Giving money to beggars who are obviously junkys
what's the protocol on this?
I usually ignore them unless they ask me. I gave this guy a quid and half a cigarette when he asked me for a drag and said he needed a pound for "his very, very, last big issue". Gotta admire him for trying.
He's gonna get his fix anyway, right? Nothing's gonna stop him until we get these people help. I was just speeding up his night, hopefully.
This guy was pretty adorable
he didn't even have a big issue, or a big issue badge. As soon as I gave him money the whole "big issue" issue disappeared.
I guess
it depends what your philosophy is really. If you think someone would have done it anyway so it doesn't matter, or if you think "Be the change that you want to see in the world". I probably wouldn't have but that probably has more to do with personal guilt than anything else.
due to my ham fisted clicking on google
Homeless person
or girl in Primark who asked for money to buy a bag. I know who I'd give money to, and it's not the latter.
i stop and talk to homeless people
quite a lot. i know my big issue seller by name and we always have a chat and occasionally i'll take him cups of tea.
it must be fucking awful, can you imagine? i mean, i complain all the time about how cold i am but i'm not sleeping in a doorway am i? it actually upsets me. half the time it's just sheer bad luck that has forced people onto the streets. sure sometimes drugs are involved but who are we to judge?
/hippie rant over x
my local big issue seller
seems like a lovely chap. don't really know him, but we always say hello to each other. he sells it at the entrance to london bridge station. i don't know his situation or his history, but he comes across as pretty clearheaded.... i sometimes see him around the area after he's finished selling it for the night, and he doesn't strike me as someone who spends the proceeds on alcohol or drugs. guess i've no way of knowing, but i guess it's not exactly my business either. i wish him well, anyway.
there was another guy i used to see him with, who i spoke to a few times, and he was a really interesting guy, very funny and unusual. first time i met him he was coming out of a pub with a big orange flower tucked behind his ear and only one shoe. last i saw him, he was pretty ill, on crutches. i hope he's ok now, but from how he looked... i fear he may not be. :(
To be honest
if my few quid means the difference between someone getting a fix and spending the night cold and in agony, I'll give them the money. They're still in need, just in a different way. I mean, it's not like I'm rich - I live on £20 a week, for goodness sake. But it makes me sad when you give someone a fiver and their response is to shout thanks at you until you've disappeared out of sight. We can all spare more than we think we can. "They'll spend it on drugs" has always felt like looking for excuses to me.
Beggars confuse me
I know that if i was in their position i would mean to fight as hard as i could to get myself out of it, to strive for a better life (or any life at all) and to be ashamed of sitting in puddles taking handouts. But, deep down, i know that, realistically, i'd give up after one full day of being cold, curl up in the road, caked in dung and dog piss and just weep my last remaining grains of self-respect away into the drains. Tough one. Whose job is it to sweep these poor buggers up and put them somewhere where they can turn back into humans? I don't think it's mine, but they clearly need help from someone, nobody chooses their lifestyle. Aaaarrrhh *confused*
Pretty typical DiS attitude.
Everyone here seems to think its their duty to do as much as they can to help people. Obviously that's something to be admired, but to be fair, I have to question your motives. Not you personally, ALL OF YOU.
theres a guy who begs for money outside shepherds bush empire alot who had a joint behind his ear once. We call him Mr Rozario after our old PE teacher.
We have a Big Issue man
who sits on a wheelchair. Big fat guy, he's about 50.
He has an AWFUL stammer, and so you can hear him all the time shouting the same thing:
"Hiya lad/love, I'm-a sellin' tha Big Issueshananananananannananananananannananana."
Everyone thinks he's mental so they just walk by. I've bought two from him.
I don't give to people who beg, as a rule. First of all, my family and me aren't rich enough to spend money on people who aren't doing anything. Second of all, I wouldn't pay for heroin or whatever it is they want, so there's absolutely no chance I'm gonna buy him any.
I hate it when they come over with their blatant lies. "Alright mate, I need to get to the hospital. Give me a pound for the bus."
I've never given them the money, out of pride. I'm not willing to be intimidated by some filthy creature to feed his habits. I feel like kicking their faces into mash when they do it. ARGH.
the bit about the hospital
reminds me of this beggar I've been approached by a couple of times. He comes up and says that he needs money to get to hospital and then shows you his massively fake cut up arm with fake blood and prosthetic gaping wound. It is kind of ace and makes me think he deserves to do well on the back of the "scam" (although it would amaze me if people believed it was a real injury).
i love it when they ask you for really weird specific amounts
some chavs once asked me for 7p
what the fuck?
It's a deliberate move on their part.........
you're unlikely to have such a specific amount on you at the time, so if you stop and have to count out the coins in your pocket they'll:
1) Know how much you have
2) Nick it or attempt to guilt trip you into giving them a pound or two (the 7p target having been swiftly dispensed with)

The heresy of Dr Dee : being edited from the most private documents of Dr John Dee, astrologer and consultant to Queen Elizabeth
All talk is of the End-time ... and the dead are rising. At the end of the sunless summer of 1560, black rumor shrouds the death of the one woman who stands between Lord Robert Dudley and marriage to the young Queen Elizabeth. Did Dudley's wife, Amy, die from an accidental fall in a deserted house, or was it murder? Even Dr John Dee, astrologer royal, adviser on the Hidden and one of Dudley's oldest friends, is uncertain. Then a rash promise to the Queen sends him to his family's old home on the Welsh Border in pursuit of the Wigmore Shewstone, a crystal credited supernatural properties.

Meiyun Lin, Larry W. Horowitz, Richard Payton, Arlene M. Fiore, Gail Tonnesen. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. DOI: 10.5194/acp-17-2943-2017.
Within the United States, ground-level ozone has been recognized since the 1940s as an air pollutant that is detrimental to public health. Ground-level ozone responds to varying global-to-regional precursor emissions and climate, with implications for designing effective U.S. air quality control policies under the lowered national air quality standard (70 ppb set in 2015). This study examines these conjoined processes with observations and global chemistry-climate model hindcasts (GFDL-AM3) over the course of 35 years, from 1980 to 2014.
Springtime ozone measured at Western U.S. national parks has increased by 0.2-0.5 ppb yr-1 over the past 20-25 years, despite stringent U.S. domestic emission controls. Notably, observations in the Denver metropolitan area show an ozone increase similar to remote rural sites. Many prior studies show that global models have difficulty simulating ozone increases measured at these sites. Focusing on days when the airflow is predominantly from the Pacific, the authors find that they can reconcile the ozone increases at Western U.S. sites from observations and GFDL model simulations. This finding lends confidence in the application of the GFDL model to attribute these observed ozone trends to specific sources.
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are an important class of air polluting chemical compounds, which react in the atmosphere to form ozone and acid rain. Rapid economic growth has led to a tripling of NOx emissions from Asia in the past 25 years. This study shows that rising Asian NOx emissions contribute as much as 65% to modeled springtime background ozone increases (0.3-0.5 ppb yr-1) over the Western U.S., outpacing ozone decreases attained via 50% U.S. domestic NOx emission controls. Methane increases over this period contribute only 15% of the Western U.S. background ozone increase. During summer, increasing Asian emissions approximately offset the benefits of U.S. emission reductions, leading to weak or insignificant observed ozone trends at Western U.S. rural sites. These new findings indicate that a global perspective is necessary when designing a strategy to meet U.S. ozone air quality objectives.
In contrast, in the Eastern U.S., surface ozone declined throughout its probability distribution following regional NOx emission controls in the last decade. The authors find that the ozone decreases were most pronounced in the Southeast, where the seasonal onset of biogenic hydrocarbon emissions from vegetation and NOx-sensitive ozone production occurs earlier than in the Northeast, implying that controlling NOx emissions will continue to provide long-term ozone air quality benefits in the Southeastern U.S. during all seasons. Without emission controls, the 95th percentile summertime ozone in the Eastern U.S. would have increased by 0.2-0.4 ppb yr-1 over 1988-2014 due to more frequent hot extremes and rising hydrocarbon emissions from vegetation. Regional NOx emission reductions also alleviated the ozone buildup during the recent heat waves of 2011 and 2012 relative to earlier heat waves (e.g., 1988; 1999). Continued implementation of U.S. NOx emission controls guards against rising pollution levels triggered either by climate change or by global emission growth.

Healthy Shopping Tip: A Dealbreaker You Can Spot A Mile Away [VIDEO]
A few weeks ago, I posted a blog about a food label DEALBREAKER. A dealbreaker is an ingredient so heinous and bad for you - that I don't even care what else is in that food product. If it contains the dealbreaker ingredient - that's all you need to know. Don't eat it, don't buy it - just walk away.
Today I'm talking about another kind of food label dealbreaker. This one isn't exactly one single ingredient - rather it's a whole collection of ingredients.
Check out the video to see what I'm talking about.
If You Can Count, You Can Avoid Unhealthy Food.
What's Good For The Food Isn't Always Good For YOU.
A lot of the time, manufacturers will add things to your food because it's very, very good for the food. Certain additives can make the food last longer on store shelves. Other substances help the food stay fresh-looking and colorful. This is all good - for the food. But, to your poor body, these substances are fake and unrecognizable. They are not found in nature and so your body doesn't quite know how to deal with them. This can put your liver in a real jam, and slowly start to gum up the works of your entire digestive system, leading to - you guessed it - weight gain and overall yuckiness.
Use Your All-Natural Noodle.
I don't know about you, but when I am making a salad dressing at home, for example, I don't normally add phosphoric acid, monosodium glutamate, and calcium disodium EDTA. I just don't keep those items in my pantry. Do you?
And though, I know, I know, manufacturers will swear up and down that all these bizarro, chemical-sounding ingredients are 'safe' - it just doesn't sit right with me to purposely eat additives and preservatives like that. Not when there are so many other options. As I demonstrate in the video, there ARE products that don't use all that junk - but you have to be willing to look on the labels and do a little comparison shopping.
You can also start doing a bit more cooking at home so that you are 100% certain of what you're eating.
What's the moral of this story? Please look at your food label and go for the product with the fewest ingredients and NO chemical-sounding ingredients. The end.
To your health!

Tottenham Hotspur welcome London rivals West Ham United to White Hart Lane in the Premier League on Saturday, and are favourites to get back to winning ways to confine the visitors to their seventh league defeat of the season, potentially sending them into the bottom-three depending on other results.
Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United
Premier League
November 19th 2016
Kick-off 17:30
Live on BT Sport 1 / BT Sport 1 HD
Home side Tottenham Hotspur find themselves fifth in the Premier League table with 21 points from 11 games this season, but have been guilty of racking up one too many draws in recent weeks. The Lilywhites have drawn their last four in the top-flight ahead of Saturday's clash with West Ham United, but have been more convincing on home soil which should give them more of a chance in turning things around.
Spurs have won three and drawn two of five games at White Hart Lane in the Premier League this season, and they have lost just once at home in this fixture since 1999. The poor form of West Ham United greatly boosts their chances of a first win in five too, and they could go third in the table if results go their way while United risk dropping into the drop zone with a defeat. Tottenham are 8/15 with Coral to win against West Ham.
As for the visitors, West Ham are just one place above the bottom-three, and no side have lost more away games than the Hammers ahead of this weekend's clash. Slaven Bilic's men are 17th in the table with 11 points from as many games and haven't beaten a side greater than 13th in the Premier League this season.
Two wins from their last nine away games sees West Ham in grave danger against an unbeaten Tottenham side boasting two wins from their last three home outings. And with the Hammers only scoring one or less goals in their last six against the best defence in the league, Mauricio Pochettino's men should get the better of United.
With Tottenham boasting a watertight defence in the Premier League and enjoying a 2.2 points-per-game average on home soil, they should have too much for a West Ham side having scored just four goals in their last six and having lost four of their five away games. Tottenham are 8/15 with Coral to win against West Ham as a result.

How do I find teaching jobs overseas?
As an educator, you have a heart to serve your students and community. As a Christian, you have a desire to serve the Lord. TeachNext provides a service that lets you combine the two, connecting you with international Christian schools and available teaching jobs.
Making the decision to teach overseas can seem daunting. But it doesn't have to be! Here was one person's experience.
Teaching Jobs Overseas: TeachNext In Action
When I was finishing my teaching program and starting the process of looking for teaching jobs I knew God was moving in my heart to teach oversees, but I had no idea where. I spent many nights staring at the world map on my bedroom wall, praying God would show me where to go.
When a friend told me about TeachNext, I was surprised to find so many Christian schools around the world (many who had salaried positions) looking for teachers. TeachNext provided a network and way for me to connect with many schools across the globe. It provided a network and way for me to connect with many schools across the globe.
After a couple of months, I was on my way to Jakarta, Indonesia, to teach Language Arts at an international school for two years. Teaching overseas was truly a life-changing experience. I was stretched and grew in ways that I wouldn't have if I'd stayed in comfort in the States. I learned lessons about crossing cultures, innovation in teaching, and developing Gospel-centered teaching practices.
More than that, my time in Indonesia opened my eyes more to God's heart for the world, the lost and broken. I'm very thankful for this life-changing experience and the lifelong cross-cultural friendships that I developed.
If you feel God is calling you to teach overseas, don't be afraid to move forward! Start your journey with TeachNext.

The Major's Pretty Baby Face Chapter 5
Date: 10/14/2015, Categories: Fiction, Author: beagle9690, Rating: 20, Source: sexstories.com
The Major's Pretty Baby Face-Chapter 5 Beagle9690 December 2013 It was bitterly cold on this February 3rd morning. It was much too cold for butterflies....or so I thought as I walked outside bundled up warm and toasty in my soft and luxurious knee length cashmere coat that was lined with red silk, including the voluminous hood; my birthday gift from Matthew. I was also wearing a red cashmere hat, scarf and mittens. They were a nice splash of color to the creamy white of my coat. These were not the only gifts from him....the most precious gift of that birthday can't be seen when I'm wearing it. Matthew was waiting outside in the Land Rover with the engine running. He went outside first to scrape the ice from the windows and brush off the snow and get it warm for me. It was a typical Western New York winter day with high winds and lake effect blowing and drifting snow. Matthew had returned from a weekend drill the night before. I spent Saturday at the spa and fitness center with Mary, exercising and getting pampered with massages and facials from top to bottom, including a pedicure. I spent Sunday sketching and painting or just lounging around and listening to music. I have plenty of time to look my best for Matthew; frumpy and disheveled is not tolerated and may result in a spanking with my wood ruler. There is little mundane housework for me to do. I no longer have to clean an entire house by myself or do yard work; Matthew does most of the yard work for exercise. I no ...

World's Greatest PB&J
Remember how you spent those summer days of your childhood, sitting on the floor in your living room, watching the mid-day cartoons and enjoying that oh-so-satisfying snack of a cold glass of milk accompanying your Mom's great peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Well, now you can turn back time and relive one of those wonderful moments of your youth with this great recipe for the World's Best PB&J!
• several slices of bread: my preference is a thickly sliced, fresh, soft white Italian bread, but some traditionalists insist on the favorite white bread of their childhood — Millbrook or Wonder; for a low-fat alternative, try a low-calorie soft whole grain bread
• peanut butter: I recommend Jif Reduced-Fat Creamy, for best overall flavor and consistency; although some people prefer Crunchy, I feel the crunch gets in the way of savoring the true peanut butter flavor
• jelly: my current top pick is Trader Joe's Organic Blueberry Preserves, though traditionalists might opt for Welch's classic Concord Grape jelly
• cold milk: fresh skim, 1%, 2% or whole milk, or even light vanilla soy milk
• microwave oven
• butter knife
• napkin
Begin by taking two slices of bread from the loaf and opening them book-page fashion. That way, if the bread slices are in any way misshapen (because SOMEBODY scrunched the loaf on the way home from the grocery store!) or are asymmetrical, you will eliminate any chance of a peanut butter overlap that does not meet its jelly mate, or vice versa. Not only does such a misalignment mar the eventual flavor of the sandwich, but it can also lead to a wardrobe mishap, if the sandwich is the least bit runny.
Next, spread a generous amount of the peanut butter in a smooth, level and consistent layer across one slice of the bread (I prefer to start with the left slice as the peanut butter slice). Avoid tearing or bruising the bread on the knife pass. Over time and with practice, you'll be able to develop a deft sweep of your knife hand that provides the proper layer in a single pass. Whether you cut the crusts from your bread or not (purists can agree to disagree on this matter), you should always cover the bread from edge to edge to edge. No area of bread should be visible through any of the peanut butter layer!
Repeat this process in applying jelly to the second slice of bread (the right slice, or "jelly" slice). Again, remember to apply the jelly in a smooth, level and consistent layer from edge to edge to edge, while employing a deft sweep of knife to avoid any tearing or bruising of the bread slice. Like the peanut butter layer, the jelly layer should obscure from view all areas of bread!
Take each slice of bread tenderly into the palms of your respective hands, and slowly and gently clap the bread slices into one another, with all edges perfectly aligned. When finished, you should have a sandwich with a perfectly continuous rim of bread meeting bread, with no overlap or underlap.
Prior to the next step, have ready a tall, chilled glass of freshly poured milk of your choice.
Place a napkin in the center of your microwave oven and insert the completed sandwich, centered on the napkin. Microwave for no more than 30 seconds at 30% power. (Your microwave oven may be a different model with different power characteristics than my finely calibrated oven, so you may have to experiment a bit to get the ideal settings to produce an ideal sandwich. Experimenting is OK; more sandwiches!)
Remove the warmed sandwich from the microwave oven, and, orienting the sandwich to your preference (I favor jelly side up), take your first wondrous bite! Flash back to the days of your youth and the dreamlike experience of that unbeatable childhood snack!
If you prefer bite-size snacks, simply cut your completed World's Greatest PB&J into small squares. Pop one in your mouth, and YUM! (Almost as tasty as rickzworld!)
After a sandwich warming or two, your microwave oven may acquire the slight aroma of fresh World's Greatest PB&J, so be prepared to share sandwiches with the rest of your family, any visitors, and any neighbors within 500 yards, and their pets.

Nothing but the Truth
It's our duty to tell the truth, but we cannot motivate violence or argue for crime by doing so. If our language becomes dangerous, we don't have a right to use it without identifying ourselves and allowing for a safe defense. Its not unusual....just trying to have things our own way or trying to get what we want will bring us into conflict with others, but using anger to cause problems is illegal, and using the Internet for personal problems isn't safe. As the Internet becomes more important to our safety and health care, what we say online will be even more important than what we say to each other.
If your life is in danger, notify the police and do whatever you can to survive. In addition to refraining from suicidal tendencies, we also need to make a decision to live! Its not enough to stop killing ourselves. Here are a few tips from my experience: Survival Ground

I love learning about new ways to organize (or old ways that I have not yet implemented in my home) and I also love free things! So I was trilled when I ran across this blog called Simplified Saving and she had a link to get free Avery labels. I am currently working on my MAT certification for my home based daycare and have been using labels like crazy. I need to incorporate them in my file folders as well so these will really come in handy. Go check it out and get yourself a sample :)

Conclusion. Regional Security Architecture in Oceania: Quo Vadis?
- Pauline Chambers
- 3 years ago
- Views:
1 161 Conclusion Regional Security Architecture in Oceania: Quo Vadis? Carleton Cramer The Pacific Islands region was settled thousands of years ago. Starting in the sixteenth century and continuing through the nineteenth century, European and American explorers and traders colonized the region. By the turn of the twentieth century and onset of World War I, major external powers were ceding and acquiring Pacific territories through political compromise and necessity. World War II brought global notoriety to the Pacific Islands region through many famous and bloody battles, including the Solomon Islands Campaign, the Battle of the Coral Sea, and the Marshall Islands campaign. In the decades following WW II, the British, French and Americans used various remote Pacific Island locations to conduct atomic and nuclear testing. During this same time frame, the region rejected the yoke of colonialism and pursued self-determination in various forms, from independence to compact-protectorate type arrangements. Who then, from among the regional nation-states and the external powers with strategic interests in the region, should gather together to discuss twenty-first century security cooperation? And, just as importantly, on which security challenges should their limited time together be focused? As was suggested in the introduction, this book incorporates authored chapters as well as findings from a week-long workshop which brought together an inclusive group of Oceania officials, non-governmental organizations, and external powers. The workshop leveraged the outcomes of the
2 162 Regionalism, Security & Cooperation in Oceania Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) Leaders Summit on the regional strategic vision held in Palau, in July It provided a timely opportunity to engage the region following participants own assessment of the regional security architecture, and to discuss and prioritize areas where action and assistance could best be applied to enhance security governance. No topic was off limits, including the then pending internationally monitored elections in Fiji. Many passionate discussions continued far into the evening hours. Attendees start point was self-assessment of the effectiveness of Oceania s regional security architecture. Attendees identified key regional norms and values, as well as development challenges and opportunities to see how they shaped the regional security architecture. This effort, aided greatly by this book s authors and workshop presentations, contributed to rich workshop discussions that followed. The assessment process enabled further discussion of key questions associated with the future development and prosperity of Oceania. First, what were the required next steps for enhancing regional security architecture? Second, to the extent possible, what would be the metrics of success in enhancing the regional security architecture? During discussions, participants identified key issues for consideration. They noted that while recognizing diverse national interests across the Pacific, attendees desire a Pacific which is peaceful, stable, and prosperous; a region in which people live according to the universal rule of law, customs and traditions, and who value inclusivity, responsibility, respect and dignity. Attendees all expressed a desire to maintain traditional values, but to also ensure that traditional practices and norms adhered with current international norms. Participants expressed concern that donor money often brings donor values that may conflict with traditional values, principles and systems. There was broad consensus that outsiders do not necessarily understand how the region works and improving the understanding of international outsiders on local and regional values was necessary. Finding
3 Conclusion - Cramer 163 commonalities and similarities between traditional norms and international universal rights was identified as an important next step. Attendees focused on The Pacific Way inclusiveness, listening, consensus and non-confrontation as a valuable means for economic development, and reconciliation and peacebuilding. Inclusiveness at village, district and national levels was identified as crucial to addressing a host of economic and political security challenges. The Wantok system from Melanesia was highlighted as important in that decisions made today do impact relationships tomorrow. Attendees expressed a continuing common desire for regional solidarity to be achieved through consensus in the Pacific Way and, in this regard, recognized the necessity of improved communication and accountability between national and regional stakeholders. There was candid recognition that decision making at the regional level is significantly more difficult now that there are more member nations represented. Attendees recognized that economic interests, growth and development do in fact drive the security infrastructure, and that current mechanisms are failing to deal with these drivers. They cited problems that included uneven and growing economic gaps, taxation, transnational crime and the fundamental inability to meet requirements imposed by both trade and aid agreements. Participants also identified greater emphasis on human security and local, district and national economic planning as important links between regional security, development and sustainable growth. The week-long workshop was important from the perspective of both process and product. Intimate, small-group discussions allowed for transparent, mutually respectful discussion. Difficult issues concerning the role of external powers, the regional security architecture and comprehensive security policies were discussed with candor and passion. Three broad conclusions resulted from the event: First, there was a belief the current security architecture was capable of accommodating and reconciling potential challenges to regional stability,
4 164 Regionalism, Security & Cooperation in Oceania including the tension between extant regional structures and sub-regional groupings, such as the Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG) and recently formed Pacific Islands Development Forum (PIDF). Participants, to include senior Pacific Islands leaders, applauded the initiative of convening a workshop on this topic at a timely juncture in regional relations. The event facilitated a conciliatory atmosphere among several regional bodies that will enable closer cooperation and coordination in future efforts. Second, discussions highlighted the important role of larger external powers in the region and the need for greater dialogue between such powers and Pacific Island nations to enhance trust, confidence and transparency in regional security. For the United States, in particular, participants emphasized an increased diplomatic presence was more important for the Pacific Islands region than additional military activity. Third, attendees emphasized that enhancing the development of national security processes and documents is a way to generate greater political commitment and national ownership over regional security arrangements. They also stressed that development of a robust national security policy is a crucial foundation for a resilient regional security architecture. Discussions with PIF and the UN Development Programme Pacific Centre highlighted the urgent importance of assistance to the Solomon Islands particularly in view of the current drawdown of the Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI). Summary Oceania represents one of the world s most diverse regions. It is an extraordinary mix of cultures, languages, peoples and countries. Most countries in this region are young, having achieved their modern independence in the post-world War II era. Perhaps more so than any other region of the world, Oceania struggles in reconciling traditional norms with international
5 Conclusion - Cramer 165 values driven by globalization. Issues such as overfishing and environmental degradation represent nontraditional security challenges to many countries around the world. These same challenges threaten the very survival of Oceania. Tragically, Oceania may play a key role in global norm setting for the movement of people associated with climate change. The peoples and countries of this region are connected by the oceans. As is frequently acknowledged in many Pacific Island cultures, the ocean does not separate people, but instead, connects them. In a broader context, Oceania connects Asia with the Americas and serves as a maritime highway between East and West. The twenty-first century is being driven by important trends, all associated with the maritime domain. Maritime commerce continues to grow exponentially; giant K Mart ships loaded with many thousands of containers with products from around the world are a common sight. Growing sea lanes of commerce cut throughout the Pacific Islands region. More and more, countries are relying on their maritime commerce for their economic growth and prosperity of their people. Pacific Island countries are unique among the world community in that all have vast maritime territories that significantly exceed their relatively modest amount of land territory. And, in the broader Asia-Pacific region, countries are engaged in an unprecedented naval arms modernization. As noted in previous chapters, few Pacific Island nations have armed forces. In many respects, these three mega-trends are converging in the vast waters of Oceania. What happens in Oceania has global implications. Hopefully this book will help inform the discussion and contribute to a successful way forward. 1 1 The conclusion to this book is derived in large part from DKI APCSS staff and faculty working papers, as well as recorder notes from workshop plenary and small group discussions.

Leaks and rumors are nothing new to the game industry and this time Star Wars Battlefront 2 trailer has been leaked ahead of the Star Wars Celebration.
The trailer was leaked by Vimeo user The Spicinberg. The leaked trailer for Star Wars Battlefront 2 showcase 30 seconds of the footage which looks legit.
In the leaked trailer we see characters from multiple StarWars Era, which sort of confirms that Star Wars Battlefront 2 will feature maps and a whole lot of characters than the first one.
In the trailer we also see part of the single player story, probably featuring a female Imperial pilot after the events of Return of the Jedi.
While the trailer looks convincing enough, it is important to note that DICE is yet to officially reveal it, so there is a chance that it could be fake.
Also, there is a rumor making rounds on the internet that Visceral Games' Star Wars title will also be revealed during the Star Wars Celebration.
According to a report from Jordan Maison, the editor-in-chief at Cinelinx, Visceral games has the trailer for their Star Wars title ready and will showcase it next month at Star Wars Celebration.
Former Uncharted director, Amy Hennig, is the one directing the upcoming Star Wars game from Visceral Games. According to Amy, the new Star Wars game will be spiritually similar to Uncharted series. She insisted that it won't be "Star Wars uncharted" and said that it is an important distinction to be made.
Titanfall series developer, Respawn Entertainment, is also working on a Star Wars title, however, the studio has clarified that it will not be revealing anything about the game anytime soon.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 is an upcoming first-person shooter in development at DICE and is scheduled to launch this fall for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

In this powerful and uplifting novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber, a mother and her daughter-in-law bravely leave their troubled marriages and face the challenge of starting over. Leaning on each other, Nichole and Leanne discover that their inner strength and capacity for love are greater than they ever imagined.
When Nichole discovers that her husband, Jake, has been unfaithful, the illusion of her perfect life is indelibly shattered. While juggling her young son, a new job, and volunteer work, Nichole meets Rocco, who is the opposite of Jake in nearly every way. Though blunt-spoken and rough around the edges, Rocco proves to be a dedicated father and thoughtful friend. But just as their relationship begins to blossom, Jake wagers everything on winning Nichole back—including their son Owen's happiness. Somehow, Nichole must find the courage to defy her fears and follow her heart, with far-reaching consequences for them all.
Leanne has quietly ignored her husband's cheating for decades, but is jolted into action by the echo of Nichole's all-too-familiar crisis. While volunteering as a teacher of English as a second language, Leanne meets Nikolai, a charming, talented baker from Ukraine. Resolved to avoid the heartache and complications of romantic entanglements, Leanne nonetheless finds it difficult to resist Nikolai's effusive overtures—until an unexpected tragedy tests the very fabric of her commitments.
An inspiring novel of friendship, reinvention, and hope, A Girl's Guide to Moving On affirms the ability of every woman to forge a new path, believe in love, and fearlessly find happiness.

*** 'Vignette City' is an ongoing project of daily writing and urban photography ***
At the coffee shop this morning, waiting in line, I heard the two young men behind me talking. Really only one of them was talking, saying, "All I'm saying is remember that blind kids' camp that they used to always be raising money for? Well I'm saying that I don't believe it exists. What kind of school would take a bunch of blind kids on a camping trip into the forest? How is that a good idea? And what kind of insurance does a school even have to do that? How is any of that a good idea? I'm just saying, you put them all on the bus, you drive it around for a couple hours, you set up some tents on the soccer field, spray some Pine-Sol, and alakazam! You've got yourself a full blown blind kid's camping trip"
"That's ridiculous," the other young man said.
"Is it though? Is it? That's all I'm saying. How much money do you think they have raised over the years for that thing? You just know they've been pocketing it. You know how much money they could have skimmed by now?"
The teenager behind the counter gave me my coffee and as I turned, I looked the young men up and down. They were unremarkable. I looked right at the one with all the theories. I smiled and said to him, "You're right. That's exactly what we did." Then I shuffled off as quickly as I could.
