A little more on acai berry powder
Acai berries are an increasingly popular and very tasty source of nutrients that come from an Amazonian tree. Due to quick rancidity resulting from their high fat content, these small, blue berries are not available fresh outside of that region. Although some suppliers do freeze acai berry pulp, the most common way to enjoy the health benefits of acai berry is to purchase the powdered acai berry pulp in which the seeds are best not included. In other words, our nutritious, natural and organic acai berry powder!

Yet what is any ocean but a multitude of drops?
I simply devoured Cloud Atlas. I will not say that this book "changed my life" or anything of that nature, but I was transported to every environment and into the lives of each character.
Mitchell splits the novel into six small novellas through out and each has a very distinct voice, which I feel must be hard for some writers and even more so with this novel. To have everything connected and yet for everyone to have their own voice. I will say that the novella titled Sloosha's Crossin" An' Ev'rythin' After was the hardest for me to read. It is written in very broken English with a bizarre accent attached, there is only one such novella so it pays to muscle through it.
It is very easy for everyone to have different views of this book because I feel like it deals with so many different themes, reincarnation being at the fore front. There are certain characters in the novel who all possess the same birthmark on their shoulder, coincidence? Also, certain feelings they get while being around objects or places that other characters have been, the feeling of having been there already. While I do believe reincarnation plays a big role in this book, I feel that the common thread is simply "everything is connected". Characters finding the diary of another, passing ships that another has been on, seeing films about another based upon another characters' life. One can liken it to "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon." Everyone and everything is connected and I ,for one, am a full believer in that mantra.
Like I said before, there are a few places in the book that lag a little bit and they feel like they take forever to read. Then there are those bits that fly by and you just want them to keep going and going and going, but every great book must end. I was a bit unhappy with the way the end was turning out until I got to the last line that sums up everything perfectly. I felt like the end was a bit rushed and he was trying to pack WAY too much into just a few pages. Either way, it is a book I will not soon forget and will recommend to others. I have not seen the movie but I am glad that I read the book before doing so.

Spartanburg Water hopes this section of the website provides you with a better understanding of our sanitary sewer system, and how it helps improve many different facets of our community. We are fortunate to live in a country where the highest standards are held for sanitation. Many third-world countries are rated as such because they lack access to clean drinking water and sanitary sewer systems.
Spartanburg Water owns and operates a vibrant network of wastewater treatment facilities throughout Spartanburg County, strategically located to provide service and growth opportunities for the community, whether you live in Pacolet, Landrum, Reidville, Boiling Springs or the City of Spartanburg.
Wastewater from homes and businesses travels through 940 miles of sewer lines to get to our treatment facilities. Wastewater Collection is responsible for operating and maintaining the sewer system, including cleaning manholes, conducting smoke and dye testing to reduce infiltration and inflow, and other corrective and preventative maintenance activities.
Wastewater treatment is an important part of Spartanburg Water's mission to provide the Spartanburg area with safe, clean water. The primary function of wastewater treatment is to ensure the protection of waterways and streams for the enjoyment and use of Spartanburg's citizens. Approximately 14.3 million gallons of wastewater is treated daily from this department. A dedicated team works in the areas of operations, Industrial Pretreatment and Solids Management that create the Wastewater Treatment department.
A core area of wastewater treatment is operations. The function of operations is to receive raw wastewater from our customers through the collection system, clean it and return it back to the environment. The operation of these facilities is a 24/7/365 job and requires constant oversight, attention and dedication. Both groups of operators spend many hours per day traveling to and from and operating these facilities to ensure compliance and efficient treatment. The treatment process typically begins with the removal of trash and heavy solids at the headworks where the wastewater enters the facility. The headworks is composed of a combination of mechanical screens, tanks and pumps that remove grit, rags, plastics, trash and other materials not suitable for biological treatment. Next, the waste stream flows to aeration tanks where a delicately-controlled mixture of oxygen, wastewater and bacteria cleans the water by biologically breaking down organic and inorganic materials that would be harmful to the receiving streams. After aeration, the water flows to settling tanks called clarifiers where the solids are separated from the clean water. The clean water is then disinfected with either ultraviolet light or chlorine to destroy pathogens and returned to the environment to be reused. Most of the solids are recycled to the aeration process to continue the treatment cycle, while a portion of the solids are removed from the process and sent to the Solids Management area.
Solids that are removed from the process are sent to the solids handling area at the A. Manning Lynch facility. The solids management program includes the collection and hauling of solids from all facilities, processing and conditioning of the solids for disposal/reuse and oversight of final disposal/reuse of over 14,000 wet tons per year. Solids that are sent to the solids management area are prepared for either landfill disposal or land application reuse-depending on operational and cost factors. Before biosolids are hauled to the landfill, water from the solids is reduced to form a cake-like material. This process is performed chemically and mechanically through the use of centrifuges or belt presses. The reduction in water is necessary to remove weight and mass from the solids to reduce transportation and disposal costs, based on weight and mass.

Masque Youth Theatre was first introduced to me through the Summer School which I attended last year. The time I spent there, meeting new people and participating in the group games and activities strengthened my desire to become a member.
At first I had little confidence in myself and my ability to make new friends, but I found the members of the Youth Theatre friendly and welcoming. I was quickly accepted. Since joining, I have felt a real sense of belonging and the friendships within the group make me feel like I'm part of a family.
It wasn't until we began rehearsing for Ringtime did I think my new found confidence would be tested. The prospect of learning lines, taking direction and the thought of an entire audience looking at me as I delivered it all, was terrifying. Never had I performed in any sort of production before and I felt completely out of my comfort-zone. However, my director gave me constructive comments and the other members of my group who I acted alongside also gave me areas that I could improve on and the support I needed. Of course on the opening night, I was nervous, but I experienced a huge buzz from being under the spotlight and even when I was backstage, it was still exciting.
Now in my second year at Masque I can think back to how I felt and wonder if the new members will get as much enjoyment from their first production as I did. I look forward myself to performing again, this year and many years to come.By Bekah Robinson

[email protected]
The Georgia Board of Education requires the development and operation of gifted education programs from public school students (grades K – 12). Long County is committed to the belief that every student has a right to receive an education based on individual needs. The primary purpose of the Gifted Program in Long County is to appropriately identify such gifted students (K – 12) and provide an enriched, challenging and differentiated approach to mastery of curriculum standards. Programs for gifted students assure that the educational environment provides students the opportunity to extend competencies in the areas of cognitive skills, learning skills, research and reference skills, communication skills, and metacognitive skills, and creativity and imagination skills beyond the experience of the regular classroom.
A copy of the Long County School System Gifted Education Program Procedures and Operation Manual is available to the public for review at the Long County Board of Education and at each Long County school.

School psychologists help children and youth succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. They collaborate with educators, parents, and other professionals to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments for all students that strengthen connections between home and school.
School psychologists are highly trained in both psychology and education. They must complete a minimum of a Specialist-level degree program and must be certified by the state in which they work.
What School Psychologists Do:
School psychologists work to find the best solution for each student and situation; they use different strategies to address student needs and to improve school and district-wide support systems. Specific roles and responsibilities include:
Collaborate with teachers, parents, and administrators to find effective solutions to learning and behavior problems.
Help others understand child development and how it affects learning and behavior.
Strengthen working relationships between teachers, parents, and service providers in the community.
Evaluate eligibility for special services.
Assess academic skills and aptitude for learning.

School Counselors
What Elementary School Counselors Do
Elementary School Students' Developmental Needs:
The elementary years are a time when students begin to develop their academic self-concept and their feelings of competence and confidence as learners. They are beginning to develop decision-making, communication and life skills, as well as character values. It is also a time when students develop and acquire attitudes toward school self, peers, social groups and family. Comprehensive developmental school counseling programs provide education, prevention and intervention services, which are integrated into all aspects of children's lives. Early identification and intervention of children's academic and personal/social needs is essential in removing barriers to learning and in promoting academic achievement. The knowledge, attitudes and skills that students acquire in the areas of academic, career and personal/social development during these elementary years serve as the foundation for future success.

What Middle School Counselors Do
Middle School Students' Developmental Needs: Middle school is an exciting, yet challenging time for students, their parents and teachers. During this passage from childhood to adolescence, middle school students are characterized by a need to explore a variety of interests, connecting their learning in the classroom to its practical application in life and work; high levels of activity coupled with frequent fatigue due to rapid growth; a search for their own unique identity as they begin turning more frequently to peers rather than parents for ideas and affirmation; extreme sensitivity to the comments from others; and heavy reliance on friends to provide comfort, understanding and approval.

What High School Counselors Do
High School Students' Developmental Needs: High school is the final transition into adulthood and the world of work as students begin separating from parents and exploring and defining their independence. Students are deciding who they are, what they do well, and what they will do when they graduate. During these adolescent years, students are evaluating their strengths, skills and abilities. The biggest influence is their peer group. They are searching for a place to belong and rely on peer acceptance and feedback. They face increased pressures regarding risk behaviors involving sex, alcohol and drugs while exploring the boundaries of more acceptable behavior and mature, meaningful relationships. They need guidance in making concrete and compounded decisions. They must deal with academic pressures as they face high-stakes testing, the challenges of college admissions, the scholarship and financial aid application process and entrance into a competitive job market.

If it is a submissive girl you want to book for your pleasure, Asian escorts London will probably be your natural choice. We would say that the moment you do so, you become a victim of stereotype and limit the scope of your enjoyment to a great extent. Not all Asian elites London are subservient and inappropriate to type cast them. It will be as wrong to say that all Caucasian girls are sexually aggressive.
However, if you narrate your requirements while booking the service of your escort to the agency, they will probably match it with one girl who is naturally submissive. But, if she is not one, then also she will smoothly slip into the role to please her client. This is again another trait of Asian women that they are not stereotyped. The girls love pleasing their partners. Most of the girls have chosen their profession and are committed to do their job sincerely. These gorgeous ladies love to get truly involved in every act they play.
In fact, many people love to indulge in submissive role play with their Asian escorts London. It is one of the most popular types of service requested to an Asian escort. The escort treats her clients with utmost care and she will often make him feel the king of an empire. So, if it gives you pleasure and makes you emotionally charged, do not hesitate to be a part in such a role play. She will fulfil your every desire till the time you are with her.
Modern day Asian elites London however love to dabble with conventions. You will find them to be as aggressive and demanding as any other girls but their aggression will never cause displeasure to you. They will not do anything to hurt your ego or will never behave rudely with you. But, you need to be respectful and show your gratitude. We know of certain Asian escort who flatly refused to entertain a man who behaved very badly with her and tried to cause bodily pain. So, certainly they have an open and independent mind and will please her man if he reciprocates her behaviour towards her.
At the end of the day, these escorts are professionals and will do anything to fulfil your fantasies and desires. You cannot expect them to obey you if you ask them to do something that is objectionable. Little bit of understanding will help both the man and her escort to develop a warm and enjoyable relationship and take pleasure in being each other's company. Find the right girl and your joy will know no bounds in the presence of her. Be sensitive to her, compliment her on her beauty or her amazing skills to satisfy you and she will appreciate your efforts. Think rationally and talk openly to the girl. When she knows you a little more and perhaps a lot about your dreams and fetishes you will see how beautifully she lets you enjoy the moments with her.
Many people prefer to have Asian elites London (http://www.london-dolls.com) for submissive role play. But there are many other ways to have fun with Asian escorts London (http://www.london-dolls.com).

Field Trip
Created | Updated Jul 8, 2018
Field Trip
My daughter went on a field trip this morning, excited but complaining about the two-hour coach journey to get there. so what if....
The pitted and scarred porthole, although limiting detail, did nothing to diminish the awe Sanjit felt as she squinted to take in the sight.
Even at this altitude, the fish moved with effortless grace, translucent fins and sails twisting to make the most of the ammonia currents and eddies.
The ship rocked as one of the larger females came within ten meters, the force of her passing pushing the craft aside with ease.
Sanjit unconsciously counted off the seconds as the opalescent creature passed her line of sight, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, the main body tapered into a pulsating gossamer tail that took a further twelve seconds to pass, each glowing pulse expelling and igniting hydrazine, an organic rocket propelled life form, truly awesome.
The ship angled away from the swarm, gaining altitude. Thousands of the strange Cyaneidae whirling around in their own lightning storm. The swarm now measuring a hundred and thirty kilometres wide and growing as the creatures gathered to mate.
Accelerating away, Sanjit stayed, glued to the window until the attendant gently ushered her back to her seat, buckled in for the return, she quickly made a few notes on her pad before sleep took her and the long journey home began.
As the ship entered hyperspace, Sanjit smiled as the chemicals entered her system, all in all it had been a pretty cool school trip!

Find the program length for you
Lately, we've been hearing from folks who want to know what we think is the perfect program length for an international volunteer experience with Cross-Cultural Solutions. You know, the international volunteering "sweet spot." After checking in with our alums, in-country teams, and international volunteer experts here at CCS HQ, we've got the lowdown on how it feels to be a volunteer for 1 week, 2, 3, all the way up to 12!
1 or 2 weeks: If you're hoping to do it all, see it all, and change it all, but don't have much time to spare, our 1 and 2 week programs are a great fit. Volunteers enjoy an impactful volunteer assignment, organized cultural activities, and free time on some afternoons and most evenings. Volunteers who enroll for 2 weeks also get a full weekend of free time.
Whether you're a student looking for an alternative spring break or a mid-career professional in search of the perfect way to spend those vacation days, a 1 or 2 week experience offers you a chance to participate in cultural programming, get to know the people at your volunteer site, have some time to explore, and play an important role in longer-term impact.
3 or 4 weeks: If you've got more time to spend in your volunteer destination of choice, a 3 or 4 week volunteer abroad opportunity is a great option. You'll have a chance to settle into your volunteer assignment a bit more and you'll also enjoy 3 to 4 weeks' worth of cultural activities, all included in your CCS experience.
Volunteers who enroll for a 3 or 4 week volunteer abroad program also get multiple opportunities to explore on the weekends. So whether you chose to set off and discover more of your host country or stay close to the Home-Base to explore your new neighborhood, your free weekends give you a unique opportunity to put all of your new experiences and cultural knowledge to work, and pick up even more along the way!
5 to 8 weeks: If you've got time to volunteer for 5 to 8 weeks, you'll have a chance to get to know your destination of choice much more intimately. Not only will your volunteer assignment begin to feel like a natural part of your daily routine, you'll likely have discovered your favorite bakery or cafe, and other favorite spots in the neighborhood. Since you'll have already done the camel trek in Morocco or visited the Taj Mahal in India (maybe during your second or third weekend in-country), you'll have time to explore some of the paths less traveled during your weekend free time.
9 to 12 weeks: While our longer-term international volunteer opportunities are perfect for gappers and college-aged volunteers on summer break, you don't have to be a student or a recent grad to enjoy all the benefits of our longer-term volunteer abroad opportunities. We've got plenty of alums that enrolled during a career break, or as a part of their much-anticipated retirement. We've even got some enterprising alums that were able to negotiate a brief "sabbatical" with their employer in order to volunteer for 2 or 3 months, and return from the experience job intact. In fact, almost all of our volunteers seem to have the same bit of advice to impart to future volunteers like you: Stay longer!
"I got so much from it because I was there for a longer time. I want to go back. It became my home."
Susanne, Thailand volunteer, 12 weeks
"I wasn't even sure what I was going to do in Tanzania for 12 weeks, and by the end of the experience, I could have easily stayed for 12 more!"
Hannah, Tanzania volunteer, 12 weeks
Let us help you pick the perfect volunteer abroad program destination and duration that fits your interests and availability. Just contact one of our Program Advisors today!

By Bradford Thomas
Recently, I spent some time performing a highly complex case study of a well-known international entity to better understand leadership failure. Mystery Incorporated, a division of the Hanna-Barbera conglomerate, is a private investigation firm with five employees (well, four if you want to contend that a canine member of the team is not legally employable) based in Crystal Cove. Mystery Incorporated has received international notoriety from a series of documentary films about their investigations, including "Jeepers, It's the Creeper," "Spooky Space Kook," and "Which Witch is Which?"
Although Mystery Incorporated has a perfect track record with their clients, a thorough analysis of the documentary films reveals serious failures in the organization's management—in particular, supervisor Fred Jones. This case study will examine some of the negative leadership behaviors exhibited by Mr. Jones and their impact on the employees and clients of Mystery Incorporated.
The devil—or swamp witch—is in the details. Mr. Jones is quite effective at analyzing a situation and coming up with a plan to uncover the identities of perpetrators. His plans tend to involve complex, multi-phase designs that require each member of his team to work in unison with precision.
Unfortunately, Mr. Jones' plans are seldom executed without a problem, invariably due to individuals on his team not fully understanding their roles and responsibilities.
Like many leaders, Mr. Jones would see better results if he were to check for understanding with each member of his team. An effective way to do this is to ask each team member to provide a summary of his or her responsibilities prior to initiating action.
Scooby snacks are not an effective influence strategy. Mr. Jones often has a difficult time convincing two of his direct reports—Norville "Shaggy" Rogers and Scooby Doo—to perform their basic job responsibilities. When Mr. Rogers and Mr. Doo refuse to do their assignments, Mr. Jones resorts to offering them culinary incentives—typically in the form of Scooby Snacks. What started out as an occasional incentive has escalated to the point where Mr. Rogers and Mr. Doo will not do any assignment for less than eight Scooby Snacks.
Bribing Mr. Rogers and Mr. Doo with Scooby Snacks reinforces their behavior while eroding Mr. Jones' credibility with the rest of his team. To fix this Mr. Jones needs to adjust his influence strategy so that it directly appeals to their needs and motivations. If he determines that their motivations are ultimately in conflict with the job assignment, he may need to reevaluate their suitability for employment.
Help them "see" a better way. The documentaries show that Mr. Jones is also ineffective in dealing with persistent negative behaviors within his team. For example, Mr. Jones has made no attempt to address Velma Dinkley's habit of losing her prescription glasses during critical moments in the investigation leaving her blind to her surroundings. Even worse, not only does Mr. Jones not make an attempt to coach his employee, Ms. Daphne Blake, to be more careful about stumbling into traps set by perpetrators, he goes so far as to encourage the rest of the team to make fun of her clumsiness by calling her "Danger-Prone Daphne."
Though these 'meddling kids' persevere, they waste valuable time and resources due to leadership inefficiency. Supervisors are responsible for addressing negative behaviors—such as persistent tardiness or falling into the clutches of the Ghost of Redbeard—before they become established habits that adversely affect the morale and performance of their teams. Those in Talent Management should realize the opportunity to help leaders like Mr. Jones realize their weak spots, and address them. Effective supervisors seek input from the employee into why the behavior is happening, ask the employee for ideas on how a change could take place, secure a commitment on the change, and offer ongoing support—while maintaining the employee's self-esteem throughout the discussion. For a leader like Mr. Jones, we'd prescribe a comprehensive assessment and follow up development. And, in Mr. Jones' case, perhaps a better selection system (one that ensures new hires are, you know, human) would be beneficial, too.

Located between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the San Rafael Mountains in Santa Barbara County, Santa Ynez Valley includes the communities of Ballard, Buellton, Los Olivos, Solvang, and Santa Ynez. For a small community with about 20,000 residents, "the valley" (as locals refer to it) has a lot to offer—hiking, biking, shopping, and of course, wine tasting to name a few. The wine-fueled film Sideways was shot on location in the area, and many visitors come to town to tour the actual sites of the movie—the Buellton Days Inn, the Hitching Post, and Alma Rosa Winery tasting room are key spots along the trail. But if you're heading to Santa Ynez, there is a lot more to explore than its moment in the Hollywood sun.
Solvang is a Danish word meaning "sunny fields," and it lives up to its name. The town was founded in 1911 by a group of Danes who sought a temperate climate away from harsh Midwest winters. Danish architecture, bakeries, restaurants, tasting rooms, and shops (yes, you can find wooden footwear here) dot the quaint streets and hearken back to another time... and country. Of all the Valley communities, tourists descend on Solvang--especially in the summer--but that doesn't take from the charm of the place. Hadsten House and Hotel Corque both steer clear from kitsch with modern lodging in town, while The Alisal Guest Ranch and Resort is a tranquil, off the beaten path hideaway, which has beckoned horseback riders, anglers, and golfers since 1946.
Nearby Los Olivos is a small town of only 1,000 residents, but don't be fooled by its size—impressive food, wine, and shops can be found downtown. Fess Parker Wine Country Inn & Spa provides cozy rooms, indulgent spa treatments, and delectable Greek fare at its Petros Los Olivos Restaurant. A hop down the street you'll find wineries and shops to peruse. Grab a sandwich at Panino (chicken curry salad with balsamic dressing is only one of this spot's delectable offerings) then head across the street to Saarloos & Sons winery to indulge in a wine paired with cupcakes. If you want to be a part of the dusty, Old West feel of Santa Ynez, stop into Jedlicka's western wear shop—which has outfitted the town's cowboys and girls since 1932. Down the street you'll find handmade jewelry at Waxing Poetic. Located in an refurbished Victorian, it's the latest addition to the Los Olivos' handful of shops.
You simply cannot visit wine country without a walk through a vineyard and a few stops in the area's many tasting rooms. You can pick up a map and wind past oak groves and horse pastures stopping in to wineries along the way, or call a tour company to whisk you to choice spots. Sustainable Vine Wine Tours takes oenophiles to organic and biodynamic wineries, with a stop for organic sandwiches at a vineyard that produces grapes for Ampelos Cellars. Whatever way you decide to tour wine country, Firestone, Fess Parker, Rusack, and Sunstone are only a few of the hundreds of vineyards that make Santa Ynez famous.
When you've had enough wine, take a hike to Figueroa Mountain, known for its abundance of wildflowers, usually in bloom from February until April. For a different view of the Valley, hike, swim, and stay a night a Zaca Lake, a rustic getaway with a storied--if not spooky--past. The camping crowd who want a spot less off the radar than Zaca are welcome to Lake Cachuma, a popular destination for families.

Weekend Projects - Sgraffito pot archive
Friday 17 June 2016
Andy Coates experiments with sgraffito on a turned pot
By now you will no doubt have noticed that I enjoy playing with surface treatments on woodturning. This month's project is no different. I am going to turn a simple pot/vase form and decorate it using a technique called sgraffito. Sgraffito is a form of decoration made by scratching through a surface to reveal a lower layer of a contrasting colour, it is more usually done on plaster or stucco on walls, or in slip on ceramics before firing, but is also used in fine art painting.
Using this technique on woodturning is not a new evolution; Al Stirt has been using the technique to glorious ends for quite some time. Al uses the wood as his substrate to be 'scratched' through to, whereas I will use a slightly different technique, closer to the way it might have been achieved historically. Either approach is fine, and you may decide to use one over the other.
Sgaffito has been used to great effect by many potters and ceramicists, and a similar process has also been used in fine glassware. Look around for examples to use as inspiration for your own work. Tim Christensen, an American potter who uses sgraffito on his porcelain forms uses the technique to stunning effect, and his work is well worth looking at. Try to use references like this as inspiration, rather than simply copying them; the real sense of fun and achievement is in developing your own style.
Rather than using the wood as the base coat, I prefer to apply gesso, as this provides a pleasing pure white relief. You could of course, simply colour the wood with acrylic and cut through the paint to the wood. The choice is yours. The beauty of the technique is that it provides an effective and striking contrast without being technically difficult; it is, after all, simply scratching away paint. Before anybody says 'but I'm not artistic' (again!), you don't need to be. Look at it as doodling. You've all doodled. This is no different. You can start with simple repeated patterns and shapes, develop ideas and themes, or perhaps use the vessel as the canvas for a story told through sgraffito. For the purposes of this project I made mine as part of a series I had already begun. You might also use different colours for base and top coat. The options are wide open with this kind of decoration.
The base coat I am using is white gesso, which can be bought from any good art supplies company. There is a truism I've discovered in relation to art materials: you get what you pay for. Cheap gesso is not worth buying. Choose a good quality brand, and if you have an option opt for a medium-thick consistency. The same applies to the acrylic paints you choose. Cheaper brands use poorer quality pigments and they often disappoint. Choose good quality brands and the colour, hold, durability and light fastness will be significantly improved. One thing to keep in mind though is that we'll be using these in a manner not described on the label. So we take a chance that the results are suitable. My experience indicates that the results are fine. So if you're happy to stretch your creative muscles and take a risk, let's get to it.
Tools used:¾in spindle roughing gouge
½in long grind bowl gouge
3mm parting tool
6mm parting and beading tool
Forstner bit on extension bar

Iraq needs new non-sectarian blood
Minutes after the celebrations of the victory over the Islamic State (ISIS) in Mosul, signs of sectarian manipulations in Iraq crept in. There were reports of inhumane treatment of Iraqi prisoners suspected of belonging to ISIS as well as calls for a settlement between Shia and Sunni politicians.
For years, these same politicians did nothing but carry out their own sectarian political agendas and projects. They squabbled over their shares of power and loot in total disregard for the interests and the rights of the Iraqi people, be they those who have suffered dislocation and killings at the hands of ISIS or the rest of the population, which continues to endure the absence of basic services of electricity, water, health, education and security.
There is total confusion in Iraq today. With weapons available everywhere and out of official control, political and sectarian polarisation among the traditional political parties will likely lead to the creation of armed sectarian factions. This unsuccessful political class has made it part of its agenda to maintain instability and sectarian stoking in the country because, otherwise, its members would lose their privileges. Sectarian politics is based on continuously generating crises, confusion and splits.
The sectarian forces want to hijack the Iraqi military victory, strip it of its national character, turn it into a sectarian victory and use it to reinforce the dominance of political Islam in both its Shia and Sunni versions.
They are determined to perpetuate the conditions that produced ISIS through the many failing measures and policies that piled up since 2003. These policies were based on sectarian division, political marginalisation, spreading hatred and vengeance and refusing any serious attempts to bring back the spirit of belonging to a single Iraqi nationality. We must be ready at the highest political levels in the country to courageously and seriously thwart those plans of robbing the country of a national victory over ISIS.
A military victory alone is not sufficient to put an end to the forces of terror and extremism in Iraq. What we need is for a team of elite political figures — Shias and Sunnis from inside and outside the existing Iraqi political circles — to lay the foundations for political victory. The team could be led by Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi. Its creation would not necessitate any new laws or constitutional amendments.
This team must have a clear nationalistic vision and a new political programme to do away with the fundamental causes behind the rise of ISIS and its quick occupation of Iraq. This team must be able to deliver what is needed for the new era, namely many urgent administrative and political measures capable of lifting the spirit of victory to slam the door on all projects for renewing sectarian division. By leading such a mission, Abadi could bravely finish his national mission.
The new measures must begin with irreversibly relinquishing nefarious sectarian policies. They were real and not just slogans. The non-sectarian team must be armed with the existing and significant popular support waiting for new political blood. It is time to put an end to the looting and disastrous policies of the previous era. It is time to give the helm to responsible Iraqis with clean hands and clean minds.
A team of capable, unbiased and virtuous figures armed with a national programme would be able to pressure the existing parties from all sides to give up their petty politicking, which is taking shape in sectarian congresses, projects for political settlements and attempts by certain sects to take full credit for liberating Mosul.
We have in Abadi's decision to have the central government supervise clean-up operations in Mosul a good example of constructive steps towards instilling Iraqi nationalism. All through the battle for Mosul, Abadi stuck by his own slogan — "protecting citizens."
A series of measures were taken and it is indicative of the desired transition. In Mosul, the central government is overseeing operations to identify ISIS members and their supporters and separate them from civilians. It is also the central government that is responsible for bringing perpetrators of human rights violations to justice and for making sure that this new situation is not exploited for stirring sectarian divisions.
Abadi and his team of non-sectarian politicians, be they Shias or Sunnis, cannot afford to fail in their new mission because, if they do, Iraq will plunge into even more severe and violent sectarian strife. Such an outcome surely serves the purposes of those projects aimed at keeping Iraq disunited and weak to divide the region.

Well ... I was going to move him to a new home today, but at the last minute his stablemate, Zor, wasn't being picked up this morning. This is probalby a good thing since I haven't had time to go over to the new place and make sure everything is ready for him. Curmudge and I are going to move his 'portable' fence panels later on today, along with his water barrels, feed barrels, water hose and more stuff than I will probably need there.
He's going to be around the corner from Jean's so I can walk him over when the time comes. He will be alone in his new stall until he acclamates to the new friends he will meet. Once they (all four of them) acclamate then he can be turned out with them to graze.
I think it will be late Friday before we finally go to Traveler's new stall. The gal who is taking Zor for Jean couldn't make it into town today with the horse trailer, so Jean will load him (into her horse trailer) on Friday afternoon and take him out to his new home.

At this point, the cause of autism or the spectrum of ASD remain unknown. Scientific evidence supports the conclusion that ASD is a behavioural syndrome that results from various brain abnormalities. These abnormalities develop as a result of genetic predispositions and early environmental (likely to be the 1st trimester inside the utero) insults. The genetic of autism is complex and up till now no genetic markers or biological markers of the disorder has been reliably identified. Current postulation is that the disorder is an expression of a heterogenic pool of genes instead of a single or a couple of gene interactions.
Although in the last decade, there was an increase in interest in the relationship between environmental toxins, diets and the disorder of autism, up till now, there is no scientific evidence which demonstrate a causal relationship between ASD and these toxins or diets.

My father was an only child. His parents emigrated from Eastern Europe. His father came from Lithuania. His mother came from Russia. They met and married in what was then known as Palestine. My father never met his grandparents. His family was small and self-contained.
When my father was 15, his mother fell ill with cancer. She died 2 years later. Their family became even smaller.
Many years later, when I was about 10 years old my grandfather, (my dad's dad), died. My parents didn't want my sister and me to attend the funeral, even though we were very close to my grandfather. They didn't think it was appropriate. I wondered if my dad would cry for his dad. I asked him: 'Are you sad about Saba's death?' He said: 'I'm not sad, I'm angry. I'm angry that he's gone'.
This conversation repeated when other relatives died, or during stressful situations. My dad seemed like such a strong guy, and I was always trying to understand if he ever felt sad inside. I kind of wanted to see him cry, to reveal a softer weaker side. But he never did.
When I got a little older, I noticed that anger was my Dad's way of operating in the world. He shouted, he argued, he blamed. Part of it was just the surly, tough character that many Israelis have (myself included). Israelis like to argue and fight. It comes from a long legacy of struggle.
What I came to understand was that my Dad replaced the emotions of sadness and fear with anger. He didn't want to feel sad, weak, or vulnerable. So he held on to anger as strength, as a way to feel in control of the situation.
There can be many reasons why people hold on to anger and identify themselves with it. We say 'I am angry', as if that is the sum total of who we are. Yoga philosophy teaches us that we are much more than our thoughts and emotions, that there is something much deeper, and something higher behind those fluctuations of the mind.
Close your eyes and think of the last time you were angry. Maybe it was recent, or maybe it was so long ago, that you don't even remember why you were angry. Try to feel what you felt in that moment of anger, physically and emotionally. Immerse yourself in that feeling for a moment.
Then, let it go.
Anger can be a very destructive emotion. We tend to think of anger like a weapon aimed at someone outside ourselves, to make them suffer, to hurt them. But actually, the angry person suffers too.
The great spiritual master Neem Karoli Baba advised his student Ram Dass on dealing with anger: "love everyone and tell the truth". Ram Dass responded: "but the truth is that I don't love everyone". Later he came to understand that what his teacher meant was this: "when you give up being who you think you are, this is who you will become. When you finish being your ego, you will be Soul. And the Soul is Love." There will be no space for anything else but pure love.
At the end of his life, my Dad softened up a lot. When he was very ill and lying in a hospital bed, he would go in and out of different states of consciousness. Sometimes he would be transported back to himself as a boy and ask for his mother. When I reminded him that she'd died long ago, he cried. He was no longer angry.
His anger had transformed into tears. Those tears were an expression of love.

Our plumbers are available 24/7 to make sure that your toilet problems can be solved any time, day or night—before they turn into major disasters. Give us a call whenever you need us, and we'll be there.
Is your toilet leaking? Constantly running? Overflowing? No problem! The expert plumbers at James A. Wheat & Sons know toilets inside and out—we have years of experience and have repaired every type of toilet problem, on every type of toilet!
The next time your toilet stops flushing, your tanks and valves stop working, or water just doesn't stop filling up the bowl, don't wait—call James A. Wheat & Sons! We can diagnose your toilet problems quickly and get them fixed right away.
Is your toilet bowl cracked or leaking? Is the valve assembly completely busted? Do you just want to update the look of your bathroom? Call James A. Wheat & Sons! Our plumbers are experts at toilet replacement and can make sure your new toilet will sit right where the old one was and doesn't move or leak.
Did you know that if your toilet was manufactured prior to 1994 you could be wasting money with every flush? It's true—older toilets use a previous industry standard of 3.5 gallons per flush, which is more than double the current industry standard of 1.6 gallons. But don't worry, at James A. Wheat & Sons, we can replace your old, inefficient toilet with a new low-flow toilet so you can save more water (and money). If you assume that every person in your family flushes the toilet about five times a day, replacing your existing toilet with a new, high-efficiency toilet can save over 1,200 gallons of water per month!
Are you remodeling your bathroom or adding a new one to your home? Call James A. Wheat & Sons! If you've already picked out new toilets, we can install them and connect them to the rest of your home's plumbing system. If you haven't decided on the toilets you want yet, we can help you choose ones that complement your new bathroom and meet your efficiency needs.
The easiest way to solve toilet problems is to simply avoid them all together! Toilets (and the piping behind them) are very sensitive devices, and while they are powerful enough to flush a huge variety of different things, the pipes can only carry certain things. Never flush anything other than toilet paper down your toilet. Things like paper towels, diapers, and rags are not designed to break down in water and can cause blockages when they get into your pipes.
Also, if you can hear water running and you think there is a slow leak from your toilet tank to your toilet bowl, try this: squirt a few drops of food coloring to the toilet tank and let the toilet sit for about a half an hour. Go back and see if any of the water in your toilet bowl has changed color at all. If it has, call James A. Wheat & Sons as soon as possible—that slow drain, even though it doesn't seem that bad, can potentially double your water bills or more!
If you need toilet repair, replacement, or installation in Maryland, Virginia or Washington, DC, call the expert plumbers at James A. Wheat & Sons today! We have a variety of plumbing services designed to make sure your toilets are reliable whenever you need them.

Alright, a full month has gone by since we launched Max Lift – the One Rep Max Calculator on iTunes (technically 27 days since it launched on June 3rd).
As mentioned in the previous posts, we just logged on to see how it did over its first month. Here is the data:
Almost 150 sales during the first month of launch!
The above chart shows the weekly summary, and the chart below shows the daily summary in the last few days. What is most notable here is the spike seen in the last 5 days. How and why did this happen? Traction.
It takes time for an app to gain traction. With more marketing and exposure over time, traction increases as do sales. The good news is that we have not done any aggressive marketing at all besides spreading the word to family and friends. That will change and should impact sales in the coming weeks and months.
We have also implemented some analytics measures, but it's too early to tell what worked and what didn't work. We will continue to monitor and report on this as we become aware of it.
145 sales at 70% (Apple keeps 30%) leaves us with just about $100.
With a net cost of $1,000 to develop the app, our break even appears to be at the 10 month period as of now. You can read more about the cost breakdown here.
Have a look at our extrapolation of day 1 sales here, which we clearly over estimated. First day sales are always inflated because the release of the app puts it on top of the Apple iTunes app page under new releases, and sales generated then may not be representative of the coming weeks and months.
So bottom line —> We are still in the RED
But that's ok because we will break even in less than a year since the app's launch, and the estimated date will likely be expedited as we market the app aggressively.
$100 bucks a month is certainly not money that will make us millionaires, but if you think about how the money is generated, it is purely passive in that it is not predicated on us working on it after having launched it. One can argue the ROI is infinite. $1 in passive income that you didn't have to work for is $1 you wouldn't have had otherwise.
Our goal is to launch several applications, which overtime parlay over each other, potentially creating a reasonably sized snowball effect. We are looking forward to how it all rolls down the hill from here…
Some other points of interest…
- Marketing costs = none so far
- Major Accolades = none so far (although a popular body building forum just reached out for potential exposure – we are in talks)
- Other notables = none at this point except for the spike in the last few days in sales
Upcoming marketing plan:
We will be leveraging social media to get the word out in the coming quarter (Facebook, Twitter, Google +). We will also engage in press releases as well as contacting bloggers and forum owners that play in the same niche. Video syndication will also help as we are currently only on YouTube – which by the way already have over 2,000 + views.
Our biggest marketing initiative will be focused on search engine optimization (SEO), through which we will attempt to increase the position of our app page in the overall search engine rankings whenever someone searches for a one rep max calculator. SEO is a slow and steady process that involves a lot of work now, but tons of promise down the road. We are looking to diving deeper into this organic approach to marketing as well.
Lots of fun times ahead for us. This is really our first app and we are experimenting with many things. We don't know what will work and what will not, but it will surely be a fun process ahead exploring the unknown territories of iPhone app marketing.
We are making progress with our second app but ran into some design challenges that we are working out. We still feel we will be able to launch this app this year (keeping fingers crossed).
We will be back with another update before you know it . . .

I. Background
A. Cyrene and Family
My name is Simon. I am a Jew. I am from Cyrene that is a pleasant city off the southern coast of the Mediterranean sea. Today, you call it Tripoli, Libya. I have a faithful and devout wife. We have two sons, Alexander and Rufus.
I'm here this morning to tell you my story, which as you will soon see, is not my story at all.
B. Distance to Jerusalem.
My story begins with a dream. Not the kind of dream one has while sleeping, but the kind of dream that is a hope and a goal. It has always been my dream to eat the Passover in Jerusalem at the holy Temple.
For many Jewish men, this is a dream that comes true every year. But for men like me who live as far away from Jerusalem as Cyrene, we are lucky if we are able to realize our dream once in a lifetime.
C. The Passover
You may ask, what's so special about Passover? Let me explain. When the Israelites lived in Egypt under the harsh slavery of Pharaoh, God promised to deliver them and He sent a deliverer named Moses. The night before the deliverance, Moses instructed them to sacrifice a lamb to eat. They were told to mark the doorframe of their house with some of the Lamb's blood. That night, the Angel of Death killed every firstborn male in every house in Egypt except for those houses marked with the blood of the lamb. Even Pharaoh's first born son was found dead in the morning. But every house that was marked with the lamb's blood, the Angel "passed over," and everyone was spared.
The next day, Pharaoh ordered all of the Israelites to leave Egypt, and all of the Egyptians gave the lots of money and treasures to make sure they had all they needed to leave.
So, we celebrate the Passover every year as a reminder of God's great deliverance of His people from the Egyptians. But we also celebrate the Passover as a reminder of the deliverance that is yet to come. God He has promised a greater deliverance that Egypt and a greater deliverer than Moses. He will deliver us from sin and death and even the devil himself.
When that day comes, we will eat an even greater meal in remembrance of our greater deliverance.
By the way, I notice from the bread and wine set out on the table there, that you are expecting to eat a meal here today? I wonder what it is you are celebrating?
It would take a week to walk from Cyrene to Jerusalem. I would be in the city for a week during the festival of Unleavened Bread that ends with the Passover. And then it would take another week to return home again. Arrangements had to be made for my family who would remain behind in Cyrene. Supplies for the journey had to be accumulated. There was much discussion with other men who had made the trip before as to the best route to travel and the safe places to stop along the way. It took several years of saving whatever extra money I could put aside until finally, I was ready.
Early on the morning of the 3rd of Nisan, the year 30 AD, I left for Jerusalem.
II. The Journey to Jerusalem
A. Meeting others headed to Jerusalem.
The journey went well. As I got closer to the city, I met others who were going to Jerusalem for the same reason. As we walked we talked about many things. Like what it would be like to be in Jerusalem, the city of David and to eat the Passover at the Holy Temple where God was present behind the curtain, above the ark of the covenant over the mercy-seat.
Several of the men had made the trip before. They described the city and the Temple in magnificent terms. They told me that Jerusalem went from 50,000 people normally to over 250,000 people during Passover. For that reason, the Roman governor always came down from Caesarea to personally supervise security.
Everyone warned me that it was best to keep an eye on the Roman soldiers and to stay at least three arm lengths away. They had the right to enlist the nearest person into service whenever the need arose. Why three arm lengths I asked? Because they draw their sword and tap you on the shoulder with the flat part of the blade, which means you've been chosen. Three arm lengths puts you just out of reach.
B. Bethany
It was late Friday night when I arrived at Bethany, a small village just outside of Jerusalem. I stayed the night there and because the next day was the Sabbath when no travel was allowed, I ended up spending two days there.
While I was in Bethany, there was a great deal of talk and excitement about a man named Lazarus who lived there. It seemed that Lazarus had died and had been dead for four days but had come back to life again. There was also a lot of talk about a man named Jesus. It seems that he was the man who brought Lazarus back to life and they were saying He did it just by calling his name. They said that Jesus just yelled into the tomb "Lazarus, come out," and Lazarus came walking out of the tomb, grave clothes still wrapped around him. Alive and hungry.
Many in Bethany were talking as if this Jesus may be the promised Messiah, the one who would bring about the great and final deliverance. I wanted to see if I could get a look at this man Lazarus, but I wasn't able to.
C. Palm Sunday
The next day was Sunday, the 10th day of the month. This was the day that Moses said that the Passover lamb should be selected. I wanted to get to Jerusalem early enough to choose a good one. I wondered what inflated prices the sellers would be getting for a lamb there and where I would have to go to exchange my foreign currency for local money.
My thoughts were interrupted by a great commotion and loud cheering up ahead. The road to Jerusalem
was lined with people all cheering something or other. They were cheering for a man riding on a donkey. I asked who this was. They told me it was Jesus, the one who had raised Lazarus.
He didn't look like a Messiah, whatever a Messiah is supposed to look like. I followed the parade all the way into Jerusalem and right to the Temple.
It was magnificent, greater than anything I had imagined. Huge stones, more gold than I have ever seen. In all the excitement though, I forgot to select a lamb for my Passover meal.
D. The Passover.
I spent the next several days touring the city, seeing the magnificent buildings and the sites where our ancestors had done the things recorded in the Bible. On Thursday evening, I ate the Passover at the Temple. My dream to eat the Passover in Jerusalem had come true at last.
III. Carrying the Cross of Jesus.
A. Impress of the Roman Soldier
I arose early on Friday morning. I wanted to get an early start on the trip home. Going down to the road leading out of the city called 'via del a Rosa' there was a huge crowd that seemed angry about something. When I asked what it was all about, I was told it had to do with some criminals headed for execution.
There were three of them. They were each carrying their crosses on the way to their crucifixion. I had seen this before in Cyrene and it was an ugly thing to watch that I personally had no taste for.
It was then, as I was ready to make my way through the crowd, not paying any attention to anything but heading home, that I felt it. It was a tap on the shoulder with the blade of a Roman sword. No! Not me. I've got to be on my way home. Don't ruin this dream of a lifetime.
I was directed to carry the cross of one of the criminals that they had obviously beaten more than they should have. He didn't have the strength to carry his own cross – and so because of the soldier's stupidity for getting carried away with the beating, and for whatever crime this criminal had committed – my day was going to be ruined.
I was shoved into the road and told to put my shoulder under the cross bar and carry it to the execution site. It was only then that I saw who the criminal was. It was Jesus, the same one who rode into Jerusalem on the donkey just five days earlier. His back was open and raw flesh. He head and hair were a mess of blood that ran down his face in dried lines. And yet, through the blood and matted hair, his eyes met mine. And I could not turn my eyes away from His. There was a compassion in his eyes that instantly melted all of my resentment and anger. He seemed to be more sorry for me than I should have been for him.
B. The Crucifixion
As we reached the execution site, I was told where to place the cross and told I could leave. But I couldn't go. I had carried His cross this far and now I felt as if I was a part of whatever it was that was happening here.
I watched as the soldiers hammered the nails into his hands and raised him onto the upright pole. Then the long, metal spike was nailed through both feet together. There was a great deal of blood and obvious pain but Jesus never cursed or swore the way the other two did who were crucified on each side of him.
In fact, Jesus spoke tender and kind words to the soldiers saying, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing." The man looked even less like a Messiah than he had on Sunday.
To the criminal crucified beside him he said, "Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise."
He must have felt terrible alone, because at one point, in a horrifying voice he cried out, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"
It seemed as though this were His mission, His dream, if you will, and that He felt His dream had also been fulfilled. Gathering all the strength He had left in Him and with one last breath, He said, "It is finished." "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." And then he died.
My emotions completely overcame me and I wept like have never wept before. My dream of a lifetime no longer seemed as important as it had. It had been absorbed into something much greater than I didn't understand.
IV. Conclusion – The Trip Home
The trip home gave me time to think through a lot of the things that happened. Something happened in Jerusalem while I was there. You know how I told you that I had forgotten to choose my lamb for the Passover? Well, I think my lamb was chosen for me.
I believe that the real Passover Lamb is Jesus. I believe that He is the deliverer greater than Moses whose own blood delivers us not only from death, but also from our sin and the devil.
You ask why I would believe such a thing about such a man? Let me tell you. I have been told that this man whose cross I carried and whom I saw crucified and die, rose to life again three days after they laid Him in the tomb. And He's alive right now. And I believe that this is true.
I dreaded carrying that cross, it wasn't anything that I had planned on doing or wanted to do. And yet, it was as I carried his cross that I was somehow united to Him and my life was forever changed.
If you are ever called on to take up His cross and carry, do it. You won't like it and you won't want to do it. But do it. Because it is as you carry His cross that you come to know Him and knowing Him, you come to realize that His dream is to deliver you.
