single work tool for online work or a marketing tool for goods you're busy making at home. Don't skimp on the quality of the equipment or internet access. Time off-line could cost you money, and you don't have an IT department at home to do any quick repairs.
If you're manufacturing or creating, make sure you have the tools you need to do that.
- The administration side of things: Speak to an accountant regarding setting up bookkeeping systems, and get a handle on stuff like tax deductibles, business registration requirements and so on. It'll make it easier for you when it's time to submit your tax return.
5 Tips on Keeping Sane While Working from Home
Once the logistics are in place, it's a matter of trying to keep both you and your business running efficiently. Distractions and procrastinations are the pitfalls of many home enterprises, so be conscious of all the ways they can jeopardize your productivity and your business.
1. Get Dressed
Like having a designated office or work area, getting out of bed and getting dressed is likely to remind you that you are running a business. Going through the routine, you would adopt for an office job is worth the effort. You don't need to go to the same extremes, and comfortable clothes are fine – it's just better not to still be in your pajamas when it's time to get back into them.
2. Draw Up a Work Schedule
You have the freedom at home to develop a schedule that suits you, and it may not necessarily be the usual 9 to 5. You might find that late evening offers you the most productive time, or decide that mornings are best.
However, a regular schedule will help to keep you focused and on the job, and make it easier to avoid distractions that could lead you off at a tangent. Be sure to include a knock-off time in your schedule, too, or you'll find yourself exhausted because you never get to switch out of work mode.
3. Keep Your Job Separate
If you were working at a traditional job, you would not be able to turn up late because you suddenly noticed the washing hadn't been done, or the kids wanted your attention. You can't do that at home either unless you really aren't committed to making a success of your job.
Treat the household chores and childcare needs as you would if you were going out to work: organize childcare where necessary, schedule housework for after or before your "office hours" and negotiate a fair division of chores between all family members. Let your friends know you'd love to see them and enjoy a cup of coffee, but not during your working hours – they wouldn't just pop by at a "real" office, would they?
4. Avoid Isolation
At the same time, avoid becoming isolated. This can be the death-knell of creativity and productivity. It's hard to come up with new ideas or systems when you can't brainstorm or bounce ideas off anyone. Make a point of setting up ways of chatting online with other home-workers in a similar field. Change the scenery now and again by taking your laptop out onto the deck, or head out for coffee and do some work while in a public environment.
5. Get Up and Get Out
Avoid sitting at the computer for hours: Your back, neck, and eyes will end up taking the strain. Be sure to get up and walk around every hour or so and focus your eyes by looking into the distance for a while.
Exercise is also important to avoid the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle, so take a good long walk now and then, work in your garden for a while, play with the kids, or do some yoga to relax.
Working from home has many advantages – the overheads are low without transport costs to get to work, you don't waste time on commuting and don't have to go to the expense of keeping your work wardrobe up to date. You have more time at home with your children, and you are your own boss.

Hey Doc,
I proposed to Eva and a month afterwards we found out that she was pregnant, so we pushed the wedding day ahead. We got married two months later because I have great medical insurance through work and it covers everything for pregnancy. Two months later Eva lost the desire for intimacy. I figured it was just pregnancy hormones, but she kept pushing me away. A few times I accused her of not loving me anymore but she would get highly agitated so I let the issue go.
Two months later, Eva told me that she loved me, but that she wasn't in love with me. I asked if she wanted to go to marriage counseling, and she said it would be best to just wait it out because her problem was probably just hormones. So we carried on.
Now the baby is almost seven weeks old and things haven't gotten any better. We also have money issues because Eva only works part time. She wants to get a different apartment because ours is too small, and I agree with her. But I just can't afford anything else right now. Complicating matters is that Eva lives an hour away from her parents and wants to be closer to them. This isn't an ideal situation because of my job, which would be very difficult to replace. I told Eva that we could meet in the middle of this issue and move just a little closer to her parents. So far, no answer from her.
Doc, it just kills me living in the same house and sleeping in the same bed as Eva when I feel like we are a thousand miles away from each other. As a matter of fact, it feels like we are nothing more than roommates. We don't talk. Her head is always lost in the TV or she's on Facebook. Eva is not cheating, by the way. I went through her Facebook page and messages and didn't see anything fishy. It just seems like I can't do anything to please her anymore. It seems the harder I try the more I push her away. I don't want to give up on my marriage, but it's tough to love someone who doesn't love you back. Is there a way to save this marriage?
Laszlo - who is just about to give up
How do you approach women? That's day 2 of my 7-day dating course and it's better known as my FREE 7-day dating course so go get it RIGHT NOW
Sick and tired of not knowing what is going on with women? I drop the knowledge on you FREE - all you have to do is click GIVE ME MY COURSE below
I may have been able to find her, but I never would have been able to KEEP her without you, Jeff, and the "System."
Hi Laszlo:
When you say that Eva lost the desire for intimacy, it means that HER INTEREST LEVEL DROPPED BELOW 50%. Since you don't have "The System," you don't know what I'm talking about, but this is how it works: when a woman's interest is 51% to 100%, it's positive, but when it's 49% or less, it's a disaster and you're in desperate trouble. This is what your problem is. You went out with Eva, you got her to fall in love with you, but like most American males, you didn't know how to keep her in love with you. So this is not a matter of "hormones," it's a matter of Interest Level, which you know nothing about.
You're not handling your problems with Eva correctly. Instead of accusing her of anything, you should be withdrawing, and trying to rebuild your relationship. Hopefully her interest is still 51% to 55% and you can save it. I recommend that you get my book overnighted to you ASAP and don't show it to Eva. Hopefully her interest is no lower than 51%, and you can coax it back up.
So, Eva told you that she wasn't in love with you. Like my cousin Fast Eddie Love from East L.A. says, "I'd rather have a girl tell me that she hates my guts but that she's still in love with me." Dude, the second reason Eva doesn't love you is hormones – the FIRST reason is low Interest Level.
The stupidest thing in the world for you to do right now would be to move. You have to get Eva to help you out financially, and you have to memorize my book and hopefully you can turn this thing around. And let me get this straight. Eva wants to be closer to her parents, but she doesn't want to be closer to you? What does that tell you, pal? You cannot move to another place until this woman falls in love with you or you divorce her!
It's no surprise whatsoever that Eva wants no part of compromising with you. When a woman has no Interest Level in you, she becomes very STRUCTURED. No matter what idea you come up with, she's going to hold you off.
Guy, you are a thousand miles away from Eva. She became your sister as soon as her Interest Level dropped from 51% to 49%. Whether she's cheating on you or not is a non-issue. Like my cousin Rabbi Love says, "The problem isn't some other guy, my son – the problem is you." You snagged Eva, but you didn't know how to keep her because you don't have my book.
You can't do anything to please Eva, Laszlo. To you Psych majors, when the woman's interest goes south, everything you do is wrong. If you said that two and two were four, she would swear you were lying.
So, as I mentioned earlier, what you have to do now is withdraw. Give Eva respect, but no touching, no displays of affection, no intimacy. Keep it light and funny. And stay at your job and be a good father to your child. Hopefully, with time, Eva will come around. But from what you've described to me, it's way, way too late already.
What "The System" says is that the longer you wait to become physically intimate, the better. In your case, Laszlo, you didn't wait, and now you're paying dearly for it. But now there's another person involved, and it's the most important person on the face of the planet – your baby. So get "The System" ASAP and hope for the best.
Remember, guys: when her interest drops below 50%, you're finished.
Don't be shy - LET'S TALK BELOW!

It's shaping up to be a long week for the jurors in Casey Anthony's murder trial. Yesterday, judge Belvin Perry, Jr. kept court in session until 7 pm after delays over the weekend slowed the trial's progress. But today, they were treated with first hand information about how Caylee Anthony's body was discovered.
Anthony's defense lawyers played a tape for the jury that showed private detectives searching the area where Caylee's body was eventually found. In the video, which was shot weeks before Caylee's body was discovered, men in suit pants and button-down shirts tromp around the woods, examining garbage and poking towels into the ground. Jose Baez is trying to establish that Caylee's body was not in the area just weeks prior to its discovery, which fits with the defense theory that Caylee drowned and Casey's father, George, dumped the body months later.
(LIST: 25 Crimes of the Century)
When the trial opened this morning, Baez grilled George about his relationship with Krystal Holloway (aka River Cruz), a woman who volunteered to help find Caylee when the toddler went missing and with whom George reportedly had a romantic affair. Baez asked George if he had ever told Holloway that Caylee's death was an accident that "spiraled out of control." George denied making this statement and repeatedly referred to Holloway as a friend, one of many people that he "needed in his life." Baez also called Casey's mother, Cindy, and her brother Lee to the stand to ask questions about the search for the missing toddler.
The defense then called Roy Kronk, the Orange County meter ready who found Caylee's body, to the stand. Baez has previously insinuated that Kronk "is a morally bankrupt individual who actually took Caylee's body and hid her," before "discovering" the body in hopes of receiving an award.
(MORE: Why the Forensic Evidence May Not Be Enough to Convict Casey Anthony)
Anthony's lawyers first asked Kronk about his interest in the case. He testified that his roommate regularly watched news reports about Caylee being missing, but that they rarely discussed the case. They then questioned him about the day that he discovered what he thought was a skull and reported the finding to the police. Kronk was relieving himself in the woods (the lawyers seemed very uncomfortable addressing this issues, saying, "You were taking a you-know-what") when he saw something white and called the non-emergency police hotline. The testimony was more dramatic than most have been in this trial, with Kronk appearing frustrated and asking the lawyers several times, "Which day are you referring to?"
By the time Judge Perry called a break for lunch, Anthony's defense was still in the middle of questioning Kronk, and so far his testimony has shown little new light on the defense's theories. The trial will continue at 1:30 pm Eastern.

I visited the Salvatorian Abbey of Steinfeld by mistake.
After the Abbey of Maria Laach, I wanted to visit the Benedictine monastery in that town because just at that time, I read in "Secret Wisdom", by Ruth Clydesdale that the motto of the German Alchemist Heinrich Khunrath "Ora et labora"/"Pray and work"/"Pray and labor" is actually the motto of the
Benedictines. Yet arriving in Steinfeld, I directly landed in the Salvatorian monastery, where I found another mystic and much beauty.
What I will start with is that in 1960 the abbey church was raised to Basilica minor due to its beauty and its long history. No, my blog isn't exclusively about the temples of this rank. I land in them by chance. But if there is a place where the answers to some mysteries or to the mystery of life in general could be searched, that would be the religious buildings (in the view of the fabricated Christianity), and maybe the buildings of the nobility too (because these two institutions – of the spiritual and of the secular power have always functioned hand in hand.)
Here in that place, there was a church as early as the beginning of the 10th century, but the monastic life began in 1107 with the Augustinians. In 1120, the property was taken over by the Premonstratensians/Norbertines who remained until 1803. From 1923 onwards, here live the Salvatorians.
The head portal and the Prelacy with the sundial in front.
The church was built between 1142 and 1150, and was dedicated to Saint Potentinus and his two sons, Felicius and Simplicius – they all are saints with telling names (hmm, I get wind of another Christian personification, like St. Lucy/Lucia – the personification of Light.)
The church has never been demolished, that's why it has gathered a great number of architectural styles – Romanesque architecture with Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and modern interior.
The Baroque high altar, 4 side altars, and the pulpit date from the end of the 17th century.
The Baroque organ is world-renowned, and it is the only one of its kind.
In the middle of the church stands the Baroque sarcophagus of the Mystic-Saint Hermann Joseph from 1702. Hermann Joseph lived between 1150 and 1250 and was Premonstratensian canon regular. The story that was told about him is that he once offered apples to a statue of Mary in one Cologne church. That's why he is also called the Apple Saint, and in recent times, pilgrims bring apples to his tomb as a tradition – as we can see that in the photographs too. Hermann was a mystical poet who had led a life in the service of Mary (like Bernard of Clairvaux). He was informally declared saint immediately after his death but was officially recognized by the Pope as late as the year 1960.
The Renaissance decorations date from the beginning of the 16th century.

Untitled (remodel) is a reinterpretation of Carl Stone's untitled performance at the Vanguard Gallery (October 14, 1980) by Yann Novak and Simon Whetham.
Daytime sounds on Rinconia Drive
Nighttime sounds on Rinconia Drive
Traffic sounds on Broadway and 2nd Street
Audience sounds at the Vanguard Gallery
Room Resonances
were mixed and processed
in frequency, in time, and in space.
-Carl Stone, October 14, 1980
For their reinterpretation Novak retraced Stone's original sound recordings by making similar recordings during the daytime and evening on Rinconia Drive and traffic sounds on Broadway and 2nd Street. These recordings were then digitally altered and incorporated into the performance.
Whetham used radio transmissions to explore the room resonances and vocalization aspects of Stone's performance. He recorded both shortwave and fm signals in various locations in the room to exploit the various reflections and qualities of the space.
Whetham also incorporated the radio itself in the performance, tuning to random frequencies and moving throughout the space to add an unpredictability to the performance that both artists were forced to respond to.
Untitled (remodel) was performed in Storefront Plaza by Nate Page. A unique intervention to Machine Project that relocates the storefront 20ft into the gallery space and transforms it into an indoor/outdoor alcove.
This project was presented as part of the Spirit Resurrection festival, commissioned by LACE as part of Los Angeles goes live.

What if I told you that you are able to catch more fish by making less casts? That you could get more strikes using the same lures and techniques as before, but with less casting effort.
You would probably say it's impossible, that there has to be a catch. Well, fortunately there's no catch, it's just adding a small amount of focus and understanding to your fishing. So let's see what this whole thing is about.
I truly believe that the power and success of a good fisherman lies in his ability to remain focused over a long period of time. This is something I realized after participating at quite a few competitions and fishing events, where I met very talented and skilled fishermen.
If you really want to get the most out of a cast, you have to cast to the place with the biggest probability of holding fish. And not just cast towards that place, cast exactly in that spot, so the fish has to make the smallest effort to grab your lure. This means that in order to have a perfect presentation of the lure, you have to focus on a perfect cast, maybe wait a little or change place until your direction is right. It only takes 6 steps to lead you to that perfect cast.
1. Localization
Or the famous saying:"Think like a fish". This means understanding where the fish are in that time of the year, on that specific water, in that exact moment of the day. You usually find out all of these things by making small experiments. After catching your first fish, you will start getting a clue of where the fish are hiding.
I always go fishing with a plan in mind. The thing is that most of the times, this strategy changes based on the feedback I get from the fish. It's hard to pick the winning solution from your home couch. So get on the water and start testing.
2. Think in advance
At the end of each cast, locate the spot for the next cast. Just before you finish your cast, find the next spot that has a big probability of holding fish. This also implies to wait a little bit, if you don't find a hot spot right away. Do not hurry. Fish calmly and set your own pace.
3. Find the best place from where you can make that perfect cast
When you actually locate the next "best spot" try to get the best position for a natural and tempting presentation.
If you fish from shore, maybe there are bushes, big rocks or other obstacles that stand between you and the spot where you think the fish are hiding. Try to move and find the best place for making the cast. Even if you're boat fishing there's always one position that will bring you a very precise cast. Wait until you get to that perfect angle. A bad cast from an uncomfortable position can spook the fish away. Especially the big and cautious ones.
4. Wait and focus.
Before making your cast, try to visualize it. Think about the trajectory of the lure for about 3 seconds. Have in mind a perfect landing of that lure, you want to get the word temptation written all over it.
5. Make the cast
Ok, it's finally time to cast the lure. Focus on having an elegant and silent landing, and depending on the lure type, focus on reaching the desired water dept, in case you're fishing with a sinking lure.
6. Imagine the underwater bait evolution
Try to visualize the evolution that your bait has underwater. This will become pretty easy if you follow the steps mentioned here. By focusing on underwater evolution you will actually give your bait a more natural swim. Try not to fish like a robot, using mechanical moves. Even though it may work sometimes, most of the times it doesn't. It's ok to be repetitive, but just try to add some spicy moves from time to time. It's usually when the strike happens.
Ok, so there you have it. The recipe for improving your casting abilities.
Maybe at the beginning this step process seams a little confusing, but I guarantee that with persistence you will start getting a much better fish response. This means having more strikes…and more fun:).
Soon it will all become habitual and easy. In the end it's all about practice, and then with less physical effort (less casts – more focus and concentration) it will significantly increase the number of fish you catch.
No I suggest you run to the nearest water and try it out! Cause that's exactly what I'm about to do.

Hey Genesis, you like free stuff right? Well then keep reading. 😉
Hundreds of you voted on the best cover, and there was a clear winner. Here is a link to the winner, so congratulations to Maeryll Cugtas. Your cover will be the official cover of the book. Check out the link below to see the picture (it's seriously SWEET!).
And just as a random side note. Some of the covers in the cover contest were submitted by my publishing company. However the majority of the covers done by you guys, had more votes than the ones created by the professional graphic artists.
So yah… you guys are not only awesome friends but also awesome artists! And I am going to reward you for it!
I've created something awesome for you guys.
When the Great Smog blanketed London, Serena's fate takes a sudden turn. She is left alone when her parents met their untimely death and set to be married to her highest bidder, Mr. George Dungworth, a repulsive, forty-year-old goldmine.
Cooped up for days and itching for a run, she ventures into the woods and there—at the edge of the forest, amidst the sea of fog— she sees the image of perfection that would change her life forever.
The man from the woods. Lazarus Chevalier is neither human nor a werewolf. No, he is more than that. He is a lycan and he wanted her.
It's on Amazon for free this week and this week only (it will be free until the February 15)! So go get it right now:
However I know a lot of you might be reading this post after February 15, and I want to make sure that I am taking care of you (you guys are so awesome to me I just need to be equally awesome back!). But my publisher can't sell the book for free after the February 15 because of Amazon. So instead I will give you the book for free if you sign up on my blog, after the February 15.
So go sign up on my blog right now! I am going to be giving away some other free goodies from it very soon as well.
And if you are impatient (I also am an impatient reader, hehe), then go get the Serena and Lazarus: A Catching Genesis Bonus Chapter, on Amazon right now!
I will see you in the next post fellow readers!

Tax fairness. It's been on many a Canadian's lips since Bill Morneau two-left-footed his way to announcing a listening tour across Canada, for his tax reform proposals on Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPC).
A tour that ran head long into a Blitzkrieg. From Andrew Scheer's gleeful Conservative Party, to Ontario doctors seemingly ready for any fight, including amongst themselves, to lawyers, accountants, small farmers, and left-leaning voters accustomed to spitting out Trudeau's name, the pile-on was sizeable and surgical.
And, for the most part, false. Yes, THAT false. Continue reading Blitzkrieg on Tax Reform

Eskay proceeds with LOI with Silver Standard to option up to a 60% interest in part of SIB property
Mr. Mac Balkam reports:
Further to its press release dated Jan. 26, 2017, St Andrew Goldfields Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd., which holds a 20-per-cent undivided interest the SIB property, has waived its right of first refusal and Eskay Mining Corp. will proceed to negotiate the terms of a formal agreement for the option of up to a 60-per-cent undivided interest in part of the SIB property to Silver Standard Resources Inc., the senior mining company referred to in the Jan. 26, 2017, press release.
The part of the SIB Property subject to the Option consists of 30 mining claims representing approximately 4823 ha or approximately 10% of the SIB Property land package (the "Optioned Property"). Eskay holds an 80% undivided interest in the SIB Property pursuant to a joint venture agreement (the "JVAgr") with St Andrew. The remainder of the SIB Property will remain subject to the terms of the JVAgr between Eskay and St Andrew.
The Optionee can earn a 51% undivided interest in the Optioned Property by completing a $300,000 private placement into Eskay at $0.20 per share, subject to the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), and expending $11.7 million on the Optioned Property over three years ($3.7 million in the first year and $4 million in each of the second and third years of the Option). In the event that the price of gold does not meet certain thresholds in any option year, the Optionee has the right to reduce minimum expenditures to $2 million in such option year and the term of the Option will be extended for a further year, subject to the requirement by the Optionee to spend at least $10 million in the first three years of the Option (in accordance with the terms of the JVAgr). Once a 51% undivided interest is earned, the Optionee can either proceed to form a joint venture (with the Optionee holding 51%, Eskay holding 29% and St Andrew holding 20% (assuming they contribute their pro rata share of expenditures on the Optioned Property)) or exercise a second option to earn a further 9% undivided interest in the Optioned Property for an aggregate 60% undivided interest (with the Optionee holding 60%, Eskay holding 20% and St Andrew holding 20% (assuming they contribute their pro rata share of expenditures on the Optioned Property)) by either delivering a Preliminary Economic Assessment or completing 23,000 m of diamond drilling on the Optioned Property. Eskay has a carried interest during the Option term but St Andrew must either contribute its pro rata share of expenditures or be diluted. If St Andrew is diluted to a 10% or less interest in the Optioned Property, it will be converted to a holder of a 2% net smelter returns royalty in the Optioned Property. Once a joint venture is formed, Eskay will be carried (the "Eskay Financing") for any joint venture expenditures in respect of the Optioned Property it would otherwise be required to make until the earlier of a production decision by the Technical Committee or an aggregate of $10 million in expenditures has been made on its behalf (for example, if Eskay held a 20% undivided interest in the Optioned Property on the formation of the joint venture, it would not be required to fund its 20% undivided interest until an aggregate of a further $50 million had been spent on the Optioned Property). The Eskay Financing, with interest, is repayable by Eskay out of 100% of Eskay's free cash flow from production of the Optioned Property.
The Option is subject to a number of conditions including certain technical amendments being made to the JVAgr, the grant of certain rights of first refusal to the Optionee, the execution of a formal Option Agreement, TSXV approval and such other conditions as are usual for a transaction of this nature.
For further information regarding the SIB Property, see the companies press releases of October 17, 2016, August 8, 2016, May 9, 2016 and January 23, 2013.

Dr. Rajan Sankaran
Dr. Rajan Sankaran,
M.D. (Hom), F.S. Hom (UK) is an internationally renowned thinker, teacher and
writer of the Homoeopathic system of medicine.
He is reputed to be a clear and original thinker and is best known for his path breaking concepts in homoeopathy.
His concept of understanding disease as a delusion and then further delving into unravelling the essential and most fundamental experience of a patient, the 'vital sensation' has been a novel insight in perceiving illness. This method of unravelling this core experience of the patient; commonly known as the Sensation Method has resulted in a far greater predictability of results than ever before.
Dr. Rajan Sankaran heads the other song - International Academy of Advanced Homoeopathy - Mumbai, a centre for clinical training, treating and research in advanced homoeopathy.
Dr. Paresh Vasani

Treating thousands of patients in India and abroad has given him great insights into Homoeopathy. He is well known for his supervision in cases thus helping other Homoeopaths to reach deeper levels of prescriptions.
Clarity in concepts and simplicity in teaching has earned him the regards of his students in various parts of India and many countries world over like USA, Israel, South-Korea, Japan, Romania, Poland, Germany, Egypt etc. Today he is a visiting professor in many schools of Homoeopathy abroad.
Teaching since many years has given him in-depth experience of the difficulties faced by Homoeopaths in their practice. To help them understand the method, to make them independent in thinking process, he has developed a unique software VitalQuest based on Dr Rajan Sankarans teachings. He says, "Developing VitalQuest helps me understand finer aspects of the method which are necessary to reproduce better results". Today, VitalQuest has earned a reputation as a must tool for practitioners of the Sensation method.
In ever expanding world of Homoeopathy, there is an immense need to integrate new developments with the traditional work. Working in that direction, he is a co-author of Reliable repertory and Sensation Repertory

But can he do the Argentine tango? We might soon find out as the Seahawks quarterback told Access Hollywood he "definitely" has plans on joining the cast of ABC's hit show "Dancing With the Stars" sometime in the future. Wilson said in the interview that he has been invited to be on the show after each of his two seasons in the NFL. "I'm going to do it," he told Access Hollywood. "At some point, I'm going to definitely do it. I love 'Dancing with the Stars.' I love watching, and I love dancing myself, so hopefully, I could win it." So when might that be? "Who knows?" he told the show. "I need to focus on my football career right now. It's one of those things where I'm trying to do as much as I can winning football games for the Seattle Seahawks and our franchise, but I will do it at some point, for sure." Comments

I've been watching a lot of "The Munsters" recently for my other blog, and although I have several ideas for top ten lists based on the classic TV show, there haven't been ten Marilyn Munsters yet. Thus, instead of ranking them myself, I thought I'd give you the chance to vote on who was the hottest Marilyn Munster of all time.
I don't really like blondes, and I barely ever registered the Marilyn character, so I don't have any opinion about this subject at all. It's just a bit of fun. Cast your vote in the comments section below.
Beverley Owen (1964)
The first Marilyn Munster. She appeared in the pilot and the first 14 episodes of Season One.
Pat Priest (1964-1966)
The second Marilyn who continued until the end of Season Two.
Debbie Watson (1966)
From the theatrical movie "Munster, Go Home".
Jo McDonnell (1981)
From the TV movie "The Munsters' Revenge".
Mary-Ellen Dunbar (1988)
From "The Munsters Today" pilot.
Hilary Van Dyke (1988-1991)
Marilyn in "The Munsters Today" TV series which nobody ever watched more than a couple of episodes of before hating it. How this crap lasted for three seasons when the original series only had two is a complete mystery.
Christine Taylor (1995)
I've never seen the "Here Come the Munsters" TV movie and don't intend to.
Elaine Hendrix (1996)
From "The Munsters' Scary Little Christmas". Another TV movie which I didn't know even existed.
Charity Wakefield (2012)
And, finally, the new Marilyn from last year's terrible "Mockingbird Lane" reboot which, unfortunately, I have seen.
Who's your favourite Marilyn?

Watch the 30-minute doc about post-Katrina New Orleans.
10 years after Hurricane Katrina, the costliest natural disaster in the history of the United States, New Orleans is still on the mend. NOLA-bred G-Unit rapper Kidd Kidd teamed up with RLLNR to produce documentary "New Warleans: Katrina 10 Years Later," heading far from the French Quarter to investigate how the hurricane impacted and continues to impact the poorest parts of the city.
"My motivation for putting this together was one thing: the city itself, period," Kidd Kidd said about the documentary. "Even if Katrina wouldn't have happened, I still would've been putting this together. I want to use my voice to bring the issues going on to the forefront."
Shot and directed by Cam Kirk & Eddie Mensore, "New Warleans" follows Kidd Kidd as he talks to his barber, his mom, and former city councilman Oliver Thomas. "I chose everyday people to help get my point across–the people that most media can't get to, or that they don't care to reach—but these are the real representatives for what's going on," he said." "If this reaches the right people who are willing to help make changes—I'm willing to go down there myself with them and work on things, whether it's a donation or volunteering/community activism."

Writing Strands: Level 1 (Download)
In this brief but helpful manual, Writing Strands curriculum author Dave Marks offers general guidelines for the parents of small children on how they can instill a love for language. Developed from his own experiences teaching his son, Marks recommends a variety of engaging activities that families can easily work into their everyday routine.
This book covers inventive, entertaining ways to develop children's abilities with a range of essential language concepts, including letter sounds, rhyming words, and sentences.
- From the respected creators of the popular Writing Strands curriculum
- Emphasizes parent-tested games and activities the whole family will enjoy
Very different from the rest of the Writing Strands series, Writing Strands 1 is designed for families of children not yet writing. It has games, programs and projects to help young children understand that words are not just things to use to get what they want, but that they can have fun with them. It is a way to have a family demonstrate its value of language use, to present to children models of behavior, and to have all the members of the family help convince the youngest members that the family they are part of lives creating and sharing through language. It consists of a manual of games and projects and an audio CD of examples, made by the author and his son, of what can be done for and with very young children.
Scope and Sequence:
- Making Up Words
- Recognizing Sounds
- Being Sounds and Letters
- Creating Creatures
- Rhyming
- Finishing Sentences and Stories
- Expanding Sentences
- Drawing to Describe
- Describing

Choosing the right bathtub used to be between a few options but with the current styles and trends nowadays, choosing the right bathtub can be a nightmare weeding through all the details. Below are a few items to consider when remodeling your bathroom and selecting the perfect bathtub.
Types of Bathtubs
3-Wall Alcove
This bathtub is a standard option seen in most 5'x8' bathrooms. The bathtub is enclosed on three walls leaving the finished face front exposed. Only the front face is finished leaving the other sides exposed but covered once installed between the walls. This style can work in all bathrooms and be designed around the client's specific tastes.
This is yet another bathtub but it is more of a shell with all sides exposed. The drop in typically has a deck built around to enclose the unfinished sides. The deck use to be finished with ceramic or porcelain tiles; however, these days, if not switching to a freestanding bathtub, most decks have a more modern/contemporary look using sleek, flush panels as seen in the images below.
The undermount is basically the same concept as the drop-in; however, you do not have a lip that sits on top of the finished deck, rather it's below. Same concept as undermount sinks. This creates a more modern, seamless look if you decide to keep the deck.
Corner bathtubs are not as common for new construction with freestanding and undermount bathtubs trending. Most of these applications have the corner bathtub set in between windows with a deck surrounding the bathtub. Corner bathtubs can be cumbersome to get into and we typically redesign the space to utilize the area better. If you must go with a corner bathtub, try eliminating the deck and opt for a curved front face which gives it a more updated look and feel to the space.
Clawfoot bathtubs were the top demand freestanding bathtubs. These still have their place for those select style houses. Anything Vintage or Victorian will work but we also have new contemporary clawfoots that have a bit of flare to them. You will see clawfoot bathtubs in transitional style places as well that likes to combine the old with the new.
The most sought after option these days is a freestanding bathtub. If it is feasible possible to have a freestanding bathtub in your space, now is the time to do it. Not only is the market booming for this option, you have so many different styles and shapes to choose from. Master Bath spaces offer a great avenue to have one of these installed since they are typically larger than your standard bathroom. Freestanding bathtubs eliminate a large oversized deck and simplify the lines while creating elegance to the space.
Once your space is designed and you have the appropriate type of bathtub is chosen, you will then need to decide the type of material in addition to shape/style. Some clients also like to add on features such as air jets, whirl pool jets, massage/bubble jets, soakers, heaters, lights and much, much more. The design team at HSD work hand in hand with plumbing suppliers/vendors along with the client to ensure the perfect bathtub is selected for the client and their newly remodeled space.

Looks like HP will win 3Par prize
Word on the street is that 3Par is ready to be embraced by Hewlett-Packard. As the epic HP-vs-Dell bidding war stands, Dell has till today to counter HP's latest $30 per share bid for the cloud storage company.
Following the thread, it seems clear that 3Par management prefers (or preferred) Dell. The company accepted Dell's initial $18 per share bid. Fast forward, after HP upped its bid to $24, Dell came back with $24.30 which 3Par again accepted.
Some think Dell is a better home than HP–which fields a confusing array of storage offerings from StorageWorks to HDS to LeftHand Networks' iSCSI lineup and has struggled to pull all of that together into a cohesive lineup. Storage watchers say Dell, on the other hand, did a good job pulling EqualLogic into the fold. Of course, Dell's storage picture is also somewhat complicated by its alliance with EMC.
If 3Par ends up spurning Dell, it will have to cough up $72 million (up from the $53 million laid out in earlier offers.)
One reseller who is allied with HP and who has watched this drama unfold said Dell, when it upped HP's bid by a wan 30 cents blew it. "I laugh at that puny 30 cents," he said.
"Who at Dell forgot they were bidding against HP? If this was a poker game they just blew it," he said.

I have worked on this piece for many years and spent time revising it in the last 48 hours. I envision teachers of writing reading it to their students and using it as a mentor text to have them list ideas for narrative writing topics in their writer's notebooks.
The waning sun hangs patiently in twilight's last hour, casting a golden orange slow-glow on her bedroom wall.
To most eyes and ears, it has been an ordinary day – full of nothings and no matters. To her, it was a celebratory day. Perfect. Memorable. A string of small moments seared into her mind.
Would others have noticed what she had? No. It is unlikely. But she, as a young soul and writer, noticed more than most. You see, that's what writers and young people are supposed to do – they notice the small details in life that others do not, what others might take for granted. The small details that most completely miss because their feet move too quickly and their eyes and ears are simply, yet mournfully, closed.
She lays in that golden orange slow-glow of twilight and remembers…
Hearing her Mama's laughter in the morning – from the porch…loud, and with the occasional….snort. Laughter that makes you want to laugh out loud too, even if you missed what was just…so…funny.
Scooping up that ugly rock by the creek's edge – now resting lovingly amongst her most highly-regarded treasures on her bureau. A rock, her expert stone-seeking brother would have skipped right past. But no, it deserved attention. It had personality, like she. It told a story.
There was the vanilla scent caught, of a neighbor-lady strolling by, that flashed memories into her brain of her Nana, long gone, but always taking up a whole huge and gigantic part of the young girl's thoughts and heart.
A smile-to-yourself-moment, a surprising discovery actually, of a never-ever before seen guest to the birdhouse. A small, brownish gray mouse – its back feet grasping a slender branch, a twig really. Its tiny paws perched oh, so, daintily on the ledge, enjoying the seeds and sunshine, thankful to its feathered friends for a few moments of space and peace.
And lastly, yummily, there was the still lingering taste, the unforgettable taste, of "breakfast for dinner" – peanut butter banana chocolate chip pancakes – Daddy's specialty, cooked just for her and only for her.
As twilight's golden orange slow-glow has all but faded, the girl sends a wondering, a message really, into the darkening sky for all the children of the world to breathe in…for all those who are listening, really listening….
What will you notice this day and the next?
Sweet dreams, wonderful world.

Grand Bank, like most other smaller communities in this province, has always depended on the sea for its very existence.
From the days of small schooners and punts — powered only by the wind and sails — to the larger offshore banking schooners and then the wooden and steel trawlers, the men of that town have always looked to the nearby ocean to provide a livelihood.
Although fishing methods have changed, year-round fishing in the North Atlantic continues to be a hazardous occupation. Statistics kept from 1862 up to the present show that some 300 men on vessels sailing out of Grand Bank have lost their lives. It is very doubtful if any other small community of its size has suffered such a staggering loss of life to the sea.
The Bonavista Cold Storage fresh fish plant opened in Grand Bank in the early 1950s, just as the days of the wooden schooner deep-sea salt fishery were coming to an end.
The first two steel side-trawlers purchased by the company came from the United Kingdom and were designed for the North Sea fishery. It didn't take long before it became painfully obvious that these small 130-135 foot long vessels could not stand up to the ferocious winter storms of the North Atlantic.
Lying low in the water, they were susceptible to "icing up" as gale force winds whipped up heavy seas, sending tons of freezing salt water crashing over the trawlers on the fishing grounds or as they butted their way to and from port.
February was the month that brought the most grief to Grand Bank during the trawler era.
The first tragedy occurred Feb. 9, 1959, when the Blue Wave, captained by Charles Walters, went down with 16 men onboard. Walters had sent out an SOS at 4 a.m. saying that the trawler was over on her "beam's end." Just 15 minutes earlier the 34-year old skipper was talking with Capt. Bill Vardy of the Burgeo trawler Triton and told him the Blue Wave was taking on ice. He told Vardy the Wave would have to slow down or stop so that his men could get out on deck to beat off the ice. The Triton steamed to the position Walters gave but because of the blinding snowstorm and high winds nothing was sighted.
It was seven years later, on Feb. 18, 1966, a similar designed trawler from the BCS fleet, the Blue Mist, met the same fate in the Gulf of St. Lawrence; another victim of the savage wintry weather.
The Blue Mist, carrying a crew of 13 men and captained by 29-year old Stuart Price, radioed that they were fighting a severe storm and would probably be delayed in returning to Grand Bank with their 200,000 pounds of fish onboard.
The Blue Mist was never heard from again.
The loss of the 29 men on the two ill-fated trawlers resulted in 98 dependents – widows and children – being left to face a very uncertain future. All but two of the men lived in either Grand Bank or Fortune — 23 were from Grand Bank, four from Fortune and the other two were from Creston.
The two trawlers, in the words of the men who sailed on them, were not good sea boats and even in normal weather conditions at times would "go over on their beam's end" – lying completely on one side in the sea.
When that happened, the engine would have to be immediately stopped to allow the vessel to right itself.
If you add a savage North Atlantic winter storm, coupled with a build-up of tons of ice, to the mix, it would prove to be disastrous.
Although these tragedies happened six decades ago, emotions and painful memories still resurface every year, especially in February, and the pain and the loss carries into future generations.
Allan Stoodley lives in Grand Bank. He was working at the Bonavista Cold Storage fish plant in 1959 when the Blue Wave was lost and reported on the tragedy for the Evening Telegram. He also covered the sinking of the Blue Mist for the same newspaper.

PE and Sport Premium
PE and sport premium for primary schools
What is it?
The PE and Sports funding was introduced in September 2013 and is a sum of money given to schools by the Government, jointly funded by the Department of Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport. It is allocated to schools based on numbers of pupils aged 5-11 at the annual census in January.
What is it's purpose?
School PE and Sports funding is to improve the provision of Sport and PE.
How much do we receive?
For the period Sept 15 – Aug 16 the school received £4,500.
For the period Sept 16 - Aug 17 the school received £6,500.
What are we spending it on?
For many years our school has been part of the leadership of the Sports Special Partnership in North Yorkshire and we continue to engage in that by buying into the competitions package ensuring our pupils take part in inter school competitions and shared PE and Sports events. As a result of our extensive participation in PE and Sport The Dales School was first awarded the Sainsburys Silver Kite Mark in 13/14.
We offer regular after school sports clubs as well as running lunch time clubs.
Those pupils, who would benefit from it, take part in MOVE - Movement Opportunity via Education and the school ensures staff are skilled in this. The school was awarded the MOVE quality mark in Autumn 2015 (more information on website under Parents).
As school is skilling up staff, they are able to support PE and Sport for pupils in out of school and holiday clubs.
At the end of the academic year 2015-16 we said we would know if the School PE and Sports Funding has created improved provision if:
We have been able to offer opportunities for all pupils to participate in PE and sport both on school premises and off site – regardless of ability. The Dales School participated in a wide range of Sporting Events via the Sports Special Partnership, with cumulatively 119 students attending across the school year, from across the school's age range. This represents an average of more than two events per student. In addition to this, in July 2016 pupils took part in 'Midsummer MOVE Madness'.
School staff are kept up to date of events for their diaries, Risk Assessments completed and Evolve forms are submitted in a timely manner where possible. The School's participation in the Sports Special Partnership is further testament to this outcome being successfully met.
We have achieved the GOLD Kite Mark
The Dales School achieved the Gold Award in September 2016. The HLTA responsible for PE and Sport drove this application forward in collaboration with the lead for the Sports Special Partnership on behalf of the School.
At the end academic year 2016-2017 we said we would know if the School PE and Sports Funding has created improved provision if:
- Whole school MOVE training continues to run on a 2 year rolling plan to ensure all staff become MOVE practitioners - once trained and implementing MOVE principles a MOVE practitioner doesn't need to retrain so the rolling programme is to engage new staff or those who did not attend in the last round - the next MOVE training takes place Spring Term 2017.
- Our Sports/MOVE HLTA completes training to become a MOVE practitioner (2017) and then trainer in the next 2 year period. The current costings for MOVE trainer training is approximately £2000 and will need to be budgeted and accounted for in the next financial year. This will ensure succession planning for our current trainer provision. National MOVE event days are planned annually.
- We continue to offer suitable and meaningful sporting activities to all students, both on site and in the wider communities.
- We maintain the standards of our GOLD Kite Mark.
