text: The Sexual Person: Toward a Renewed Catholic Anthropology By Todd A. Salzman, Michael G. Lawler No cover image The Sexual Person: Toward a Renewed Catholic Anthropology By Todd A. Salzman, Michael G. Lawler Read preview Synopsis Two principles capture the essence of the official Catholic position on the morality of sexuality: first, that any human genital act must occur within the framework of heterosexual marriage; second, each and every marriage act must remain open to the transmission of life. In this comprehensive overview of Catholicism and sexuality, theologians Todd A. Salzman and Michael G. Lawler examine and challenge these principles. Remaining firmly within the Catholic tradition, they contend that the church is being inconsistent in its teaching by adopting a dynamic, historically conscious anthropology and worldview on social ethics and the interpretation of scripture while adopting a static, classicist anthropology and worldview on sexual ethics. While some documents from Vatican II, like Gaudium et spes ("the marital act promotes self-giving by which spouses enrich each other"), gave hope for a renewed understanding of sexuality, the church has not carried out the full implications of this approach. In short, say Salzman and Lawler: emphasize relationships, not acts, and recognize Christianity's historically and culturally conditioned understanding of human sexuality. The Sexual Person draws historically, methodologically, and anthropologically from the best of Catholic tradition and provides a context for current theological debates between traditionalists and revisionists regarding marriage, cohabitation, homosexuality, reproductive technologies, and what it means to be human. This daring and potentially revolutionary book will be sure to provoke constructive dialogue among theologians, and between theologians and the Magisterium. Excerpt The authors of this book, Todd A. Salzman and Michael G. Lawler, write as Catholic theologians who both are married and are very familiar with the Catholic tradition. The book accepts the classical understanding of faith and reason, recognizing especially the importance of human reason in developing sexual marital morality. The authors ground their understanding of sexuality in a more personalistic and relational understanding of natural law theory. They enter into a dialogue almost exclusively with other Catholic authors who have been dealing with these issues. On the basis of their natural law theory, they propose a renewed Catholic anthropology that serves as the basis for their positions on marital morality dealing with contraception, cohabitation, and the process of marrying, homosexuality, and artificial reproductive technologies.There is no doubt, especially in light of extensive media coverage, that the pedophile scandal has been a traumatic experience for the Catholic Church in the United States. But another crisis that has received much less media attention might in the end have more lasting effects on the life of the Church. I refer to the fact that the vast majority of Roman Catholics do not follow the teaching of the hierarchical Magisterium of the Church with regard to aspects of marital morality. In this book Todd Salzman and Michael Lawler cite sociological statistics to show that 75 to 85 percent of Catholics approve of contraception for married couples despite the official teaching. Many Catholics also disagree with other aspects of Catholic sexual teaching with regard to marriage.This problem came to the fore with Pope Paul VI's 1968 encyclical Humanae vitae, which taught that each and every marriage act must remain open to the transmission of life. The pope grounded his teaching in the inseparable connection willed by God and unable to be broken by human beings of the two meanings of the conjugal act: the unitive and the procreative. Thus, every marital act must be open to procreation and be expressive of the loving union of husband and wife. As a result of this teaching, the hierarchical Magisterium has condemned artificial contraception for spouses, artificial reproductive technologies that do away with the conjugal act, and homosexual genital relationships.Pope Paul VI referred to the "lively debate" set off by his encyclical, but it has truly been a crisis, with many Catholics leaving the Church because of it and others . . .

Singer Aretha Louise Franklin was born in Memphis, Tennessee in 1942. The daughter of a Baptist Minister, she grew up singing and playing the piano in Church, and by the age of 18 had released her first single with Columbia Records. The record reached number 10 in the Billboard charts.
The release of 'Respect' in 1967 made Aretha a household name. This was followed by albums including 'I Never Loved a Man the Way I Loved You', 'Lady Soul' and 'Young, Gifted and Black'. Her music connected with listeners globally and across her career, she performed alongside artists such as Otis Reading, Elton John and the late George Michael.
Not only was Aretha Franklin a phenomenally talented musician, she fought hard for equal rights and was unafraid to involve herself in politics. During the 1960's, 'Respect' became an anthem for the civil rights movement, she sang 'Someday We'll All Be Free' for the film Malcolm X and she performed at Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993.
Her career spanned sixty years, during which she was nominated for 26 Grammy Awards, winning 18 of them, including the Legend Award in 1991 and the Lifetime Achievement Award in 1994. She released the bestselling gospel album of all time with 'Amazing Grace' in 1972, and was named the Queen of Soul. She became the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Her music will live with us forever and continue to touch our hearts and souls eternally.

Ants are part of our ecosystem. Some of them are helpful to us. But the rest of them increases our problems with what they do. Ants invasion becomes pathetic when you don't know how to get rid of ants outside permanently.
They come from outside and start damaging the environment in structurally and other ways. So, what will you do if ants surround your house?

First, you need to find the hideouts of ants. You can also find the types of ants at your yard, garden, lawn, etc. places depending on their behaviours, preferences in their diet, etc. As an example, you can find the carpenter ants on the trees of your garden. To eliminate the ants permanently, you can choose either pesticides or natural ingredients or homemade remedies.
Purchase all-natural or biodegradable formulated insect or ant killer spray (non-repellent) to spray on the ant nests. Take an ounce of pesticide and make a solution in a gallon of water. Then use the sprayer to spray on the ant colonies.
Do it twice in a week, and after that, there will be no ants anymore. The non-repellent spray keeps ants away from entering into the nest repeatedly. Use the garden hose to reach the toughest corners.
You can also choose granular pesticides as an alternative. Granular pesticides are poisonous, and they look like ants' desirable food. Put on gloves, some of these pesticides and spread them thoroughly on the soil, or the areas of your outside home.
Ants will come to take them as food and carry them to their nest. When they start consuming them, the poison won't let them spread anymore.Did You know? Bait traps is a good Idea to Kill ants! @hoofia Click To Tweet
Bait traps are also a satisfactory idea if you don't want to spray with your hands. Keep the traps near to the most infested places. Use the traps for a month if the number of ants is larger in number and then dispose of them.
There are lots of home remedies or natural solution to kill the ants outside of the home. Dish soap with water solution can clean the anthill well. Take regular dish soap in two tablespoons and mix it in a gallon of warm water.
Then apply the solution on the ant's hive with sprayer. Do it slowly and let the water come in touch with the ants. The warmth and the formula of dish soap will remove the ants. Even the solution you have used won't let ants go outside the anthill.

Boric acid is also effective in this issue. You can use liquid boric acid or powder and warm water solution to spray on the ant nests.
3 tablespoons of boric acid, a cup of sugar and 3 cups of warm water – this is how you should make a sweet mixture which will attract the ants. Use a spray bottle to spray on the areas.
Diatomaceous earth (DE) is popular for killing insects. Choose the horticultural one which won't harm plants. Sprinkle DE outside of your home properly. Also, sprinkle them on the trails of the ants, which will show you from where they are coming.
You can make a repellent spray with orange peels and vinegar. Take the same amount of water and vinegar and put 3-4 orange in the water. Warm up the solution of these three ingredients on the stove. Steer the solution and leave them as they are for a couple of hours. Pour the solution in a spray bottle after cooling it. Then shake it and spray on the ant nests.
Glue, baby powder, essential oils such as clove or citrus oils are also helpful for reducing the ants. However, all of the mentioned methods are just for getting rid of ants outside permanently.
Bugs are part of the environment. But some of them love to live near to human society. These bugs bite on the skin of humans and animals.
Their saliva flows through the blood of the host. Thus, humans mean we get diseases and other issues. So, preventing or killing these bugs are needed. The bug zapper is the device which helps in this case.
The bug zapper is an electronic device. It looks like a lamp which has a flashlight that emits visible and Ultraviolet ray. There is an electric field or grid surrounded by this light. More than 120 V electricity flows through the wire if the electrical field. The whole structure is caged by a plastic box.Did you know How Does Bug Zapper Work? Bug zapper use Ultraviolet ray to attract the bugs! Click To Tweet
Bugs such as ants, flies, mosquitos, etc. get attracted to the UV light. When they approach to the light, the high voltage current of electricity sends them facing death. The size of the bug zapper is small like the old lantern in the house.
Generally, the user needs to put it any corner of the room where the bugs are more in number. He needs to put in a place where there's less light. Because this zapper works best at night or under a shadowy place, when you want to use the bug zapper under sunlight or at daytime, you will see the device isn't working properly.
Bug zappers are popular as they help to reduce the annoying bugs. They can kill bugs, especially the biting insects and household bugs. Non-biting bugs are least attracted to a bug zapper. When the bugs get electrocuted, there will be a sound like "zzzzz" or "zap." That's why this device is called the bug zapper. They are available in different size and design.
Mosquito is the normal skin biting insect to us. They are tiny in size but stronger with their stings. Blood from domestic animal and human being is their favorite food.
You May Like it: https://hoofia.com/best-mosquito-zapper/
To feed on and regenerate, mosquitos must fly to the areas where they can find blood. The warmth or temperature, smell, the CO2 emitted from the human body is the reason for the insect to fly even it is far from their nest.
If you enter a forest, you will also have the bites of mosquitoes due to this reason. So, how far do mosquitoes travel from their nest?
Well. This tiny insect has strong wings which can lead it to fly at 1-1.5 mph. Depending on the speed, the distance they travel from their nest is a different range.
The Asian tiger mosquito travels 300 feet on average from their nests. The other types can travel in between 1-3 miles. Large pool breeders can travel up to 7 miles. The saltmarsh breeder flies more than 80 miles (20-40 miles at least).DID YOU KNOW? Mosquitoes Can travels 300 feet 80 miles From Their Nest!! Click To Tweet

As they are small, they can easily move to their destination. The distance of travel depends on how far their host resides. Generally, they try to stay closer to human society.
The answer is unpleasant to know. Bug zappers don't work well during the day!
The bug zapper is a helpful device having flashlight inside it which emits Ultraviolet ray. An electric grid or field surround this light. The bugs or insects get attracted to the UV light and try to stay as closely as possible. But the electrical field becomes the poison for them.Bug zappers don't work well during the day! @hoofiablog Click To Tweet
These small bugs get electrocuted while they touch the electrical wire of the grid. All these happen just because there is light coming from a source like a bulb.
When you are putting the bug zapper in your house, luckily, they will work when using them in the evening or the whole night because there's a lack of light in these times.
The light of the bug zapper becomes more attractive, surrounded by low light or darkness. So, the bugs come in large number onto the zapper in these times.

But in the daytime, this is quite tough for bug zappers to work well. The sunlight or daylight is brighter and more vivid than the small bug zapper light.
This competition among daylight and zapper's light is the reason why bug zappers don't work in the day. Because competitively less light can't attract the bugs. Even there's no chance to increase the light as the sunlight in any way.
Bug zapper will work in the day too. Yes, only if you put the bug zapper under a shadowy place. The environment will be quite similar to the night.
As bugs love to hide in a darker place and attracted to light, they will visit the shadowy place where you set your bug zapper. If you are on a journey and it is daytime, you need to put the device where sunlight is least than other areas.
Insecticides are the killing substances which eliminates different types of insects. When you, your family and pets or your plants are infested with bugs and insects, you need the help of insecticides.
You can use these insecticides directly, or making solutions, spraying them onto the insects or insect hides. These insecticides work specific ways. The result of insecticides can be visible at different time duration.
Systemic insecticides work inside the body of the plants. You put these in the soil, and the root of the plants absorb them and flows them to plants' leaves, stems, and other parts. The insects can't eat the plants and infect them.How Do Insecticides Work? @hoofiablog Click To Tweet
Contact insecticides work when they come in contact with mosquitoes, bedbugs, ants, etc. These types of insecticides contain metal molecules such as sulfur, arsenates, copper, etc. You can spray contact insecticides directly to see the action.
Ingested insecticides work a bit slowly. Mixing these with other substances or food items and keeping them on the trail of the target can make them effective. Using these insecticides, you can kill the rodents, rats, cockroaches, etc.
Fungicides work on removing the fungus, rust, mold from things. They dehydrate or dry the fungi or mildews. Then eliminate the target.
Ants do tell that the summer has come. Yes, when the moisture starts increasing at the end of the spring, their presence becomes perceptible.
Almost 12500 species of ants are identified. There are still unknown species of ants spread out the world. Ants can live and survive anywhere. But ants are good in number closed to the humans. They live in household areas, which becomes issues for the people.
Carpenter and fire ants are two most known ants. Carpenter ants harm people structurally by damaging the trees, buildings, furniture, etc. Fire ants sting when something or someone becomes obstruction against them. some stings can produce intense pain and itching to people too!
However, they live in a colony in groups and have the division of labor, communication method, and ability to fight against odds.Where do ants live? What do they eat? @hoofia Blog Click To Tweet
Ants have different types of diet, depending on their species.
Different ants love to have versatile foods on their meal. As an example, sweet ants love sugar, honey, and other sweet foods.
Did You Know? Salt can kill ants!
Grease ants have oily, fatty, and greasy items as food. Some ants eat the flesh of dead animals.
The leafcutter ants cut leaves to produce fungus. There are so many of them, and all of them have diversities like the examples mentioned.

The chemical compound used for killing pest is commonly known as pesticides. These compounds can be organic and non-organic. Depending on these compounds, the toxicity, performance of a pesticide is determined.
Non-organic pesticides contain a different type of chemical compounds. These are more effective than organic compounds but riskier to apply. Direct contact can bring different health issues to users.#Chemical Compound Used For Killing Pest. @hoofiablog Click To Tweet
Chlorinated hydrocarbons are popular synthetic pesticide compounds. DDT, BHC, lindane, dieldrin, chlorobenzilate, heptachlor, Methoxychlor, cyclodienes, etc. are some of the chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Parathion and malathion, diazinon, naled, methyl parathion, dichlorvos, etc. are organophosphates to create pesticides. Carbamyl, methomyl, carbofuran, etc. carbamates are rapidly detoxified.
However, the manufacturers are keeping themselves busy in using biodegradable, natural, and organic formula. Because the compounds of the pesticides can be harmful to us as well as the environment. Organic pesticides are made from plant oils, fatty acids from the animals.
During summer days, insects become proactive, and more cases are filed of insect bites. And often they leave their stringers in us. There are a number of insects that leave their stinger in our body after a crunching bite.

Usually, people get a bite from the Honeybees, Bumblebee, Wasps, Hornet, and Yellow Jackets. All these insects use their stinger to enter their venom in our body.What insect leaves its stinger in you? @Hoofia Click To Tweet
Interestingly, the only honeybee among these commonly biting insects leaves its stinger behind our body. It is often very uncomfortable as the left stinger of the honeybee continues pushing its venom into our blood through our veins. Generally speaking the honeybee only is aggressive when it feels threatened. An example would be if you were to touch a bee or go near it's sacred honey. Learn how eucalyptus honey is made.
The common indications of honeybees are a sensation on the skin and swelling. It usually takes around 30 minutes to one hour to stop the sensation caused by the honeybee leaving its stinger behind in you.

For mine, the Ford Sierra RS500 was the epitome of Touring Cars, both in Australia and in the UK. I was a particular fan of the Dick Johnson livery; however this is a very close second. I am not a smoker and I never have been, but I really appreciate the fact that Scalextric have been able to produce these cars with the tobacco sponsorship as they raced in the eighties and nineties. In today's nanny society it is good to see that common sense prevails and we can have a genuine replica like this. The detail like the writing on the tyres really adds to this and it is a genuinely quick car. I cannot wait to add the extensions to my track and try and wind this car right out. I am definitely on the hunt for the Shell sponsored DJR RS500, but this car looks so good. Well done Scalextric! ... Read more

Not a livery I was familiar with but I've enjoyed reading about this one. Sierra #5 for me and this one's wheels are excellent - a different design to the others and true to Tony Longhurst's 1988 Bathurst winning steed. A superb runner just like my other latest Sierras, this one will not disappoint. Interior detail improved like the Tim Harvey Labatts car - 'ape' sized hands replaced with scaled down mitts. Just the Andy Rouse Kaliber car to go now Scalextric which I eagerly anticipate!!! Right, off to pitch this baby against Dick Johnson's Shell Sierra and Jim Richard's JPS M3. #Bathurstwannabe

I purchased a used Lindig L-40 Shredder. Have been working on going over the whole machine the last few months, replacing bearings, hardfacing knives, fabricating worn out parts, and sandblasting and painting the entire machine. I was wondering if anyone else out the had a Lindig shredder with any lindig graphic still readable. If so, i need a decent, straight on picture of the logo in order to have a graphics kit made for the screener. Lindig is out of business so that route is out of the question. Hopefully sometime in the future i can post some pics.

Benefits of Blueberries for the Eyes
According to CNN, berries -- one of the highest food sources of antioxidants -- are one of the healthiest foods for your eyes. Blueberries, packed with nutritious vitamins and minerals, are of particular benefit in maintaining eye health. The nutritious elements of blueberries could help prevent many disorders that eventually lead to impaired vision or blindness. According to "Life Extension" magazine, blueberries may have benefits for the eyes beyond what is even known.
Vitamin C
Blueberries pack 14 milligrams of vitamin C per cup. Vitamin C is crucial in protecting the body from free radicals -- unstable molecules -- which damage the eyes and cause disease. According to the "Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine," vitamin C reduces intraocular pressure, decreasing the potential for developing glaucoma. Glaucoma, which refers to various eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, is the second most common cause of blindness in the U.S. Vitamin C also helps maintain connective tissue in the eye and may prevent macular degeneration.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is an antioxidant found in blueberries -- 80 International Units per cup of berries -- which also protects the eyes from damage caused by free radicals, and generally promotes eye health in a variety of ways. Vitamin A helps fight inflammation of the eye. Vitamin A can even be beneficial in the treatment of dry eyes.
Other Antioxidants
The vitamin E in blueberries may help stop the formation of cataracts, or clouding of the eye lens. Blueberries also contain anthocyanins, which are flavonoid pigments that act as antioxidants. In addition to promoting similar health benefits to other antioxidants for the eyes, anthocyanins maintain general eye health. Additionally, they may reduce inflammatory eye disease and even diabetic retinopathy, or damage to the eye due to living with diabetes.
One cup of blueberries contains 0.24 milligrams of zinc. Zinc, another important mineral for eye health, also helps protect against macular degeneration and night blindness, allowing better eye adjustment in dark conditions. Zinc also helps the body better absorb other vitamins, like vitamin A.

Today the town of Norrköping are hosts for the final stage. The municipal commissioner Lars Stjernkvist makes today's speech.
– Today I'm not standing here only as a delegate for Norrköping. I'm also a new orienteer who are about to get out in the forest for the final stage, says Lars in his speech.
Lars has run all stages of this year's O-Ringen and he has experienced the event as a runner, and there is one thing that's very special with O-Ringen. The community.
– I want to thank everyone who has spread the community and spirit of orienteering to the people of Norrköping.

Bugatti is to moving on to bigger and better things! After it's conquered success with the Veyron, Galibier, the latest concept sedan that was formed last year is going to be rereleasing the whip, however, with a new name. Reports are saying that when the car debuts in exclusive showrooms it will be revived as the classic Royale nameplate.
The Royale was designed in the height of lavish design, pumping a 12.7-liter straight eight into a 21-foot limousine; even stronger than a Royce Phantom. Creator, Ettore Bugatti intended to promote the vehicle to the heads of state, but unfortunately when the Depression came about, sales drove down, only producing a total of six cars.
The Royale that celebrated its 80th birthday in back in '07, along with five of the six cars that existed, gathered up for the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK. Now if only the 800-horsepower, sixteen-cylinder Galibier would be in the works as the Royale sometime next year, it would mark the original's 85th anniversary for Bugatti. Any who, we'll just have to sit tight to find out what's next for Bugatti.

The Match met my two younger kids a few days ago. This felt both momentous (to me) and insignificant (to them), for what does it mean to meet yet another adult in their child-centric lives? They waved at him obligingly before running back to what they had been doing before. His child was also there, observing the situation coolly, engaging briefly with me on the topic of a recent trip to the beach (apparently I scored major points when I shared a video of an aggressive crab I met last summer). It felt strange and exhilarating to be out in public with our children nearby, even if only half of mine were present. We sat at a shaded picnic table while the kids played, his leg pressed firmly against mine, a discreet nod to the display of affection we were actively stifling.
My kids began to exhibit wildly obvious signs of tiredness after we'd been there for two hours, and I conceded to the strong pull of childhood naps. The Match and I parted ways in the parking lot, but as I was buckling children into carseats, I fantasized about The Match and me, sneaking in a goodbye kiss once the kids were secured in their seats. As I rounded the back of my car, I looked up to see The Match, walking assuredly toward me. I practically skipped to him, and we met, as imagined, in a sweet embrace and kiss, our first in a week, as he had been out of town on vacation.
I've been lately trying to decide how much to write about him here, which perhaps explains my lack of writing anything at all. He won't be reading it, but he has expressed more than once that he doesn't want to feature heavily in my blog. He prefers relative invisibility to the spotlight, opting instead for the position of the observer (my polar opposite in this regard).
I think the way I'll navigate this is by taking it one day at a time. I want to respect his privacy. I also want to maintain the integrity of my writing (ie no self-censorship). Let's see how this goes…

TORONTO - Nearly 10 years after Vince Carter departed Toronto, leaving enraged Raptors fans in his wake, they finally stood and applauded the superstar who helped put basketball on the map in Canada.
The Raptors honoured Carter with a video tribute as part of their 20th anniversary celebrations Wednesday, as his Memphis Grizzlies played in Toronto.
The 38-year-old was visibly moved, wiping away tears with his powder blue T-shirt. He touched a hand to his heart and repeatedly gave thumbs-up to the crowd.
Earlier in the day, the former Raptors superstar leaned against the scoring table after the morning shootaround, and talked about his fond memories of his seven years with the Raptors.
Each time he plays in Toronto, he makes a point of looking at the banner that commemorates the first Raptors game at the ACC.
"It's still special coming here, it's still fun. It's weird, they move this flag every time, I struggle finding it," he said, with a glance up to the arena's rafters. "But when I walk in here seeing 'February 20th, 1999.' That's the first thing I think of — when this building opened.
"I just remember getting the opportunity to make history. Making the first shot. You can't take that away."
Charles Oakley found Carter who finished with — no surprise — a dunk on that first shot.
Carter said during shootaround, he was cool with the tribute, which he found out about during a radio interview. His mother Michelle Carter was present for the video honouring her son, sitting in the stands of the ACC.
"It's something that's memorable to me, to see the video right here, in the building where it all happened. You can't beat that. It's one thing to sit at home watching with your friends or watch it on a computer, but right here? It's special."
Carter has been the object of fans' fury in virtually every return trip to Toronto, but there's been a shift in perception recently. Young Canadian stars such as Andrew Wiggins, Nik Stauskas, Anthony Bennett and Kelly Olynyk grew up during "Vinsanity," and have credited the former Raptors star with sparking their interest in the game.
Stauskas often talks about when, as a young boy attending a Raptors open practice, he was picked out of the crowd to play one-on-one with Carter. When Stauskas — now a rookie with the Sacramento Kings — drilled a three, Carter tackled the youngster to the court and gave him a noogie.
"He's done a lot not just for us as a team, but just for this country," former Raptors teammate Alvin Williams told reporters earlier this season. "You see the Canadian players now that are in the NBA (there are 13), and they're all a testament to him. That shows what he does, not only for the Raptors, but what he did for this whole country."
Carter couldn't have predicted the warm reception he would receive. He said he planned to enjoy the video, no matter what.
"It's just a special moment that you probably won't get it again. I'm going to enjoy it," Carter said.
Carter comes off the bench with Memphis, and was averaging 5.8 points a night heading into Wednesday. But Grizzlies coach David Joerger said he's thrilled to have the veteran, who signed with a three-year $12.2 million deal with Memphis in the off-season.
"We get along great, he's a professional, he's mature, he's always doing whatever he can to help the team win," Joerger said. "If he plays three minutes, he's helping guys on the bench, he's helping guys in the locker-room. He's been through it all, he's seen it all, and that was a great pickup for us, we're lucky to have him."
Carter is coming off ankle surgery in the off-season.
"He still looks a little gimpy sometimes but over the last couple of games he's looked a lot better physically. Whether the ball goes in for him or not, I know, and we all know, what he can do," Joerger said. "So once he's looking better physically, everybody is like 'Oooh, at some point this is going to be a big deal.'"
Carter said it wasn't easy leaving the Mavericks, where he played for three seasons. But he joined a Memphis team that boasted the best record (10-1) in the NBA heading into Wednesday's game against the East-leading Raptors.
"The good thing about it, coming to a team like this, they're an established team already, a very capable team, and it's just a great opportunity to me. They gave me a call one day, and said 'Hey, love to have you. . . for three years. Can't turn that down."
When asked if Memphis provides a chance to win an NBA championship as his career winds down, he said it's too early to tell.
"I don't want to do that to the team. It's no pressure," he said. "Nobody has talked about it prior to this run, and we still don't. Just go out there and play basketball and in due time, we'd like for everybody to say, 'We forgot about the Grizzlies over there,' and by that time, hopefully we're still holding onto first place.
"I think we're playing great basketball, everybody is playing for each other. . . I think we have a lot of experience in winning ugly games and in games where we haven't played well offensively but found a way."

Psychotherapy and Psychology
20 Nov '17
What is psychology?
Have you ever wondered?
Let's see if we can clarify a bit around psychology: Very briefly, psychology is the scientific study of how people behave, think and feel. The Oxford English dictionary refers to science as "intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment."
In scientific study we are building up a body of knowledge about our subject. If we apply this to psychology we are systematically using observations and experiments to build up knowledge on how people behave, think and feel. There are many areas in the field where this is applied, including areas such as memory, learning, relationships of various kinds, mental health, sport, business, reasoning, personality and so on.
Does this apply to the psychologist down the road? Yes. The psychologist down the road who practices psychology is informed by the science of psychology to do various assessments and apply various treatments.
We will, in the next few months, discuss these topics in more detail. We will visit some concepts in psychology as well as various approaches in the field.
2 Dec '17
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Most people who have contact with a psychologist will have contact with a psychologist who practices psychotherapy. These psychologists are scientists who use the science of psychology to assist people who are either in distress or who wish to develop in some or other way.
There are numerous different approaches to psychotherapy. It can be confusing and it is worth spending a bit of time discussing the main differences and commonalities between these different approaches.
Let's start with the one you have probably heard a lot from in the last while if you follow developments in the field at all. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT. (see full discussion here)
3 Dec '17
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - Beck approach
This is probably the most commonly used approach to CBT and has loads and loads of research support. Beck started developing it in the 1960s. In essence the approach links automatic thoughts and beliefs to symptoms. If your thoughts are irrational you will have problems in mood, anxiety and so on. (see full discussion here)
4 Dec '17
Behaviour in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
There is a lot of emphasis in CBT on thinking and it's possible to wonder whether behaviour comes into it at all. Behaviour plays an important role in CBT and the area we see it most closely is that of anxiety. Let's take some typical examples. Specific phobias is an area where we can easily see the role of behaviour and how CBT utilises behaviour change to achieve a change in symptoms. (see full discussion here)
13 Dec '17
Panic Disorder and
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Panic Disorder is common and one of the disorders that do very well with exposure.
You may wonder what the difference is between panic attacks and panic disorder. In panic attacks people have a period of intense fear with a number of possible symptoms, such as trembling, a feeling of choking or smothering, feeling hot or cold, tingling or pins and needles in hands and feet, chest pain, (see full discussion here)
12 Jan '18
Generalised Anxiety Disorder
For many people, the first time they probably heard the term, was with the trail of Oscar Pistorius who was said to suffer from Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD). GAD is however common and the chances are you will know someone who has the problem. People with GAD feel keyed up or on edge. They tend to worry and often complain that they can't switch off their thoughts. (see full discussion here)
29 Jan '18
Social Anxiety Disorder
(Social Phobia)
Have you ever been nervous about speaking to a large group of people? Many people relate to the feeling and indeed, public speaking is the most common problem people with social anxiety report. But we are not just talking a bit of nervousness at having to speak in front of others. Someone with Social Anxiety Disorder really fears it. (see full discussion here)
29 Jan '18
Separation Anxiety Disorder
When we hear the term Separation Anxiety Disorder we probably think of the four year old clutching her mother's skirts and refusing to go to pre-school. We often think it is something that will pass. However, we now know that Separation Anxiety Disorder is common and can continue into adulthood. (see the full discussion here)
20 Mar '18
Specific Phobias
Heard of claustrophobia, emetophobia, arachnophobia or anatidaephobia? And what about lepidopterophobia and paraskevidekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia? There are many long lists with even longer names describing all sorts of things people fear irrationally. These include fear of natural events such as storms or lightening or the dark. (see the full discussion here)
12 Apr '18
We all feel depressed, despondent, hopeless on occasion. This feeling can come and go and generally although we don't feel very good it doesn't really affect our lives very much. This is not what we are talking about when we refer to clinical depression. In clinical depression we are talking about an illness that affects the sufferer's whole body and their interaction with their world. (see the full discussion here)
8 Jul '18
Persistent Depressive Disorder
Ever thought you were born depressed?
You may have Persistent Depressive Disorder. A diagnosis of Persistent Depressive Disorder is made when someone has symptoms of depression that are always there. (see the full discussion here)

Some tragedies in life strike you like a bolt from the blue.
And others arrive in bite-sized portions a little at a time. Everyday takes something away from the rigor of life; calling for a doctor's appointment and another and another. Until it hits you one day that the diagnosis isn't good at all.
Timothy Mburu's slide into a health abyss was the gradual type. He wasn't worried at first then he was. Then his doctor was and finally he had to face the dispiriting news; he had been diagnosed with a severe bout of Tuberculosis -or TB, that had advanced to attack his spinal cord.
All along, Mburu, a University of Nairobi Bachelor of Science graduate from what he describes as a humble ground and who had made it through life by pulling his own bootstraps, was a vibrant mathematics and chemistry high school teacher.
"I got into teaching in 2003 and taught in both private and public schools," he said.
But in 2010, Timothy began to experience some difficulties and at times would collapse, much to the bewilderment of his doctors who couldn't pinpoint the cause of his condition.
This went on for over two years until late 2013 where things took a turn for the worse from weakness in the lower limbs to finally full paralysis from the waist down. He was now confined to a wheelchair with his chance of ever walking again deemed by doctors as "very slim". He was teaching in Laikipia County.
It was an acquaintance who knew of a similar case who referred him to Kijabe Mission Hospital.
"That's when they realised that I had TB that had attacked my spine. My spinal cord had been destroyed to a big extent and I need surgery to place an implant on my spine," he said. He thought his fate was sealed.
After the diagnosis, things at home changed. He became dependent, was deprived of his independence and was in a state of shock. He knew life came with its own set of adjustments but this one would test him to the core.
It did…and he passed the test. He is grateful for family relationships that had been broken before and that were repaired as he was healing; creating an environment for more wholesome healing. He says it was a huge burden for the family but friends also stepped in to support.
If there was one thing he had learned from his illness, life would be the ultimate teacher. The tables had turned and it was his turn to be the student.
"I was alone with my family. It was hectic. I used to earn but here I was relying on people. I had to borrow everything. Even close people can see you as a bother and even some family members who had been supporting me called it off. For my physical wellbeing, I was following doctor's orders to the letter," he said.
His legs had ceased to work but his mind had not. Quitters never win! That simple but moving realisation got him out of a slippery slope to self-pity.
He became more hands on with decision making in the home and together with a group of friends, began venturing into farming, among other business ventures.
"I felt like I had reclaimed my life," says Timothy." The support I received from friends and family at the time empowered me to get back on my feet, so to speak. I realized I could still live my life and make a positive impact on those around me. I was myself again."
Then came the glimmer of hope. During one of his physiotherapy sessions, his doctor noticed some response in his legs. The rest, followed according to script and within months, he went from wheelchair, to frame, crutches and finally the redemption of managing a few short distances without an aid.
When he felt strong enough to stand in front of a class and teach, Timothy got his groove back and was back in the classroom doing what he loved at a school near his home, which also added to his healing process.
While going through his therapy, he had joined an online support group for people with disabilities and in the process learned about the opportunities available at Safaricom.
He applied in October 2016 and though was not successful on his first try, was recalled for an interview in April 2017, underwent the training courses and will this month clock his sixth month as a Customer Care experience Executive in the company.
From a spirited and active Maths and Science teacher to being paralysed from the waist down, to getting back on his feet, he has surprised doubt with action.
"Before I got this job, I would blatantly be shut out of job opportunities because of my disability. To others, it didn't matter that I was qualified, they had already labelled me incapable. Safaricom uplifted me and granted me a great relief," says Timothy.
"With this job, I was given a chance to redeem myself. I now take full responsibility of educating my daughter and It's my greatest joy to do so," he adds.
The annual observance of the International Day of Disabled Persons earlier this week was under the theme Transformation Towards a Sustainable and Resilient Society for All. At Safaricom, there are currently, 92 employees with special needs which constitutes 1.7 per cent of the total work force. Our goal is to have 5 per cent employees living with disabilities by 2020.
In line with this year's theme, through a four pronged strategy, inclusivity and diversity among the employees will be assured, regardless of their situation and conditions. One of the strategies is language, whereby 380 employees across the country are trained in basic sign language in retail stores to ease communication.
Additionally, product innovation is also taking this into consideration with the launch of a world's first, a voice tech to help visually impaired persons access their M-PESA accounts.
"In life, you never know what the future holds, but at Safaricom, you know that they will not leave anyone behind when transforming lives," says Timothy.

MoMA and the Met Duel over "Canyon"
The Rauschenberg painting has been on MoMA's wish list for over 15 years. As part of a $41 million IRS settlement because of controversy over the painting's value, which features a stuffed bald eagle protected under two laws, it has found its home under the conditions that Ileana Sonnabend's name be added to the donors wall, and The Museum devote an entire show to not only the painting, but also Ms. Sonnabend. The family lawyer said, " What was important was that it would be more of a star at MoMA. It was [on loan] at the Met, and was not featured as a star."

The statistics from Flight International predicts that over the next two decades, 42,800 cargo and civilian aircraft will be delivered worldwide. This means that at least 86,599 new engines will be delivered in the global market by 2035, and the number of active engines will grow from the current 60,000 to about 100,000. With the number expected to jump from 28,500 to 61,000 by 2035, especially in the region of Asia Pacific, which is anticipated to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The "Made in China 2025" issued by the State Council clearly proposed to "establish an industrial system for the independent development of engines", and during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, China launched a major special project for aviation engines and gas turbines. Today, the Chinese aviation industry continues to exert its strength and is closing the gap with world-class engines. In the worldwide stage, the development and breakthrough of aircraft engine requires wide range of solutions and multi-disciplinary collaboration of suppliers, transnational discussion and the groundbreaking technology exploitation. There are still some technical difficulties that China is facing such as the titanium alloy or composite material of aircraft engine, the whole leaf disk manufacturing and repair technology, the manufacturing technology of single-crystal hollow turbine blade etc. Furthermore, there are some other technology will also be discussed and applied in the aviation engine design and manufacturing such as 3D Printing, Digital twin technology.

Handcrafted in Hong Kong
Chocolate is going through a craft revolution.
Craft chocolate is a celebration of the cacao bean and a process that calls for small batch high quality chocolate.
Handcrafted from bean to bar in Hong Kong, Conspiracy Chocolate is made for true chocolate lovers.
With the dedication and care that we put into every single one of our chocolate creations and the quality of ingredients we source, we bring an unforgettable and lasting experience to our customers.
Controlling the entire process from roasting to moulding allows us to play with the different notes in the cacao and create our own flavour profile.
Chocolate making is an art that requires patience, passion and perseverance. There is no perfect formula to making chocolate, the process evolves with each new bag of cacao beans.
Our Philosophy
We pride ourselves on delivering the best taste, quality and experience with our all chocolate creations. At Conspiracy Chocolate we believe in sharing sweet moments with the people we love and finding the right flavour for every occasion.
Sourcing and Ingredients
Our cacao beans come from a single farm the Dak Lak province in Vietnam, they are hand sorted, fermented and dried in natural sunlight. The farm we source from runs as a successful and growing business, they set their own prices and sell directly to us instead of going through a cooperative.
The tasting notes of the cacao are earthy, spicy and fruity, smooth and full-bodied with a long finish. Craft chocolate focuses on the cacao and adapts the production process to each bag of cacao. It is about letting the true nature of the cacao show, letting the natural aromas shine while retaining the natural health benefits found in cacao.
Conspiracy chocolate is 75% or higher and does not contain anything besides pure cacao and minimal amounts of organic raw cane sugar. Our chocolate is accidentally vegan.
We offer our community imaginative and harmonious combinations of flavours using high quality ingredients and transforming them slowly and mindfully. We use only natural flavouring such as nuts and spices to retain the health benefits, taste and texture of each individual ingredient. We do not believe in additives and we choose organic wherever possible.

Interested in stocking our bars? Contact us
We are a Swiss and Israeli couple who met in Hong Kong with a passion for creating food and discovering new combinations of flavours. Chocolate is an integral part of our romance, so naturally we started trying to make our own.
We began our journey by experimenting with a range of flavours based on our culinary curiosity, combining the Swiss traditional way of making chocolate with the spices and herbs commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine.
After a few months of learning and refining the process in our kitchen in Sai Ying Pun, Conspiracy Chocolate, a small-batch bean-to-bar craft chocolate company was born.
We believe in challenging the conventional. Conspiracy Chocolate is a tribe of daring souls on a sensory voyage.
Join the conspiracy!

In traditional Chinese culture, the Lantern Festival is celebrated on the final day of the New Year Celebration. This typically falls in February or early March, depending on the Gregorian calendar. If you've never attended this festival before, you really should consider doing so for all the reasons explained in detail below.
1- It Feels Magical
The American culture has always had an infatuation with Christmas lighting. In fact, each year many millions of citizens adorn their houses with these bright lights to bring a magical feel to the season. When it comes to a Chinese lantern festival, there are many bright lights which illuminate tons of silk, ceramic, and satin handcrafted lanterns. Seeing all the artistry alongside the lights allows for an unbelievable landscape that you'll never forget. Plus, you can enjoy the lovely fireworks that light up the night sky during the celebration.
2- You Can Make New Friends
Many lantern festivals start early and go through the night. You can expect to meet many new people while you're attending the event. Most will also include food, shopping, music, and other ancient Chinese traditions that will allow you to learn the culture in a hands-on fashion. Since most of the time during the show you'll be holding a lantern near other people, it's likely you'll get to chat and make some new connections while you take in the event.
3- You Can Celebrate Life
Chinese lanterns are sent off into the sky for many different reasons. Some are for a celebration of the new year while others are for remembering the lives of those who have gone before us. By releasing your own Chinese lantern, you can celebrate the memories of those who you have lost and be joyful for the life that you and your family currently have. It's really a surreal experience when you attach your own life to the floating lantern and let it send off into the night sky.
4- Learn More About the Chinese Culture
These events are great for helping you to expand your knowledge about Chinese culture. With many different shows, local artistry, and music, you can engage with those who have a wealth of wisdom about Chinese culture. This can be a great event to bring the kids and let them gain some cultural knowledge as well. You can take in the traditional dragon dance, walking stilts, and work on guessing the answers to the lantern riddles. If you can guess the right answer to a riddle, the owner of the lantern will give out a small price.
5- Get Out of Your Comfort Zone
The cultural experience that comes along with one of these events is something that will be likely new to a lot of people. You can enjoy being part of the many shows as the Chinese performers love pulling in audience members to join them in the celebration. Chinese lantern events are an active type of show that you don't experience with other types of viewing. You don't go to a theatre and sit down for it. Rather, you are active in more of a county fair like setting intertwined with Chinese culture. This is a great chance to step out of your comfort zone and participate in something truly beautiful.
6- Enjoy Traditional Chinese Cuisine
Since this is a Chinese cultural event, you can expect to have an array of Chinese cuisine to choose from. The most popular food item on the menu is the rice ball. These are known in Chinese culture as yuanxiao and tangyuan. They're filled with peanut butter, sesame paste, or bean paste depending on what type you would like to try. These dumpling balls can be found steamed, fried, or boiled depending on your preference.
While a lantern festival may not be something that you're used to, it can be a new event that you enjoy attending each and every year. The above are just six of the most common benefits that you can personally gain from going to one of these lighting events. We encourage you to try the experience for yourself as we're sure that you'll notate many more benefits that we didn't cover above.

Assessment Mission to the Republic of Kyrgyzstan
November 16, 2018
Representatives of Justice International (JI), Lawyers for Lawyers (L4L) and international legal expert Liudmila Ulyashyna of Human Rights House Foundation (HRHF) traveled to Kyrgyzstan to conduct an assessment mission on existing legal professional rights, protections and immunities of local lawyers and advocates. The project, entitled "Identifying Legal Barriers to Effective Legal Representation: Survey of Kyrgyz Advocates and Lawyers," seeks to also document the instances of pressure and intimidation experienced by lawyers in Kyrgyzstan as well as identify the reasons behind the failures to protect lawyers. The information collected is being used to develop a road map for best practices to address the infringement of lawyers' rights.
During the visit to Kyrgyzstan, the assessment team met with and interviewed a variety of lawyers and human rights defenders (HRDs), members of the civil society, representatives from local and international NGOs, the local Bar Association, the Advokatura, and many other relevant parties. The team conducted a confidential survey that was organized into seven categories: access to the legal profession; right to independent practice; professional immunity; disciplinary proceedings; access to clients; confidential communications with clients; and right to information. These categories are based on established international norms protecting professional rights and immunities of lawyers.
The team also conducted several events on raising public awareness of the importance of protecting the rights of lawyers. The summary of the report could be found here, and the final report can be found here.

Hope this post finds everyone healthy and isolated. Both of us are but like most others, a bit bored.
For long time readers you probably saw this picture above and are wondering what we are doing at Mike's Mom's lake house on Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia.
About 11:15 pm on April 9th, the fire alarm in our new (to us) condo building in Raleigh started going off. After checking to be sure there wasn't a fire in our unit we gathered outfront with all our neighbors. About 10 minutes later the fire department arrived. 10 minutes after that they came out asking who lives in #204. That's us! 😳
We go upstairs and find out that sometime after we left the unit, it got flooded.
Turns out that a pipe to the water heater in the unit above us burst, the heat from the hot water apparently caused the fire sprinkler in that unit to activate which drenched us and the unit below us.
We initially thought that our makeshift buckets and staying up until 3am had saved our new wood floors but by the time the Home Owner's Association's remediation contractor woke us the next morning at 7:30 am, the wood was already starting to buckle. The water had gotten below it into the subfloor. Additionally, the ceiling and walls were showing signs of water damage.
So we packed up and headed up to the lake while the contractor got to work. The video below was taken last week when we visited to meet with the electrician.
We decided since the ceilings were down we would spend some money we don't have and add some can lights. Doing this was on our long term list but wasn't going to happen for a while. We so wish the water had of damaged the master bath and/or kitchen. LOL
Heard today that the drywall is going back up so we are headed down tomorrow to see what progress is being made. We don't have a completion date yet as they don't have a delivery date for the replacement wood floor. Hoping we won't be up here at the lake too long but we recognize that we are so lucky to have a place to stay!
Stay healthy!

Immunotherapy drugs represent a promising new way to treat cancer, but researchers have been hesitant to apply the same principals to the treatment of autoimmune diseases, like type 1 diabetes, over concerns that it could exacerbate the condition. Now, researchers at the Cardiff University School of Medicine have found that an immunotherapy designed to treat diabetes was both safe and effective when tested in a small clinical trial.
In patients with type 1 diabetes, their insulin-producing pancreatic β-cells are attacked by the body's own immune cells, namely effector T-cells. Without the necessary secretion of insulin, patients must rely on insulin injections to control blood glucose levels.
It's estimated that up to 1.25 million people in the US have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and that number has been growing rapidly. Unlike type 2 diabetes, development of the autoimmune disease has not been linked with diet or lifestyle, and is believed to be controlled by genetic factors.
In their study, the Cardiff University researchers recruited 27 patients who were newly-diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and randomly assigned them to receive immunotherapy injections or a placebo. The results of the study were published in the journal, Science Translational Medicine.
While individuals given the placebo required escalating does of exogenous insulin over the follow-up period, the participants in the treatment arm did not. Along with this demonstrated efficacy, the researchers noted no toxic side effects of the immunotherapy.
The peptide-based immunotherapy contained proinsulin, an insulin precurser designed to activate regulatory T-cells (Tregs). These Tregs then prevent the effector T-cells from damaging the insulin-producing β-cells of the pancreas.
The study authors admit that larger studies will need to be performed in order to characterize the metabolic effects of this immunotherapy in patients with type 1 diabetes. They are, however, encouraged by the "favourable safety profile" and believe that their findings "suggests immunotherapy could be a viable option for treating type 1 diabetes."
"Immunotherapy using peptides has been successful for some patients with allergies, but has not yet been deployed in autoimmune diseases, which may involve greater safety risks," said a piece accompanying the journal article. "This small trial showed that treatment seemed to modify T-cell responses and did not interfere with residual β-cell function."

Table manners have become more relaxed in informal situations and, unfortunately, are often taken less seriously.
They are, however, an important indicator of general good manners. In any formal situation minor details can have a major effect so good table manners are an absolute must.
Good behaviour that seems natural and unforced can also give one confidence in public speaking and can contribute greatly to professional and private success. "Manners maketh man," as the saying goes.
Then like everywhere: the devil is in the detail.

SYNOPSIS: For years, marketers have struggled to quantify the value of the social efforts. And CFOs are asking for justification before agreeing to content boosting budgets.
While they believe in the power of social, organic reach has crashed. Content isn't being seen. Facebook has become a paid channel. And brand social teams are struggling to justify bigger budgets to overcome these issues. But CFOs are no longer happy with soft metrics like Likes and Retweets, and are demanding justification for content boosting budgets.
Running a high-performing brand social department requires a new look at process, tools and measurement – an approach that provides financial impact metrics that justify costs. Former Mediabrands' Chief Social Officer Eric Weaver will show real-world examples of what is happening to brand social efforts, discuss practical approaches to process, and examine new tools that show the fiscal impact of being a social brand. Attendees will walk away with new approaches and tools to quantify the worth of your social teams, compare content efficacy, and provide the CFO with a fiscal value of your work. This valuation model is increasingly being used across the globe – and provides a means of measuring social performance in hard currency.
PRESENTATION LENGTH: :30 or :60
AUDIENCE: COOs, CFOs, CMOs, VPs and Directors of Marketing, Analytics professionals
PREVIOUSLY SEEN AT: Performance Marketing Summit Europe (Berlin, 2015), Discovery III (London, 2015), Chief Digital Officer Forum (London 2014), GetSocial (Dublin, 2014), eBev (Atlanta, 2014), executive workshops in Milan, Italy and Madrid, Spain.

Want to design a career that fit your interests, no matter how unique? What about a business around things you're passionate about, even if those are divergent as Dungeons & Dragons and drag queens? Yes, even drag queens. Is it possible to choose your own adventure and make a living—at the intersection of what you love?
A quirky gay geek is doing just that. Matt Baume 'makes stuff for the internet' based on his interests in gaming, literature, movies, music and the LGBTQ community. As a writer, Baume's work appears regularly in publications such as Rolling Stone, Vice Magazine and NPR. He's also the host of two popular podcasts, Queens of Adventure and The Sewers of Paris. Baume has spoken at such notable events as South by Southwest, Gaymer X and The Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Journalists Association, among many others, and he is the author of Defining Marriage: Voices from a Forty-Year Labor of Love.
Baume joined us on the Queer Money™ podcast to share his interest in identifying unexpected connections among disparate groups of people. He shed light on why the LGBTQ community gravitates toward arts and entertainment and offers insight on the current state of queer culture. Baume discusses his take on marriage equality, the challenges of our community moving forward, and the value of 'adding stripes to the rainbow.' If you're unaware, black and brown are the newest colors being added. Baume also gives advice on getting our message to the geographically isolated and learn how to make a living doing what you love.
Learn how Matt Baume built his business on this Queer Money™:
Build what you love
Whether it's broadcasting drag queens playing Dungeons and Dragons, telling the stories of how entertainment has affected queer people or writing for publications such as The Advocate, Baume says his whole business is predicated on "making stuff for the internet." Baume says, "The thing that is very rewarding for me, and the thing that my audience seems to really enjoy, is unexpected connections between people." It just so happens that between all these disparate activities Baume also makes a living.
Baume admits, "Being fulfilled is great, but you've also gotta put food on the table." Meaning, as much as he'd love to shed light on everyone, he must find stories that pique the interest of enough people to make some money. Baume says, "It's not just chasing the dream of doing the work, it's also performing the due diligence of making sure the work can support you."
Baume suggests that if you want to earn a living at what you love, you need to do a few things for free to build a platform. Most cannot do this without other income. Thus, use a springboard, such as an existing income, from which to launch your dreams. This is great advice for all the Millennial and Gen Z readers who are desperate to leave their jobs and run after their passions with wanton abandon. Baume built his writing career by first writing for free and then for a fee. As this income stream grew, he decided when and could he go at it alone.
Know why you're building it
Baume says that much of what he does connects communities that many see as different. Baume believes this is a critical time for LGBTQ people to not just engage our self-interests. Baume says, "People who are facing similar barriers to participation in society need the support of those of us who have acquired recognition," which is a call to action for many in the heteronormative and cis gay and lesbian communities to remember the allies.
Baume calls out the oppression of several different communities. For example, Baume addresses transgender people who choose to volunteer to serve in the military, the defunding of HIV and AIDS programs that help not just the LGBTQ communities, but many minority communities in the U.S. and Africa. Baume is also angered at the many states that are choosing to leave desperate children in need of loving families to languish in the foster care system instead of allowing them to be adopted into LGBTQ families that will lovingly raise these children.
Know how you'll bring people along for the ride
Especially when it comes to issues facing the LGBTQ community, Baume cautions that there's a long road of progress ahead of us. He continues, "It's just recognizing that life is a journey and not everybody is ready to meet you where you're at. Sometimes what you have to do is say,
"Okay, this is where I am right now, and I'd like you to come meet me here eventually. I get it if you're not quite there yet."
This points to how Baume has created a business around issues that are important to him. Baume acknowledges that not everyone is at the same place, but that doesn't mean that sharing information and creating a knowledge-base or even plain entertainment can't inspire progress.
Baume is pursuing his passion. If this passion translates into dollars that help him continue his work, then that's reason enough to continue. He concludes that sometimes you just have to try and see if it works. Baume and his partner gambled with Queens of Adventure and it worked. It's time to take your shot and see if it sticks.

text: The Cambodian government has provided some 37,538 hectares of land concessions for agro-industrial crops and trees to seven companies via agreements signed last week, an official at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries said Monday. Hong Narith, chief of cabinet at the ministry, said the government was pleased with the move, which involves both local and foreign companies. The land concessions are spread across six provinces, with four of the seven agreements slated for growing rubber, Cambodia's second-most lucrative crop after rice. The government provided 124,000 hectares of land to 19 companies in concessions last year. Of the more than 1.3 million hectares granted between 1993 and 2009, only about 957,000 hectares remain under valid contracts. The rest have been officially cancelled, according to the ministry. soeun say
