Standing Out in the World of Event Planning Management
Competition is found everywhere, in every industry, old or new. However, if you talk about "event planning" or "event management" it is one of the most trended domains of experts. It is an industry that caters the need of organizing events of any kind; let it be wedding, birthday, corporate sector events, so on and so forth. The question which[Read More…]

About Hospice Tails:
Told from the perspective of a hospice social worker, Hospice Tails is a baker's dozen of stories about the animal companions of hospice patients and their families.
In these pages you will meet King, an abused pit bull fiercely loyal to his rescuer, Fizzle, a teacup poodle who guarded his human in death as well as life, Io and Oi, two cats who facilitated a beautiful conversation between their owners, and Lightning, a horse who helped a widower find the strength to go on.
Uplifting, matter-of-fact, sometimes funny and never sappy, Hospice Tails will change the way you think about the animals in your life.
Only 24 Hours in a Day? Making Time for Writing
guest post by: Debra L. Stang
I'm afraid I have to start this post with some bad news. There is no way to increase the number of hours in your day. Much as we might wish for a 26-hour day, or even a 46-hour day, we are stuck with 24 hours.
Now for the good news: Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, Jonathan Kellerman, and Margaret George are stuck with the same 24 hours, and look what they've managed to do with their time!
If you're having trouble carving out time to write, you're not alone. Almost every writer who ever lived has struggled to make time for his or her craft.
You'll notice, by the way, that I said make time, not find time. You're unlikely to stumble across a cache of extra minutes. If you want to write, you'll need to schedule time and then fight for that time as fiercely as a mother bear fights for her cubs.
When I was writing Hospice Tails, for instance, I wrote in the evenings after I got home from my day job as a hospice social worker. I tried to explain to my friends that I actually was working during this time, but they kept calling, and I finally took the phone off the hook during my writing sessions.
I've developed a few other secrets that have helped me make the time to develop my writing career.
Schedule your writing times to coincide with your peak creativity. If you're a morning person, get up half an hour earlier to write; if you're an evening person, stay up half an hour later to write.
Commit to writing during your scheduled time whether you're in the mood or not. Train yourself to sit down for the scheduled amount of time and write or type, even if all you are typing is, "This is stupid. I can't think of anything to say."
Don't be afraid to write badly. I've been at this for ten years, and my first drafts of anything still stink up my apartment, though not as badly as they used to. Writing is like a muscle, and the more you work it, the stronger it will get.
A short block of writing time is better than none at all. If you only have ten minutes a day to write during a morning commute, so be it. Even if you only write half a page a day, within two years you'll have a 365-page book.
Find a writing buddy. It's much easier to stick to your writing goals if you know you're accountable to a friend. A writing buddy is also a great person to turn to when you're feeling hopelessly stuck.
If you've tried all these steps and you still find that you can't make the time to write, check in with yourself about your motives. Do you really want to write, or are you doing it because you feel that you should or because you think you'd be letting someone down if you don't? If you find that you really don't enjoy the writing process, there's no shame in that. Put writing aside for now, and move on to an activity that you really do enjoy.
If, however, you do enjoy writing and are still committed to making the time to do it, grab your calendar right now and block out ten minutes a day for the rest of the week. Just ten minutes. You can do it, and it will be productive time.
When are you going to schedule the time to write?
About our Guest Author: Debra L. Stang
In addition to her parents and two sister, Debra's family includes four cats. The current crew includes a grouchy nine-year-old named Achilles; and orange tabby and alpha male named, appropriately enough, Alexander; and a black and white long-haired cat with attitude named Leroux. Then there's the foster cat named Pumpkin. Of course, it all started with a three-month-old brown-and-gray tabby named Calypso who had strong feelings about most people. And not warm fuzzy feelings. Calypso even had the dubious honor of being banned by not one, but two vets.
When not caring for cats or writing, Debra spent many years as a social worker. She worked with AIDS patients, emergency room patients, and those with Alzheimer's. Her final years as a social worker were spent with hospice patients. Although some would view that as a depressing job, Debra chose to view herself as a catalyst helping people make their final hopes and dreams come true. Sometimes it was making up with a family member after a decades long feud or leaving behind the stress of the office to reconnect with another aspect of their personality.
Debra took a clue from her patients and recently decided her writing–for years a part-time career–couldn't wait any longer. Worried she would become one of those people who would one day say, "I wish I had…" she handed in her resignation and is now living her dream as a full-time writer.

Blaming Schools for Lack of Good Jobs
Poverty is the cause of lousy schools, not the other way around.
Poverty is the cause of lousy schools, not the other way around.
Rather than tinker with the admissions process to achieve a stipulated diversity goal in elite high schools, the answer is to improve the quality of the schools that blacks and Hispanics attend prior to applying.
The decision in Vergara v. California is a giant step toward busting teachers' unions and privatizing schools.
By identifying students most at risk when they begin school, we start them on a track of positive achievement.
Student portfolios are prone to subjective evaluation but so are movies.
It is impossible for teachers to put on a command performance repeatedly each day for days on end.
Only in the U.S. is differentiation anathema in education.
Ethics are caught, rather than taught.
How do we know who the good teachers are?
While training and education sometimes overlap, there is a distinct difference between the two that is lost in the debate over the worth of a college degree.

Perfect for a cold office!
I bought this not having much hope it would be what I was looking for. I've bought and returned many different styles of ponchos and pashminas over the years because they just weren't quite what I was looking for. Turns out, I just needed a blanket scarf with arm holes. Perfect to toss around my neck to keep me but also easy to drape around me when there's a draft but not have it fall off my shoulders because I'm writing or gesturing wildly. Definitely a keeper!

New York: Tracking melting glaciers, deforestation or disappearing elephants has been made easier as Google has now allowed access to real time, updated satellite images through its Skybox programme. 'The fresh satellite imagery will be contributed to projects that save lives, protect the environment, promote education, and positively impact humanity,' Google said in a blog post. From camps for displaced people in Sudan to beaches cleared of landmines in Sri Lanka, the released images are also available to the public for free. As long as they attribute Google and do not profit from the images, anyone is free to view and use the images available. NGOs can also request for new and updated images that they would like on the programme page. Skybox, a satellite company, was acquired for $500 million by Google in August this year.

My co-worker James and his wife were nice enough to have me in their home so that I could get some experience shooting family portraits with their son and newborn.

Jackson Hole Environmental Health Trust Film Series
The Secret History of Environmental Pollution in the 20th Century: Progress and Problems
Teton County Public Library free admission
Environmental Health Trust launches its inaugural eight-part Environmental Health Film Series in Jackson Hole, Wyoming showcasing award-winning documentaries about how the environment shapes the quality and quantity of our lives from birth onward. The Series features stories of environmental disasters and pollution – from the London smog to cell phones to lead in Flint's water supply – and includes original archival footage of what went wrong, what happened and what we do now. Each film will be followed by a short discussion with expert scientists and some of the original filmmakers. Showings will take place at Teton County Public Library (Most at at 6:00-7:30 pm) and will be free admission.
Read the Jackson Hole News and Guide News article on the film series "Films show how the environment kills" By Tom Hallberg Jan 10, 2018
Download the full page PDF with details on each film.
"Many of these films owe their origins to dramatic events of the last century, however, since that time, tremendous progress has been made on many fronts. Thanks to modern efforts to control emissions from transportation and stationary sources, people are no longer dropping dead from air pollution. But other problems are emerging that few people realize," stated Devra Davis MPH, PhD, President of Environmental Health Trust (a local Jackson Hole nonprofit).
The Killer Smogs of Donora and London, January 10 6 pm
The Series kicks off on January 10th with a film that includes witness accounts of the killer smogs of Donora (1958) and London (1952). In London, more than 12,000 people died as a result of a sustained air pollution episode that triggered environmental awareness around the world. Davis wrote the National Book Award finalist book When Smoke Ran Like Water about the Donora smog- an incident credited with triggering the movement that lead to the Clean Air Act of 1970.
Stink Why Are Toxic Chemicals Hiding in America, January 30 6 pm
The second featured documentary film is STINK: Why Are Toxic Chemicals Hiding in America – an entertaining story about a single father who becomes interested in what chemicals are in his children's products after his wife passed away from breast cancer. He stumbles on an even bigger issue in America, that some products on our store shelves have never been tested for their impacts on human health or the environment. Join us on January 30th at 6:00 pm.
The Killer Smogs of Donora (1958) and London (1952)
January 10th at 6 pm
- Three award-winning documentary films describing the killer smogs of Donora (1958) and London (1952). Pennsylvania's Killer Smog tells the story of a freak weather event that caused the worst air pollution disaster in US history, gripping the small, industrial town of Donora in its clutches for 5 long days in 1948. By the time the smog lifted 20 townspeople were dead. Four years later a similar event occurred in London, England that killed thousands. The double tragedy radically altered the way we interact with our environment. The documentary brings the tragic events to life and reveals the science behind them through interviews with experts and survivors, gripping archive footage, lively science demonstrations and dramatic reconstruction. A discussion of current problems, policies and solutions will follow.

Exposure – Environmental Links to Breast Cancer, February 18, 4:30 pm
Our First February film Exposure – Environmental Links to Breast Cancer, produced and directed by award-winning Canadian filmmaker Francine Zukerman, won first prize for science documentary in the New York Film Festival and explores how toxins and radiation in the environment are affecting our health. The film is hosted by singer, actor and breast cancer survivor Olivia Newton-John and will feature a discussion with one of New York's top breast cancer specialists, New York University Professor of Medicine, Deborah Axelrod MD, FACS, and other local experts.
Other films to be scheduled include:
Public Television Series NOVA investigates what happened in Flint, Michigan when local officials changed the city's water source to save money but overlooked a critical treatment process resulting in extensive and avoidable lead poisoning. NOVA uncovers the disturbing truth that reaches far beyond Flint: How can we protect ourselves from contaminated water?
An eye-opening 2017 documentary reveals that wireless technology poses serious health risks – from infertility to cancer – and suggests practical ways to reduce your exposure and protect your family while living in the modern world.
This documentary follows the intimate journey of Chinese migrant worker Yi Yeting, a benzene-poisoned victim-turned-activist fighting work-induced leukemia, who takes on the global electronics industry in a fight against dangerous workplace conditions. It raises the important question of our own moral responsibility to ensure that products we rely on are produced in a safe manner.
A documentary that looks at how the manufacturing of doubt has become a big business. The film exposes pundits-for-hire who present themselves as scientific authorities as they speak about topics like toxic chemicals, pharmaceuticals and climate change. Harvard Professor Naomi Oreskes, on whose work the film is based, is invited to lead a discussion about the use of scientists as merchants of doubt.
This film follows a courageous group of firefighters, mothers, journalists and scientists, politicians and activists as they fight to expose a shadowy campaign that persuaded legislators that toxic flame retardants were critically needed. In fact, there is no evidence that chemical flame retardants prevented a single fire death and growing evidence of their toxic legacy in our homes and bodies. The campaign to require the widespread use of these unnecessary toxic chemicals has taken nearly 40 years to unravel. Invited discussants include acclaimed scientist-activist and mountaineer Arlene Blum PhD, Founder of the Green Science Policy Institute.

With more people in need of loans the need for unbiased rate comparison increases and Which Way To Pay Canada Launches to provide it for Canadians.
London, United Kingdom - October 14, 2013 /MarketersMedia/ --
Statistics from the financial sector indicate the number of payday loan requests has increased 109 percent in the past 2 years alone, with these figures expected to continue along this trend during the foreseeable future. Due to this upsurge in demand for such services, numerous lenders are appearing to cater to those in need; however, this convenience comes at a price to consumers.
Unavoidable need and sparse regulations among the payday lending industry have paved the way for exorbitant fees and interest rates, often creating more hardships for those acquiring such loans than were present before. In an effort to help reduce the burden on those seeking loans, Which Way To Pay Canada has launched their website dedicated to providing comparisons on loan providers and other financial services, allowing consumers to easily find the most affordable options available.
Mark Maffia of Which Way To Pay Canada confirmed, "We see new payday lenders springing up constantly. The way these payday loans, sometimes called cash advances, work is consumers borrow between $100 and $1,000 dollars. They are required to pay the entire amount they borrow, plus interest, back at the time of their next payday. Of course, if the client is unable to pay back the loan at the agreed upon time, extensions are granted, extra fees are added and interest continues to add up."
Though fees and interest rates tend to be much higher with this type of loan, the public still gravitates toward them for a number of reasons. Payday lenders typically do not require credit checks whereas banks and credit unions do. Traditional lenders are inconvenient to those in need of quick cash because approval may take several days; cash advances are often available within 24 hours. Those with low credit scores in dire need of cash have few options and no means of quickly comparing rates among lenders. Maffia stated, "This is one of the reasons we created our website. All the information our viewers need is compiled in one convenient, easy to understand location."
"Those who are looking for other options may want to consider a sub-prime loan," continued Maffia, "Given the current state of the economy and the fact that so many have experienced financial difficulties, an increasing number of specialist lenders are providing loans for people with bad credit. These lenders offer varying terms and conditions, but consumers can borrow amounts ranging from $80 to thousands of dollars. Our website displays a number of bad credit lenders, the amounts they are willing to lend, interest rates, terms and other relevant information."
About Which Way To Pay Canada:
Which Way To Pay Canada offers independent and unbiased reviews, comparisons, information and general advice articles on a wide range of financial products. Through their website, the public can compare currency exchange brokerages, money transfer firms, payment cards, loans, insurance, credit reference agencies and much more.

Hi! I'm Bart. Welcome to my blog, Tales of Mel.
The name for this blog came from the inspiration of Melchizedek in the Bible who the writer of Hebrews says has no beginning nor ending of days. Most people agree that this Melchizedek was the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ who met Abraham back in the book of Genesis.
I'm a born again Christian, and I've been writing since I was a teenager. Christianity is a genre that I like to explore with my writing whether it's fiction, non-fiction, or poetry. It's my personal opinion that a lot of Christian literature and film is watered down and fails to show the Person and work of Christ in the reality of evil we live in today. Nevertheless, God is still worthy to receive the glory. And it's for that reason I've launched this blog.

A family from Claygate will begin a three day walk today to raise funds to fight MND
The Jaggers are raising money to fund more research into Motor Neurone Disease.
MND is a progressive disease involving degeneration of the motor neurons and wasting of the muscles.
James and Jazz are leading the 35 mile walk along Somerset's Coleridge Way after their mum was diagnosed with the disease.
Father of one James, says most people will have heard about MND through the ice bucket challenge or Stephen Hawking, but there's so much we don't know, and that's why research is vital.

Study Finds Melted Steel Beams Did Not Cause WTC Building 7 Collapse
The 127-page paper produced damning evidence that challenges the "jet fuel CAN melt steel beams" narrative.
GABRIEL KEANE September 10, 2019
The Institute of Northern Engineering, which is the research arm of the University of Alaska Fairbanks' College of Engineering and Mines, spent nearly four years compiling data for the study starting in September 2015.
The project summary on the UAF website outlined three main objectives for the report:
(1) Examine the structural response of WTC 7 to fire loads that may have occurred on September 11, 2001; (2) Rule out scenarios that could not have caused the observed collapse; and (3) Identify types of failures and their locations that may have caused the total collapse to occur as observed.
The research team produced a simulation that replicated the structural fire loading conditions of WTC7 on September 11, 2001, supplemented by data from the National Institute of Science and Technology's collapse initiation hypothesis.
The researchers concluded that "fire did not cause the collapse of WTC 7 on 9/11, contrary to the conclusions of NIST and private engineering firms that studied the collapse," adding "the secondary conclusion of our study is that the collapse of WTC 7 was a global failure involving the near-simultaneous failure of every column in the building."

Connect at LakePoint
Countless ways to connect to new friends, mentors and groups. Together, we are better. Together, we are stronger. Together, we achieve more.
New To LakePoint
It's not easy visiting a new place where you don't know anyone, but you're only a visitor once at LakePoint! The New Here Team is always stationed by the front doors to help you in any way. They will greet you and offer a friendly wave. Anyone who stops by the New Here table receives a free gift as our way of saying thank you for visiting. Additionally, there are New Here Luncheons scheduled throughout the year. These fun events provide new friends the opportunity to meet our amazing pastors and leadership team and to learn more about LakePoint.
Small Groups
Life is not meant to be lived alone. In fact, God created us to not be lonely or alone! You were created to experience life with other people, and that's why we encourage you to join a small group at LakePoint. A small group is comprised of three or more people who gather each week in a home, workplace or at the church. Together, you'll hang out, study the Word and pray. Groups come in all shapes and sizes – married couples, singles, men, women, kids, no kids, workplace, under 20, over 40 – the list goes on. No matter where you are in life, there's a group for you. Ready to dive-in? Find a group that fits you or start one of your own today!
Young Adults
LakePoint's Young Adults include students and young professionals from every walk of life. Our vision is to grow stronger in our relationship with God and to be more powerful, reflecting the power of the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives. Young Adults are active in helping with community events, worship nights and new adventures.
Golf League
LakePoint offers a summer golf league for those who enjoy playing golf, despite of how well they play. The league is open to both men and women, and the primary purpose of the league is for fellowship around the game of golf, not competition. The league is made up of all skill levels – from scratch players to weekend hackers – and all are welcome. The golf league ends the season in style with an 18-hole outing and banquet at no additional cost. At the banquet, prizes and awards for the season are presented, and the officers for the league (secretary and treasurer) are voted in. Currently, we play 9 holes of golf on Monday evenings at Boulder Pointe in Oxford with a 5:30pm shotgun start. Because everyone finishes around the same time, many grab a bite to eat at the snack bar and enjoy the great facility.

At Skintegrity Med Spa, we deliver far more than beautiful skin. We deliver confidence, increased self-esteem, and enhanced wellbeing. We use an array of the latest non-invasive cosmetic treatments to restore, rejuvenate, and create a refreshed, healthy glow. Most non-invasive cosmetic treatments work by creating a controlled injury that triggers a healing response. At Skintegrity MedSpa, we are experts in how to stimulate the healing response, with the help of the aesthetic industry's most advanced technology.
An extraordinary level of professionalism and training
Our team is made up of the most experienced and skilled providers, expertly trained and certified to deliver every treatment. You can rest assured, the Skintegrity Team is more than qualified to administer the services we offer. Skintegrity Medspa is located in the heart of downtown Kirkland, WA, just minutes away from Seattle and Bellevue.
Integrity & trust
The non-invasive cosmetic industry is incredibly exciting, ever-changing, and dynamic. The field is evolving rapidly, which will continue for the foreseeable future. Aesthetic technology developers are investing billions of dollars in non-invasive technology, driving the lightning-fast evolution of our specialty. The possibilities for non-surgical rejuvenation are changing every day.
If you are busy, as are most of us in this fast-paced world, it can be difficult to stay ahead of the curve. The Skintegrity Team knows the importance of building trust and providing excellent patient care to those wishing to achieve their aesthetic goals.
A philosophy of superior patient care.
Our philosophy when establishing Skintegrity MedSpa is to make patient care our top priority. Superior patient care can be rather technical and complicated at times, but our business model is simple: Deliver the best treatments and always do the right thing and everything else will fall into place. Our advice? Find a patient-oriented and trustworthy, results-driven practice, with expert facilitators of The Cosmetic Variable, and a philosophy that starts and ends, with Skintegrity.
What is the Cosmetic Variable?
Many non-invasive aesthetic services (with the exception of cosmetic injectables and laser hair removal) generate a healing response through some type of controlled injury. The healing response is what makes you look younger, but unfortunately, some people don't respond or heal as well as others. As every individual reacts differently, results can be inconsistent, the reason that results are never guaranteed in our industry.
We refer to the healing process as "The Cosmetic Variable." As everyone responds differently, we at Skintegrity stand behind the experience of our providers and the services we deliver.
What is the Skintegrity difference?
At Skintegrity, we understand The Cosmetic Variable and strive to achieve the best results possible for our patients. Our goal is to initiate or sustain a life-long relationship with everyone that comes through our door. Are we perfect or do we have a crystal ball? No. Then what makes us different? The Skintegrity Difference is a combination of things: Accountability, Ethics, Experience, Skill, and a promise to adhere to The Cosmetic Variable.
Why? Because we have Skintegrity...

Going a step further, Lucre also brings the security and capability of Blockchain to hardware, merging with technology made popular by FinTech, and brings that to casinos cages, table games, player bands, rings, and everything else tomorrow's IoT can deliver.

Using LCRX = Less risk. Less demand for cash. Less fraud. Fewer inconveniences. Simultaneously, larger market. More players per region. More revenue for merchants. Better customer service. Better advertising. And a cashless, trustless, pseudonymous economy and ecosystem that is, contrary to first impressions, stricter on AML/CTF guidelines, identity management, and unregulated gambling.

Tiffany Kary reports:
Twitter Inc. has to turn over information about an Occupy Wall Street protester's posts or face a fine, a judge ruled, giving the company three days to show it isn't in contempt of court.
New York State Supreme Court Judge Matthew A. Sciarrino Jr. in Manhattan today said Twitter must produce the information by Sept. 14 or provide its earnings statements from the last two quarters so he can decide on a fine.
Read more on Bloomberg News.
If you're like me, you may be wondering, "Whoa… didn't Twitter just file an appeal of the judge's ruling? Why isn't that being allowed to run its course? Ms Kary report that Twitter's request for a stay of the order while it appealed was denied September 7.
Of course, Twitter still hasn't answered the questions I put to it here and on Twitter as to how they justify arguing we own our content when they're selling to "certified partners," but even so, I'm troubled that the judge denied their stay.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

'I'm proud to be different': North Carolina teenager who was taunted by school bullies has embraced the hundreds of birthmarks that cover her entire body
A teenage girl who was taunted by school bullies has embraced the hundreds of birthmarks that cover her entire face and body.
Ciera Swaringen, 19, of Rockwell, North Carolina, was born with mole-like birthmarks that spread from her head to her toes.
Her rare skin condition affects just one in 500,000 people and covers more than two-thirds of her body – with the largest mark stretching from her lower thighs to her navel.
Since she was a child, the teenager has endured cruel taunts from strangers, but she has now grown to love her unique appearance.
'Teenage boys are usually the first ones to comment when they see me,' she said. 'They say things like, 'You look like you're dirty, take a wash.'
'But I'm so proud to be different and, at the end of the day, we all have something about us that's unusual, whether it's on the inside or the outside.
'Everyone is born to look different, and we're should all feel beautiful in our own skin.'

The current NBA landscape causes the moments leading up to free agency to feel like a soap opera – not just a run of the mill, General Hospital episode either. NBA Free Agency is a full blown novela complete with face slaps and screaming matches. The D-Day of sorts is July 1, but fans and talking sports heads, alike, begin the circus a full season before players scheduled to become free agents are really free agents, if not before then. The speculation, conversation and subsequent adulation – or irritation – is typically a yearlong rollercoaster that we are all taken on after each handshake with current teammates or cutaway of an impending free agent seemingly not vibing with their current coach.
Even within subpopulations, such as the old heads at the barbershop and the fringe sports fans that just join the conversations, there has been a split as to if this amount of player movemnt is how things should be. Keep in mind, we aren't far removed from the days where changing teams didn't exist. You were either drafted by a team or traded to one. The destiny of a player was set for them. When the idea of free agency was implemented in 1988, players had to have been in the league for seven years and have played through two contracts. With such stringent stipulations, player movement was still somewhat of a fantasy. However, the vehicle of unrestricted free agency was set into motion.
When Tom Chambers left the now defunct Supersonics in the dust for the sunny skies of Phoenix, there's no way NBA fans of that time would have predicted we would be here. "Here" is the land of one-year deals, and the best players in the world playing for multiple teams in hopes to win a ring. This recent method of free agency, recruiting stars in their primes and public elaborate pitches to form alleged superteams is one that started back with LeBron James' decision to join the Miami Heat back in 2010. You can revisit my article on the formation of superteams if you care to debate. That's not what this is about. Since LeBron made it not only ok but normal for stars to seek or formulate new situations, we have seen the flood gates open. We almost expect stars to switch teams at some point in their career. Hall of Famers, such as James, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade, are on their third franchises by choice.
Whether by forced trade or free agency, players seem to be happiest in conditions where they are with other stars that give them a chance to win. One could blame the Warriors all they want. Truth is, the Warriors started this dynasty with a core of drafted players and smart acquisitions. KD made them a nuclear power. KD was in a position in which he thought he couldn't crack the championship barrier, so he wanted to join up where he could, which is a fight that players in all major leagues have continued to fight for. Is it the easy route? The point is that the NBA is simply a reflection of the AAU culture.
Growing up in the 90s, we typically went to the school where we lived. We played with the best of the local kids during summer ball. Most of our runs during that time came in the form of 5-on-5 at a local gym. Nothing was too structured, and we didn't always have the option of waiting for our boys to get there to hoop. Sometimes, you just had to lace 'em up and ask who had next. Only the true elite got to go travel with a team out of the area or switch to a private school or local basketball powerhouse to play scholastic ball.
Contrarily, the majority of the players in this NBA spent their adolescent years in an iteration of AAU/Summer ball that saw them unite with the best players across a few states to form these dominant programs. Not only were their summer teams stocked with talent, but many of them went to high school powerhouses either in their area or even elsewhere to ensure they had the best chance of being exposed to college coaches. Kevin Durant even went to four different high schools. Is it surprising that he would actively seek the best situation in the pros?
Players of the talent level of guys in the NBA are recruited from the time they are 12 years old to play on specific teams. They are used to changing teams when either the coach is allegedly tripping or there is a shiny new object of a team that offers them an assumed better opportunity. This isn't anything new; it has just become the norm. Take a look at the top players in the country over the past 4-5 years. Two things will stand out: many of them are in the NBA now, and the overwhelming majority of them played on powerhouse teams that competed on one of the three main circuits (Nike EYBL, Adidas Gauntley, Under Armour circuit). You can also bet that most of those kids – and the majority of NBA players – did not play on their local high school teams. That is a true rarity these days.
Outside of the AAU teams, summer hoops also include invite-only camps where these guys get to know each other. They go from fierce competitors fighting for a spot on the rankings to homies discussing where they are going to band together in college. The top players in high school spend almost the entire summer together playing together, getting to know each other, and essentially setting their ideas of who they would like to play with in an ideal scenario. NBA free agency presents such a scenario.
What does all of this mean? It means the current state of free agency should really come as no surprise. Switching teams, recruiting teammates, joining superpowers, and seeking out the most beneficial situation has been a part of these dudes' entire athletic experience. The days of hating every opponent are in the past. These guys are friends. They have been a part of an elite fraternity since their youth. After collecting millions but struggling to win, many of the players just do what is customary for them: change teams. I'm not sure if this makes them less competitive creatures or creatures of habit. Powerhouses at the high school level are old hat. Just take a look at the Oak Hill roster over the years. Either way, the current NBA landscape was set well before many of these guys even made it to that final destination. I guarantee one thing: if you gave some of the older NBA vets truth serum and asked them would they move teams to play with respected opponents or better teammates, I bet they would answer with a resounding yes.

You will have wholeness in your life, you will stop the disease before it starts.
You live with colors that don't vibrate with your energy. Negative energy makes you feel bad for a reason.
Knowing your own color vibration is a huge step toward being happy. Yes, color is that important. Color is the most healing force on the planet.
Your own energy is made up of rainbow colors. Called Chakras. When you know what colors work for each of your chakras you can choose those colors. You chakras energy can be out of sink, muddy, not vibrant. That is because your belief system has an effect on that particular energy area in your body.
Tamar does intuitive clairvoyance to tune into your beliefs in each chakra. Her clients are amazed to discover what the negative belief is that is connected to the disease in that area of the body. And it's not some general belief written about in a book. Because when someone says they can interpret your unique physical energy through a guessing game they made up. Then you give your power away. You are individual complex energy. It's your belief system, that Tamar tunes into.
What will you benefit?

Climbing from Chile to Mexico while traveling in a van
While our trip in « La Pepa » (our van!) we've been trying to climb every now and then. Some times we go specially to some renown climbing spots and other times we just end up at an unknown spot. We are average climbers trying to have fun and preserve our climbing fitness while we travel. As our trip develops we will go updating more and more this post.
Climbing in Chile
As we were residing in Chile it wasn´t difficult to find some awesome climbing spots while we travel along this narrow country. Climbing has had a boom here since a couple of years, kind of from 2005 onwards. Topos can be found online, just need to search the specifi spot in google and add the word topos or you can go in to the following pages were you will find tons of information.
Where to climb
Some times we want to mix city touring and climbing, here the indoor gyms we went to.
- El Muro (Santiago): Lead/Boulder www.elmuro.cl best climbing gym in Chile, they have two locations one in Larrain … which is the newest and best equipped of the two, and another at Americo Vespucio which has everything you need as well.
- Zenit (Santiago): Boulder www.zenit.cl Great Boulder gym with new problems every month.
- Mall Sport (Santiago): Lead www.muromallsport.cl tallest indoor lead wall in Santiago, reaching up to 17m.
There are many great climbing spots all over Chile. Most of Chiles climbing spots can be found in the climbing away app and all TOPOS, locations and aproach march information can be found online either by searching them through google or directly at http://www.guiaescaladachile.com/. Here the list of the spots we know.
- North Region
- Socaire: World class route climbing.
- Totoralillo: Boulder climbing at the beach.
- South Region
- Chillan: Recently equiped route climbing sector.
- Center Region (In order of preference)
- Valle de los Condores: AMAZING! Climbing for all levels, plenty of places to camp, and a big parking ground, not far from the routes, where you can leave your camper. Wheater changes quickly and sometimes it gets windy at night, so plan accordingly.
- Petorca: Easy to camp, plenty of shade, climbing for all leveles, short aproach march (10 min descent).
- La Mina: Beutiful climbing spot with high top quality rock, climbing for all levels but mostly advanced to elite. It gets really cold during the night, but you can camp close by the routes. Medium aproach march, 20 min ascent.
- Las Chilcas: Great lead climbing spot, with climbing for all levels. The rock is conglomerate and climbing is fisical. Parking lot is right next to the highway, theres stories of cars getting broken in to, so don't leave anything insight.
- Palestra: Mostly adherence climbing. Rock quality is great, all granite. Climbing for all levels, low level routes are still quite challenging. Long aproach march, 45 min going uphill. You can camp right under the routes.
- Punta de Cortez: Climbing from 6a to 7b. Easy to camp ontpo of the routes or at the bottom of the hill if you are in a camper. Medium aproach march, 25 min going uphill.
- Los Manyos: Climbing from 5c to 7b, beutiful rock. Long aproach march, around 1hr going uphill.
- Chacabuco: Lead climbing next to Santiago. Easy to camp, climbing from 5c to 7b, medium aproach march (20 min ascent).
- Pangal: Climbing from 5c to 7a. Short aproach, 10 min. Need your own car to get here.
- North Region
Climbing in Argentina
We loved climbing in Argentina, there are many many great sectors and plenty with short aproach. At times we found it difficult to get the Topos.
- Salta Janujman Climbing gym: Small gym with plenty of friendly and knowledgeble climbers. Great to get good advice on where to climb and where to find the latest topos.
- Provincia de San Juan: Topos for the whole province can be found at XXXX.XX. Many climbing spots for all levels, we only got the chance to go to Valle Fertil which was great, we parked right infront of the sector called techitos. We had shade, a river where we could wash ourselfs, and great phisical routes just infront.
- North of Argentina: We visited two spots in the north, but there are many more. A lot of information about topos can be found at www.facebook.com/rokeros.ar at the images section. Also you can ask climbers in the same page for advice or topos. The places we checked out where
- Tafi del Valle, where we could't climb because of the rain, but the area and samall town are beautiful. There was climbing for all levels. We found the topos at wikiloc.
- TOPOS: https://es.wikiloc.com/rutas-escalada/vias-de-escalada-el-mollar-tafi-del-valle-17469678
- Cafayate, great slab climbing, very technical. The spot is 2km away from Cafayate and you can either camp right next to the routes or at Cafayate. The routes are behind the property of the Lera Family, who have set a camping area for climbers. Ask for Gustavo who can help you with the aproach to the further sectors, Disney Rock for example.
- Tafi del Valle, where we could't climb because of the rain, but the area and samall town are beautiful. There was climbing for all levels. We found the topos at wikiloc.
Climbing in Bolivia
Climbing is not that big in Bolivia, yet, but it has great potential. We only visited one spot and it was AMAZING.
- El Edén – Climbers Paradise: This sector is just amazing, the rock is volcanic and you can find all kinds of climbing. There's climbing for all levels, and the spot is really beautiful. There is a refuge where you can stay for free and make a donation at the end. The key to the door is under a tile next to it. If you need to enter with you car, you can ask for « La Llave de la tranca » to the locals that live next to the refuge. German Huanaco is part of the family who owns the property, he is really kind and helpfull. You can contact him through whatsapp at:+59173877064 to notice him of your visit.
Climbing in Perú
Perú has alot of potential and alot of developed climbing spots. We visited the following.
- Lima – PIRQA: 15 m high indoor walls in the best neighbourhood in Lima, Miraflores. After a session you can either go party or have a great dinner close by. There is climbing for all levels and both boulder and routes are great. Really clean, friendly staff and a parking lot right infront. Definitely worth a stop if in Lima.
- Pitumarca: Amazing volcanic asphalt rock with climbing for all levels. There is 100+ routes ranging from vertical to overhanging. The spot has been developed by the fellows of cuscos climbing gym 7a who have done a great job. The altitude is 4200m, so get prepared. The road to the spot is a 7km kind of narrow dirt road that starts from Pitumarca, we strugled a bit on our Peugeot Boxer 2WD but we made it all the way up.
- Hatun Machay: La Meca of climbers in Perú and one of the best spots in South America. The sector was discoverd and developed in its begginigs by an Argentinian climber and entrepeneur who equiped most of the routes and developed clambing in the area. At the same time, he built a high quility refuge and made money through renting rooms and serving food. Unfortunately as the years passed there was friction between him and the locals and things ended up badly, for some time the sector was closed and now that it has reopened the refuge is detroyed and some routes are missing the first bolts. Non the less Hatun Machay has recoverd with the help of local climbers and its more than 300 routes are all waiting to be sent.
The altitude is 4300m and the weather is rainy during the summer (Dic-Feb), but you can still climb in the mornings as it rains in the afternoons. The road is mostly asphalted and the last 5km are well mantained kind of flat dirt road, no problems for 2WD when is not raining while you drive this last part.
- TOPOS: The ones that are online are not as complete as the ones of the fisical topo guide book. http://toposperu.com/2015/12/21/hatun-machay/
Climbing in Ecuador
Climbing in Ecuador is quite developed, there are many gyms in the main cities and rock climbing spots are well equiped and signaled.
- Cuenca
- C3 climbing gym: Great affordable gym with both boulder and routes. https://www.facebook.com/CuencaClimbingCenterC3/
- Quito
- Campo 4: The biggest indoor boulder gym in Quito. Its spacy and has many problems with change everyweek. The day pass is 7USD. [PAGINA WEB PENDIENTE]
Rock climbing is great in Ecuador. We visited two of the main spots but there are many more. Our recomendation is to watch the videos ofLatitud Cero Climbing on youtube that give you a great overview of all the rock climbing spots in Ecuador.
- Paute: Awesome sport climbing 1hr away from Cuenca. There is climbing for all levels and you can either park your van or pitch your tent at the bottom of the routes (30min walk up) at a secluded even area next to a creek.
- TOPOS: They can be found online at monodedo or you can swing by C3 climbing gym in Cuenca before heading here and check out the topos.
- San Juan: In our opinion one of the best spots we have visited, even worth it if you do not climb. There is climbing for all levels and preferences. The camping area, in case you sleep in your tent, is at the bottom of the routes, and surrounded by rock, a waterfall and a natural water source (small creek). And if you are not into camping, there is a refuge where you can stay and sleep in a bed and they cook for you as-well, of course this option is more expensive.
- TOPOS: They can be found online at monodedo. http://monodedoecuador.com/topos-sanjuan-monodedo-adventures/
Climbing in Colombia
Climbing was amazing in Colombia, is well developed and there is many hard routes and strong climbers.
We didn't have the time to visit any indoor gym while in Colombia, but we saw there was many good looking gyms in Medellin and Bogota.
Colombia has some really really great climbing parks, and the only privately owned one that we have ever visited.
- Machetá: Hard overhanging routes, thats the summary of this place. Its really close to Bogota, 1,5hr drive, theres hostels/refuges where you can stay, aproach is a 25min walk uphill on a decently signaled path, routes are hard and mostly overhanging and they range from 6c to 8c.
- TOPOS: not online but can be bought at refugio paraiso de la roca that is just at the bottom of the routes, before the approach. You can look for el refugio in gmaps before hand.
- La Mojarra: What a paradise. This privately owned place cosists on more than 200 routes of different levels (5b to 8c) and types. The rock is magnific and the hostels, just minutes away from the routes, are outstanding. When entering the park for the first time you have to pass a quick empirical test to show you know what you are doing, if this is not the case for you (just getting started), someone else has to sign taking responsability for you, and pass the test of course. If you are staying at Refugio la roca day passes are included, other whise you have to pay 3USD for each day of climbing.
- TOPOS: can be found at the entrance of the park, where you can take pictures of them.
Climbing in Mexico
Mexico is world known for its great climbing spots. While we were here we got the chance to visit a few of them.
- Arcotete (San Cristobal de las Casas): As if San Cristobal wasn't amazing enough, with its yoga studios, great affordable food, beautiful markets and cold weather (yes we needed to escape from the warm weather of the sea level Mexico) it has great climbing just 20min away. Arcotete consists in an Arch with a river that goes through it and you have got great roof climbing. There is about 40 routes, some easy ones but mostly really physical one considering they are mostly overhanging and pass by the roof.
- TOPOS: You can find them online at: or ask the climber who equipped the area who's name is Martin through his facebook page.
- Potrero Chico: Amazing us expected. This amazing rock park, which Alex Honnold made world famous after free soloing the multi pitch Sendero Luminoso. For camping/parking you can either wild camp next to the crag, which isn't quite at all, or go indulge yourself at La Posada, which we recomend 110%.
- TOPOS: You can either rely on the free ones of mountain project, which have no pictures, or us the Rakkup app, which for just US 4 give you 2 month access to their great detailed topos. https://rakkup.com/guidebooks/el-potrero-chico-rock-climbing/

It's easy for one to feel lost in the capital city of Ghana, Accra especially if it is your first visit. Although a relatively quaint town, Accra is dotted with a number of tourist attractions and activities sure to keep your vacation entertaining. Find below some of the top places visitors to Accra Ghana head to and who knows? You might discover some hidden treasures and sights on the terrain.
Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park
Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park (KNMP) is a National Park in, Accra, Ghana named after Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the ''founding father'' of Ghana. This Park is located in the main commercial area in Accra on The High Street, a colonial legacy, where the Banks of Ghana are sited.
Major structures at the Park when the facility was commissioned include:
- The mausoleum is where the mortal remains of Dr. Nkrumah lie finally after 2 previous burials-first at Conakry, Guinea in Camayeen Mausoleum and for the 2nd time at Nkroful his hometown.
- A huge bronze statue (about 10.8 ft. in height) of Dr. Nkrumah erected on a pedestal and mounted at the same spot where a platform was raised for him to deliver his statement of independence by the eve of March 6, 1957.
- A personal museum on Dr. Nkrumah.
- Fountains, significant trees planted by distinguished, manicured lawns and Office buildings.
Bojo Beach
The Bojo White Sand Beach is situated next to the Densu delta Ramsar site and along the Atlantic Ocean, in its uniqueness and lovely blend of the Caribbean and Ghanaian cultural architecture keeps tourists and visitors pouring in droves.
How to get there:
To get to the beach while driving, take the Cape Coast road; drive on through Malam junction, the famous and historic Mac Cathy, pass Weija junction, then you start looking out for the old police barrier just ahead, on your left-hand side of the barrier is the Apalku or Kokrobite junction. When you get here, look out for the Bojo beach yellow signpost.
Come and get away from all the hassles of the city with a fun-filled round on the beautiful 18-hole mini-golf course, or stop by the Clubhouse for great food, desserts and a pleasant atmosphere.
Aburi Botanical Gardens
The Aburi Botanic Garden is one of the most beautiful, peaceful and fascinating places in Ghana. Opened in March 1890, covering 64.8 hectares and overlooking the Accra coastal plain from an elevation of 370 to 460 metres above sea level, the Aburi Botanic Garden is a must-visit experience for every Ghanaian as well as visitors to Ghana.
How to get there:
It is easy to go by public transport as mini buses or trotros can be boarded at Tema Station in Accra central, or at Odawna station near Kwame Nkrumah Circle, and also at Madina. Aburi is just 35 Km away from Accra and probably less than an hour drive.
Driving your own car, from Accra makes it even easier, you will have to go through Achimota, Dome, then through Kwabenya town, then drive straight through Brekuso village and within the next 10 minutes you find yourself at a T-junction, then you take the left turn and in 10 minutes you find yourself in the Aburi town where you cannot miss the entrance to the beautiful garden. Just look up and you will see the huge matured royal palm trees lined up along the street that seems to be welcoming you.
National Museum of Ghana
The National Museum of Ghana is in Accra. It is the largest and oldest of the six museums under the administration of the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board. The museum building was opened on 5 March 1957 as part of Ghana's independence celebrations. Objects of archaeology, ethnography as well as fine art find a place in the National Museum building.
Asides the afore mentioned sights, there are also several attractions which would keep you entertained in Ghana. Some of them include:
- W.E.B. Dubois Center
- Labadi Pleasure Beach
- Makola Market
- Cathedral Church of the Most Holy Trinity
- Coco Beach
- The National Theatre of Ghana
- Academy for African Music and Arts
