Las Vegas was the fourth stop on our American road trip. Although it was somewhere I knew I wanted to see at some point, it was actually Tom who really pushed for it to be a part of this trip, having been there himself a couple of times before and insisting that I needed to experience it.
We flew into Vegas from New Orleans, which gave us some pretty cool views of the Grand Canyon on the way. The Vegas experience really does begin the second you get into the airport, with the baggage reclaim area being full of billboard screens and slot machines.
But before we even began to adjust to the Vegas way of life, we had to get used to the climate change. Whereas Washington D.C., Nashville and New Orleans had been very humid, Vegas was a completely dry heat. And about 10 degrees hotter.
I don't really know how to describe Las Vegas without saying that it's such a strange but fascinating place, and nothing like anywhere I've ever been before. It almost reminded me of being in a theme park. Like a giant city-sized attraction. And I suppose to some extent that's what it is! With each hotel having a different theme, from world cities to fantasy lands, it did feel like walking around Disney or something, crossing from land to land.
I think you could walk the Vegas strip every day for a month and spot something different every night. There is just so much going on, from hotels, shops, restaurants, rides and street performers. And I would recommend walking it. Both in the day and during the night, because you get a completely different experience from each. It is hard work in the heat, and it takes about an hour to walk one length (possibly longer if you stop in every hotel, which you should), mostly because there are too many people everywhere to be able to walk at any pace faster than a leisurely stroll. And that was probably for the best given the temperatures we were faced with!
We stayed at the Luxor, which is one of the cheaper hotels on the strip, but it's still technically a four star hotel, which is amazing value for money. In fact, hotels in general in Vegas are super reasonable, as they make most of their money through the casinos. I was kind of expecting Vegas to just feel like one giant party, and although the atmosphere was certainly loud and lively, it was clear from the moment we got to the hotel that it was a complete mix of ages and types of people, from families to people on business trips.
The Luxor is Egyptian themed and the main building is in the shape of a pyramid. After queuing for about 45 minutes to check-in, we found out that we'd got a slight upgrade from the basic room in the pyramid to the basic room in one of the tower blocks to the side of the pyramid. The main difference was that it seemed to be much quieter in the tower, which was nice.
There were so many restaurants in the hotel, but they were quite pricey so the only time we ate in the hotel was one of the mornings for breakfast. I can't comment on the casino because we didn't use it once. Shocking, I know. We intended to try one or two of the machines, but it just didn't happen!
We spent our first full day in Las Vegas by the hotel pool. It was extremely difficult to find empty sunbeds and they were all really close together. The pool was nice, and they had blocks in the middle of the pool to sit on, but there was very much a party atmosphere and a lot of loud music, which wasn't the best for relaxing.
Because of this, and the fact that I couldn't take another day in the heat, we headed to an outlet mall the following day. There are two main outlet malls in Vegas, one at either end of the strip, but we opted for Las Vegas North Premium Outlets, purely for the fact that I wanted to go to Kate Spade (insert heart eyes emoji). If you're on a budget and don't want to pay for a taxi, it's really easy to get the bus there and back.
Okay, time to talk food. So as I said before, we tried to avoid eating in the hotel restaurants because they were super pricey. On the first night we spotted a wood-burning oven pizza restaurant called 800 Degrees and decided we would go back there the following evening. Best. Decision. EVER. We later discovered that it's actually a chain, but basically you get to choose your own toppings, which they load onto the pizza in front of you and then cook in the oven for about sixty seconds before handing it to you. Amazing food and such a reasonable price.
For our other night in Vegas we ate in the Hard Rock Café, because we have a little tradition where we try and visit a Hard Rock Café in every city we travel to. As we were on a backpackers budget of sorts, we knew we couldn't afford to eat in a Hard Rock in every city on this trip, but we chose Vegas as our one splurge!
We also made sure we had time for a quick cheesecake stop at the Cheesecake Factory, as I'm pretty sure it's Tom's favourite place on earth.
Asides from seeing all the hotels and the infamous strip, the other thing that I knew I needed to do whilst we were in Vegas was to see shows. We knew we wanted one of said shows to be a Cirque du Soleil, and after watching a few trailers online we chose Mystère. I'm not going to lie, I didn't follow the narrative of the show at all, but it was a strange mix of tongue-in-cheek, serious and fantasy which oddly fused together really well. I wasn't expecting to be as continually astounded as I was by the insane talent of the performers. If you're visiting Vegas, a Cirque du Soleil show would be at the top of my recommendations of things to do.
The second show I chose was Jersey Boys. It's a musical I've always wanted to see, but never enough to pay to see it in London. I pretty much thought that because it's a Jukebox musical (based on the songs of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons), I would find it boring and a little cheesy. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. I absolutely loved the show, from the storyline to the staging and vocal performances, and I wouldn't hesitate to see it again.
Speaking of seeing things again, I would also love to return to Las Vegas again someday, although if I visited again I think I'd opt to say somewhere perhaps a little more expensive, primarily for a smarter and quieter pool area (and apparently such places do exist in Vegas).
The thing I loved most about Vegas is that it knows exactly what it is, and doesn't for a second try to be anything other than that.
If you'd like to see more of our time in Vegas, I've also uploaded a video, so feel free to go and give that a watch.
From Vegas we picked up our campervan, for a week exploring the national parks; keep an eye out for that post, which will be up next week!

We were having trouble getting our lab, Tessa, to eat wet dog food. We tried all the brands and Beyond is the only one she loves. Thanks for making a great product.
Mike had to have both rear knees operated on and we had trouble getting him to eat. I gave him a can of Beyond and we never looked back. I have given him most every kind and he liked the dry salmon at first and then not again, but he ate the wet salmon. We will keep using Beyond until he refuses to eat it, but I don't see that happening.
My dog has allergies and this is the only canned grain free dog food that is affordable and she loves it ! I wish it came in ground formula.
My dogs love this brand of food and it is always easier on their digestive system.
my dog 5yrs old recently almost died from becoming diabetic. The "diabetic" prescription foods out there...well, i cant afford in addition to her now insulin shots.
We completely changed her diet to Beyond products. They are only slightly more than reg foods and way healthier grain free and gluten!We select the wet food varieties that are sugar free and carb free (no potato) or lower (sweet potato), the dry foods, and the biscuits. My picky eater dog immediately loved them all! No transition necessary.Amazing quick recovery putting healthy weight back on. Highly recommend.
Very good ingredients and the price is good. I feel good about feeding it to my dog and she loves it.
Received a free can of simple origins wet canned food and my dogs loved it. I love that it is grain free and will continue to buy this brand!
My dog ran down the hallway from his evening walk in anticipation of Beyond for dinner.
She can sit straight up when begging for food, but this time kept toppling over, being too excited.
That's a great testimonial.
Feeding this food is like giving our little Sparky a taste of Thanksgiving every single day. He just loves it. When he hears the can opening, he'll come running from wherever he is, tail just a' waggin!

Lawsuit Filed: Elderly Woman Suffers Avoidable Fall and Dies
Los Angeles, Calif. – Pansy Lee McDonald, a wheelchair-bound 88-year-old woman, was admitted to Roseville Point Health & Wellness Center based on recognition that she was dependent on the assistance of trained professionals to be able to conduct activities of daily living. In fact, she was particularly sent to Roseville in recognition that she was a high risk for falls which in the elderly are deadly given her need for 2-person maximum assistance with bed mobility, non-ambulatory/wheel-chair bound status. Simply stated, rather than competently provide this assistance for which Roseville was paid dearly, McDonald's needs were not properly attended to and she suffered avoidable falls that resulted in a fractured hip and multiple head injuries that unfortunately led to her death. Most notably, in April 2017, McDonald fell out of her bed while one of the facility's certified nurse's assistants attempted to change McDonald's diaper—a 2-person task. McDonald was sent to a hospital where she underwent hip fracture surgery and stayed until discharged back to Roseville Point Health & Wellness Center approximately three weeks later. Within two months following the alleged, entirely preventable fall, McDonald passed away.
"This horrific incident is one in a string of injuries at Roseville Healthcare & Wellness Center," said Attorney Stephen Garcia. "Our complaint alleges that management at Roseville has siphoned off huge amounts of money under the guise of providing 'Support Services' and through 'Administrative Expenses' accounts, which were all required to provide lawful and proper care to the facility residents including Pansy. And the predictable result of placing profits over people were the injuries and death suffered by Pansy. Our complaint clearly alleges that this facility was, and is, more focused on their own monetary enrichment than the health and safety of Pansy and other residents."
Garcia & Artigliere filed a lawsuit against Roseville Point Health & Wellness Center for elder abuse, and negligent hiring and supervision.
Allegations and Background
According to the lawsuit, Pansy Lee McDonald was admitted to the Roseville Point Health & Wellness Center because of her total dependence for all activities of daily living, as well as her significant medical conditions, including diabetes, history of multiple falls with fractures and dementia. It's alleged Roseville Point Health & Wellness Center was well aware that if they failed to provide McDonald with required care, supervision and monitoring, there was a high probability that she would suffer injury.
In early April 2017, McDonald allegedly fell out of the right side of her bed while a nurse's assistant attempted to change McDonald's diaper. No one else was assisting the lone nurse in changing McDonald's diaper nor standing as a guard on the opposite side of her bed, even though she required a 2-person assistance. Prior to the fall, McDonald's air mattress suddenly inflated, causing her to roll to the unguarded right side of the bed. She kept rolling over until freefalling out of her bed and onto the floor face-first. McDonald was sent to a hospital where she underwent hip fracture surgery and where she stayed until discharged back to the Roseville Point Health & Wellness Center about three weeks later. On June 28, 2017, within two months following the entirely preventable fall, McDonald passed away.
The lawsuit alleges Roseville Point Health & Wellness Center consciously failed to provide McDonald with the required care, leading directly to her injuries and death. Within this negligence was the practice and pattern of staffing the facility with an insufficient number of service personnel, many of whom were not properly trained or qualified to care for the residents. It's evident through the law firm's findings that this plan was designed by the facility's management as a mechanism to reduce labor costs and predictably resulted in the abuse and neglect of many residents, most specifically, McDonald.

No A&E is not closed. They're just very busy. Life-threatening crises only – there's some seriously heavy doctoring going on in there.
Life-threatening because that's what they're swamped with. Lots of people who might die.
Because of antimicrobial resistance, that's the nightmare they're fighting. You may have heard of it as AMR.
None of their antibiotics in the cupboard are working any more – they're failing because of superbugs.
Doctors always knew it was going to happen. Since antibiotics were first discovered, bacteria have always found a way to develop immunity. Sooner or later, the next wonder-drug becomes useless. And now all of them are.
The end of modern medicine
So it's back to hands-on medicine with bandages and antiseptics. Doing everything the hard way.
No more miracle recoveries, from now on we all have to face the hard facts of life.
It hasn't happened yet of course. But it's sure as hell going to. And very, very soon. Dr Sally Davies, England's Chief Medical Officer, has been warning us of it for years.
And when it does, all the amazing capabilities of modern medicine will come tumbling down in ruins. No more heart bypasses. The end of hip replacements. Caesarean births no longer possible. The end of any major surgery because drug-driven infection control is finished. A&E stalled.
Not just operations either. Think of all the ailments we run to the GP for that we clobber with antibiotics. Especially for our kids.
When antibiotics fail, there is no safety net. No more bacteria-bashing for us. It's bacteria's turn to strike back.
Yes, we're vulnerable. But we're not dead yet. If we're watchful, we can survive.
Friends, not enemies
First off, if we can't beat them, we should join them. A lot easier than most of us think, because we're not the living beings we think we are. Only 10% of us is human.
The rest is bacteria, actually essential to our needs. Fulfilling a zillion functions – from digestion, to protein production, to even managing our immune systems. Going to war with bacteria is going to war with ourselves.
Of course there is good bacteria and bad bacteria. Or more accurately, bacteria in the right place – and bacteria in the wrong place. When we come down with bacterial ailments, those are really the bad guys in the wrong place.
Which means our best survival chances are by protecting the good bacteria from the bad. Shielding them from contact, or avoiding possible exposure. Effective defence, long before getting to A&E.
Hygiene protection
Yes, so second, we need to take care. No more blundering around without thinking. We need to be alert always. Aware of accident opportunities and steering clear. Slice your finger chopping vegetables, and you could be in serious trouble. Especially if A&E can't help.
Third, we need all the protection we can get. Keep those bad bacteria away. Never let them get near us, so we're never threatened.
Which puts a major stress on hygiene. Deliberately taking it way more serious – and never letting our guard down. Bad bacteria can't get to us if there aren't any around.
So it's washing hands before and after we do anything. And much more thoroughly than we might have done before. Two minutes with soap and water, not the token rinse we usually kid ourselves with.
It's cleaning and washing everything around us too. No good if our hands are clean and we touch something contaminated. Bacteria are everywhere, billions and billions of them – on every surface and in the air around us.
Yeah, OK. We can rub and scrub with bleach like we're paranoid. We still won't reach everywhere and bacteria are persistent. Bugs like norovirus and salmonella are notorious for coming back over and over again.
Stacking the odds
Luckily, there is a way to annihilate them. Oxidise them with hydrogen peroxide. Their cells are ripped apart by oxygen atoms. No more threat – ALL viruses and bacteria are destroyed.
And the easy way to do it? Use a Hypersteriliser. Taking the heat off A&E.
Press one button and the place mists up with IONISED hydrogen peroxide – more potent and way more effective than other methods. Electrically charged, the ultra-fine mist particles are galvanised into escaping from each other. Pushing into every crack and crevice, reaching underneath and behind things, hard up against walls, floor and ceiling.
That same charge reaches out and grabs at germs like a magnet too. With the opposite charge, they are helplessly attracted – to be zapped into nothing by an oxidising phalanx of hydroxyl radicals, reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, ozone and ultraviolet.
Germ-free – safe
Give it 40 minutes and all germs are gone. 99.9999% of them, to a Sterility Assurance Level of Log 6. Down to just one germ out of every million particles in the room – almost infinitesimally nothing.
Imagine, the room is germ-free. Even though we bring our own cloud of germs in with us, we're stepping into a zero threshold. Can't get much better protection than that.
And don't panic, A&E might be hard-pressed, but they're not totally swamped yet.
Bump our hygiene levels all round though, and they stand a better chance of riding the tsunami to come.
Amazing though isn't it?
We can prevent the end of the world, just by washing our hands.

I18N-ISSUE-241: Directionality section doesn't mention isolates [ITS-20] http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/241 Raised by: Norbert Lindenberg On product: ITS-20 http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-its20-20121206/#directionality The Directionality section is not up to date with current developments. Unicode, HTML5, and CSS have been updated or are being updated to allow for isolates, which are better than embedding in many situations, specially when inserting user data into web pages where the user data and the web page may not have the same directionality. The specs are still in flux, and it's not clear whether they will stabilize in time for ITS 2.0 to normatively include isolate support.

Such a shame it's fallen into such a ruinous state, but if the outer shell is fine, there's always a possibility...
Thanks guys - the population of the Outer Hebridean islands is stable, but ageing.....which means that vital community focal points such as primary schools etc are gradually closing down. Rennovation may be possible but would be expensive in order to comply with modern building regs and there is more chance of a holiday or retirement home being constructed. This also would add less to the local community financially and socially than were it used to provide affordable housing for those on the waiting lists in Stornoway.
Nice shot well captured showing time doing it's thing, timeless capture.

Ancient Adventures in a Wheelchair
Centuries ago in an ancient world, kings were building magnificent temple complexes. King Suryavarman II wasn't exactly thinking about wheelchair accessibility when he built Angkor Wat, the largest temple complex in the world. Although Angkor Wat can be difficult to climb even for an able bodied person, it didn't stop these adventurers from Belgium using their wheelchairs!
The group enjoyed their stay in Siem Reap at the beautiful Lotus Lodge hotel which has made many efforts in making the hotel as wheelchair accessible as possible. (http://www.thelotuslodge.com)
For more information visit: http://www.decalage.be
22 Interesting Travel Facts
Let's start with Cambodia!
1.) The Cambodian flag is the only national flag that has an image of a building – the Angkor Wat.
2.) Cambodia has been changing its name whenever a new government was installed: It was called the Khmer Republic during its republican years, Democratic Kampuchea under the Khmer Rouge regime, and People's Republic of Kampuchea under the leftist group called Salvation Front. Today, in its latest government form, it is officially called the Kingdom of Cambodia.
3.) In Cambodia, the head is regarded as the highest part of the body and shouldn't be touched even in the kindest manner.
4.) In Cambodia, It's considered disrespectful to let your feet or soles to point at people or things, so the feet must be tucked in when sitting.
5.) Though the famous English film 'The Killing Fields' was set in Cambodia, the hotel scenes in this 1984 movie, were shot in the Railway Hotel in Hua Hin, Thailand.
6.) Couples who travel together have reported increased feelings of intimacy.
7.) France covers the most time zones.
8.) Niger has the youngest population of any country.
9.) Did you know that Chicago has the only river that flows backwards? The flow was reversed by engineers about a hundred years ago for sanitary purposes.
10.) Also known as the 'city of destiny', Visakhapatnam in India has a Submarine Museum – the only one of its kind in Asia.
11.) With over 450 species of birds, Gambia in Africa has one of the highest concentrations of birds in the world. This place is indeed an attractive destination for bird watchers.
12.) The original name of Bangkok is a real tongue twister – 'Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit'. Much simpler to call it Bangkok!
13.) Timbuktu, a name that has become synonymous with far and remote places, is actually an isolated city in Mali, Africa. It was awarded the status of World Heritage Site in 1988.
14.) Most Educated People – Canada
With 50% of its population having been educated at the post secondary level, Canada easily has
the most educated populace in the world. It is followed by Israel at 45% and Japan at 44%.
15.) The Land of No Rivers – Saudi Arabia
Sounds a bit strange doesn't it? For a country as big as Saudi Arabia there has to be at least
some sort of flowing water. Well, there isn't. Most of their fresh water comes from desalinization
plants or underground reservoirs.
16.) With over three million lakes, 9% of Canadian territory is actually FRESH water and OVER 60%
of all the lakes in the world are found WITHIN ITS BORDERS.
17.) Russia produces the most oxygen in the world.
Siberia is home to approximately 25% of the world's forests that span an area larger than the
continental United States, making Russia the largest converter of CO2 into breathable
18.) Worlds's Largest Swimming Pool – Chile
The San Alfonso del Mar resort in Chile has the world's largest swimming pool. It holds 66 million gallons.
19.) Rwanda in Africa is commonly known as the Country of Gorillas.
20.) The girls in Venezuela, South America are amazingly beautiful. No other country in the world has had more Miss Universe and Miss Worlds than Venezuela. The country is proud to be home of the beauty queens!
21.) Chiang Mai in Thailand, is rated among the top 10 cities in Asia that is suitable for perfect and peaceful living. If you wish to seek peace and solitude then Chiang Mai is the place where you should be.
22.) Bhutan is considered to be one of the most isolated and least developed nations – television and internet were introduced here only in 1999!
Ancient Temples & The Cosmos
For those of you interested in the cosmological aspects of the many Ancient Temples around the world, this a must see documentary.
Recent technological advances show several theories that suggest there was a 'great plan' according to 'ancient belief', linking the pyramids of Giza, Easter Island and the Temples of Angkor.
Our starting point in time is the dawn of the Spring Equinox in the year of 10,500 BC. The alignment of the stars of the Constellation of Draco of that morning are mirrored exactly by the layout and positioning of the Temples of Angkor, built some 11,000 years later. Even if one disputes the computer and satellite evidence, it cannot be denied that Angkor Wat lays at exactly 72 degrees east of the pyramids of Giza in Egypt and 72 degrees west of Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean. We now know that the pyramids were built to catch the light of the stars on special dates and they were laid out to mirror the constellations. All these precise calculations were done in order to bring "Heaven and Earth 'closer' together for the benefit of the people", according to ancient Egyptian writings. So if that is the case in Giza, why not in Angkor?
Another is the number '72'. It is a primary number in a sequence of numbers, which are very much linked to the constellations over a period of 25,920 years. They show the Earth's axial procession to vary by one degree every 72 years. The importance of this number is demonstrated to us by the Khmers at the Bakeng Temple, where there are 108 towers surrounding it. 72 divided by 2 equals 36 and 36 +72=108! So again, the importance of the primary number of 72 is shown to us. Also, the number 72 features throughout in the construction of the pyramids of Giza. Just how this knowledge was shared with the Khmers in the building of their empire some 11,000 years later is not known, but clearly it was!

I have a Type A personality. That has been true from the time I was young and yet in many situations I would describe myself as being pretty laid back. I don't really care where a group goes out for dinner. I'm sure whichever park you choose for our kids' playdate will be great. I will enjoy whichever drink you've ordered for us because you arrived ahead of time. I really will. And yet there are other situations where I absolutely need to be in control of what's happening. That aspect of my personality has served me well over the years. I graduated with Honours. I excelled in my jobs. And now that I have my own business, it gave me the strength to stand behind my opinions and decisions when they were under scrutiny in an industry that does things very differently than I do. However, enter motherhood and that need has often been a curse.
When my oldest was born, being a first time mom threw me into a tailspin. Until that point, I had the ability to master whatever task was put in front of me and yet this little person proved to me over and over again that there was no mastery to be found. Just when I thought I got the hang of things, everything would change and I was back to square one. Reading as much as I could, grasping at what I needed to know to be the best mother possible, but mostly I guessed and made it up as I went. In retrospect, all first-time moms do that. They always will. But it was such a foreign concept and certainly not how I had ever tackled anything before that it left me feeling inept. I had lost the integral piece of how I saw myself. I was no longer the competent, I-can-do-anything-person I believed myself to be. And it was devastating. So I focussed on what I could control, the minutia, the itty-gritty details of his days. It was so bad that I would send a printed 'Mason Manual' with him whenever my mom & step-father would babysit. Not that they had any experience with babies after raising 3 children of their own. As you can imagine, if I felt the need to control how my parents cared for my child, that spilled over to anyone who was involved with him, especially my husband.
My poor, poor husband. The man in many ways is a Saint because those first years with me would have been pretty tough to endure. He had to to everything my way. Diapering, bathing, feeding. If he deviated from my methods I was quick to criticize and correct. He felt immasculated, alienated and unappreciated. Not a good for any relationship and certainly not the foundation for a strong parenting team. Luckily he stuck it out and we had more children.
The addition of a second and a third child in many ways helped me gain a much healthier perspective. With three children under the age of 5 you simply can't control everything. You have to let go and do what you need to survive. I had to rely on my husband to do things without my eagle-eye supervision. And then I had an illuminating conversation with my cousin who had just had her third baby while vacationing in France. The French are so smart, after a baby is born a psychologist comes to visit the mother in hospital. [palm to forehead] Why don't we do that here? Who wouldn't benefit from that kind of support? Anyhow, she told me that her conversation with the psychologist included the idea that children experience different kids of love. For example a mother's love and a father's love, and these types of love are expressed in different ways which provides children with a diverse experience of what love is from different people. More importantly, children are able to distinguish that different people do things in different ways and that's ok. So when Daddy's at home feeding them, he may not put them in their high chair. But when Mommy feeds them, they always go in their high chair. Both people love them, they just do things differently. Take a minute to absorb that. After I did I had a complete paradigm shift. I didn't need to control the minutia and shouldn't because I was robbing my children (and their father) of the ability to forge their own independent relationships. That concept extends outside of the home as well. If your children go to daycare, they are going to do things differently. Grandma does things differently. So does their best friend's mother across the street. All of those experiences become the rich tapestry of our lives. We owe it to our children to let go of the reins.
There are, of course, some areas in which maintaining a watchful eye and having rules is necessary. Every parent has their non-negotiables. I have very strong beliefs about treating children with respect. I won't compromise on that. Personal safety also tops my list of things that require parenting vigilance. However, if Daddy wants to take them to the park and do things that I wouldn't do with them, that really is up to him. He's an adult who has a vested interest in their well-being and I have to trust his judgement. And if something happens that makes me feel uncomfortable, we talk about it to find a solution. Sometimes that solution is for me to let it go. I struggle with that one, but I am trying.
As for whether I feel any more masterful in my Mommy-skin the answer is some days yes, some days no. What I do know is that we're all doing our best but in taking a step back, being open to new ideas and letting go of preconceived ideas that formed from our own childhood, we have the chance to get out of our own way to give our children the best experiences possible.

Times of Refreshing in the Lord
THE WAR ANOINTING: Spiritual Victory behind Enemy Lines by Revivalist Todd Bentley
As soon as we become blood-bought believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we're thrust behind enemy lines, though assured of God's protection. However, we're also reminded that we operate in an environment of spiritual terrorism: "… We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one" (1 John 5:19). Thus, we must recognize and commit ourselves to train and be ready for battle, and even more so, in these last days, for unconventional spiritual warfare. Whether you are a marine fighting in the streets of Baghdad, a parent living in a sleepy suburb, or even the President of the United States, you must assume your position as a mighty spiritual warrior similar to that of an ancient soldier defending an empire (see Ephesians 6:10–18). …

What are your gym bag essentials that you rely on to refresh right after a long run or workout? Join in for Coaches' Corner!
This post is sponsored by Cottonelle®. All opinions and thoughts are, as ever, my own.
Welcome to another round of Coaches' Corner, hosted by myself, Rachel, Debbie, and Lora. Today, I want to talk about your non-negotiable car and gym bag essentials. Some of us are super lucky and can just step outside and be on a path for our long run instantly. Others, however, have to commute to a starting point, as was the case for many of the participants of marathon training last summer. How do you stock your gym bag (without bringing the kitchen sink) so that you will be refreshed and ready for the commute back, or (hopefully) brunch with your friends?
Post Run or Workout Gym Bag Essentials
1) Long Run Recovery Nutrition
Even if you think you are going to be going to brunch right after, come prepared with some back up recovery nutrition and hydration. If you have a car, throw a small cooler in there with an ice block and a bottle of water and a nutrition bar or banana and nut butter. You start recovery as soon as you are finished with your run, and you need to replenish that body ASAP. Keeping some with you will negate any question as to whether or not you will be able to take care of your body (brunch might be farther away than you think!).
2) Change of Clothes and Shoes
While perhaps the idea of putting fresh clothes on a sweaty body might not appeal to your senses much, your body will thank you for not keeping it sitting around in sweaty and salty clothes. Sitting in damp clothing is a big time no-no; regardless of how hot it might seem outside, the minute you step inside (for brunch), you are going to get chilled. Besides, though we might think of our sweaty clothes as a badge of honor that others in the vicinity get to suffer through as we just so suffered, throw everyone a bone and change.
Throw your feet a bone as well, and put them in some fresh, cushiony shoes that let them dry out but also give them some great after run support. Speaking of support? Now is the time to throw on some compression socks to help with circulation until you can take care of yourself for optimal muscle recovery.
3) Clean Towel
Going along with #2, a towel is super helpful to have with you for several reasons. If you know you will be in a place with private changing rooms or bathrooms, just bring a small towel; going to be changing out of your car? Bring a big towel both to clean yourself off as well to to conceal your bits while you are changing clothes! Use the towel as a seat cover to protect against muddy or sweaty clothes as well.
4) Hairbrush and Deodorant
I don't care who you are, reapplying deodorant after sweaty workout is a must. Just don't even go there. The hairbrush is just as much a part of my gym bag essentials, particularly when I sweat through my hair or if there was wind (and I live in Chicago, so you know that there is!). Don't let those knots languish and solidify–deal with them NOW! Also, how good does it feel to brush out your hair after a long run and get that scalp massage?
5) Cottonelle® Flushable Wipes
Critical to my list of gym bag essentials are Cottonelle® Flushable Wipe. You have the rest of your body feeling a bit more peppy, now it is time to use Cottonelle® Flushable Wipes to actually get fresh in what is likely the most unfresh area post run! Cottonelle® CleanRipple Texture is patented and perfect for post-long-run-bum, even if you chafed miserably. And, as we are (mostly) all runner here, you know that the "don't trust the fart" signs may very likely have applied to you. Cottonelle® CleanRipple Texture is a proprietary innovation on all Cottonelle® toilet paper and flushable cleansing cloths that is designed to remove more (than the leading value brand) to get you clean. Only Cottonelle® has CleanRipple Texture designed to clean better, so you're clean enough to go commando. Clean up, change clothes, start anew. And then get brunch.
Ensure you are ready for anything after a run with this packing list! @cottonelle #gocottonelle #ad Click To Tweet
Something else that would be the perfect follow up to your long run? How about some yoga and meditation? Wanderlust 108 gives you the chance to do just that by creating a Mindful Triathlon of 5k run, yoga, and meditation in a beautiful setting. This weekend Wanderlust 108 is coming to Chicago, and I will be there thanks to Cottonelle®! Come and join me and Jeana from A Sweat Life as we get loose, get sweaty, get centered, and then get cleaned up! Sign up here!

One thing that I left off of the earlier list is marine supplies. This doesn't mean that they're getting a boat in their holiday stocking. (Sorry guys!) The truth is that even kayakers and canoe enthusiasts need some basics.
A GPS unit is one of the best gifts for campers that you can give. It can help them find their way back to camp on land or on water.
Waterproof binoculars hold up to rain or being dropped in the water. They can be a vital help to campers who need to quickly identify wildlife.
Of course, personal flotation devices are also on our list of gifts for campers. Any time a boat hits the water all occupants need to be wearing a flotation device. This includes fishing boats as well as canoes and devices for canines as well as humans.

More on:
In my forthcoming book Democracy in Retreat, I examine how, contrary to public perception in the wake of the Arab Spring, democracy has in reality become weaker, less effective, and less supported by the public around the developing world over the past decade. The book examines how middle classes in many nations have turned against democracy, how "elected autocrats" have manipulated democracy to essentially entrench authoritarian rule, how technology has failed to help combat democratic regression, and how failed democracy promotion policies by the United States have contributed to the democratic decline. Democracy in Retreat is being published by the Council on Foreign Relations and Yale University Press, and will be released in early 2013.
An excerpt from the book is now available on Asia Sentinel; you can read it here.

Jaime drove us to Washington D.C again and this time, to visit the National Museum of Natural History where there are dinosaur fossils and many historic. She wasn't familiar with the direction to the museum. Connor who was also in the car sensed that and asked his mum if she had lost her way. He couldn't join us for the museum tour as Frank wasn't free that day and he wanted to capture the excitements of Connor's first sight at dinosaur exhibits. So we had to tell a little lie to Connor as he kept asking if we were going to see dinosaurs.
The National Museum of Natural History is administered by the Smithsonian Institution and admission is free. The museum's collections total over 125 million specimens of plants, animals, fossils, minerals, rocks, meteorites and human cultural artefacts. It is the second most popular of all of the Smithsonian museums and is also home to about 185 professional natural history scientists — the largest group of scientists dedicated to the study of the natural and cultural history in the world.
Human artifacts.
The most interesting exhibit – DINOSAURS!!!
In the popular Dinosaur Exhibit, we saw assembled fossils of dinosaurs from between 144 million and 213 million years ago. Most of the fossils are real and seven actually resulted in the naming of new species. (But we really couldn't tell which are real or not.)
Apparently, this humongous fish died after swallowing a smaller fish which still remains inside its predator's stomach.
Hall of Mammals
I wasn't really into museum stuff that day, so I got a little impatient and we left the museum after a while. We found our way to the nearby Smithsonian Metro station and took the metro to D.C Chinatown which is just a few stations away. The metro station was gloomily dark.
It was evening when we reached Chinatown. There were many Blacks in Chinatown too, all bigger and taller than us. We saw a few restaurants but not sure if the food and price were right for us.
We didn't wander around much as it was getting late and we felt quite uneasy staying there any longer so we left within 15mins. We took the metro to the station nearest to Jaime's house and she picked us from there.
Frank bought baseball training equipment for Connor and Connor wanted us to play with him in the backyard. The backyard is very big and each family in the area owns part of the backyard.
Jaime feeding Devin with baby food and he had got his food all around his mouth.
Devin could understand simple Mandarin like "pai pai shou" (clap hands), as Jaime has been speaking Mandarin to him.
Connor couldn't understand Mandarin and he didn't want to learn it at his age now. Jaime said it was "too late" to make Connor learn Chinese.
The surrounding of the house.
Houses there have no gates, not like most of our HDB flats where we have our gates securely padlocked most of the time. The family's door is mostly made of glass and the door key is still intact with the door lock. I was puzzled and asked Frank: "Wasn't it dangerous that a burglar could just break the glass door and enter the house?" Frank replied that every home could have a gun and the resident has the right to shoot an intruder who enters the house; thus, the chance of someone trying to break into a home would have to think twice of being shot too.
Beautiful flowers and hydrangeas blooming in the summer.
Next… It's all about shopping at malls and Leesburg Premium Outlets at Virginia!

Prestatyn has been one of the most famous seaside resorts in North Wales since the trains first arrived in 1848. Holiday-makers poured in from the smoke-filled cities of Victorian Britain to take the fresh Welsh air and follow the craze for sea bathing. They're still doing much the same today. After all, a magnificent promenade with three separate beaches and four miles of golden sand never goes out of fashion. But there's a lot more to Prestatyn than seagulls and sandcastles. The town is tucked between the sea and the wild flowers and ancient woodland of Prestatyn Hillside. And it ends with a view that's breathtaking in more ways than one.
Prestatyn has many layers. It's not just a coastal resort – it's also a busy shopping centre with a brand-new retail park and a quirky independent High Street. It's a gateway to the great outdoors, lying at the northern tip of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It's a heritage town with the remains of a Roman bath house that's nearly 2,000 years old. And more than ever it's a destination for walkers. Prestatyn is at the start of Offa's Dyke Path National Trail, which traces the eighth-century handiwork of King Offa of Mercia for the entire length of Wales. This town trail follows it right up the High Street. Stop at the Hillside Shelter or carry on all the way to Chepstow, it's up to you.
The video below shows you a bit about the town and gives you taste of what to expect from the beautiful town.

Sculptra dermal filler, recently introduced in the United States, helps to augment the appearance of indented chin surfaces, aging skin folds, sunken eyes, and hollowed cheeks. Sculptra is equally effective in treating smile lines and other facial wrinkles. Sculptra can stand as an individual treatment or be combined with Botox or Dysport to target a different areas or the face.
Sculptra is a Poly-L-lactic acid substance and a natural form of this material produces itself in our muscles when we exercise. This facial filler works by increasing thickness of the skin, is biocompatible, and is easily absorbed by the body.
Sculptra produces results that are apparent in three to six treatments and can last for up to two years. Facial Aesthetics trained clinicians in Aurora can perform Sculptra procedure using a topical numbing cream while some clients may require a local anesthetic. The dermal filler procedure is fast, usually between 15 to 30 minutes. The Aurora spa technique gives skin tightening results.
Sculptra is one of our most popular Aurora liquid facelifts around. Sculptra is more than a dermal filler because it can replace the volume loss that happens as we age. There is no longer a need to look old when you can turn back the hands of time.
Contact us today to schedule a consultation on how you can re-inflate the volume in your skin.

"Don't wait until you actually retire," is the advice of Tracey Lundell, with Sea Glass Wealth Advisory Group when asked about retirement planning.
"We love to talk to people in the five years leading up to retirement, because a lot of decisions that people make in those five years can have a significant impact on financial outcomes and cash flow."
Sea Glass Wealth Advisory Group is part of TD Wealth, Private Investment Advice and offers investment planning and goal setting for the retirement years, whether retirement occurs as planned or earlier than expected.
"Envisioning what you want your retirement to look like," Tracey explains, "is one of the things we do when we discuss your investment portfolio."
Tracey and her colleagues, Kristina Thomas and Susan Wilson, have found that retirement tends to come in two waves. First, there's usually lots of travel. After a few years, clients tend to settle down and find rewarding things to do, such as volunteer work.
"Retirement always seems to cost a lot in the beginning, when we're living our dreams of being able to travel more," Tracey notes, "and then again at the end, when medical expenses become a worry. One of the questions we get asked most often is 'will I outlive my money?' We identify all the sources of income, including equity in the home, and try to give clients peace of mind about the financial aspects of retirement."
Those income sources can be government and private pensions, personal savings as well as equity in their home.
"If people decide not to downsize," Tracey says, "part of the process is to identify all the possible solutions to unlock the equity in your home. After identifying the options, we analyze the client's situation and formulate a personalized recommendation."
Flexibility is key, as is building liquidity into a plan.
"Don't lock yourself into a situation that you can't change," Tracey advises. "We need to build flexibility and liquidity into your plan in order to take care of any unforeseen circumstances."

I haven't been in a forum with Tara and so it was an especial privilege to read her wonderful story in this beautifully produced book which would grace any book shelf and make ideal bedtime reading. BUY PANGEA
1. Tara, Like so many of us writers, you left the day job. That must have a tough decision. What was that, how has that decision impacted on your life and do you see yourself ever going back into that job?
Yes, I did leave the day job. I was working as a lawyer at a corporate firm in the city in London. A variety of factors contributed to my decision to leave, but my then in-progress novel was a big one. At the time, it seemed very scary and dramatic to leave – I had been with this firm for seven years and had spent a lot of time and money getting my law degree – but now it seems like the smartest thing I ever did. In terms of impact, it had an obvious financial impact. We went from a two-income family to one-income and we've had to adjust our lives accordingly – leaving London, for example – but not working corporate hours has enriched my life in countless other ways. I now get to raise my children and write, and no amount of money is better than that. So to answer your last question – no, I don't think I'll ever go back to being a lawyer. Never say never, of course, but right now I have no plans to go back.
2. When did you begin to write, what inspires you and how do you find time?
I've written for as long as I can remember. I've always been a voracious reader – I was one of those nerdy kids who always had a book in front of my nose – and writing stories was a natural partner to that. I can't say I was a very good or successful writer, however. In university, I wrote a lot but never finished anything. Over the years, I just kept writing – it was sort of my guilty secret, all of these half-finished stories and little scribblings in the back of journals. It wasn't until I hit my 30's and became a mother that I tried to get more serious with writing – which meant, for me, editing and re-working and revising and revising some more. I've always had a lot of ideas. Everything inspires me. It's rare to get through the day without jotting some story idea down. In terms of finding the time to write, these days it is a struggle. I have three young children so I write whenever they are at school or sleeping. I've learned to be very un-precious about my writing time. I can write with the TV blaring, the radio on, children running at warp speed past my desk, even in a moving car (as a passenger, of course…).
3. What is your PANGEA story called and how did that one come to be written?
My Pangea story is called "Signs of Our Redemption" and it's about a woman named Josephine Bell who is a slave in Virginia before the Civil War. I wrote this story as I was working on my novel (The House Girl, to be published in US and Canada in Feb. 2013), which centres on the same character. As I was figuring out Josephine's voice, I wrote a number of short stories in first person to try to hear her and better understand her. I ended up using the third person in the novel, but this story I thought stood on its own.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading it Tara and it resonnated in parts with my own story.
4. As a writer do you set yourself goals or just go with the flow – and do you ever suffer from writer's block?
No, I don't set myself goals as in – I must do 5000 words today. It's more just a feeling of needing to work more on something, or just itching to get a character or a story down on paper. I'm currently working on my second novel but I haven't had a lot of writing time (curse the summer school holidays!) and I'm just going crazy with these voices in my head. Come September, I'll be a fiend in front of the laptop.
5. What are you currently working on?
I'm working on my second novel. It's about family, sex, death and love. How's that for a teaser?
All the best with that Tara.
6. What is the best advice you would offer to an aspiring writer?
The best advice I can give is just to write, even if it's bad. Just keep at it. Writing is like anything else: you've got to work at it to create something worthwhile.
Thank you Tara for allowing me to interview you. It's a privilege to be with you in the pages of PANGEA.

Victim's name: Michael "Mike" Rust, 56
Missing from: Saguache County
Investigative agency: Saguache County Sheriff's Office
Date missing: March 31, 2009
Status: Endangered missing
Suspect: none identified
Mike Rust custom-designed mountain bikes with front wheels that were larger than in the back for better maneuvering on rugged terrain.
Mike built the frames and welded the durable but unpolished bikes together himself. He called them "shorties" because the wheels were close together, enabling mountain bikers to make sharp turns on dirt trails.
He sold his creations in a Salida store he and a partner owned called Colorado Cyclery.
Mike, who built his first bike when he was in the seventh grade, was inducted into the Colorado Mountain Bike Hall of Fame in 1991. According to the group's site, he placed first in the Colorado State Games Mountain Bike Races in 1989. He and his five brothers rode "ordinaries" in Dublin, Ireland for the St. Patrick's Day Parade. He also had a sister.

By Barry Maher
The strategy of being your own guru sometimes involves innovative thinking and finding innovative ways to fill the glass. Today conventional wisdom tells us we have to think outside the box. But truly innovative, outside the box thinking, comes from questioning conventional wisdom, questioning the basic premises we all tend to agree on.
Sometimes the clichés, the buzzwords and the management fads seem to take a life of their own. How many companies seemed to go through downsizing and/or re-engineering for the sake of downsizing or re-engineering: with no specific, well-thought out goals and no clear picture of the long term effects? They were bound and determined to save money, no matter how much it cost.
One of the authors of the original book on e-engineering the corporation, wrote a second book a few years later and said, in effect, "Stop it! You're doing it all wrong."
Substituting clichés for thought can cripple business as badly as it cripples government. A few years back, when focus was the word of the moment, I sat through a lengthy meeting in which a regional VP instructed his people to focus on 27 different variables. Twenty-seven! The man had no idea what the word focus even meant. And neither he nor his subordinates had any idea what he really wanted from them.
Nowadays, we've all learned that we have to embrace change, and we've learned it with such devotion that change has sometimes become an end in itself rather than a means to an end.
"We've been told so often that we're living in an era of constant change that by gosh we are going to change–constantly," is the way one frustrated manufacturing executive put it. "So we change the good and the excellent as well as the mediocre and the bad. I don't know how it is with other companies, but around here we're sacrificing too much of what we do best. Ask why, and the only justification you're given–and as managers the only explanation we give our people–comes in the form of the latest management cliché. Whatever that might be this week."
"It's management by parody," one of his peers added. "Because what they're doing is usually a parody of the original idea that generated the cliché in the first place. That's why Dilbert has become so popular. Not because it's so outlandish, because it's so true."
"I'll give you an old cliché," the first executive said. "We're re-inventing wheels everywhere you look. Only with the new paradigms the wheels can't be round. Round wheels, that was the old, inside-the-box thinking. So the new wheels don't roll as well as the old ones did."
Sometimes getting outside the box means looking back into some of those old boxes we may have abandoned. Thinking outside the box means opening up potential solutions. If you ignore what's currently in the box, simply because it's inside the box, you may succeed in being novel at the expense of the tried and true.
Round wheels roll exceedingly well. No one who's their own guru should be afraid to admit that.

According to ministry records, 1,116 kidney transplants, 48 liver transplants, 13 heart transplants,1,401 cornea transplants and one pancreas transplant have been performed in Viet Nam since 1992. — VNS

Katrina Jade enjoys her detentionPosted by admin in Handjob Porn
Sometimes a naughty little cum slut like Katrina Jade just needs to be taught a lesson and that's exactly the kind of situation that she's just gotten herself into at school. She was sitting at the back of the class looking at handjob movies on her phone when she got caught by her teacher. Rather than just let it slide, he decided that this was the last straw in a long line of infractions by the young girl. He sentenced her to an evening of detention and had every intention of making her write out her cock love confession on the board when she bent over just a little bit too much and he got a straight on view of her perfect ass. His dick immediately started to swell and she saw it all through his pants. Sensing a way to make her time at school a little bit more enjoyable, she pounced on the opportunity and bent right over his desk to show him everything that her tight little young body had to offer him. He accepted it happily and sat right down with his pants off as she got on her knees and used all of the brand new handjob skills that she had just learned during his class on him. Needless to say that when his cock exploded and covered her pretty face in this thick and gooey cum, he made a promise that he would never ever forget his first Katrina Jade handjob.

It took me a while to warm up to this book, primarily because Heather O'Neill uses way too many metaphors. Her metaphors line up at the edge of the cliff like lemmings and fling themselves into the story. The strong-box where her metaphors are stored has a broken lock and all the words have escaped and are multiplying wantonly. Her house is decorated with metaphor throw rugs that grow like jungle vines and choke out all the furniture.
Sort of like that.
But then, a strange thing happened. About halfway into The Girl Who Was Saturday Night all those metaphors, all that imaginative language, started to impart a feel of magic realism to the story. Not the over-the-top surrealistic magic realism of a Michel Gondry film, say, but a more subdued, more Canadian form of the narrative style. I let myself just relax and enjoy the fantastical ride.
Set against the backdrop of the 1995 Quebec referendum (the one in which the non vote won with a mere 50.58% majority), The Girl Who Was Saturday Night is the tale of Nouschka Tremblay, nineteen-year-old former child-star who, along with her twin brother Nicholas, is trying to move beyond childhood fame. Abandoned as newborns by their 14-year-old mother, the twins were used as performance props by their wildly famous folk-singer father (now a desperately washed-up ex-con)and raised in a cat-filled apartment by their increasingly dotty grandfather.
Nouschka is a character who grows on you. Smart, but a little flighty, charming and matter-of-fact about her casual sexuality, she is trying to forge her own path in the world, while maintaining the intensely close relationship she shares with Nicholas. Things don't always go well. But then they do. One incident in the novel made me gasp audibly.
The Girl Who Was Saturday Night is a charming stranger who will pick your pocket while asking you for directions to the Metro. Images tumble from its pages like a basket of balloons kicked down the stairs by a petulant child. And there is always a stray cat climbing in through the open window to curl up on your bed.

So last week's meal plan went really well! I stuck to it almost to a tee! And those snack boxes are really working for me. I did not go out to eat for lunch at all last week!!! That's damn near a miracle!
From last week's meal plan - the Frisch's cornbread was a #fail - so I subbed out and made a pasta salad which turned out delicious! Other than that - the only variation from the plan was Friday we swapped out King Crab for LaRosa's because I was too beat to cook.
For this week - I have a busy busy week - so there's only a few days I'll be cooking - but I have everything decided:
|Photo courtesy of Olive Garden
Sunday - One of my favorite recipes is this copy cat version of the Olive Garden Pasta Fagioli. It is truly the only recipe that nails this soup to a tee and I've been making it for years. The best part is - it makes enough so I have leftovers for a few lunches! My tummy is growling just thinking about it!
Monday - I'm headed up to Crooked Handle Brewing in Springboro to do some video for my friends at Historic BBQ and learn a bit about Smoked Meats and Beer!
Tuesday - I've had this lemon dill sauce in my cupboard for a bit from IKEA and it seems like such an easy dinner - that I have to make it. I picked up some salmon so I'm ready to go with it! I'll probably have their delish veggie cakes as a side - I'm kind of obsessed with them.
Wednesday - I'm hosting an event for my friends at Gold Star Chili. They're introducing a brand new vegetarian chili and I cannot wait to try it!
Thursday - Stouffer's sent me all the flavors of their new Sauce Duos so I think we'll try the Teriyaki one with some chicken and broccoli.
Friday - I'll be working! Hooray! There's a new brand that I'm doing some work with for my day job called ClearVia. It's a pretty cool product - it's a probiotic that you take after you've been drinking and it metabolizes the alcohol into vinegar so you don't feel like dookie the next morning! I don't really drink much but the folks in our office that do say this thing really works! So I'll be at the Cincinnati International Wine Festival sharing samples of this fun new product!
So that's my weekly meal plan - I hope it goes off as well as last weeks!

Lots going on this week in the quest for services, support and understanding for ASD. Some day it all needs to be documented publicly because much of what goes on is scandalous and can get me down. The brutal cuts that are coming are going to have a devastating effect on many vulnerable people who deserve so much better in a civilised society. For many families living with disability there are cuts on a number of fronts. I was informed this week that the local authority I work for will be imposing a substantial pay cut on me and many others. We will oppose these actions as vigorously as possible but last week's election results have given something of a mandate for these types of cuts.
However there were some positives this week too. Today I found out I had scraped a pass in my second module of a post graduate certificate in autism. That's two down one to go! Given what's going on in our lives I was happy with the pass and the fact that my feedback stated " The student does meet the basic criteria well and the content of the information meets the necessary standard. It is the presentation which reduces the grade of the submission." Well I guess sometimes your presentation just goes out the window when you are an autism parent 😳
Now that the exams are over and I don't start back till September I am looking forward to a long summer of partying 😄. Well maybe not! I remember my final exams nearly a quarter of a century ago and the crazy celebrations. Actually I don't but I have it on good authority it was a wild night!
We also had another local autism support group this week and it is starting to take shape I feel. Slowly our numbers are building and it is great to have a chat and cuppa with other parents and carers. It is incredible the experience and knowledge that emerges at such events and I am proud to be part of it all. We hope to make a very positive contribution to the lives of those living with A.S.D.
Let me end by reflecting on and acknowledging the amazing things achieved every day by those with autism and their parents and carers. It is not always easy and the challenges are often great but the effort is easily worth it when we succeed. Whether that is securing a service or resource, overcoming a sensory or social difficulty or just getting through another day. I salute you all even if our authorities and politicians so often do not!
