We're having our first heat wave of the summer. The marine layer is taking a long weekend.
Marilyn Harris, of the Khadafy Foundation for Non-Violence, has told me she considers August to be the city's deadliest month. But this particular August had been, while not peaceful -- there were many shootings -- not deadly. We had no homicides for the first three weeks of the month. It was the longest stretch without a death since I began paying close attention. I'm happy to credit good police work, community policing, Measure Y, whatever you want. I like a hopeful view.
But I kept telling my wife it was the weather, here in the coldest, grayest summer in memory. And sure enough, record breaking heat has coincided with a rash/wave/string of killings. Five in one week. Each apparently unrelated to the next. There have been two stabbing deaths and three shooting deaths. There have been killings in East Oakland, West Oakland, and Downtown.
Meanwhile, federal and local law enforcement agencies are meeting to discuss Oakland's gang problem. On Monday, at Oakland's Laney College, two alleged gang members were arrested leaving class. Each was carrying a weapon.

Over the years of trying to dry out my skin and going through many a Rimmel Stay Matte powder, I've learned to accept the fact that my skin is oily. I feel those with oily skin are told so many myths and given bad advice on how to deal with it. Therefore I've decided to debunk some of the myths out there and offer up alternative solutions to the problem.
1. People with oily skin can't use products containing oil.
Using oil based products won't make your skin produce more oil. In fact, a lot of serums and oils can be very nourishing to the skin so don't cast them aside just yet.
2. Oily skin is already hydrated and doesn't need moisturiser.
False! Oily skin sufferers are likely to produce more oil to compensate for the lack of hydration so in actual fact, they need it even more. For this, I'd recommend a moisturiser suited for dehydrated skin such as the La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Moisturiser. It's specifically made for oily skin weakened by overdrying skincare so it's absolutely perfect.
3. Foaming cleansers are the best solution for oily skin.
The more you try to dry out oily skin actually makes the condition worse. Foaming cleansers break down the pH level of the skin to a more alkaline environment which makes it a breeding ground for bacteria. Treat your skin like a sensitive skin sufferer would and opt for a no fuss balm cleanser such as Lush's Ultrabland Cleanser.
4. Oily skin can only use clay masks, not moisturising masks.
If you've made it this far, you'll start to see a trend forming. Clay masks are wonderful and I do think those with oily skin would benefit from them but a moisturising mask will do wonders too. You tend to lose a lot of moisture while you sleep so popping on an overnight mask such as the Origins Drink Up Intensive can restore some of that back into the skin.
5. Oily skin causes breakouts.
All skintypes can cause breakouts so it's not necessarily oily skin that's causing them. Breakouts can be hormonal or a build up of dead skin cells so it's good to look out for a gentle exfoliator to remove them. Now when I say exfoliator, I don't mean the ones with beads in them (avoid them like the plague!) you'll want a good liquid exfoliator like La Roche-Posay's Effaclar Micro-Exfoliant which is gentle and won't strip the skin.
Hopefully this will give a better understanding on how to deal with oily skin. As with all advice I give, it's from my own experience and own research so if you have an alternative solution, that's perfectly fine! Now I think a little skincare haul is in order..

By the time riders engage threadfall, they're rather like an army in the air. They have to go where they are told to go, when they are told to, and that doesn't take a lot of abstract thought. If they did need to relay something complex, they'd have just as much trouble relaying it to Lessa or understanding it from Lessa.
Now if Lessa could tell a wingleaders dragon to tell the wingleader exactly what she tells him that would at least elimnate one dragon from the communication line which we could establish as an advantage.
But that's precisely my point. No dragons are eliminated from the communication line; in fact, another person is
Here's an example using F'nor as the end contact:
That's three intermediate steps to get a message from F'lar to F'nor (and presumably his wing.) Having Mnementh speak directly to Canth eliminates one step and thus one possible point of message degredation.
As has been said before Lessa could also be someone who gathers information from others, collates, analyses it and then uses
sense and wisdom to give further instructions on what she knows.
I see. But it's F'lar who is supposed to direct the Weyr's efforts in fighting Thread. Not Lessa--and she has absolutely no training on how Thread is fought. It's F'lar who should be directing the Wings, F'lar who knows when and where he wants reinforcements and supplies--not Lessa. At best, she's a link in the fighting communications chain at the point in the story we're talking about. At worst, she does what she thinks is best based on her limited knowledge and experience.
And F'lar must aso have thought that, if Ramoth was the only queen and thus not allowed to fight thread, he would have a comfortable means of communication with his weyr while at the same time able to utilize ALL dragons including weyrlings, in the fight. I suppose he might have been thinking that Lessa could coordinate er... replenishment of firestone sacks for instance, in other words, as a go between, between the non riding (but essential) Weyr personnel and the fightin dragons?
But that's not what he said he wanted to use her for; he wanted much more. And replenishing firestone sacks doesn't take a whole lot of coordination, at least for the non-riders. Returned sack empty, fill sack. The weyrlings ferrying stone would have needed guidance, but still, it's F'lar and the fighting dragons who know where they are needed. Perhaps the only really useful thing she can do is decide which weyrling goes next so that Mnementh doesn't have to talk to them all.
Just a few thoughts, these. Remember F'lar was obsessed with numbers and getting everybody to be able to fight or contribute because he expected to have to defend Pern with only the Benden riders! Wen Lessa pulls of her stunt getting the oldtimers forward there were dragons to spare and dragons could even be stationed at advantageous points for communications etc.
Perhaps it's just that the records assumed Weyrleaders would always know how to communicate with their wings, and F'lar couldn't figure it out on his own. I suppose the oldtimers taught him when they came forward.

Grow A Pretty Natural and organic Backyard With These Ideas
Natural and organic gardening has so a lot of prospects as to what you can use, do, and how you can apply it to your personal personal natural and organic backyard garden. Why not consider edge of possessing a distinctive garden and produce your own natural and organic gardening techniques that function for you and only you? This post can assist you commence.
When gardening, be watchful of stink bugs, especially in the slide. They like to feast on all kinds of fruits, as well as peppers, tomatoes, and beans. If they are left in the yard, they can do excellent damage to your crops, so you should do no matter what you can to get rid of them.
Read the offers your seeds came in! Every single seed is various. Some can be planted calendar year round whilst other folks can only be planted at certain instances. Some seeds require 10 several hours or more of sunshine a working day, and others need a lot significantly less. Prior to you impulse purchase a seed package deal primarily based off of the photo, just take the time to know what you are acquiring into.
Consider using natural fertilizers in your garden. These are safer than chemical fertilizers, which can build up salts in the ground more than time. The salts prohibit the capacity of the vegetation to get drinking water and vitamins from the soil. They can also eliminate valuable earthworms and microorganisms which try to eat thatch.
In a dim spot, pre-soak your seeds right away. Just take 3-four seeds, place them in a tiny jar or container, and include them with h2o. The seeds will get the hydration they need to commence growing. This gives the seeds a far better opportunity of flourishing.
Make your prolonged taken care of yard instrument into a measuring device. You can get measuring tape and mark out the units with a black long term marker. This works excellent for wooden taken care of tools. When you need to area your plants out a distinct length, you can use your homemade measuring adhere to measure the distance.
Utilized tea and espresso grounds make very good soil enrichers. The two coffee and tea grounds are wonderful additions when you want to increase the acidity of your soil. If your soil is pH well balanced, introducing the tea and espresso is good, as bouquets such as rhododendrons and azaleas, and fruits this kind of as blueberry, value soil that is on the acidic aspect. You can perform the grounds into the soil prior to you plant your yard, or sprinkle a tiny close to present crops as soon as a 7 days or so.
A valuable answer to hold pests like bugs and flying insects away from your yard is to set basil, garlic or parsley vegetation as trim vegetation about your backyard. These plants have the potential to prevent pests, whilst even now being fairly useful in your kitchen! If a splash of color is a lot more your design, marigolds have a comparable effect.
Consider about berry-producing trees that are environmentally friendly calendar year spherical for your backyard. This offers your backyard a little bit of a "splash" of color, even in wintertime when everything is practically colorless. Some vegetation offer coloration during the wintertime like the Winterberry, and American Holly, the American Cranberrybush and the Frequent Snowberry.
To make nutrient fertilizer from stuff you have around the home, appear at what you have for breakfast. Equally old espresso grounds and tea baggage make an exceptional fertilizer, especially when it arrives to crops that adore acid. Eggshells insert alkaline to your soil, and bananas are the very best resource of the potassium that roses prosper on.
Keep an eye on your lilies. Sadly, lilies are susceptible to virus ailment, such as lily mosaic. If you can, buy bulbs that are confirmed 'virus-free'. During the expanding period, maintain a sharp search out for any aphids, as they unfold the ailment. Make positive to spray with insecticidals cleaning soap at the extremely initial indicator of them.
Accumulate your dust for a soil examination to see the vitamins and minerals your soil needs. You can get this tested at a nearby university's agriculture division, usually for a fee. The fee is nicely value it usually because then you will know what nutrition your filth wants to have a backyard that is effective.
When growing your very own organic plants, you ought to move your seedlings absent from any air vents or radiators right away upon germination. This is simply because your seedlings do not need to be actually heat like germinating seeds do. They require to be cooler in buy for them to develop in the best way.
A normal, albeit relatively wearisome, way to maintain pests and fungus from destroying your natural and organic fruit crop is to use plastic zipper bags. When the fruits are nonetheless young on the branches, area them in large zipper bags secured at the best with staples. Minimize off a bottom corner to allow for adequate drainage.
Many horse farms will give you their horse manure for cost-free if you ask. Some will even transport it to your doorway for a little price. Horse manure is wealthy in vitamins and minerals that plants crave. Usually, the manure is blended with wood shavings to lessen the smell. For the severe organic, make certain that the shavings utilised are also natural and organic.
Cultivate your soil to enhance the quality of your soil. When you cultivate, or till, your soil, you loosen up elements that might be compacted. Compacted soil does not absorb water properly, and it discourages soil micro-organisms from increasing in it. When your soil is correctly tilled, seeds can prosper and expand.
When beginning your organic yard, never forget to plant companion crops. Companion plants are like quite helpful neighbors. They can enrich the soil and keep pests away from your other vegetation. By planting them together, you can keep away from the use of dangerous pesticides or synthetic fertilizer merchandise.
Isn't really making your possess personal organic and natural gardening tactics a great deal of fun? As you have witnessed in this write-up, there are a lot of approaches this can be completed and no two techniques will produce the identical outcomes. There are also lots of customizable options that can operate with your organic and natural yard and spending budget.

"The Irish State is facing its biggest challenge since 1939"
Ruairí emphasised that the response to the earlier challenge had the advantage of a strong Taoiseach, Éamon de Valera, and an equally strong Minister for Supplies, Seán Lemass. Today the political situation is more diffuse.
The starkness of his example struck me forcibly: Dev kept us neutral in the face of serious imperial pressure to join the war, and Lemass kept us fed and alive in the face of extremely adverse circumstances.
And in case anyone jumps down my throat and says that's not how it was, I should point out that Ruairí's comment came at the end of the speeches and not at the beginning. But they made a big impression on me and it is something I took away with me from the evening.
Tom Arnold held the key position of Director General in the Institute during the recent restructuring of the board and he was much praised for how he handled that whole process. What he brought to the Institute was a set of diplomatic skills, a wealth of revelant experience and a vast network of contacts which have been of huge benefit to the Institute.
He made a gracious speech in the course of which he thanked everyone who helped him during his period of office, not forgetting the office and hospitality staff.
He is handing over at a time when the Institute was never more needed. Its research staff, analysts and writers will be expected to make a significant input into the Brexit process, in terms of critical analysis, policy advice and informing the public through firmly evidence-based events and publications. This is the sort of thing it has been doing since its foundation but current developments are seriously upping the ante.
Barry Andrews, who is taking over from Tom, made a short "acceptance" speech indicating that he had already been sussing out the territory and was ready to hit the ground running. His own excellent qualifications apart, he comes from a family with a long tradition of public service to the State.
I didn't get a chance to talk to him, but if I had I would have mentioned a minor, but significant, action by his father in procuring for me from the then Justice Minister, Brian Lenihan Snr, a certificate to import four banned books. I have referred to this elsewhere online.
Brendan Halligan was the founder of the Institute in 1991 and has been its Chairman ever since up to the beginning of 2017 when he handed over to Ruairí Quinn. So with the recent revamping of the Board and change in the positions of Chairman and Director General, a re-envigorated Institute is ready to face what may be its biggest challenge yet.
Brendan made one particular comment which stayed with me. He was musing on how people are chosen for a position like DG in the institute. He had been searching for a word to describe the process and had finally come up with "emerged".
I was very taken with this as it implies a wide consensus on a tried and trusted candidate who will be up to the job. You wouldn't get away with that sort of a process in many areas of the public service which are now stitched into competitive interviews as a safeguard against jobbery, but you can see the benefits of the "emergence" approach in a job like this.
To mark the occasion Tom Arnold was presented with a copy of Carla King's biography of Michael Davitt, a book I will have to read myself at some stage.
Davitt was an amazing individual, founder of the Land League, courageous investigative journalist, hero of Jews as well as nationalists, a Mayo man who lived for a while in Ballybrack, and I could go on.
Below are a few of those in attendance. You can play your own guessing game. I only know who half of them are myself.
If you want to follow up on the Institute and its publications, including a very concise mini-briefing note on Brexit, you can go to the official website and wander round it.

I remember the tall, golden-grey, New Jersey grass
like feathers edging the wetlands.
Dense woods of leafless trees claim again this land where
buildings stood a century ago -- when these were hard working farms
I walk through the vine-tangled thicket on moss-softened ground,
with the first leaves of this springs violets already green
This wood smaller, and more overgrown than when I was seven.
I hoped to find the magic again —
the place where my heart could breathe for a time.
Here, now, in this New Jersey March cold
I see again the girl for whom this out-land world
was warmer and kinder than the world inside that
kindly looking Victorian farm house.
The house that was so grand and imposing
has grown small and sad with time —
as if seeing Gram herself — no longer
the voice of chastisement and accusation — no longer a
great red faced woman threatening with a willow switch —
as if she, also had grown small and sad with time,
crumpled and moldering like the remains of the wicker rocker
on the heap of ruins that was once the ice house.
The red brick school house is of an era long past —
Now abandoned and fenced all around —
as if time could be contained by a chain link fence.
These flattened, dry grasses and bare trees
have been weeping inside me ever since.
My heart stayed safe in these woods
so I could go on without it breaking
kept safe in this land — and in the barn
where imagined lives could be lived as one pleased —
where the upstairs window could be mine alone.
The barn is gone now - returned to the tangled trees —
two crooked windows lie on the ground with glass panes
still unbroken, and cracks of flaking ivory-green paint,
I the only witness
to their lost glory —
to the secret we shared,high up in the barn.
I thought I would return to that one summer day
But I see everywhere in remnants and ruins
the pieces of the heartbreak that I left here
for safe keeping.

It's valuable during this time for loved ones making themselves available for sincere, non-judgmental discussions. The choice to move toward recovery can feel frustrating, and also frequently the support of friends and family is a crucial factor in progressing.
Some individuals take into consideration Stage Three the initial real step toward recovery, as it's when the having a hard time person has actually made a dedication to transform. They could begin to take small steps away from negative practices. Looking into alcohol recovery is likewise typical as well as very handy throughout this moment. Actually, delving into recovery without recognizing exactly what it involves can make it more challenging than it has to be.
For example, the detoxification process could create extreme physical impacts if not approached in the right way.
There are likewise complicated emotions to resolve. For several, dependency can feel like a partnership, something that they have actually been counting on for support. Losing it could lead into the stages of pain: rejection, negotiating, rage, depression, and also lastly, acceptance.
If Stage Three has to do with devoting the mind to recovery, Stage Four is about committing the body. The person is likely to proactively seek assistance throughout this phase. The first activity to take is cleansing, or "detox." If trying a detox alone, the person ought to look for a relative or buddy to check them throughout the process and also be prepared to seek clinical help if they begin experiencing seizures, hallucinations, and complication.
The physicians will certainly conduct blood examinations and health and wellness testings to examine what type of damages the addiction has actually brought upon on the individual's body.
The person may be provided drug to help reduce the withdrawal symptoms as well as suggest a balanced diet plan to eliminate malnutrition. The individuals will certainly also learn exactly what to anticipate during treatment and also recovery.
Once supported, the person will start the transition from detox to treatment. Many individuals choose to use an outpatient program so they can continue operating at their work and also remain close to enjoyed ones. However, for more major situations, medical professionals could advise a partial hospitalization program (PHP) or residential treatment.
During therapy, some individuals will certainly welcome the brand-new, healthy and balanced behaviors they're finding out. They'll rediscover favorite leisure activities that were left in the past, and oftentimes pick up new ones. It's additionally usual making brand-new close friends. Nonetheless, some clients will approve the sober life however will not go after any other life changes after detoxification.
These people might find themselves experiencing completely dry drunk syndrome. They're stuck in every one of their old routines, minus the alcohol. In this state, it's tough to see the benefits of sobriety, and also the person may fight with relapse till they materialize modifications throughout the rest of their life.
As therapy advances, the focus will certainly turn from learning about the sober life to exercising recovery methods daily. An individual in this phase will be uncovering flexibilities in their new life that they might have never assumed they might experience. They'll likely still really feel the temptation to consume alcohol, yet they'll be focused on their objective. Besides, alcohol recovery isn't really regarding avoiding a compound-- it has to do with altering your entire life.
During this moment, the individual might start to feel extreme feelings, developing into just what some call pink cloud disorder. Pink cloud is a stage in which the feelings that were reduced by dependency come flooding back. The positive feelings could feel effective and very motivating. Sadly, when they quit, the lows could be crushing.
Recovery can seem like a roller rollercoaster as the emotions work themselves back to regular, and being unprepared for it could trigger a relapse.
In any kind of stage of alcohol recovery, regression is a really real possibility. Recognize exactly what makes a scenario high-risk for you. If a relapse does occur, bear in mind that it's only momentary. Although you could feel an overwhelming sense of failing, it does not suggest the treatment isn't working.
As a matter of fact, regression is typical and also an approved component of the Stages of Change model.
An alcoholic might start drinking habits at the very first indication of these unfavorable signs, prolonging the cycle of maladaptive drinking habits. To be sure, an individual in acute alcohol withdrawal may feel awful, however in some circumstances, the actual withdrawal effects themselves can be fairly significant-- also harmful, such as seizures. In addition, the moment directory duration that these dangerous effects might happen is quite prolonged-- lasting from one to 3 days after the last beverage was taken in. For these reasons, during this dangerous period, a doctor or other qualified doctor should get on hand to very closely check the person in the midst of intense alcohol withdrawal.
As one could guess, the difficult prospect of weathering these signs and symptoms up until they decrease is just one of the lots of elements that prevent individuals from quitting. Yet, as withdrawal from alcohol is something that has to occur before recovery, many therapy centers give medically monitored detox programs in order to help usher a patient through this moment span as pleasantly as well as securely as possible.
Many individuals include this stage as the last step in the path to recovery. A person who reaches it will certainly feel they no longer need their old behaviors or way of life. The discomfort of alcoholism may also feel exceptionally remote from who you are now. While one Harvard research found that this stage happens after 5 years of sobriety, every person's trip is various.
Keep progressing, and also eventually you'll look back and also see just how far you have actually come.

Lotus is set to unveil a new flagship model in 2020, which will be positioned above the Evora within the British automaker's lineup. That car should essentially be a descendant of the iconic Esprit.
Perhaps Lotus will even choose to resurrect this nameplate, although nothing's been confirmed as of right now. Still, if they do, and if they actually use the Esprit as inspiration, the end result might even end up looking a little something like this.
This render was drawn up by Pol Santos and it represents a modern take on the Esprit, while keeping some of the original car's design traits alive, such as the aesthetic of the hood, door-mounted side mirrors or the way the rear winglets curve downward on its massive rear spoiler.
Everything else is however considerably different. While the original Esprit had a lot of sharp, angular surfaces to it, this render is a lot more curvy and has a very muscular rear end to go with its massive wheels. Side visibility might not be as good as in the real thing, but the panoramic windshield is definitely big enough to make the cabin feel more airy.
Would Lotus really build such a car in the near future? We're not sure, especially since the automaker is currently very keen on creating lightweight track-focused sports cars, with its future flagship also said to be extremely light on its feet. Yet, it would be cool to see a genuine Lotus-badged Jaguar F-Type rival, wouldn't it?

Testament of St. Francis
In the Bull "Quo elongati" of 1230 Pope Gregory IX states that when Francis was approaching his last days ("circa ultimum vitae suae"), he gave a commandment ("mandatum") to his brothers, which he called Testament.
The Testament, written probably in 1226, when Francis was dying, is the most important autobiographical document of the poverello. The description of this document as a "mandatum" indicates the style of a last will given by Francis to the brothers on the model of Christ's own "mandatum" in John 13-17, and particularly in the light of Christ's commandment of love unto death.
In the Testament written in Siena in 1225 (cfr. dictated writings), Francis expressed his last will in three points, which form the basis of this later Testament, namely, fraternity, poverty and obedience to the Church.
The Testament is well documented in the manuscript tradition, and is found in the Assisi Codex. The critical edition of the Testament is that of Kajetan Esser OFM, "Das Testamentum des heiligen Franziskus von Assisi", Münster, 1949.
The Testament was always a hotly debated document in the history of the Order. It presents the evangelical ideals of Francis as he originally conceived them, and sometimes it entered in direct conflict with the interpretations of the Rule given by the authority of the Church. All reform families in the Franciscan tradition held the Testament in great esteem. However, the intentions of Francis are clear in the text of the Testament, namely that this is a spiritual document which does not bind in conscience like the RegB. Nevertheless, the Testament remains a valuable document to trace the original inspiration of Francis, and the humble beginnings of the Order.
The Lord gave to me, Brother Francis, thus to begin to do penance; for when I was in sin it seemed to me very bitter to see lepers, and the Lord Himself led me amongst them and I showed mercy to them. And when I left them, that which had seemed to me bitter was changed for me into sweetness of body and soul. And afterwards I remained a little and I left the world. And the Lord gave me so much faith in churches that I would simply pray and say thus: "We adore Thee Lord Jesus Christ here and in all Thy churches which are in the whole world, and we bless Thee because by Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world."
After that the Lord gave me, and gives me, so much faith in priests who live according to the form of the holy Roman Church, on account of their order, hat if they should persecute me, I would have recourse to them. And if I had as much wisdom as Solomon had, and if I should find poor priests of this world, would not preach against their will in the parishes in which they live. And I desire to fear, love, and honour them and all others as my masters; and I do not wish to consider sin in them, for in them I see the Son of God and they are my masters. And I do (his because in this world, I see nothing corporally of the most high Son of God Himself except His most holy Body and Blood, which they receive and they alone administer to others. And I will that these most holy mysteries be honoured and revered above all things and that they be placed in precious places. Wheresoever I find His most holy Names and written words in unseemly places, I wish to collect them, and I ask that they may be collected and put in a becoming place. And we ought to honour and venerate all theologians and those who minister to us the most holy Divine Words as those who minister to us spirit and life. And when the Lord gave me some brothers, no one showed me what I ought to do, but the Most High Himself revealed to me that I should live according to the form of the holy Gospel. And I caused it to be written in few words and simply, and the Lord Pope confirmed it for me. And those who came to take this life upon themselves gave to the poor all that they might have and they were content with one tunic, patched within and without, by those who wished, with a cord and breeches, and we wished for no more.
We clerics said the Office like other clerics; the laics said the Paternoster, and we remained in the churches willingly enough. And we were simple and subject to all. And I worked with my hands and I wish to work and I wish firmly that all the other brothers should work at some labour which is compatible with honesty. Let those who know not [how to work] learn, not through desire to receive the price of labour but for the sake of example and to repel idleness. And when the price of labour is not given to us, let us have recourse to the table of the Lord, begging alms from door to door.
The Lord revealed to me this salutation, that we should say: "The Lord give thee peace." Let the brothers take care not to receive on any account churches, poor dwelling-places, and all other things that are constructed for them, unless they are as is becoming the holy poverty which we have promised in the Rule, always dwelling there as strangers and pilgrims. I strictly enjoin by obedience on all the brothers that, wherever they may be, they should not dare, either themselves or by means of some interposed person, to ask any letter in the Roman curia either for a church or for any other place, nor under pretext of preaching, nor on account of their bodily persecution; but, wherever they are not received let them flee to another land to do penance, with the blessing of God. And I wish to obey the, minister general of this brotherhood strictly and the guardian whom it may please him to give me. And I wish to be so captive in his hands that I cannot go or act beyond his obedience and his will because he is my master. And although I am simple and infirm, I desire withal always to have a cleric who will perform the office with me as it is contained in the Rule.
And let all the other brothers be bound to obey their guardian and to perform the office according to the Rule. And those who may be found not performing the office according to the Rule and wishing to change it in some way, or who are not Catholics, let all the brothers wherever they may be, if they find one of these, be bound by obedience to present him to the custos who is nearest to the place where they have found him. And the custos shall be strictly bound, by obedience, to guard him strongly day and night as a prisoner so that he cannot be snatched from his hands until he shall personally place him in the hands of his minister. And the minister shall be firmly bound by obedience to send him by such brothers as shall watch him day and night like a prisoner until they shall present him to the Lord of Ostia, who is master protector, and corrector of this brotherhood. And let not the brothers say: This is another Rule; for this is a remembrance, a warning, and an exhortation and my Testament which I, little Brother Francis, make for you, my blessed brothers, in order that we may observe in a more Catholic way the Rule which we have promised to the Lord. And let the minister general and all the other ministers and custodes be bound by obedience not to add to these words or to take from them. And let them always have this writing with them beside the Rule. And in all the Chapters they hold, when they read the Rule let them read these words also. And I strictly enjoin on all my brothers, clerics and laics, by obedience, not to put glosses on the Rule or on these words saying: Thus they ought to be understood; but as the Lord has given me to speak and to write the Rule and these words simply and purely, so shall you understand them simply and purely and with holy operation observe them until the end.
And whoever shall observe these things may he be filled in heaven with the blessing of the Most High Father and may he be filled on earth with blessing of His Beloved Son together with the Holy Ghost, the Paraclete, and all the Powers of heaven and all the saints. And I, Brother Francis, your little one and servant, in so far as I am able, I confirm to you within and without, this most holy blessing. Amen.

Hey Spookies! This weekend I was lucky enough to go to the wonderful summer #CarnLIVal, organised by the bloody brilliant Katy and Sam. Every event Sam and Katy organise is simply amazing, and this was, of course, no exception!
In the city centre, down a flight of stairs, you find the lovely Yard and Coop. Their speciality is chicken, so there's not a lot aside from fries on their menu for vegans, but their bar is amazing. I can't drink at the moment, but was very much drooling over the cocktails that everyone else ordered. They looked so refreshing and interesting! They were kind enough to provide us with food*, so I munched my way through a whole lot of fries and sweet potato fries. Not sorry. The music playing was also absolutely excellent, although I'm not sure if that was them or Sam and Katy. Either way, it was rad!
Our event was situated in a cosy nook of the restaurant, which was decorated beautifully, with balloons, bowls of sweets, party bags of snacks, and a glorious old-fashioned bath filled with balloons and bottles of bubble bath. Katy and Sam always add magical touches of mystery, and we were each given a pin on the way in. We were then instructed to pop our balloons to find our raffle tickets inside, which was so much fun!
|well, you can tell I watched a horror film trailer whilst getting ready...
Of course, we played traditional #CarnLIVal games, such as the 'naughty or nice' lucky dip, in which I won some weirdly jazzy condoms* and a stress ball declaring my love for sex toys*. Standard. We also played pass the parcel, and a new game of 'pin the camera on the blogger', which was hilarious and so much fun. With my delightful coordination, I did the second worst only to Kazz. We both managed to miss the picture entirely and applied our stickers to the wall, which I'm counting as an achievement!
|My amazing raffle prize and goodybag gift from Wax and Wick Workshop
The raffle prizes were absolutely wonderful, including vegan chocolates, a karaoke set, candles, a meal voucher, and more. I was lucky enough to win a Wax and Wick Workshop soya wax candle*. I can't even begin to explain how good it smells. It's literally the best candle I have ever smelled and I can't stop picking it up and smelling it. It's definitely getting a whole blog post to itself. I am in love with this candle right now.
We were each given amazing goodybags, and allowed to help ourselves to some food samples. There were lots of spare Seamore Seaweed Pastas* left, so I was very kindly given seven bags of it in a crate to take home along with crisps from Seabrook* and Hippeas*! Poor Freddie had to come and collect it for me, and we're very excited to try some recipes with it together! Some of the best bits from the goodybag are Noughty Intensive Care Leave In Conditioner*, 20% off at Gusto*, We Are Tea samples*, and MysteryVibe Crescendo (teehee!)*. I'm very much looking forward to using and reviewing the wonderful things I've been lucky enough to recieve.
After much chatting and eating and laughs with the most wonderful crowd of people, which is by far the best bit of #CarnLIVal, Katy and Sam took us on a short stroll through the city centre to do a secret activity. I'm going to leave you on a cliffhanger now and do a whole blog post dedicated to the fun we had at the secret place. It invloved teamwork and puzzles, so see if you can guess before my next post!
|L-R, Abby, Alana, Kazz, Lauren, and myself!
I can not thank Sam and Katy enough for organising these events. The work and effort they put in is always phenomenal, and the events are always absolutely perfect. They're actual heroes and I love them!
This blog post contains samples and products gifted by brands. This has no effect on my opinion. For more information, including what happens to non-vegan/cruelty-free products gifted, see my disclaimer.

Each year more than 100 acts play Lollapalooza in Chicago's Grant Park, but in the collective consciousnesses, the enduring memory of each installment largely boils down to a single act, from Daft Punk's rare set, to Lady Gaga's headlining show (and surprise side stage cameo).
For 2017, the one they'll remember is Chance the Rapper, Chicago's most celebrated artist in years, for good reason.
Finding a massive audience as an independent artist, with free music on streaming sites, Chance the Rapper defied the industry and broke the mold. With his charitable causes — including a $1 million donation to Chicago Public Schools this year — he's transcended superstar artist and essentially become an ambassador for the city.
On Saturday, he had his biggest hometown show of his career, and possibly the biggest audience in Lollapalooza history.
A big moment needed a big entrance, and Chance didn't disappoint Saturday night, riding across the stage on a motorbike, hoping off and letting it skid out of sight in an explosion of fireworks.
Take a look at some photos I took myself as the crowd became what it was; sum 80,000 people! I sat back away from the crowd with my lovely girlfriend and took it all in!

Towel wrapped around me, I peeked out the bathroom door into Trent's dimly lit bedroom. A T-shirt and shorts lay on his massive, king-sized bed.
I tugged the shorts up my damp legs, but couldn't get them over my bum. More tears pricked as I cursed my too-much body. Trent's shirt hung to the middle of my thighs. It would have to do.
Trent lounged beside the blazing fire pit. The sound of trickling water drew my attention to the right. Brody stood beneath the outdoor shower, his round, bite-able backside flooding my mouth with drool.
Tearing my gaze off him, I ambled over toward Trent. He patted the couch beside him, and taking care not to reveal my too-much, naked bottom half, I settled on the cushion and allowed myself another peek at Brody.
"Hot, isn't he?"
Trent's low, murmured words whipped my head around. "What?"
"Brody." He continued to stare at his friend, a smirk on his lips, lust in his eyes. "Just look at that ass."
Unable to help myself, I did as told while trying to wrap my mind around what Trent had said—and the unmistakable desire in his gaze.
"What do you think, Tessa?"
I swallowed and laced my fingers together in my lap. "I think he's beautiful."
Trent made a sound of appreciation in his throat as Brody turned, closed his eyes, and tipped his head back, running his hands through his hair.
My focus zoned in on his long, flaccid penis. Cock, my whore-mind whispered. I laced my fingers tighter and forced my attention on Trent.
He met my gaze and grinned. "Quite the temptation, isn't he?"
"Enough to make me burn in hell," I admitted with a whisper.

Getting ready to sell? Cast a critical eye!Posted by: | Comments
Experience has shown me over and over throughout the years that the vast majority of potential buyers viewing a home will not able to see past clutter, old/worn or dirty carpeting and worn looking walls, or even a slight "neglected" appearance. While specifics will vary for each property, here is my quick hit-list to be ready for photos and showings:
- Make sure front yard is mowed and/or trimmed for a neat looking street view.
- This one is big, and too many sellers neglect this small but important focal point: The front door and hard ware. If your door is looking faded, or even worse, has a peeling surface, paint it or have it refinished. Replace the door knob if it's looking bad. And make sure the key easily opens the front door. Add a cheery wreath or potted plant beside the door.
- Remove all, and I mean all, clutter. Few among us keep clutter effectively at bay. But when you are readying to sell, this is paramount. Start tossing, good willing, yard selling, or packing away. If in doubt – remove it.
- My mother always taught me that when I'm dressing for an occasion, remove one piece of jewelry to ensure against being over-dressed. In my opinion, this holds true for the furniture in each room (when selling). To showcase the space as spacious – edit the furniture. Go for a nearly spare look. Less is more. Again – give away, goodwill it, or store it if you can't turn it loose.
- Stow away most of the knick knacks and photos. Less is more. You want an almost bare or lightly "staged" look.
- Clean, Clean, and clean some more. Base boards, mirrors, windows, baths, kitchen, closets. Sparkle is the key word.
- If you note something in disrepair – get it fixed. You want to market a well cared for home.
- Make the most of the rear yard, patio, pool area. Trim land scaping, repair bedraggled parts, plump up the cushions and make the most of the seating area. Stage here too.
- Coming back through the house after the cleanse and declutter storm: Add a pop of color here and there with a few of your pretty things: A couple handsome items on kitchen counter tops, fresh towels and a pretty something in each bath.
- I offer each of my selling clients a staging consultation with my stager. She walks through the house and yards and makes a detailed list of recommendations. Your list could be much longer than the above (but if you thoroughly accomplish steps 1-9, you are well on your way), but taking the time and care to carefully primp and preen and (even lightly) "stage" your property will mean a faster sale and more $$$ to take with you.
Before I leave, a caveat: Steps 1 through 9 are key and critical. But if it's been a while since the exterior or interior has been painted, or your carpet is several years old and showing it's age, these home improvements are so very important that I will call them the very basics of home selling.
Here is a great article on the topic Get a home ready to sell .

The Britax King II ATS is a multi-award-winning forward-facing Group 1 car seat suitable for a weight range of 9 kg – 18 kg that has been causing a real stir online.
We were sent one to review this summer, and have taken time to give it a thorough road test, putting it through its paces with our little girl (one-year-old) for journeys between Leeds and Edinburgh, and Leeds and Surrey (plus plenty of short hops in between).
So, let's not waste any more time: here are our thoughts on the Britax King II ATS car seat:
How does it look?
It looks really, really good! You can buy the Britax King II ATS in a range of colours, from flame red (see the snazzy colour below), to ocean blue, to our personal favourite: cosmos black.
We think it looks awesome in our Alfa Romeo with its black leather seats. It also oozes safety; you can tell from one glance that this is a sturdy piece of kit that combines safety with genuine comfort. There's a lot of padding going on, so you know your little one will be comfy, and it just looks like a car seat you'd be happy having in your car for three or so years.
What's so great about the seat – what sets it apart from its rivals?
The tagline on the Britax King II ATS is 'the seat that never sleeps'. This is the car seat equivalent of a paranoid mother watching over her baby while he sleeps. After strapping your little one in at just the right tightness for their body shape (you'll know when to stop tightening thanks to a green light and a pleasing little ping noise), the car seat constantly checks that the harness tension is correct throughout your car journey, adjusting and retracting if necessary with each passing minute.
Amazingly, it does this regardless of the number of layers of clothing your little one is wearing. If there are any issues, you'll know about it thanks to an alert you can't ignore, so you'll know you need to pull over when safe to take action. There's always the temptation with little ones to take a glance at them in the mirror (or just turn around at lights) to check they're still strapped into their seat properly, but with the Britax King II ATS there really isn't a need to do that. You can trust this seat, no doubt about that.
You can also recline your little one as you're going along (ideally someone in the passenger seat would do this!) without needing to stop and wake them. In the picture above, the grey handle at the bottom can be pulled up in order to recline the seat. This is a huge plus if your kids are prone to snoozing on the go and you want them to get some proper rest. This is the case for our little girl, especially on long journeys that might impose on her bedtime routine.
The seat also gets full parenting points from us for being easy to clean in case of those inevitable accidents or sticky fingers; you just need to remove the washable cover (there is no need to remove the harness). We can tell you from experience that this is an easy, seamless process (big thanks here to our little girl's love of bananas – it really helped us test out this feature!).
Tell me about the geeky stuff…
Put simply, if you like your car seat to come with a hefty dose of technical wizardry behind it, the Britax King II ATS really is the seat for you. Here are some of the geekier features to this car seat:
- Five-point safety harness. You may well have the wriggliest toddler on the planet but your little one really is not going anywhere once they're strapped in!
- Active tensioning system. As mentioned above, lights and sounds help you to understand when your child has been strapped in tightly enough. There is no room for doubt here.
- Patented seat belt tensioning system for a secure and easy installation. It really is easy to install this seat. It's heavy to get in and out of the car, but it's extremely straightforward to fix it to the seat.
- Side Impact Protection applies for your little one along the entire seat thanks to deep, softly padded wings.
- Performance chest pads reduce the forward movement of your little one.
- If your child goes through a growth spurt, worry not, just adjust the headrest and harness with one hand!
What's the downside?
The Britax King II ATS cannot be used in all cars. It's not compatible with our Honda Jazz, for instance (except in the front passenger seat, oddly), and so takes pride of place in our Alfa Romeo. This is a shame for us only because we love the seat so much we want to use it all the time no matter what car we're in! You can check whether the make and model of your car is compatible on the Britax website.
Another thing to bear in mind is that you have to pull the harness very, very tightly in order to get the green light and satisfying ping sound. I'd say it takes about three uses to master this – until then, you might worry you're going to pull too tightly and break something but you really won't! It's actually very reassuring knowing that you're really making sure your little one is strapped in tightly. Top tip: if you struggle pulling the harness horizontally until the green light shows, try angling it upwards with the final couple of tugs.
Is it good value for money?
Exceptional value. Retailing at the £180 mark, that works out at about £60 a year, or a fiver a month! That genuinely is amazing value when you take into account the serious technical investments that must have gone in to creating this neat piece of kit. Nothing about this product feels 'cheap'; it genuinely feels like a premium product, but thankfully for parents, it comes without the premium price tag. Win!
Should I buy this for my child?
Well, in a word, yes! This product is especially good for parents prone to worrying (don't worry, we're guilty of it too!) Peace of mind is priceless and worth paying out for, and it's even better when the amount you're paying out represents amazing value considering the lifespan of the product.

Late Morning
~sharon h~
Author's Note: For those that aren't familiar with my work, Gwendolyn is one of a pair of Original Female Characters I dreamed up back in the day. Gwendolyn, also called Wendy, is Chip's younger sister, and I paired her off with Lee.
ōShouldn't you be up by now?ö
I turned my head slightly to look into the crystal blue eyes of one Gwendolyn Dawn Morton. She looked over at me from her side of my bed, a crooked grin on her face. I considered that question before answering.
ōI think I already I am,ö I replied with a crooked grin of my own. I knew Wendy would catch the joke and couldn't help laugh as she peaked under the covers.
ōSo I see. I could give you a hand with that,ö she suggested with a wiggle of one eyebrow. She leaned closed and locked her lips on mine. I gave into it and let the momentum carry us to the next logical step. Or rather, I would have liked to, but I had meetings, paperwork and endless reports waiting for me at the office.
Reluctantly, I pulled away.
ōI have a ton of meetings this morning. I really need to be respectable today,ö I said hoarsely. My body wasn't happy that I had interrupted a very natural function. I silently told my lower half to shut up.
Wendy also wasn't impressed by my logic. She was nibbling on my left ear lobe and again her low voice sounded in my ear.
ōScrew respectable,ö she whispered. I just shook my head. Leave it to Wen to turn everything into double innuendo.
ōI have to shower,ö I said, swinging my legs out from under the covers.
ōYou wash my back and I wash yours,ö suggested my blonde bed-mate as she climbed out after me. I caught her around the waist and kissed her again.
ōSounds like a plan.ö
Twenty minutes later I was trying to get dressed, tying the laces on my black dress shoes. Wendy was watching me, her long blond hair damp from our shower, those long legs of hers sticking out of the bottom of my red plaid flannel robe. She still was wearing that half smirk on her face. Wen's sense of humor escaped me some times. It was like she was in on the world's biggest secret and somehow I was part of it. Finally I couldn't stand it anymore. I pulled a tie from the top drawer and flipped up my collar.
ōWhat's so funny?ö I asked.
ōJust thinking about how dead sexy you look in uniform. I like the blue better, but I'll take the khaki.üh
She walked toward me and placed both hands on my chest, tip toed and kissed me again, deeply. I kissed her back, putting everything I had into it. I felt nothing else, just her, the texture of her skin, the smell of her damp hair, her taste, like vanilla on my lips and tongue. I wrapped my arms around her, lowered her to the bed. My hands moved under the flannel and she moaned under me, her muscles flexing under my touch. I felt a shiver roll over her body, and felt her fingernails prickle my back though my shirt.Ā Again duty was calling to me. I had to cut this short, or else I would never get to the office. I pulled back from the kiss, coming up for air. Even an experienced diver needs to breathe.
ōHold that though,ö I said, setting to work with the tie again. Wendy pulled the robe back together and sat on the edge of the bed. She didn't seem mad, but rather resigned, like she knew this was going to happen. Damn, what did I do to deserve her?
I was finally dressed, and everything was finally under control. Not happy, but under control. I left Wendy with a quick kiss on the forehead and a promise to finish what we started when I got off from work. Hopefully nothing would explode and no one would try to kill me today. That would put a definite damper on my evening activities.
I was half way out the door when my cell phone buzzed. I glanced at the caller ID and recognized Chip's number. A little puzzled, I answered.
ōHey bro, what's up?ö
ōLee, I hope you haven't left yet."
ōI'm just about to. Why?"
ōThe admiral just called me to remind you that the entire Administration building, Physical Sciences, and the labs are being fumigated today."
I stopped dead in my tracks. ōFumigated? Damn, I forgot.ö
ōDon't feel bad. I did the same thing. Angie and Denise are working on contacting everyone. The Admifal said to consider today a freebie. I have a few things to check on. I'm going down to the dock later. What about you?"
"Don't feel bad. I did the same thing. Angie and Denise are working on contacting everyone. The admiral said to consider today a freebie. I have a few things to check on, I'm going down to the dock later. What about you?"
ōYeah, I have some unfinished business. I'll catch you later. "
I hit the disconnect button and stared at cell phone in my hands. I shed the jacket, and dropped it into the chair, the phone landed with a clatter on the lamp table by the door. I stopped long enough to make sure the front and back doors were locked, then took the stairs to the bedroom two at a time.

On the evening of March 19, 1992, the defendant, while driving in an intoxicated condition, struck an individual, severing one of his legs and permanently disabling his other leg (personal injury). The defendant fled the scene with several motorists in pursuit. In an effort to elude his pursuers, defendant ran several red lights and ultimately collided with a vehicle (car accident) in which the second complainant was seated. Although defendant then attempted to flee on foot, he was apprehended by a by-stander. The police arrived shortly thereafter and the defendant was arrested.
After a jury trial, the defendant was found guilty of vehicular assault in the second degree for leaving the scene of an incident without reporting and reckless endangerment in the first degree.
The Vehicle and Traffic Law provides that "Any person operating a motor vehicle who, knowing or having cause to know that personal injury has been caused to another person, due to an incident involving the motor vehicle operated by such person shall, before leaving the place where said personal injury occurred, stop, exhibit his licence and insurance identification card … give his name, residence … and [other enumerated] information … to the injured party, if practical, and also to a police officer …"
According to a New York Injury Lawyer while the defendant failed to stop, report or provide any of the requisite information to the alleged victim (the second complainant) after he collided with her vehicle; instead, fled the scene of the second collision on foot, the trial evidence did not establish that the alleged 2nd victim sustained any personal or physical injury.
The Vehicle and Traffic Law contains an inherent anomaly where it is required that the offending driver have "scienter"–i.e., that he must "[know] or [have] cause to know" that personal injury has been caused to another person by virtue of his operation of a motor vehicle. The offense of leaving the scene of an incident without reporting, however, necessarily arises because the offender does not stop, inquire or ascertain whether injury resulted from his operation of a motor vehicle. Instead, the offender ignores the consequences of his actions by leaving the scene. Unless a person involved in a motor vehicle incident stops and/or inquires, the element of scienter (knowledge of the resulting injury) may be difficult to establish. It has been held that such knowledge can be gleaned or imputed from the circumstances surrounding the collision. The Court concluded that a jury could reasonably find that the victim's head hit defendant's windshield and that defendant, therefore, knew or had cause to know that personal injury was, in fact, caused to another. Where the impact of a motor vehicle collision is of great magnitude, a finding of scienter (or knowledge of injury) may be implicit. In such event, a jury could reasonably conclude, based upon the nature and extent of the impact, that personal injury was sustained by another and that the offending driver would have cause to know of such injury. Accordingly, it would appear that in the more typical "fender-bender" type collisions, the "victim" must, in fact, sustain some degree of personal or physical injury before knowledge of injury can be imputed to the offending driver.
A defendant's criminal culpability is measured by (1) the fact that he left the scene of an incident without reporting and (2) the extent to which he has harmed the victim. It follows that a prerequisite to finding a defendant guilty under either subdivision is that the victim actually sustain the type of damage or injury delineated in that particular subdivision. A Bronx Personal Injury Lawyer said that only then can it fairly be said that defendant "should have known" that the specific form of damage or injury had been caused to another by virtue of his operation of a motor vehicle.
The trial evidence did not sufficiently establish that the alleged victim sustained any personal injury as a result of the collision with defendant. Only damage to the automobile was sustained; hence, dismissed.
Now, the issue is raised on the imposition of Consecutive Terms of Incarceration, according to a Manhattan Personal Injury Lawyer. The Penal Law provides that there are two situations in which sentences imposed for two or more offenses must run concurrently – where offenses are committed through a single act or omission or where an act or omission constitutes both one of the offenses and a material element of the other.
The crimes for which defendant stands convicted were not committed through a single act. These acts constituted the crimes of vehicular assault in the second degree, leaving the scene of an incident without reporting (as to the first complainant) and reckless endangerment. Each crime was committed through distinct acts, occurring in a "consecutive" time frame, rather than as a result of a single act or omission.
As repeatedly held, where one crime is effectively completed before the other crime takes place, consecutive sentences is justified. The continuous, heinous course of conduct of the defendant, constituting three distinct criminal acts, warranted the imposition of consecutive sentences of imprisonment for leaving the scene of an incident without reporting, as a felony.
Have you been injured because of the reckless driving of another or you know someone who is? Are you tired of the wanton disregard of another of your right to be safe in your person? Stop these reckless individuals from endangering themselves and the people around them. Contact Stephen Bilkis & Associates for consultation.
