Acquired by the Competition
Tyco International, Ltd., the same company that owns ADT, bought Brinks Home Security with plans to merge the two home security giants into one. The reason for the buyout was financial:
"Broadview's strong presence in the North American security market … will enhance ADT's financial performance and support our long-term growth in this large, fragmented and highly competitive industry," said Ed Breen, Chief Executive for Tyco.
Just how "enhanced" is that financial performance? Brinks Home Security was sold for $2 billion, netting Tyco International an additional $565 million in annual revenue.
The merger, completed in 2009, provided Tyco, a Switzerland-based company, with 30 percent of the market share of residential monitored security systems. However, this is not the extent of Tyco's business ventures.
Tyco International, Ltd. provides security in multiple markets:
- Banking
- Government
- Healthcare
- Oil and gas
- Transportation
- Retail
Is It Brinks or Broadview?
The Brink's name, although trusted for generations, was changed multiple times throughout the company's long and eventful history, with the latest change resulting from the rebranding effort of "Broadview Security" in 2009.
Originally founded in 1859, The Brink's City Express was the name Perry Brink used for his delivery company. He employed a horse-drawn wagon to securely deliver luggage from Chicago trains to hotels for weary passengers concerned for the safety of their personal items.
In 1934, after navigating the Great Depression with uncommon success, the name changed from Brink's City Express to become Brink's Incorporated, to commemorate 75 years in business. Between 1934 and 2002, the company weathered many changes, including several robberies, the loss of several key members, and the sale of company-owned interests.
Finally, in 2009, Brink's separated its home security division from the rest of the company, requiring a rebranding effort that familiarized potential clients with the new name of Broadview Security. According to Forbes, the price for the new name ran between $70 million to $120 million.
Monitored or Unmonitored?
The monitored system is provided by a professional company that monitors for multiple areas of concern (break-in, fire, medical emergency) while the unmonitored system leaves the main burden of security to the homeowner or renter.
Monitored systems provide professional 24-hour monitoring that will automatically contact emergency services for the homeowner in the event of a burglary, a fire, or a medical emergency. Unmonitored systems provide homeowners with remote access to the home but leave the burden of monitoring for an emergency with the homeowner or renter. Since emergency response times depend on the homeowner's/renter's reaction time, emergency responses may be slower, leading to damage or loss a professional company may have been able to avoid.
Monitored systems can also provide financial benefits such as discounts on homeowner's or renter's insurance while unmonitored systems do not provide little (if any) financial benefit.
The home security industries do well for one simple fact: people need the benefits of monitored home systems to help protect loved ones and valuables while they are away.
Looking for a reliable monitored home security system? The benefits of monitored systems over those of unmonitored systems can be invaluable in the event of an emergency. Contact Protect America to get a free quote.

Huh? Moments
Ever see things in the news that make you go: Huh? Grrrr… or Awwww? I sure do. One of the reasons I try to steer clear of the news these days is because I am ultra busy and don't have time to rant about the
Huh? And Grrrr… things. And the Awww... things are just too few and far between it seems.
But I decided to take a peek at the news this morning, and with that I did something I hadn't done in a while. Ever visited The Smoking Gun site? You should. It's a hoot for sure. They even have celebrity mug
shots for you to take a look at and go…HUH? Not a pretty sight. But the bits and pieces on The Smoking Gun will definitely catch your attention. I first learned about the website from a local rock music station. The two DJs constantly mention this site. And I have to admit it can be pretty entertaining. Although, the place is devoted to either obscure happenings or just plain ridiculous things. Not that famous people aren't featured on the site because they are. Which, of course, means they can do some pretty ridiculous things. So today I perused the place and read a few stories that made me go Huh?
1. Oklahoma City bomber, Terry Nichols, is apparently not satisfied that he's getting enough fiber in his diet while in prison, and he's taken it to court. Yep, I typed all of those words correctly. The federal court judge hearing the case, a woman, dismissed the lawsuit against the Bureau of Prisons. So Nichols is seeking to disqualify the judge from the case. On what grounds, you might ask? He claims that since she is a woman, her natural "mothering instincts" would make her prejudicial against him. And he says that would be a result of the nineteen children who died the day he decided to set that bomb off. And by the way, not only is this a HUH? But it's a GRRRR… too.
Another Huh?
2. Allegedly, a guy in Florida walks into a Wal-Mart (I'm telling ya, things just happen in Wal-Mart, and I'm scared to go there anymore.) He picks up a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and apparently thumbs through the pages and finds a pic to his liking. Then he takes personal matters literally into his hands and spills his pleasure onto the floor—then wipes his hand on a Star Wars light saber. Say it ain't so, LUKE! Definitely a HUH? moment in my reading morning.
3. Some gynecologist in California who performs hysterectomies in his office, (Sorry, where I live that's still done in a hospital.)is being sued as a result of the fact he cauterized/branded the patient's name on the removed uterus. He freely admits to doing this, according to The Smoking Gun, and sees nothing wrong with it, adding that it was a gesture of friendship. OOOOOO…K
4. Florida again. And there is a very talented cat living there. A man was sentenced to twelve years in prison this week after finally pleading no contest to 25 felony counts of child pornography. I say "finally" because initially the man had told police that his cat had downloaded the pics.
Is it just me or do you get the feeling we are all walking beside crazy people while we are out and about and just never know it? It's little tidbits like the above mentioned incidents that make me want to stay home. Or carry protection. If I rounded an aisle in Wal-Mart to find some dude playing with himself? He wouldn't have one left to play with—that light saber would come in real handy for sure. Just sayin'.
Happy Mischief Makin' Monday, everyone!

That's some crazy stuff, Tess. I've looked at The Smoking Gun before and it's NUTS. Speaking of WalMart...ever check out the People of WalMart pics? If that doesn't warn you off going to WalMart nothing else will. I can't believe people will go out in public looking that way! Boggles the mind.

I read the odd news at yahoo. The one that got me... wife cheats on her husband so he castrates himself with a knife (OUCH)to teach HER a lesson. Yeah.. brilliant!!! (NOT in the USA)
I usually avoid that stuff because I live in Southern Cali and you wouldn't believe the crap I see. One day about six months ago...no joke...I'm driving down the street and see Jesus (he looked just like him from the robes he wore to his long hair) with a big wooden cross tied on his back with ropes. He's literally walking down the sidewalk with this I'd guess 7 foot high cross...pulling a wagon with bags piled inside it (guessing they were his clothes) behind him. Sad thing is... it's not the weirdest thing I've ever seen. LOL.
- September 21, 2010 at 4:53 AM
- Tess MacKall said...
Holy...cut it right off, did he? Something was wrong with that man and I bet his wife had a reason to cheat, LD.
And Jesus. That brings back a memory. Oh God, I was a little girl and there was a man dressed just as you describe, with the huge cross, and belongings in a little wagon that was seen here in my area.
I've heard of similar sightings. So I guess it's someone who takes this upon themselves from time to time. Right now, we have some street preachers every evening standing out a main intersection with a PA system preaching against gay marriage and such.
The women are dressed in long skirts and long sleeved shirts. I keep wondering what would happen if some gay activists showed up in response. I kind of keep thinking that someone would get arrested. The police seem to leave these people alone, but I don't know, I just get the feeling that if anyone showed up to preach the opposing viewpoint, that suddenly what they were doing would become somehow illegal.

I have been to that site and you're right. Before you know it you've blown an hour.

Our producers
We get to know our producers individually because they are at the heart of our business. We walk their fields with them, learn how they farm, find out what makes their business work and the challenges they face. Our aim is to open up the wider world to our producers so that they can trade on an equal footing with larger businesses and share in Africa's success.
We'd like to introduce you to a few of the people who grow our produce…
Avocado grower, Kenya
Thomas farms a plot of land north of Nairobi that he inherited from his parents in 2007. The land was derelict when he took it over, so he cleared it himself and began planting avocado trees that same year. He now has 100 avocado trees and is managing and maintaining them as they grow to maturity.
Thomas's neighbours mostly grow avocados too, so they swap labour – especially at harvest time – and share skills and knowledge. Everyone also grows produce for home consumption such as brassicas, passion fruit, bananas and papaya, and keeps cows, goats and chickens.
Kenya's two rainy seasons mean that Thomas harvests two crops a year from his avocado trees. As his trees mature, his yield is growing and last year he harvested about 100 tonnes.
Skilful pruning is the key to success with avocado growing: Thomas prunes in order to stimulate his trees to flower, to control the size of the fruit, and to maintain the trees at a size which enables him to harvest easily. Unpruned, an avocado tree will grow to 20 metres tall!
Thomas fertilises his trees with manure, and keeps them pest-free. At harvest, he cuts the fruit from the tree leaving a short stalk, as this delays ripening and ensures that the fruit reaches market in a perfect condition.
Hot pepper grower, Uganda
Maureen, her husband and six children grow hot peppers on their three acre farm in Ishaka Mbarara district. Their farm is hilly, so the family mulches to keep the soil moist and prevent soil erosion. The children are involved in the whole process of growing, from the nursery bed to transplanting, weeding and finally harvesting, though when they are at school, the family hires in labour. Though this is expensive, the children's education is extremely important to the family – selling chillis pays their school fees.
Ahmed & Resty
Hot pepper growers, Uganda
Husband and wife, Ahmed and Resty, rent a small farm in Gayaza Wakiso district where they grow hot peppers. Their six children are too young to help out on the farm so Ahmed and Resty work along hired labour, harvesting 720 kg per acre. Their land is flat, and they mulch it in the rainy season so that the soil doesn't dry out in the dry season. One of their biggest challenges is the insecurity of being tenants, so they're looking forward to earning enough to buy their own land.

The desire to lead a full, independent, and dignified life is no less important when a person transitions into the older adult stage. With this in mind, the senior home care services industry has expanded in order to offer services that will enrich a person's life with personalized in-home care.
These services may fall into several categories: personal care, companion, and home maker services. Selecting an in-home care provider requires investigating the credentials of the agency. Make sure that each service provider is screened, trained and insured to provide responsible care that your loved one needs. You may find that many of these providers work in this industry as a result of having a loved one in need of this type of service.
Personal Care Services
The scope of personal senior home care services rely on the need of the individual. The services may include bathing, which is an essential aspect to how well a person may feel. Staying active is vital to the mental and physical well-being of an older adult. Your loved one may require daily activities which consider his or her physical limitations. In-home service providers can also work with family members and health care professionals to provide meal planning and preparation for those who have special diets.
Companion Services
To be able to have someone to talk to can go a long way towards enhancing the quality of life for many older adults. Senior home care services which focus on providing companionship for a certain number of hours each day, or several days in the week may be all that a person requires. These may include running errands, grocery shopping, conversation, respite for family members, and medication reminders. Your loved one will enjoy having freedom, control and the satisfaction of being in familiar surroundings that does not exist in a nursing home.
Homemaker Services
Homemaker services are very similar to those provided through personal care and companion services. Receiving senior home care services with this option delays the need for a person receiving care in a nursing home facility, and allows people who have been in the hospital to return to their homes. These services can be limited, depending on personal income and other resources. Basic household assistance may include light housekeeping and light meal preparation (unlike the specialized meal plan and cooking with personal care).
The one drawback to a person receiving in-home care is the financial hurdles that still exist. Most insurance plans do not cover the costs of home based services if no medical condition has been diagnosed.
Senior home care is a growing concern for many people and it can be difficult. However, their are many resources online about senior care including my other article about senior home care services and faculty based care

GEMMA Collins has pulled out of a club appearance after contracting cystitis.
The Towie star had to cancel an appearance at a nightclub in Sheffield after being ordered to bed by her doctor after coming down with the water infection.
She posted an Instagram video from an event earlier in the evening.
Alongside the video of her walking away from switching on Freeport's Christmas lights, Gemma wrote: "Lovely to meet you all this evening was a blast but sadly I won't be making Sheffield tonight.
"I didn't want to let anyone down doctors orders bed and rest for me I have a water infection guys I'm so sorry I don't want to let anyone down but I have to rest xxx love you all."
Gemma's fans flocked to share their disappointment.
One wrote: "Get well soon babe, was really looking forward to meeting you please come back when you're better!"
Another added: "I hope you feel better soon. Get plenty of rest. Your true fans will be wishing you well and not mind you missing it. Your health is what's important."
Later Gemma posted a video of her wrapped up warmly in a dressing gown.
She said: "I just wanted to say I'm really sorry I can't make Sheffield tonight, I so would love to be there but doctors orders are to stay in bed.
"I've got a water infection so I'm not feeling that great and didn't want to let anyone down at Freeport tonight, I know there was a lot of young children there.
"I'm not well but I'll be back soon. I love you all dearly."
She also promised that as soon as her little problem has cleared up then the GC will be back with a meme-making vengeance.

Every year, nearly all of the top 75 ranked players in both the ATP Tour and WTA compete to win the glamorous BNP by Paribas Open title at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, in Indian Wells, California, as part of the annual Sunshine Double.
As the stage for the grandest non-Grand Slam event combining the ATP Tour and WTA gears up for another momentous edition on Monday, March 4, various tennis players have already confirmed attendance at the desert which kicks off the ATP Masters 1000's and WTA Premier Mandatory events—and, though 17-time major champion Rafael Nadal will initially commence the festivities during the first ever Eisenhower Cup presented by Masimo, a Tiebreak Tens event scheduled on Tuesday for benefiting Coachella Valley non-profits, the event will just be as striking as ever.

"You can't learn in school what the world is going to do next year" – Henry Ford
In the global investment strategy calendar there is only one period of time that can compare with the turn of the year in terms of importance… and that is the back to school period.I hope everyone enjoyed a good summer holiday. Certainly a well timed purchase of Turkish lira or Argentine peso may have transformed your holiday spending capabilities, but the really big foreign exchange trend during August was centred around the US dollar. We have talked before about a rampant dollar being a challenge for prospects for many financial markets, and August showed a clear manifestation of this. For example, the fall in broader pan-European indices during August nearly wiped out the prior year-to-date returns. Meanwhile, emerging markets went from relative performance heroes in July to bottom-of-the-pile 'zeros' during August. It certainly would not have been pleasant for anyone watching from a beach.
That is not to say that everything underperformed during August. A plethora of main US market highs and technology stocks – including European sector peers – also performed well, deepening further the outperformance of more traditional growth sectors versus more value centred ones. Thematically, the more trying times unsurprisingly also saw dividend heavy corporate names perform better than broader indices. However, these were slim pickings in the wider scheme of things.
So where do we go next? In last month's update we hoped that political leaders would not let the warm Northern Hemisphere temperatures get to their heads. The slightly better performance of the Pound during August was aided by a nudging up of interest rates and a resumption of Brexit talks. Appraising the latter, the occasional positive headline about some progress between the British government and the European Union showed that UK being once again at the bottom of the most recent global fund manager sentiment survey, is more of an opportunity than a threat for more UK domestic centred assets. Brexit remains a highly divisive issue, with many hurdles still to clamber over, but a compromise 'soft Brexit' deal still looks to be the most likely outcome.
Globally, the outlook for world trade remains the greatest concern, but at least bilaterally in North America, the United States and Mexico forged an agreement with the hope that a trilateral agreement with Canada will follow. To me this outcome reflects the building influence and proximity of the US midterm elections in early November, which threaten to clip the political flexibility of the current administration. For global markets, any budding entente cordiale between the United States and China would be deeply welcomed – and likely to lead to a notable outperformance of assets in the emerging markets and Europe. Despite the deep trade concerns apparent at the moment this is not an improbable outcome. Deep down, all global political leaders know that for anything other than a short time period, heightened trade barriers are an economic lose-lose.
Such a loss counts for double during an economic recession, naturally. Despite a slow shift up in interest rates and bond yields across many geographies during 2018, I remain relatively unmoved by the predictive power of the flattening yield curve in the United States, which some have highlighted as predicting economic gloom in the near future. There is still plenty of potential in the world – as evidenced by the still generally positive yield pick-up from owning equities compared to fixed income alternatives – especially if disruptive outcomes to the current world trade and Brexit debates can be avoided. As with all returning school children, it is time for global policymakers to knuckle down to some serious hard work again. Diplomacy classes, anyone?

We ran into Kevin Burton a couple of weeks ago at Web 2.0 as he was formulating a plan to raise money for his start-up, sans venture capital. The result is this PBS-like funding drive aimed at users.
"The real question is whether a startup can be funded solely by donations and ad sales. I'm not sure. It's an experiment I'd like to try. Right now we've made $80 in less than 24 hours which at this pace seems like it would be self sustaining."
Burton raised $300 through Sunday – probably not enough yet to shake the foundations of Sand Hill Road.

Just like cigarettes, tobacco e liquid flavours vary, our British Tobacco is a mellow tobacco flavour, a blend of pure bright virginia flavourings that reproduce the taste found in British cigarettes.
Our Traditional Tobacco E Liquid is a blend of both burley and virginia flavourings to give a great tobacco taste. With a more prominent taste of tobacco flavour that reproduces the taste of popular American cigarette brands.
This tobacco e liquid range is a 50 VG / 50 PG mix perfect for our series 1, series 2 and series 3 devices. Available in High (18mg), Medium (12mg) and Low (6mg).
All our E Liquid is manufactured here in the UK and is fully TPD Compliant, so you can rest assured you're getting a great flavour, coupled with a great vape.
Presenting the Aquavape Tobacco E Liquid Range
Aquavape is proud to present two great tasting tobacco flavour e liquid blends: the British Tobacco E Liquid and the Traditional Tobacco E Liquid.
The idea behind the creation of these e liquid tobacco profiles was to provide vapers with tobacco flavours that do their best to mimic the flavour, aroma and character of that authentic and classic taste of rich, robust British tobacco.
We know some people have a favourite flavour they swear by and not everyone wants their e liquid tobacco flavour tainted.
So, we sought to make it easy for you to stock up on your favourites by providing you with just two, albeit premium, options which take the confusion out of your selection.
These are big flavours that pack a punch, and it will feel like stepping back in time again; only this time, you are doing so without exposing yourself to the effects of burning tobacco.
Earthy and aromatic, tinged with innovative undertones, our tobacco e liquid blends are made to bring those cured tastes to life.
Aquavape Tobacco E Liquid UK Features
50:50 PG/VG blend ideal for both new and intermediate users
Compatible with all vaping devices, including Aquavape Series 1, 2 & 3 starter kits
Nicotine Strengths: 3, 6, 12, and 18 mg/mL
Designed to prevent 'vaper's tongue' with sophisticated flavouring blends
Available in 10ml bottles with a nozzle for fast and easier refilling
Aquavape e liquid tobacco is manufactured in the UK in partnership with a local flavouring house with more than 100 years in the game.
British Tobacco E Liquid
Our exclusive British Tobacco E Liquid serves as a gentle reminder of the subtleties that made us all love smoking.
The mild tobacco flavour is a blend of pure bright Virginia flavourings and works great as an all-day vape.
We also aimed to make it a pleasant everyday vape without any of that dry mouth feeling as some juices in the market, and one way we achieved this was by striking a balance of VG and PG in equal measure.
This is a perfect vape for anyone who's into e liquid tobacco or for those times when you want a change from the fruity blends which are tempting but sometimes leave you desiring something slightly 'normal'.
Traditional Tobacco E Liquid
This is a flavour for the purists.
The Aquavape Traditional Tobacco E Liquid captures the essential aroma, flavour and character of classic tobacco flavour to give you the experience of the world's best tobacco without the smoke.
This juice is a blend of Burley and Virginia flavourings which culminate in a perfect all-round tobacco taste which is solid yet smooth on the inhale.
The consistency of this juice makes for a perfect combination of throat hit and cloud production.
As with all other 50VG/50PG Aquavape e-liquids, it is created to maximise the life of your atomiser or tank.
Smart E-Juice Bottles
Aquavape's smart bottle is meant to provide you with an e-juice dispenser that is easy to use and cannot be broken.
Our tobacco flavour e liquid is available in a plastic, squeezable bottle with a pointed nozzle tip so you don't lose a single drop.
Many e-liquid companies dispense their product in glass bottles with a medicine dropper. But the downside to this type of bottle is two-pronged: you either risk dropping the bottle and breaking it or end up leaving some juice behind.
We've made refilling super convenient for you. All you need do is simply point the dropper tip into your tank and give it a squeeze to fill up.
Simple, fast and reliable!

Where are we? Booth #905, can't miss us, we have things that blink.
What are we talking about? How to improve availability and performance of your network and data center. It starts with monitoring, reporting, and alerting on massive amounts of performance data in seconds, not minutes or hours.
You want some swag? Don't we all? We're giving away T-Shirts, Boogie Bots, an iPad Air, and other fun stuff, every day. Stop by, we want to meet you.
See It – SevOne engineers are demoing SevOne and the 'Everything' it monitors. Get hands on with the software and ask questions of performance monitoring experts.
Watch This – Steve Mahoney's presentation on Tying SNMP to Log Analytics. It's Wednesday, May 21 at 1:30. Stop by after lunch!

Super Rugby is almost upon us. Can you handle it? It seems like yesterday that I was watching the Chiefs seal their second title. As a Stormers fan, 2013 was as frustrating a season as I've seen in awhile as the Capetonian outfit erred its way to a mid table 7th on the joint log and a disappointing 3rd within the SA Conference. As is the norm, the Stormers found themselves running onto the park in a fresh looking kit in 2013 and whilst it may have taken it's time to grow on me initially, by mid-season it was looking shit hot in my eyes. The trend – it would seem – is set to continue as another season brings about another jersey. This time, however, I am not convinced.
Rugby – as in most sports – is as much a mental test as it is a physical one. The frame of mind you enter a match will directly affect your performance during a match. With that in mind, it is important to make sure that you surround yourself with positive vibes, thoughts and actions prior to the match. Something as small as what you warm up in can make a difference in my opinion. Take, for instance, a new pair of Adidas Blades. You know they look good and certainly know that they look good on you. Because you know you look shit hot you begin to act and play like you're shit hot. Not that you weren't prior to the Blades but the mental stimulation you receive from looking and feeling good gives you the mental edge out there. It's like a team who plays in all white – or all black. They look like a professional unit even if they're only a school 2nd team and I can guarantee you that these teams start their matches with a mental one-up on their opposition because they know they look awesome. They can feel their opposition staring downfield at them with trepidation and this fuels them to be raise their games to another level.
The opposite is true regarding a team who has an average looking kit.
This brings me quite neatly – and rather promptly – to the new Stormers kit for the 2014 Super Rugby season. The Stormers kit – barring one shocking season back in the late 90's – has always looked awesome. From all black to royal blue to all white we always made sure we had an initial mental edge going into all matches regardless of our form. In recent season's the brains trust at The Hallowed Grounds of Newlands have sort to assimilate the Western Province and Stormers jerseys. They wanted a visual confirmation that the two were essentially one. I understood the reasoning behind it and in all honesty was a big fan of the 2011 edition which saw the jersey take on the blue and white hoops of Province. The 2012 edition was much the same and as mentioned above the 2013 took its time to grow on me but eventually did. The 2014 edition is a shot out of left field though.
The home kit is much the same as previous editions and barring one or two matches will be what the team will be wearing for the majority of the tournament. I like that they have reverted to a darker blue and not the candy blue of last years jersey and I prefer the blue on the chest rather than last year's white. The collar is reminiscent of the Province jersey of old and I appreciate the effort to 'remember your roots'. What I can't wrap my head around are the stripes on the stomach. What used to be classic hoops have now turned into some sort of mountain range heat wave effort which when on the players doesn't look great. I can already tell, however, that this jersey will grow on me as the season progresses because if I am honest with myself my current grievances are minor compared to the away kit. That jersey is fucking shocking!
The only thing I like about the away jersey is the fact that the majority of it is white. The lighting bolt which takes centre stage on the jersey, however, makes us look like a second division French team. Kind of like Bayonne's 3rd team or something. I cannot fathom that a) someone was paid to design this shite and b) someone in The Hallowed Grounds of Newlands signed off on it. What was he thinking? Gehd, honestly?! Both should be named and shamed. This jersey will not grow on me and does not install any confidence to me that the Stormers mean business.
Maybe I am being slightly harsh. If you were to say that a jersey is a jersey is a jersey and I'm being fickle, you'd probably be right. If you were to say that the performance on the field would either see the result go your way or not, you'd also be right. I'd be inclined to agree. Don't, however, try to tell me that a mental edge cannot be gained by looking good and don't tell be that this away kit is a horrible offering by the powers that be. The Stormers are better than that – in my opinion – and deserve more, rather than being sold short like this. Let's hope that their performance on the pitch over shadows their kit this season. As it should do.
Check out the photos below and tell me what you think.
You stay classy.

Being so versatile, granola bars are very allergy friendly. These are even GAPS approved.
Homemade crunchy, chewy and slightly sweet granola bars - easy, versatile, healthy and portable. Here's a no-bake recipe I created.
Fruit and Nut Granola Bars
Hanunyah Creation
(Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Refined Sugar-free, Grain-free, Corn-free)
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup natural peanut butter, optional
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups nuts and seeds
1 cup raisins
1. In a medium sized saucepan, bring the honey to a boil and boil for 1 minute.
2. Remove from heat. Add the peanut butter, cinnamon, nuts and raisins and mix well.
3. Spread into a greased 6x11 inch pan. Cool and cut into 16 bars.
This granola bar recipe is very versatile.
- You can use any mixture of nuts (chopped or whole) and/or seeds, and any mixture of raisins and/or dried fruit. (Remember to check ingredient labels, because some dried fruits have added ingredients). You could play around with adding different spices and extracts, and even other syrups instead of honey.
I recommend wrapping these individually, as they kinda stick together otherwise.

Our Lady of Walsingham is a title used for Mary, the mother of Jesus. The title derives from the belief that Mary appeared in a vision to Richeldis de Faverches, a devout Saxon noblewoman, in 1061 in the village of Walsingham in Norfolk, England. Lady Richeldis had a Holy House built in Walsingham which became a shrine and place of pilgrimage.
The Holy House, containing the simple wooden structure which Richeldis had been asked to build in imitation of the home in which the Annunciation occurred, became both a shrine and the focus of pilgrimage to Walsingham. The chapel was founded in the time of Edward the Confessor, about 1053, the earliest deeds naming Richeldis, the mother of Geoffrey of Favraches as the founder. In 1169, Geoffrey granted 'to God and St. Mary and to Edwy his clerk the chapel of our Lady' which his mother had founded at Walsingham with the intention that Edwy should found a priory. These gifts were, shortly afterwards, confirmed to the Austin Canons of Walsingham by Robert de Brucurt and Roger, earl of Clare. By the time of its destruction in 1538 during the reign of Henry VIII, the shrine had become one of the greatest religious centres in England, and Europe, together with Glastonbury and Canterbury. It had been a place of pilgrimage during medieval times, when due to wars and political upheaval, travel to Rome and Compostella was difficult.
Royal patronage helped the shrine to grow in wealth and popularity, receiving visits from Henry III, Edward II, Edward III, Henry IV, Edward IV, Henry VII, Henry VIII and Erasmus. It was also a place of pilgrimage for English queens - Catherine of Aragon was a regular pilgrim and her successor, Anne Boleyn, also announced an intention of making a pilgrimage. Its wealth and prestige did not, however, prevent its being a disorderly house. The visitation of Bishop Nicke in 1514 revealed that the prior was leading a scandalous life, that, among many other things, he treated the Canons with insolence and brutality; the Canons themselves frequented taverns and were quarrelsome. The prior William Lowth was removed and by 1526 some decent order had been restored.
The suppression of the monasteries was part of the English Reformation. On the pretext of discovering any irregularities in their life, Thomas Cromwell organized a series of visitations, the results of which led to the suppression of smaller foundations (which did not include Walsingham) in 1536. Two years earlier the Prior, Richard Vowell, had signed their acceptance of the king's supremacy, but it did not save them. Cromwell's actions were politically motivated but the Canons, who had a number of houses in Norfolk were not noted for their piety or good order. The prior was evidently compliant but not all of the community felt likewise. In 1537, two lay choristers organized 'the most serious plot hatched anywhere south of the Trent', intended to resist what they feared, rightly as it turned out, would happen to their foundation. 11 men were executed as a result. The suppression of Walsingham priory came late in 1538, under the supervision of Sir Roger Townshend, a local landowner. Walsingham was famous and its fall symbolic: Bishop Latimer wrote of the image of Our Lady: "She hath been the Devil's instrument, I fear, to bring many to eternal fire; now she herself with her older sister of Walsingham, her younger sister of Ipswich, and their two sisters of Doncaster and Penrhys will make a jolly muster in Smithfield. They would not be all day in burning".
According to Wriothesley, Windsor Herald, who wrote the informative Chronicle of England during the reigns of the Tudors: - "It was the month of July, the images of Our Lady of Walsingham and Ipswich were brought up to London with all the jewels that hung around them, at the King's commandment, and divers other images, both in England and Wales, that were used for common pilgrimage . . . and they were burnt at Chelsea by my Lord Privy Seal". Two other chroniclers, Hall and Speed, suggest that the actual burning did not take place until September.
The buildings were looted and largely destroyed, the sub-prior executed, but the memory of it was less easy to eradicate. Sir Roger wrote to Cromwell in 1564 that a woman of nearby Wells, had declared that a miracle had been done by the image of Our Lady after it had been carried away to London. He had her put in the stocks on market day to be abused by the village folk but concluded 'I cannot perceyve but the seyd image is not yett out of the sum of ther heddes'.
The site of the priory with the churchyard and gardens was granted by the Crown to Thomas Sydney. All that remained of it was the gatehouse, the chancel arch and a few outbuildings.
After nearly four hundred years the 20th century saw the restoration of pilgrimage to Walsingham as a regular feature of Christian life in the British Isles and beyond. There are both Roman Catholic and Anglican shrines in Walsingham.
In 1897 Pope Leo XIII re-established the restored 14th century Slipper Chapel as a Roman Catholic shrine, now the centre of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. The Holy House had been rebuilt at the Church of the Annunciation at King's Lynn (Walsingham was part of this Roman Catholic parish in 1897).
Father Alfred Hope Patten OSA, appointed as the Church of England Vicar of Walsingham in 1921, ignited Anglican interest in the pre-Reformation pilgrimage. It was his idea to create a new statue of Our Lady of Walsingham based on the image depicted on the seal of the medieval priory. In 1922 the statue was set up in the Parish Church of St. Mary and regular pilgrimage devotion followed. From the first night that the statue was placed there, people gathered around it to pray, asking Mary to join her prayers with theirs.
Throughout the 1920s the trickle of pilgrims became a flood of large numbers for whom, eventually, the Pilgrim Hospice was opened (a hospice is the name of a place of hospitality for pilgrims) and, in 1931, a new Holy House encased in a small pilgrimage church was dedicated and the statue translated there with great solemnity. In 1938 that church was enlarged to form the Anglican Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. Father Patten combined the posts of Vicar of Walsingham and Priest Administrator of the Anglican shrine until his death in 1958.
There is frequently an ecumenical dimension to pilgrimages to Walsingham, with pilgrims arriving at the Slipper Chapel and then walking to the Holy House at the Anglican shrine.

House Dust Mite Control
Product Code: FMH01☆ Home/office use☆ Relieve your family from asthma and allergy symptoms!
~ Drug-free
~ Easy to use
~ Safe for humans & pets
~ Reduces allergens produced by dust mites ☆☆★ ~ Reduces dust mite population ☆☆★ ~ Reduces asthma and allergy symptoms ☆☆★ ~ Reduction of drug intake ☆☆★
Health Problems Associated with Dust Mites
Approximately 25% of the world's population are affected by allergic disorders most of which are caused by allergens. Humans are most susceptible to inhaling the dust mite allergens while sleeping because of the long amount of time spent in bed and the close proximity to mites in bed linens.
Dust mites are the number one producer of indoor allergens. The allergens shed by the dust mites are chemicals called glycoproteins, which came from dried body parts and feces. Every single day just one dust mite produces about 20 of these droppings. Over a lifetime, a dust mite produces 200 times its body weight in fecal droppings.
Uncontrolled environments can cause exposure to allergens and can lead to the development of - asthma(cough and other respiratory problems) - dermatitis(skin allergy problems, such as rash and itching) - rhinitis(running nose and sneezing) - conjunctivitis(eye irritation) - eczema - others Especially, one in every three children is in some way allergic to dust mite allergens.
How Does It Work
It produces complicated ultrasonic waves that act directly and immediately on the mites exerting, as it were, an action in the nature of a disturbance.
The waves act on dust mites' fecal matter, deactivating it and transforming it into allergenically inert matter. At the same time, they also act on the dust mites' reproductive/growth cycle, bring about a reduction in the quantity of mites in the environment including beds, pillows, mattresses, curtains, carpets etc.
Therefore, there is a significant abatement in the rhinitis and asthma symptoms etc suffered by patients allergic to dust mites and their fecal matter.
How to Use
Research Findings & Clinical Trials Evidence
- Trials on patients using ultrasonic dust mite controllers over 3 months showed a 28% reduction of days with symptoms and an overall decrease in drug intake of 22%. - Trial on the effectiveness of Ultrasonic Dust Mite Controllers vs Chemical Acaricide showed that both achieved a similar result in controlling dust mite populations in houses. - A Double Blind Placebo controlled trial showed that, after 4 months, a significant reduction in symptoms of Rhinorrea, Nocturnal Cough, Nasal Obstructions & Sneezing, was evident in the group of 20 people aged between 4 - 15.5 years old, using Ultrasonic Dust Mite Controllers.

Yesterday, as what I normally do on Christmas eve, I go to our local church to celebrate Christmas in candle lights communion. I started this habit 18 years ago after I received the gift of salvation, and when I'm still single.
Fast forward to the present, after being married for 15 years and gifted with 2 kids, I still kept the tradition. But this time around, I celebrate Jesus with my family. We celebrate Christmas eve with singing and dancing in worship of the LORD. The Christmas story, likewise, is read to the children. We were also given opportunity to open our treasure to present our gifts to the LORD, similar to what the three wise men did. This year, the leadership also gave emphasis on strengthening families in consideration to "long distance" parenting and too much influence from the west.
Likewise, a small project that won support from multi-national companies became big, so after service, some members proceeded to the children's charity ward at the nearby Gov't. hospital to distribute Christmas goodies worth approximately US$ 40-43 per package, to patients.
Though we are seated at uppermost part of the balcony, the value adding presence of the Lord is still felt. We do this year after year as a family so as not to lose focus of what Christmas is all about and avoid celebrating the season with parties, foods and gifts but without the birthday celebrant.
As a parent, my wife and I would like our children to grow up understanding that Christmas is about JESUS birth, not about foods, money, gifts, reindeer, pine trees and sparkling lights.

Cruzbike Silvio adjustable Seat Build
Just a brief note! I rode tested all of these adjustments!
There are 6 adjustable positions…Prototype 1.0:
- 28 degrees – Stock
- 32.5 degrees – This feels great, very comfortable, still aero, head is almost vertical, easy to view surrounding without lifting. Maybe my favorite for intown and congested areas.
- 35 degrees – This setting is great, comfortable, easy to look around, headrest may be used on long ride. I can see coming into intersections without lifting.
- 37.5 degrees – This position is more neutral, but not as comfortable as 35 degrees.
- 40 degrees – This position feels about the same as 45, but a little more comfortable.
- 45 degrees – In this setting the CF seat is not very comfortable due to the seat pan being almost flat. It is rideable, but not to my taste.
Note: the above are all micro adjustable to about 1.5 degrees.

We are currently seeking prospective graduate students, post-docs, and undergraduate researchers to join our exciting research endeavors in agroecological management and sustainable food systems.
Summer Internship Opportunities
Interested undergraduates are encouraged to apply for an internship with the Blesh Lab for the summer 2020 field season (May-Aug). Interns will learn about agroecological research while assisting graduate students in the lab and field (see project descriptions below). Interns interested in social science could also work on a project assessing cover crop practices and knowledge sharing among farmers in the Midwest. Internship start and end dates are flexible, but students are expected to commit 20-40 hours/week for a 6-12 week period.
Project – Cover Crop Experiment on Conventional Grain Farms in Michigan
In May and June, interns will travel with the lab to farms in SE Michigan to collect baseline soil samples ahead of an experiment which will be planted later in the summer. After fieldwork is completed they will have the opportunity to gain a variety of lab skills and experiences, including sample and data processing and analyses. In late July/August, interns will return to the farms and to Kellogg Biological Research Station to set up the cover crop experiment. Lab measurements of plant and soil samples and computer-based data analysis will continue through July and August. Preference for this position will be given to those with an interest in farming and either (i) physical endurance to conduct field work outside during the warm summer months, or (ii) basic lab experience (i.e. from a chemistry or biology class or research).
Project – Cover Crop Experiment on Organic Vegetable Farms in Brazil
Applicants may also choose to work on a parallel project in the Blesh Lab that will involve analyzing the nutrient content of organically-grown vegetables and soil from a cover crop project in southern Brazil. From May until mid-June, there will be opportunities to support a controlled nitrogen fixation experiment in a growth chamber in the Biological Sciences Building on Central Campus. From mid-June through mid-August, this project will involve sample processing and chemical analysis in a lab setting. Through hands-on experience, interns will learn about data organization and analysis. Preference for this position will be given to those with prior lab experience and/or Spanish or Portuguese language abilities.
Project – Cover crop adoption and knowledge sharing in the Midwest
Interns interested in social science can work on a project interviewing farmers in Michigan and across the Midwest about their cover crop practices and how they share their knowledge with other farmers. The social science project will be ongoing throughout the spring and summer and will involve conducting interviews with farmers, transcribing interviews, and analyzing data.
This internship is not funded. However, if funding is the only barrier for you to intern with our lab, we will make every effort to help you find funding. For example, if you are a University of Michigan student, there are funding opportunities for internships to support your summer living expenses. If you are coming from another institution, your college or university may provide similar support. If you are taking classes on the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor campus over the summer and you qualify for federal work-study, there may be an opportunity to intern in the lab for up to 20 hours/week as a work-study student.
To apply: please email your resume, a cover letter explaining why you are interested in this internship, and a list of your relevant coursework to Beth VanDusen at vanbeth(at)umich.edu. Applications are due by April 6, 2020.

OPINION: Sometimes you have to fight for fairness
By Robyn Ashworth-Steen
When I was a human rights lawyer, I learnt that sometimes it's necessary to fight.
I had many experiences which left me angry and pushed me to do something positive in changing our world so that the vulnerable are allowed to live their lives in dignity.

When I first met Dr Edie Friedman, the director of the Jewish Council for Racial Equality, I recognised a fellow fighter as well as a passionate and tireless campaigner.
Edie and I began speaking about the lack of a strong, collective rabbinic and cantorial stand on issues of social and economic justice in the UK.
After several months of planning and a lot of hard work from rabbis from across the denominational spectrum, we launched, on 28 January, Tzelem: The Rabbinic Call for Social and Economic Justice in the UK.
In the prestigious surroundings of the Speaker's House at the House of Commons, we heard moving personal testimonies from four rabbis about struggles with mental health, immigration and relationships with families who were suffering from poverty and homelessness.
The rabbis spoke about the concerns of their congregants and a strong desire to help bring about change in our wider society.
Working cross-communally is newsworthy enough. We all know the joke about a Jew stranded on a deserted island who builds two synagogues – one he goes to and the other he would never dream of attending. But the real news is the reason why more than 60 rabbis stood together on 28 January – to say that enough is enough.
Tzelem is worried about the society we live in – for example, the fact that one in four children live in poverty and that one in four people will encounter a mental-health issue during the course of the year. And although mental health is 28 per cent of the country's disease burden it receives only 13 per cent of the available funding.
The list goes on and on.
At Tzelem's launch, rabbis and cantors spoke with one voice. We are ready to join the debate, to act and fight for a just and fair society.

In my last post, I commented on being asked "What are the best stock market books for beginners?" and I recommended some great books. I want to add a couple more that will also include changing your outlook.
One thing I came across when I started investing was trying not to follow the herd. I can be as my friends would attest, be a little unconventional. With the herd mentality, you can run the risk of running of the investing cliff along with the rest of Joe Public. Hopefully, not literally, that would be pretty bad. In my early investing years I wish I had found these books earlier.
They may change how you approach the market, and yourself for that matter. I believe you need to think differently. Enlighten yourself and try to act differently.
