Now I'm at the hotel bar. It's a good one. A whole bunch of guys just came in, and they have a $100 bet that one of them can't eat 30 suicide wings in 30 minutes. You know I'm sticking around for that. Usually there's a cover charge for a show like this. The victim is drinking a big glass of milk right now. There was a brief scare that the kitchen didn't have enough wings, but we're go now. I have an excellent view.
3 wings in, he's sweating. He's doing a diligent job wiping the sauce off his lips. He's trying to pick up speed without success. He's got another milk. He's using his fingers to tear the meat off the bones to save his lips, but before long his fingers are going to start burning. He doesn't know that. He's Canadian. My Greek Salad is so cool and refreshing. He's starting to lose focus, but he's still going. Deep breath, another bite.
He's nodding now – He's in a groove. The pain has stopped getting worse.
He's starting to wipe the sauce off his fingers. My camera's back in the room. Dammit.
Posture change. He's back in his chair now, not forward over the table. His friends, who stand to lose a hundred bucks if he succeeds, are completely behind him now. Shoulder massages, a new five-minute "bump" period after the 30 minutes have expired. They're checking his pace against the clock, giving him advice. Mostly, "eat faster." He's falling behind. The call has gone out for more napkins. Not from the eater; he hasn't said a word for fifteen minutes.
He quit. There are 14 left. 16 is pretty damn good. The waitress says 16 is a house record, but I doubt she really knows. The dude is hurting, but he's recovering already.
He's thinking about going for it! 5 minutes, 14 suicide wings. He's doing it! "Better get a bucket," I advised the crowd. "Don't bother chewing," a friend advises. What a way to choke to death. Two minutes, one wing. He's a black guy, but he's looking green. He's chewing. Chewing. He's not looking good.
"Where's the bathroom?" he asked, and got up quickly. His buddy followed with the camera. Buddy returns. "He had the door closed," Buddy says, "but I got the audio."
Now the remaining wings are being passed around. "I'm not eating one because I'm not a dumbshit," the guy at the end of the table said. Someone just found "Fire Down Below" by Bob Seger on the jukebox.
Thus we learn the price of hubris. He has returned from his de-winging and is having another milk. It seems last night he had first said he could eat fifteen, but had escalated to 30 to get a bigger bet. Instinctively he knew his limit, but he had to push it. He's smiling now, but he went through an hour of hell to be $100 poorer.

The very core of DEINOVE lies in uncovering the potential of its growing collection of rare bacteria. DEINOVE's Extraction DSP platform is in charge of preparing bacterial extracts all along the R&D stages of a project.
This includes the Deinoscreen program, which aims to systematically screen the library of strains for new compounds with potential applications in cosmetics, but also the preparation of extracts for the screening of antibiotic activities. Facing the increasing number of strains to be assessed, Deinove integrated a custom-designed robot.
When the project is validated and heads towards industrialization, the platform also works on designing the downstream processing of the final compound in agreement with the guidelines established for the target industry and in preparation for industrial production. The team is involved from laboratory to industrial scale.
Bacterial extracts to screen for new activities
Because there is no universal way to extract all the molecules produced by a given organism, screening DEINOVE's collection of rare bacteria for new properties requires the preparation of several different extracts that will together disclose most of the activities of the organism.
DEINOVE's Extraction/DSP platform produces different extracts from every bacterial strain using various extraction methods (for example with different solvents) to maximize the chances of uncovering a new activity.
Preparing for industrial production of a compound
All extraction protocols are developed in agreement with the guidelines established by the industry in which the products are commercialized. In addition to small-scale extraction optimization, the platform is equipped with a 10-liter chemical reactor that can handle and optimize the extraction of large pre-industrial fermentation volumes from a 20-liter fermentor. This step is crucial for scaling the process up to industrial production and offers the possibility to provide pre-series of their compound of interest.
Key features
Engaged in the project from protocol design to scale up
Ability to handle large, pre-industrial fermentation volumes
Adapts to the industrial requirements and market demands
Ability to provide pre-series / samples to the customers

Nintendo's stock-price rollercoaster hit another hill today.
The company's shares jumped 28.79 percent in over-the-counter trading following the announcement that Super Mario Run is coming to the iOS App Store in December. Shares of the company are now trading at $36.32. Investors are excited by this move because it signifies that Nintendo is fully embracing the $36.6 billion mobile-gaming market with its top-tier properties.
Nintendo revealed in 2015 that it was going to start making mobile games. The company made a deal with Japanese publisher DeNA to build out an infrastructure to run live games as services, and that culminated with the launch of the Miitomo social platform earlier this year.
The publisher later claimed it would follow up Miitomo with mobile adaptations of its Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing franchises. Those are popular properties among gamers, but they are less well known than Mario or Zelda. By moving Mario up, Nintendo is clearly making a statement that it is focused on generating significant revenue from iOS and Android app markets.

Wondering your thought, if you have time, on making spriter.js allow for playing an animation in reverse? I've examined the core code that plays the animations and see that it is pretty much wired to play in 'normal' order. I can see how playing an animation in reverse could be accomplished, but suspect there are many places in the code that I'd have to hunt down that presume the normal sequence. Why in reverse? I have a need for a character to step backwards. I know I could just make another animation in Spriter and be done with it. May have to do that. But it occurred to me how useful (at least in this kind of situation) it would be to simply send a 'reverse' flag to the playAnimation and updateAnimations functions. Just kicking the tires. UPDATE: I'm, for now, just going to create a reverse animation in Spriter and add to the scml/scon... will look more natural that way, anyway. But I do see how to augment the code to allow a forward/reverse playing of an animation sequence. Don't have time for it now, but another day.
Following up: I've had success creating multiple _spriterGroup[actor] characters, as hoped. The individual Spriter characters are appearing, updating and subject to controls. All's well.
Hi @TomAtom, an update on how my use of the Spriter-Phaser code is going, and a question... I've got a single character animating in a game very well. I'm using the technique we've discussed of using an invisible master-sprite parent to the _spriterGroup child object. All is working well, including collisions, etc. Question: Do you see any problems with my intention to create multiple _spriterGroup game characters, perhaps an array/list of characters that get created and updated in order? Knowing the code as you do, I was interested in your thoughts on how to implement multiple simultaneous Spriter game characters in a game. Many thanks.
Phaser 2.4.7 is releasedWould love to see some sample code using the camera fx. I've looked at the docs, but I still have trouble translating what I see there into working code.
Oh, I had misread your original post thinking the sprite was the child, and the SpriterGroup the parent. But (much better) the sprite is the parent and the SpriterGroup the child! Sorry I made you have to repeat yourself. Thanks, I'll run with this and see where I can take it.
Yes, good solution. Attach an invisible controller child sprite to the spriter group object the SpriterGroup object as a child to an invisible controller sprite (parent) to handle collisions. Clean and straightforward. Certainly allows easy control of collisions. Now, as to physics body fx such as gravity. Though I'm easily able to get simple sprites to behave well in gravity, getting a Spriter object (so far) just winds up with the object fixed in the sky, animating, but not falling to the ground (see dinosaur in attached image, whereas the star sprite fell to the bridge). The challenge: how to get the full spriter object (with all its children sprites) to act together with gravity. I've tried these and a few other group/object methods in various combinations, with no good results... this._spriterGroup = this.add.physicsGroup(Phaser.Physics.ARCADE); // unclear how/when to use this this._spriterGroup.enableBody = true; // I thought this would surely work, but didn't this._spriterGroup.physicsBodyType = Phaser.Physics.ARCADE; // wild stab tried w/ and w/o I could be missing some additional statements or syntax that would make the spriter object fall from the sky. I suppose the other approach would be to try to apply physics bodies fx to each sprite child inside the spriter object as it's created. Puzzling on this now... Thanks again for your thoughts. Big heavy dinosaurs MUST FALL!
@TomAtom, could you indulge one more fundamental question? Referring to your Spriter-Phaser code, I'm having trouble understanding how to apply physics and collisions to a Spriter object/character. I know that in certain ways it needs an explicit 'group' association to apply physics/collisions, the 'normal' sprite method only works for non-group sprite objects. I'm poring over the code and the Phaser group docs, but could use an assist if you can. Thx. - G
Tom Atom reacted to a post in a topic: Spriter skeletal animations in Phaser
Letting you know... SUCCESS. @TomAtom, thanks for taking the time to clarify and adjust the code. At the end of the day, my issue was the .png file extensions in the atlas json. But, it is great that you've separated out the spriter.js player from the example code. And the tutorial is rich w/ information. I owe you a drink! Let me know if you have a PayPal acct and I'll buy you that drink. Thanks too @ritherz for your useful info.
Glad I checked back here... I had made the mopey sad decision to generate regular spritesheets from Spriter->TexturePacker... the old fashioned way (lol!). But you've revived my hopes again. And, sure enough, there are .png file extensions in my troublesome JSON atlas file. I'll review what you've (both) said and posted and give it another whirl. Many thanks. Will let you know.
@ritherz, dude, please do share your findings using this code for Spriter and Phaser. I've been messing with it endlessly for the past week and have the recurring issue of only one sprite displaying in the places of all the sprites in an animation -- e.g. all left feet sprites in the places where the body, head, arms and other legs should be, but they're animating properly. The browser console displays "Cannot set frameName: <the sprite's name>" -- the sprite's name displays correctly, just not the actual sprite rendering itself. Using sprite0 I think. Have been all over Phaser internals trying to understand the issue. No luck after a week. The info out there is so sparse for this, and tends to be "here's the code, do this and you're done" which is probably true for some. I'm attempting to use a pre-rigged animation made for/with Spriter and running into the problem mentioned above. I've been all over the JSON and XML (or SCON and SCML) data files, comparing them with other working versions and find no practical differences. Tutorial, YES!
@TomAtom thanks for the tips on using the Spriter<->Phaser tool. Digging into it now.
Is there a way to utilize your Spriter Player for Phaser *without* Typescript? I suspect not, but should ask. Thanks.
Holy cow. I see few games I want to play, but I'm way up for it Wild Terra. An incredible accomplishment. And a ton of work. Great job!

Overlap2D runtime for phaserYour mention of support for bone/skeletal animation (e.g. Spriter) caught my attention. Wondering what that actually means, at the technical level. Keep up the good work.
Animation alternativesI'm on a similar quest. My criteria is skeletal (bone) animation for characters. Unity and Cocos 2D-x-JS support it officially, mostly using Spine as the skel anim tool. But I know Phaser and am going to give a good look at Tom Atom's Spriter->Phaser bridge code (https://github.com/SBCGames/Spriter-Player-for-Phaser) to see if it might work for a commercial production. I know there's been some low level buzz about Phaser eventually supporting skeletal animation, but all I've been able to find is pretty vague. Would be nice Rich might give us his thoughts on it. The main problem with Creature is that it is entirely WebGL without any fallback method. Otherwise it sure is awesome.

UH Law Center and Anti-Defamation League present "Extremism in a Civil Society"
Oct 19, 2011, 06:14 ET
Civil rights experts examine whether freedom of speech ever goes too far.
HOUSTON, Oct. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- When does free speech cross the constitutional line? Is it when a university student group holds a bake sale and prices cookies at different costs to make a statement about affirmative action? Or when students hold a silent protest and turn a campus courtyard into a graveyard? Or when shouting students force a guest speaker off the stage? These cases make bold headlines, but the line is fuzzy. Court rulings have run the gamut.
The University of Houston Law Center and the Houston regional Anti-Defamation League will focus on freedom of expression and if there should be any limits when they host "Extremism in a Civil Society" Friday, Nov. 18, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Law Center's Krost Hall. In addition to a general overview of First Amendment and free speech rights, the program will specifically examine those rights as they pertain to public and private universities.
Speakers will be Erwin Chemerinsky, founding dean of the University of California, Irvine School of Law, and Frederick M. Lawrence, president of Brandeis University.
An expert on constitutional law, federal practice, civil rights and civil liberties, and appellate litigation, Chemerinsky has authored nearly 200 law review articles in journals such as the Harvard Law Review, Stanford Law Review and Yale Law Journal. He also frequently argues appellate cases, including before the United States Supreme Court and the United States Courts of Appeals. Chemerinsky received a bachelor's degree from Northwestern University and a law degree from Harvard Law School.
One of the nation's leading experts on civil rights, free expression and bias crimes, Lawrence has lectured nationally and internationally about bias crime law and testified before Congress on several occasions. He also serves on the board of directors of the Anti-Defamation League. Lawrence received a bachelor's degree from Williams College and a law degree from Yale Law School.
Moderators will be Raymond T. Nimmer, dean of the University of Houston Law Center, and Marvin D. Nathan, former chairman of the ADL's National Civil Rights Committee and a 1966 Law Center graduate.
Underwritten by the law firms of Nathan Sommers Jacobs and Berg & Androphy, the event is free and open to the public. Attorneys licensed in Texas will receive two hours of participatory MCLE credit, including one hour of ethics for attending the program.
RSVP to [email protected] by Monday, Nov. 14, 2011. Parking is available in lot 19B and 19C in front of the Law Center.

Joe Cole sent in a lofted free kick from about 35 yards out that Chavez tapped between the legs of Indy goalkeeper Jon Busch at the back post.Indy equalized six minutes later on a goal by Omar Gordon. A passing sequence was nearly broken up by Rowdies captain Tamika Mkandawire, but his touch wasn't enough to steer the ball clear of Gordon, who finished it cleanly past Matt Pickens."It was a good away performance," coach Stuart Campbell said. "We spoke before the match about the importance of getting a result tonight. We would've loved to have won, but that was a well-earned point."

When installing a certificate using Microsoft IIS 7 Manager, you may receive the following error message even though the certificate is installed:
NOTE: The certificate may still install successfully, in spite of the error message.
This issue occurs because IIS Manager performs a lookup operation to look for a friendly name of the certificate during the installation. However, the code that performs this lookup operation misses this specific case, and it does not know how to retrieve the friendly name of a certificate in a PKCS#7 file. Therefore, the lookup operation fails, and the error message is displayed.
This is a known issue with IIS 7. Please see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 959216.
To resolve this problem, check if the certificate is installed by performing the following steps:
Step 1: Create a 'Certificates' snap-in within the MMC
From IIS Web Server:
Step 2: Locate the SSL certificate
On the General tab, under the validity dates, there should be a key with the following message:
"You have a private key that corresponds to this certificate"
NOTE: If this is present, close the certificate and the MMC and proceed to Step 3. If there is no reference to the private key, please follow these instructions to restore the private key
If unable to restore the private key, the certificate will need to be replaced.
If the certificate needs to be replaced, please create a new CSR on the server by following these instructions. Once the new CSR has been created, replace the certificate using these instructions.
Step 3: Bind the SSL certificate to the web site in IIS

We all know that individual numbers can mislead. Low-carb doesn't mean food is healthy, good gas mileage doesn't mean a car is high-quality, and we've all said "sure but it's a dry heat" at some point or another.
Somehow this simple wisdom is regularly ignored in Raleigh, with a lot of leaders cherry-picking individual data points to justify claims that our economy is doing great (it isn't). New data released over the last week show that leaning too heavily on individual statistics is sloppy thinking, bad economics, and can lead to blatantly misleading proclamations.
First, August showed once again that the headline unemployment rate doesn't tell the whole story. The unemployment rate has declined slightly over the last few months, but the number of jobs in the state has actually been basically flat, or even down. This might seem contradictory, but is really just a quirk of how the unemployment rate is calculated. As any economist will acknowledge, the headline unemployment rate does not really count all of the people who can't find a job.
As shown here, when you include the thousands of North Carolinians who have dropped out of the labor force (missing workers), unemployment in North Carolina is probably more than double the official rate. This is no surprise to most people who follow economic data closely, and certainly isn't news to the hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians who can't find decent work, but it stands in stark contrast to the happy tune some folks in Raleigh have been whistling lately.
We see more of the same when it comes to income. Early last week, a number of leaders in Raleigh claimed that median income grew faster in North Carolina than any other state over the last few years. Sounds great, but its also not true. Those assertions were based on using the wrong survey, and when the more reliable data came out it showed that North Carolina has posted one of the worst rates of income growth in the nation since 2013.
Mistakes happen, and sometimes even the best data does not reveal the full truth, but relying on an individual statistic can often cross from error into recklessness. Until leaders honestly face the fact that our economy is far from healthy, we won't get down to the real work of fixing it.
The next time someone tells you our economy is red hot, ask if that's a dry heat.

Welcome to the discussion forum
Hello! I have been so incredibly emotional since the election, especially the last few days, with all the new developments and Executive Orders. I have wept and prayed to find a way, that a 58 year old woman like me, living in the red state of Montana, can make a difference. I believe my prayers may have been answered with this site. A coworker of mine that had you as one of her College Professors turned me on to your website. This is my first time visiting your site, and after reading your blogs, I was amazed at how you have articulated exactly how I have been feeling. In the coming days, I hope to formulate my own plan for how I can become a compassionate activist. Thank you for starting this site!
I want to express my thanks for starting up this site. I am a Brit living in The Netherlands. The whole story of what is happening in the US haunts me. As a Brit of course, I was already carrying a real grief for the decision to leave the EU and become fortresses Britain. Amsterdam is a lovely city and the Dutch are sane and pragmatic people but even here we have Wilders and his right-wing party, which is polling well at the moment. Friends from the US pour out their frustration—and fear—on FB and friends from the UK join in from the other side of the Atlantic. These are certainly tough times but I am full of hope that the very harshness of the circumstances we find ourselves in will serve to wake us up to a more profound response. When questioned about his daughters' response to Trump's win, Obama spoke of their resilience and hope. Resilience, hope and compassionate action can bring us through.
Hi, thanks so much for setting up this site. I have been so saddened by some of the political events over the last year and have often found them challenging to my practice of compassion. I feel encouraged by this space where we can all come together to think about these issues.
I congratulate you on the site. I have met you several times at training's and C.M conference in the U.K and always enjoyed you open and honest dialogue -Thank you. I have just been reading your words on the site and felt my spirit lifted by your communications and outputs.I live in the North West of England and have felt disturbed by the actions and suddenness of the sweeping changes happening in America. I feel a sense a fear growing within myself as I observe events unfolding and human rights being swept aside daily. The need for compassion, reason and the tools for change we have developed, are now more vital than ever before. We live in times when I sense the threats have not yet fully shown themselves , I feel more is hidden and waiting to be revealed , Trump is just getting started .
I congratulate you on the site. I feel inspired and motivated by your articles. I think I will try meditation soon.
Thank you.. 🙂

Look of the Day. 350: R is for Red+Reformation
Back in 2012 we went to New York to film a web series for Carolina Herrera, remember? And it happened to be around the time it was my birthday. On the same night i went out to celebrate it big time I met this girl who talked me about this amazing label… The following morning i found myself at the store as it happened to be one block away from my hotel, and spending the whole evening getting as much stuff as i could carry back home. It was love at first sight and still is nowadays.. When no one that I knew wore Reformation to when most of my friends exchange their limited edition tops with me… awww you can't wait to get another piece… So we they asked me to be part of the Reformation girls it was a big moment right? I always get a buzz when i get to work with brands that i'm a genuine fan! yayyy!! Wearing a hot dress by Reformation, Guardiani shoes and Jacko, my new Ines Figaredo bag.

Why are There Four Human Blood Types?
Humans haven't always had different blood types, but rather evolved to have them over time in response to disease. The reason individual humans have different blood types is that they inherit the trait of their blood having certain antigens on the outside of the blood cells from their parents. Antigens are molecules that trigger an immune response. There are actually vastly more than four blood types — the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) recognizes 29 different blood group systems, encompassing over 600 distinct antigens. However, the most well known and medically useful blood group system, called ABO, distinguishes four types of blood.
Not all human blood types have always existed. In fact, they developed over time because of genetic changes and mutations. It's thought that type A is the oldest type of blood, which then mutated into type B about 3.5 million years ago. About a million years later, type O developed. Some people also have type AB blood, which has both A and B antigens. The reason the blood changed is thought to be in response to disease — for instance, type O blood appears to be more resistant to malaria, and many people in malaria-prone areas have type O blood.
The ABO blood types are important because blood of a different type than one's own can cause a fatal immune response if introduced into the body. Along with antigens on the red blood cells, the body carries antibodies in the immune system that recognize and fight off the antigens in foreign blood. The ABO system deals with the presence or absence of two specific antigens, called A and B.
Red blood cells can have A or B antigens, or both A and B antigens, or neither. Blood with A antigens alone is classified as type A, while blood with only B antigens is type B. Blood with both A and B antigens is classified as type AB, and blood with neither antigen is type O.
The immune system has antibodies that protect against antigens that are not present in the body's own blood. Those who have type A blood possess anti-B antibodies; type B blood possesses anti-A antibodies; AB blood has neither of these antibodies, and people with type O blood have both. Patients cannot receive blood transfusions from donors whose blood contains an antigen that their own blood does not, because their antibodies will launch a defense against it. Ideally, both the donor and recipient in a blood transfusion should have the same blood type. If this is not possible, however, other combinations are safe.
Type O blood is known as the "universal donor." Since it carries neither A nor B antigens, it can exist in the presence of both anti-A and anti-B antibodies and is therefore compatible with any recipient blood type. Conversely, type O people can only receive blood from another type O person.
Type AB blood is likewise called the "universal recipient." People with type AB blood have neither anti-A nor anti-B antibodies, so they can accept any ABO blood type from a donor. However, those with AB blood can only donate blood to recipients with the same blood type. Blood types A and B are mutually incompatible for blood transfusions, but both can donate to a type AB recipient or receive blood from a type O donor.
The ABO blood group system is often supplemented with the Rhesus blood group system. Though the latter system deals with five specific antigens, it defines only two significant blood types, according to the presence or absence of the D antigen: RhD negative and RhD positive. Those with blood types in the ABO system are sometimes said to be positive or negative, as in "type O negative," as RhD negative recipients are not compatible with RhD positive donors.

Discussion Comments
@ Submariner- To find out your blood type, you simply need to have your blood drawn. You can get your blood drawn at any doctor's office or hospital. There are some situations where a doctor will automatically determine your blood type. A doctor will administer a blood type test before you can give or receive blood, donate or receive organs, before surgery, and in the early stages of pregnancy. Blood tests are also used in legal situations to determine relationships, and to convict or acquit a criminal suspect.
As for getting married, states do not actually test for blood type. Rather, they test for genetic and venereal diseases.
How do you go about determining your blood type? What situations would you need to know your blood type besides blood transfusions? Finally, why do you have to have a blood type test before getting married in some states?
can a father with O+ and a sister with RH- and a mother of an unknown blood type have a sister with AB+ blood have the same father?

Oakcrest et al.'s Upperline pressed the early pace, gained the advantage in the lane and drew clear late for a one-length win in Saturday's fourth running of the $60,000 Allen LaCombe Memorial Handicap for older fillies and mares over Fair Grounds' Stall-Wilson turf course.
Trained by Mike Stidham, who is also one of the owners, Upperline was winning her first race over grass but the fourth race of her career in 10 lifetime starts. The daughter of Maria's Mon increased her career earnings to $210,987 with her Saturday score.
"We intended that her last race would be on grass but it came off it," said Stidham in the winner's circle. "But it still got her ready for her race today."
Upperline paid $7.40, $3.80 and $2.80 and toured the about 1 1/16-mile distance over the course rated "good" in 1.46.68.
"She's a very kind filly and puts you where you need to be," said winning rider Rosie Napravnik, who is also the meet's leading rider.
James Perron Racing Stable's Category Seven, who was assigned the top impost of 122 pounds in the LaCombe 'Cap, rallied to be second best, returning $4.20 and $2.60 while finishing a half-length to the good of Sam-Son Farm's favored Forest Uproar, who lacked the needed late response and paid $2.20 to show.
Naveed Chowhan's Ice Mist made the pace with early fractions of 24.96 and 50.51 before weakening to fourth.
Heartlines Horse Ranch's Man of Strife, void of early foot, rallied outside the field in the middle of the track in the late stages of Saturday's $60,000 Gentilly Stakes restricted to accredited Louisiana-bred 3-year-olds and proved best by a neck in the last strides of the about 1 1/16-mile grass test to give winning rider Rosie Napravnik her second stakes win of the day.
"I was kind of forced to wait a little bit," said Napravnik of the Brian House trainee, "but he closed well late. He's a very game little horse."
Man of Strife paid $10, $5.40 and $3.20, toured the distance over the "good" grass in 1:47.77 and increased his career earnings to $84,830 with his third win in five lifetime starts while racing over the lawn for the first time in his career.
Klaravich Stables' Populist Politics, also without speed, rallied late to gain the place, paying $6.60 and $5.60 while finishing three-quarters of a length in front of Peter Redekop's favored Loranger Native, who had no late rally and paid $2.40 to show.
Nick, Richey, Brooks and Wisdom's Ollie Baby made the pace with early fractions of 24.11 and 49.04 but gave way late.
Tri-Star Racing's Lovenotlost overcame a troubled beginning to rally outside the leaders in the final furlong and got up to be best by a nose in Saturday's $60,000 Sarah Lane's Oates Stakes. The winner, trained by Wes Hawley and ridden by Shaun Bridgmohan, accomplished the about one mile distance over the Stall-Wilson turf course rated "good" in 1:43.08, increased her career earnings to $83,450 with her third win in seven lifetime starts and paid $10.40, $4.20 and $3.40.
"We got in a lot of trouble on the first turn," said Bridgmohan, "but she's such a nice filly she gathered herself back up and got back in the race."
Dan Lynch, Ken Sentel and Merrill Scherer's Tensas Punch just missed when finishing second in the race restricted to accredited Louisiana-bred 3-year-old fillies, paying $3.40 and $2.80, while JRita Young Thoroughbreds' front running Take Me Home Too paid $4.80 to show while finishing three-quarters of a length farther back after recording early splits of 26.22 and 52.18.

TO THE DENIERS OF CO2 EMISSIONS , which is somewhat different from Global Warming...!
TO THE dying OCEAN REEFS AND ALREADY water dead zones...! THAT IS UNDENIABLE...!
CO2: Global Carbon Dioxide Levels
Linked to Human Activity
What do we know for sure? We know for a fact that CO2 levels are rising and that human activity is the cause.
How do we know this? A simple calculation. Let's start with the year 1750, generally accepted as the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when the standard measure for CO2 levels was 278ppmv. We'll begin then, add the known level of human-generated CO2 for that year, then subtract 2.84% of the excess CO2 – because that's how fast nature tries to restore the balance. If we do this for 255 years, up to 2005, we get the pink line in the graph below. It fits the black line – the actual CO2 level – like a glove.
Ocean acidification is the name given to the ongoing decrease in the pH and increase in acidity of the Earth's oceans, caused by the uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.[1] About a quarter of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere goes into the oceans, where it forms carbonic acid.
As the amount of carbon has risen in the atmosphere there has been a corresponding rise of carbon going into the ocean. Between 1751 and 1994 surface ocean pH is estimated to have decreased from approximately 8.25 to 8.14,[2] representing an increase of almost 30% in "acidity" (H+ ion concentration) in the world's oceans.[3][4][5]
This ongoing acidification of the oceans poses a threat to the food chains connected with the oceans.[6]
...FOLKS: anything you burn, even with green source fuels, for jets, after the death of World crude oil, will finally bury the World...!
...What Scientists do not know, is if there is a point of no return...! Or rather when will this point of no return occur...!
...Meanwhile, the false logic economies of the World, dominate, and they are not the most intelligent either...!

Tips for Choosing the Right Asbestos Removal Company in Vancouver
Though we now know that asbestos is a dangerous material that poses a serious health hazard, it was used widely in the construction of homes and buildings into the 90s. Its use is now banned, but asbestos is still present in many older structures. If your home or business was built prior to 1992, then you may require asbestos abatement in Vancouver. At Ace Environmental Services Ltd., we want to make sure you choose the right company for this important job. Here are some tips to help you decide.
1. Consider their years of experience
It is best to work with a company that has several years of experience providing asbestos removal in Vancouver, or a company that has a very experienced team. This helps ensure that they will know where to look for asbestos. Local experience is very important as well, as it means that the company will have a better idea of the asbestos-containing materials that were typically used in the area's homes and buildings.
2. Make sure they are certified
You should only trust a fully certified company to perform asbestos abatement on your Vancouver property. Certifications ensure that the technicians who will be working on your property have been trained in all of the proper techniques. A prospective company should be able to provide you with proof of their technicians' certifications if asked. Be wary of companies that do not want to offer this information.
3. Ask if they provide asbestos testing
Before asbestos removal begins, asbestos testing should be carried out to determine if asbestos is present and where it is located. You don't want to work with a company that removes common asbestos-containing materials without checking them for the presence of asbestos, as this can cause unnecessary disruption and might leave asbestos in other places. You also do not want to have the hassle of having to hire two separate companies for asbestos testing and removal. A company that offers both is ideal.
4. Ask about their asbestos removal process
Asbestos removal in Vancouver needs to be carried out according to approved techniques in order to ensure that the asbestos fibres do not contaminate the air. Any areas that contain asbestos should be completely sealed off from the rest of the property and signage should be put up. The company must have the proper safety equipment and tools to remove and then dispose of the asbestos materials. They should also use HEPA filters to remove any asbestos fibres from the air.
Trusted, Professional Asbestos Removal in VancouverIf you suspect that there could be asbestos in your home or business, then you shouldn't take any chances. You can trust Ace Environmental Services Ltd. to perform thorough asbestos testing and complete asbestos abatement in Vancouver and throughout the Lower Mainland. We are fully certified for both residential and commercial asbestos removal, and we have been providing asbestos removal services for over 10 years.

Connecticut Sun's winning chemistry getting noticed
Recommended Video:
UNCASVILLE >> About an hour before what proved to be a rather entertaining showdown between the two youngest teams in the WNBA, Taj McWilliams-Franklin sat on the visiting bench in a nearly empty Mohegan Sun Arena and took a trip down memory lane.
McWilliams-Franklin was one of the cornerstones of the early Connecticut Sun teams, the ones that set the franchise mark with 26 victories during the 2005 and 2006 seasons.
The Sun played in the WNBA Championship Series twice in her four seasons with the team, and eight of the 14 regular-season sellouts in team history took place during her time in Connecticut.
She knows how much the fans appreciate unselfish basketball, how they love to witness a winning style of basketball. McWilliams-Franklin can only imagine how much the Connecticut fans are reveling in the Sun's return to prominence.
"I was part of this organization from Orlando to here," said McWilliams-Franklin, in her first season as an assistant coach with the Dallas Wings. "You can't stop remembering and thinking about what you want from a team that is giving you so much as well. I am really happy, even when I coached in New York, or I am here and playing against them, still inside you think about, 'this is going to be awesome.' For me to see them back up, it makes me happy."
McWilliams-Franklin played on Sun teams featuring multiple scoring options. McWilliams-Franklin is the third all-time leading scorer in franchise history, including her four seasons when the team played in Orlando. The other players ranking in the top five were teammates of McWilliams-Franklin. Nykesha Sales, Asjha Jones, Katie Douglas and Lindsay Whalen helped the franchise win 83 games from 2004-06, including playoff victories.
Now a young Sun team has clinched its first playoff berth since 2012 and is guaranteed the first winning season since Mike Thibault's successful run at the helm ended with a 25-9 record in 2012.
McWilliams-Franklin is among those who are impressed with the way a team starting two second-year players and playing all season without the injured Chiney Ogwumike is currently third in the playoff standings.
"They are totally different from all the other Connecticut Sun teams, and that is a plus," McWilliams-Franklin said. "A lot of times people like to compare, the Golden State Warriors would they defeat the Bulls? I think the Sun, they have their own identity. They went through some tough times, obviously, but they came out with something that works better than it did before because you can handle adversity and overcome it.
"I like the fact that they have players who really like each other and they have players who are happy when they do well. Sometimes in the pros, you have teams when people aren't happy when another player does well, and it shows, or you are trying to take shots from somebody else. I like the fact that this team is willing to give up one good shot for a great shot, not just an assist, but a hockey assist. We need to add that as a (stat). They are very young, but very mature as well."
Kayla Pedersen was a part of Sun teams which finished 10-24 during the 2013 season and posted a 13-21 record the following year. When she returned after not playing in the WNBA a season ago, she was instantly struck by the difference in the locker room.
"Totally different," Pedersen said. "This is probably my favorite WNBA year that I've had. We have a team that goes out there, works hard and all they think about is winning. It is nice to have an unselfish (group), play together for our coaches."
Second-year coach Curt Miller, who added general manager duties this year, made moves to rid the Sun locker room of the negative vibes that existed since Thibault's ouster after the 2012 season.
"They buy into it, we have the culture right," Miller said. "They really believe in each other, on and off the court. They care for each other on and off the court. There is something special in team sports, especially women's basketball. When you get your locker room right, a lot of good things can happen.
"They have a swagger, I love coaching players with a swagger. It is really fun to coach this group right now."
When the Sun host New York on Friday night, the franchise will be looking for its fifth winning streak of at least seven games since moving to Connecticut in 2003. A victory would be the ninth straight at home, one shy of the franchise record set in 2015.
Connecticut leads the WNBA in scoring offense, averaging 87.5 points per game, and in assist/turnover ratio. They are on pace to set franchise records for points, field goals, field-goal percentage, 3-pointers and could set the mark for assists as well.
"Sometimes you can tell when a team has good chemistry, and you can tell with this Connecticut team," Seattle Storm guard Sue Bird said. "Just the few times I have been on the floor you can see their chemistry."

I will admit, the Snow White ride at Walt Disney World scared me. (not as much as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, but that's another story) But, I was nostalgic and a bit sad when I heard they had torn it down to make way for a new roller coaster ride, based in the mine where the Seven Dwarfs went off to work every day. After all, the movie is called Snow White – and I was worried about a ride that was all about the thrill and not about the wonderful charm and artistry that makes Snow White, the film, special.
Well, I'm not worried anymore. I LOVED this ride (and so did my sister) – and rode it three times.
Here's why you will love it too:
1. You won't be grumpy while you wait because the queue is full of super fun, hands-on experiences while you wait. Like barrels full of gems that whirl, illuminated water that makes music, and other gem filled games.
2. Fast Pass! Now you can book up to 3 rides ahead of time on mydisneyexperience.com and the my Disney experience app – so don't get sleepy and forget to book your fast passes ahead of time for this ride and you'll zip right on through.
3. Don't be bashful – there are wonderful, whimsical details everywhere you look on this ride. Take your time so you will notice all of the little magical things inside and out, like these carved woodland creatures…
and the vultures high above…
4. There is nothing dopey about it – big kids will love this ride, it's got just enough oomph to be a fun coaster, and with the new technology that allows the mine cars to have some side to side swing to them it really feels like you're whisking through the mine…
5. But, it's not so intense that you will have to summon Doc to help you out. It's comparable to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, without the big drops.
6. The animatronics are nothing to sneeze at. The Imagineers truly bring the dwarfs to life inside the mine ride (and spoiler alerts from here on out!) they even recreate one of the most iconic images from the film – the dwarfs' shadows on the mine walls as they sing Heigh Ho! It was the part of the ride that gave me goosebumps. Like living inside the movie.
7. This ride will make you Happy!! The ending to this ride is truly perfect, joyful, and captures the essence of the movie. Snow White is there in the cottage, dancing to The Silly Song with the dwarfs – and the evil Queen in the form of the old crone – is waiting right outside the door, a basket of apples hanging from her arm.
Disclosure: I was invited to Walt Disney World for this press event and received airfare, lodging, park tickets and some meals. The opinions expressed in this post are my own, as always.

Whether you're a herbivore or a carnivore (or perhaps just a minimalist that values the provenance of the items you own) we at VIVOBAREFOOT are committed to giving you both material directions in the most sustainable way possible, making the minimal amount of shoe, so your feet can do their natural thing.
Now, more than ever, the World is switching-on to the importance conscious consumerism and the growing imperative in doing everything we can to protect the environment. In a promising shift, consumers beginning to demand information about where their products come from, what they are made out of and what their impact is on our planet.
It's time for brands to provide this information through hyper-transparency, not just glossing over the uncomfortable bits.
(Follow our Transparency journey here > with MODE TRACKER)
When it comes to shoe-making materials, VIVOBAREFOOT offer two key avenues to making a more sustainable purchase, in the form of Vegan designs and our Wild Hide leather.
Gobi Swimrun in Eco Canvas
Our Vegan range continues to grow, offering innovative man-made materials which are mitigated by incorporating the use recycled PET bottles and re-constituted Algae. These alternatives are a fantastic option to traditional leather, though they do come with some technical setbacks. Breathability and durability are issues often faced with synthetic materials. What's more, such shoes tend to lose lustre with age, and are hard to responsibly dispose of when no longer wearable.
The Ultra Bloom Using Algae
On the other side of the coin, we continue to offer leather shoes for those who prefer natural materials.
Why, we hear some of you ask?
Put simply, leather is one of our oldest resources and it remains to this day an outstanding material for making shoes. It's light and breathable, malleable yet durable… it gains emotional durability with age, and as a natural material, it doesn't hang around for thousands of years once you're finished with it (On average, leather takes just 25-50 years to biodegrade… by contrast, the average pair of shoes takes around 1000 years!).
Gobi II in Brown Wild Hide
We acknowledge that the environmental impact of raising so much livestock is vast and worrying, and we hope that in the future, the World's reliance on animal products will be minimal as material innovation around biomimicry starts to come with more efficient and closed loop alternative. For now, we continue to use leather – whilst making sure we do so in the most responsible way possible.
Ra II in Brown Wild Hide
To do this, we follow 3 golden rules. Our leather must be
Our signature Wild Hide cow leather is sourced from small-scale farms in Ethiopia, where in most cases, just a handful of cattle are owned by local families. They roam free, under the watchful eye of independent farmers, meaning that Wild Hide has a unique pattern of marks and scars... a reflection of a good few rubs against a tree and a life well lived.

If the cell I am checking is blank it returns an error #VALUE!
How do I add ISERROR to the following so I dont get an error message
Many Thanks
The answer I supplied in an earlier thread also applies to this issue, but with a slight modification.
Do not take this the wrong way, but when you find something that works for you in a help forum, it would behoove you to review the solution in detail so that you understand how it works. Once you have a deeper understanding of the solution, you can use/modify the concept in other situations.
In the previous case, you wanted to return a value if a cell was not equal to 0, so you used the IF function to check for a 0:
=IF(O3<>0,... etc.
In this case, you want the CHOOSE function to return a value if H10 is not empty, so the first thing you would do is check H10 to make sure it is not empty. The CHOOSE function then becomes the value_if_true argument for the IF function.
In this case the IF will return "" (nothing) if H10 is empty, but you could have it return whatever you want:
=IF(H10<>"",CHOOSE(H10,$I$2,$J$2,$K$2,$L$2,$M$2,""),"Please enter a value in H10")
2 additional notes:
1 - I'm not sure why you have "" as the last value for the CHOOSE function. If that was your attempt to deal with H10 = "", as you can see that won't work. Your CHOOSE function will return "" if H10 = 6 since that is the 6th argument in your list.
2 - You will note that I removed the parenthesis around H10 in the CHOOSE function. The first argument in the CHOOSE function is the index_num and there is no need to enclose it in parenthesis.

I have taken on board what you are saying thank you, the good news is that my boss is sending on an advance excel course so hopefully I will be able to contribute better to your site. I can assure I only ask a question as a last resort as if I can crack it myself I get a better understanding. Each day people ask more and more from the database I am working on so its get more and more complicated and I need to discover different methods of achieving results.

The popularity of motorsport has soared over the past few decades. More and more money is being invested into F1 every year. Along with the popularity and money has come significant improvements in the ability of race cars. Testament to this is the capability of the latest Mercedes F1 car, with a top speed of 330 kmph and an impressive 0-60mph time of 2.2 seconds.
Despite all the technological advancements within the motorsport industry, with cars travelling at such high speeds and drivers willing to take risks in order to please crowds, race tracks are more dangerous than ever. Earlier this year at the Mexican grand prix, Williams driver Valtteri Bottas was recorded driving at 231.5 mph, one of the fastest speeds ever recorded.
With the aerodynamics of cars designed to help reach optimum performance, it could be argued that the preference of stream lining and achieving the best levels of downforce comes at the expense of the safety of the driver.
Undoubtedly safety standards have improved since the very first Grand Prix in 1950. Since the fatalities of Ratzenberger and Senna in 1994, there had been no driver deaths during world championship events for over two decades until the recent death of Jules Bianchi in July 2015 following his injuries sustained during the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix.
As well as the use of carbon fibre replacing aluminium in order to increase protection for drivers in the event of a crash, F1 officials have also introduced numerous safety standards. Grooved tyres have replaced racing slick tyres to effectively reduce speeds especially when cornering. Many circuits throughout the world have also redesign their track layouts to significantly improve driver safety and minimise the top speeds that can be reach along any one stretch of track.
The inclusion of Armco crash barriers along long stretches of track and corners have led to a significant reduction in the loss of life to both drivers and spectators. The barriers mean that collisions are more likely to be restricted to the track rather than causing extensive damage off the race course and hitting fans and spectators. Originally introduced with the backing of the world famous Jackie Stewart following an accident that left him with a broken collar bone and ribs being lucky to escape with his life. Crash barriers were initially met with pessimism from many drivers, mainly due to the fact the aluminium cars of the time were not strong enough to disperse the extensive crash energies involved in colliding with a steel barrier. However after many circuits began to erect the crash barriers subsequently resulting in fewer injuries and deaths, it wasn't long before the entire motorsport industry was in support of the new safety measure.
To this day crash barriers are responsible for saving countless lives in F1 and other motorsports. The transition from aluminium to carbon fibre cars also mean that cars were much better equipped to handle collisions with a crash barriers and effectively protect drivers at the same time.

(OP-ED) — The author of this post challenges you to seriously think about this process, because it is virtually available to everyone in the United States who has ever had their mortgage loan securitized … even if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the "aunt" and "uncle" the U.S. Government doesn't like to talk about) are involved …
Scenario … "The Punch Line"
In part 1 of this blog post, we talked about how homeowners were duped by table-funded mortgage brokers and DBA's (fictitious entities) who claimed they were New York corporations when in fact, they were "storefronts" for the major lenders who made the "storefronts" the actual borrowers in your loan transactions, potentially rehypothecating those loans over and over again using your personal identifying information to sell pieces of your loans into bundles of pools of loans on Wall Street.
Party A runs "the smoke screen".
Party B fronts the "investor funds" using non-compliant prospectuses that were signed under Sarbanes-Oxley that don't matter to them anyway.
Party C plays completely outside of the MERS® System and really has nothing to do but sit back and collect residual income being a go-between prior to your loan allegedly going into a REMIC that's been empty all along.
Party D plays the Trustee for the REMIC … and just sits back and collects his fees from what the servicer gets and turns a blind eye to your loan default.
Party E (empty promises) is the servicer who is robbing Peter to pay Paul's debts and this is why entities like Ocwen have to go out and securitize $600-million in new paper just to fund Advances to keep paying the certificate holders of these REMICs so we don't have another crash (like 2008).
Party F (meaning the ones who actually get f**ked) are the investors that actually bought into this crap. They have so much money they don't know what to do with it. I sometimes don't feel bad about them getting raped. They deserve it.
So why is it that when we're in court the judge ignores your comeback when you attack an assignment of mortgage or deed of trust for containing false and misrepresentative information? The judge is waiting for the bank's attorney to allege that you're not a third-party beneficiary and that you can't attack the assignment. Aaahhhh …. but that's the bigger lie!
You see … the title documents in the land records represent your chain of title. If your chain of title is jacked up, you couldn't sell your property if you wanted to in order to mitigate the lender's losses, even if the lender could prove they're entitled to the proceeds of the sale of your home. This has been the bigger problem with challenging foreclosures, because the banks (via a vis their servicers) use the chain of title (through the MERS® System) to lie their way through the courts and the judges play along with it because … well … "we can't hurt the banks".
If a chain of title is unmarketable, what reasonable buyer would want to purchase it?
If a chain of title is unmarketable, it violates every state's law that guarantees marketability of title!
If a chain of title is unmarketable, it's because it's vendibility is impaired (you can't sell it). No one wants to buy someone else's problems … especially if the title is slandered (Hello? … Can you say "damages'?)
If the chain of title is unmarketable because it's title is screwed up … title companies won't insure it.
If it's uninsurable, no one is going to sell it. How could they? If title companies do insure these properties, they'll exclude coverage for the applicable errors! You won't get a dime on a title claim, while the title companies make off with your premium payment at closing!
If you're in states where only the lien interest is sold (like in California), the banks get to kick the can down the road, and investors are stuck with nothing but screwed-up chains of title and they can't do anything but rent the properties out because there's no way to quiet the title without exposing the truth … and no one can afford to expose the truth because American Jurisprudence is tainted.
The reason I bring it up?
The Assignment has your name and your property's references within it.
Every state has a set of statutes that allow consumers to challenge the assignments, releases, and any other document in their chain of title that is "suspect" for false and misrepresentative information. If you let the bank's attorney get away with stating that you're not a third-party beneficiary, then you have to ask yourself …
This is why statutes were formulated to combat erroneous (many times deliberate) behavior in the creation of these phony assignments and releases. The problem is … 99% of the attorneys don't like doing declaratory judgment actions … half the time because they don't know how! This is why Al West and I did a deep dive into the assignments and Al West came up with the notion that cancelling and expunging the phony document would force the court to have to quiet the title. If you're attacking the property's title because it violates statute, how then could the lender foreclose?
You can't break one law to enforce another law!
This is why Appendix 11 of The C&E on Steroids! has all of those statutes in it! If the document affects your chain of title, you have an "in" to attack it through declaratory relief. All American homeowners are entitled to have a property that has marketable title and this is why these remedies were created. American property owners need to wake up and realize what they're up against here, because it's not really that expensive a proposition to attack these assignments. There's always quiet title too … which is why we included that in the latest book, which includes an 8-DVD training video kit!
You want your attorney to know the truth? Share this information with him (or her). If attorneys knew the simplicity of doing a declaratory relief action, they'd have a whole new way to make a living without stressing themselves out over it. Did you hear that lawyers? That's why Al West (who is an attorney that uses the C&E a lot in his practice) has graciously supplied a ton of exhibits for you to look at and glean from … it's the best educational tool of the decade.
If there are over 500-million phony assignments and other bogus documents in the land records, why aren't we doing something about it?
Frankly, if you can understand that when the crash hit and everyone found themselves upside down in their mortgage loans, 95% of them cut and ran … that's why. Someone has to carry the ball and pay it forward. This may be your calling.
I assisted a Florida attorney in doing a C&E in a Release of Mortgage, which convoluted the title even further, designed to create a statutory violation while challenging the lender (3 cans down the road) to prove how the first lender paid off the original loan with refi money. That too is in the book (pleadings and all)!
The training kit is here in limited supply. I have 33 kits left in stock. I do not know when we'll reorder. If you want to fight the good fight, then force the courts to make your property marketable again. Until the courts deal with these title issues, you the homeowner are just helping the banks "kick the can down the road" … soon, we'll end up as a nation of renters for sure, because only investors will own all the homes (at least that's what they think). They get stuck with the crappy titles and you get stuck being a renter!
Is that really what you want?
The folks who order this DVD training kit will get the new Robert Janes compilation of SHELLGAME MERS, the 2009 RULES and his latest white paper on defeating California foreclosures! Included absolutely FREE!
PLUS … I'll throw in a copy of THE FDCPA, DEBT COLLECTION AND FORECLOSURES work as well … for use in fighting unscrupulous debt collectors.
That's an extra $80 worth of useful tools to add to your arsenal
This offer will expire June 30, 2019 … so get your C&E training kit NOW!

When Conservatives decided to forgo parliamentary tradition and release their fall economic and fiscal update last month in Edmonton in front of business executives instead of in Ottawa before MPs, the party of "fiscal responsibility" coughed up plenty of cash for the dog and pony show.
The luncheon with Finance Minister Jim Flaherty was "hosted by the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce" and included a question and answer session with James Rajotte, a Conservative MP from Edmonton and chair of the House of Commons Finance Committee.
According to a breakdown of costs released to PressProgress under the access to information law, the public tab for audio-visuals for Finance Minister's luncheon speech at the Westin Edmonton Hotel was $5,248.95.
Audio-visuals for Flaherty's media availability? A cool $1,568.45.
Add $6,791.35 for flights, hotel and hospitality for three civil servants in Ottawa to accompany Flaherty to Edmonton for the luncheon with business executives. This includes $4,123.06 in flights, a $1,632.93 hotel bill, $446.11 in other transportation costs, and $589.25 for meals and "incidentals" — for the one-day trip.
Toss in $1,806.66 in technical briefings for the media in Ottawa and Edmonton, and you land at $15,415.41. This does not include the travel costs for Flaherty and his staff to get to Edmonton.
Setting aside the dubious spin in the update about the government's fiscal record, none of these costs would have been necessary had Flaherty just briefed MPs in the House of Commons or before the Finance Committee. And we could have chalked one up for respect for Parliament.
But at least the government didn't buy $27 cups of coffee.

When you go through a certain situation, good or bad, there's a way that everyone who is something in your life has something to say about that situation. Some see it like, 'there's a reason why things happen', 'there's something better in store for you', 'you're totally screwed', , 'you're so lucky', 'you totally deserved it', 'I'm so happy for you', 'let's work this one this out', 'you won't be a able to', 'you will make it through', 'don't worry, it'll be okay' … most of the time the reactions are completely different, they come in all forms positive, negative, encouraging, supportive, dismissing, concerned and helpful ones. Don't we always want people to be leaning towards the positive reactions, you know agree with what we say or do, offer assistance and so on? I do.
However, besides having other people responding to your situations, there's the way you also see it. It could be a situation where you want others to react positively to, but whether or not people give their opinions about it at the end, it's about what you think about it yourself. How you view it, your perception of it. Good things could be happening to you, but you fail to realize because you wanted more or you were really interested in other things besides the good that's happening to you. Such that your perception of that good thing seems not so good after all. For example, you could have gotten a good job, with a good pay so to say, but when you evaluate you see that money won't be enough to handle your bills and it gets downhill from there. Instead of you being thankful that you have a good job and you're getting some good experience and exposure; and you are able to put a roof over your head and food on the table, you think how bad it is that you don't have extra for vacays, outings or for expensive clothes and shoes. Been there, done that. Forgetting that I am favoured to have a great job or there's much more to look forward to than the simple pleasures that money can buy.
It could also be something bad that has happened to you *God forbid* and we have every right to have negative reactions. Feel bad for ourselves and wonder why it happened to us, not thinking if it didn't happen to us it could probably be happening to someone else, and they would also feel as bad as you are. It's good to feel bad, but then how we take it up from our feelings, is what determines the outcome. You could look at it from the point of; Why? You're totally crushed! You just don't know what to do next! Your world has come to an end. On the other hand, you could look at it as an opportunity to work harder, to do it differently so that you don't get the same results again or if it's something that's beyond of your control, know that for everything that happens there is an inherent reason why that you don't necessarily have to know (that sucks though). I am one of those firm believers that God has it all planned especially for those negative things that happen to us in as much as I would never want anything bad to happen to me and my loved ones, but again it's out of our control. It could be losing someone or something, accidents, heart-breaks, diseases, failures, disappointments and so on. Since it's merely out of your control, look for people who will support you, give you hope, have faith in you. Last but not least, believe in God and depend on him for things to get better for you. There are some things that don't make sense, never will, and the more you dwell on get answers to them, the more it becomes frustrating.
Perspective is everything. It's your outlook of life, how you choose to see things, even when you'd rather be blind to them. It's not about eye-sight though, it's mind-sight. Sometimes your mind can see things that your eyes have not yet seen. And if you can dream it, think it, then at some point I am pretty sure you will actually get to see it … literally! All the best in your endeavours.
Special shout out to my mum who just started running a clinic. After many years of working for and with organisations, helping others start their dreams, she resigned to follow her own dream of having her own clinic. I know it's not easy but I totally love your fresh perspective on it. We can't see it physically now, but your mind has and I believe that what you see will come to be. Plus I'll support you all through in whichever way I can and make every effort even when I feel I can't.
How's July coming along? Yet to update you on last month. It was an awesome one by all means.
Signing Off ~~~ *Kawi*

Don't skip breakfast as a busy mom! Share these easy breakfasts with your teens that you can both eat on the go.
Do you have hectic mornings at your house? Doesn't everyone? It can be so easy to "forget" to eat when you're rushing to get yourself (and everyone else) out the door, let alone eat something healthy that will keep you satisfied through the morning. I am trying to teach my tweens and teen to combine protein and fiber at breakfast to stave off hunger and give them energy to last till lunchtime. It's been helpful to me, too, so I don't skip breakfast or am tempted to snack on non-healthy options throughout the morning. These easy breakfast recipes are filled with protein and fiber, so they fit the bill. Add some of these easy breakfasts to your busy mornings!
It does take some weekend time to make a double batch of Whole Wheat Freezer Waffles, but then they're ready to pop in the toaster. Paired with a glass of milk and a hard-boiled egg, and this is a filling and hearty breakfast. These usually make it to the table, but sometimes the kids through them in a napkin and head out the door.
Often my son will head off to the school bus with one of these Hearty Breakfast Sandwiches wrapped in foil. They're easy to make, filled with protein, and cost less than 75-cents each. If your kids will eat a whole wheat English muffin, even better! Mine won't…
Make a handheld breakfast that's easy to take on the go with these Banana Blueberry Breakfast Muffins. They have protein from Greek yogurt and fiber from oats, flaxseed and whole wheat flour. Pair with a hard-boiled egg or big glass of milk.
If it's not one of the kids rushing out the door, it's me grabbing something quick to eat in the car on the way to whatever is happening that morning. Take care of yourself, Moms! Don't skip breakfast, just try planning ahead with these easy breakfast recipes.
What are your favorite easy breakfasts to eat on the go?

Great-grandma skydives and swims with sharks for 100th birthday
So what did you do for your birthday this year?
Georgina Harwood celebrated her 100th year in style Saturday by skydiving in Cape Town, South Africa. Her friends and family joined her, watching safely from the ground.
After successfully jumping, the birthday girl celebrated her return to Earth with a bit of bubbly. You might say she's the coolest 100-year-old person that has ever lived, considering she started skydiving at age 92.
But wait — it gets better. Harwood continued her extreme birthday celebrations on Monday by taking a dip in a shark cage. She was joined by her close family, including her great grandson.
"I'm so glad I did it," Harwood said after swimming with the sharks. "I just can't compare it to anything else."
But the great grandmother made sure that she wasn't the complete center of attention during her birthday celebrations. She used the opportunity to help raise funds for the National Sea Rescue Institute, asking her party guests to donate to the institution in place of giving her gifts.
"What do you give an old lady? Chocolate? Whiskey? Scarves? I don't want them really," Harwood told The NSRI.

What Does Spiritual Growth Mean?
Aastha Dogra
Mar 3, 2020
Being spiritual has nothing to do with religion. It means the overall growth and development of a person. Let us understand the meaning of growing from its perspective in this story.
Today, when attaining spirituality has become more of a fad rather than something all human beings should strive for, having been given the privilege of being called "humans", it's essential that you know what it means and what are its benefits. In order to understand this concept, you have to first of all quell all the misconceptions associated with it.
Many people hold this belief that just because they go to church every day and pray regularly, they have become spiritual. Following a religion and performing prayers, undoubtedly, is one of the ways to connect with oneself, but on its own, being religious does not make one spiritual. It means that a spiritual person can be religious, but its converse is not always true.
Next, we move on to another highly held belief regarding what it means. Some people feel, in order to be considered a spiritual person, you should give up your family life, your possessions, and everything dear to you. And that you should go to some faraway mountain and pray, only then you will attain salvation.
This is again just a misconception. To be spiritual does not imply that you cut away from everything. On the contrary, it makes us understand how we are a part of this whole universe and that each one of us has its own place in it.
It tells us that all our actions and thoughts, whether positive or negative, ultimately affect us and everybody else around us because we are all, after all, an interconnected whole.
Being spiritual means to be kind and caring for ourselves, the living beings we know, and also for those we do not know. Our kindness should not only be reflected through our actions but also through our words and thoughts.
So, there might be a person who religiously goes to church every day or meditates, but if he does not love himself or his fellow beings, or if he is selfish, judgmental, or has even a slightest hint of negativity in him, it means that he is not spiritual.
Spiritualism emphasizes inculcating love, truthfulness, positive thinking, peace, kindness, and happiness within ourselves. It means to realize that everybody - all humans, animals, insects, plants, and all other living beings - are connected to one another.
So, if any harm is done, or wished upon on any of these, the others are bound to be affected. That's why, in order to be spiritual, a person needs to be helping, caring, and considerate of others, and thus, choose his actions, words, and thoughts consciously.
This is not something that will come to you naturally. No amount of praying, or joining any religious group, Yoga, or meditation alone is going to make you one. It is something which you choose to be by being helpful, caring, and kind to others.
The day you feel that you wish happiness and success to even those whom you once considered your enemies, the day you feel that you have forgiven those who hurt you once, the day you have only kind and good thoughts, that's when you will be considered one in the true sense.
