Women – why are we always last?
We are wives, mothers, career women, sisters, daughters, aunties, cousins, friends and we usually always put ourselves last.
Here at Body & Face Co in Pelican Waters, Caloundra, we hear the same thing from almost every woman that comes in to see us for a facial or body treatment, I never treat myself, I never have time, the kids come first, I work too much, I am too busy to take care of myself, the list goes on and on. Sound familiar? Read on..
So, it got me thinking WHY is it we as women, feel the need to do SO much for everyone else and leave ourselves exhausted, growing old and feeling like we don't deserve to "treat" ourselves.
Why is it we see having a facial or body treatment as a treat? Why can we not allow ourselves to see it as something we need to be happier, more confident & necessary for our mental health to relax and be pampered for a few hours a month?
We have massive roles in our lifetime to play, as women we feel like it is usually up to us to do the majority of the heavy lifting in life.
Even with supportive husbands & partners inevitably we do the bulk of the "looking after everyone else" role and we come somewhere down the bottom of the list, call it nurturing, being a control freak (yes I know there are many of us) or maybe your just "expected" to do the lions share because you are a woman? (I feel sorry for you if this is your reality)
I know I will always try to educate my girls on believing that a relationship is a 50/50 thing, just because you are a woman does not mean you are responsible for 100% of the cooking, cleaning, raising the children, washing the dog and ironing all the clothes.
I feel as a parent it is our responsibly to teach our children about equality – both boys and girls doing their share in the relationship.
I teach my 2 girls to stand on their own two feet, to be strong independent women, to say what they want in life, to believe they are worthy of time to themselves to grow in all facets of life.
To feel like an equal in a relationship no matter what the income status is. Women do so much unpaid work that would be equal to, if not above their partner's income if we worked it out on an hourly basis, yet so many women feel guilty for spending money, seeing it as their husband's money.
Remember this, your husband/partner could not go to work and do what he does without you being there to take kids to & from school, after school sports, play dates, school plays, weekend sports, without you – it would be impossible.
So WHY do we do it?
Why do we leave ourselves at the bottom with no time to give back to ourselves, to nurture ourselves, to do something that makes us happy and relaxed?
Some of us just can't say no, some of us need to be in control of everything, some of us are OCD and cannot allow our husbands to fold the towels "that way!" some of us simply don't have the support to help us out, to all the single mums trying to work full time while doing everything else on your own, YOU are amazing and I raise my glass to you and all that you achieve each and every day!
Ask yourself WHY YOU do it?
Is it possible to maybe take a little time back for yourself?
One hour a week? 20 minutes a day? God forbid – a whole day off!? (I know right – you're kidding yourself I hear you say) But really – if you knew it would not only make you a little happier but you would actually BE a better mum, wife, boss etc, would you do it then?
Well girlfriend – DO IT!
Put aside all of the guilt , stop telling yourself you have no time, you do – you just need to make yourself a priority once and awhile.
We can all find a slice of time if we knew it would make us happier, healthier, relaxed and to have our souls nourished again.
YOU DESERVE IT, what if your days were limited, what if you knew you only had limited time left on this earth, would it make you think differently?
Would you finally not care if the towels were folded wrong, or even if they were folded at all? Would it matter?
No.. what matters is YOU, your happiness, your mental health, your body, your face – YOU MATTER.
So find that 20 minutes a day, that hour a week or that day off (whoo hoo girl time!) Women are the glue that hold the family together – for you to be strong, happy & healthy for your family you must invest some time in YOU..
Go for it girl, your amazing!!
Love Kylie xoxo

Pollution reaches "unbearable" level to humanity: UN official
UNITED NATIONS-- Pollution has reached a level that is unbearable to humanity, and one of the important solutions to current emergency is to invest in renewable energy, said UN Environment Program Deputy Executive Director Ibrahim Thiaw.
In a recent interview with Xinhua, Thiaw said pollution is a multi-dimensional issue that has an impact on public health and also affects the economy.
Thiaw earlier cited World Health Organization statistics as saying that 7 million premature deaths annually linked to air pollution, adding that trillions of dollars are also being lost every year due to pollution.
Moreover, he noted that pollution may cause trans-boundary issues because pollutants generated in one country may affect another country or region far away through rivers and lakes, forest fires or air.
The most effective solution to curb pollution, according to Thiaw, is to find out the sources and reduce them, which is a complex process and in need of joint efforts from all walks of life -- governments, the private sector and the civil society.
Among the efforts, Thiaw said investing in renewable energy is a feasible approach to tackle, for instance, air pollution and this industry has proven to be profitable. "The price is going down and the technology is accessible."
Thiaw said the UN environment agency believes that by using new technology and renewable energy, a country can provide energy to its communities without further polluting the environment.
"A good example is China where hundreds of billions of dollars are being invested every year on renewable energy," he noted.
To reduce the air pollution in China, Thiaw said the Chinese government is investing quite massively to reduce the number of coal-fired energy systems and is promoting clean transport systems with electric vehicles and motorbikes.
He said though the measures need to be further enhanced, "the right policies are already being put in place" and "we are very confident that the leadership in China is fully aware of the situation and will be addressing it in the future".
Noting that the air pollution, known as smog, has also been observed in other parts of the world, like in France and in India, Thiaw said it is critical to establish mechanisms for countries to share experiences on how to reduce pollution through effective measures.
He mentioned that the UN Environment Program is organizing the UN Environment Assembly, to be held in December this year in Nairobi with the theme, "Pollution".
He said the conference itself is a wonderful opportunity for dialogues and he expects representatives of governments, as well as the private sector to join the discussion to help the world adopt a new way of life so as to reduce pollution.
As for current international cooperation, Thiaw noted the Paris Agreement, the deal reached by the international community to combat climate change.
While stressing that the links between climate change and pollution are evident, he said with the Paris Agreement, governments will make decisions to cut greenhouse gas emissions, and that will contribute to reducing the air pollution nowadays.

It's warmed up this week and on Saturday I went to collect some really well-rotted horse poo from a farm owned by the dad of a friend of a friend, (with said friend). It was nice being out in the countryside, with skylarks and yellowhammers singing (the first yellowhammer I've heard for a while, with its 'little bit of bread and no cheeeeese' characteristic song).
I don't have a car anymore so we went in my friend's and filled up 10 bags (5 each). We dropped off hers first (she has an allotment on a different site to me) and then went to drop off mine. It had been a lovely morning so far but all went awry when we realised the housing estate next to the allotments was cordoned off by police and there were police cars and ambulances blocking the area, including the allotments. My friend did a skilful turn around in the narrow road and we instead dropped the bags off in my front garden (where they still sit). A police helicopter was overhead for quite a while too. I found out later that there had been a serious incident. I won't go into detail but this kind of thing is fortunately unusual in Norwich and they caught the person responsible that afternoon.
So I'll have to take the horse poo bags down to the plot one by one on my little trolley, which can take a surprising amount of weight. I'll also keep one of the bags at home and use it on my tomatoes. There's still a huge muck heap left so we'll probably go back another time. I'll use this lot for the potatoes and the next lot for squashes.
I had a few hours on the plot yesterday and got carried away doing none of the things on my list. I did move my leaf mould pile nearer to the edge of my plot so that it's less in the way, as and when I clear that part. My two robin friends came to say hello and when my back was turned, they decided to get active - I'd put a small stack of pots on their side, on top of a bag of leaf mould that I'm going to use soon. Over the next half hour they started filling it up with leaves! Ok, so whilst this was really sweet, it was a terrible place for a nest, completely open and at the mercy of the local cats. So I moved it a couple of feet away, wedging it into the low branches of my buddliea, facing away from the prevailing wind, and cut a load of brambles and stuck them all around it as some protection. The robins were a bit confused and one kept going back to the place the pot had been but they were also hopping around where I'd moved it to so I hope they realise what had happened. I don't know how long it might take for them to lay eggs but I'll have a very careful peep next time I'm down.
In other naturey news, I saw my first butterfly of the year (a small tortoiseshell) and also sadly the remains of a dead fox in the undergrowth at the end of my plot. I hope it died of natural causes. I left it untouched as other beasties will make use of it and I'm not doing anything with that space this year.
It started to rain and I realised I hadn't picked any harvests yet so I did a quick whip round - the parsnips had started shooting again(after losing their leaves over winter). This means they start to get woody, so I dug them all up. This included two huge specimens! A nice surprise. Here's one of them, that got roasted with some potatoes.
My potatoes in storage have started to shoot so Friday night I made a big pan of mashed potato and mixed it up with some fried onion and garlic and froze in portions. I still have a huge bag of potatoes though, so this week I really need to get mashing!
So a bit of a wierd weekend and sorry for rambling on!
Linking in with Harvest Monday on Daphne's Dandelions

For 2016 action-adventure field was dominated mostly by the debate about the two most popular Indiana Jones-like characters: Lara Croft and Nathan Drake. Uncharted received its satisfying end to the franchise in May 2016 by giving Nathan something more important than treasure hunting and a reason to settle down. While The Rise of the Tomb Raider firstly came out in November 2015 for Xbox, it was released two more times in 2016 for PC (January) and PS4(October). As a sequel its end gave more question than answers about Lara's father and it confirmed the intention of Crystal Dynamics for a third game. However, the rivalry between our two favorite characters will move to the big screen as a new Tomb Raider movie is set to come out in 2018 with Alicia Vikander and Uncharted's movie director Shawn Levy disclosed shooting can start in 2017. I am sure fans of both franchises have waited for too long to see Lara Croft back on the big screen and Nathan Drake's ruggedly handsome attitude will charm away most of her adventure fans with his humor.
As a story setting the two games offer historical environments engulfed in mystery and eventually solved and unveiled its secrets. In the adventure genre the story follows the somewhat popular formula where the main character is looking for a forgotten place which usually has either a sort of artefact or treasure causing rivalry people and even friends to slaughter each other. The main protagonist through hardships perseveres and brings balance by eliminating the threat which is either a villain or the knowledge of the place/artefact that would draw other power-hungry villains in place. In Rise of the Tomb Raider the developers chose to burden Lara with more questions about the nature of her father and bringing into play a rogue organization Trinity which is not only interested in divine artefacts but also in Lara's family tree and her life. Uncharted 4 also uses some conspiracy theories not about an artefact giving immortality but in typical Indiana Jones style the hunt for treasure. Nathan Drake has no choice but to help his brother find Libertalia – a utopian pirate island which had been hiding's place for pirates' society and a vault for their gold, gems and valuables. Lara Croft uses her connections to go to Syria and Siberia in a matter of a week to find the lost city of Kitezh which sunk under a lake during the invasion of the Mongols in 12th century. Both characters are faced with betrayal and not that great losses in order to bring order in the chaos of battle for power. While Nathan lightens up the mood in the game with his constant jokes and playing videogames with Elena, Lara meets the immortal Prophet and helps him in a serious fight with Trinity.
When it comes to gameplay the games never disappoint as they show us beautiful serene places which after a short while are either damaged in some way by a fight or challenge players with puzzles and fancy mechanisms to climb on. Well, the damaging part of temples and ancient artefacts is quite the opposite of real life archeology but when in danger thinking does not matter as long as it is amusing to win the fight. In ROTR Crystal Dynamics continues with the semi-open world in which Lara is more experienced survivor. She has more moves to offer as she has become more deadly since the previous game. Crafting involves smoke bombs, bombs, Molotov coctails, and enhanced ammo which give bonuses when used on multiple enemies. I personally prefer to go for the headshots. It is more disastrous than the previous as you can choose to experience all parts of it by becoming Terminator-like killing machine or to take your patience and stealthily go for the kill. Uncharted 4 has the habit of cornering your character with mercenaries and leave you outnumbered. The enemies are a little more intelligent as they away know where you are but there is no need to worry as Nathan is moves more smoothly and is easier to control. It takes you in playgrounds where you can either shoot your way out or stealthily eliminate opponents and continue with the story. At least Nate can turn and shoot while Lara can only shoot when looking forward, even though both of them feel very fluid when playing.
The storytelling of the games is a little predicable but the beautiful vistas and mystery around the places preserves the romantic adventure spirit of Indiana Jones. In Uncharted 4 the combat is quite repetitive and after you finish you there is not much but the multiplayer where you can play as the other characters in either a deathmatch, capture point (plunder). In Rise of the Tomb Raider there is also some kind of multiplayer where you compete with accomplishing challenges and competing with other. After the finale there are a couple of DLCs which offer more tombs and five-hour of story. Overall, the games offer an immersive experience as they potently build the enigmatic places whose secrets are unraveled and their play with history gives an entertaining setting. Naughty Dog has created a character which resembles Prince of Persia 2007 with his charisma and sarcasm who is a bit of a troublemaker. Crystal Dynamics, on the other hand. continue to build on the established legend of Lara Croft and her archaeological conquests of tombs, findings of divine artefacts and battles with villains with god-like powers. It is an open secret that the games in this genre exchange ideas in terms of gameplay as the reboot of Tomb Raider modified its own based on the image of the first Uncharted games. No matter the origins of the gameplay and characters or the debate about who copied who, it is refreshing to see games which offer decent action adventure by keeping the dynamic environment alive and by having actual character development.

Going online offers great opportunities, but not without risk or threats.
One of the most public threats is posed by the growth of "phishing" - where someone asserts false claims or identities in an attempt users to do something: provide money or credit card information, valuable personal information, or open files or visit websites to infect user devices with viruses under false pretenses. A recent report from the Anti-Phishing Working Group shows the number and variety of phishing attacks continue to increase, despite increased public awareness and improved detection techniques.
Number 1 on the list is to establish online email access sites that look like the real ones, but with small variations in the URL address - so they come up if people mistype the URL. And then collect user IDs and passwords as individuals attempt to log in. Some even redirected users and logged them into the real site, so that users wouldn't be aware of the phishing attempt.
Number 2 was using public social network information details to attempt to gain the victim's trust. My father almost fell for this one recently. Someone used information from my nephew's Facebook page to identify relatives and note from a post that he was traveling at a certain town. My father then got a call from someone posing as a lawyer that claimed my nephew had been arrested there and asking for money to cover bail. Luckily, he was able to contact folks and discovered the phishing tale was false before he had sent the funds.
Historically, most phishing attacks use email - but now they've expanded over to SMS text messaging. Some I've seen are spoofed claims of winning prizes or discount coupons, or appearing to come from service providers or other official sources. What brings this to #3 goes beyond the new means of contact - most cellphones and mobile OS don't have the same level of protection from malware and attacks that most PCs have - clicking on a link could provide access to device and user information from various programs and services on the device. And returning a message to a number can be costly - owners of numbers can set fees (which is how charities allow donations of set amounts by texting or calling a certain number). Phishers won't tell you about this, and the charges may not show up before your next bill, by which time they're long gone.
If you're online, you need to be aware of the problem of phishing and the various ways it can occur. And if you're a media outlet on the Internet, you need to not only worry about you (and your employees) falling for phishing attacks, you also need to be concerned that the website or firm the phishers are spoofing (posing as) is yours, and take steps when you can to make those attempts less effective.

New Delhi: A day after former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram was arrested, the Congress party in a press conference held here on Thursday called it a 'broad daylight murder of democracy'.
Defending Chidambaram, Congress media chief Randeep Singh Surjewala claimed that the arrest was a result of 'vindictive politics' by a 'desperate government' and accused the ED and the CBI of pleasing their 'political masters'.
Surjewala further alleged, the arrest of Chidambaram is a ploy to divert the attention of the people from the deepening economic crisis in the country. Surjewala said that Chidambaram has already been raided four times in connection with the case and "appeared in response to over 20 summons".
Calling the charges levelled against Chidambaram as false and fabricated, the Congress said, "After over 5 years of futile investigation, for an alleged offence that took place in 2008, the authorities are unable to come out with any clear or precise allegation or a compelling case against Chidambaram."
This leads to only one unmistakable conclusion - "false charges are being heaped upon senior political rivals to silence anyone and everyone in the country."
Though the agencies believe they have a strong case against Chidambaram and need to question him to establish the money trail, Congress called the move "vindictive, selective and malicious". In a shocking move, the Congress media chief didn't spare the media as well calling a section of them as "propaganda machinery".

Our January bird walk took place on Sunday, January 13th. A small group of 5 birders braved the cold and were treated to a total of 27 species.
As we move further into winter, the waters of the marsh have frozen and ducks and geese have largely moved on to seek open water. We were still able to record 38 Canada Geese and 3 Black Ducks as fly-overs. Despite the cold and frozen water we were able to see and hear some notable species including: Northern Harrier hunting low over the marsh, Pileated Woodpecker calling from the hillside, the first American Tree Sparrow of the season, White-crowned Sparrow working the feeders and three Rusty Blackbirds in the wet areas behind the catfish pond.
Our next walk will be held on Sunday, February 10th at 8:00AM.
See you then!

The first rumors are appearing that in the MWC of this year the Xiaomi Mi 7 could be presented, although we still do not have confirmations from the company. However, like devices in the past, images of the possible Xiaomi Mi 6X have been leaked, showing the back, and there is a specific detail that caught the attention of users.
What is the possible design of the Xiaomi Mi 6X?
The Xiaomi Mi 6X, as its name implies, is the successor of the Xiaomi Mi 5X, which was a very popular smartphone last year, better known as the Mi A1 in India. From what appears in the filtered images, you can see the back panel of the device, having a configuration of the vertical double camera, mysteriously similar to that of the iPhone X. In fact, this is not the first time you see unofficial images of this phone, since very recently the samples of the silicone linings of this one came to light, showing the particular camera.
At times, it can be predicted that the Xiaomi Mi 6X will come with the same dual camera as the iPhone X, with the flash located between the two lenses. With respect to the rest of the back, it is found without any detail, in addition to the company logo on the bottom. Also, the antenna lines have the same design that we saw in the Mi 5X.
What does the "case" of this device show us?
When viewing the images that show the silicone case of the device, it can be clearly seen that it has a screen with an aspect ratio of 18: 9 and with a minimum of two-sided biceps, as well as on the top and bottom. Furthermore, the headphone jack of 3.5 mm and port USB type C are located at the bottom, next to the speaker grill, while the IR Blaster is present on top.
We know that these are only leaks, but even so, they may have given us the design that the Xiaomi Mi 6X will have.

Fleece Material
One of the most revolutionary fabrics of our times, fleece material enjoys the reputation of being light, reliable, warm and pretty cheap at the same time. Furthermore, the manufacturing process is tributary for the environment-friendly feature of the fabric, since fleece material comes from by-products of the petro-chemical industry. Presently, manufacturers can make fleece from almost any form of recycled plastic from pets to complex drinking containers.
The advantages of fleece material are manifold; first and foremost, it is very comfortable due to its light weight and anti-perspiration structure. Most of the sports equipment designed for winter wear use fleece material in the basic layers of the apparel items. Given the pore structure of the fabric, fleece material allows the elimination of the perspiration from the skin surface, while blocking the access of humidity from the outside. It is a one-way circuit that serves well for the purpose of anyone who does a lot of physical activity out in the open.
Besides high levels of comfort owing to the excellent insulation properties, fleece material is machine washable and very quick to dry; nevertheless, it is good to follow the washing instructions so as not to deteriorate the fabric by using a too high washing temperature. Moreover, fleece provides an excellent alternative to those people who are allergic to wool, not to mention that it preserves its properties even when wet. When exposed to rainy conditions, you'll be surprised to see how well the hydrophobic features of fleece material help you!
Depending on the manufacturing company, various types of fleece and polartec are available on the market; in some cases the fleece material has a combined structure of recycled polyester fibers and organic wool. Top brand names depend on such innovations for the success of their products regardless if we are talking about autumn or winter collections.
Among the disadvantages of fleece material we should include its easy flammability and the generation of high static electric charges. The latter feature makes fleece material a true magnet for dust, animal hair and microscopic particles present in the air. It is highly recommended that you purchase a quality product, even if it implies paying more, otherwise, you risk to face easy fleece tearing or deterioration.

LITTLE CHUTE (NBC26) — The recent rain we've had continues to cause problems in Northeast Wisconsin especially on the Fox River. The water level is high and moving fast.
Chad Shaw with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said every autumn, they drain water out of Lake Winnebago to make room for extra water after the spring thaw. With the record rain, however, they have even more water to remove from Lake Winnebago. As the draining begins, the water is flowing faster and higher down the Fox River.
This can lead to potentially dangerous situations for those visiting the Fox.
"You can get into the draw of a dam before you realize you're into that area, and with the current being so strong at this point, it can be near impossible to paddle away from the dam," said Shaw.
- The nonprofit organization Northeast Wisconsin Paddlers has its Appleton Locks Paddle set for this Saturday, but some changes had to be made to the route because of the flow of the river. Leaders in the group wanted to make sure all the paddlers are safe.
"As a nonprofit organization focused on safe paddling sports, we are very careful to set up events that we think are as safe as they can be," said Jeff Mazanec, the president of Northeast Wisconsin Paddlers.
Mazanec added that they will be launching at Sunset Park and ending there to avoid the locks they would pass on the original route. He said he believes it would be too risky to go near the dams.
Shaw said he expects this to last several weeks.

Highlands College Begins its Rights Respecting Journey
Highlands College is working towards gaining recognition as a 'Rights Respecting College', an award given on behalf of Unicef UK, which recognises that the rights of children and young people are at the heart of our ethos and culture.
Unicef is the world's leading organisation working for children and young people and their rights. In 1989, governments across the world agreed that all children have the same rights by adopting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). These rights are based on what a child needs to survive, grow, participate and fulfil their potential.
The UNCRC sets out the rights of every person under 18; it is the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history and is written into international law. The UNCRC was extended to Jersey in 2014 and commits the island to protecting and upholding children's rights and to being assessed by the United Nations on its progress.
The Rights Respecting Award is based on the principles of equality, dignity, respect, non-discrimination and participation; a Rights Respecting College models rights and respect in all of its relationships. Highlands students will learn about their rights by putting them into practice every day, both within and outside of college.

From dependency to interdependency: Pat Summitt's challenge to America.
Pat Summitt's announcement that, at the age of 59, she has been diagnosed with dementia caused by Alzheimers disease is sad news. Her plan to continue working as the head coach of the eight-time NCAA Division I national championship University of Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team is a shot heard round an aging world.
A person diagnosed with dementia still working? The idea seems bizarre, and yet a big money college athletic program does not run its coaching staff like a small town volunteer basketball program. The University's decision to retain her as a coach is an opportunity for society to engage in a vigorous debate about how will we live with cognitive impairment as well as other impairments seen with the chronic diseases common to older adults.
Summitt's exact story is unusual. Alzheimers disease is rare before the 7th decade of life. But the theme of her story is common, and, in the coming decades, it will be even more common.... To read the rest of this essay, visit the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Human Capital Blog.
An update -- 29 April 2012. One season after disclosing her diagnosis of Alzheimers Disease, Pat Summitt had resigned as head coach. She will continue in an advisory role. She is also a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, making her perhaps the first person with diagnosed Alzheimers Disease to receive this award. Her story continues to foretell the future of an aging America.

A myth that the Palestinians keep "missing opportunities" to find lasting solutions is being revived from Jared Kushner, to Tony Blair, to Mohammed bin Salman.
The prime example that is often raised is the 2000 Camp David Summit between the late Chairman of the PLO Yasser Arafat and the former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, where Palestinians turned down what was often reported as a "generous" or "unprecedented offer."
The question is whether those who defend Israel's generosity have even read Barak's offer? Barak never presented a plan in writing to the Palestinians who were skeptical of an oral, not documented, commitment. Palestinians were blamed, not the Israelis even though the latter is both the occupier and at the time Barak had failed to implement in full the agreements Israel had already signed onto during the Oslo Accords.
So, what was that offer?
Palestinians perceived Camp David as an ambush. They were presented with a deal that was more favorable to Israel, than to Palestinians. Barak's package would have given Palestinians a non-sovereign, truncated and demilitarized "state" in the West Bank and Gaza, and would terminate all future claims in historical Palestine, including the right of return for Palestinian refugees.
Barak refused to accept that Israel has any political, legal, or moral responsibility for the plight of the Palestinians. He dealt with the refugees on "humanitarian" grounds, within the framework of individual cases of family reunification. This clearly illustrates Israel's attempt to relinquish all responsibility for the forceful emigration of Palestinian refugees and the destruction of Palestinian villages. Barak proposed allowing 100,000 out of then 5 million refugees to return and creating a fund of $30 billion to resettle refugees elsewhere.
On settlements, Barak demanded to annex 3 percent of the West Bank, which would allow all of the major settlement blocs, and around 80 percent of settlers, to remain. They would be supported by a complex Israeli road network in the West Bank that would constitute a drastic division of the land into four isolated cantons, with Israel able to sever territorial continuity at will. The settlements are connected by bypass roads that are not only under complete Israeli control but also swallowing scores of acres of Palestinian lands. In addition, many of the settlements are built over a water aquifer, thus depriving Palestinians of its access to water resources.
Jerusalem became an issue that hastened the unraveling of the negotiations. Either Palestinians give up sovereignty over the Muslim and Christian holy places in Jerusalem, relinquish parts of the Old City to Israel, and accept the role of "administrator" in East Jerusalem, or reject the whole offer outright, which they did.
Arafat was then panned for a "missed opportunity." By scrutinizing the deal and trying to understand why Palestinians reject it, we can see Palestinian negotiators had deep concerns over massive losses of territory and an end to the statehood project rather than a start.
When Israelis spoke of "95 percent of the West Bank and Gaza," becoming part of a future state of Palestine, this excluded Jerusalem, the Latroun area and the Dead Sea, which translates into approximately 65 percent of the total area of the occupied Palestinian territory (excluding Gaza).
Moreover, one cannot dissociate the concept of "generous proposals" from the national rights of the Palestinian people. At the time of Camp David, Palestinian leaders had already accepted a political settlement based on international resolutions. In the year that the British Mandate began in 1922, the Palestinian people comprised around 90 percent of the population.
International resolutions allow building a state on 22 percent of historic Palestine. At the end of the 1967 war, UN resolution 242 established the framework for ending the occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem so that Palestinians can assert sovereignty, which was backed up by UN resolution 338 in the 1970s.
In addition, there are other UN resolutions, including resolution 465 which declared settlements violate the Fourth Geneva Convention and, as such, should be removed. Resolutions 478 and 252 have declared that the Israeli annexation of Jerusalem is illegitimate. Each one of these resolutions has been approved by the security council, including the US as a permanent member well before Trump's administration decided to change those positions.
Further, both Barak and the Trump administration made the assumption that the settlements in Jerusalem and the surrounding area are legal. While Donald Trump recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Barak divided the geographic and demographic unity of the city within the framework of complete Israeli control, including Palestinian self-rule areas in the so-called "Arab Districts."
Barak's "generous offer" also included the stipulation that Israel keep three early-warning stations in the West Bank, even though it already has satellite and other means of surveillance. In addition to various military positions that are to be maintained in order to store military equipment, it was stipulated that five military positions on the Jordanian border be kept under complete Israeli control for a period of six to 12 years. Israel insists on participating in the "observation" of Palestinian passage to Jordan and Egypt, and Israel's warplanes would have the right to launch training flights over Palestinian air space.
Though not released, leaked documents on the contents of the Trump administration's deal is even worse in its total denial of most precepts guaranteed to Palestinians under international law. Of course, Palestinian acceptance of these conditions would be nothing less than legitimizing Israeli occupation. Would Palestinians have the same rights as Israel? Of course not. The new deal of the century reportedly would not remove any Israeli settlements.
So, are they really "missed opportunities," as some claim? Are they serious Israeli or American attempts to find lasting solutions? The answer might be yes only if natives are expected to appreciate any offer regardless of what is in it.
Of course, the possibility of peace still exists if Israel is willing to comply with international law and convention which specify Israeli withdrawal from Palestinian territory to the borders of 1967, the recognition of the right of refugees to return, and the end of Israel's apartheid laws against its Palestinian citizens. This is the real opportunity Israel keeps missing.

BUSTED: DC-based sandwich chain declares bankruptcy and closes all stores over owner's ties to Trump
A Washington, D.C. based hoagie shop will close all 17 of its stores after facing backlash over the owner's decision to join President Donald Trump's small business roundtable, reports Washingtonian.
Taylor Gourmet was a rapidly expanding and successful brand which will now shutter all of its stores this Sunday.
The development came after owner Casey Patten accepted an invitation to attend the White House's small business roundtable. He said he went to pitch= Trump on his idea to increase the employment of workers ages 16 to 24 and to "cut down the red tape."
The roundtable—which the owner described as "exhilarating"—happened at the height of the furor over Trump's Muslim ban.
Patten registered as Republican but after the uproar claimed that he was "apolitical"and didn't vote in the 2016 presidential election, pointing out that Obama had once eaten at the hoagie chain.
He even tried diffusing the anger with a billboard in one Washington location which said "Less Politics, More Hoagies."
Washingtonian reports that an insider said sales dropped 40 percent the day after the Trump meeting "and it persisted and never really got any better."
Social media reaction was mostly lacking in sympathy:

The pop-up doggie beauty parlour will be stationed in the courtyard of Somerset House for the duration of the event offering pooch-pampering pedicures and styling sessions by appointment only.
The promotional event is in place to showcase Swatch's My Pet and Me collection of six animal themed watches which includes Andy Baby, with its bow-tie wearing French bulldog on the dial.

"Lesson 14: Jesus Christ Is the Messiah," Jesus Christ and the Everlasting Gospel Teacher Manual (2015)
"Lesson 14," Teacher Manual
Lesson 14
Jesus Christ Is the Messiah
Old Testament prophets testified of the coming Messiah—a descendant of King David who would deliver His people. Jesus Christ was "the Great Jehovah of the Old Testament, the Messiah of the New" ("The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles," Ensign or Liahona, Apr. 2000, 2). In this lesson, students will explore some of the Old Testament prophecies of Jesus Christ and discover how some individuals responded when faced with accepting or rejecting Jesus Christ as the Messiah.
Background Reading
G. Homer Durham, "Jesus the Christ: The Words and Their Meaning," Ensign, May 1984, 14–16.
"The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Messiah," Ensign or Liahona, Aug. 2014, 7.
Suggestions for Teaching
Isaiah 61:1–2; Luke 4:16–24
Jesus announces that He is the Messiah
Ask students if they have ever experienced hearing a long-awaited announcement or seeing the arrival of a long-awaited friend or family member. Tell students that today's lesson explores a similar experience among the ancient Jews. Invite a student to read Isaiah 61:1–2 aloud. Then ask:
Who is this prophecy about?
After the video, ask:
How would you summarize the Savior's message in Nazareth that day? (As students respond, be sure the discussion focuses on verse 18 and verse 21.)
What do you think is the significance of the phrases "he hath anointed me" and "this day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears"? (To help students understand that Messiah and Christ both mean "the Anointed One," invite them to read the entry for "Messiah" in the Guide to the Scriptures (see scriptures.lds.org).
How did Jesus fulfill the prophecy from Isaiah that He quoted from (see verses 18–19)?
Matthew 21:1–11
Jesus Christ came as the Messiah
Display or write the following sets of scripture passages on the board, and invite students to select one or two to study. As students compare and contrast the passages they have chosen, ask them to think about why the passages are grouped together and what they teach about Jesus Christ.
Invite students to share what they learned. (Though they may use different words, students should understand that Jesus Christ came, lived, and died in fulfillment of messianic prophecies.) Emphasize that this truth is what the Savior announced in Nazareth. Read Luke 4:28–29 aloud. Then ask:
How did the people in the synagogue at Nazareth respond to Jesus's announcement?
Tell students that a few years later, Jesus experienced a very different response from some people in Jerusalem. Invite several students to take turns reading aloud from Matthew 21:1–11. Before the students read, encourage the class to visualize being at the event described in this passage. Explain to students that as they learn to visualize what is taking place in the scriptures, they will give the Holy Ghost additional opportunities to teach them.
Why did the people in Jerusalem respond the way they did? (They recognized Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah.)
How do you think you would have responded?
Point out the word Hosanna in verse 9; then share the following definition:
"[Hosanna is a] word from Hebrew that means 'please save us' and is used in praise and supplication.
"… At the Lord's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the multitudes cried 'Hosanna' and spread palm branches for Jesus to ride upon, thus demonstrating their understanding that Jesus was the same Lord who had delivered Israel anciently (Ps. 118:25–26; Matt. 21:9, 15; Mark 11:9–10; John 12:13). These people recognized Christ as the long-awaited Messiah. The word Hosanna has become a celebration of the Messiah in all ages (1 Ne. 11:6; 3 Ne. 11:14–17). The hosanna shout was included in the dedication of the Kirtland Temple (D&C 109:79) and is now a part of the dedication of modern temples" (Guide to the Scriptures, "Hosanna"; scriptures.lds.org).
Consider displaying the following purposes of messianic prophecies (adapted from Bruce R. McConkie, The Promised Messiah: The First Coming of Christ [1978], 28–32):
Messianic prophecies enabled those living before the birth of Jesus Christ to have faith in Him, thereby helping them to gain salvation (see 1 Nephi 10:4–6; 2 Nephi 25:18–20, 26; Mosiah 3:13).
Messianic prophecies enabled those living at the time of Christ to recognize that He was the fulfillment of those prophecies, thus, helping them to gain salvation (see John 4:25, 29).
Messianic prophecies help those living after Jesus Christ's mortal ministry to know that He was the fulfillment of prophecies, thus helping them to gain salvation (see Acts 3:12–18; 26:22–23).
As you consider these three purposes, how might it benefit you to learn to identify messianic prophecies in the scriptures and to see Christ as the fulfillment of those prophecies?
John 6:5–69
Following Jesus Christ as the Messiah
Reiterate that Jews during New Testament times believed the Messiah would one day come from the lineage of David to save His people. Many believed He would deliver them from Roman bondage just as Jehovah had delivered the Israelites from Egypt.
Ask students to quickly skim the account in John 6:5–15. Ask:
What miracle did Jesus perform in this account?
How would you describe the people's reaction in verses 14–15?
Why do you think they responded this way?
Share the following insight from Elder Bruce R. McConkie (1915–85) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles:
"There was a tradition, taught by the Rabbis and firmly entrenched in the public mind, that when Messiah came, he would feed them with bread from heaven" (The Mortal Messiah, 4 vols. [1979–81], 2:367).
Explain that much like when Jehovah fed the children of Israel with manna (see Exodus 16), when Jesus fed the multitude with five barley loaves and two fishes, many interpreted His miracle as a sign that He was the Messiah.
Invite a few students to take turns reading aloud from John 6:31–32, 49–53, 60, 66. Ask the class to follow along and look for how people reacted to Jesus the next day and how He responded to them.
Why do you think many rejected Jesus that day?
What had they failed to understand? (Jesus was the source of spiritual life; He was the Bread of Life.)
Invite a student to read John 6:67–69 aloud. Then ask the class:
What did Peter's testimony in verse 69 affirm?
How did Peter's testimony of the Savior affect his life?
Write the following incomplete statement on the board, and ask students to explain how they would complete it: If we accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah, then _________________________ .
After a few responses, invite a student to read aloud the following statement by President David O. McKay (1873–1970):
"What you sincerely in your heart think of Christ will determine what you are, will largely determine what your acts will be. No person can study this divine personality, can accept his teachings without becoming conscious of an uplifting and refining influence within himself" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: David O. McKay [2003], 7).
Give students time to write down what they think about Christ. Invite a few students to share what they wrote.
Encourage students to consider what they can do this week to demonstrate their belief in Jesus Christ.
Student Readings

It all depends. Some employers frown on the very idea even going so far as to include the topic in their employee handbooks. Employees counter that this is an infringement on their first amendment rights to free speech. The analogy is made concerning NFL players who kneel in protest during the national anthem in a stadium. Owners maintain they have the right to dictate behavior within the confines of the work environment. Many private employers are of the same opinion-telling employees not to partake in an ideologically centered conversation that could cause disruption in the workplace environment. Many offices have guidelines that prohibit the wearing of clothes endorsing a political party or bringing campaign literature into the workplace.
The topic has exploded like an erupting volcano since President Trump took the oath of office on January 20, 2017. Manny Medina, CEO of a software company based in Seattle says "Politics is just as important to your day-to-day activities and it's important to us as a company and citizens. Why would you take that off the table?" In addition, businesses that attract younger workers (Millennials) maintain that this demographic prefers a workplace scenario where an exchange of political ideas is not taboo (management does not actively encourage personal discussion as it affects worker productivity).
Something Else to Consider: Employees are always advised to exercise restraint and caution when it comes to social media as content can be construed in a negative way by an employer. Some headhunters say that even when out of the office-pick and choose carefully who you are conversing with if it's about politics-because you never know how your thoughts can change someone's opinion of you. Another piece of advice-if the discussion is getting too heated, your best bet is to simply and politely walk away.

California fire caused by explosive at gender-reveal party
El Dorado blaze which has burned 7,000-acres was caused by smoke generating pyrotechnic device, fire department says
A fire in California that has burned more than 7,000 acres was caused by a pyrotechnic device used at a gender reveal party, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has found.
In a statement released late on Sunday, the department said: The fire began at 10:23 am on September 5, 2020 in the El Dorado Ranch Park in Yucaipa, before spreading north.
The agency said the fire was caused by a smoke generating pyrotechnic device, used during a gender reveal party. The fire started on Saturday morning.
With the dry conditions and critical fire weather, it doesnt take much to start a wildfire. Those responsible for starting fires due to negligence or illegal activity can be held financially and criminally responsible, the statement said.
The fire has since destroyed 7,050 acres. It has prompted the evacuation of 3,000 residents, CBS reported.
Almost 12,500 firefighters are currently battling 22 major fires across the state, according to Cal Fire. Earlier on Sunday, Cal Fire said nearly 12,500 firefighters were battling 22 major fires in the state.
Gender reveal parties, at which expectant parents announce the genders of their soon-to-be-born infants, often feature elaborate ways of saying whether the baby is a boy or girl.
In July 2019, one of the pioneers of the gender-reveal movement said it was time to re-evaluate the practice and that her own daughter had begun to explore her gender and defy gender norms.
In April 2017, an off-duty US border patrol agent, Dennis Dickey, caused $8m of damage to 19,000 hectares (47,000 acres) of Arizona forest when he shot at a target full of blue-coloured explosive as a means of announcing the gender of his unborn child.
In October 2019, a woman was killed when a home-made device that was meant to discharge coloured powder exploded at a gender reveal party in Iowa.
California has been dealing with weeks-long wildfires and faced record-high temperatures over the Labor Day weekend. On Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles county, the temperature reached a record high of 121F (49 C), according to the National Weather Service.

Tracking Notification
Short, concise description of the idea
When someone starts tracking (receiving notifications) whenever you post a new entry, userpic, etc. you receive a note letting you know who it is.
Full description of the idea
There are options to receive notifications whenever people update their journal, upload a new userpic, when their journal is purged, etc. I would like to get a notification including the username of the person who is tracking my movements online.
- User would know who is reading their journal.
It could help prevent online stalking issues.
Allows user to know that their movements are being watched by someone else - privacy issues and all that.
- Possibly this could cause more journals to go friends-only other than that I can see no other issues.

Imagine What Would Happen if China Decided to Impose Economic Sanctions on the USA?
By, August 03, 2017
Following the completion of the investigation, Washington threatens to "impose steep tariffs on Chinese imports [into the US], rescind licenses for Chinese companies to do business in the United States, or take other measures, which could, "pave the way for the U.S. to impose sanctions on Chinese exporters or to further restrict the transfer of advanced technology to Chinese firms or to U.S.-China joint ventures."
Breaking: Seymour Hersh Cracks 'RussiaGate' as CIA-Planted Lie, Revenge Against Trump
By, August 02, 2017
In a youtube video upload-dated August 1st, he reveals from his inside FBI and Washington DC Police Department sources — now, long before the Justice Department's Special Counsel Robert Mueller will be presenting his official 'findings' to the nation — that the charges that Russia had anything to do with the leaks from the DNC and Hillary Clinton's campaign to Wikileaks, that those charges spread by the press, were a CIA-planted lie, and that what Wikileaks had gotten was only leaks (including at least from the murdered DNC-staffer Seth Rich), and were not from any outsider (including 'the Russians'), but that Rich didn't get killed for that, but was instead shot in the back during a brutal robbery, which occurred in the high-crime DC neighborhood where he lived. Here is the video, and here is the transcript of it.
Trump's Choices. Russian Military has Concluded that Washington is preparing a surprise Nuclear Attack on Russia
By, August 02, 2017
The US has broken and withdrawn from security agreement after security agreement and has compounded the threat that Russia sees by conducting war games on Russia's borders, staging a coup in Ukraine, a province of Russia for centuries, and by a continuous stream of false accusations against Russia.
Going after ISIS, Killing Civilians as Military Doctrine
By, August 02, 2017
Massacring 40,000 civilians in Mosul was not a mistake, just like slaughtering over 500,000 Iraqi kids under five with pre-war sanctions was not a mistake. These are all strategic decisions.
Extraordinary CIA Renditions and Arbitrary Detentions, Far Beyond the "War on Terrorism"
By, August 02, 2017
After 2001, the U.S. implementation of 'extraordinary renditions' has required the secret collaboration of some EU governments and others around the world. For instance, Sweden collaborated secretly with the CIA in the rendition of two refugees that were transported from a Stockholm airport to a torture site in Egypt.
After Venezuela's Election, U.S. and Allies Turn Up Heat – A Coup Could Be Ahead
By, August 02, 2017
The Trump administration has described Sunday's constituent assembly election in Venezuela as "another step toward dictatorship," despite high voter turnout and little evidence that the assembly will dissolve the country's legislature. Will Venezuela be the CIA's next regime change target?
