True Potential plans to use blockchain technology to build its new investment platform.
The advice business, which recently parted ways with long-time technology provider SEI to go its own way, plans to launch the new platform in the next 12 months.
It will be the first platform to be based on blockchain, the technology behind cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. The idea behind blockchain is that computers in a network can quickly verify information rather than relying on external third-parties.
Daniel Harrison (pictured), head of technology at True Potential, told New Model Adviser® this could potentially speed up transactions for advisers and their clients.
'With the way platforms work now, a client might put something on it but it will take three to five days to hit. What blockchain will do is that we get the proof that the money is good there and then. We get proof the money physically exists and we get the proof at the other end of the chain that the fund exists and this is its price today,' he said.
This speed is completed through a system where individual computers, known as ledgers, are able to confirm they have data with each other. As the information is not stored centrally there are security benefits to blockchain as well.
Banks and asset managers have been investing in the technology, but as none have launched yet True Potential is currently out on its own.
'We have this strange thing where we've built the blockchain into the platform but we've got nobody to connect to on the chain,' Harrison said.
'We are actually going to use it as an audit tool, so to speak. We will install the blockchain all along our platform processes which will look at every single process that goes on the platform.'
According to Harrison this audit process will offer clients 'extra certainty in terms of accuracy and extra certainty in terms of automation. The less people have to touch it the more accurate it becomes'.
The project is being built entirely in-house with True Potential's 35-strong development team.
'It's not like what we've seen with other projects where millions, or indeed hundreds of millions, have been spent,' Harrison said.

Hello girls and welcome to the cutest room in our house right now! This is Baby Mini's nursery which is really starting to come together! There's still stuff everywhere like an explosion, but it is looking so cute We're gonna do a nursery reveal video in a few weeks and I can hardly wait
Today we're gonna be answering one of your questions which is how do you stay emotionally pure in a dating relationship? So today I'm going to share three tips with you for staying emotionally pure but first we have to define what emotional purity actually is In my mind emotional purity means that you see your boyfriend as your boyfriend, not as your husband Not forming too deep of a soul connection with him like I would in marriage saying I'm all-in and all yours when we're just dating So that's what I think emotional purity is Now I do want to clarify that some people want emotional purity because in their mind what they're thinking is not emotional purity, it's like having a wall and a guard up so that you don't get hurt
And the thing is with dating and with close friendships, there is a risk involved You're putting yourself, your heart out there, you're being vulnerable and there is the risk of being hurt or having your heart broken And I don't think there's a way around that Just because you're emotionally pure does not mean that it won't hurt or that you won't be disappointed if the relationship doesn't work out So I just want to clarify that emotional purity is not about having a wall up so you don't get hurt; it's about keeping the relationship in your mind and in your heart what it is in reality, and not seeing your boyfriend as a husband when he's just your boyfriend
So how can you stay emotionally pure in a relationship? I want to share three tips with you today that I think are really helpful and maybe they can help you too And comment below any tips you would add So tip number one is keep your life in balance, and I've got three ways you can do this First way, stay close with your friends We all know those girls – and I have been one of those girls – who gets in a relationship and all of a sudden her friends are like, "Have you seen Tiffany lately? Like I don't know where she's been
Oh right, she's dating that new guy and she's only always with him and never sees her friends!" So don't be that girl That's dangerous That means that your relationship is starting to fall out of balance Now that doesn't mean you have to stay friends with every single acquaintance you've ever had, but it does mean that your real close friends, the people you trust, that you've invested in, you need to make time for them and prioritize them Don't just spend every minute with your boyfriend but also make time for those friendships
Another part of keeping your life in balance is continuing to do things that you enjoy So if you really enjoy sports or if you really enjoy music or this certain ministry you're doing, that you're still making time for it That your boyfriend is not taking over your whole world, especially in the first few months And there might be some things that you need to step back from if you're a really busy person and you're like, "I don't even have time to see my boyfriend!" Then yeah it might be time to cut some things out of your schedule so you have time to invest in him too, especially if the relationship is getting serious However he shouldn't just become your entire world; you should still be doing things that you love to do and you should still have those outlets
James and I still have those outlets and we're married And part number three is to make sure that your boyfriend is not your only outlet for emotional support, so you're not getting all your emotional needs met in your boyfriend And this is true even in marriage; you can't have all your emotional needs met in one person, because they're human We need other people We need friendships, we need mentors, we need a relationship with God, and so make sure you have all those outlets so you're not putting all your emotional needs on your boyfriend
So all that to say, keep your life in balance Number two: Be aware of your daydreams We all day dream At least I think we all daydream and I hope I'm not the only one! But it's really easy in our thought life to make our relationship far bigger than it is or far more serious than it is, and so just be aware of that It can be normal to daydream and things, like, "I wonder what it would be like if we were to get married
" And to some extent that can be helpful to think through it, but if you're daydreaming about that too much, especially in the early phases of a dating relationship, it's gonna make the relationship far more serious in your mind and your emotions and heart than it is in reality And I think that that kind of sets yourself up to start seeing your boyfriend as more of a husband rather than as your boyfriend And the third point is: Let your relationship grow more slowly Not that it has to be a certain length of time, but it's really easy to go in the space of even a week from I just met this person to this is my soulmate And I think that it's so important to let your relationship grow slowly, in its own time and pace, without rushing it
And so that means not having conversations about: "Are you the one for me? Are we gonna get married? What would life look like if we were married?" – I would not recommend those conversations until at least a few months into your relationship; certainly not the first couple weeks! Give your relationship time to grow, space to grow Get to know each other; just see if you like him as a person, just see if you're good together as as a couple before you jump into: "Let's talk about marriage" Along the same lines is you don't need to open the deepest secrets of your heart to him in the first couple weeks You need to see first if he earns your trust Just like with friendships, it's so easy to want – you click with someone and you just want to like spill your guts to them
And there might be times when that's appropriate, but I think a lot of the time that creates a false sense of intimacy, where you suddenly feel a lot closer to the person than you actually are, because you haven't gotten to know them yet You haven't gotten to know if they're trustworthy And if you've been friends before you started dating, this might be a lot different for you, but if you're just getting to know the person, give it space, give it time, don't spill too much at the very beginning, but let yourself grow into the relationship There's no rush; just kind of take it slow, let it go at its own pace And in closing, if you find that you're always taking relationships too far too fast, making it too serious in your mind right away, I would just kind of reflect on that a little bit
Ask God like, "Where's that coming from?" Maybe talk with some older, wiser people who you trust and just ask like, "What's causing that in my heart?" Because that could be a sign that there's something deeper going on inside you that maybe you need to work through with God and with people who you trust So girls I hope that that can really help These are my thoughts on that topic; comment your thoughts down below as well I love you girls and I'll see you on Tuesday Bye!

The kitchen sink has 3 leaks--the faucet, the disposal, and the drain pipe. The bathtub is also leaking. I tried to call a plumber Friday, but the number was disconnected. Where have all the plumbers gone?
I'm going to try to find the number of a "handy man" for Monday. The last time I tried to do plumbing myself, I broke the pipe and was without a kitchen sink for a few days. Since I have so many plumbing problems, I was to get them fixed correctly.
I'm really glad I replenished the emergency fund--this is probably going to be expensive. I'm thankful that I should have enough money to cover the repairs.

This past week I became a member of the Board of Directors of an organization of local language teachers. We had a dinner this past Thursday and I had two interesting interactions that I have been thinking about a lot this weekend.
My first interaction was with a fellow teacher trying to embrace comprehensible input (CI) in her classroom. She told me she was struggling a bit so I asked her to tell me what was going on in her classes in the hopes that I could help troubleshoot.
The first issue she is having is that she does not have control over her students' behavior. As a result, she finds it hard to get through a CI lesson because she cannot get her students to settle down, pay attention, and contribute to the lesson. So I told her about the rewards system that Craig and Mike from TPRS Books talked about when I went to a training this past March. When they taught in a language classroom, they had a points system set up where the amount of time students spent behaving well and staying in the target language resulted in the class earning points. After a certain number of points, the students got a prize (For more information about this system, read this post.).
I implemented this system after I came back from the workshop and I have noticed three major differences. First of all, the number of discipline problems I have experienced has decreased dramatically. Second, since more students are staying on task and paying closer attention to the target language, they have made some impressive language gains in the past two months. And finally, student morale is up because my students are more motivated and excited about earning a prize.
Some teachers might take a look at this system and criticize it because, technically, I am bribing students to get them to behave with the promise of candy, a movie, or a similar privilege. But I am absolutely fine with that because of how much easier it has been for me to teach and because of the amount the progress my students have made since I implemented this system. In addition, this year I have noticed that I have more of my sanity intact than I usually do in the fourth quarter of the school year. I'm not as easily aggravated or mentally tired the way I normally am from dealing with bad behavior for the previous eight months, and it is all thanks to this system. Do I wish that my students were all so intrinsically motivated to acquire language that I didn't need to entice them with a reward? Yes, of course. But I will gladly give candy bars or movie days if that's what I need to do to get my class to behave well enough so I can keep my sanity, maintain control over the classroom, and, most importantly, facilitate my students' acquisition of language.
The second issue this teacher told me about what that she has to deal with a lot of student anger. She said that her students are often mad at her because she refuses to translate any words into English for them. I know some teachers who do not translate for their students, and while I think they do this with the best intentions, I also believe that it is a practice that can be a substantial roadblock to second language acquisition. It can also kill motivation and create a negative atmosphere in the classroom.
Teachers who refuse to translate expressions for their students tell me that they do this to obligate students to develop the deductive reasoning and critical thinking skills that are involved in determining meaning in the target language (TL). They also say that this practice makes second language acquisition a more natural process because it mimics the way people acquired their first language. But the amount of frustration this creates for some of our students can lead to a scenario like the one the above mentioned teacher is experiencing in her classroom. This practice can cause students anxiety, which can raise the Affective Filter and impede language acquisition overall. Moreover, any teachers who are providing input in their classroom must make sure that the input is comprehensible. The problem with never translating is that sometimes we cannot be sure that are students are understanding us otherwise. As Mike said at our March TPRS conference, the problem with immersion is that it sometimes become submersion, which is what I think is happening in this teacher's class.
Does that mean that I think teachers should translate every single word and expression they use in the classroom? No, of course not. Teachers should not have to translate concrete words and expressions if they can convey meaning with a picture or gesture. For example, I have never told my French students that the word "chat" means "cat" in English, because whenever I use this word I show a picture of a cat or make cat noises. But if a student ever asked me to tell them what "chat" meant in English I would gladly translate it for them to make my input comprehensible and decrease any anxiety that student may be feeling about not understanding.
My second interaction at the dinner was with a veteran language teacher who is extremely active in a number of language organizations. I told her that I taught with CI, and her response was, "Of course, because you're a middle school teacher." I must confess that I got a bit annoyed by this comment, because it stems from some common misconceptions about the CI teaching approach.
One implication here is that CI teaching is not serious enough language instruction for high school level classes. This perception may partially be due to this teacher's limited knowledge of Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS). Teachers who use this approach tell and create stories in their classrooms, some of which are quite ridiculous (In one of my classes, for example, we are working on a story about Beyoncé, who works at Walmart selling elephants). What teachers are missing, however, is the fact that TPRS isn't just about telling silly stories. Moreover, there are plenty of other ways to provide CI besides TPRS, all of which are listed in the picture below and don't revolve around silly stories.
Another implication made by this comment is that CI teaching is not rigorous enough for high school classes. Without emphasis on explicit grammar and long vocabulary lists, CI teachers generally have better grades than traditional teachers do. For the life of me, I can't understand why this is bad. We should not want our students to be unsuccessful in our classes. We should not want a classroom where only the strong survive. We should not want dwindling class sizes in the upper levels because of how difficult our classes are. We should not want to teach only to the elite few who "get" grammar. Teaching with CI creates an equitable environment where all students have the opportunity to be successful, and I for one am very proud of that. Many teachers across North America use CI in their high school classes, even at the advanced placement level, with very good results.
The second interaction I had at the dinner was with a friend of mine who said, "Even though I am a TPRS teacher, I don't tell people I am. I just say that I teach with comprehension in mind." Unfortunately, the myth that teaching with CI is not serious or rigorous instruction has given it a bad reputation in some areas, so much so that some teachers don't even admit that they use this approach for fear that they will alienate other teachers. The last thing we should want as teachers is create an environment of us (CI teachers) versus them (textbook teachers), because ultimately all teachers want what is best for their students. But I also know that traditional teachers can get intimidated and defensive when CI teachers start talking about what they do and do not do in their classrooms. It's actually pretty prudent for CI teachers to tread lightly when interacting with non-CI teachers, and is something that I might start doing myself.
At the end of the dinner, the president of the organization asked me if I would get involved in planning and promoting professional development for the language organization. Based on the interactions I had at this dinner, it sounds as if this will be more of a challenge than I thought. I'll let you know how it goes.

This diet is one of the cancer treatments that converts cancer cells back into normal cells, meaning it changes the metabolism of the cancer cells from anaerobic to aerobic. Thus, the cells are not killed. It does this with a very complex diet which is highly alkaline. There are also a number of supplements involved with this treatment, as is typical with cancer diets.
Robert O. Young, Ph.D. Innerlight Diet
There is probably no better biology textbook, nutrition textbook, and cancer textbook in the world than Robert O. Young's: Sick and Tired? Reclaim Your Inner Terrain.
Obviously, as the title suggests, this book is firmly behind the biology of Béchamp, Enderlein and Bernard, and goes far beyond the narrow-minded science of Louis Pasteur. Unfortunately for cancer patients, the book is not solely focused on treating cancer. Nevertheless, even though it is general in scope (it does have several references to cancer), it is still probably the most correct biology book ever written.
However, I should make a key comment. A complete cancer treatment will use both the works of Béchamp and Pasteur. For example, a person might use the Innerlight Diet to create an "inner terrain" which is hostile to the spread of cancer and even may kill many of the microbes which are inside the cancer cells. But at the same time they may use treatments to kill microbes in the bloodsteam, to build the immune sytem, and if possible (such as frequency generators) use a treatment to kill the microbes which are inside the cancer cells.
Frequency Generators Article
While alternative medicine likes to claim Béchamp was superior to Pasteur, the fact is that both theories should be dealt with for a complete cancer treatment. No matter what alternative cancer treatment you choose, this book on the inner terrain will provide a wealth of information about treating cancer with alternative cancer treatments.
Because of copyright and ethical issues, I cannot replicate very much of his book. If the reader wants to pursue this treatment they will have to buy the book.

We all know the benefits of physical activity, right? People who are physically active tend to live longer and have lower risk for heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression and some cancers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition, physical activity can also help with weight control and improve academic achievement in students. We hear statistics such as these all the time. So why do less than half of all adults meet the CDC's 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines and less than three in 10 high school students get at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day?
According to Forbes magazine, the most common excuse for people not engaging in physical activity is lack of time. Membership fees to gyms, whether you have children or not, and neighborhood safety can also play a role in people not exercising. Throw in the fact that the weather is changing from warm, sunny days to cooler, gloomy days, and the shortened amount of daylight, and the motivation for people to exercise understandably lowers. In fact, a recent Gallup poll stated that Americans do typically exercise more in the spring and summer and less in the fall and winter. But, don't let these factors deter you. The good news is that you can get a full-body workout right at home without equipment. Stairs, chairs, step stools and objects around the home can be used to work all the major muscle groups.
Besides the aforementioned benefits of physical activity, working out at home can involve your family and is free of charge. The CDC recommends aerobic exercise at a moderate pace for at least 150 minutes a week and strength training on at least two days of the week. Kimberly Caines at Livestrong suggests using water bottles or just body weight for resistance. She adds, "Try targeting your major muscle groups to stimulate muscle all throughout your body."
As part of family time, you can include your children (if they are able to perform) and husband/wife in these exercises. You can also make it interesting by including obstacle courses. Livestrong's Andrea Cespedes suggests to "set up an indoor or outdoor obstacle course. Indoors, line up a jump rope, a hula-hoop, a pillow, a ball and several cans or bottles. Have your child jump rope for 10 counts, swing the hoop for 30 seconds, jump over the pillow 10 times, dribble the ball for 30 seconds and weave through the cans. Ask them to repeat it five to 10 times, then invite them to create their own course."
If you prefer an outdoor environment for exercising, cold weather causes muscles to lose more heat and contract, resulting in tightness around the body. Therefore, joints get tighter, muscles lose their range of motion, and nerves can more easily be pinched. Make sure that you warm up a little longer to prevent damage. According to CNN, a basic rule of thumb is to warm up for 10 minutes when the temperature is between 35 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit. For each 10-degree temperature drop below 35, extend your warm-up by five minutes. Some bodyweight exercises — like push-ups, dips, squats, lunges and bicycle crunches — are ideal for getting your blood flowing.
Don't let the fall and winter blues reduce your desire to be physically active this season, especially if you're prone to indulge in high-calorie holiday treats. These simple and fun indoor and around-the-house exercises well keep you fit during the cold months while you're waiting patiently for the spring thaw.

|Outside the Santa Maria Novella Basilica, Maka detects unauthorized soul hunting taking place inside the church. Investigation leads her and Soul into a battle with Crona and the Demon Weapon Ragnarok.
Demon Sword (Part 1) is the fourth serialized chapter of the manga Soul Eater. It was also reprinted as part of Volume 2. It was adapted as Episode 7 in the anime Soul Eater.

Florence, ItalyEdit
Somewhere in Florence, Italy ontop of the Santa Mario Novella Basilica, a woman sitting on top of a broomstick orders two individuals who embody the "ultimate meister and weapon" to eat many souls. Inside Santa Mario Novella Basilica, a gang of people question the identity of the two intruders. However, the meister ignores their words, speaking to the woman outside and states that they not only have a long way to go...but they will never be a "Kishin". After chanting "Nake,snake,cobra,cobbra" and casting a spell on the meister and comments that "It's alright. Have confidence in yourself. You will become a Kishin, Crona...", the spell shaped as a snake enters their head. Crona then laughs suddenly, to the surprise of the gang questioning his identity, and claim that they're a Kishin. The gang leader tells Crona that they shouldn't expect to be able to walk into their "hideout" and get out alive. However, Crona retorts that the basilica is public and was not given to them. For claiming they own the basilica, Crona decides that Ragnarok will eat them instead. The weapon shouts, surprising the gang members. As the sword shouts, Crona informs them that the doors of the basilica only open to the inside and that their blood is black. The gang members are then slain.
Streets of ItalyEdit
Equipped with Soul Eater as the Demon Scythe, Maka Albarn confronts the Killer of Emerald Lake, Sonson-J, proclaiming she will take his soul. Sonson complains and claims that it's not fair for the student to "get to kill as many people" as they want. Maka then leaps into the air and kills the evil human, revealing they do not kill however many they want. Soul then decides to consume his soul, doing so in a "cool style". As he eats the Soul, Maka questions If they're good. Soul comments that while there's no taste, it is nice, firm, and feels incredibly good going down the throat. Soul then reveals he wonders on how Black☆Star and Tsubaki are faring, though Maka informs Soul that they end up with zeroes and keep taking remedial lessons with one of them saying they feel sorry for Tsubaki. Soul then tells Maka that while he has a lot of energy, it's not directed at collecting souls.
Suddenly, Maka senses something as Soul decides to bring the motorcycle out for them to head home. Though Soul mistakes Maka's actions for sight seeing at the Santa Mario Novella Basilica, Maka is actually sensing the souls of others. Requiring herself to focus more, she then senses the souls of a Meister and Weapon as well as the entire Materazzi gang. As she tells Soul this, she deducts that the souls are of the Materazzi gang that causes trouble at night and though are bad, are not evil enough to be qualified for Shinigami's List. Soul then tells her that despite being a Weapon/Meister pair being there doesn't mean they're hunting for innocent human souls, though Maka tells him not investigating is irresponsible and rather investigate before it's too late. Soul, understanding her stance, agrees to investigate though jokingly states that If it turns out to be one of Black☆Star's antics, he's "going to cry".
Arriving at the basilica, Soul states he loves the gothic architecture and it is a cool building that "stirs the soul". Maka then suddenly becomes surprised with Soul questioning. She reveals the souls of fifty to sixty humans have vanished with only the souls of the Meister and Weapon left. As Maka beings to open the door, she feels she will regret her decision but decides she must as a student of the DWMA. Maka opens the door, finding Crona standing and saying the doors only open to the inside. Soul claims he only see's the Meister but Maka deduces because the Weapon and Meister response is coming from Crona, the weapon is inside Crona.
Death Weapon Meister AcademyEdit
Within the Nurse's Office, Spirit is fretting on the fact that he did not expect his daughter to be on a extra-curricular activity and having to come to the school in hopes of seeing her. However, he is afraid for that he might also run into Franken Stein as a "major obstacle". But he then exclaims he will not give up and that he will do his best to see her despite the "obstacle" at hand...but first needs the female doctor to "care" for his "wounded heart". As the door opens, Spirit immediately hugs the individual and only finds that he instead hugged his former meister and not the school nurse.
Spirit then freaks out, with Stein greeting his former weapon. While Spirit states he doesn't know why, he claims that the scars from his experimentation on his body is gone and that he's no longer afraid of the Meister despite hiding under the sheets. Stein, not believing the claim, then questions If he was aware that he switched his left and right middle toes, though he then later informs a frantic Spirit that he was joking. Stein then moves the conversation, stating Maka has gotten big and that he didn't think the marriage between Spirit and his wife would work until he saw them snuggling. Spirit then informs Stein that he and his wife divorced a month ago. Stein replies with "I know", prompting Spirit to attempt to fight Stein with Sid intervening in between them. Stein then tells Spirit that "The Demon Sword has appeared".
Inside Santa Mario Novella BasilicaEdit
Over at the church, Soul has now changed into his weapon form, while Crona's weapon starts to emerge from Crona's own body. Black liquid starts to ooze out of Crona and takes the form of the weapon partner; Ragnarok. Once out, Ragnarok starts to irritate Crona by hammering on their head and performing other annoying antics. Crona later yells at Ragnarok with the Weapon backing off. Maka states that is forbidden to take souls, which are not on Shinigami's list and asks if Crona is a DWMA student. Crona displays no knowledge of the academy and tells her that "she" said it was alright for him to take the souls. Crona then states that they're not very good at talking to girls and blushes and Ragnarok comments that her soul looks tasty. Maka exclaims for Crona to save their excuses for Shinigami-sama and Ragnarok transforms.
The two sides engage in a battle. Crona makes a strike at Maka from below, which she easily blocks. With Soul holding down Ragnarok, Crona is left open takes a backfist to the head from Maka. Maka takes a swing at Crona, in which is dodged. Once her scythe touched the ground, Maka used it as a lever to swing herself through the air, delivering a cartwheel-esque kick to her opponent. With Crona down, Maka and Soul take the chance to decapitate their opponent. However using black blood, which is also Ragnarok, Crona's veins to solidify, preventing cuts being made any deeper. Crona informs Maka that such a attack wouldn't cut off their head. As Soul questions what happen, Maka deducts that the blood hardened and prevented them from decapitating Crona. Maka also states she is unsure if the Witch-Hunt Slash would even work and she wishes she had the ability to attack with her wavelength to do internal damage like Black☆Star.
Medusa questions to Crona why they're moving slow, in which Crona replies with that they don't know how to deal with girls. Medusa then instructs Crona that they should kill them. Seeing that it is "okay" to kill girls, Crona then has Ragnarok perform a "Scream Resonance" and then performs Screech Alpha, in which Maka dodges. Maka moves again as Crona then performs a downward arc slash and moves to stab. Maka blocks with the Demon Scythe but blocking causes Soul pain. Maka manages to kick Crona back, giving Soul sufficient time to explain that the vibrations from the sword's screams cause it to act like an electric saw. Although Soul tells Maka not to worry about him, as he's prepared to die for his meister, Maka looks for an alternative to blocking, as it would injure Soul, and tries to escape as she backs up to the door and attempts to break it down. However as Crona explains, the doors only open inwards and Maka is cornered. Soul urges Maka to block, but she refuses to let him get harmed, so Soul changes to his human form and gets struck by Ragnarok, in order to protect Maka.
Manga and Anime DifferencesEdit
- In Chapter 4, Sid Barrett enters the dispensary as Spirit explains his divorce from Maka's mother, then intervenes when Spirit seizes Stein by his shirt. At this point, Stein begins to chuckle. In Episode 7, Sid does not appear at all, and when Spirit takes Stein by his shirt, Stein is not laughing.
- Maka reveals in this chapter that only souls on Shinigami's List may be taken and that it is prohibited to over-hunt for souls. Maka also explains that while individuals may be bad, not everyone bad is added onto Shinigami's List such as the Materazzi.
- Maka's comment that she wishes she could strike Crona with her wavelength offensively hints that individuals with the Black Blood is susceptible to internal attacks from the wavelength. This is later confirmed in future chapters.

Agency officers will soon be on the streets to look at serious issues highlighted in a letter sent to them by a group of ward councillors before Christmas.
Borough councillors Chris Sadler, David Walsh, Donagh Curwen and county councillor Tom Phelps Penry wrote a strongly-worded letter after receiving numerous complaints from residents.
Car parking charges and an increase in shoppers have seen drivers parking outside people's homes, and poor public transport does little to encourage commuters to ditch their cars, says the document.
At a Central Walton Neighbourhood Panel meeting to be held on Wednesday next week, people will be told the survey is due to start in a few weeks' time.
"We have a general problem with parking and traffic management," said Cllr Walsh. "The survey by the highways department at Surrey County Council will be starting quite soon.
"They will be surveying all the roads to try to see who is parking where and why. We had a meeting with the highways team a couple of weeks ago and it is determined to give Walton some priority to try to come to terms with the traffic situation. It will monitor the car movements on the various roads to find out whether parking problems are caused by visitors or residents."
The letter focused on three issues — people parking outside residents' houses while they shop, demand for parking spaces in the town centre, and looking at improving public transport.
The councillors have called for an urgent review of the yellow lines, and have said they would like to see controlled parking zones around the central area of Walton.
Winchester Road, Dale Road, Thames Street, Sandy Way, Manor Road and Ashley Road are just a few of the roads affected by all-day parking by commuters, workers and shoppers.
"I suspect some of the cars belong to those who work in the centre and some are short stay shoppers," said Cllr Sadler.
"I think people first started complaining once yellow lines started to be enforced in January.
"Until then people parked extensively along the yellow lines and when people said it was going to be enforced, they then started to park outside people's homes.
"All the ward councillors have had complaints from people — it is a major issue."
The borough councillors had to ask Surrey County Council to become involved in the traffic survey as they do not have jurisdiction.
Elmbridge is, so far, responsible only for the decriminalised parking enforcement, a role it took over from Surrey Police one year ago.
An increase in the number of shoppers visiting the town centre could see more demand for parking spaces than there is supply, a factor that would push more shoppers into the side streets.
"We haven't had any charges brought into the multi-storey car park yet, so when that happens there will be some effect," said Cllr Walsh.
"It is an ongoing problem."
Short-term car parking spaces in the town centre are also a possible solution the councillors would like the highways team to look at.
"We need the highways department to see how residents' parking problems could be solved," added Cllr Sadler.
"The restrictions in the High Street also need to be looked at and we need to consult on a scheme that is suitable for the 21st century."
The survey is expected to take about four weeks and the officers will then discuss their findings with the councillors.
This could lead to a public consultation on the available options, where residents will get the chance to have their say.
Central Walton's neighbourhood panel meeting is to be held at Ashley primary School, Ashley Road on Wednesday February 7 at 7.30pm.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
There will be updates on crime and police issues from local officers.

Germany should appoint an anti-Semitism commissioner to counter growing hate speech against Jews and Israel from both its home-grown far right and the immigrant community, the interior minister said Sunday, according to AFP.
The minister, Thomas de Maiziere, spoke days after protesters in Berlin burnt Israeli flags during a protest against the U.S. decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.
"Every criminal act motivated by anti-Semitism is one too many and a shame for our country," de Maiziere, the caretaker minister since inconclusive September elections, told the Bild am Sonntag newspaper.
"Anti-Semitism must never again take hold in Germany," he added, pointing to a rise of "derogatory remarks, inappropriate jokes and discriminatory behavior against our Jewish citizens".
He condemned the recent flag-burnings as "the symbolic destruction of a country's right to exist", while Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen also said such expressions of hate were "unbearable".
De Maiziere said when Germany has a new government -- which Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives and the center-left Social Democrats are now discussing -- it should appoint an anti-Semitism commissioner.
Last week, about 2,500 people demonstrated in Berlin against President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and burned one Israeli flag.
German Justice Minister Heiko Maas later condemned the incident and said there was no place for anti-Semitism in Germany.
"Any kind of anti-Semitism is an attack on everyone. Anti-Semitism must never be allowed to have a place (in society) again," he stressed.
German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel also reacted to the Israeli flag burning and said that while criticism of Trump's decision was understandable, people had no right or reason to burn the Israeli flag, stir up hatred against Jews or question Israel's right to exist.
He said whoever did that was "taking a stand not only against Israel but also against the German constitution" and Germany would not tolerate that.
Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert said last week that, although Berlin opposed the move by Trump, it strongly condemned protests where "hatred" of Israel and Jews was expressed.
On Friday, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier also declared himself "shocked and shamed" by the incidents and warned that anti-Semitism was still "showing its evil face in a variety of ways".
Steinmeier stressed Germany's responsibility to learn "the lessons of two world wars, the lessons of the Holocaust, the responsibility for the security of Israel, the rejection of all forms of racism and anti-Semitism".
This was "non-negotiable" for everyone who lives in Germany, no matter where and when they were born, he added.
Ahead of Trump's announcement on Jerusalem, Gabriel had warned against it, saying, "Recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel does not calm the conflict, but rather exacerbates it even further. It's in everyone's interest that such a move does not happen."
He added that "the solution to the status of Jerusalem can only be determined by direct negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians. That is why we reject any step that could lead to an escalation between the two sides. Germany remains committed to the two-state solution in the Middle East."
Following the declaration, German Chancellor Angela Merkel was one of several European leaders to express her opposition to the move.
Merkel said through her spokesman that she "does not support" Trump's reversal of decades of U.S. policy and added, "The status of Jerusalem can only be negotiated within the framework of a two-state solution."

I wonder sometimes whether all young children have as keen an interest in death as my two?
We have recently acquired a hamster - a birthday present for my six year old daughter who had been asking if she could have a pet for about two years before I finally caved in. Three year old has asked on numerous occasions: "When will Emily die?" in a fairly matter-of-fact way.
This morning at breakfast the topic was extended a little.
Three year old: "When will Emily die?"
Six year old: "You can tell when she's dead because she won't move, look she's still moving so she's not dead yet."
Three year old: "Oh."
Six year old (in a very matter-of-fact tone): "When Emily dies will we have to take her back to the pet shop or can we bury her in the garden?"
Me: "Erm, well I don't think they will want her back at the pet shop so I guess we can bury her."
Six year old (after a pause): "Can we bury her in the stony bit?"

Shropshire Council has started a pilot programme with Enterprise Car Club to provide its employees with rental cars as an alternative for business trips.
Five dedicated Enterprise Car Club For Fiestas will be based at Shirehall in Shrewsbury, with more planned in the coming months. The cars will be available for council employees to use 24/7, 365 days a year for business trips. They can be booked online by the hour and accessed with a key card or mobile app.
Shropshire Council said employees previously used their own cars for business trips and claimed mileage reimbursement. The council commented that it believes having hire cars available and making better use of public transport could be more efficient and cost-effective for the business.
In addition to the dedicated vehicles located at the council building, employees have access to the 1,500 Enterprise Car Club vehicles located in 25 cities across the UK.
James Willocks, transport commissioning manager at Shropshire Council, said: "Working with Enterprise, we can track who is booking the cars, when, how far the travel and why, which will enable us to capture and analyse the journey data to hopefully help us significantly reduce our current expenditure on mileage reimbursement.
"We also hope that this scheme will offer potential savings for staff. By providing them with alternative travel options, they could reduce their own personal costs by removing the need for business insurance on their vehicle, reducing wear and tear and additionally reducing the depreciation in value of their vehicle.
"Importantly, as employers are liable for the condition of any vehicles used for business, Enterprise Car Club also helps us with our duty of care to our staff. These new cars are modern and regularly maintained, so we can now be certain our employees are in vehicles that are low-emission and fit for purpose."
Dan Gursel, managing director of Enterprise Car Club, added: "Many local councils have traditionally relied on the grey fleet, but are now realising that this is both costly and can lead to employees driving older, less well-maintained vehicles. It also means they have little control over that travel, as the expense claim is sometimes the only record."

Need Assistance With Vitamins And also Minerals? Read This
Practically everyone realizes that it is important to pay attention to vitamin and mineral intake. Unfortunately, the food we eat does not always contain an adequate amount of these nutrients. To see what they can do to you, you need to know the basics. Keep reading to find out what you need to know.
When looking for supplements, make sure that you look for those that are in their purest form. For example, Vitamin D3 is the purest form of this supplement and D2 is the synthetic version. This means that the latter may not be as effective and may possibly give you different results than you had hoped for.
Do not assume that it is always safe to take any vitamins you want. If you have certain health conditions, it can be quite dangerous to take certain ones. You should also be careful if you take prescription medications since taking certain vitamins can cause a negative interaction with them.
Do you like your child's gummy vitamins? You may need more than one. One gummy vitamin will not do the trick. Determine the right nutrition for you and multiply accordingly. Be cautious because you shouldn't take too many, either.
If you are trying to grow out your hair or nails, consider adding a Biotin supplement. While it won't make your hair or nails grow faster, it will make them stronger and more resistant to breakage. In fact, Biotin is often recommended to chemotherapy patients to help them regrow the hair that they lost during treatment.
To give your immune system a boost, consider taking Ginseg. Ginseng can help your body to regulate its hormones. This will help influence your insulin production, blood pressure, and metabolism. As a result, you will also find yourself thinking more clearly and having more energy to get through your day.
Take your vitamins in the way that's right for you. While the best way to get vitamins and minerals is through food, you may have to take a supplement. If you struggle swallowing pills, you could find smaller or chewable pills to take. You can also use the powders that mix with water.
When you are taking your vitamins, always make sure you eat something with them. Vitamins on an empty stomach can cause you to be uncomfortable and have an upset stomach. You don't want to feel nauseous, and instead you want to focus on the positive effects that the vitamins and nutrients will provide.
Magnesium is necessary for over 300 chemical reactions in the body. Foods high in fiber contain magnesium, including legumes, vegetables, nuts and whole grains. This mineral is used to treat high cholesterol, ADHD, fatigue, migraines, PMS and multiple sclerosis. Magnesium can also be applied topically to speed up healing.
When you are considering taking a dietary supplement, you should consider your total dietary intake and not try to use them as a substitute for healthy eating. Healthy eating is the best way to take in vitamins and minerals. If you feel that you are not eating right, try to change your eating habits before taking a supplement.
It is a myth that you can get all of the nutrients you require just by eating the right foods. Only if you ate a ton of vegetables and fruit, whole grains and proteins, and fat and carbs, pretty much all day long, could you get what you need. Supplements are a must.
If you are a woman who menstruates, low iron may be leaving you feeling depleted. As many as 15% of women are low in iron thanks to menstruation. Be sure to talk to your general practitioner about being tested to ensure your iron levels are fine, and if they're not, get a supplement.
Don't take your calcium pills at the same time as all of your other supplements. Sometimes calcium can interfere with the absorption of other minerals, causing you to not take in as much as you should. You can take your calcium pill before bed and the rest of your supplements when you get up.
Don't take your calcium pills at the same time as all of your other supplements. Sometimes calcium can interfere with the absorption of other minerals, causing you to not take in as much as you should. You can take your calcium pill before bed and the rest of your supplements when you get up.
If you are taking iron or zinc, be sure not to take it at the same time as your calcium supplements. Calcium stops the absorption of the other two minerals when they are in the intestine together, and that defeats the whole purpose of taking those supplements. Just take them a few hours apart.
Consider the pills themselves when you are buying supplements. If you struggle with swallowing pills, you may want to buy smaller tablets or those which are chewable. You can even buy capsules and put the powder into your food or a glass of water. I like to put mine into a bowl of cereal.
Don't forget your children! Kids need supplements just as much as adults do, so be sure to pick up a natural, sugar-free option for them to take every day. If you have kids who are picky eaters, they need the vitamins even more than anyone else, so pick something they're willing to chew on.
Minimize your alcohol intake. Alcohol is often toxic to vitamins. Vitamins can lose their effectiveness or become useless when confronted with alcohol. FDA guidelines call for no more than 21 units of alcohol for women and 14 for men each week. Stay within these boundaries to maximize the effects of your vitamin levels.
To get the most nutritional value out of an apple, leave the skin on when you eat it. You'll want to wash it very carefully, but the skin contains a lot of the fiber that makes eating an apple such a good idea in the first place. Peeling it takes away a lot of the benefit.
If you have a wheat intolerance, which supplement you buy becomes more important. Some pills include wheat, so you must check the label before you purchase anything. There are many non-wheat options for people like you, so you won't be denied the supplement you need http://www.med.unc.edu/psych/wmd/mood-disorders/perinatal just because of your medical condition.
Living healthy must be a routine that you follow each day, and vitamins and minerals should be a big part of it. You don't have to make it a complicated process, just follow the tips that you learned here to help guide you along. It really is easy to maintain your healthy if you know the right vitamins and minerals to take.

The Faerie Godmother's Apprentice Wore Green by Nicky Kyle. ★★★★
What a delightful story!
The village of Styesville believes that they're in need of a knight to solve their dragon problem. But the solution to their problem arrives largely unnoticed: Dea, a faerie godmother's apprentice drawn by the rumors of dragons. She soon realizes that there's something more complex at the heart of Styesville's crisis…
At only about 18,000 words, The Faerie Godmother's Apprentice Wore Green is a very quick read. I was considering it a novelette and then I double checked the length categories. Turns out it just barely squeezes into the novella category! It's definitely a story that you can read in a single evening.
Obviously, The Faerie Godmother's Apprentice Wore Green is a quick read, but it's also a fun one too! While it's an entirely original story that's not drawing off of specific fairy tales, it does use the tropes of the genre in a way that creates a sort of fractured fairy tale feel. For instance, a princess who's parents lock her in a tower until she's rescued by her true love. Only, in this case the princess was in the tower because her parents refused to believe she was aromantic, asexual, and didn't want to be married. Luckily, she gets some help from a dragon.
I don't think The Faerie Godmother's Apprentice Wore Green is being marketed as young adult, but it would make for a good crossover. It's certainly the sort of story I could have read and loved when I was younger. A princess who doesn't fall in love with anyone? Dragons? I would have been thrilled! I was still thrilled to read this as an adult, but I also wish I'd had it when I was a younger girl, a familiar feeling for queer stories.
There's other things I liked about the story as well. The writing style worked really well for me, clear but a bit different from everyday language. I also liked the bit about how our stories get changed to fit the dominate narrative. The creation of history and how it departs from the realities is a concept I always love to see explored.
I would love more stories set in this world or with these characters. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell the author doesn't have any other stories published! It looks like she might have a couple of freebies up on her tumblr, so I'll need to check out those. I'll be watching for whatever she writes next.

Are You Selfish Enough?
- By sajit greene
- March 20, 2015
- Comments Off on Are You Selfish Enough?
Let's re-frame the word "selfish"
When I was about 20 years old, I read a book titled, "When I Say "No", I Feel Guilty". That book was an eye-opener for me. As a shy college student, I wanted to be liked, I wanted to think of myself as a nice person, and I was afraid to deal with conflict. I thought saying "Yes" was the nice thing to do. Eventually, I got the hang of saying "No", but I must admit the temptation to feel guilty can still rear it's ugly head. Loving myself enough to be "selfish" is an ongoing process.
A lot of us were taught to believe that it's "selfish" to ask for what you want, or say "No" to what you don't want. But stop and think about it: Who was the first person to accuse you of being "selfish"? It was probably a parent or maybe a sibling. As very young children, we learn that we're supposed to play nice, share our toys, and let Johnny go first. These are important lessons for a 3 year old. But as an adult, if you ignore your own needs in order to play Mr. Nice Guy, you lose. You lose your self-respect, your power, and your autonomy. It might make everyone around you happy, but are you happy?
Here are five clues that you may not be selfish enough:
1) You're more concerned with what's fair to others than what's fair to you.
2) You attract people who are very focused on themselves.
3) You're afraid to ask for what you want.
4) You're not sure what you want.
5) When you say "No", you feel guilty.
Let's turn it around.
- Give yourself permission to be selfish. Give yourself permission to be self-loving.
- Listen to your gut feelings. Is your gut saying "Yes" or "No"? If someone asks you to do something, check in with how you feel. Does the thought of doing it make you feel heavy or light?
- Know that if you say "No", the other person is free to react however they choose, but you don't need to feel guilty about being true to yourself.
- Take time in solitude to listen deeply to the prayer of your heart. What is your heart's desire? Then, have the courage to ask for what you want.
- Take some steps, however big or small, to create a life that makes your soul sing.
As Jeshua says, in The Way of Mastery, "Self love is the love of the Creator. You cannot love the Creator while rejecting the Creator's creation."
So, it turns out that loving yourself is actually the spiritual thing to do! Who knew?
Leave a comment and let me know an act of self-loving-kindness that you did today.
Who is the Authority on You?
- By sajit greene
- February 12, 2015
- Comments Off on Who is the Authority on You?
Consider these scenarios:
- When a student said "No" to the sexual advances of her teacher, the teacher responded, "You need to learn about spiritual surrender."
- After a young woman told her ex-husband that she didn't want him to come by the house, he yelled, "You're just reacting out of fear, and fear is an illusion."
- A man received an unexpected letter from an angry friend who pointed out all the mistakes the man made in raising his son, and blamed the man for the problems in his son't life.
As you read these scenarios, it's probably obvious that there's a lot of manipulation going on here, But, in real life, when you're in the heat of an argument or you need to confront an authority figure, the emotional charge of the situation can cloud your thinking. It can be difficult to see yourself clearly, when someone tries to convince you that they are RIGHT about you…when they claim to be right about everything you're doing wrong.
Who is the authority on you? You are! As Wayne Dyer says, "What other people think of me is none of my business."
But what if you get thrown off balance by other people's judgment or criticism of you? You might feel especially vulnerable when dealing with someone in a position of authority. For example, if a spiritual leader, a teacher, parent, or someone you consider to be an expert has a negative opinion about you, you might be tempted to value their point of view more than your own. This can also happen with friends, your spouse or partner, or even an enemy. You might get "hooked" by how they feel about you and how they see you.
If you find yourself going into confusion or self-doubt, and you're wondering if maybe the other person is
right about their negative perception of you, here are some red flags to watch out for:
Does the person…
- Use spiritual ideas to make you wrong, shame you, or put you down
- Analyze your actions and tell you exactly how messed up you are
- Tell you, directly or indirectly, that you don't know what you're talking about
- Say you shouldn't be setting the boundaries you're setting
- Deny your feelings
- Claim to know, better than you do, what is best for you
- Blame you for the pain they are feeling
All of the above are tactics for undermining your sense of your own integrity and inner authority. Don't get hooked!
No one can tell you who you should be, what you should believe, or how you should be feeling.
*Please leave a comment and let me know how you keep yourself from getting sucked in to other people's judgments about you.

Kallasvuo to head gaming integration
Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, LL.M., has been appointed as head of board of a company designed to promote the integration of Finnish gaming companies. The board of directors of the forthcoming integration company will have five other members, of which three will represent existing gaming companies. The board of the integration company will be nominated in November.
On 15 September 2015, the Ministerial Committee on Economic Policy took the view that Finland's three gaming organisations (Veikkaus Lottery, Finland's Slot Machine Association RAY, and Fintoto horse betting) should be merged to form one organisation with a monopoly in gaming. The matter was prepared on the basis of a comprehensive Memorandum of Understanding, endorsed also by the gaming companies. The companies will continue to operate as independent actors in gaming until such time that their activities are merged under a single, new gaming company.
Inquiries: Markus Lahtinen, Special Adviser to the Prime Minister, (Economic Policy Affairs), tel. +358 295 160 404

I was reading something Faye Levy said on Facebook about a dish reminding her of Turkish Manti, and I had to explore more to see what it was.
There are many different Turkish dishes I love like shish kebabs, dolmas, and baklava.
Manti is kind of like the Turkish equivalent of Italian Ravioli.
I can't wait to try and make them, then finally I will master the technique of making homemade ravioli too!
