Colours of Fall7:52 PM
The cold weather kicked in last week here in Zagreb, just a few days after these were taken. Navy blue and black combination is a classic. This leather jacket from Zara is maybe my favourite item for this fall. I wore it over navy / black dress with lace details. I got this Balenciaga like bag from Šaptač Cipelama, the most famous online store in the region. These super cute necklaces are from Tatiana Katzoff's shop where you can find amazing unique jewellery. Photos were taken by lovely Dora Barker, who's photography page is worth checking out, and you'll be definitely be seeing more of her photos on my blog.

From the USA to Argentina, the American continent offered me some of my most intense experiences such as scuba diving in the Great Blue Hole in Belize, the cenotes in Mexico, the crater of a volcano in Hawaii, with whale sharks in Honduras and with sea lions in Argentina. While the Caribbean Islands attract most of the attention of the holidaymakers, the colder waters are full of bucket list dives as well.

Moreover, I think that github's structure of user/projects suits me better than the project centric approach of SF.net. If you want to have the latest version of Burn.app you have to come here in the future. Not that much development is going on recently ;-)

Osogbo—Ahead of the September 22 governorship election in Osun state, candidate of All ProgressiveS Congress, APC, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, has taken medical mission to residents of the state to provide free healthcare services to them in their localities.
Hundreds of residents of Osogbo, the state capital thronged the Nelson Mandela Freedom Park to seek medical treatment for their ailments at no cost.
One of the doctors, Dr Adebola Odunsi, said in the first day of the medical mission in Ejigbo, 618 people received eye treatment and 440 eye patients got eye glasses.
He added that 220 were treated for dental issues, including dental extraction, scaling and polishing, adding that 1,675 came with general complaints and were treated, while 45 people were booked for surgeries.
When he visited the venue of the medical mission, Oyetola said the medical mission was aimed at ensuring that the people of the state are healthy and fit.
He urged the people of the state to vote for him so as to enjoy the full package of quality healthcare delivery in the state.
Oyetola noted that the current government led by Governor Rauf Aregbesola performed well in the area of healthcare delivery and that the medical mission was meant to further reach to more people who need medical attention.

ZTE may not be very well known within the U.S., but that's because of the lack of top-end phones which offer impressive enough hardware to compete against the likes of other OEM's top flagship devices. ZTE's most recent flagship device is the Nubia Z9, which is a phone that packs a powerful punch thanks to the internal hardware and showcases a striking design due to the mostly bezel free display. The Nubia Z9 has already launched inside of China and during the initial announcement of the phone it was thought that ZTE wouldn't be releasing the Z9 outside of the country, but recent reports state that ZTE will indeed be launching a U.S. model of the phone and that it will be available in three different variations.
Why ZTE is choosing to launch three models within the states instead of just a single flagship is anybody's guess, likely to give consumers choice, but customers aren't likely to complain over having options especially when they offer you the choices ZTE is going to be floating. When ZTE launches the Nubia Z9 in the U.S. later this year which is scheduled to be around the third quarter, the cost will start at $564 for the classic model of the device. The next tier up will be for the Elite model Nubia Z9 which jumps the price up to $645, and the third model tier called the Exclusive model will cost consumers $725.
The differences between the three phones are only minor as most of the specifications match up across the board, however, where they do differ may matter to the power user. The Classic model Nubia Z9 will come with only 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, while both the Elite and Exclusive model devices both have 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The Exclusive model also includes the fingerprint sensor which can be used for security or presumably mobile payments, but aside from that all the other specs are the same, which includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor, a 5.2-inch 1080p display, a 16MP rear-facing camera with a Sony IMX234 sensor and f/2.0 aperture and OIS, as well as an 8MP front-facing camera with a wide-angle lens, a 2900mAh battery and Android 5.0 Lollipop running on the device out of the box. The devices should be available unlocked and contract-free without a carrier so look for them towards the second half of the year.

Desmond Bergin and the Crimson welcome New Brunswick for an exhibition Saturday (Gil Talbot).
Harvard (0-0-0) vs. New Brunswick (3-0-0)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Harvard men's hockey team hits the ice for the first time at Bright-Landry Hockey Center this season Saturday evening, hosting the New Brunswick Varsity Reds in an exhibition at 7 p.m. Fans can watch the game live on the Ivy League Digital Network with Bill Spaulding and Tim Culverhouse on the call.
The First Line
• Harvard captured the ninth ECAC Hockey Tournament title in program history in 2015, downing Colgate in the finals, 4-2. Jimmy Vesey netted a pair of goals in the win, with Patrick McNally and Colin Blackwell also finding the back of the mesh.
• The ECAC Tournament title and subsequent trip to the NCAA Tournament were the first for the Crimson since 2006. Harvard met Nebraska-Omaha in the West Regional hosted by Notre Dame, falling to the Mavericks, 4-1.
• The coaches of the ECAC voted Harvard as its preseason pick to win the league, the first such time that the Crimson has been atop either the coaches' or media poll in the ECAC since 2003-04. The media that voted in the poll picked the Crimson to finish third behind Yale and Quinnipiac.
• Senior forward Jimmy Vesey was selected to the ECAC coaches' and media preseason all-conference team. He was also selected to the College Hockey News preseason All-America first team. The honors come a year after Vesey was a Hobey Baker Award finalist, the Walter Brown Award Winner, a CCM Hockey East First Team All-American and the ECAC and Ivy League Player of the Year.
Scouting New Brunswick
The Varsity Reds are 3-0 in regular season games as part of the Atlantic University Conference. Canadian Interuniversity Sport ranked New Brunswick No. 2 in its most recent poll of collegiate Canadian teams.
New Brunswick has ventured south of the border for a number of exhibitions this season. In early October, UNB topped Boston College, 5-2, but fell to UMass-Lowell, 3-2. Maine will host the Varsity Reds Friday evening.
Familiar Offense
The Harvard offense will seem familiar to Crimson fans, and for good reason. Of 121 goals last season, student-athletes that accounted for 106 of those return this season. This includes the Crimson's top line of Jimmy Vesey (32), Kyle Criscuolo (17) and Alexander Kerfoot (8) who accounted for 57 goals in 2014-15.
Assist Machine
Returning co-captain Kyle Criscuolo provided a team-best 31 assists in 2014-15. He is the first Crimson skater with at least 30 assists in a season since Tim Pettit in 2002-03.
Whitelaw Returns to Cambridge
The Whitelaw Cup, awarded to the ECAC Tournament champion, was raised by Harvard Saturday, March 21, 2015 for the ninth time in the history of Crimson hockey. Harvard last won the ECAC championship in 2006, the second year with head coach Ted Donato behind the bench.
40-40 Captains Club
Harvard's senior co-captains and linemates provided quite the 1-2 punch for the Crimson as juniors. With Jimmy Vesey posting 58 points and Kyle Criscuolo tallying 48, the 2014-15 campaign marked the first time since 2002-03 that Harvard has had two 40-point scorers in one year. That season saw three players reach the mark (Dominic Moore-51, Tim Pettit-47 and Brett Nowak-41).
NHL Caliber
Harvard boasts eight players on its 2015-16 roster that were selected in the NHL Entry Draft:
• Colin Blackwell (2011, San Jose, 7th rd.)
• Ryan Donato (2014, Boston, 2nd rd.)
• Alexander Kerfoot (2012, New Jersey, 5th rd.)
• Merrick Madsen (2013, Philadelphia, 6th rd.)
• Sean Malone (2013, Buffalo, 6th rd.)
• Tyler Moy (2015, Nashville, 6th rd.)
• Wiley Sherman (2013, Boston, 5th rd.)
• Jimmy Vesey (2012, Nashville, 3rd rd.)
Captain Crimson
Seniors Kyle Criscuolo and Jimmy Vesey will wear the 'C' this season for the Crimson. A year ago, Criscuolo became the first junior captain for the Crimson since William Ayers '47 wore the 'C' in 1945-46. Criscuolo joins a prestigious group of Harvard hockey players as he is just the fourth-ever two-time captain since the Crimson first took the ice in 1897. George Owen, Jr. '23 was the last two-time captain for Harvard in 1921-22 and 1922-23, with John E.P. Morgan '17 (1915-16, 1916-17) and William S. Beardsell '00 (1898-00, 1899-00) preceding him.
Vesey takes on greater leadership duties this season after putting together one of the most prolific offensive seasons in recent Harvard history last year. The Hobey Baker Award finalist and Walter Brown Award winner led the nation with 32 goals and finished third with 58 points.
Leading By Example
Kyle Criscuolo has been not only a model player for the Crimson, but he is also getting it done in the classroom. Last season, Criscuolo was named the ECAC Student-Athlete of the Year, the first Harvard player to receive the award.
Criscuolo's teammates were paying attention, as a total of 22 Crimson student-athletes earned all-academic distinction from the ECAC.
Harvard's selections to the ECAC Hockey All-Academic team included: Thomas Aiken, Ryan Begoon, Desmond Bergin, Colin Blackwell, Joseph Caffrey, Kyle Criscuolo, Eddie Ellis, Luke Esposito, Greg Gozzo, Jake Horton, Brayden Jaw, Alexander Kerfoot, Merrick Madsen, Sean Malone, Ryan McGregor, Victor Newell, Michael Seward, Wiley Sherman, Peter Traber, Devin Tringale, Jimmy Vesey and Phil Zielonka.
Bright-Landry Hockey Center
The home of Harvard hockey, the Bright-Landry Hockey Center, saw the Crimson go 8-4-2 in its first year after completion of extensive renovations. This season, the Crimson will play 11 regular season games in its home arena. Harvard will also be the home team at the Rivalry on Ice game at Madison Square Garden against Quinnipiac in January.
About the Ivy League Digital Network
The Ivy League Digital Network returns for a third season as the home for all live streaming and on-demand video content for each of the conference's eight institutions. Broadcast in full HD and featuring multiple camera angles, replay, and play-by-play and color commentary, the Ivy League Digital Network provides fans with unprecedented access to the Ancient Eight.
Multiple subscription options are available to fans, including school-specific and league-wide passes. To learn more about the Ivy League Digital Network or to sign-up today, click here.
Closed Captioning
Harvard is proud to announce the addition of closed captioning for men's and women's hockey to make its Ivy League Digital Network broadcasts of those two teams accessible to all.
Closed captioning for the Crimson's hockey programs will be available on desktop and mobile devices. The service is provided by Vitac (vitac.com).

Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath - recurrence
The patient reported multiple previous operations on her hand in a foreign country for a hand mass. Now presents with multiple enlarging hand masses.
Patient Data
Loading images...
Loading Stack -
0 images remaining
There are large soft tissue masses within the volar aspect of the hand, involving the thenar eminence and proximal fifth digit. No mineralization within the masses is observed. Subtle ossesous erosions are appreicated along the proximal metacarpals and proximal interphalangeal joint of the fifth digit. Because of the ventral and lateral locations of the erosions, there is suspicion of tumor spread to the dorsal comparments of the hand.
Loading images...
Loading Stack -
0 images remaining
There is a large T1 and STIR hypointense mass that involves the entire common flexor compartment tendon sheath, 5th digital tendon sheath, and flexor pollicis longus tendon sheath. The mass violates the dorsal aspect of these compartments to extend between the first, second and third metacarpals proximally. The mass is well-defined and lobular without peritumoral edema. There are multiple, small, mildly enhancing foci throughout the lesion, most prominently within the mass between the first and second metacarpals, and anterior to the fourth metacarpal.
Case Discussion
The differential for hypointesne lesions on both T1 and T2 weighted images in the hand commonly includes: giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) (aka: PVNS of the tendon sheath), gouty tophi, anything with calcification (i.e. synovial osteochondromatosis), rice bodies and chronic blood. GCTTS is T1 and T2 hypointense due to hemosiderin accumulation, similar to chronic blood products.
This case is unique because GCTTS usually presents with a focal mass that respects the boundaries of the enveloping tendon sheath. The history of "multiple surgeries" in this case explains the spread of the tumor to multiple tendon sheath compartments and beyond into the dorsum of the hand, because the sheath was violated at the time of surgery, likely seeding tissue in muliple locations and/or with incomplete removal of the inital mass(es).

This is mainly a low-intensity walk through a valley. However, it requires traversing rivers and passing through sections of thick willow bushes and soggy marshes. Total distance 17km.
Exit the Nerumaq Hut and traverse the river close by. Mostly, you should be able to do this by jumping over the rocks. Move along the river, downstream. Turn back to observe, through the valley, the sharp stony mountains with huge rocky debris beneath them. The track continues to pass along more large rocks and then gets to an extremely wet and marshy area. Once you have traversed this area, make sure you get back on to the track as there is a wide gradient of thick willow scrub on the way ahead.
While hiking through the willow scrubs, walk slowly and carefully. Look out for the constricted, rocky track, paying attention to the bouncy and slippery twigs on the ground when treading forward. Keep an eye out for markers, especially the more noticeable ones as these will help you keep track of the general direction. At most places, the track is at a little distance from the river and if you lose it, it can be hard to get back onto it.
Finally, the trail goes down towards the river. There is a rock bar here which makes the perfect, natural point to cross the river crossing point. Immediately afterward, the river is gulped down into a rocky canyon. At times when the river flow is less, it may be possible to traverse it by jumping over the rocks in it. The trail keeps going downstream with a rocky slope decaying into sand and gravel, on one side and the river on the other side. A little further down the track, you will see markers telling about the location of another crossing. Like the previous one, this too may be traversed by jumping over the rocks emerging from the river.
Follow the track downstream, while it gradually moves away from the river. At times, it is positioned up above the wide and rocky flow. According to the map, the trail ascends over an offshoot at about 100m. However, the path tramped over by the hikers goes along the river. The fact that this route is so walked over shows that hikers favor it over the one on the map. Those who still do choose to follow the Arctic Circle Trail completely will be able to see a firm marker indicating the trail, although, the track going to it and returning is not visible at all.
You will find the remaining valley to have mostly wet and marshy grounds with some dry patches of willow and birch thickets. It's best to stay on the track wherever it is visible and when it disappears, try to find it soon and get back onto it. You will be traversing little streams every now and then. Sharp and chunky gradients escalate towards the peak of Qaarajuttoq. When the track gets close to a lake, it goes beside the coast or even along the sand and grit shorelines. A certain stream running inwards is somewhat deep. However, if you walk a little upstream to bypass a small, deep pond, you can conveniently hop across the stream.
Continue to hike along the coast of the lake. You can then choose between two paths. If you decide to follow the coast of the lake, it will take you along an out-flowing river, which soon enters the sea at the head of the fjord of Kangerluarsuk Tulleq. You will see a hut at the head of the fjord.
If you follow the Arctic Circle Trail, it will ascend before reaching the lake and doesn't go up to the head of the fjord. Initially there is no clear indication of it; however, after a while, you will see a thin tramped track. Look out for markers suggesting going across a wide summit at about 100m. Glance north across the fjord to see the ice-covered tops of Aqqutikitsoq. Keep an eye on the markers as the track is not very prominent.
Right across, there will be a hut. However, going straight towards it would mean stepping into the marshy area surrounding it. Rather, keep following the markers showing the track till you almost cross the hut. At this point, take a right turn and go down a dry and solid path which would take you directly to the hut. Gazing down the fjord, from both of these huts, you will be able to view other small huts. These are in close proximity of Sisimiut and fishermen often go to these huts.0

The instructions were detailed but not overly complicated and the end product was delicious! I especially liked the herb butter which made all the difference.

Just went to a great talk by a wonderful artist, Novie Trump. She presented a wealth of info on how to be a professional in the arts -- everything from how to network and how to NOT wrap application CDs in 5,000 layers of bubble wrap and duct tape. The presentation was at artomatic; see Novie's beautiful work here.
Novie noted that "no matter how small the show is or what type of contact you have with a person, handle yourself professionally. It is a small, small world." Novie seems to set a great example with her grace and generosity.

UBELONG Snapshot
Name: Lijia Wang
Age: 20
Hometown: San Ramon, California
Nationality: United States
University: Emory University
Degree: Psychology And Visual Arts
Languages spoken: English, Chinese (advanced) and Spanish (intermediate)
Past travel experience: Moderate
Volunteer Abroad: Caring for Disadvantaged Youth in Merida, Mexico
Duration: 2 weeks
Start month: August 2016
Claim to fame: Lijia started the Shines Club, a cross-school organization dedicated to mentoring and helping children from disadvantaged neighborhoods. Great work and thank you for your UBELONG service,Lijia!
Why did you decide to become a UBELONG Volunteer?
Although I primarily joined so that I could chaperone and give my younger brother this experience, I have always been so passionate about volunteering in underserved communities and working with children. I also love traveling, but I prefer to explore cultures as a productive and positive addition to the community, rather than as a tourist. I love being able to truly immerse myself in new environments and gaining something other than photographs for the experience, especially when I can make local friends and help people along the way.
What was your impact on your volunteer project?
Although it seemed like our particular project was all fun and games (my brother and I were in charge of recreational activities in the development center), it was important to remember that we were contributing to these people's lives by giving the children a productive place to learn English for free, allowing their parents to focus on their daily jobs. They had a safe place to exercise, play, and learn during the summer with other children their own age. The English skills they learned could benefit them in their futures, and they also could look up to us as positive role models. As the pioneers of the recreational activities division, we gave the children more motivation to come to class every day and leave their TV screens behind.
What advice would you tell a future UBELONG Volunteer?
Keep an open mind and actively seek out places you can contribute. Don't just wait for people to tell you what to do. Make plans and find places where you can help. And don't forget to have fun! You're in an entirely different world with so much to offer and fantastic varieties of people to meet. Get to know the volunteer house staff, fellow volunteers, fellow travelers, locals of every class outside your volunteer placement, and the people in your placement, especially the children. Find time in between work to explore the best food and most unique parts and arts of the location. Don't be afraid to be adventurous. If you're working with children, don't worry if you don't always know exactly what you're doing or if you don't speak the language. They are always more than happy to improvise! If you go to Merida, go to the grutas de Calcehtok, take advantage of the free cooking class and salsa dancing offered at the hostel, and definitely dive in a cenote or two!
Tell me about somebody you met who impressed you?
While in Mexico, so many different people impressed me. There was a young boy who was barely 10 (I think his name was Marco), and he was working as a motorcycle-carriage driver to carry people to cenotes and give tours for extremely low prices. He was so young and already working despite also going to school, and he had a great sense of fun while he showed us the cenote. He enjoyed his job, but he was one of the few kids who had dreams to go to college and become a veterinarian. Our students were also so enthusiastic, welcoming, and eager to learn; and although we didn't pry, we suspected that they might lead similar working lifestyles. They were able to have fun with whatever they could get their hands on for hours and hours. It never became boring, and during our water balloon fight, they figured out how to reuse the balloons. Also, the UBELONG team and other volunteers inspired me with their commitment to try new things, help each other out, and make a difference in the world.

My life is flashing before my eyes. I want this blog to be so much more exciting, more posted on, more effective for orphans... blah, blah, blah. Instead, all I can seem to do is post once in a blue moon and ramble on about my personal thoughts, emotional battles, crazy life experiences as a mom and a family who took the plunge into God's heart for adoption. And what a plunge it has been AND continues to be. :)
It is so fun to watch JB and Risa experience all these "firsts" in our family... first birthdays (although that one was a little traumatic for JB), first family trip-- again, traumatic, but so good for our family; first Thanksgiving-- which was NOT a traditional Team Dragovich Thanksgiving at all; first Christmas tree finding and trimming, first Advent season, etc. Last night, during our bedtime prayers, JB thanked God for "Mommy making Christmas so beautiful". My heart was stolen into his and again, I was jolted into a new "view" of their little lives-- and our life as a family.
My heart screams out for the lives of the millions and millions of children living day to day, not knowing the love of a mother and father. One thing that JB is continually commenting on, roll-playing or talking to me about, is how Tony and I interact with one another. He always wants to "show" me how Daddy gives me hugs and kisses when he comes home from work, or how Daddy holds my hand when we are driving in the "makina" (car), or how we make funny faces at or tease each other-- things I completely take for granted. For JB, it is fascinating. Sometimes, he will say, out of the blue... "Daddy and Mommy, no hit?" Or, if he is in one of his silly, confused, insecure, teasing moods, he will say, "Daddy and a Mommy-- hit, hit, hit... ha, ha, ha!", then pretend he is "daddy", hitting "mommy" in the face. Of course, I am so very quick to correct him and reinforce how much Daddy and I love each other and are kind to one another. We will NEVER hit one another. But, all the while my head is reeling with sick wonder at what he saw before us and my stomach knots when I imagine it.
In general, the boy is fixated with "hitting". He talks about it alot, accuses others of doing it to him alot (unfounded-- beyond the normal brother, boyish hands-on behavior), roll plays it a lot, etc. He is super-oversensitive about it all and cries at the drop of a hat. And when he cries, it is a high-pitched, screeching, nerve-wracking cry. You would think that the kid was having his limbs pulled from his body, one at a time. And then... he just stops. He gets over it and moves on. Where any of my other children who are annoyed at their sibling will just say, "knock it off", or tattle, have me ignore their tattling and move on-- JB screams, wails and then stops. I am JUST now starting to distinguish these cries and not over-react to them. And, for as affectionate he has become with me especially-- constant hugs, kisses, holding hands, stroking my face and words of endearment-- he refuses to be comforted when he truly is hurt. He becomes stiff as a board when I pick him up, rocks back and forth, stops crying and then says, "All done, no more JB owie". I am working through all these things with him, trying to teach him to relax in my arms and give lots and lots of "off the spot" loving. Most the time I think I am blundering through it all, but he is making progress and God is good.
Did I mention that my heart screams for the faces of those left behind? The statistics of the world-wide orphan crisis are staggering. Here again, I find the task of giving you the numbers myself to be one step outside my time to blog ability. So here is the link to one family who has a ton of great stats:
My Crazy Adoption
There are others. If you go visit many of the families from my blog roll you will find more great stats, personal stories and practical ways you can be the hands and feet of Jesus and fight for the widow and the orphan. Another family who has some EXCELLENT ways you can give while you shop this holiday season is the Steiger family. Here is the link to Lenka's blog:
The Steiger Clan
It is more than frustrating to me to be in such a season where the "tyranny of the urgent" seems to always win over the "vision focused living". I hate not being more organized, more of a champion for the cause of adoption. I want so badly to do so much more... but alas, I cannot even go to the bathroom without have 2-3 children crying out my name in "desparate" need of something--and none of them are infants. Even to post this morning, I was interrupted SEVERAL times, we are now behind in our school day... and if I wait for tonight to blog, my brain will be fried in to several unrecognizable pieces all over my living room floor. You would probably be either incredibly disturbed or offended to read what would end up on the page.
That is so dramatic, isn't it? :)
Hopefully, later this weekend, I will post pictures of our latest adventures. We traveled last week to Elizabeth City to play while Tony worked and had some pretty fun adventures-- but mostly just more time to "pressure cook" together as a family. It was a good thing :).
Grace and Peace to you... and thank you for listening...

Durban II: Egregious Arrogance Part 3
The preliminary draft is in five Microsoft Word files linked at the bottom of this page. Click this link to read Section 1, the first of the five files, a target rich environment from which I have excerpted some of the most egregious clauses. Section one is comprised mainly of 305 items in an ordered list. In this post I will deal with selections from Item73 to 144.
73. Recognizes also that indigenous peoples have been victims of discrimination for centuries and affirms that they are free and equal in dignity and rights and should not suffer any discrimination, particularly on the basis of their indigenous origin and identity, and stresses the continuing need for action to overcome the persistent racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance that affect them;
This is an obvious reference to the Falestinians, ignoring the fact that they are not indigenous to the Levant; also ignoring the repression of indigenous Jews, Christians & pagans in various Muslim dominated areas.
112. Expresses concern with human rights violations against Christians and members of other religious minorities in various parts of the world;
You're concerned; big deal. What are you going to do about it? You're going to continue to allow Muslims to subjugate, even to kill Christians and Hindus with impunity.
113. Notes many efforts developed to organise frequent consultation of the representative bodies of persons belonging to minorities;
Why don't you list and enumerate them? What benefit flows from frequent consultation anyway?
114. Reiterates its concern about the plight of the Palestinian people under foreign occupations, urges respect for international human rights law and international humanitarian law and calls for a just, comprehensive and lasting peace in the region;
No such entity exists. Those so labeled are impostors. "Palestine" is a corruption of a name imposed on Israel by their Roman occupiers as an insult after an uprising. "Palestinian" means Jew. Jews are indigenous to the Levant, Arabs are not. In fact, Israel is illegally occupied by Muslim Arabs who stole territory from her in 638 and repeated the act in 1948.
Visit http://www.palestinefacts.org/ to learn the truth.
115. Although 7 years have passed since the adoption of DDPA Notes that the Palestinian people continue to be denied the fundamental right of self determination. In order to consolidate the occupation, they have been subjected to unlawful collective punishment, torture, economic blockade, severe restriction on movement and arbitrary closure of their territories. Illegal settlements continue to be built in the occupied territories. The Review Conference must look into the human rights situation and urge member states to implement the provisions of DDPA with a view to bring lasting peace in the Middle East.
- The "Palestinian" people are Jews, not Muslims.
- The Falestinians determined their own future when they embarked upon the path of policide & genocide against Israel.
- Falestinians, not Jews are the occupiers.
- There would be no self-defense measures imposed in the absence of attacks against Israel. Muslim aggressors complain of the natural consequence of their own actions.
- Jews have a moral, legal & historical right to live in their own homeland. No such settlement can be illegal or immoral.
- Lasting peace can only be brought about by eliminating Islam, which sanctifies & mandates genocidal conquest. There is no two state solution. There is no compromise. There is nothing to negotiate. Islam must cease to exist. Otherwise, peace is impossible.
116. Express deep concern at the plight of Palestinian refugees and displaced persons who were forced to leave their homes because of war and racial policies of the occupying power and who are prevented from returning to their homes and properties because of a racially based law of return, and recognize the right of return of the Palestinian refugees as established by the General Assembly in its resolutions, particularly resolution 194 (III) of 11 December 1948, and call for their return to their homeland in accordance with and in implementation of this right;
Ignores the fatal fact: Islam launched a genocidal war of extermination in 1948 & repeated it in 1967. Every consequence flowing from war and its extension: their continuing campaign of genocidal terrorism, flows directly from Islam's own doctrines & practices. In the short form: they have nothing to bitch about! They were begged to stay; left to clear the way for genocide, which failed. Why should they be allowed to return to continue attacking Jews?
117. Re-emphasize the responsibility of the international community to provide international protection for the Palestinian people under occupation against aggression, acts of racism, intimidation and denial of fundamental human rights, including the rights to life, liberty and self-determination;
Continues to stand history, morality, law & equity on their heads; a total inversion!
- Bukhari Volume 4, Book 53, Number 392:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
While we were in the Mosque, the Prophet came out and said, "Let us go to the Jews" We went out till we reached Bait-ul-Midras. He said to them, "If you embrace Islam, you will be safe.You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to expel you from this land. So, if anyone amongst you owns some property, he is permitted to sell it, otherwise you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle."
- Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
- Bukhari Volume 4, Book 53, Number 386:
Narrated Jubair bin Haiya:
'Umar sent the Muslims to the great countries to fight the pagans. […] Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says:– "Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your master."[…]
134. Invites States to establish, or, where appropriate, to continue boosting, funds to support civil society organizations to bolster their work against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, thereby guaranteeing their freedom from interference and their participation in the forums that administer and transfer the resources held in such funds;
137. Invites States, in their national policies, to promote the dialogue of cultures and religions to enhance the respect for the dignity of people of diverse racial origins and beliefs, for the promotion of international peace and security;
How in Hell does one dialogue with "If you embrace Islam, you will be safe"?! There is nothing to negotiate or discuss with Islam except the time, place and manner of its induction into Hell. International peace & security depend on the elimination of the genocidal predator: Islam.
The fatal facts of dialogue with Islam are detailed at A Common Word Between Us and You: Deception!. See also:
U.N. Interfaith Dialogue Conference.
143. Calls upon States to pay attention to the serious nature of incitement to religious hatred such as anti-Semitism, Christianophobia and, more particularly, Islamophobia, and to promote the fight against those phenomena by strengthening interreligious and intercultural dialogue concerning the common ethics of all religions and by adopting legislation aimed at ending impunity in this respect;
- "Incitement to religious hatred" describes the Qur'an!
- 9:29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
- 9:30. And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allâh, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allâh. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allâh's Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth!
- 9:33. It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islâm), to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh) hate (it).
- Interreligious dialogue:
144. Stresses the need to make progress in devising and implementing appropriate measures to prevent and punish contemporary forms of racism, such as incitement to racial hatred or violence by means of new information technologies, including the internet;
Continuing to demand legislation outlawing revelation of the fatal facts of Islam. This egregious attempt at censorship is an unacceptable outrage! I urge all freedom loving U.S. citizens who desire to preserve our first amendment right to freedom of expression to join me in disrespectfully demanding immediate withdrawl from the Unite Nations.

For the past 2 months and a half, I've been working on creating the new holiday called Day for Failure. It was the most serious and biggest project I've ever led. It means that a lot of things have been unprecedented for me. The fridge in my brain suffered from the input overload caused by vast amounts of lessons.
If you're curious why I did this and what happened in 17 countries, read the blogpost. Basically I decided to pick things up and organize the lessons I learned, before they melt down at some point.
Say no to scaling a team by default
Bringing a new member doesn't immediately translate to an increase in value on the team, if desired and expected. More often than not, the idea of engaging a new person can backfire.Unless I find a very clear reason the guy is needed for the project, I learned that I should not engage him. This includes even when the guy looks very smart and you feel like he will add lots of value up front.
Unless you're looking for a core teammate like co-founder or co-organizer, there should be actual work to be done by the prospect. Otherwise, you will wind up creating bogus work for the guy to do; additional layer of workload and management risk. Headache ensues. I realized too late, during the project, that I should actually put long-term contribution and level of motivation above the face-value of the prospect.
I made a mistake of engaging a new member too easily and early without prudent thoughts. While the face-value of the person looked great in every sense, I didn't check carefully if the person would be willing to dedicate minimum 4 hours to our project on a daily basis and go through hassles when things progress slowly.
I found it very difficult to take back on the announcement of the member and face this matter head-on with the person or other members. While I feel frustrated about giving unfair credits to the person, I have been giving the person unfair amount of pressure to deliver something for our project, when it was virtually impossible for him to do so. When it comes to growing a team, I learned that I should be very conservative like Mums are for their kids.
Priority is the king
As a servant of a project, you have to serve a king and always keep the king at the center of your mind. Although this might sound a bit anachronistic, it is the loyalty for the king that will save you eventually. And if you start to serve someone else, say a duke who is even more intimidating and perhaps wealthier than the king himself, you're doomed. While this is just an analogy, this can nicely deliver the point I would like to make now. One should always keep eyes on the ball: priority of a project. Sounds easy? Well it's easier said than done. At least it didn't work out as well for me.
The enemy was a sense of urgency. When we were almost on 20th day of our project, one of my friends sent me an email that our website looks like "a bomb". By then, I was thinking that our website was somewhat MVP level, and embellishing and airbrushing the website would never be our first priority at that point.
As silly as it sounds, I couldn't stop myself working on the website. How could I have ignored the feedback of a person I care about? (yes I should have, or at least hold off until it gets more important) I ended up tinkering with the website for almost a week or so, fixing some random pages and small details that wouldn't really matter at that point by all means.
We were supposed to focus on talking to potential partners, while keeping the website as simple as possible, perhaps with a single launch teaser page. As we were running on a tangible time-constraint, this was eating away at the odds for sucess and a clear brake on the progress of the project.
And you know what happened 4 weeks later? Not surprisingly, we were too much into getting partners this time and put even the most crucial things aside; sponsors, speakers, and venue. We almost had them all a week before the event happens. Yeah we got them all, but that was close.Even when there are seemingly urgent things to do, I learned that I should ask how much doing them at the point actually contributes to the big picture of the project.
A generalist is required (and maybe no more than one)
"Specialization is for insects." - Robert Heinlein.
Looking back, every member had expertise skewed over particular categories. However, there were always some skill holes that weren't so easy to fill in, given existing skill sets of our members.
While I was aware of the importance of building a team with complementary skills and tried to practice it, we had to get things done in an area where no one has experienced. For sure, those gaps had to be bridged within a limited time frame. Our team lacked design capability. (remember my friend called our website a bomb?) So I asked people around me. Two of our friends,(link) helped us with logo and poster design. I thought it was over and everything will go fine, with a happy ending. Yet there were tons of technically minor things that I couldn't really dare to ask my friends to do. So I had to learn, for instance, how to use image-editing software, Pixelmator and Adobe Illustrator and a few others.
We couldn't work on the project full-time. We all were doing more than 2 things then. Fully aware of this, I had to very often face situations where I couldn't afford to ask him to fix such minor technical problems. For one, I worked side by side with him, so I knew that he was totally unavailable at that time. For another, I couldn't well articulate the reasons the things should be fixed. (only later I could do) So I had to learn how to fix HTML/CSS problems in the way I want. Now I am capable of solving most of HTML/CSS problems although it might take surprisingly lots of time - looking up for solutions, and asking in the communities.
Some of new things I had to learn were,
Photo-editing software (Pixelmator / Adobe illustrator)
Web design 101 (basic usability, benchmarks, typography)
Facebook & Twitter management (post timing based on metrics and creating shareable contents)
Writing a press release & doing other PR efforts
Outsourcing is not a panacea. There are certain things very difficult to outsource to anyone outside the team, even when the person has a better ability. For instance, if the work requires a high-level of understanding in the project, it might be better to learn to get the task done yourself, due to communication risks. Of course, if the task is expected to recur and is important, then someone in the team should learn how to do it.
Someone must step forward saying "Okay I have no idea now but I will learn how to make it happen." and deliver it. Specialization is needed, but if not a single person goes through hassles of learning new things, then there's another limiting factor on the growth of the project.

More copper bangle bracelets on the make! Sold them all this summer and ramping up for Christmas! Wow, lots of copper.
New bench and metal filing cabinet for my workshop really cleaned things up. Thank you to my local bank that sold me these cabinets when they went paperless …. I've been stalking them for a few years telling them I wanted them. The cabinets are on nice big casters and waist height – perfect for working on the top and storing things inside.
Been a little swamped so I'm playing catch up on production. It's the season! Here we go!

The Canadian Media Concentration Research Project is releasing the final iteration of this 73 page report on the state of mobile wireless markets in Canada. The first draft was presented at a panel on "The State of Competition in Canada's Telecommunications Sector" at the International Institute of Communications (IIC)/Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) conference on November 17 and 18 that the Ottawa Conference centre. We were delighted to offer our views and to debate the issue of whether mobile wireless markets in Canada are highly competitive or badly concentrated at the Conference.
We argue in favour of the latter claim. This report offers a fairly comprehensive, long term body of data that places trends in Canada in a comparative international context. It shows that Canada shares a similar condition with many, indeed, almost all countries that we have studied: high levels of concentration immobile wireless markets. Canada is not unusual in this regard, and indeed no matter whether we look at things from the perspective of 19 countries, the 34 OECD countries, or 57 countries that account for four fifths of the world's population, the answer is pretty much the same in all cases: concentration levels in mobile wireless markets are "astonishingly high everywhere" (Noam,2013).
The difference between Canada and elsewhere, however, is whether or not there is the resolve to do anything about this state of affairs. Until recently, the answer to that question has not been promising, although there are some bright spots on the horizon and it is possible that they will light the way yet.

Year 5 Multiplication and division Return to Primary Maths Resources
Student resources.
You could show photographs of some famous buildings or the children to illustrate how objects or people are scaled down. Explain that, to describe how much something has been scaled down, we often use ratio or simple fractions.
You could set this problem: A tennis court is 7m wide and 24m long. A scale plan of it is drawn with a width of 3.5cm. What is its length? Agree that 7m has been divided by 100 to become centimetres and then halved. The same must therefore be done with 24m to give 12cm. You could repeat this type of problem with other similar scenarios.
The children could work in a small group to make 2D drawings of objects in the classroom. They measure heights and widths of their objects and then scale them down. They decide their own ratio for scaling down, for example, 1:2 (half the size) or 1:3 (one third of the size). Make the point that scaling down is the same as multiplying by a value less than 1.

The game was called after the first overtime period due to lightning. With the tie, the Mariners' record moves to 4-2-2 (0-1-1 Skyline), while the Panthers move to 4-4-1 (1-0-1 Skyline).
A photo gallery of the game can be view at this link.
Both teams played a scoreless opening period as USMMA totaled seven shots (three on goal) to Old Westbury's five (one on goal).
Old Westbury put the pressure on by taking four shots (one on goal) during a 10-minute stretch early in the second half. The Panthers held a 4-3 advantage in shots during the second stanza as the game moved to overtime.
After a combined drought of 22:21 without a shot, Old Westbury fired an attempt at 6:28 into the first overtime for the lone shot of the period, which was turned away by USMMA junior keeper Matthew Milner (Mount Airy, Md.).
Shots ended up dead even at 10-apiece, and shots on goal were also even at three for each team. Freshman David Kelly (Lutherville, Md.) led the Mariners with three shots on the night, including two on goal. For Old Westbury, junior Edens Avril had a game-high four shots with one on goal.
Milner earned his fourth shutout of the season after making three saves, while his counterpart, senior Mike Warren, also had three stops for OW for his third shutout of the year.
The Mariners are back in action this Saturday, Sept. 29, when they travel out to Patchogue in Suffolk County to take on St. Joseph's-L.I. The Skyline Conference showdown is scheduled to get underway at 12-noon at the Golden Eagles' Danzi Stadium. Live stats and a live video feed of the game will be available with links on the USMMA Men's Soccer Schedule Page.

RANCHO SANTA FE — The Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego is causing a stir of excitement with its 11th annual "Dream House Raffle."
This special annual event encompasses prizes galore, while benefitting the great work of the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
Chuck Day, president and CEO of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego said this annual event has netted more than 1,300 prizes, including a spectacular, multimillion-dollar home or up to $2.1 million cash as the grand prize.
"Raffle ticket sales provide unmatched support for San Diego's Ronald McDonald House allowing us to provide a home away from home for families with hospitalized children," he said. Day continued, "The Dream House Raffle is a win-win opportunity for everyone, including the 12,500 family members we serve each year."
The Dream House listed this year is a sprawling estate in Rancho Santa Fe. The home affords six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and is more than 7,000 square feet nestled on 2.4 acres.
At this impressive property, there is a private guest house, infinity pool, breathtaking views, chef's kitchen, grand master suite, limestone flooring and much more.
Securing this home was a team effort.
"Some generous supporters of Ronald McDonald House made this house available to us for the raffle. We feel lucky to have such great supporters, but I bet the winner of this raffle will feel even luckier," Day said.
While many supporters have already purchased tickets for the Dream House Raffle, Day shared, they are still very early in the raffle period and are counting on support from the San Diego community to continue to make this its biggest fundraiser of the year.
"In fact, if participants purchase their tickets by Feb. 6 they'll be entered into our first early bird drawing for a choice between an Acura ILX, BMW 320i, Ford Mustang or $30,000 cash," he said.
According to Day, he believes this Rancho Santa Fe home is one of the grandest properties they have ever offered.
"The home's architecture is incredibly tasteful and welcoming, and the property's location is exclusive and private, while offering views of the mountains and ocean. This house is a tantalizing prize, which will generate support for our organization through ticket sales," he said.
Day wants people to know that the important thing to remember is that each raffle ticket purchased helps them provide support and care for families going through a medical crisis.
"Every day at the Ronald McDonald House, I see families whose lives have been turned upside down by their child's serious illness, and every day I see funds from the Dream House Raffle ticket sales helping these families," he said, adding how this funding aids families with lodging so they can focus solely on their hospitalized child.
According to Day, the Ronald McDonald House in San Diego offers a total of 47 overnight suites. Additionally, they have a Family Care Center which serves and helps daytime guests. Meals, showers, laundry facilities, computer rooms, napping areas and more are on hand for the families.
"Our youngest family members even have a play area and access to a San Diego Unified School District teacher right in our facilities. The Ronald McDonald House was built on the proven idea that children heal faster when families are near," he said. Day added, "The Dream House Raffle and its more than 1,300 prizes is a very exciting prospect for ticket purchasers, and we're so thankful to the community for supporting the families we serve during an unthinkably difficult time."
Ticket prices are $150 each, but discounts are given for multiple ticket purchases. For more information in purchasing tickets, please call (888) 824-9939 or visit sdraffle.com for more information. Early bird drawings for multiple prizes will be held in Feb., March, and April.
The Dream House drawing will be in May and last day of ticket sales will be May 1.

The corronations become official--posted by Tony Garcia on 6/01/2006
Let the corronations begin. Well, actually the corronations were done long ago. Mark Kennedy will be officially crowned tonight as the GOP endorsed candidate for US Senate. Even though I called the GOP and told them to remove my name from the list of delegates/alternates and any other list that implies membership I still received a delegate convention call for this weekend's formalities (there were not any contested races allowed so "event" seems to be an inappropriate word).
Tonight is the sham of endorsement of Mark Kennedy. I say sham not because it was a safe bet that he would have won the endorsement. I say sham because the MN-GOP, Kennedy's campaign, and his partisan supporters continued the anti-democratic method of denying the existence or legitimacy of any other candidates. Harold Shudlick, nice guy but not a dynamic speaker, deserved to be heard as much as Mark Kennedy. John Uldrich, well spoken and a moderate, deserved to be heard as much as Mark Kennedy. Up until tonight the three of them should have been treated as equals.
Why weren't they? Because the MN-GOP wanted to "create the appearance of unanimity". The supporters are loathe to accept that ANYONE should be given any thought except the person they support. Because Kennedy does not want his positions to be challenged from any flank other than uber-Left, which Shudlick & Uldrich had the capacity to do. In doing so it showed a complete breakdown in character from them all...especially the candidate.
In a complete bastardization of what Reagan stood for I am willing to bet that insinuations of being a Reagan Republican will ooze from Kennedy's speech (and from what I understand the rules were changed this year aside from others to make certain ONLY Kennedy had the floor in this race). Bastardization because Reagan would have welcomed the two upstarts. He understood the importance of the marketplace of ideas...that opposition makes one stronger. That is a lesson the Pawlenty-supporters, Jeffers-haters and Kennedy-supporters all seem to have ignored.
Oddly enough many of them think it was great to have 4 candidates in the 6th Congressoinal District GOP endorsement race. Hmm, that seems like a double standard...which they will explain away as a difference between "legimate" and "not legimate" candidates. But what makes a candidate "legimate", at least "legitimate" enough to be treated with respect? They fail 100% of the time to quantify that criteria.
Instead they engage in personal attacks that have no relevance. "Just seeking their 15-minutes." "Just a liberal." "Is a goofball." Those have been used to describe 2/3 of the field of candidates seeking the GOP endorsement in the US Senate race.
Never, never and never have any of those anti-democratic Kennedy-supporters or the anti-democratic corronated candidate himself address WHY these other challengers warranted the dismissal they received and will receive tonight.
No, the Democrats are not any better...at least so some will say to justify this behavior. But conservatives hold a higher standard than the smoke and mirror excuses of "nothing against the rules" and parsing words.
The party sat by and refused to hold a straw poll for 2006 US Senate race. Make your own conclusions as to why but the most common excuse was that Shudlick was not legitimate enough of a candidate (Uldrich was not in the race at that time). The very same party officials saw fit to hold a straw poll tomorrow night for the 2008 Presidential election. How are they going to determine which candidates to eliminate on that poll?
Give the world an actual reason for analysis. Why did Mark Kennedy's campaign feel it was necessary to engage in trying to silence opposition (that alone is an anti-American thing to do)? Why did Kennedy's supporters feel it was legitimate to shield Kennedy from internal criticism (which makes the candidate unable to strengthen the weaknesses)? Why did the party feel is was acceptable to endorse a candidate over 18 months ago effectively shooing away everyone else from entering (which does not help to find the best candidate...only the first candidate)?
And the race for Governor is shaping up to be the same thing.
This may be an internal matter for the party, but the same attitudes seep outside of the party.
Some may wonder why people like Peggy Noonan and Glenn Beck are beginning to support third parties for this year. I don't...it is this disassociation by the candidates and partisans from everything except victory. Actually, their top priority is the defeat of the other party, second priority is their own victory and after that are some semblance of principles.
Tonight, this ill-behavior becomes a stark reality in the US Senate race. Saturday this ill-behavior becomes a dark blot of truth in the Governor's race. There was a time when the GOP's clarion call for public officials was "character matters". Character does not accept the anti-American behavior of trying to silence opposition ESPECIALLY when it comes from within one's own ranks.
They planted these disgusting seeds...let's see what fruit they bear over the long haul of several years.

White House, GOP recruit supporters for cap veto
In the wake of their defeat at the hands of media-deregulation opponents, the
White House and House GOP leaders were stepping up their counterattack.
Lawmakers Thursday were being asked to sign a letter pledging to
sustain a veto of a bill funding the Commerce, Justice and State Departments if
it contains a provision reinstating the 35% cap on TV-household reach.
Just such a provision was approved by the House Wednesday and is expected to
be approved by the Senate in September.
The White House hopes a credible veto threat will convince House and Senate
negotiators to eliminate the provision when they meet in conference to reconcile
differences between their two bills.
Earlier this week, White House budget director Joshua Bolten penned House
Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Billy Tauzin (R-La.) a letter pledging that, as
expected, "senior advisors" to President Bush would recommend a veto if any
media-ownership reregulation is contained in the appropriations bill.

Thank you Suw. I added a blog on a public figure, Amy Johnson, started reading the blogs, then remembered a wonderful woman, Mrs King, a neighbour who helped and inspired me through my later years at school.
She graduated from Cambridge at 18 and worked with Kodak in the early days of photography. She would have loved to see all the blogs today - I've added a blog to her on my site, and dedicate my pledge to her.Lynne Collis, 10 years ago.

text: The global flux of tidal energy to mixing processes via topographically generated internal waves is estimated utilizing gridded databases for bathymetry, vertical density stratification and barotropic tides together with a simple, local model for the generation of progressive internal tides at vertical steps in the ocean floor. Both the horizontal distribution of the energy flux to internal tides and its ocean mean are discussed. The computed oceanic mean value is 44 x 10(-4) W m-2, a factor of about 2-3 greater than previous estimates (MUNK, 1966, Deep-Sea Research, 13, 707-730; BELL. 1975, Journal of Geophysical Research, 80, 320-327). The global distribution of vertical diffusivity in the abyss is computed by assuming that topographically generated baroclinic motions dissipate locally and that the dissipation is distributed vertically according to an empirical law. Our results are linearly dependent on the flux Richardson number R(f). From the computed vertical diffusivities and the known vertical stratification we finally compute the global distribution of vertical velocities. Choosing a value of R(f) almost-equal-to 0.05 we obtain an upward vertical transport in the interior of the ocean, at the 1000 m level, of about 15 x 10(6) m3 s-1, which agrees with WARREN's (1981, in: Evolution of physical oceanography, B. A. WARREN and C. WUNSCH, editors. 6-41) estimated rate of sinking from surface waters at high latitudes. Below the 1000 m level the upward vertical transport increases and a maximum value of about 25 x 10(6) m3 s-1 is found at the 2000 m level, after which the transport decreases to about 8 x 10(6) m3 s-1 at the 4000 m level. This may be explained by the action of bottom currents. These currents entrain ambient water whereby the upward interior vertical transports tend to increase with depth. However, because of the entrainment of lighter ambient fluid the dense currents become less dense and only the most dense flows penetrate to the greatest depths.

That 'to do' list I spoke of a few months ago is getting an early start this year and I am not waiting until the hot weather in July or August to start this year. Plus there are some other things going on, where I am really really busy and blogging has slid down the list of priorities to the bottom. I have a lot to do, so my blogging will be very sporadic for a while and it might be longer than a week between posts. This morning I am off to a slow start so I thought I'd update what the hounds have been up to.
It wasn't raining nor had it the night before but Stella wasn't sure she was going on a walk. On Thursday when she did this I turned around and went back inside just as she did. She didn't want to walk any time on Thursday so we didn't and the weather was great.
Friday morning was a different story but I had to yell while she stood there to "come on". We have also started our walks from the north part of the yard on the return path, such as she would do if it were raining or wet. New routine and I'll follow it if that is what it takes for her to go on a walk.
There have been a few times we have walked without the camera because I just don't have time to break up my day once I get started. I have to take advantage of my motivation and get the work done while I am in the mood for it. No matter what we do though, the field is growing taller by the minute, I'm still mowing every two days between the rains and I am trying my best to focus on one project at a time.
Around 7pm last night it sure looked interesting in the western skies. I turned around and Heidi was gone, out of sight, left, right, in the front yard, next to the southern bank ... nowhere. So I took off on the path in the field and when I got to the back, straight ahead ... she wasn't there, no sign of her.
I veered left following the path that parallels the edge of the field and woods as if Stella and I were taking our afternoon walk. Then JUST BARELY I see the tip of a white tail moving left to right. It was her and her white tipped tail was doing exactly what it is designed to do ... help find a basset hound in the field when they are hunting. I'm serious about that.
I didn't want her to see me because I wanted to see how far she would go. She was taking her time sniffing and investigating different spots along the path but never walking off the path. I stayed around 30 yards behind her the whole way. She walked as far as she normally would with Stella and I, when she usually lets us walk on and she stays behind.
It looked like the same exact area. About that time SHE TURNED AROUND !!! She was heading home and I didn't want her to see me. So I trotted to the house, went inside to grab the camera for her return entrance into the yard. I could see her white tail tip moving through the field.
She stood there for a few minutes before she figured out where I was and then came running. I could not believe that she came to me inside to let me know she wanted to go outside, only to take off on her own walk while I was looking at the weird skies.
This morning Stella was ready to walk but still heading out to the north side of the yard.
Well I have to get back to the next listed task. Like I said, we will not be around much but will post some photos when I can.
Very busy times here in 'the tropics' of Southern Indiana.

Floyd Mayweather prodigy Gervonta Davis beat Jose Pedraza by seventh round TKO to become the IBF super featherweight champion of the world. It was a very impressive performance by Davis. He created angles and punched in combinations.
103 Lbs is a stacked division with Vasyl Lomachenko (WBO), Francisco Vargas (WBC), Jezreel Corrales & Jason Sosa (IBF) holding championships. While I think even at 22 Davis can hold his own with any of the above. The business and politics of boxing will make any match up with the rest of the super featherweight champions difficult

Psychosomatic Theory
Emotions are a source of life and pleasure, but when they acquire certain negative nuances and become chronic, they can contribute to the appearance of psychosomatic disorders. These disorders are more frequent than one might imagine, especially because there is a great lack of understanding in the individual's overall health, how to preserve it and how to take care of it. This text is presented as a first approach to the subject of psychosomatic disorders from a theoretical perspective. Objective: The aim of this book is to serve as a first approach to psychosomatic medicine, focusing on the explanatory theories of its origin and its "function". A text to bring the reader closer to one of the most important challenges that medicine has taken on halfway through psychology, the psychosomatic disorders. Target audience: – Health practitioners who want to delve deeper into the effects of emotions on health – People suffering from psychosomatic disorders and to their families, so that they can learn in depth about this new perspective of the disorder – Anyone interested in learning how emotions can affect health and how to approach treatment from a holistic point of view Topic – Psychosomatic Approach and Psychosomatic Disorders This section covers the origin of the explanatory theories on the psychosomatic approach, and what type of disorders are included from this perspective. – The Psychosomatic Personality In this section is analyzed the origin of personality, its formation over time and the health problems of an "inadequate" personality. – Approach to Psychoneuroendocrinoimmunology (PNEI) Considered as the last great contribution of health science, this approach poses a model for overcoming the limitations of medicine and psychology, which only provide a limited view of psychosomatic disorders. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1547575212
