MAKATI CITY – Following President Rodrigo Duterte's directive to bridge various gaps in the supply chain to make the local coffee industry more competitive, the Department of Trade and Industry recently gathered coffee farmers, processors, manufacturers, Regional Council Chairs, national government agencies, and members of the academe from the Island of Luzon for the Luzon Island Coffee Cluster Assembly.
The assembly aimed to present the national and localized version roadmap of each region, establish an institutional mechanism of roadmap localization and implementation, and learn about coffee quality standards and market opportunities.
National Coffee Coordinator and DTI Cordillera Administrative Region Regional Director Myrna Pablo explained the current situation of the industry, especially the gap between demand and production.
"The Philippine coffee production is far from serving coffee consumption of the country. Currently, 90% of the demand is imported for about P12 billion. The demand is still increasing with expanding consumption based among younger generation and night shift workers. Likewise, coffee shops are increasing, and specialty coffee market is expanding," Pablo said, adding that while coffee production is almost all over the country, the country's production is very far from sufficiency.
In March, DTI Secretary Ramon Lopez and Department of Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol signed the Philippine Coffee Industry Roadmap 2017-2022 to bridge the gap between the steady high demand for coffee and the slow decline in production, and to provide aid to coffee farmers.
Pablo said that the Coffee Roadmap is focused on optimizing income for Filipino farmers and the micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the industry.
The activity also discussed the Philippine Coffee Market vs. World Market Behaviors, Consumer Demand Innovation, Coffee Science Researches, Coffee Development Programs of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Department of Science and Technology, and the High Value Crops Development Program of the Department of Agriculture.
Coffee is among the priority industry clusters that DTI is targeting to develop in the next five years, given its high potential to accelerate the region's economic growth. While the sector has so much to offer, development remains slow.
In 2016, DTI has assisted 2,695 coffee MSMEs while providing 19,232 jobs to Filipinos.
The Philippines envisions a coffee industry that is cost-competitive, aligned with global quality standards, reliable and environment-friendly, and provides sustainable benefits to farmers, processors, traders, and exporters.
Some of the proposed strategies to achieve the target are to improve quality and availability of planting material, enhance farm efficiency and investments, and improve competitiveness, market price, and coffee standards.

ELKHART, Ind. — After days of high-stakes negotiations with foreign governments, President Trump traveled to a rally here Thursday night, briefly swapping his role as grim-faced statesman for one that comes more naturally to him: campaign trail firebrand.
In a visit meant to bolster Mike Braun, a wealthy former state legislator who won a bruising Republican Senate primary this week, Mr. Trump appeared before an excited crowd to share his administration's track record: North Korea had freed three American prisoners. The United States had withdrawn from the nuclear agreement with Iran. And the American Embassy would soon open in Jerusalem.
The president's message to his voters was clear — because of his efforts, "America is respected again."
Also clear was his message to the supporters who packed the 7,300-capacity middle school gym here: That progress could quickly disappear if the balance of the Senate tips against Republicans this fall.
"This week, you nominated an incredible slate of Republican candidates," Mr. Trump said. "And you have to work every day between now and November to elect more Republicans."
In a speech reminiscent of his own time as a candidate, Mr. Trump disparaged a litany of opponents, saving much of his ire for Senator Joe Donnelly, the chamber's most vulnerable Democrat, who will face Mr. Braun in November.
The president referred to Mr. Donnelly, whom he once courted but has now turned on, as "Sleepin' Joe," and painted Mr. Donnelly as an "incredible swamp person" emblematic of the political establishment his administration has promised to eradicate from Washington.
Mr. Trump also sampled from his classic red-meat menu, flirting with extending his presidential term, castigating the "fake news media," promising to build a wall on the southern border with Mexico — "when I get the votes," he said, "I need Republicans" — and espousing his reverence for the American flag.
He peppered his speech with folksy references to the Hoosier state, including basketball, the former incendiary Indiana University basketball coach Bob Knight and Lou Holtz, the former Notre Dame football coach. And for added measure, Mr. Trump brought Vice President Mike Pence, a native Hoosier and a former governor of the state, with him to the gymnasium.
(Mr. Pence's brother, Greg, handily won the primary this week for the vice president's former House seat. At one point, Mr. Trump ribbed the vice president, asking if his brother won by a wider margin than he had.)
Mr. Trump's only misstep came when he praised Bill Belichick, the coach of the New England Patriots. "No, no, we like him," Mr. Trump said to appease the booing crowd, presumably Indianapolis Colts fans.
But the crowd enthusiastically bought the president's pitch, even if Barack Obama successfully sold that brand of flattery here first.
Elkhart, on the northern edge of Indiana, is a manufacturing town where recreational vehicle assembly has long been the bread and butter of the local economy. A decade ago, amid the Great Recession, and when the town had one of the fastest-rising unemployment rates in the United States, Mr. Obama often made campaign stops here during his primary race against Hillary Clinton.
Taking a chance on Mr. Obama's message of hope in 2008, Indiana swung Democratic for the first time in decades.
Jobs have since returned to Elkhart, but not at the same rate of pay. People said they have a harder time scraping to the middle than they once did.
But Elkhart went from having double-digit unemployment rates to less than 3 percent, with the most drastic improvement happening while Mr. Obama was in office. On Thursday, however, the mention of Mr. Obama's name was met with sustained jeers.
Indeed, in recent years, the state's electoral map has veered back to the right. And Mr. Trump's 2016 "Make America Great Again" campaign appears to have effectively steamrolled much of the Obama-era good will.
Dan Holtz, the chairman of the Elkhart County Republican Party, said in an interview that Mr. Trump's "America First" messaging — and candidates like Mr. Braun, who carry a version of that message — resonate in a stronger way with voters than the Obama administration's story of Elkhart's recovery ever did.
"Elkhart has always been sort of a boom and bust town," Mr. Holtz said. "There's no serious person here who credits Obama with that recovery."
Democrats in the area say Mr. Trump is trying to take credit for the past administration's progress.
"The numbers tell a clear story, that Elkhart's amazing recovery in many was the story of the Obama economy," said Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., a Democrat.
Mr. Trump, he said, was leaning hard on nostalgia that somehow would magically restore the manufacturing center, which the mayor said was a false hope.
"Trying to turn the clock back socially, economically and racially to the '50s, that's attractive to some people," Mr. Buttigieg said. "But the alternative is to move to the future."
But Mr. Trump's supporters in Indiana may have different ideas of what they want their political future to be, a point emphasized by the president and vice president during their speeches Thursday night.
"The truth is our administration has faced unprecedented obstruction by Democrats," Mr. Pence said, "including Indiana Senator Joe Donnelly."
Shortly after Mr. Trump left the rally, Mr. Donnelly, who was first elected to the Senate in 2012 and is considered a centrist in his party, issued a statement answering the president's accusations that he could not be trusted to deliver on the Republican agenda. Mr. Donnelly has carefully nurtured a voting record that has, until now, avoided being considered by Republicans as too liberal.
"It's O.K. that the president and vice president are here today for politics, but problems only get solved when you roll up your sleeves and put in the hard work," Mr. Donnelly said. "I'm Indiana's hired help in the Senate because I don't work for any president or any political party — I work for Hoosiers, and that will never change."
Mr. Donnelly may face an uphill battle persuading them. As Mr. Holtz, the local Republican chairman put it, Democrats are increasingly viewed as obstructionists in the Senate, a sign that the Trump administration's messaging on the subject may be working at the local level.
Despite Mr. Trump's triumphant message of recovery, "I've never seen people as angry as they are now" over key issues, particularly over the cost of their health care, Mr. Holtz said.
Mr. Donnelly, Mr. Pence reminded the crowd, had voted against the repeal of the Affordable Care Act.

How is your Bible doing?
How are you doing?
If you are like most people, this question is asked of you many times each day.
You respond with the predictable, "Fine, how are you?" Then the initiator of the question responds with a similar answer and everyone moves on with their day.
Now, I would like to ask you a different question.
How is your Bible doing?
I imagine that question will make you ponder longer than the first. Think about it for a moment. Where is your Bible anyway? How does it look? Are the pages as crisp and clean as the day you took it out of its original box?
Does it look similar to a dust covered archaic journal found in an adventure movie?
When was the last time you read encouraging words like, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5) or, "I know the plans I have for you" (Jeremiah 29:11). What about, "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good" (Psalm 107:1)?
The health of our Bible speaks volumes about the health of our selves.
Find a person carrying a tattered Bible, its pages filled with highlighted and underlined verses, and I will venture to guess that you have found a person who is peaceful with life's circumstances, joyful in everyday situations and thankful for the ordinary things in life.
Really, "How are you doing?"
Spend time in prayer, read your Bible, allow God's love to soak into your heart and transform your life.

Rising global middle classes pose huge resource threat
The "wonderful and frightening" rise of the world's middle classes is pushing us towards a resource crunch, warns the UK's top climate diplomat, and we must act now with better urban and economic planning. David Rogers reports.
Sir David King, the UK's former chief scientific adviser and now the Foreign Office's Special Representative for Climate Change, has warned that cities face a slew of problems caused, ultimately, by global industrial development and the rise of a new middle class in the developing world.
Business people, academics, politicians and NGOs have no time to lose in designing urban planning solutions to the problems before they "fester and wound" societies around the globe, he said.
The main problem is not population growth, King said, because the world's average birth rate has fallen to 2.2 children for every woman, while 2.1 leads to a stable population.
Instead, the problem is the rise of a global middle class, which he defined as people who spend between $10 and $100 a day. That rise is happening at a "wonderful and frightening rate", King told a conference on sustainable cities at the University of Reading on Tuesday.
"There were 1 billion people in the middle class in the year 2000. We passed 2 billion last year, and we're projected to reach 5 billion by 2030 – that's pretty soon," he said.
Preparing for a world with this number of urban middle class consumers in a short space of time is a challenge the world has never faced before– Sir David King
"So preparing for a world with this number of urban middle class consumers in a short space of time is a challenge that the world has never faced before – and it's coming at us at the same time as the demographic pressure has created a whole series of other challenges."
Humans have become a predominantly urban species in the past six years. In 2008, out of the 6.5 billion people on the planet, half were living in cities. By 2050, 70% of 9 billion will live in vast city regions.
Sir David King addressing the World Economic Forum in 2012 (Wikimedia Commons)
"Almost all of this growth is occurring in Asia Pacific, where 95% of the new middle class are, with Africa coming along rapidly behind," King said. "This is where urban development is going to be happening at a rate that we've never seen before."
It's a challenge, he said, but also an opportunity – one that's "going by in a flash".
"If we don't turn it into an opportunity we're going to allow a whole range of problems to fester and wound the development of societies around the world."
The challenge is that rising global demand puts pressure on energy, raw materials, food and water.
Commodity prices today are higher in real terms that they have been for a long time – two-and-a-half times higher than they were in the 1980s, he said.
"Resources that are already stressed delivering to 1 billion middle class people are soon going to have to deliver to 5 billion," he said.
Middle class people eat more meat, for example, and King said it takes 12,000 litres of fresh water to produce one kilogram of beef. (The Water Footprint Network puts that estimate at more than 15,000 litres.)
This is coming on top of increasing water scarcity: King cited the 14 year drought in south Australia that is placing Melbourne under greater water stress.
Thirsty Beijing, meanwhile, is planning to build a $1bn desalination plant 270km away on the coast which will supply a third of the Chinese capital's daily water needs, state media have reported.
Challenge to politicians
Meanwhile, politicians respond poorly to the challenges, he said.
"You could say, let's deal with water shortage by converting sea water into fresh water, but that's an energy intensive process.
Rush hour on Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok (Aimaimyi/Wikimedia Commons)
"If you turn sea water into fresh water in Australia you use coal, and in the Middle East you use oil, because it has a subsidised price of $5 a barrel. It so happens that every country that has a shortage of water also has a surfeit of sunlight, but no country is using sunlight to make fresh water."
King stressed that political decisions and better urban planning could solve the problems brought by increasing demand.
He gave the example of car use, which is encouraged by low density urban development. Developing countries had to resist being "seduced by [the] Hollywood image of people in big cars driving all over the place".
Planners should also push for mixed use. "The notion of dividing cities up into an area for business and an area for housing has to be put into the box marked 'the Devil'," he said. "We have to avoid the attraction of every individual jumping into their car every day and saying 'I'm off to work'."
Bogotá, Colombia, was a shining beacon of good policy, he said. There, Enrique Peñalosa, mayor between 1998 and 2001, waged a policy war on cars.
When he was elected there was a proposal to spend $5bn on elevated highways while, at the time, the city's bus service was disorganised and run by competing companies.
Peñalosa and later mayors brought the bus service under city control, created exclusive bus lanes and built new terminals and stations. Now, the city's "TransMilenio" is considered the global gold standard in bus rapid transit systems. It, plus new cycle paths and walkways, have put cars to the back of the queue in Bogotá.
"Transformation doesn't necessarily require technology or finance," King said, "but it does require vision and the ability for a political figure to carry it through."
He added that, in the UK, a similar aim could be fulfilled by high speed rail, as the UK train network was at "saturation point", and the controversial HS2 and 3 would be the biggest single advance in inter-city travel since the Victorian era.
Gordon Murray's design for a plastic car: the chassis can be made in less than a minute (Gordon Murray Design)
"The argument that we can already get to Birmingham pretty quickly is not the main point," he said. "The main point is to add passenger miles to the system."
Going round in circles
King added that future societies would have to embrace "circular" economic models, in which all waste is raw material.
"The linear economy of the 20th century was based on taking material out of the ground and turning it into a commodity and then putting it back in the ground," he said.
"The circular economy has to be the better way forward. Every manufactured good in the future should be made so that it can be remanufactured."
"The Chinese Communist Party," he added, "has built this circular economy into its list of objectives."
A good example, he said, is the plastic car created by UK designer Gordon Murray. The chassis of his T25 model can be moulded in 52 seconds.
"It's one piece of plastic with no bolts—the average car has 1,500 bolts," he said. "Drop in an engine and you drive off in five-and-a-half minutes."
Even human waste needs to be seen as valuable, he insisted.
"New Yorkers generate 1 million kilograms of solid waste a day, one percent of which is phosphates and nitrates that can be readily extracted—both are energy intensive to make and phosphates are becoming scarce and expensive. Yet it is all dumped at sea, as it is in every other city."
In calling for circular economic models, King joins a small but influential choir that includes McKinsey&Company, Dutch manufacturer Philips, and the Ecological Sequestration Trust.
And his warning over the rise of the global middle classes echoes his successor in the post of UK chief scientific advisor, John Beddington, who, in 2009, warned of "perfect storm" of food, water and energy resources unleashing unrest and and conflicts in vulnerable parts of the world.
It's not clear, however, what influence such calls will have.
In September last year, King was named the foreign secretary's special representatives on climate change, which gives him a role in shaping the UK's diplomatic policy as it relates to climate change and low-carbon growth.
He'll also help formulate the UK's negotiating strategy at next year's UN climate change conference in Paris.
He is also the chair of the Future Cities Catapult organisation, set up by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills last year with funding of £150m. It brings together government, business and universities to find ways of stimulating business opportunities around the need for resource efficiency and quality of life in cities.
If, as King maintains, the political vision to tackle the resource crunch is everywhere lacking, we might hope that business will lead the way.

Sunday morning I was walking back from the grocery store, carrying three bags of stuff to eat for the week. I saw that Old Barfy was sitting outside in front of Peggy's apartment, next door to mine. He shouted out, "How's ol' Brian doin' today?"
I nodded a hello and kept my head down as though deep in thought.
Suddenly Peggy burst out of her apartment, the screen door banging against its stop. She was wearing a faded bathrobe and was adjusting her glasses as if she'd just put them on. "Brian? Where's your cat?" she shouted significantly.
Peggy's normally nice to me, but because I was still in anti-social mood I wasn't reading her correctly. Was she mad at me? Did Smacky do something bad? Or was she worried? I stopped on the sidewalk, weighted down by the bags I carried, facing her. "I think he's in the house," and I moved my right arm slightly towards my front door. "Why?"
She paused a minute. "Do you go up to the store?"
I was still not getting her. I gave her the confused look.
"Foster's Market, she's talking about," Old Barfy offerred from his seat.
"There's a sign up there," she said, "about somebody pouring… something on the cats in the neighborhood."
"It… burns 'em, or somethin'," O.B. said.
"Like… acid?" I asked.
O.B. nodded, and Peggy continued, "Anyway, I just wanted you to know, and to keep an eye on your cat."
"Thanks," I said. "I'm pretty sure he was in my apartment when I left. I hadn't noticed anything on him…" my voice trailed off.
"OK, I just wanted you to know. There's some real weirdos out there."
I nodded again, and then finished walking up to my front door. As I put the bags on the ground to dig out my key, Smacky came bursting out of the bushes and made a black furry streak for the front step. "Shit! There you are! I thought you were inside."
Smacky just flopped over on his side, meowing at me, and rubbing his head on my shoe. He didn't have anything on him that I could see.
I kept him inside the rest of the day, in spite of the weather, until he scratched me a couple of times. That's when I threw him out briefly while I watched a movie.

Wow, it's hard to come up with a project for Father's Day that is cheap and 9 year old boys can make, but I finally came up with something. I already had the chalkboard paint and chalk so the only cost was $1 for each frame.
The boys painted the frames one week then finished them the next week. I painted 2 of the frames for the boys who weren't there the first week. When you take the center cardboard out of the frame leave the prongs out so it holds the frame off the table and makes it easy to paint. I thought I was an impatient painter, but 9 year old boys have me beat.
I showed the boys how to sharpen the chalk using a pencil sharpener so they could write better on the frame. They thought that was pretty cool.
After letting the paint dry a few days, season the chalkboard by rubbing a piece of chalk all over the surface. The boys liked this part too. Remove the chalk with a damp cloth and let dry. Now you're ready to draw on the chalkboard surface.
I wanted the boys to be able to attach a piece of the chalk to the frame so we came up with this idea. I cut a piece of 24 gauge black wire 8″ long then had the boys coil it around the piece of chalk. Make the bottom end a little closer to hold the tip where it belongs. Leave about 2 1/2″ at the top.
I forgot to take a picture of the back of the frame but I took the extra wire at the top of the coil and hot glued it to the back of the frame. Make sure it's a pretty big blob and it holds really well.
I made an example for the boys so they had an idea of what they could put on the frame. I don't really think they needed an example. They did great on their own. Yes, we have an honorary female scout. She's the other leader's daughter and loves scouts as much as the boys.
Here's another look at Ammon's frame. I love that he put "cool–>". Shh.. I have to tell hubby not to look at this post.

Avant Garde Book BT License ?
Avant Garde Book BT is not a free font, I presume, right?
Okay, that's what I thought.... ummmmmm..... I really hate being a whistle blower but...
**had to add this, I am not trying to "narc" anyone out... maybe he just didn't know? I was just pretty certian he should not distribute this...***
Naughty if not stupid. Good thing one has to sign in to comment and I don't want to ... guess it would not appreciate the comment.
Well I am a member there, what should i do, should I send him a message or report it? (They have a link next to all their deviations to "report this deviation" as it is an art site violations like this are of course prohibited)
It's not right that it remain there, I don't know what action to take... Contact him or straight to DA?
Most of the other fonts in the pack are free or free for personal use, so I have to assume that he didn't know better, though I don't see how....
It's up to you. For me? I would comment and you may imagine how - hiding behind 'We do not take any credit for these fonts we are just the distributor', the nitwit. I would certainly report the deviation. Not that I have much pity with Bitstream, they should be able to manage their own business and we all know how Bitstream started - and grew fast. But still ...
Yes it's not as if this would affect Bitstream at all but it's just the principle, we respect our industry. I guess I will just make sure he is aware that he is not authorized (to say the least) in redistributing certain fonts and take it from there. Thanks.
All's well that ends well. He was unaware, apologized sincerely and is taking it down.
I noticed that too. But I feel kind of silly now, because I did a search for the font and there were plenty of sites offering it for free. I know that font licenses are often ignored, but not so blatantly. When you search for a strictly commercial font, you might see a few results saying "get this free here," but the majority will say something like, "purchase here." Search Avant Garde Book BT, and you will get nothing but sites offering it for free...And I visited a few, and they do! Maybe I am naive and that is how blatantly terms are violated, but it made me wonder if they have in fact changed the permissions. Is it possible they changed the license?
No Lauren, the license has not changed and will not change.
Yes Lauren, almost any commercial font, certainly from the mayor suppliers, can be found as a free download in no time. That is wrong, but a fact. Respect for others and their property is already hard to find nowadays but close to extinct on the web. Alas.

I'm Stefano Lera, I was born on 16th November 1991. I've been an hiking guide since 2013, in love with the mountains and their inhabitants. Forests, whirling streams, the shy roe deer and thegolden eagle, modern sheperds and ancient wayfarers, all inhabitants of a great universe called mountain.
Inhabitans of a world that have bewitched me inspiring my imagination and enriching my soul since I was a child.
As a child I "saw" elves and knights on the paths down by the majestic beeches and now I love showing these "heart places" to my guests.
I'm fond of local history and for this reason I try to tell the life of the people who have crossed this land along the centuries. Ruins, inscriptions, ancient legends to understand how local people lived on our mountains.
Conveying my love for this land is my real mission and on my path I met other two walkers with the same dream in the their backpacks.
With Daniele and Manuel I created Wild Trails in October 2015 to organise hiking, school trips and holidays to make Garfagnana full of enthusiastic travellers.
We do believe in this job that was born and grows up thanks to a great passion for our mountains. The first is not possible without the second one.

In the first reading we hear of a father's love for his son. In the gospel reading we see a father who loves his daughter. Both children are in dire need of help. Both fathers reach out to men who they believe can help, men they trust. The first man's hopes are dashed. The second man celebrates.
David trusted Joab and he failed David in one of the most important episodes of his life. Jairus trusted Jesus and saw Death flee from the presence of He who is Life. The heading for Psalm 86 is "A prayer of David." We do not know when in his life he prayed this prayer. We only know that, by now, he knows what Jairus knew. He knew that it makes a difference where you place your trust. He declares: You are my God. I trust in you.

It is from a strong history of church planting that Christ Presbyterian Church has initiated a local church planting and multi-congregation vision such as to make the Total Christ vision more accessible to cultural and geographical communities that are presently under-served in Southern Connecticut. Some of the nearby cultural and geographical communities include:
Ansonia/Derby/Shelton: Located approximately 12 miles northwest of New Haven, the "tri-cities" on the Metro North Commuter Train line have a population of more than 75,000. Founded along the scenic Housatonic and Naugutuck Rivers in the eighteenth century, the Ansonia, Derby, and Shelton communities are recognized for their heavy machine manufacturing industries.
Clinton: With a population of 13,500, beautiful views of Long Island Sound, sunny beaches and historic buildings, this gem of a town is approximately 100 miles from both New York and Boston, and easily accessible from New Haven, Middletown, and New London.
East Haven: With a population of nearly 30,000, and bisected by interstate 95, the town of East Haven is located immediately east of New Haven and is a significant home to retailers large and small.
Middletown: 22 miles northeast of New Haven, and home to Wesleyan University, one of the leading liberal arts institutions in the U.S., Middletown has a population of 50,000 and is home to thriving Cambodian, Tibetan and Hindu communities.
New London/Waterford: A deep water port city with a population of 28,000 (270,000 in the metro area) located at the mouth of the Thames River, New London is a diverse, business-friendly community and transportation hub with a rich arts and music scene and numerous recreational activities. The city is home to Connecticut College, Mitchell College, the United States Coast Guard Academy, and a United States Navy Submarine Base; New London is thus known as the "Home of the Submarine Force."
Norwalk: On the Long Island Sound, Norwalk is the sixth largest city in Connecticut, with a population close to 90,000. Founded in 1649, this upscale city "faces New York City," with an economy tied to the financial industry.
Old Saybrook/Old Lyme/East Lyme: On the Connectictut shoreline, nearly 40,000 people live in these beautiful, historic, wealthy sailing towns.
Waterbury/Watertown: 22 miles north of New Haven, the fifth largest city in Connecticut with a population of over 110,000, Waterbury is known for its advanced technology capabilities and its strong communities and neighborhoods. It is connected to New York City as the last stop on a spur of the Metro North Commuter Train line. The nearby classic New England village of Watertown is home to The Taft School, one of the leading prep schools in the world.
Westbrook: Located 28 miles east of New Haven on Long Island Sound with a population of 7,000, Westbrook is an upscale seaside community with one of the highest average household incomes in the state of Connecticut.
This list is by no means meant to be comprehensive! Our whole wonderful State is in great need of Total Christ / Five Mark churches.
Watch this fun video from the Connecticut Office of Tourism for an overview of the common grace God has poured out upon our State.
As prosperous as our wonderful State may be with the blessings of common grace -- according to the United States Prosperity Index, ours is the 2nd most prosperous state -- when it comes to the presence of Total Christ churches, Connecticut is in dire need. We invite you to partner with us!

Deployment guide for Docker Swarm¶
Note: If you need to use
sudoto access the
dockerCLI then you should prefix this behind any shell scripts or CLIs used in this guide or any related tutorials.
1.0 Install the
You can install the OpenFaaS CLI using
brew or a
curl script.
- via
brew install faas-cli
- via
$ curl -sL https://cli.openfaas.com | sudo sh
If you run the script as a normal non-root user then the script will be downloaded to the current folder.
1.1 Initialize Swarm Mode¶
You can create a single-host Docker Swarm on your laptop with a single command. You don't need any additional software to Docker 17.06 or greater. You can also run these commands on a Linux VM or cloud host.
This is how you initialize your master node:
$ docker swarm init
If you have more than one IP address you may need to pass a string like
--advertise-addr eth0 to this command.
Take a note of the join token
1.2 Join any workers you need¶
Log into your worker node and type in the output from
docker swarm init on the master. If you've lost this info then type in
docker swarm join-token worker and then enter that on the worker.
It's also important to pass the
--advertise-addr string to any hosts which have a public IP address.
Check whether you need to enable firewall rules for the Docker Swarm ports listed here.
2.0 Deploy the stack¶
Clone OpenFaaS and then checkout the latest stable release:
$ git clone https://github.com/openfaas/faas && \
cd faas && \
As of OpenFaaS 0.8.6 basic authentication will be enabled by default when running ./deploy_stack.sh. If you need to disable it pass the flag
--no-auth to the ./deploy_stack.sh script as above.
2.0.1 Raspberry Pi / 32-bit ARM (armhf)¶
For a complete tutorial on setting up OpenFaaS for Raspberry Pi / 32-bit ARM using Docker Swarm see the following blog post from Alex Ellis: Your Serverless Raspberry Pi cluster with Docker.
When creating new functions you will need to run the build on an armhf host.
Note: expert users can create or use multi-arch templates which can build on a PC and deploy to an armhf host.
- You can run
faas-cli deployfrom any computer using
- But you must build Docker images on a Raspberry Pi, not on your PC or laptop.
For the Function Store, use the following:
faas-cli store list --platform armhf
faas-cli store deploy NAME
2.1 Store your admin credentials¶
The default configuration will create a username and password combination for you:
Attempting to create credentials for gateway..
username: admin
password: <some_hash_secret>
echo -n <some_hash_secret> | faas-cli login --username=admin --
Run the command as you see it in your console, do not copy/paste the login command. Once you run
faas-cli login your password will be stored as a hash at
You will need the password for the CLI, UI and REST API on the gateway, but you can invoke your functions without it.
2.1 Test out the UI¶
Within a few seconds (or minutes if on a poor WiFi connection) the API gateway and associated OpenFaaS images will be pulled into your local Docker library and you will be able to access the UI at:
If you're running on Linux you may find that accessing
localhost times out. We recommend using an IPv4 address such as http://127.0.0.1:8080 to prevent any ambiguity.
2.2 Deploy functions from the OpenFaaS Function Store¶
You can find many different sample functions from the community through the OpenFaaS Function Store. The Function Store is built into the UI portal and also available via the CLI.
To search the store:
$ faas-cli store list
To deploy
$ faas-cli store deploy figlet
Now find the function deployed in the cluster and invoke it.
$ faas-cli list
$ echo "OpenFaaS!" | faas-cli invoke figlet
You can also access the Function Store from the Portal UI and find a range of functions covering everything from machine-learning to network tools.
3.0 Start the hands-on labs¶
Learn how to build serverless functions with OpenFaaS and Python in our half-day workshop. You can follow along online at your own pace.
If you are running into any issues please check out the troubleshooting guide and search the documentation / past issues before raising na issue.

If you're selling a property, it can be a bonus if it's in a desirable area or great location, but there are also plenty of things that, as a seller, you can do yourself to make your home more appealing.
Often much of what makes the sale speedy and more profitable can be the way the house is presented. Here are 25 tips to help sell your house which you might find handy if you're looking to start the viewing process.
Readings top 25 tips
First impressions count, so spruce up your front garden, give your front door a lick of paint and make your home look welcoming from the start. Who knows who might be driving by and spot that it's for sale?
- Perhaps if you've got a nice car, consider leaving that on the drive and giving the driveway a good pressure wash before you do.
- In a similar way to the front of the house, ensure the entrance hall is pleasing to the senses. Paint it in neutral colours, keep it smelling fragrant, looking tasteful and REMOVE THE CLUTTER!
- Carry this theme throughout by keeping the whole house clutter free and the walls painted in light colours to enhance the space.
- Also, get rid of any nasty smells that might be lingering about, such as blocked drains, stale cigarette smoke or strong cooking smells. Get to the source of it and remove it, rather than trying to cover it up.
- Look to keep the property smelling nice, maybe with a freshly brewed pot of coffee, baked bread or beautiful flowers to enhance the look and feel.
- Make the most of the lighting in your home, as somewhere that is bright and sunny or well-lit comes across much better.
- Ensure all light bulbs are in good working order and keys are available for French doors and windows, should they need to be opened.
- Get your windows sparkly clean and properly dressed with nice blinds or curtains, as not only will it help more light to come into the property, but it will look more attractive too.
- Regularly keep the windows open in the lead up to viewings to let the air circulate.
- Depersonalise the house, by removing personal photographs, artwork or ornaments, making it easier for buyers to imagine themselves living there.
- Keep pets away during viewings – an allergic reaction is never a good experience to take away from a house viewing and even if buyers love animals, your pet may draw attention away from the things that you really want them to see.
- Also look to move pet water bowls, litter trays etc out of sight.
- Make sure your back garden is well kept, attractive, has nice, clean furniture in it and looks like a good place to relax in and entertain.
- Ensure the house is spotlessly clean. Make the idea of living there a pleasing thought and remove any dirt, mess and detritus that might be lying around.
- Clean the carpets and get them looking and smelling great.
- In the same way that you should remove the clutter and put it into storage, take out any large pieces of furniture that might make the room look small.
- Make the most of feature fireplaces. Perhaps look to have a welcoming roaring fire going?
- Put your DIY skills into practice by carrying out any minor repairs that need doing, such as cracked tiles or holes in the walls.
- The kitchen is the room that can make or break a sale. If your kitchen desperately needs updating, but you don't want to spend on a total refit, consider new cabinet doors and worktops and uncluttered surfaces.
- Remove toiletries, bath toys, medication and all the other personal things that tend to gather in the bathroom. Make sure it's spotlessly clean and put out clean and nicely folded towels which compliment the colour of the bathroom.
- Use large mirrors in appropriate places to again enhance the size of the room.
- Consider removing doors to create a bigger and better feel for your living space.
- Plump the cushions nicely, straighten the curtains and tidy up the bookshelves, when removing clutter.
- Choose a good estate agent who will show the property to buyers in the very best light.

great success!
The Fairbanks B&N book signing went very well! Saw a couple people I knew and far more I didn't, and many of them bought books. :) A lot of people stopped to talk, which almost never happens at a book signing (the fresh homemade chocolate chip cookies may have helped :)), and I think we all had a lot of fun.
Next public appearance is at the UAF bookstore from 2:30-4pm on Tuesday!
Awesome (if I do say so myself) picture of me with some readers at NYCC!

After an eventful winter a year ago, Cheverus is ready to steal more headlines in 2010-11. Boys' basketball is once again defending a state title and this year's squad might be even more talented than last year's juggernaut. The girls' program has come of age and is now a premier power, ready to make a legitimate run at the top spot. Girls' hockey won states a year ago and looks to be in the mix again. Boys' hockey is hoping to get to the playoffs. Both track teams feature standout athletes. Swimming, skiing and wrestling boast talented kids as well.
COACH: Bob Brown (10th year)
2009-10 Record: 21-1 (Beat Edward Little, 55-50, to win Class A state title)
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS: Griffin Brady (Senior), Nick Burns (Senior), Peter Gwilym (Senior), Connor O'Neil (Senior), Joe Savino (Senior), Louie DiStasio (Junior), Cam Olson (Junior), Matt Cimino (Sophomore)
PIVOTAL GAMES: Dec, 14 @ Westbrook, Dec. 21 @ Portland, Jan. 4 @ Windham, Jan. 11 @ Thornton Academy, Jan. 13 @ Bonny Eagle, Jan. 15 (H) SCARBOROUGH, Jan. 21 (H) PORTLAND, Jan. 22 (H) DEERING, Jan. 28 @ South Portland, Feb. 8 @ Deering, Feb. 11 (H) SOUTH PORTLAND
COACH'S COMMENT: "We started slow, giving the (state champion) football kids a week off. We're nowhere near ready. We have to figure out who belongs where and everyone's role. No question we have talent. The question is how well people fit the roles of the team. I have a lot of guys who can score. We have good size from top to bottom. We might be even deeper this year. It's a very different team. We should be in the top four. I would say we'll be good. I'm not sure how good."
THE FORECASTER'S FORECAST: Cheverus is coming off what was likely the most eventful season in program history a year ago. Amid the eligibility soap opera of standout point guard Indiana Faithfull, the Stags won their first 17 games, dropped their finale, then, after Faithfull was reinstated just hours before the start of the tournament, Cheverus marched to its second Gold Ball in three seasons. Those Stags did it all, leading the league in team offense and team defense. While it suffered some major losses in the offseason (Cheverus graduated Faithfull and Kyle Randall and lost standout Alex Furness, who transferred to Wells), this winter promises more tranquility and quite likely, more glory as this particular squad has the potential to be one of the deepest and most balanced we've seen in some time. Friday night, the Stags opened by dominating Noble, 102-29. They led, 33-3, after one quarter and 51-9 at the half. Savino and O'Neil (a captain) will look to fill Faithfull's shoes at point guard. On the wing, look for DiStasio (10.1 points and 1.5 steals per game in 2009-10), who becomes more and more of a breakout star by the day, to bury his share of 3-pointers (he drained 34 a year ago, good for fourth in the league). DiStasio was an SMAA second-team all-star and the league's Rookie of the Year a year ago. He had 12 points on Opening Night. Inside, Brady (a captain, who had 5.2 rebounds per contest a year ago) and Cimino (who's poised to become a household name) will tickle the twine with regularity. If that's not enough, mix in Olson (who had a game-high 14 points Friday night), the unflappable Gwilym (Cheverus' Fall Male Athlete of the Year after leading the Stags to a football championship), Burns (10 points against Noble), junior James Kapothanasis (12 points Friday) and a trio of newcomers, junior Shawn Grover (who stands 6-foot-7 and had 13 points versus Noble) and sophomores Michael Flaherty (a transfer from Deering) and Malcolm Smith (10 points in the opener). All the pieces are in place for another title run. If this group stays healthy, focused and committed to team play, we could be in for the ultimate example of the "Brownie Ballet," a smothering matchup zone defense that leads to easy transition hoops, combined with an unrivaled ball movement offense that produces win after win and culminates with another title celebration. Cheverus (which has won 15 games or more nine years running) is once again the team to beat. Look out, SMAA, the Stags are back. Eastern Class A, you've been warned as well.
COACH: Richie Ashley (fourth year)
2009-10 Record: 13-6 (Lost, 45-38, to Biddeford in Western A quarterfinals)
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS: Alexandra Palazzi-Leahy (Junior), Brooke Flaherty (Sophomore), Mikayla Mayberry (Sophomore), Victoria Nappi (Sophomore)
PIVOTAL GAMES: Dec. 22 (H) MCAULEY, Jan. 11 (H) THORNTON ACADEMY, Jan. 15 @ Scarborough, Jan. 22 @ Deering, Feb. 1 @ Gorham, Feb. 5 (H) SANFORD, Feb. 8 @ McAuley
COACH'S COMMENT: "Alexandra was second in the league in scoring last year. Our big girls inside will help out a lot. I like the way we're playing. We had a good summer. We have a good group. It's coming together. We'll see how we jell. The girls are ready to go. It should be really fun. I'm looking forward to it."
THE FORECASTER'S FORECAST: Cheverus has made nice strides in each of Ashley's first three seasons, winning more games each year, and now, might be primed to make a run at the top. After posting a winning record and making it to the Expo for the first time a year ago, the Stags return several key players and have three nice additions propelling them to the upper echelon of contenders. After finishing runner-up in both the Boston College and University of Southern Maine team camps over the summer, Cheverus is ready to make a run at the big prize this winter. The Stags will look to Palazzi-Leahy (18.7 ppg, 30 3-pointers made in 2009-10) to lead the offense. She was a first-team league all-star a year ago and had 12 points (including three 3s in a 67-34 win at Noble in the opener Friday night). Mayberry (a member of the league's All-Rookie team last winter) will run the show from the point. Flaherty (another All-Rookie team selection a year ago who had 10 points Friday) is a returning starter down low, where she'll look to team with Nappi to create havoc. Another threat inside is junior Morgan Cahill, who was a standout at Yarmouth the past two years. Sophomore Kylie Libby (11 points Friday), who transferred from Falmouth, will also see some key minutes and is diverse enough to play guard or forward. The third newcomer is senior Britni Mikulanecz, a defensive specialist (she made the SMAA All-Defensive team in 2009-10), who won a pair of state titles at Deering. She can also score (10 points in the opener) when needed. This group is well-coached and hungry. The only impediment the Stags face entering the year is a mental one. They've never beaten the two other top teams, Deering and McAuley, that they're vying with for the top spot. Cheverus has enough talent to hang with anyone. If they can knock off the Lions or Rams during the regular season, there might be no stopping the Stags. Get a front row seat for this crew. They'll be fun to watch and since they're still relatively young, could be laying the foundation for future glory as well.
COACH: Dan Lucas (second year)
2009-10 Record: 9-8-1 (no postseason)
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS: Josh Courtois (Senior), Nick Lops (Senior), Max Boucher (Junior)
PIVOTAL GAMES: Dec. 16 (H) GORHAM, Dec. 18 (H) CAPE ELIZABETH, Jan. 15 (H) YORK, Jan. 17 @ Portland, Jan. 22 @ Gorham, Jan. 29 (H) DEERING, Feb. 5 (H) SOUTH PORTLAND, Feb. 12 (H) FALMOUTH, Feb. 17 (H) SCARBOROUGH, Feb. 19 (H) PORTLAND, Feb. 21 @ Deering
COACH'S COMMENT: "We'll have a young team. Max, Nic and Josh will lead the team. Several teams have more talent and experience than we do, but we'll show up with a sense of urgency."
THE FORECASTER'S FORECAST: Cheverus has now missed the playoffs three years running, but the Stags got close last year as they posted their first winning record since 2005-06, the second of their back-to-back state title seasons. This year's group has a chance to be in the mix throughout, especially if it takes advantage of a favorable early schedule. The Stags face a plethora of talented, traditional rivals down the stretch, so they'll need to pile up wins earlier. The offense this year will be led by Lops. Courtois anchors the defensive unit in front of Boucher. There are several other players eager to make a name for themselves and they'll have plenty of opportunities to do so. Cheverus figures to be competitive from start to finish and if it gains early confidence and gets some bounces, it could make it back to the postseason.
COACH: J.P. Lavoie (fourth year)
2009-10 Record: 21-0 (Beat Lewiston, 3-0, to win state championship)
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS: Anna McDonough (Senior), Emily Sawchuck (Senior), Taylor Witham (Senior), Sarah LaQuerre (Junior), Katie Roy (Sophomore)
PIVOTAL GAMES: Dec. 30 (H) ST. DOM'S, Jan. 3 @ York, Jan. 8 @ Scarborough, Jan. 12 @ Greely, Jan. 17 @ Lewiston, Jan. 22 (H) YORK, Jan. 29 (H) FALMOUTH, Feb. 5 (H) WINSLOW
COACH'S COMMENT: "We;re rebuilding. We have a good returning group of players, but have quite a few holes to fill with new players. We feel we have a chance to make the playoffs with some hard work and a few lucky bounces."
THE FORECASTER'S FORECAST: Prior to a 3-1 setback to Scarborough Saturday, snapping a 24-game win streak, Cheverus hadn't lost a game since February, 2009. A year ago, the Stags were sensational, steamrolling all 21 foes en route to a first state title. Nine seniors graduated, including 2009-10 Winter Athlete of the Year, goalie Saundrine Lanouette, but anyone thinking Cheverus isn't still a team to be reckoned with will be disappointed and likely defeated in the weeks to come. The Stags won their first three outings, 5-3 over Portland, 6-0 against Biddeford and 4-0 over Gorham, proving that they can still produce plenty of offense and put the clamps on defensively and in goal. This year, the attack is anchored by Roy, who had three goals against the Bulldogs and two more against the Rams. While LaQuerre (a second-team regional all-star a year ago, who had three goals versus Biddeford and two against Gorham), McDonough and Sawchuck (Cheverus' Fall Female Athlete of the Year for her field hockey excellence and a second-team regional all-star in 2009-10) are listed as defenders, they'll do their share of damage as well. Deirdre Lambert and Julia Lambert have also made noise in the early going. The Stags have only given up a 1.5 goals per game as LaQuerre, McDonough and Sawchuck are equally adept on defense. Witham is ready to carry on the program's legacy in goal. While things have changed and Cheverus isn't the overwhelming favorite, there is still plenty of talent on the roster and hunger to succeed. The Stags will only get better and will be very, very dangerous by February, when they could enjoy another deep playoff run.
BOYS COACH: Steve Virgilio (first year)
GIRLS COACH: Valerie Guillet (11th year)
2009-10 Results:
(BOYS) 2nd @ Class A state meet
(GIRLS) 6th @ Class A state meet
(BOYS) Jack Terwilliger (Senior), Rapheal Tshamala (Senior), Joe Slattery (Junior), Jackson McMann (Sophomore)
(GIRLS) Alex Dion (Senior), Caroline Summa (Senior), Lizzie Gwilym (Junior), Katie Shapiro (Junior)
TOP FOES: Bonny Eagle, Deering, Scarborough, Thornton Academy
COACH VIRGILIO'S COMMENT: "We're young. Our preseason numbers are dominated by underclassmen, especially sophomores. Jack will anchor the team in the distance events and is the only returning state scorer from last season. There's a lot of excitement and desire to compete among the young guys. The team will push each other all season and look to improve. The sprinting and hurdling contingents hope to make an impact. The team may see some new guys contributing in different events."
COACH GUILLET'S COMMENT: "Having a team of only eight passionate girls is a bit disheartening because our chances of doing anything special at states as a team are pretty slim. I will focus on making each of the girls successful in their own unique way. For some, it means qualifying for states. For others, getting a little better than last year and for yet others, it means trying out new events. Whatever it is, we'll work toward accomplishing it."
THE FORECASTER'S FORECAST: Both Cheverus track teams have a standout returner and several other athletes looking to make a mark.
The boys have been runners-up each of the past two years, but lost a lot to graduation. This year, the Stags will give their all under a new coach. Virgilio graduated from Cheverus, attended Holy Cross and has spent time with the program in the past. This team will ride Terwilliger as far as he can take them. A year ago, Terwilliger (a league all-star) was part of a state champion two-mile relay team, placed third in the two-mile and sixth in the mile. He'll be one of the state's premier distance runners this winter. Tshamala will look to score in the sprints. McCann could be a force in the sprints and hurdles. Slattery will contend in the sprints and jumps. Freshman twins Isaac and Elijah Yeboah could become immediate household names in the sprints, hurdles and jumps. The Stags should remain one of the better teams in the SMAA, but beyond Terwilliger will struggle to score a lot of points at the big meets. Regardless, they'll produce a lot of excitement in the weeks to come.
On the girls' side, Cheverus hoped to better last year's best-to-date sixth-place showing, but with Fiona Hendry (runner-up in the mile last year) and Emily Durgin not competing, the Stags will settle for more modest goals. Summa is as talented as they come in the jumps and hurdles. She was a first-team all-star last winter after placing runner-up in the high jump and third in the long jump. She even scored in the 200 (seventh) at states. She won the high jump outdoors. Gwilym is a top distance threat and hopes to be heard from in February. Shapiro is the team's lead thrower. She was an all-star last year in the junior shot put. Dion hopes to qualify in the 400 and long jump. Freshman Kiera Murray is the top newcomer. She had a solid cross country running season and will look to make an impact in the distance races. The Stags will hope Summa can score her share of points at the big meets and the rest of the team should produce other highlights as the season progresses.
COACH: Kevin Haley (22nd year)
2009-10 Results:
(BOYS) 3rd @ Class A state meet
(GIRLS) 3rd @ Class A state meet
(BOYS) Stephen Ambrose (Senior), Pat Jerome (Senior), Lukas Temple (Junior), Michael Gordon (Sophomore), Connor Pothier (Sophomore)
(GIRLS) Katherine Moreshead (Senior), Maria Cianchette (Junior), Nicole Chambers (Sophomore), Tessa Lindsley (Sophomore), Sam Savaun (Sophomore)
TOP FOES: Cape Elizabeth, Greely, Windham
COACH'S COMMENT: "The boys lost a lot of talent to graduation and the transfer of Cal Rohde hurt. We're a young team with several new swimmers. Diving has improved greatly. The girls are very strong this year with great depth. We'll be very competitive again."
THE FORECASTER'S FORECAST: Both Cheverus swim teams are coming off strong campaigns and are looking to be in the hunt this winter.
The boys will miss standout Cal Rohde, who won the 200 and 500 free at last year's Class A state meet, then transferred. Ambrose (part of a seventh-place 200 free relay team) and Temple (a member of that relay squad as well as 15th in the 100 free) are the lone returning scorers from a year ago. This team has its share of sprinters in Ambrose, Jerome, Pothier and Temple. Gordon is the top diver. Freshman John Devine, who swims the 100 fly and 200 individual medley, will also be heard from. The Stags will get better as the season progresses and will be a factor in several events at the big meets.
On the girls' side, Lindsley and Savaun, league all-stars in 2009-10, are the top returners. Lindsley placed fifth in both the 50 free and the 100 backstroke a year ago. She'll also swim the IM. Savaun was fifth in the breaststroke and 10th in the 50 free at states. Moreshead is a top distance swimmer. She was ninth in the 500 free and 14th in the IM last winter. Chambers (10th in the IM and 13th in the 500 free) will also be heard from. Cianchette (ninth a year ago) is a threat on the diving board. Freshman Sarah Nappo looks to break through in the backstroke. This team has plenty of depth and promise and could be in the hunt for another top five finish when all is said and done.
COACH: Kim Pike (10th year)
2009-10 Results:
(BOYS) No score @ Class A state meet
(GIRLS) 6th @ Class A state meet
(BOYS) Ryan Hoffman (Junior), Spencer Reynolds (Junior)
(GIRLS) Katie Drake (Junior), Maddie Woods (Junior)
COACH'S COMMENT: "We don't have any kids who are serious and train on weekends, so it's a building year and we don't expect a lot."
THE FORECASTER'S FORECAST: The Alpine ski program has modest goals this winter. Pike returns as coach after a year away and is assisted by Mario Powell.
The boys are led by Hoffman (38th in the giant slalom a year ago at states) and Reynolds (44th in the slalom). They'll look to have a solid regular season and perhaps move up in the postseason.
On the girls' side, Drake is the top returner. She came in 27th a year ago in the GS. Woods also returns. The loss of slalom champion Maggie Corrigan and standout Emily Machesney will be difficult to overcome, but the team will shoot for strong performances throughout.
COACH: Ben McCrillis (second year)
2009-10 Results: 15th @ Class A state meet
TOP RETURNERS: Matt Aitenzia (Sophomore), Ian Lawson (Sophomore), Iain Whitis (Sophomore)
COACH'S COMMENT: "Our numbers are about the same as last year. We're looking to rebuild for dual meets and we look to be a very good tournament team. I believe Iain Whitis will be a state champion. We hope to have two or three kids qualify for states."
THE FORECASTER'S FORECAST: Cheverus' small program looks to move forward this winter behind Whitis, who was the consolation round champion of the 103-pound weight class a year ago. He's hoping to win it all this winter. Lawson (140) and Aitenzia (136) also return. Junior Helmar Smith will be competitive at 125-pounds. All three have a chance to join Whitis at states. The Stags will hold their own in several weight classes, look to make some noise in February and build for future success.
Junior Louie DiStasio is poised for a breakout season.
Senior Griffin Brady is another standout wearing purple and gold. He'll be difficult to stop.
Cheverus senior Peter Gwilym, fresh off leading the Stags to the Class A football title, hopes to win another title on the hardwood.
Junior Alexandra Pallazzi-Leahy is one of the top shooters in the SMAA.
Sophomore center Katie Roy and her Cheverus teammates are defending a state championship this winter.
Senior Emly Sawchuck brings her talents to the ice this winter.

True network marketing success lies in self-development. The more we help others achieve success, the more we benefit. Find out, 10 Ways Meditation Improves Your Network Marketing Business. I began meditating recently, along with blogging and yoga every day. I have already noticed some amazing things that can benefit not only anybody, but especially network marketing leaders. Network marketing is about helping others find success through Direct selling, either financially, mentally, or physically. It has been said that "network marketing is one big self-development course." You are responsible for leading others and creating a large organization where everyone is on the same page: inspired, motivated, and ready to expand their own businesses.
The best leaders are well-rounded, highly charismatic, and obsessed with success and seeing others succeed. They are selfless. They want to see you succeed before they do. The fastest way to become a leader is to overhaul what's inside of us, our rampant egos, our negative self-talk, and our lack of drive. How do we overhaul the inside? Meditation. There is no quicker way. . . Here's 10 Ways Meditation Improves Your Network Marketing Business:
1. Clarity
Having extra clarity from meditation allows you to map out your business in detail and understand what move you need to take next. This clarity only comes from the stillness that meditating brings. Some of the biggest Entrepreneurs in the world meditate first thing in the morning.
2. Focus
We need to become laser-focused on our business objectives. It's very hard these days to remain focused when we have social media, apps, and TV to look at and are constantly barraged with advertisements and messages from others. Meditation works on improving our focus by disregarding any thoughts that come to mind as we sit still.
3. Calm
Meditating promotes inner calm, which allows us to continue our daily hustle as home based business owners with less stress and anxiety. Meditation improves our control over external situations. We have a choice to give a situation or person power only if we react. Not reacting to situations leads to calm. There are situations in network marketing and in business that we cannot control, either someone quits our business, we get a rude prospect, or business isn't growing as fast as we want it to. Having a steady calm will prevent us from overreacting and potentially damaging our reputation or killing our business altogether.
4. Genius
Meditation has been scientifically proven to increase grey matter in our brains and create new neuro pathways. With meditating, thoughts from the subconscious flow easier to our awareness and we can tap into our innate genius and come up with new ideas for our business. Having trouble coming up with content for your MLM blog or video channel? Meditating allows thoughts to pour in unexpected ways and turn ordinary ideas into clever marketing tips.
5. Voice
After the first week of meditating, I noticed my words left my voice in a more fluid way and my writing became more efficient. My blog posts were getting bigger and better without using more effort. This was an interesting detail that I would have missed if I hadn't been more self-aware using meditation. As business leaders, we need to be in top form when articulating our concepts to our teams and we need to be smooth in delivery when talking to new prospects. We are the face of our industry. We need to represent it intelligently for others to be attracted as legitimate entrepreneurs.
6. Confidence
Doing what others won't do and practicing a discipline consistently is an achievement in itself, which breeds confidence. Meditating every day takes discipline. It is so easy to just turn on the TV or music instead. The longer we meditate the more breakthroughs we will have. Confidence is then a by-product of our achievements both with business and meditating. We will begin to look others in the eye with the solidity of a Zen warrior. The confidence you feel will translate into growing your network marketing business online and in person.
7. Freedom From Addictions
Cravings for sugar, sex, alcohol or any other potential addiction can be reduced or eliminated with meditating. For network marketing leaders to maintain their high, contagious excitement for life and the Industry in order to attract prospects requires a top notch diet free from addictions. Meditating allows us to become unchained from these illusory feel-good, but deadly habits.
8. Oneness
Meditation makes you feel grounded, rather than floating from one daydream to the next. You slowly sink back into who you really are without the distractions of life, which can be scary at first, but as time passes a child-like quality will emerge that will bring unconditional happiness. People will become more attracted to you and your business because happiness is the desired state for all of us.
9. Love
Ah, love. Who doesn't need more love? Loving yourself is the first step into finding ultimate happiness in life, in business, with family and friends. A life with love conquers all insecurities and darkness. A life of love is what we all seek in the end. By loving ourselves, we can love others. I felt insecure for so long because I didn't love myself. Meditation finally allowed me to love myself which is empowering and scary at the same time. It's time we face all our insecurities and truly be who we were meant to be. There is a bigger vision to be had in our businesses and that's to share the love we find within ourselves.
10. A Higher Power
Meditating allows us to get closer to the "source," whatever you believe that source to be. I realized how small I am in the comparison of God. God is as powerful as the ocean and as loud as thunder. He or she can erode mountains and sink villages and cure Cancer. God is who top athletes, celebrities and Entrepreneurs thank when they achieve something great. Meditation keeps us aligned with this source. Depression and anxiety slip away when you are supported by the source and through meditation. I will take this a step further. . . Meditation allows the God inside of us to come out and boost your network marketing business.
Mediate For More MLM Success
We are already divine and gifted and more powerful than we could possibly imagine. Think of the amazing things we have created in the last Century. The Internet would have been unimaginable just 50 years ago. Now, we are facing a time when we can create lifelike robots and computers that can download all human information in 10 minutes. All of this creation seemed to come out of thin air, but actually it came from some Genius minds tapped into the source. Meditation allows us to be god-like, and in the process increase your MLM income.

Wanted a LTE SIM card for Hong Kong so ran up to Aplui street. There's a few electronics stores here but it's pretty tame. Once a someone said their factory contacts always brought them from China to Hong Kong to buy components, once they experienced Huaqiangbei they felt duped.
If you're in Hong Kong on the way to Shenzhen and need a SIM, Aplui Street at Sham Shui Po stop is a good bet.
You'll see tables of SIM cards like this. All with a value like 98HKD marked down to like 45HKD ($6).
We've used One2Free for years now. It seems a good mix of speed and cost. After you buy the card you have yo send an SMS or make a call to activate it. That might be difficult if you don't know anyone, but the stand will usually help.
The package may or may not reveal that you can dial certainly codes to activate data bundles. My favorite is 300MB for 30days costing around 38HKD ($5). The codes I know are:
*101*833*2# 38HKD 300MB for 30days
*101*833*3# 88HKD 1GB for 30days
*101*832*3# 28HKD Unlimited for 1day
*101*832*4# 78HKD Unlimited for 1week
There is also an annoying interactive SMS menu available at #109# with all the current options.
