There are another 2 weeks where I work on getting some form and finally, 2 weeks where I claim to be a runner and take on a marathon.
It was with this in mind that I eagerly clicked on an article claiming to be the 7 secrets of running efficiency.
To think, after all these years I was on the edge of discovering the secrets of a sub 3 hour marathon where my rather rudimentary running style would morph in to effortless self-propelled forward momentum.
Digressing for a moment, in forging sporting and business careers, I have routinely used the leadership lessons of each in the pursuit of the other.
The players taking the field are sales and distribution, selectors are HR and collective performance is the sum total of individual contributions where each individual has their own reason for doing what they do and need to be understood and fostered.
Back to the article that was to be my key to easy running.
The reality is, it was nothing of the sort; it was much more.
The article talked about the need for both process and outcome goals. The process being the training and the outcome being the completion of an event in a particular time.
Or, in business speak, the process is the manufacturing and the outcome is distribution of the number of units needed to achieve profitability.
A further point was the need for consistency. The consistency of effort in training and preparation delivers results, just as it does in business endeavours.
The need to train at different speeds was also emphasised. How often do we as leaders, or for that matter, do our leaders forget this?
The old adage of "if it doesn't hurt it doesn't help" has long gone the way of history. In athletic and business endeavours, performance cannot be achieved or sustained if we are always training (working) at full pace. Athletically, we fall to physical injury while in business, mental exhaustion and worse can occur.
The need to schedule recovery time was also highlighted.
Athletes plan recovery time in to each month's training schedule. Perhaps it is time we changed our thinking in our business lives.
In Australia we generally have 4 weeks annual leave for our recovery however no high performing athlete operates in such a way so does it makes sense our "Corporate Athletes" do?
The final point I will highlight is very important, the easiest to implement and the one most often overlooked.
It is "too celebrate achievements no matter how small".
Athletically, out training partners and coaches are interested in our personal goals and objectives and openly encourage, acknowledge and celebrate these with us.
Unfortunately, in the workplace, only the Corporate goals and objectives tend to be celebrated.
Making this simple change could have a huge impact on performance, engagement and culture.

Carl Jung wrote: "There is no coming to consciousness without pain".
When we can't sit still and simply 'be' and instead follow the urge to stay busy, we may be avoiding /resisting our feelings. It's human to NOT want to feel pain. And it can be destructive. Addictions arise from our resistance. Stress. Numbness. Loss of vitality. Ill health. The list goes on.
What makes the difference? What helps us say yes to where we're at in an honest, open way?
Firstly, it's setting the intention to be with whatever arises as we tune in and notice. This is different than acting out feelings in destructive ways. Secondly, there are skills to develop that support us in being with 'what is' in a graceful way that promotes wholeness.
It's a lifetime practice to foster and nurture our ability to truly feel. It's a practice to be aware of our body's sensations, which accompany our feelings. It is this consciousness that enables us to navigate through the pain and challenges of life and be present to the joy.
Pausing. Separating the story from the feeling. Allowing ourselves to experience the energy of whatever feeling that is present. Deeply knowing any painful feeling is simply turbulence that has come to visit for awhile and will pass.
To take the time and energy to learn, to receive the needed support, to invest in ourselves - all this and more are gifts that we give ourselves on our path toward Consciousness.
Navigating the pain-body until I reach the other side is a skill that is worth fostering. Life offers so much - I am ready to experience it all.

Re: Radioddity GD-77
Posted: 22 Nov 2017, 13:47
I hav had one of these over a week now and still have problems programming this thing..also cant update the firmwware..
The Home of Radio!
The timeslot! Also if they're repeaters then make sure to set the TX frequency as something different to the RX frequency so that the radio realises it's a repeater and receives it. Otherwise if they're set the same, it thinks its a simplex channel and won't receive a repeater. At least that's how it is on the other DMR radios I've used, I assume the GD-77 should work the same.DrumGeek wrote: ↑05 Dec 2017, 16:11There may also be something else I'm missing as I've found a couple of DMR systems around me with DSD+ so I know the RX Freq, colour code and TG number which I've programmed in. I see the green LED on top of the radio light up indicating traffic but dont hear any audio....
Ah well, I'll keep plugging away!
Thanks for the heads up. I couldn't pass on a chance at that price :-)f4phixeruk wrote: ↑31 Jan 2018, 11:47Down £11 on Amazon in the Lightning deal for the next 3 hours. Posted at 11:47 GMT 31/01/18
You could still use simplex DMR if there are any locals with DMR radios.andymuza wrote: ↑24 Mar 2018, 19:01Just got one of these via a lightning deal from amazon for £65. I have zero experience with DMR so thought it was a good deal as a first DMR set.
As a DMR noob I am a little lost with it all and I find the radio not very intuitive and the manual is the usual badly translated offering from china. I must add, it's not as bad as some though.
In an ideal world I would have done some research into DMR before committing to buy however, this was a lightning deal with a 5 hour time limit and I got the offer just before I started work so, I took the risk. If I had time to research I would not have bought one as in my area, Teesside, we have no DMR repeaters.
Well finding out that bombshell I thought oh well I will use it in Analogue mode so it's not going to waste. I then discovered that you can't put the radio in analogue mode because you have to use the software to program 1 channel at a time and switching it to analogue. I then read about VFO mode via the latest firmware so I run the upgrade but, it just gives me errors.
I finally get the upgrade done but can't find how you switch to VFO mode. I have seen a video but my radio doesn't have the same menu's as the radio in the video so, for now, I still have to use the software to program analogue channels. I am now getting it into VFO mode.
I would like to say it's been fun but the fact I am unable to use DMR around here is sort of defeating the object.

Our Spa Spy review
First Impressions
Holm House Hotel is a former 1920s arts-and-craft-style mansion house on a cliff top in Penarth, South Wales. Take the winding road up from town and the views of the Bristol Channel make a beautiful first impression. The white stuccoed building looks older than its age with stone mullioned windows. Inside is a modern but sympathetic renovation. The spa is pretty but small.
What's on offer?
Spa reception complements the calm and peaceful vibe of the hotel. White walls contrast with soft grey and teal furnishings. Friendly and helpful staff gave us a warm welcome.
The changing rooms are small but plush with half-size lockers, one shower, one bathroom, and a vanity mirror and hairdryer. The showers have plenty of shampoo and conditioner, but you may want to take your own facial skincare products. The spa encourages guests staying at the hotel to change in their rooms and head down to the spa in their robes and slippers.
The wet and thermal facilities are tiled in grey with large windows running along one side of the room. The 15-metre hydro-pool has a powerful swan pipe and underwater jets to massage your muscles. If swimming sounds like too much work, chill out on one of the four cushioned recliners beside the pool. The hot steam room has soothing purple lights and a fresh aromatherapy scent; it would comfortably seat four to six people.
The relaxation lounge is the centrepiece of the spa. The wooden floor, white walls and grey accents continue the calm of the spa. There are long comfortable recliners with pillows and blankets. A central wicker table holds lovely product samples to try and consultation forms to fill out before your treatment. A fridge has chilled juices and water, and the hot-water dispenser means you can make yourself a cup of tea. The relaxation room has French doors which open onto a sun terrace and view of the gardens.
The outside sun terrace has a spectacular view over the coast. On a summer day, it's a perfect suntrap; we loved lying on the outdoor loungers and soaking up the sunshine.
If you want to give your endorphins a boost, try the well-equipped gym.
Tell us about the treatments
The treatments at Holm House Spa draw on Penarth's coastal location. The spa menu offers an imaginatively titled series of five sea journeys, from "The Bay of Bengal" to "South to the Bali Sea". On arrival we had a consultation with our therapist, and chose Our Most Precious Journey (90 minutes, £95) which combined a gold massage and a gold anti-ageing facial.
Abi, my therapist, met me in the relaxation lounge and took me to our treatment room. I settled face down on the comfortable treatment bed. Abi started with the massage, using perfectly tailored pressure to melt away knots and areas of tension. She used a mixture of long flowing movements and deeper pressure on my neck, shoulders and back, then moved onto the backs of my arms and legs. I turned over and she used the same soothing mixture of techniques on my décolletage, arms, front of my legs, and feet. My muscles were blissfully relaxed. My skin was gloriously radiant: the massage oil had extracts of gold, mother of pearl and caviar so I was glowing.
Next was the facial. Abi cleansed and exfoliated my skin then applied a thick and hydrating mask. She massaged my scalp (absolutely lovely) while the mask worked on my skin. She peeled the mask off, cleansed again, then applied a finishing moisturiser. My skin felt smooth, fresh and completely moisturised.
Abi gently told me that the treatment had ended and asked me to take my time getting up and into my robe. When I finally made my way out of the treatment room, Abi gave me a cup of water and took me back to the relaxation lounge.
The treatment menu at Holm House Spa offers an around-the-world tour of La Sultane de Saba spa treatments. Choose a Japanese rice facial, a Balinese flower journey, or an ayurvedic massage. The spa also offers more traditional massages, facials, body treatments and beauty finishing touches.
Food Facts
Lunch is served in the two AA Rosette Welsh Room restaurant. The restaurant is bright with large French doors which open onto the hotel gardens with views of the coastline. A set menu of two or three courses runs from healthy soup and salads to larger fish, chicken and vegetarian options. Save room for desserts; our lemon tart was delicious. You can also order fresh juices, teas and coffees, and wine and bubbles. You will need to dress for lunch, though, rather than dine in your robe.
Spa guests can request to eat in the spa, but this will depend on how busy it is on the day.
We loved / we didn't love
We loved
The incredible levels of customer service: All of the members of staff we spoke to had a relaxed and flexible attitude; they knew our names and were on hand to help whenever we needed.
The tailored treatments: Being able to choose a journey that exactly suited our mood was a real treat.
The coastline setting: Whether you're in the relaxation room, a bedroom, or the restaurant, you can enjoy the fabulous views of the gardens and the coast.
We didn't love
The changing rooms are really small and not conducive to getting ready for a spa day. We chose to change in our room so we had more space.
The wet floor poolside: Our spa slippers felt a little perilous with water underfoot.
Who do you think would like it?
Couples: Holm House Spa is intimate and has lovely luxurious treatments. Stay overnight and wine and dine your valentine.
Foodies: We loved the fresh and locally sourced food.
Anyone looking for a winter break: Wrap up warm for a walk along the coastline, then head to the spa for an indulgent treatment; you will have well and truly earned it.
What bubble rating did you give this spa?
We awarded Holm House Spa a Good Spa Guide rating of 4 bubbles. It's a small and intimate experience but the setting, service, and quality of treatments make this a special spa. A little work on the changing rooms and pool could make Holm House a 5-bubble contender.
Super Spy visited in September 2016 and awarded it 4 Bubbles.

It's Her Party and She'll Cry If She Wants To
Viktor Yushchenko's victory in the presidential election in Ukraine -- following one effort to stop him by vote fraud, and another through poisoning -- is being hailed as a triumph of idealism and popular will. But don't think that even a fledgling democracy such as Ukraine is free of those crafty political consultants who lurk behind the scenes in elections in the United States.
Steve Schmidt, the bulldog of the Bush-Cheney campaign who spent hours every day spinning reporters on John F. Kerry's plane, is moving into Vice President Cheney's operation after the inauguration with broad responsibilities that are being compared to those of Mary Matalin when she was the vice president's counselor. Schmidt, now communications director of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, bonded with Cheney during debate preparation. White House officials call his appointment a sign of Cheney's planned aggressiveness heading into the 2006 elections.

Aspects of Nature: the Twilight, 1898
France's 'Little Hokusai' gets the star treatment in Hayama
Whenever an exhibition of late 19th-century European art is held in Tokyo, the curators never tire of telling us how all the major developments of the period were influenced by Japan. Impressionism's embrace of nature and city life as themes, Toulouse-Lautrec's asymmetrically energetic posters of Moulin Rouge nightlife, and even Vincent Van Gogh's interest in big shiny flowers and DIY ear surgery are all supposed to have had their roots in aspects of Japanese art.
The mental image this creates is of a group of effete Parisians, bored with painting saccharine cupids and fusty old saints, opening up a crate of Japanese crockery to find it wrapped in discarded ukiyo-e prints, which then blow their minds. Sometimes this line can get a little stale or unconvincing through repetition, but with Henri Riviere: A French Master of Ukiyoe, the influence of Japanese woodblock printing on this French artist is unmistakable.
Previous Riviere exhibitions in Japan have focused on his Thirty-Six Views of the Eiffel Tower (1902), a series of Paris cityscapes clearly inspired by ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai's much more famous Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji from 1826 (some examples of which are included in this exhibition to help drive home the main curatorial thesis). Like Hokusai's series, in which Japan's iconic volcano is sometimes prominently displayed and at other times a cipher on the horizon, Riviere uses the equally identifiable Eiffel Tower to mark his views as belonging unquestionably to a specific locale. As with Hokusai's work, you occasionally have to search through the prints to catch sight of the landmark.
A good example is From the Pier, where the top of the tower is just visible amidst the rafters of the quay. Interestingly, this work is also used to show that Hokusai wasn't Riviere's only Japanese influence. Utagawa Hiroshige's Okazaki, Yahagi Bridge (c. 1840) can be found nearby, showing the beams of the bridge from a remarkably similar angle. It is impossible to determine whether this is plagiarism or coincidence.

Utagawa Hiroshige's Okazaki, Yahagi Bridge (c. 1840) can be found nearby, showing the beams of the bridge from a remarkably similar angle. It is impossible to determine whether this is plagiarism or coincidence.
Either way, the ukiyo-e precursors of Riviere's Thirty-Six Views are old hat. What distinguishes this exhibition is that it greatly adds to the picture we have of the French printmaker, bringing in other aspects of his career, like the art inspired by frequent visits to Brittany—some excellent, some more chocolate boxy—and his connection with the Chat Noir (Black Cat) cabaret group.
From 1886 to 1897, Riviere was deeply involved in producing shadow plays, influenced by oriental puppetry, at the Chat Noir theater in Paris's bohemian Montmartre district. This show includes zinc cutouts used in the performances and other paraphernalia. The work seems to have given Riviere an appreciation of the economy and expressiveness of silhouettes, which later surfaced in his prints.
The exhibition's greatly expanded view of Riviere is possible thanks to the donation of a substantial private collection to the National Library of France, and the research this prompted. But there is more to the show than this. A talented draughtsman, Riviere is nevertheless an essentially unimportant and peripheral figure from art history. Yet he has become an important artistic bridge between France and Japan.
To the Japanese, Riviere is the clearest symbol of their cherished belief that many of the great artistic developments of late 19th-century European art could not have happened without them; to the French, he represents their equally self-centered view of themselves as protean internationalists, effortlessly absorbing and blending diverse cultural strands while giving them an indelibly French stamp. In short, the modest talent of Henri Riviere succeeds in massaging two large national egos at the same time.

I believe it's actually illegal to write-in names on a ballot (well at least it is here in Canada)
Regardless, I think most voting in the US is electronic now so it wouldn't matter anyways

By now, it is clear that the Maine caucuses were a complete mess.
Evidence is mounting that Mitt Romney's 194-vote victory over Ron Paul was prematurely announced, if not totally wrong. Washington County canceled their caucus on Saturday on account of three inches of snow (hardly a blizzard by Maine standards), and other towns that scheduled their caucuses for this week have been left out of the vote count. Now, it looks like caucuses that did take place before Feb. 11 have also been left out of final tally.
As the full extent of the chaos unfolds, sources close to the Paul campaign tell Business Insider that it is looking increasingly like Romney's team might have a hand in denying Paul votes, noting that Romney has some admirably ruthless operatives on his side and a powerful incentive to avoid a fifth caucus loss this month.
Interesting article from Buisness Insider.
I can't see the coming months as being anything but a lose-lose situation for the anti-Paul GOP establishment- people who support Ron Paul never change their mind, his numbers are growing, and without doubt the blatant voter fraud that is now clearly evident is going to nothing but create rage among voters and rally his supporters.
If Paul isn't the nominee, I think it's pretty much fair to say Obama will win.
Even though I'm from Canada, I can't help but cheer on Ron Paul and give his supporters all the support I can, as I feel he is a threat to the establishment that not only rules the US, but most of the western world as well.

The caucus in Maine was and is meaningless. It nets no Delegates. It's just a barometer reading. That's why there is no reason to add the handful of votes that would likely not change the percentage in a meaningful way anyway.
If your interested you should read up on how the Primary process works and how our elections work.

This was not taken from a school book. This will not appear in a school book. Solving this will not turn you into a dork that stays inside all summer reading or programming your computer to do stupid things like share movies and music.
Instead, you will continue to go to the theater and pay full price to listen to cell phones ring, babies cry, teen girls talk about the boys they really like, and people munch on food like they're in a bar with their fat buddies watching a game on big screen TV. As a bonus, you will overpay for genetically modified food that will make you fat, give you zits, and probably cause you or your baby to develop some deformity that an industry will be sued for 20 years from now.
A simple problem so not too many of your brain cells die while all you kiddies do nothing during the hot summer. I know, some weird people live south of the equator, so it's a relatively warm, slushy winter.
The puzzle: You are with a person of the gender you prefer. Neither of you have any genetic deformities nor have had any of your limbs blown off in a war. If you are squeezing a nipple and the other person is squeezing a nipple, how many hands are left to attend to parts below the belly button?
Those that post the correct answer will get a link to a video of President Bush being given the middle finger by a little girl.

Categories: Lexington, Massachusetts | Braintree, Massachusetts.
John Hancock, Jr son of Rev John Hancock 1671 – 1752 and Elizabeth Mary Clarke 1674 – 1760 , was born June 1,1702 in Lexington, Mass. and died May 7, 1744 in Braintree, Norfolk, Massachusetts. John Hancock, Jr. was a colonial American clergyman and father of politician John Hancock who signed the Declaration of Independence. Hancock graduated from Harvard College in 1719, and served as librarian there from 1723-1726. He was ordained on November 2, 1726 and settled in Quincy, Massachusetts as pastor of church of the North Precinct (now named the United First Parish Church, nicknamed "Church of the Presidents") of the town of Braintree (now Quincy) between 1726 and 1744, and during this time, performed around 75 marriage ceremonies. He was pastor there until his death."[1]
On December 12, 1733, Rev. Ebenezer Gay of the Old Ship Church in Hingham, officiated at the wedding of John and Mary. In 1744, Rev. Gay preached a sermon at the funeral of Rev. Hancock. Rev. Gay was an old friend of the family and had been classmates at Harvard with Mary's first husband Samuel Thaxter.
He married to MARY HAWKE 1711 – 1770 on 12 DEC 1733 in Braintree, Norfolk, Massachusetts. They were parents to three children:
Mary Hancock 1735 – 1779
John Hancock 1737 – 1793
General Ebenezer Hancock 1741 – 1819
The elder Rev John Hancock (1702-1744) died when John was a child, and his mother took him and his siblings to live with in-laws in Lexington.
She later sent John to live with Lydia and Thomas Hancock, his aunt and uncle.
John and Lydia had no children and hence adopted the boy. (John Hancock b.1737–d.1793(6)

Iin addition to providing key housing services, HRC has added another significant element to the wraparound services available to Veterans experiencing homelessness on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez announced in June the award of nearly $35 million in grants to provide Veterans with job-driven training for in-demand jobs to help them successfully transition from homelessness to sustainable housing and good civilian jobs. The Homeless Veteran Reintegration Program (HVRP) has proven highly effective in helping Veterans overcome obstacles to employment and sustainable housing. Hancock Resource Center was awarded a contract to create a Veteran Employment Network, connecting Veterans in Hancock, Harrison, and Pearl River Counties with employers based upon key skills inventories and employer-specific needs. Homeless Veterans will receive occupational, classroom and on-the-job training, as well as job search and placement assistance, including follow-up services.
Veteran homelessness is down significantly since the launch of the Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness in 2010. Since 2010, nearly 230,000 Veterans and their family members have been permanently housed, rapidly rehoused or prevented from falling into homelessness by VA's homelessness programs and targeted housing vouchers provided by HUD. HVRP, through the Department of Labor, is the only federal program that focuses exclusively on employment of Veterans who are experiencing homelessness and perfectly complements the VA's efforts to keep vulnerable Veterans stably housed and thriving in the long term.
Employers interested in learning more about the Veteran Employment Network should contact Rhonda Rhodes at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 228-463-8887. For more information about these or any HRC programs, please visit www.hancockhrc.org.

Christmas has come and gone, but for one local charity, Christmas has come again!
On Monday January 25 Time 4 Children were presented with a cheque for £500 from Dizzydoos Events and Martha & Daisy's Emporium, both from Burgess Hill.
Having organised many successful pamper events, Karen Taylor from Dizzydoos Events, decided to turn her hand to organising a Christmas grotto for charity.
Joining forces with the team from Martha & Daisy's, Karen put together a spectacular Santa's grotto, complete with sleigh from Selfridges that the children could have their photo taken in.
We saw over 300 children visit the grotto during December and all came out with the widest smiles on their faces! The children were given a gift and a 'NICE' certificate from Santa. The overall feedback from parents was hugely positive with many saying it was the best grotto they had ever been to.
Time 4 Children are hugely grateful for Karen's support and we would like to thank her and the team at Martha & Daisy's for organising, sponsoring and hosting this wonderful event. We would also like to thank the local companies that donated goods and services. Our thanks also go to Santa and the elves.
These funds will directly support Time 4 Children to help young people with emotional upset or behavioural problems, providing them with a listening ear and individual, non directive play sessions.

Dalton Attig
Audio Production , 2016
The Illinois Institute of Art — Schaumburg
I am very interested in the contrast that is created between the traditional sound of the orchestra and the non-traditional sound of the modern instruments. Dalton Attig Bachelor of Science in Audio Production, 2016 , The Illinois Institute of Art — Schaumburg
What was the inspiration for your work?
My inspiration for this piece, and most of my other music for that matter, is the massive sounding orchestral music featured in many Hollywood films and video games. A common aspect of this kind of music is to incorporate non-orchestral elements, such as synthesizers or ethnic instruments, into the score. I am very interested in the contrast that is created between the traditional sound of the orchestra and the non-traditional sound of the modern instruments. In particular, I tried to create my own unique texture for this work by blending the orchestra with the sound of mallet percussion (xylophone, vibraphone, etc.) and Bulgarian choir. While I am still learning the nuances of writing in this style, I am proud of this piece because I believe it is a good representation of a style that is unique to me.
What we are seeing in your work and how did you create it?
This track was created entirely through MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) inside of Pro Tools. MIDI is capable of a lot of things, but it is most commonly used to create music digitally because it allows the composer to write music without the need of live musicians. I want to take a moment to mention that, although it is amazing that music can be created today entirely in the digital realm, that does not mean that I think live musicians are no longer necessary. MIDI is a great tool that makes the writing process of music much easier, but it is not a replacement for real musicians. When writing the piece, I first started off by coming up with several melodies and chord progressions that I thought would work well. I also thought about what kind of textures I wanted to create through the use of non-traditional instruments. Once I had some ideas that I thought would transpire into something worth pursuing, I began notating the music in MIDI and assigning instruments to the particular parts I had written. As I progressed, I added more parts for other instruments to play in moments of the piece that I thought were lacking and the final product gradually came together.

NEW Al Wurood International School, Jeddah and Al Khozama International School, Dammam, justify their vision of becoming world class learning community promoting human excellence through pioneering process of innovations and unique models for inspiring others in educational arena.
The recently concluded and newly introduced educational programmes speak volumes about their mettle.
Outward Bound Programs (OBP)
Al Khozama International School, Dammam and New Al Wurood International School, Jeddah offers exciting outward-bound residential programs every year for boys and girls separately.
The OBP organized by the schools last week in Al Baha helped the children to explore the nature, learn about the flora and fauna, develop a sense of adventure and above all, inculcate interpersonal skills in them. In addition to this, they were exposed to a number of group activities and leadership training sessions under the supervision of teachers and experts in a residential setup to improve their self-management skills and life skills.
Visit to The heritage village of Thee Ain in Al-Baha was of immense historical value. Students had a marvelous opportunity to explore the well-preserved and authentic site comprised a distinctive cultural and natural landscape and distinct model of human adaptation to the natural environment.
Activities related to various subjects based on the curriculum were the other attractions of the camp. Trekking was one of the most enjoyable activities that students on adventure liked to indulge in. They saw it as a great bet for to keep their hearts happy, healthy and agile.
Scouts and Guides 17th National Jamboree —Mysuru, India.
Scouts and Guides of New Al Wurood and Al Khozama had the privilege of attending National Scouts Jamboree at Mysuru from Dec. 29 to Jan. 4. About 25,000 Scouts and Guides from India and another 2,500 from the neighboring countries along with accompanying Scoutmasters attended the great event! Contingents of New Al Wurood and Al Khozama brought back home extensive friendship, superior leadership skills and memories that will last a lifetime.
The adventure area of the Jamboree swarmed with participants who wanted to test their strengths and mettle. They were thrilled after taking part in the adventure activities and passionately recollected strenuous rope walking and barbed wire crawl.
Scouts and guides of both the schools had the privilege of attending the International Jamboree in Japan in 2015.
Rajya Puraskar and Rastrapathi Puraskar Awards
Nine Scouts and four Guides from New Al Wurood International School and two Scouts and three Guides from Al Khozama have been honored with Rajya Puraskar Award. They attended the test for the highest award, Rastrapathi Puraskar by Bharat Scouts and Guides, New Delhi which is simply an outstanding record as this achievement is unparalleled in the whole kingdom. The awards are the fruits of their hard work, dedication, discipline and recognition of their excellent work in the field of Social Service and Community Work.
Bunnies — the kiddie's version of Scouting
Bunnies is the kiddie's version of Scouts and Guides Program. The Bunnies boys and girls would become Cubs and Bulbuls between 7–10 years of age and later Scouts and Guides respectively. The specially carved out programs help the children involve in progressive discovery, acceptance of responsibility, and training towards the development of character, acquisition of competence, self- reliance, dependability, and capacities to cooperate and to lead. This is included as a part of the regular school curriculum so as to impart the life skills to the children of primary classes.
Cubs and Bulbuls
Both Al Wurood and Al Khozama believe Scouting is one of the greatest character factories and consciously yoke together different segments of scouting. They launched Cubs and Bulbuls program, the progressive advancement in scouting, designed to satisfy the needs of the students of age group between 5–10 years.
School level camps of the Cubs and Bulbuls are conducted to achieve the goals of scouting in which opportunities are provided to the Cubs and bulbuls to enjoy the specially carved out activities.

I am a full time Windows user but also a part time Linux goer.
I have tried many distros, including the popular Ubuntu, but also came back to PCLinuxOS in the end. I couldn't come to terms with Ubuntu because I didn't like GNOME.
I am planning to switch to Linux as soon as it is ready for my computing needs. I currently have PCLOS installed but don't use it that much, just keeping it there as a way to recover my important files when Windows goes crazy.
A few things that stop me from hopping to Linux full time include lack of support for Shockwave player (it's Adobe's problem, I know) and font rendering (two things that I can come up with).
My question is: are you using PCLinuxOS and what is your impression? As I haven't tried any new distros for 2 years, are there any other distros that I should take a gander at? I've been checking distrowatch.com and there are too many, I can't try them all.

Common chicory, Cichorium intybus, Is a somewhat woody, perennial herbaceous plant of the dandelion family, usually with bright blue flowers, rarely white or pink.
Many varieties are cultivated for salad leaves, chickens (blanched buds), or roots (var. sativum), which are baked, ground, and used as a coffee substitute and additive.
It is also grown as a forage crop for livestock. It lives as a wild plant on roadsides in its native Europe, and is now common in North America, China, and Australia, where it has become widely naturalized.
"Chicory" is also the common name in the United States for curly endive (Cichorium endivia); these two closely related species are often confused
Common chicory is also known as blue daisy, blue dandelion, blue sailors, blue weed, bunk, coffeeweed, cornflower, hendibeh, horseweed, ragged sailors, succory, wild bachelor's buttons, and wild endive. (Note: "Cornflower" is commonly applied to Centaurea cyanus.) Common names for varieties of var. foliosum include endive, radicchio, Belgian endive, French endive, red endive, Sugarloaf, and witloof (or witlof).
When flowering, chicory has a tough, grooved, and more or less hairy stem, from 30 to 100 cm (10 to 40 in) tall. The leaves are stalked, lanceolate and unloved. The flower heads are 2 to 4 cm (0.79 to 1.6 in) wide, and usually bright blue, rarely white or pink. Of the two rows of involucral bracts, the inner is longer and erect, the outer is shorter and spreading. It flowers from July until October. The achenes have no purpose (feathery hairs), but do have toothed scales on top.

This video went viral, I saw it in a different blog and comments about this women were not pretty. Glad she was caught, now she'll spend time thinking about her stupidity.
I've had packages stolen off of my porch and finally installed video cameras to monitor activity. I recommend others do the same to rid our city of these types of scum.
Thanks, neighbor. Being retired, I'm usually home, keeping an eye out for any suspicious behavior in my neighborhood specially when I hear delivery trucks in the area, I become more alert, seeing where the delivery was made and occasionally making sure a package is still there or has been retrieved by the homeowner.I'm going to keep this video, and if I see this woman, I'll phone the police.

One thing I've been noticing from going out lately is that the hottest girls are always with someone that they are friends with and know really well but they are not as hot or good looking as the main girl itself.
What happens is if you go up to some girls who are maybe 5's to 6's9this is out of 10 of course), and chat with them, get them giggling, etc. From there, a hot girl, maybe an 8-9 walks up and introduces herself to you. Believe it or not, a lot of hot girls roll with less attractive girls. From there on you already have the group's comfort and appreciation so it is easy to isolate the hot girl from there.
If you had rolled up to a couple less than attractive girls and said "You seem fun, I just had to say hi." You would be chatting back and forth, when a hot 8.9 came up. This may or may not be their friend but to any of them that have been watching you from a distance and observing that you are a nice guy will be a willing participant to engage in a conversation with you.
Now could this have worked had I waited until the 8.9 was already in the set? Of course. But I've found it to be far easier to attract a girl if you hit the set before she arrives. You've already won over her friends at this point. Even if you haven't won over her friends it can still work well if you're already in the set. Sometimes, girls who weren't that interested, and a third girl came up who was interested causes controversy and if her friends leave, she may end up making out at the bar with you..
On a more general note, you should be playfully bantering with all types of women. Throughout your day, you should be bringing joyful interactions to as many people as possible. The fat girl serving you at Burger King? Make her smile. You don't have to outright flirt of course, but just a little playful misinterpretation can help the day. People, including yourself, like to feel good. Don't forget guys that you are not perfect as well and all women know this for a fact. If you thionk you are then you're in for a rude awakening. Make it real.
Bar advice. This is just a little help for those that need to find women and to approach them. It is not really what I do myself but it is the reality. I welcome your comments dearly and if you think that this doesn't work or if you say that you don't 'let' the 'other' girls become your friend (I don't mean all ladies), then you are lying to yourselves. Confidence lacks in all human beings. Man and woman.

This year's honour went to Massimiliano Scotti of Gelateria Vero Latte in Vigevano, northern Italy, for his original flavour "Il mio primo vero latte" (My first real milk). Scotti reached the European finals, held in Florence's piazzale Michelangelo on September 14 to 17, 2017, after winning the Milan leg of the contest.

Some more good news this morning -- one of the wild ducklings just hatched, and another seems to be on the way out of its egg. Much excitement around here and marvelling at how very, very small our new housemate is. We'll let it dry out and fluff up and see if we can determine what kind of duck it is.
Tom had pretty much written them off, because we weren't sure how long the duck nest had sat without the mother on the eggs, and then there was the problem of Tom's friend, a machinery contractor, having to remove the eggs from incubator #1 and sending them along to us to put in incubator #2. All very haphazard. I had set August 4 as a deadline, allowing for a 28-day hatching period, after which we'd have to discard anything unhatched. Sometimes delicate things are much more forgiving than we expect. Thank goodness.

Velcade round two and thoughts on those herbs
And now about those herbs. First, please understand that I love my doctor and think very highly of him and his knowledge and experience in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). While I can appreciate those of you who endorse more traditional medicine, I must say that my experience these past months, at least with this disease,makes me feel like a guinea pig. THe treatments have really not made much progress against the disease, but they certainly have hit me hard in other ways--such as wiping out my immune system and putting a strain on my kidneys. When I came down with the "crud", i.e., RSV, the baby virus, I got angry, as I know that I got that because of my compromised immune system, which is a direct result of my chemo. There have been times when I have certainly felt that the cure was going to get me before the disease did. I now understand the comments made by a couple of my doctors, that you have to be strong to survive this disease. What they meant is you have to be strong enough to endure the treatment regimes.
We all know that our bodies can heal themselves--witness the broken bones that have mended and the gaping flesh wounds that have healed. The same process can occur within my blood stream. Admittedly the herbal treatments don't have a lot of scientfic backup, but I blame the medical establishment for much of that. Linus Pauling is a great example. For those who are not familiar with him, he was a chemist, who won two nobel prizes--one for chemistry and one for peace. He did much research on megadoses of Vit. C as a treatment for cancer. He documented his results, presented it to numerous clinics, hospitals and med schools, and generally met with rejection and often ridicule. Having read a couple of his books, I believe he has legitimate scientific backup for his conclusions, but the medical community just doesn't want to believe it. (I did talk to my doctor about megadosing Vit. C, and although he did not discount its potential to help me, he thought it would be too hard on my kidneys--which are hit by my MM--but then so did most of the chemo he gave me.) I use this as an example and admit that most herbs don't have the scientific backup. That being said, there are MM survivors who have rejected traditional treatment and beaten the disease--my friend who referred me to the herbalist as well as another who wrote a book about his naturalisitic approach--"Medical Mutiny". The other problem is that most herbal approaches are taken only as a last resort--when all else has failed. One wonders what the results would be if it were a treatment of first resort. I started trying to figure out what nutrition could do for me in this struggle about 2 1/2 months ago and became very frustrated. For every wholistic approach, there was a harsh critic from the medical community and vice versa. I wish they would work more closely together instead of trying to trump one another. Simplistically, I feel that since my immune system is currently incapable of eradicating this cancer, herbs that can enhance my immune system function might present the possibility of increasing my body's ability to fight the cancer.
So, how do I answer my dilemna? I have decided to forgo the herbs for the first velcade cycle (2 weeks) to see what my numbers are while solely on velcade. Depending on the results, I may, or may not, restart the herbs. I will tell my doctor what I am doing. I am going to continue to take one of the products, which is a pulverized rice grain powder, as it really isn't an herb, but made from a natural food source. So, thanks for all the input and I'll keep you all informed. I really enjoyed all the thoughts and comments. What an interesting group you are! (and Arlene, thanks for the PDR reference, I am on it!) Love to all, Dan

Dear Dan,
Wow, what a good blog! And yes, I too enjoyed reading about everyone's take on herbs. I congratulate you on your decision to forgo them for the first two weeks, and should the results of your velcade-taking not meet your expectations, to start on them again -- that's what I would have done. Bon courage!
I can understand your nurse's reluctance to see you back at the office, but, on the other hand, it would give you morally such a boost.
And since you seem to have the strength, why not?
Our Marseillais friends are arriving for a few days this morning. Joe will be obliged to speak only French for the next few days. At least it will be less painful for him than six years ago when he really had trouble understanding Georges when he would start 'a toute allure' (speaking very, very quickly) one of his political tirades... Bises to you all, Sigun.

Wonderful decision.
And of course, I thought more about it too, and I read all the blog answeres, really interesting indeed, and would like, if you don't mind, just add one more fact, that unfortunately or fortunately is true for myself: Herbs are great, but without the insuline, my diabetes would already have killed me for sure.
That's the dilemma, between science and Homeopatie/Herbs.
Therefore I only hope YOU find the best for YOURSELF and WE here, on the blog, or all your friends who do not get on the blog, all of us will support your decision whichever that might be.
Referring to the crud I would like to add: ok, I really understand you getting upset that you were caught by a Baby-Virus, BUT, if the increasing numbers of the white cells were due to the crud, well maybe that's what you needed. It gave you a boost, more energy, so now you can deal better with the velcade.
Go to the office, or stay out of it? Good question again. But if the nurse was so against it, why don't you take a longer walk every day instead, or start doing Sudokus, or become a Crossword king, or last not least, the most important: Start writing your book!!!
Just trying to find ideas that keep you busy, without stressing you.

Good Morning Dan. I have been following the comments regarding your dilemma regarding traditional v. alternative treatment and I must say you are very brave to let so many people give you opinions!! But I did read that you said that you would do what is best for you. As it always should be! Ingrid has put the subject in a very solid prospective, I think, without her traditional treatment, insulin; her diabetes would have killed her. On a personal level if we did not treat Rebecca's ADD with traditional medicine she would not be as successful as she is in school. It is a combination of tactics traditional and alternative, that has helped her academically and socially. I do believe there needs to be a marriage of traditional and alternative treatment, but as you know all too well the traditional side has too many "egos" and will not always want to play in the sandbox with the others. I am a firm believer in alternative medicine since I have been the recipient of good results. I, like the others support your decision to wait on the herbs and see how the next phase plays out.
Again you are so lucky to have so many people sending you such positive thoughts and encouragement, that no matter what path you take, the support that is there for you, Susan, Catherine and Julia is so inspiring! Take care. Love the Seals.

Dear Dan,
Here I am again ... always lurking but not always responding. I have been reading all of the comments on the herbal remedies, your comments regarding them and what your doctor has felt.
I have to say that over the past few years I have changed the way that I think about things ... one being herbal remedies and what they can do for you. During our quest to start a family the doctors prescribed a number of drugs whether it be in the form of a pill or daily injections that I performed. The end result ... Michael James. However, in the process I have meet up with an old friend who is an acupuncturist and I recieved treatments after we lost the twins and when trying to concieve and during my pregnancy with Michael. After we lost the twins, I was willing to do anything to get pregnant and stay that way ... for 9 months anyway. So, I began acupuncture once a week and my doctor was right on board working with my acupuncturist. I have recently started back up with her for a number of different reasons and she has suggested that I start with herbs along with weekly acupuncture treatments.
Long story short ... I went for my weekly treatment today and talked to her for a bit about you and what you are going thru. She had told me that the herbs that I am on can react with other meds and when I am not feeling 100%. Ie. if I have a stuffy nose it will get stuffier. So she said that there could be a recation with the herbs that you were taking and your chemo. She asked where you lived and when I said Denver she asked if it was near Boulder. She says Boulder is the capital of acupuncture. There is a man there Bob Flaws who owns a company caleed Blue Poppy. This is where she purchases all of the herbs for her clients. She said he is amazing and may be a resource for you as he is highly trained in the field. She also said that he has a clinic in Boulder for acupuncture and hires only the best. She said that acupuncture is amazing during chemo ... it helps to keep the blood cell counts stable and helps deal with fatigue and nausea. I can vouch for the nausea ... mornign sickness was gross but acupuncture was amazing for that and my sleep. She sent me home with a "sticker" - it had a small needle on the inside and I could place it in the correct spots for nausea and insomnia and they were a lifesaver.
Take the information and use it if you can or wish to ... again his name is Bob Flaws and the number for his herbal company is 18004879296 but she said that they can hook you up with the clinic if you are interested in the acupuncture. She also said that you can probably speak directly to him regarding the herbs.
Hope that the information is of some assistance to you.

Hey Dan,
Just checking in. I wanted to let you know I've had great healing meditations for you both on Friday and this morning. I hope you're doing OK. I could clearly see you in my meditations glowing with radiant light so hopefully that made it to you!
Hang in there and holler if you need anything.
Love, Patty

Dear Dan,
I'm afraid I've been lurking as well. You are dealing with all the alternatives so wisely. You've gotten some great advice on the treatment regiments, and I don't have anything to add on that score. I would like to point out that, aside from being important to you, I am sure that your visits to the office give your partners and staff a great deal of joy. I know this because I remember how great it was for your brothers and sisters of the bar to see you at the board meeting. You have superb judgment and your own instincts will let you determine whether, how often, and for how long you can be there. Dan, you are going to beat this cancer. Keep up the good fight. I continue to keep you in my prayers.

- Lynne said...
Hi Dan,
I've been thinking a lot about you and am hoping the chemo isn't having too many adverse effects while doing its job...killing those cancer beasts. Hang in there!

My first visit to Kenya was in 1993, several years before Eagles Wings was formed as a charity. This was my first experience of Africa, and it cultivated in me a deep love and affection for the Kenyan people.
Having made over 30 separate visits from the UK to villages and towns all over the country, we have been able to develop friendships and relationships of trust, that are so essential in the delivery of aid and establishing good projects.
Over nine years ago, Eagles Wings successfully built its first home for girls in Elburgon, in the Rift Valley region with our long term friend, Bishop Mark Kariuki, The girls had previously been living in a rambling slum area called Kasarani and needed rescue from unstable, unsafe and abusive living conditions. 40 girls were carefully selected by village elders and community leaders, as being the most vulnerable, and were transferred to the completed home in 2004.
Committed to long term partnership and the desire for each project to be self sufficient, Eagles Wings bought 5 acres of farmland near to the girls home, which is the source of fresh maize, potatoes, carrots, kale and beans for the girls and staff, and fodder for goats and cows. The land has potential for additional cash crops and a study is in progress to put up greenhouses to grow tomatoes for sale. The Elburgon Girls Home in Kenya has become the flagship of Eagles Wings' endeavours over the last 10 years.
After the tribal clashes of 2008, Eagles Wings was able to respond quickly with the supply of emergency aid: blankets, food, cooking oil, stoves and tents - to help the thousands of families who were displaced, and lost almost everything they had. With 'on the ground' feedback by mobile phone from the IDP camps, and through trusted community leaders already known to us, our aid became a life saver to families living in Kericho, Kapsabet, Kiambaa (Burnt Forest), Eldoret and Nakuru.
Each visit to Kenya opens up new areas of opportunity to target specific aid to the most needy, particularly those who attend clinics and hospitals. A small amount goes such a long way and Eagles Wings has provided medical assistance to Kericho district and Elburgon town hospitals. Donations from local pharmacies, GP practices and hospitals in the UK are greatly valued.
Eagles Wings is pro-active in localities where the larger NGOs generally do not visit but where we can be sure that the funds and projects are managed within our guidelines. The charity is always looking for new ideas to improve self sufficiency and income generation through local employment.

This week, Kickstarter has announced they've reached 5 millions financial contributors to creative projects on the platform. Soon, the total contributions will reach 1 billion dollar.
Kickstarter : a judge, an investor and an audience
By celebrating the most creative and artistic projects, Kickstarter has transformed the creative economy, with now dancers, film-makers, indie video game designers, photographers, entrepreneurs turning to the platform to validate and launch their projects, giving it the role of judge, investor, as well as one of the best audience you can find online.
A breakdown shows that most projects get between $1k and $10k:
A New Renaissance?
With dozens of successes everyday, Kickstarter is now the go-to platform if you want to sponsor and support art projects, reminiscent of italian princes who kickstarted the Renaissance. It's fair to say that without Kickstarter, we wouldn't have a new age of golden video games development, hardware startups are now trendy, and thousands of creatives wouldn't have worked seriously on their project.
For instance, check out the top 10 crowdfunding campaigns:
Each team behind those 10 project admitted publicly they weren't able to find support for their projects from institutional investors or othe groups traditionally backing creative projects. Now it's up to the community to fund directly projects!
Take away : the beginning of a revolution
Year over year, crowdfunding grows 81% every year so it's fair to say we'll see more inspiring projects and more successes. Why not use the platform as a all-in-one solution? For funding, marketing, distribution, and also as a community forum.

It's been a few months now and I wanted to check in with you and update you all regarding my Patreon campaign.
We're currently 5 backers strong and I'm bringing in about $56 a month. So far the money has been used to renew my PO Box, purchase mailing supplies for backer rewards, and to help cover unexpected costs to repair my blog while it keeps crashing.
We haven't reached my first goal of $100 for a camera microphone but I feel positive that we'll get there soon.
One big goal I'd like to accomplish this year is upgrading my laptop. The keyboard is failing and that's made things very difficult as a blogger that writes a lot. To help get to this goal faster I plan to up my Patreon-only video content and increase awareness on my social media that I do, in fact, have a campaign. (I know it's easy to forget things like that!)
One way you could help is if you shared my campaign with others or considered becoming a backer yourself. If you're not able to do this then another option is by sharing my videos, interacting with my social media posts, and leaving comments on my blog. These sort of actions boost my reputation and appeals to potential sponsors which means I have a chance at snagging bigger campaigns which in turn helps pay to keep things going.
Woo, that was a lot of explanation! Thank you so much for everything you've done so far. It means more to me than you'll ever know! 😀

Carry your kid's love of all things STEM into the summer months with a few toys and activities specific to this time of year. Whether it's the coolest new toy or a traditional bonfire favorite, all things science, technology, engineering, and math can be tweaked to fit right into the next few monthly seamlessly.
This isn't Goldilocks and the Three Bears. GoldieBlox is an excellent new adventure seeking book series with STEM toys to fit the story. GoldieBlox Golden Package follows the kid inventor into her clubhouse as Maven Gifts seeks to inspire girls into becoming the next generation's best engineers.
At-Home Summer Science Camp
Little Bins for Little Hands is always at it with the latest in STEM activities for kids. This Little Bins Science Camp gives ideas to pack an entire week full of science camp-like experiments for kids of every age. Pick and choose from a few of the suggestions, or put together a full camp experience from the comfort of your own home.
What could be a better inspiration for STEM than NASA? And, what could be a better Summer treat than campfire s'mores? Put the two together in NASA's Climate Kids S'mores experiment. Create your very own solar oven and pig out on some sweet treats.
Create a Catapult
While this specific activity from Frugal Fun 4 Boys uses candy corn, we're going to suggest some things a little more suited for hot weather (and easily accessible during the next few months). Using spoons, popsicle sticks, pencils, and a few other key materials create catapults to fling blueberries, grapes, or even a few Cheerios at each other.
This activity set isn't just about coding, and it helps kids learn to problem solve. Help young kids create a maze for their robot mouse to solve in his attempt at finding the cheese. What's cool about this one, the mouse has two speeds so feel free to take the Code & Go Robot out to the driveway and see if he can find his way.
DIY Projector
Forget the expensive gadget. Have a family movie night under the stars with this DIY Projector from The STEM Laboratory. Use a magnifying glass and some everyday household items, pick one of your favorite family movies on Netflix and relax on warm summer nights.
Make Your Own Toothpaste
Is getting your kids to brush their teeth every night during the summer a difficult task? Here's a suggestion: Let them make their own toothpaste following the instructions from Playdough to Plato and then give them 25 points on ChoreMonster for using it to brush their teeth twice a day!
Forget everything you know about STEM and turn it into something fun for your kids this summer. All it takes is a little imagination and a whole lot of creativity to turn long hot days into learning infused excitement.

What is the Difference?
One of the most common questions we receive is will our bags and rolls work with the FoodSaver® vacuum sealers, and the answer is YES. Our products can completely replace Food Saver bags and FoodSaver rolls in your kitchen. We proudly feature the ULTRA line of vacuum sealing bags and rolls. They are guaranteed to work with your vacuum sealer or your money back.
