In 2017, the National Funeral Directors Association released a report that
found the rate of cremation had surpassed the rate of burial in America. More
than 50% of Americans chose cremation in 2016, and that percentage is expected
to rise to 78.8% by 2035 (1). The first cremation in America was performed in
1876, and by 1980 the cremation rate was less than 10% (2 & 3). So why has
the popularity of cremation grown so much in recent years?
Traditional burials can costs thousands of dollars more than cremation.
Purchasing a casket, embalming and a cemetery plot are not necessary for
cremation, but add a hefty price tag to burials (4). Location also plays a
factor, and land for gravesites is more expensive in coastal and mountain
regions (5). Direct-cremation, which tends to be the least expensive option, is
rising in popularity.
In decades past, generations of one family would all be buried in the same
cemetery. Today, it is common for families to spread out and move more
frequently, causing fewer people to want to be buried in the same location
where they live (6).
For some religions, cremation used to be taboo. In 1963, the Vatican allowed
cremation for members of the Catholic church as long as their ashes are not
scattered (6). As cremation becomes a more mainstream practice, the religious
stigma associated with cremation is expected to become less prominent (5).

Practices, an online funeral continuing education course from FuneralCE®,

Following Andy Murray's hard-fought battle to remain World No.1 at the end of the season, we take a trip down tennis memory lane to one of his first television appearances on BBC Scotland.
Training on what looks like an incredibly wet clay court, the 14-year-old Murray isn't a million miles away from the consummate professional he is now: ambitious, focused and with unflinching support from his mother Judy.
As is always the case with "origin" videos, some of the comments are remarkably prescient, especially "it may not be long before Scotland has somebody on par with the likes of Tim Henman… despite the weather". Not half.
Also, skip forward to 2.08 for perhaps one of the worst backhand volleys ever captured on film.

ARX is the future of strength training. No weights, No injuries, No wasted time. Every rep is computer controlled to deliver the maximum amount of resistance on the concentric and eccentric part of the movement, a feat that would be impossible in an ordinary gym. Get your best gains in the shortest amount of time and compete against your past workouts. The magic in the ARX machine is the ability to achieve a maximal eccentric in each repetition leading to greater neural drive, osteogenic effects and a cascade of muscle building signaling leading to greater Testosterone, GH and IGF-1. The ARX is the ultimate embodiment of ROI with incredible results in a ridiculously short amount of time.
Carol stands for cardiovascular optimization logic. Literally in 2 20-second sprints you get a workout equivalent with that of a 45-minute jog. Carol uses heart rate monitoring and high intensity interval training to achieve her magic. She adapts to your fitness level and provides resistance catered to where you are at the moment. She also gets to know you over time, thanks to her built in A.I., and tracks your progress through an online portal.

MaxxO2 trainer effectively saturates your blood with oxygen creating a short-term blood doping effect or increased oxygen-carrying capacity of the red blood cells.
Muscle cells are factories that take the raw materials, oxygen and glucose and turn them into energy. MaxxO2 training gives the body the increased capacity to operate more efficiently with greater power yield and better athletic performance.
Additionally, MaxxO2 allows one to toggle between 93% to 14% oxygen allowing for an atmospheric adaptive stimulus.
When you compare full-body cryo to all nitrogen machines:

Full-body cryo is an evidence-based treatment that safely reduces body temperature while increasing endorphins, adrenaline and oxygen supply. The benefits of full-body cryotherapy are numerous and broad-ranging, including but not limited to:
Harness the power of light. This powerful modality allows users to expose themselves to the most healing force in all of nature, light. The Theralight 360 envelopes the whole body in healing light frequencies that have been proven in clinical studies to promote muscle recovery, decrease inflammation, and boost mitochondrial function. All this and in the shortest amount of time of any light bed on the market. Come experience the power of red.
The CVAC (Cyclic Variations in Adaptive Conditioning) Process provides the benefits of traditional aerobic and anaerobic exercise without the joint stress and physical exertion that can be associated with these activities. The CVAC Process does this by challenging the body with the increased effort required to adapt to dynamically varied, patterned changes in air pressure.
Air is steadily drawn out of the CVAC Pod to create a low-pressure environment. Fresh, filtered air is then dynamically returned providing changes in pressure and varying the density of the air. The body's energy systems get a workout while the lymphatic system receives a 'touchless massage,' that facilitates the removal of waste products.
The increased physical workload of your exercise or athletic activity causes the parts of the cell that create energy to become stronger and more efficient. Your energy output for use during future activity is improved; however, increased physical workload can often be accompanied by muscle tearing, joint stress, and lactic acid buildup.
The CVAC (Cyclic Variations in Adaptive Conditioning) Process creates an atmospheric workload that challenges the body using natural and tolerable stressors. Changes in pressure set up waves of tension and resolution; in this way, CVAC Sessions allow an athlete to continue to gain improvement in energy production even on rest days taken to avoid overtraining.
The science behind PEMF is a well-studied methodology that's been around for over a hundred years. The PulseCenters PEMF bridges the gap between early pioneering discoveries and modern technology to create a natural alternative to greater wellness. It's used to mitigate pain, stimulate immune support, improve performance, and enhance brain function as well as so much more.
According to research from Yale Medical University from as far back as 1932, they discovered that the depletion of electrical energy from the body is the root cause of general unwellness. PEMF, or a pulsed electromagnetic field, is a donating source of energy that helps the body repair/regenerate/rebuild naturally, enhancing the functionality of cells.
Imagine your body as a battery — daily stressors slowly drain your body of its energy to function optimally. By the end of the day, you're mentally, physically, and emotionally depleted. That's where PEMF technology comes in! PEMF is like re-energizing your internal battery. To function optimally the energy needs to be restored. Research and overwhelming anecdotal evidence* confirms using Pulse technology will truly enhance your energy.
No matter what state of health you're in, and no matter what you want to improve, Pulse PEMF exercise can help. PEMF is a relaxing, non-invasive, and drug-free therapy that can help you reach your body's full potential.

At the risk of treading on sacred ground, we will attempt to present an unbiased physiological assessment of what would be termed more so as static stretching. Stretching is a bit of a 'touchy' subject given that many tend to adhere to the notion that stretching is generally 'good'. And it is 'good' but the timing and type can make the difference. &nb...

We often face some challenges when working with Xamarin.Forms.
In a similar instance, I faced one when trying to read Contacts. I found myself in a fix because the data that I had received for an Image was basically a URI with type content://
The data retrieved from the Contact for a Thumbnail was something like this:
Obviously, Xamarin.Forms is fully equipped to deal with any sort of ImageSource that comes in its ways, except something that is directly a platform specific.
In order to render this, I went ahead with DependencyServices.
Here's my implementation for this:
public interface IContentImageService { Stream GetImageUri(string contentUri); }
[assembly: Xamarin.Forms.Dependency(typeof(ContentResolverMethods))] namespace YourNamespace.Droid.Dependencies { public class ContentResolverMethods : IContentImageService { public Stream GetImageUri(string contentUri) { var uri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse(contentUri); return Android.App.Application.Context.ContentResolver.OpenInputStream(uri); } } }
Now in order to use this, you can always invoke the method implemented in Android using DependencyServices from within the Xamarin.Forms Project which is either a .NetStandard, Shared or a PCL based project
var stream = DependencyService.Get<IContentImageService>().GetImageUri(imageUri); return ImageSource.FromStream(() => stream);
Happy Coding!

At the end of the last ice age, a single language fractured, until it became the languages we speak across Asia and Europe.
At least 15,000 years ago, a single language started to break up. It broke into about seven different languages and, over the next 5,000 years, splintered into thousands more. Those languages became what's spoken by billions throughout Europe and Asia.The seven languages are part of a "superfamily" of Eurasiatic languages, the Guardian reports, a long-debated theory on the history of human speech. It's tough to definitively trace back words when about half of words are replaced by completely different words every 2,000 to 4,000 years, but the British team advancing the super-languages theory has already shown in another study that certain words stay the same for tens of thousands of years longer. Using a computer model to search for words that only changed very, very rarely, the team determined which modern words likely sounded similar to the same words in ancient languages, then checked their results against a list of words reconstructed by linguists. That pointed them to a split from a common language at about 15,000 years ago.
Also interesting are some of the "ultraconserved" words that seldom changed throughout history: Frequently used words like "I" and "we" understandably have a long history but also, inexplicably, the verb "to spit." Apparently spitting is essential to our development as humans. …
… they started from a pool of 200 words that linguists know to be the core vocabulary of all languages, and then tried to work out which of them had common meanings and a similar sound in different languages. Once they'd done that, they tried to work out how the words were shared across different languages stretching back in time, and what root words they'd been associated with.
The result is a list of 23 words which appear to be common to four or more language families through time. It's unlikely that similar sounding words cropped up by accident, and the fact they've endured is probably down to the fact that they are common and important to daily life. All of which means, of course, that if you were to go back in time – even 15,000 years – you might, just about, maybe, possibly be able to communicate with whoever you meet. …
Here are the 23 words:
thou, I, not, that, we, to give, who, this, what, man/male, ye, old, mother, to hear, hand, fire, to pull, black, to flow, bark, ashes, to spit, worm

Would the update affect the normal Traveler's Map and permanent 2-way Traveler's Map (Archaeologist's Map)?
level 1 Yullie@davidl92
Hi :)
The patch notes does not mention anything about Traveler's Map/Archaeologist's Map so those items will not be affected.

Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in Wales have higher levels of confidence than their UK counterparts, despite challenging business conditions and increasing uncertainty of UK and global economic prospects, according to the first annual report published by Economic Intelligence Wales (EIW).
The new research unit is a collaboration between Cardiff Business School, the Office for National Statistics and the Development Bank of Wales, created to monitor the activity of Welsh SMEs, factors affecting their development and the progress of the regional economy.
The development bank announced in May that it invested £80 million into SMEs in 2018/19 which is an increase of nearly 18% on the previous financial year. This is a strong demonstration of a growing appetite for investment, reflected in the increase in the number of Welsh SMEs using external finance which is 5% higher than the UK average....

From its humble DC comic origins through to its decidedly B-Movie appeal, Swamp thing is one of more interesting comic book failures (along with its low budget 1989 sequel The Return Of Swamp Thing from schlock-mister Jim Wynorski). Overwhelmingly camp in places, with some incredibly dated effects work; Swamp Thing's first foray onto the silver screen does contain a few moments of endearing quality. And with The Good Bad Movie Club doing a 35mm screening this coming March (along with the recent new 52 start by DC Comics), what better time to revisit this cult comic book flick.
One of the films main problems is that it has trouble deciding whether it is for kids, or juvenile adults. It may constantly feel off-kilter, a muddled mess and never really manages to grab the attention long enough, but Swamp Thing has enough charm within its gooey green center that it holds a nostalgic feel (like most 80s comic book adaptations) over all who watch it.
Lets start with a bit of Swamp Thing history for those unfamiliar with the big mean, protect of the green. Originally published in the early 1970s by DC comics and from the creative mind of Len Wein (creator of Wolverine) Swamp Thing has built up an extensive back catalogue of writings, including an interpretation by notorious brilliant comic book writer Alan Moore. Although Alan Moore would have likely got up and thrown the screen out of the window if he saw this all the way through.
Unlike Cravens previous efforts this is a little more light and breezy. This means it contains very little of his darkly comic wit or terrifying sense of dread. But as mentioned before this does contain a few moments that make you warm to its undeniably camp charm.
Most of the early stunts which happen primarily involve bad guys been thrown into the swamp or onto soft looking patches of ground. While towards the films climax there is a marginally enjoyable moment of high camp as our hero takes on another mutated monster (I won't spoil who that is), which has some considerable sword skills. Not bad when you consider that it is just a bloke in a suit. It becomes strangely hard not to, at the very least, chuckle when the rather hokey looking effects are shown. But then that is all part of the films appeal, the moments of high camp truly giving off the feel of a comic book come to life.
Well a comic book coming to life is all well and good but the performances are more wooden and C-grade then the trees surrounding the swamp at times. That said the late great psycho for hire David Hess provides an entertaining performance as the lead henchman (along with some of the better lines). He chews the scenery almost as much as head honcho Louis Jourdan, producing a good portion of the films more enjoyable moments. His attempted seduction of Adrienne Barbeau's feisty researcher, only to be promptly abuse – in a rather sensitive male area, is certainly an enjoyably lighthearted sequence. It is almost as if his character is a distant (and less perverse) relative of Krug from Last House On The Left. Plus if any of the guys (or girls) out there had a thing for Barbeau in the 80s, there is a titillating skinny dipping scene for the well-intentioned pervert.
Its clear how over the years this has gained a steady cult following and as a piece of entertaining hokum, it has more then its fair share of silly moments. One thing it does do (at times) is make one pine for the good old days of CGI free monster films, when men wore suits and a suspension of disbelief took care of the rest. In hindsight 80s genre films where certainly a breed unto their own particularly in the case of Wes Craven's Swamp Thing. And even if time has not been kind to its aged effects and action scenes, its cult following has made it live a long and more fulfilled life long after its cinema release. Here's looking forward to March and the first 35mm print to be screened in England for a very long time.

Students with language disorders may struggle to learn, retain, describe and connect vocabulary words, causing them problems with functional and academic communication. Apps to the rescue!
Clinicians can tap a number of app- and web-based tools to help students connect vocabulary to material in and beyond the classroom.
Picture power
Photos, semantic maps and other visual supports can be key to bolstering word learning. Quickly create photo arrays to define words using the app Pic Collage (free for iOS/Android). You can do this via the app's precise, relevant web search (using a restricted, kid-friendly version of Microsoft's Bing search engine). You can also import photos from your device's photo library.
Use built-in apps to support clients' life skills.
Consider co-creating photo grids to define words with students. It's a fun cognitive challenge for them to find photos to illustrate more abstract vocabulary words. For example, they might search "raising hands" for participate. Pic Collage is a blank slate, so you can also use it to display text and organizational schemes helpful for learning vocabulary. For instance, you can render the Freyer Model, in which word definitions are included along with other semantic elements, such as characteristics and examples.
You can also use apps to create semantic maps—visual representations of related word meanings and associations. Do this with such student-friendly apps as Kidspiration and Inspiration (free to try for iOS, versions available for laptop or web). Kidspiration offers an additional feature, "Super Groupers," which visually organizes words and pictures by category. For example, you can group together items associated with a season—such as scarves, boots, snow and hot chocolate for winter (see more about this on my SpeechTechie blog).
Another option for creating semantic maps is Google's Drawings tool—accessible from the same "new" menu you use to create docs in Google Drive. Build your maps with the tool's options for shapes, text and color coding. Use the scribble tool to sketch pictures of vocabulary words. Also consider using these apps along with multisensory manipulatives, such as the "Expanding Expression Tool," which builds understanding of word category, function and appearance.
Facilitate retrieval
Apps provide opportunities to "sync" with other evidence-based practices for vocabulary building. Consider, for example, the finding by language researcher Diane German and her team that students with word-retrieval difficulties benefit from an approach targeting phonological and structural features along with semantic properties.
To this end, you can have students divide words into syllables and create "same-sound" or "familiar-word" cues in thought-bubble visuals. Access thought bubbles through a range of tools including Google Slides, PowerPoint and Book Creator (available in app and free web format). Students can also keep vocabulary journals in Book Creator.
Word play
What better way to build and practice vocabulary than through games? They're naturally motivating for students. Check out, for example, the interestingly named World's Worst Pet-Vocabulary (free for iOS), which targets more than 1,000 vocabulary words in contextual groups. In this game-based app, students help the character Snargg (the so-called worst pet) find his way home by solving vocabulary challenges. The app aligns with the Common Core State Standards and the "Bringing Words to Life" approach to building Tier 2 vocabulary.
Also tap the app Epic! Books for Kids to access a digitized library of kids' books and quizzes through which you can emphasize words' role in story-telling. The free, extremely popular classroom tool Kahoot! allows you to quickly create customized vocabulary games playable in game-show fashion. Students can use classroom iPads, Chromebooks—or even smartphones—to play the games.
Other apps for creating and playing vocabulary games include Bitsboard and Quizlet. Simply plug in your curriculum-based lists and the apps supply helpful images for game play. For another engaging take on wordplay, try Flocabulary. This app offers free hip-hop music videos targeting vocabulary across a range of areas, including types of rocks, the nervous system and colonial America. So go app up that word-learning!

Season tickets are now on sale for William Woods University's theatre program, which this year comprises a musical, a satire, an Arthur Miller drama and a farce.According to Joe Potter, assistant professor and artistic director of theatre, season tickets provide several benefits: a 20 percent savings on regular ticket prices, preferred seating and no standing in long lines at the box office.
Season ticket prices are $40 for adults, $21 for children ages 6-12 and $34 for senior citizens ages 62 and above. They will be available through the final performance of "The Glorious Ones" Oct. 13.
The season begins with the musical "The Glorious Ones" at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 10-12 in Cutlip Auditorium, with a matinee at 2 p.m. Oct. 13. This is a backstage musical about the lives, loves, ambitions and art of the performers in a 16th century Commedia Dell'Arte troupe in late Renaissance Italy.
Both slapstick and serious, the musical tells how the troupe came to be and how it captured the public's adoration with its comedy before changing artistic fashion altered its way of life. It follows seven archetypal characters—the charismatic leading man, the sly harlequin, the quack doctor, the old miser, the voluptuous leading lady, the devoted dwarf, and the elegant Moon Woman—as they search for immortality and love.
"The Glorious Ones" will be directed by Joe Potter. Choreography will be created by Adrienne Branson, dance instructor. Musical direction will be provided by Rebecca Talbert, music instructor. Staff member Jane Friedman will design the costumes. Michael Dodson, a theatre graduate assistant, will be the assistant musical director.
The second mainstage production is a satirical play that reflects on reality television. "The Dead Guy," by Eric Coble, will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 5-7, with a matinee performance at 2 p.m. Dec. 8 in Dulany Auditorium. The play opens with Eldon Phelps and Gina Yaweth at a bar. Gina convinces Eldon to star in her new reality television show, "The Dead Guy." The premise of the show: Eldon is given a week and $1 million to spend however he wishes, but there is one catch—at the end of the week, Eldon must commit suicide in a manner determined by millions of online and telephone voters.
"The Dead Guy" will be directed by Melissa Alpers-Springer, assistant professor of communications. A guest scene and lighting designer for this production will be announced later. Jane Friedman will provide costume design.
Arthur Miller's "All My Sons" will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 27, 26 and March 1, with a matinee at 2 p.m. March 2 in Dulany Auditorium.
Joe Keller and Herbert Deever, partners in a machine shop during the war, turned out defective airplane parts, causing the deaths of many men. Deever was sent to prison while Keller escaped punishment and went on to make a lot of money. In a work of tremendous power, a love affair between Keller's son, Chris, and Ann Deever, Herbert's daughter; the bitterness of George Keller, who returns from the war to find his father in prison and his father's partner free; and the reaction of a son to his father's guilt escalate toward a climax of electrifying intensity.
>"All My Sons" will be directed by Kathy Potter, guest artist, and designed by Joe Potter. Jane Friedman will provide the costume design.
The season comes to a conclusion with the farce, "Perfect Wedding" by Robin Hawdon at 7:30 p.m. April 24-26, with a matinee at 2 p.m. April 27 in Cutlip Auditorium.
A bridegroom wakes on his wedding morning and finds a strange girl in bed beside him. During the ensuing panic to get the stranger dressed and out of the way, the bride arrives and the girl is trapped in the bathroom. The only way out of the dilemma is to persuade the best man to pretend that the hidden girl is his girlfriend.
"Perfect Wedding" will be directed by Melissa Alpers-Springer. A guest designer will design the set and lights for this production. Jane Friedman will provide the costume designs.
For more information or to order season tickets, call the William Woods University theatre program at 592-4281.

New Presentation Rules to Follow
March 5, 2014 Leave a comment
There are now new rules to follow in presentations if you want to have beautifully designed slides with not a yawn in sight.
1. No More Bullets – They're not good for your slide design, they don't give any impact and they just clutter the overall look of your slides.
2. Longer Decks, Trust Us – This does not mean more content though. It just means you are stretching the content of your slides to emphasize more space.
3. Templates Are Out – You can be bold by using a bold background photo and attractive text.
4. Storytelling Is In – When you tell a story, you activate that part of your audience's brain that deals with emotions and memories. Your message will be more understood and remembered.
5. Don't Apologize – Need I say more?
For more insights regarding this important matter, please head to this post: 5 New Rules for Presentations

Recipes I've Shared:
Sweet potato kale and goat cheese pancakes
Peruvian eat legums in many ways, especially as a side dish. This is a tasty one. Super simple and healthy. I like to make a small onion salsa to top it off with, as seen here. In Peru I remember eating this a lot with grilled fish and of course white rice (here served with 1/2 cup of brown) and a salad.
Trying to find quick easy options for breakfast on the go. Warm it up and take with.
Quick and easy side dish for my cellophane noodle salad
Nice to eat over boiled potatoes and a bed of lettuce.
Simple low fat veggie dip
Just as a side dish or served on top of egg noodles like I had it. It was yummy!
This is meant to be the main meal. Acompanied with a salad or some other veggies.
This is my take on a Peruvian dish. I am using a roasted chicken I bought at Publix. If you buy raw chicken boil it and use the water instead of the broth listed in the ingredients. If you can't find the hot yellow pepper paste (Aji Amarillo) use a minced jalapeno.
Best served hot and with fresh lemmon wedges to squeeze juice over slice.
This is based off a dish my grandmother cooked a lot. I love it served with white rice being the Peruvian I am. But for me now...it's brown rice. Most often served with Bacalao (a dried very salty fish that is soaked over night in water to remove the salt and rehydrate the fish). It's a Easter dish I think.
Very hearty and comforting soup.
My grandma used to make this for us as kids. We would have it with toast for breakfast but you can add it to Turkey Sandwiches or yogurt. Get creative!
Yummy comfort food made healthy! Makes plenty of gravy.
Chicken liver pate can be healthy and a great source of iron.
Healthy twist on a Peruvian Basil Cream sauce for pasta or just about anything.

The men I never dated – he wanted to be pen pals
It's been a while since I shared a new TMIND story, and that's because I thought I was done. There aren't many men that I got close to dating. So, let me tell you the story of…we'll call him Olu…and the craziness of him.
My oyinbo friend was into making e-penpals all around the world and exchanging cards, gifts and stuff with penpals from Australia to Portugal. Along the way she fell in love with some of these penpals but I wasn't going to be that susceptible (I loathe long distance stuff): I just wanted a penpal who lived in Nigeria so that I could learn more about Naija from them, full stop. In fact on my profile on this website for people seeking penpals, I indicated that I was looking for a female around my age for this purpose.
Well I guess the guys who contacted me thought I was kidding or being coy, because I think only one girl wrote me and the rest were guys. The girl didn't live in Naija but we exchanged a few emails before she stopped replying. I pretty much ignored the guys who were emailing me until I saw Olu's profile. Olu seemed like just the person I wanted to talk to: humble, gentle, and when I told him that I was only looking for someone to teach me more about Naija, he still seemed interested in talking, and learning about Canada. Perfect!
So we exchanged emails for a few weeks, sharing general details about our lives, then suddenly he stopped writing. He came back a week or two later and told me that his mother had passed away. I felt horrible for him! I told him he could talk to me about his feelings, I'd pray for him and his family, etc. He shared some details of the day she died and I tried to be comforting. Anyways, shortly after that, he declared that he was in love with me! This was the first declaration of love from a Naija guy online so I was a bit shocked and I believed him (lol). I didn't see it coming because of the very normal way our emails had been going. There was no talk of girl/boy stuff prior to his declaration; for all I knew he could have been a woman. I think he felt strongly connected to me because I was the person he talked to about his mom.
I was surprised and I immediately told him that I wasn't kidding when I joined the e-penpals site; I was only trying to make friends. I told him that I totally understand if his deep passion for me (har har) would prevent him from talking to me as just a penpal so if he wanted to end the friendship, I understand (I've liked guys who didn't like me and usually when things get really intense on my part I have to take a break from talking to them and get over them before resuming the friendship).
He said no, he'd put his feelings aside, we could continue as friends so we did for a bit longer. He read my old blog and would comment occasionally, always in a friendly tone. He started reading the blog of one other girl I read and after a while he told me that he thought I was her (even though she had details of where she lived on her profile and she lived in a different country) and trying to confuse him with this second blog. I told him I wasn't but he kept insisting.
Anyways, I wasn't sure how to deal with him so a few months after I joined my first Nigerian forum in 2005 I thought: Hey! Olu's looking for love, this forum has some women based in Naija, let me give him the link and tell him that he should join for that reason. So I gave him the link and he said he would join. He said he'd pick a nickname that I'd never assume was him and for a while I didn't know who he was. We continued to exchange emails and then once I figured out who he was, the occasional message on the forum, as friends.
And then, he dropped his second bomb. On the forum.
He posted a one page post about how much he liked me and how we met before the forum and what we've gone through (his mother's death) and all this stuff. I can't even remember most of the details sha but basically it was posted in a way that had most of the regular members of the forum telling me to give the guy a chance. Call me a heartless woman but:
a) I already told the guy, in private months before that I wasn't interested in him
b) Why was he using people that I knew before him to pressure me to date him?
c) Why was he putting all this stuff out there for anyone to read?
Well, the whole thing led to this big mess. I ended up feeling like I had to defend myself, and explain my side of the story to people who thought I was a horrible woman and weren't particularly interested in hearing what I had to say. I introduced Olu to the site to help him find someone he could meet and fall in love with! I never encouraged him in any way, never flirted with him or gave him hope. And then on top of that, he started going a bit nuts on the forum too, messaging random women and telling them that they were me, or telling me that I was these other women. I think "love" made him go a bit nuts.
Anyways, all of this led to a falling out with the forum owner and I (I guess he felt he had to take the side of his "brotha") and that is how I ended up leaving that forum and Olu behind. It was the best decision I ever made and the only thing I regret is the fun conversations I used to have with the others on the forum. Thankfully, I remain in contact with most of the members that I was close to on the forum.
So tell me: what did I do wrong? I guess I shouldn't have believed him when he said he could put his feelings aside and we could just be friends ehn?

Babe u did nothing wrong, xcept blivn he wld put his feeling aside.
The guy went gaga n desperate.
Wait…so the guy got you kicked out of the forum?? besides I don't get why people had to take sides which one consign them sef.
You didn't do anything wrong. I think u handled the situation really well. Some people don't know how to take no for an answer.
off topic..Can u believe its snowing? sometimes I wonder what I am doing in this ashawo country.
u did the sensible thing jare.
for once i ve to agree that u did nothing wrong. the guy was just a lonely looser – was he really in love? hmmmpf, a looser period! But i ve to say though, guys in Naija never get to understand the cool, calculated calmness of the women abroad. And i think ur cool way of rejectin his love affected his ego more than he was ready to admit at the onset – so my dear 'not-a-very-good-specimen-of-a-Naijagirl', in future take it easy on the snowqueen routine.
nuff said
Would neither confirm or refute you did anything wrong (oops, might just have done same) rather, i'd say, a guy that knows his onions (really) can scoop (& woo) any babe (distance or media irrespective). Only, no matters how good a woo(er) the guy is, 'tis always for 'em ladies to accept or not.
Nothing you did wrong, me lady.

The Asia grand View Hotel – all the beauty of Coron without the noise and hassle of being in the town center. Is it as good as it sounds? Is staying here value for money? Is it convenient? There were things we loved and also things we hated about the Asia Grand View Hotel… Read on to find out more…
Our Arrival in Coron
After a few delays at the airport and a seemingly endless wait for our bags, we finally found our courtesy van and were on our way to the hotel. The Asia Grand View Hotel is 30 minutes from the Busuanga Airport (depending on traffic and the weather) so we finally arrived close to 4pm. We were promptly greeted by warm and friendly staff and check-in was straight forward and painless. While checking in, they gave us their signature lemongrass water which was very nice. Once we had our room keys we were off to relax. I must say the Bellboys did a great job carrying our luggage down a flight of stairs and a long steep-stepped path…. Our bags were not light either. Well done guys!
Near reception is the little library where you will find displayed their Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence awardee's which composite of two focal themes: Asian culture and stunning views of Coron Bay. Asian ornaments also grace the walls and corners, while in other areas tropical plants fringe corridors and roofs.
Just after finishing our refreshing welcome drinks, we followed the Bellboys to our room. Be aware if you are elderly, handicapped, or out of shape – there are a lot of stairs/hills throughout the resort, with every room requiring a bit of a walk to get to and from (On out second day, Gary and I used the shortcut going back and forth to our room).
Right from the moment we entered the Asia Grand View Hotel we both loved the relaxed feel and ambiance of the area.
OUR Rooms
When we stepped into our room we felt relax and at ease. The main room was sparsely furnished but comfortable. The decor is starting to look somewhat old but still acceptable. The bed was large (King size) and comfortable, the TV reception was good and the air conditioning worked (we are off to a good start…).
The first thing I noticed is their high ceiling interior, wooden flooring and king sized bed. But… it is lacking a dinning table if you ever want to order room service. The restaurant wasn't that far from our room but a few times after a long day touring, we just didn't feel like walking up there.
Where ever we go, we always try to check everything. Unfortunately, after hearing a noise, I opened the window to find a new hotel being constructed next to us. Not only does the new building significantly reducing the Asia Grand View Hotels "grand view" (I see a potential name change in the future, haha! ), but the construction noise it is very annoying if you're wanting to get any rest during the day (LOL).
The construction crew shows up bright and early, and buzz saws typically begin whirring by 7 am, until 7 pm or so. The hotel management should've inform us about it when booking, its not too loud but would have been nice to know.
Take a few minutes to watch our video of the Asia Grand View Hotel
The Bathroom
The bathroom at the Asia Grand View Hotel was bright, clean and spacious. The shower area also has a pull-out line to dry your clothes on if required (yes, we used it a lot). The only issue we had was the gas hot water system for our room went out on two separate days. Waking up to cold water in the shower and then having to wait for maintenance to restart the flame again was time consuming. Of course we could have toughened up and braved a cold shower (or none at a… phew).
The Water Problem
They don't have a free bottled of water. But even worse… for all you coffee drinkers… NO electric kettle!!! Luckily, Gary kept his bottled water from our Skyjet flight but still… we love our coffee. You guessed it, I called reception and promptly complained about it and was informed that we can get a thermos flask of hot and cold water sent to our room if requested.. After 30 minutes, we received a kettle of cold and hot water. They informed us that we should put our kettle in the balcony before 3pm because they collect and give us a new one.
Be Warned – WiFi
I was very disappointed of their WiFi, or complete lack thereof. Their WIFI is in their reception area. I don't think it's fair for the hotel to advertise itself as having WiFi, as I literally was only able to connect to it twice. Many times, my phone didn't have signal at all – even using mobile data is pretty hard to connect in the internet. Front desk on check-in do provide two pass codes for both the room wifi and reception wifi and warn that this is Coron so don't expect too much. One night around 8pm, I ended up walking down the street to get the signal and internet. As others have mentioned, the wifi isn't great. But that's Coron!
The Food
The breakfast buffet was good and some selections did change each day to give variety. The view from the dining area veranda is amazing and a great way to start the day. We also had dinner here a few times and everything we had was well cooked and reasonably priced. I did find the dinner menu limited and so ate the same dish a few times. This isn't a real complaint as we both enjoyed the food and the service.
The Pool Area
The pool is nicely maintained and clean. We found it great to go for an evening swim before dinner. It is easy to just relax and spend a lot of time in this area.. But, unfortunately we had much to do and little time to do it in.
The staff were friendly and helpful and tended to our concerns the best they could. One night a local tour guide we had used tried to double charge us for a tour by charging our hotel. Lucky we kept our tour receipt so were able to prove we had already paid. The hotel took copies and helped us sort it all out.
The room and grounds were kept clean and tidy. The rooms are not 5 star luxury but they are comfortable and nice to come back to after a long day island hopping.
Wifi is virtually non-existent and you may need to ask for hot and cold water to be delivered so if these things are important to you than this would definitely be a big negative… For us it was manageable.
You will need to catch a tricycle if you need to get into town (about a 10 minute ride and it only costs 10p).
Would we return?.. Yes we would

Natural toxins
Krolevets A.A.. Adress: Kursk. Workplace: The South-West State University.
The article examines natural phytotoxins and zootoxins, which are known since long time ago and were used for "military" purposes (poisoned arrows, etc.) and in medicine since before their separation became possible and their composition was determined. Natural poisonous matters are subdivided into poisons and toxins. Toxins are poisonous matters of animal, plant, or microbially-derived origin. As a rule, those are protein matters. It is possible to relate toxins, which call poisoning, while not the disease, to the chemical toxins.

Ilyicheva Ye. V.. Adress: The settlement of Vorotynets, the Nizhny Novgorod Region. Workplace: Secondary school.
Karpov G. M.. Adress: Nizhny Novgorod. Workplace: The Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical Universuty.
Forming chemical ideas takes place in the following direction: chemical experiment → observation → corporeal model → creating the cogitative image of an object → verbal image → sign model. In this respect ideas about chemical phenomena are formed in the first turn, them their images and, further on concepts. That's why the authors offer to examine the behavior of inorganic compounds of the main classes at the empirical level first, then to say, and only after that to put them into a symbolic shape (to form reaction equations). That allows to decrease a number of abstract ideas and symbolic and graphical means at the first stages of studying chemistry, and, therefore, to facilitate the intussusception of chemical ideas.
Main classes of inorganic compounds.

Secondly, very little attention has been paid to the issues of soil study. We consider it not right to forget about the fact that soil is the main and essential prerequisite of existence of all leaving creatures on the Earth. Different kinds of soil occupy one of the central places when forming ecological situations in biogeocoenosis. That's why an important place in the system of sciences about biosphere belongs to soil research.

About chemists and chemistry: price of discoveries and progress
Krasitsky V.A.. Adress: Minsk. Workplace: University.
Among the big number of occupations connected with natural sciences, an absolutely special place belongs to the occupation of a chemist. If you like, exactly chemists put their lives in jeopardy more often. Having themselves dedicated to chemistry entirely and being busy with it, they put their health and even life at risk constantly, while dealing with the wide range of dangerous matters, among which there are poisonous and explosive, spontaneously inflammable and radioactive ones. A modern chemist has comparatively few chances to suffer in a lab. While during the years past chemists ignored safety issues quite often.

M&S Beauty Sale
I was in my local M&S on Saturday and noticed that there was 50% off much of homeware and Christmassy things, so I've checked on-line this morning and discovered that there are some epic beauty bargains, too – just a few at this stage but prices are completely slashed in half. I'm just going to flag up my top picks without too much description because they're all self explanatory, and mention that at the moment, M&S are guaranteeing pre-Christmas delivery.
Easily a bargain at 50% off (apart from the pointless file 'filler') this set contains 150 ml Gentle Cleansing Gel, 100ml Body Wash, 100ml Body Cream both in the Neroli fragrance. There's also a face sponge/buffer and a very pretty wash bag. It's now £25 from £50 HERE.

This coffret (gosh I love a nicely boxed coffret) containing 50ml Shower Gel, 50ml Body Lotion and their 'Wellbeing Water' (a light scent to you and me) is reduced from £29.50 to £14.75 HERE. I know the scent of Fleur de Figeur really well – it's fresh, green and fruity/floral.

June 2016 – The Book Thief
For the past two years I've been hearing so much about The Book Thief. When I heard there was also a movie I got excited, but wanted to read the book first. Unfortunately I couldn't find the time.
This book follows the tale of a girl named Liesel during WWII. She has a love of books, an accordion-playing foster father, and a Jewish man hidden in her basement. Liesel steals books the Nazi party wishes to destroy, (hence the title.) Everyone says that the characters in this book are rich and very artistically depicted, so I can't wait to begin!

Prince and Milan scored the two goals for the winners.
The Chennaiyin FC 'B' team suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of Tiddim Road Athletic Union (TRAU) FC in a Second Division League encounter at the SSN College Ground here today. After going ahead through Zonunmawia, Chennaiyin conceded either side of half-time and were unable to recover from the deficit.
The boys in blue made two changes following their defeat to Bengaluru FC 'B' last time out. Bibin Boban and Joysana Singh came into the starting eleven in place of Lalliansanga Renthlei and Bedashwor Singh.
Both teams cancelled each other out in a cagey opening few minutes. CFC striker B. Rohmingthanga was a threat with his forays into the TRAU box from the right flank but the end product was lacking. The visitors from Imphal tried hard to break through the Chennaiyin ranks but the home defence stood resolute.
Chennaiyin then took the lead just past the half-hour mark through a wonderful team goal. Skipper Prosenjit Chakraborty's pass found Rohmingthanga's darting run at the edge of the box, who then played a perfectly weighted pass to winger Joysana Singh. Joysana took the ball to the byline and squared it towards the penalty spot, where Zonunmawia was waiting to side-foot home CFC's opener.
The hosts continued to play with poise after going ahead but a moment of inexperience lead to TRAU's equalizer just before the break. Princewill Emeka, TRAU's Nigerian forward drove at a CFC defence that kept backing away. Emeka went on to unleash a fierce strike that went in off the underside of the cross-bar.

Why a move for Mehtab Hossain makes sense for East Bengal
TRAU began the second period strongly, with Ngangbam Naocha's surging run 30 seconds after the restart resulting in a brilliant diving save by CFC 'B' keeper Sayak Barai. And TRAU's constant pressure in the ensuing period paid off in the 53rd minute when Laishram Milan Singh flicked the visitors into the lead after a low cross from the right.
CFC 'B' almost drew level on 77 minutes after Joseph Lalsanglura won a free-kick outside the TRAU box on the right wing. The ball fell to Chennaiyin left-back Hendry Antonay in the middle of the penalty area, his stinging first-time volley clattering off the cross-bar.
Syed Suhail Pasha came on in place of Prosenjit and caused some discomfort in the TRAU ranks but the team from Imphal held on to run out 2-1 winners.
Chennaiyin FC 'B' play their next game against Jamshedpur FC Reserves on Sunday April 15th, 2018 at 4 PM at the SSN College Ground, Chennai.

Hey Fletch … I have a question related to a special donation. A family in our church had a very unexpected death in their family. Another family in the church would like to pay for the funeral cost. They would like to do that by giving to the church, for two reasons. First, the gift could be anonymous. Second, the gift could be tax deductible. Is this type of gift acceptable with the IRS?
DRF—The way that you have described it, it is pass through giving. That can be done but not as a tax deductible gift. This allows for anonymity but not a tax deduction.
Check out the "Hey Fletch" column, "Attorney's Perspective on Designated Funds" from Thursday, November 1, 2018. Another column to read is "Special Offering for a Woman with Cancer" from Thursday, September 20, 2018.
The family can give funds to your benevolence or compassion ministry. You can use some or all of the funds for the funeral. The bottom line is that the church must be in total control of the funds and that the person cannot designate that use of the funds for an individual.
Trying to stay on the right side of the law is complicated!
