Change the way you think. Create magic in your life!Hello,
Ive been on the road traveling across the country, so this is the first Personal Success ezine of the year.
Just a bit of business at the top and then we move on to the main article Is It That Hard to Return Calls or Emails? The Lack of Professional Courtesy.
(You may want to forward this article around the company or share it with those whom you feel may need to read it.)
PSI Party (Private Event)
I appear at a number of private events throughout the year. I usually conduct a PSI Party for groups up to 20 25 people and it is a great way to entertain your guests with an event that they wont soon forget! For information, click here: http://www.bobgarner.com/events.html
If you are interested in holding a PSI Party (Private Event) when Im in town, I will be at trade shows and meetings in the following areas in March:
Orlando, Boston, Tampa, Scottsdale, Los Angeles, Uncasville, CT (Mohegan Sun Resort.)
New Latest Page and Free Motivational Podcast Up
Our new Latest Page is up. To see what my associates and I have been up to, go here: http://www.bobgarner.com/latest.html
The new motivational podcast is the same as this months article. (Okay, I added a few things in the podcast.) Its short. So, if you would rather listen to it, go here http://www.bobgarneraudio.com/ . It is the first one up on the left hand side.
Is It That Hard To Return Calls or Emails? The Lack of Professional Courtesy
Dont you hate it when you send an email or a voicemail for a person and that person doesnt return the call or email? Its not because the receiver is too busy. Everyone is busy, so that is not an excuse.
Its just a lack of common courtesy basic professional courtesy. Sure, there are times when people are swamped, but - honestly - how much time does it take to send back a simple reply? Its so easy to pick up the phone, send a text or hit the reply on an email, but many dont, which frustrates the message sender. Subliminally, the message sender feels that the receiver of the message doesnt deem the message to be important or doesnt care about their question or concern. Additionally, the sender doesnt think the receiver is any busier or more swamped than themselves. What most senders think is that the receiver is either lacking in business protocol knowledge, disorganized or a combination of both.
Obviously, Im talking about professional calls and not unsolicited calls. You probably return your professional calls and emails promptly. But, in the event you do not, here are few things to ponder:
The Golden Rule - If you dont like it when people dont return your calls or emails, dont do it to others.
Check Your Emails and Respond When you check your Inbox and read a message, respond to it. Yes, everyone gets a lot of emails. But how many of them are from people who are asking the same question of you for the second or third time? If you dont have an answer to the question, state so in your reply. Tell the sender you will get back to them and then do it within a reasonable time.
Return Calls Promptly Like emails, when you get a message, respond to it. If you dont want to speak to the person, then send an email.
People Remember and People Talk Maya Angelou once said, People wont always remember what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel. How do you feel about a person who doesnt return your calls or emails promptly?
Remember, everyone is busy. But being too busy to reply to messages can be viewed by others as a lack of organization and business protocol. Returning calls and emails promptly highlights a commitment to not only maximizing productivity, but also a personal commitment to professional courtesy.

PURE Cloud
A look back on our announcements, demos & more.
In its 50th anniversary, IBC2017 had record attendance of 57,669 visitors across the six-day event. In our booth, we presented our vision for monetizing broadcast and OTT services and engaging viewers like never before. Here are some of the highlights.
At IBC2017, Harmonic showcased it's award-winning EyeQTM content-aware video compression solution, demonstrating analytics from a Tier 1 direct broadcast satellite television provider to improve quality of experience (QoE). Leveraging the latest innovations in video compression and cloud technology, Harmonic also showcased OTT solutions that allow operators to deliver a better QoE than what exists today, with the ultimate goal of delivering broadcast video quality, with lower latency, which is essential for live events.
Harmonic has made transitioning to the cloud for OTT even more attractive by adding expanded media processing and delivery workflow capabilities for its VOS™ media processing platform to simplify OTT delivery. At IBC2017, Harmonic announced and showcased new workflow orchestration and delivery functionalities for VOS Cloud media processing software and VOS 360 managed services, including streamlined content capture, UHD support, personalized ad insertion, and multi-cloud support.
Harmonic shaped the mobile delivery landscape at IBC2017 with its EyeQ content-aware video compression solution, which enables operators to deliver a better QoE to end-users over constrained 3G, 4G and 5G mobile networks. We demonstrated a live end-to-end low latency workflow for distribution over CDNs utilizing the next-generation CMAF standard, highlighting how operators can reduce the delay for OTT viewers to a level that is similar to traditional broadcast. Harmonic also presented a 360-degree VR viewing experience featuring stunning native UHD VR images on mobile-based, head-mounted displays.
Harmonic showcased an end-to-end UHD-HDR workflow solution that supports channel origination, live streaming and on-demand applications.
The IP Showcase returned to this year's IBC with Harmonic being a main contributor to what many consider is the largest interoperability demonstration ever to have taken place.
52 vendors worked together to demonstrate real-world IP interoperability based on SMPTE ST 2110 final draft standards and AMWA NMOS specifications. Harmonic's Spectrum X was a star performer among the other playout server vendors. It was used as part of the Contribution and Playout workflow demonstration, showing our support for playout of SMPTE ST 2110 with SMPTE 2059 (PTP) timing.
On the conference program front, Thierry Fautier, VP, Business Development and Innovation at Harmonic, participated in a UHD session: UHD – Where We Are and Where We Are Going.
David Whitehead, Global Key Account Director, EMEA at Harmonic, presented at the SCTE Benelux event at IBC,: The Benefits of Migration to a Software-Based Cable Access Architecture.
Our announcements and demos at IBC2017 were covered by the international press. Here are a few of the articles published during IBC:
"For a streaming offering to be truly successful today, especially for live sports, it has to be delivered with exceptional video quality on every screen. We chose Harmonic's solution because of the pristine video quality it provides, as well as its flexibility. "

Ever since July, V has been planning her seventh birthday party. Yes, that means six months. She became fascinated with the moon in those summer months and it only grew exponentially. So naturally, I began looking at Pinterest for ideas, while keeping in mind the Martha Stewart Kids Magazine I still owned with an astronaut theme birthday party.
Now, friends, let's remember one thing about resources like Martha Stewart and Pinterest...most of it is unattainable without a stealthy budget, or you have a "knack" for these things. And by "knack," I mean you are of the 1% (okay, maybe more like 1.7%).
The finely manicured space suits, with each child's name precisely cut out of red & blue duct take, while fitting like a glove. What does this really translate into?
Go to the hardware store in search of painter's grubs only to find the smallest size available is L/XL for kids who are all 5-7 years old. Let's see what this looks like in stylized magazine world, shall we?
Okay, I know you cannot really see this picture (click on it and you can see it a bit better). However, you can clearly see how non bulky it is overall. Oh and those cute little American flags on their front and the belt looking so pristine. Immaculate right?
How do I do a birthday party?
- Do not have the space suits ready for them with their name on back (because I'm only going to take them out of the package if the kid really wants them. Otherwise if they say no, then I'm taking them back to the hardware store to get my money back).
- Gather as much of the painter outfit as possible in the back, then do a fold down while binding it all with duct tape. Picture the 90s shirt tuck in gone way bad.
- Next, roll up sleeves and pants, hoping no one holds you liable for tripping.
- Rather than going the tedious route of hand writing then cutting with an Xacto knife their name to place them with tweezers and magnify glasses on the back of the costume. Write their name in your best chicken scratch on their misaligned duck tape belt.
- When your daughter asks for a moon mission party, you transform the basement into the moon. You clearly do this by putting up a tarp, then using black garbage bags on the wall and dark blue plastic table cloths (because they were all out of black ones at the dollar store).
- You had high plans of putting mattresses on the floor and then covering them with blankets to create a "no gravity" zone. However, time got the best of you and you put one bed mat and hope by bunching up loads of blankets that somehow creates a "no gravity" zone (by the way--it doesn't).
- Your daughter wants to decorate cookies for her birthday with an astronaut, star, and planet. You quickly tell her how cool it would be to make donuts with the new donut maker from Christmas, and it's like Saturn's ring! Plus, you save money by not buying any other supplies.
- When one of the games is toss the bean bag to the different planets, you quickly improvise. Why? a. you don't own any bean bags. b. there's not a lot of space to put planets all about to toss said bean bags to. Daddy gathers various beany baby/stuffed animals nicely placed in a puppy pillowcase. You then quickly cut out circles asking the girls to color them to represent the planets. Ask Ben to place them along the wall above the steps going downstairs (every other step). Then, gather the kids one at a time telling them the goal is to land their animal to the step with the planet. Score!!!
- Every kid decorates their own donut with raspberry frosting and sprinkles. And they need a moon smoothie from all that anti-gravity jumping; but, really it's just a chance to show off your new Vitamix.
- Ensure each friend brought their own stuffy, because going to the moon without a pet is plain ole inappropriate.
- Open presents, give out favors and say thank you to everyone who came (and help Corban up the stairs realizing he wasn't goofing off to climb up, but the duct tape belt was slipping and the bigness of the painter's outfit was showing---the belt was around his knees).
Above picture is of the game via Martha Stewart. But I think ours was MORE awesome.
Birthdays are magical. My Veronica Storey turned seven, which feels so much more big than little. She has a lot to be proud of in these short seven years. I have seen her grow exponentially, gaining more control and learning how to be brave and courageous.
When she dreamed of going on a moon mission and inviting her friends along, I wanted her to experience it. There are few times in life when we get to dream of something and have them come to fruition. I believe a birthday party (with some limits) should be this time, especially when you live in a world that is more complicated than it is for others.
As I kneeled down, helping the children into these makeshift astronaut costumes, wrapping around red or grey duct tape and seeing how "unprofessional" it looked, I found self-doubt coming up. It wasn't staged or "fancy" by definition. In fact, if you were to "pin" one of the below pictures, I'm sure no one would repin it. But, as I allow myself to enjoy the world through V's eyes and the other kids, it's magical. They don't care.
V came down as I was finishing up the moon basement and let out "OH MY MAMA! IT'S THE MOON!!!!"
When the kids left, they raved about the experience. Jumping in a gravity filled zone with the lights out and flashing glow sticks. Even Caprice squealed being able to delight with the big kids. One friend wouldn't get out of her costume while doing errands with her mom.
Can I share this a source of encouragement to you?

Three Lake Students Earn GenYes Certification
Lake High School Juniors Trey Zeiger and Aidan Stalker, and Senior Jaron Smith recently qualified to receive a prestigious GenYes certification after developing required technology-based skills and using them in support of district curriculum goals.
They are among a select group of students from across the nation to achieve this certification.
GenYes is a program that prepares powerful teams of Student Technology Leaders (STLs) in K-12 schools to work with educators, peers and IT staff to integrate technology in ways that improve student learning.
To become certified, Jaron, Trey, and Aidan completed a number of tasks including technology integration, break-fix computer issues, and much more. These issues involved assisting Lake staff and students, working on various teams involving other GenYes students, and helping at least 10 different teachers.
They also interviewed with a panel of GenYes employees, including CEO Dennis Harper, to become certified.
GenYes certification demonstrates that a student has successfully applied technology skills they have developed both in the classroom, and by helping their school effectively integrate technology.
"I am so proud and excited for these young men. They have all worked so hard and are the best and brightest Lake High School has to offer. I am truly blessed to work with students of their caliber on a daily basis," said GenYes instructor Frank Pilato.
This current trio of students follows Lake Senior Barrett Osmundson, who earned his GenYes certification in early November, 2017.

I was never one to create a smoking gun by playing twenty five degrees of separation. That kind of nonsense is best left to the Michael Moores of the world. But I just couldn't linking to this post by Chris Chase on how the New England Patriots owe all their success to this guy. The theory is that a 1984 Michael Jackson tour created the circumstances that allowed Robert Kraft to buy the Patriots.
Nice theory, but it's about as believable as what most Americans don't watch on MSNBC. The Patriots aren't successful because of Michael Jackson. They're successful because they cheated.

You'll agree with him when you see the video below: a compilation by BuzzFeed on why, to them "The World Is A Totally Awesome Place", and yes the world is!

This should put a smile on your face :)

...I experienced a state of grief again when on March 6, I got the news that my best friend - he was 70- died of a stroke. I tried to cry, but I couldn't. The tears however poured out of my eyes on March 31st when we did his memorial. Again, I realized that was the last! And I cried!

Even though he's not here, he's still very much alive, and his legacy lives on. He certainly left a part of himself here before he departed. And for that, I'm grateful. I'm glad I met him. He was not only a best friend and mentor, he also made himself available in the role of a Father. I called him my second Dad.

There is much more to be said, but having said this, Live on Osborne Wright (1942 - 2012)AFalomohttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134906832480181892.post-70304691976926095502013-03-07T11:19:00.000-06:002013-03-07T11:19:17.306-06:00#ThrowbackThursday: August 1996This would actually be the first ever throwback picture of myself I've ever posted anywhere.

So, go ahead and enjoy it :)

I might just do more of this in the future.

I was 6. My Little Brother was 3. We're with our Uncle. Sleepy + Hungry lol.

At least, as long as things like these continue to happen. Just browsing the internet a few minutes ago that put a smile on my face. Thought I'd share with you guys. It might reassure you that it's beautiful to be human! The connections we forge with other people when we allow ourselves to, and the pleasure of cherishing and valuing those connections we've made, and the opportunity to make new ones...It's just all fascinating to me.

Check the videos below, and let 'em put a smile on your faces as well.

So, instead, I'm going to blog about my dry spell. And in the process ask you readers a question: "What do you do when it seems like you've ran out of inspiration?" I wanna do something with this blog, just don't know what yet to be honest!

By the way, below is what I'm listening to while typing this.

AFalomohttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134906832480181892.post-86201234045496782792013-01-15T11:57:00.000-06:002013-01-15T11:57:43.831-06:00Happy New Year!!!! Goals, Changes, etc.
Happy New Year!!!! It's better late than never, they say! And hey, yes, I'm still alive :) I do apologize though for my inactivity on this blog. It's kind of surprising that people actually still visit here or even pay attention to the blog. See, it's a new year, and I've learned a lot. It's easy to make a promise/commitment, and it's even easier to break it. A promise I'm tempted to make of course is that I'll be diligent in updating the blog, BUT...

NO, I won't make any such promises, all I'll attempt to do is try as much as I can to make the blog active. I'll post pictures of pussies erm, cats. And dogs, other furry  (not necessarily) creatures that might be seen as cute, videos that make me laugh, or cry, or inspire me, poems (of my own as well as others), my attempts at writing stories, and of course occasionally when it calls for it, I'll pen down a few or two things that I happen to be thinking about as I've been known to do in times past. Heck, maybe I'll even get myself to review music, movies, books and stuff.

So, here's to a new year, and a new approach. I just overall look forward to what the year holds really.

Last year, on my 22nd birthday, I decided to make a draft of goals I hope to achieve for my 22nd year, before I turned 23. Yikes, I feel old!!!

I've failed already for some of the goals. And I've rewarded myself for those failures. Weird, right? So, I've decided it's wise to make a few adjustments, but the goals remain the same.

Clicking the picture will direct you to my WORDPRESS BLOG - Of Dreams and Deeds. It's a project I'm involved in with the aim of tracking and documenting the small steps we take (me primarily) - our "deeds" - in the journey towards accomplishing our dreams, some of which we've had since we were kids. Because of certain circumstances, we decide to "grow up" and we stop dreaming! I on the other hand haven't stopped yet, or at the very least trying not to, and the blog is my testament to that! Read more ABOUT this in the ABOUT SECTION OF THE BLOG.

With that said, it'll be a pleasure, if I can get some followers over there, so we can all continue that conversation about dreams and visions. I promise it'll be worth it!

Again, happy new year and thank you all for reading in times past.

I'm actually deciding to changing the url of the blog (to afalomo.blogspot.com), and the name too. It's all in the attempt to get used to my name, self and everything that I am; outside of aliases, monikers or screen names.... You know the new year, new you thing? Maybe that has something to do with it... or not.

Well, I am Ayokunle Falomo and I approve this message.

And then I receive news about the death of one of my Aunts. Yesterday, I was reading one of Williams Carlos Williams' poems and came across these words: "...Death is not the end of it."

We only have few years here, and then it's over.

That's life...and it's what you do with it that matters...before death comes.

...And it'll surely come.

It's hardly the years in life that counts, but the life in those years. And what better way to use it, that for this: SERVICE!!!

...And there is still no cure for these thoughts I have...that I'm here for a reason, and that my lungs won't cease...until I'm done. Did you know, that I am not done!

I'm as glad as you are that this is over. Thanks to everyone who checked the posts out. (And to those who didn't? Oh well! Next time, right? Right!) And thanks to @KarlNova, and @AlimKamara for allowing me to share their works on the blog.

And just because it's Sunday, here's from the blog:

"Raised in a Christian home, and being shaped by principles as such has made me to continually marvel at the life of the central figure of Christianity. His was a life that exemplified this value of service from the time of his conception till his death."

This one is a post by a friend, Karl Nova, who was a Guest Author on the blog. He wrote:

"Everyone needs something to aim for or you just live aimlessly with no purpose. No one can live for long like that, even if you don't know what it is, you sense you were born for a reason. You sense that there is something more than the norm that you are seeing around you that you are here for."

Honesty. Transparency. These are qualities I absolutely adore (as anyone close to me would tell you), and sure this comes with a willingness to be vulnerable – to be considered weak. However, to be vulnerable requires a lot of strength. Try it once, if only once in your entire life! No excuses, no explanations, no apologies, nothing! Just your story! ... The right thing here is telling our stories exactly as they are. No edits!

Hello followers :)

I hope your weekend was awesome. Mine to a certain extent was.

A while ago today, I posted this on Facebook...

"So, I feel like I've written enough crap to qualify as a writer. All writers (the good ones anyways) know that the goal is to "keep writing crap until others start to find genius in your crap." (Yeah, dumb logic right? Writers are quite a dumb specie you see!) Anyways, for the whole of this week starting from tomorrow, I'll be sharing some of the crap…and the few gems as well that I've written on this blog here: http://ofdreamsanddeeds.wordpress.com/"

We'll call this #blogweek.

Should be fun, join me :)

In the meantime, before tomorrow, check out this video below in honor of Nigeria's 52nd Independence that was on the first of this month.

 (This was posted yesterday, September 12th on my other blog, Of Dreams and Deeds for my birthday. And I am sorry I haven't been here in a long while)

For starters, I really don't know where or how to start this (I love 'em, but pardon the pun!)

I am 22.

And for some reason, it's very significant to me. One would think my 21st year should be...but I was not nearly as excited then as I am today!

I think I know why...

Again, just to remind you what this blog (Of Dreams and Deeds) is about, it is to document my journey towards the accomplishment of certain dreams I've had since I was born, and the deeds I'm doing to make them a reality. So far, so good.

And I've never quite been so close. In the last 22 years, I've never quite had that feeling of "I got it!"

...until now!

I am so assured, and am continually reassured that "the future [indeed does] belong to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams", and trust me, I am dreaming, and dream...a lot! Lots of events (most significantly my experience at LeaderShape) have happened this past year leading to this one I'm about to start today, that have equipped me with what it takes to make that future I've dreamed about happen. Sure, like I said, it's all 'one step at a time' and for this next year which I start today, I just want to keep the ball rolling. I'm not stopping...at least not any time soon.

I am grateful I have people (family, friends, and even strangers) to share all that I am with. I mentioned somewhere on this blog, that my deepest fear - what I fear the most - is that I am actually good at being everything I am.

I enjoy life, and I delight in learning from it, and siphoning from it everything it has to offer.

And a lot of things I do today have been 22 years in the making.

And still, I don't think I'm there just yet...but there is no doubt that I'm very close. This Close!

With that as a form of preamble, I decided to sum up the whole of what I am (not quite lol) in a 4 minutes video using the spoken word format of poetry. This is just something else I deeply love. Words....

...words are as living, breathing, able to shape, form...just as life itself is.

Of course, achieving certain dreams is about setting goals. I mentioned on this blog that creating this blog was actually one of my manageable/short term goals, and it definitely feeds into the stretch goals as it pertains to the BIG PICTURE!

And for this year that starts for me today, I decided to set some goals for myself. 22 to be exact!

Just know that if you're reading this, I have enrolled you into my team (yes, without your consent. You're welcome!) and you're responsible as well as accountable to making sure I achieve these goals by this time next year. So check up on me to see how I am doing on them. Thanks.

And to wrap this post up, I thought this song is fitting, to describe my journey over these past years. I stole the title of this post from the song as well, so I might as well post it. I've said it before, and I'll say it again just in case you're wondering why I always end my posts with Music...

How could I not!?

Okay, maybe that's not exactly what I said before, but oh well!

There are changes, and there are changes. The one I'm going through is the good kind, the journey towards finding out who I really am - what my purpose in life is. And I think I've found it.

God, where to start? Or even how to start?

Last post, I talked about Growth. Check it out if you haven't (it definitely ties everything together) And this post, I'm gonna talk more about...you guessed it, Growth.

Just before I go on, I haven't been here for a while, but that might change soon...or end, we'll see how this goes. I really at a point couldn't figure out the reason for me having this blog or posting on here really is. I couldn't really categorize the blog...what am I supposed to talk about? Clarity, through growth and learning has helped me sort that out somewhat...and the rest of the life, and the direction I want to head.

Man, the journey to and through self-discovery is a beast! It's scary, but it's absolutely worth it. Like I really really really now like the dude I see in the mirror, or at least...I'm getting there.

Life is beautiful and grand.

I have some amazing news to share with you guys, I certainly haven't forgotten you. Head on over to http://ofdreamsanddeeds.wordpress.com/2012/07/23/my-deepest-fear/ to hear all about it.

I'm sorry it's been a while since I posted on here...but maybe everything will make sense soon (and trust me, it will)

Again, I still appreciate those of you who stop by here from time to time.

With that ability to be grateful is the realization that everything is a gift, and for the gift of being able to live and actually enjoy life, it's a privilege not many people have!

On Sunday of last week, while I was driving with my friend, we came across one of the people on the street who would approach your car and attempt to clean the windshield. Most of the time, you're like "Don't" because usually they would expect you to give them money for their service. My friend was trying to gather all the change he could find in his car in order to give this man. I think he needed 1 dollar, but we were like about 25 cents short, my friend's Mom decided to add whatever coins she had as well, and I dipped my hands in my pocket, and took out all the coins in my pocket and handed it to the man (it was about 80 something cents) I told him, "You're lucky today". And in an ecstatic mode, he jumped up and said "I'm a winner! I'm a winner" For a brief moment, we all laughed together...and as the light turned green, and my friend pressed the accelerator to move, he said the words "I love you brother!" Certainly made my day, no doubt!

On Monday, I was able to learn a valuable lesson about asking for help. Naturally, I don't! I infact detest having to ask anybody for help...I'm so stubborn that I'll rather try and solve a problem by myself (no matter how long it might take), and give up if I can't solve it, that ask for help. But I'm learning! At this Leadership Training Camp I went to in May, this was made evident to me as a serious issue that needed to be dealt with. See, they put us in this maze blindfolded, with ropes on either side, and told us to find our ways out. The catch however was that in reality there was no way out of the maze, you just had to ask for help (at any time, if you needed it)...but I was thinking, what exactly do I need help for? Wasn't the focus to try and find your way out of the maze! Yeah, with that mindset, I was one of the last two persons in the maze. If only I'd said the words, "Jeff, can you help me" sooner enough, my blindfold would have been taken off. Read further about my experiences on Monday here ----> It's a very interesting one, with all the twists and turns that typifies losing one's sense of direction...literally!

This year, I've witnessed some major growth, and I mean really major ones. A lot of transitions has happened, and it can seem overwhelming sometimes. On Friday, I got the chance to witness a tour of this type of growth, in a Non-Profit organization called Change Happens, here in Houston where I live. The organization is basically the story of my life! You can read the details of that tour here ---->

And today, on Saturday, I walked in the rain (it was really pouring mind you)! I walked as if it wasn't raining. I was in no hurry, and this lasted I believe for about 45 minutes. It was peaceful, and serene, and beautiful! And freeing...this period, just as of a child's, is what I'm aiming to return to. I was drenched, and some of the cars that passed by splashed water on me, I didn't resist it or try to run away from it...It felt so natural...so normal! Life is too full of stress...but hey enjoy the little things, I shall!

And when I say that I'm grateful, these are the things I talk about - the ability to smell the flowers, to share a laugh with a stranger, to talk with a friend, to walk in the rain, and the list is endless...

Here is my theme song for Growth, which is an essential value that I hold strongly.

I don't want to make this post any longer than necessary, so...

It's June 17, 2012 and in this part of the world where I am it's Father's day. I decided to be as vulnerable as I possibly could, and sentimental too if you may...and wrote my Dad a poem. I haven't written him anything, or dedicated anything to me since I started writing. So here goes:

For all that you are, and
All that you do, you deserve an
A
A, because of your sacrifice, and
All that you've had to let go, for my sake, and
your family's, and
B, for putting up with me
for all these years, and
C, I'll have you know that
If I could, I would
but you that which your heart desires the most
And I hope you know
That even though I hardly show
in my actions, or through words that
I LOVE YOU, I do
And I'm grateful
that you are
My Dad!
Love, your son,
Ayokunle.
To read the backdrop of this poem, and to better understand possibly why I think it's significant enough to blog about. Head on over to here >>>

I mean, I said the words I LOVE YOU to him, for the first time ever. And he said Thank you! That's got to be something, you'd agree!

Few posts ago, I told you guys that I made a new blog, and directed you to http://therhymojournalist.wordpress.com/. Quite amazingly, I noticed that you guys did. To that, I can't be anything but grateful.

If you head over to that blog now, you'll notice that I decided to revise my plan, and make a much more fitting blog that articulates exactly what I'm tying to do, the product of which is this: http://ofdreamsanddeeds.wordpress.com/. It describes perfectly what exactly it is that I'm trying to accomplish by creating a new blog. @tilola, you asked me what the purpose of the blog was, and I've been able to modify the About Section in this new blog to better explain that. Just for you dear :)

But really though, I'd appreciate it if guys subscribed by email, followed, commented...everything!

Thanks again, you rock!

AFalomohttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134906832480181892.post-70923880044055188942012-06-09T18:00:00.000-05:002012-06-09T18:00:16.625-05:00Of Possibilities!
The dictionary defines Art thus:

the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.

It describes Possibility as:

the state or fact of being possible; anything that is possible

Combining both terms, as "The Art of Possibility" what we get is this:

The production, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance of anything that is possible!

Now ain't that something? But the question is, what exactly is this art of possibility? I believe from the analysis above, it has to do with the fact that you can produce what is beautiful, because in the strictest sense, anything is possible.

Everything I talk about on this blog will relate back to my experience at LeaderShape, and this for me is definitely one of the highlights of that experience. Without it, this blog would definitely not be in existence. And I'd assume it's a good thing that it is in existence. You can read the About to get a grasp of what I'm speaking of.

So enough with the preamble….

During periods of grief, few of which I've experienced, I go through the DENIAL stage for the longest of times. I have a hard time accepting the fact that it is happening.

When my grandmother died, I pretended as if she was not...This was 2005, so I was about 15...just to let you know that it wasn't because I was too young to understand what was going on. I told myself that she went on a journey, and was soon coming back (she still hasn't returned yet) even though I was there when they burned the clothes she wore, bloodstained as they were from the accident she had while she was on her way to visit us.

I did not cry! I told myself that even if she was really dead, they we just had to wait till after 4 days, like Lazarus, and then she was going to come back to life. 4 days passed, and she did not...and I still convinced myself that a supernatural miracle was really going to have to happen, and I had no doubts that it will.

The burial ceremony and all such went on...with merriment and cheers (and beers) as you would expect for any Nigerian ceremony, even the one that was supposed to be about death. Not saying everyone should be crying, but still. I myself was lost in the moment, it didn't feel like we were there for a burial. Up till this point, I had not cried. It wasn't until....

They lowered her casket into the ground...and in that instant, I realized I was never going to see my grandmom anymore for real! - delusions aside. I came in grasp with reality, and I emptied out all the tears that have formed a reservoir by now in my eyes. For a long time, nobody could console me. And I didn't need to be consoled, I just needed to let it all out.

As if that's not enough experience. My granddad died 2008, and I don't remember crying. Because I didn't have a chance to witnessing his last moments, the feelings I believe are still repressed somewhere...I still haven't cried. Of course, I felt remorse...but life must go on was my immediate resignation.

Just this year, I experienced a state of grief again when on March 6, I got the news that my best friend - he was 70- died of a stroke. I tried to cry, but I couldn't. The tears however poured out of my eyes on March 31st when we did his memorial. Again, I realized that was the last! And I cried!

Now, I heard on Sunday about what happened, but I still haven't considered the severity. To me, it's a matter of, well people die all the time. I don't know how to process grief...it's got to be the most difficult emotion for me. This is one of the reasons I don't really watch or read the news. I still haven't read about the incident, and I doubt I ever will. What I'm scared for is that I'll read it, and all I can do is sigh! lament! for a few seconds, or minutes if I try, And move on...which is what happens to me. Last year, I spoke on this issue of mortality and how I handle it HERE. Read the whole if you can, or just scroll down and start from the paragraph that starts with "Today...".

Anyways, I started reading people's comments of this incident, and especially Myne Whitman's write up which you can read HERE!

I was really not going to write anything about this before but her post inspired me to do so, not out of necessity, but because I get it! Should I beat myself up for not feeling at first what others felt? Not at all! Maybe before now I would, but not at this stage of my life. I am at a place where I am able to accept even the most horrendous/reprehensible part of myself. It is only in this kind of unreserved appreciation for who I am as a person that I can see the possibility for who I can better become.

We wouldn't need people to inspire us if everyone was inspired...and because I couldn't see things the way others saw/see it, it takes reading the expression of people like Myne for me to see from that POV. And it certainly does make sense. I'll suggest you read it.

In that note, there are no words for me to say about the plane crash which caused the death of a hundred and something people that hasn't been said. From "may their souls rest in perfect peace" to blames of the airline, to regret to whatever you may have. Or maybe the truth of the matter is that I actually don't know what to say...

This is really a lazy blog post, but in any case I thought I'd first thank the 20 something individuals who follow this blog (you have no idea how appreciative I am that people read and comment on things I've written. You guys rock!), and inform you all about this new blog I created. Head on over to http://therhymojournalist.wordpress.com/ , and read the About Section/First Post to know what it's all about. Would be lovely if you can FOLLOW the BLOG VIA EMAIL too. < You have to scroll down the page to do so. Might have to get another theme that'll make it more easier to see.

But for now, Thanks again!

My mother made me promise her that I was going to write a poem specially for her on Mother's Day...so I decided I was going to do a song instead, but sadly I couldn't.

Thankfully, however I recorded this poem a while back. I reference her towards the end of the poem, in the light of her being my real FIRST LOVE...even though I spent the greater part talking about this girl I met at school when I was either seven or eight.

I'm really glad about Mother's Day because it's a Day set aside to honor the labor of mothers you know? I think it is a lot to be grateful about!

At church today, few of the women will be doing a drama (which I was opportune to write) that highlights the necessity of the wife/mother being a Proverbs 31 type of woman....which my mother is. It's all so relevant.

So without much delay, enjoy the poem...and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!

In case you are still wondering what in the word "antonym of a mirage" means, it simply means reality. And that is exactly what she's decided to title her work, since it contains realistic depictions of life.

She claims that the book is not about prose, nor drama, nor poetry...although it contains all of these...but rather a book about reality! The description on Amazon says that "it is a collection of tragedy, comedy, reflections, etc, all packed in one...."

Click THIS PAGE on her blog if you're interested in gaining some interesting information about the book, following the process from its conception to the actual publication!

The brushes I tried are: E100 Angled Liner, E230 Eye Shader, E300 Blending Brush and E310 Pencil Brush and their makeup sponge the "Lemon Drop"
The brushes are great quality, they didn't shed when I washed them and performed well when I used them. The price for these are between $11-$12 USD.
The sponge I honestly didn't like at all. When wet it does not expand and it ate my foundation. I used it a few times and with every use I was more disappointed. It retails for $11.
Mikasa is a company based in Canada and their flat rate for shipping to the US is $9.95 on order for less than $50 and free on any order over that amount. My order came in within the time specified.
I do have an affiliate code to receive 25% off your order. You can use SIMPLYJARYMUA25 or shop directly from this Link. I do get a small commission whenever my code or link is used.
Since I need to get new brushes to replace old one I will be purchasing more and will share them on my Instagram.
Until next post.

35 Years Later: 'Night Flight' debuts
Jason Ferguson
May 31, 2016 at 10:13 AM
Cable television in the early 1980s was terrible. Sure, it's easy to say the same thing about cable television now, but 35 years ago, cable TV was just making its way into the mainstream. In the early '80s, if you didn't have cable, you had your choice of three broadcast networks and PBS; if you did have cable, you had your choice of three broadcast networks, PBS, a couple of government-mandated public access channels, HBO, and maybe a dozen "basic cable" channels that were little more than well-funded versions of those public access channels. ESPN broadcast things like Bulgarian junior women's water polo championships, TBS had wrestling and
Andy Griffith
, WGN had
The Jeffersons
The Partridge Family
, MTV had a lot of Rod Stewart videos, and the USA Network had the sports that ESPN passed on, old Hanna-Barbera cartoons, and, on weekend overnights starting
June 5, 1981
Night Flight
Even though MTV was the most obvious and best-known destination for music videos on cable TV – it was called
Music Television
, after all – it was a channel programmed by former radio people. And radio in the early '80s was just as bad as it is now, defined by ever-tightening playlists and an accelerating loss of local control; MTV's early (relative) diversity and greatness was a bug, not a feature. There just weren't that many mainstream acts making music videos in the early '80s, but if there were, you can rest assured that it's what would have been played on the network. But MTV did what they could with what they had, and what they had was a lot of aging rockers with big budgets and the
beautiful neon flourishes
of budding New Wave pop stars.
But there was lots more happening in music, and you could hear it on the far-left reaches of your radio dial if you lived in a somewhat larger city, or, if you had basic cable and the ability to stay up all night (or a VCR in the den), you could watch it on
Night Flight
. Debuting two months before MTV,
Night Flight
sought to combine the vibe of a midnight movie marathon with the thrill of hanging out with a cool friend who had deep knowledge of every musical/cinematic/artistic subculture you'd only heard about.
It was a completely insane programming block that could contain everything from a
film and rare footage of
the Germs
video clips, documentaries about cutting-edge films and graphic artists, and
all the weird music videos that MTV was too scared to play
. It was, to say the least, completely eye-opening for a generation of suburban kids who knew they were weird, and who – finally – had access to the wider world of weirdos.
It's important to understand just how crushing and omnipresent the monoculture was at the time; even for the raddest, most punk/avant/weird motherfuckers in your town, information and media moved incredibly slowly, via occasional visits to the big city record/video store and, of course, fanzines and the mail-order bonanzas that would happen when you actually found them. For all but the most devoted freaks, salvation came in small, discrete doses, and most of those doses came on weekend nights thanks to
Night Flight
Urgh! A Music War
Breaking Glass
, the entire L.A. punk scene documented by
New Wave Theatre
Fantastic Planet
Another State of Mind
, the
Brothers Quay
Grace Jones
Ladies and Gentlemen: The Fabulous Stains
Sonic Youth
, the
Fritz the Cat
... all of these blew my young suburban mind thanks to
Night Flight
. Not only for actually being exposed to the art itself, but to the
that art like this had a place in the world. For a kid living in an anonymous middle class neighborhood,
Night Flight
opened up an entire universe of thought.
Sure, a lot of the stuff they played was forgettable (they did have to fill huge blocks of time!), but a lot of it left a permanent mark, not just on me and kids like me, but on a whole generation of disconnected culture fiends who needed more than what they were given by mainstream outlets. I don't think it is hyperbolic to say that
Night Flight
was probably the most important thing that happened to underground culture in the 1980s, as it was the first thing to connect what was happening on the fringes of cultural metropolises with the rest of the country on a grand scale.
Thankfully, its legacy lives on, not just in the Gen X weirdos who were inspired philosophically and creatively by what they saw on those overnight shows, but also in a technologically relevant form. The
Night Flight blog
has been going strong since early 2015, and earlier this year,
Night Flight+
was launched, offering a new streaming service that basically provides
Night Flight
footage old and new, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Never in your life did you find a better way to spend $2.99 a month. Hell, it's cheaper than cable!

FROM BEYOND goes over Down Under
Just heard from the directors of A Night of Horror Short Film Festival in Sydney, Australia: FROM BEYOND won an award for Best Lovecraft Film! It's nice to be recognized for creating what others feel is a worthy adaptation of Lovecraft, who is notoriously difficult to translate to the screen. I experienced that difficulty intensely as I sweated over the script for five months. It was definitely worth it, as folks have been genuinely enthusiastic about FB's depiction of stop-mo creepy-crawlies from another dimension.
In other news, AMBERSONS 2 is just about done. The folks at SuperDeluxe really dug the rough cut and I've just handed over a 2nd pass incorporating some minimal changes. Thank god for outside eyes...after 6 weeks of animation I have no objectivity. Wish I could say more but you know, confidentiality and all...screen caps coming soon!

Cuba expels foreigners...
More bad news from Cuba....
Cuba expelled six people from Poland as authorities continued to prevent outsiders from attending a meeting by opponents of President Fidel Castro.
The Polish Foreign Ministry in Warsaw said three journalists, a human rights worker and two students had been ordered out of Cuba Friday. As well, Spain's foreign minister announced two former Spanish senators were also told to leave Cuba.

The move comes a day after two European legislators were expelled. Czech Senator Karel Schwarzenberg and German legislator Arnold Vaatz were put on flights to Europe on Thursday.
"This is typical behaviour of a totalitarian state," said Schwarzenberg.

Having debuted earlier this week, Capcom has published the Episode Two teaser video awaiting those who complete the first episode of Resident Evil: Revelations 2.
If you're waiting to play the episodic series–perhaps until the full season is completed next month–but are eager to get a taste of what awaits, the video above should more than suffice. It's got a distinctly TV show-y feel to it, and while it isn't the most spoiler-filled video possible, you'll obviously want to avoid it if you're the sort of person that wants to go in completely fresh.
Episode One was released earlier this week on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC to some acclaim, with its cooperative modes in particular being praised by many. Unfortunately, players on PC discovered co-op support (which is limited to local play only for now) is absent from that version despite Capcom's official listings suggesting otherwise. The publisher has since apologized for the mistake and explained that the feature was removed to "ensure a stable user experience across a variety of different PC settings and devices."
Episode Two is set for release next week, with the following two episodes scheduled for the following two weeks. Once the season is fully released through digital channels, a retail version with bonus content will then be released in March.
This is a syndicated post, which originally appeared at GameSpot News. View original post.

She is sitting up pretty good now with help. If she isn't sitting against something she folds in half pretty much with her little hands on each side of her feeet. She likes to stand up and will stiffen her legs to stand instead of sitting down. She is very strong. The doctor said she is in the 50th percentile for her weight and height. She is 13.7 pounds and 24 1/4 inches tall.
She is so good. Doesn't cry much, except when it's time to go to sleep and she doesnt' want to give in or if I take too long getting her bottle ready. Picnicing trying to eat an apple. She licked it like crazy and didn't want me to take it away. Daddy didn't mind the extra slobber too much.
Looking pretty in her new outfit. She got her shots today for her 4 month checkup. Her doctor said she looked like a clown in her outfit. Silly man.
Emily was one of the weather babies for Monday on the local Fox news. If you would, go to the website this weekend, starting Friday at 9 am and vote for her. If she wins she will be the weather baby of the week for next week. http://www.myfoxorlando.com/subindex/weather/weather_babies
It's just a fun contest and an opportunity to show her off.

December 2011 | My List for Santa
What a dance teacher dreams of finding under the tree
By Diane Gudat
Dear Santa (or, just to cover my bases, Père Noël, Kris Kringle, Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kwanzaa Spirit, Walmart Layaway, or whoever or whatever delivers gifts to my house around December 25),
I have been an extremely good dance teacher all year. I have been polite when possible to the parents, excused hundreds of absences, have already picked out a recital theme and even a few songs, got my staff lovely gifts, and planned the studio holiday party. I have assembled the following list to help you determine which gifts might be best to reward my obviousaccomplishments.
Please note: Some of these items might be readily available, while others might require a little creativity from your capable elves.
1. An air freshener that would dispense a mild sedative into the waiting room, thus calming chatty parents and out-of-control siblings.
2. A lifetime subscription to my new dream satellite radio station, Dance Teacher Music Unlimited. Designed specifically for dance teachers, this amazing station would feature pre-cut music for recitals and solos. It would come with the capability to replay any song as many times as requested and would allow downloads directly to any iPod, free of charge.
3. A one-year pass to my favorite coffee shop, with an option for free delivery to the studio.
4. A hip-hop teacher who comes every week and arrives on time. I know these teachers exist; I just have not been able to find one yet.
5. A magic wand that collects crushed Cheerios and Goldfish crackers, sparing me from bending over or moving the lobby furniture.
6. New ballet barres that disperse disinfectant to kill the germs that dancers carry into the classroom. Hopefully this will put an end to my yearly bouts with colds and the flu. While you're at it, could you have the elves design a line of dancewear for teachers that also repels germs? You might as well throw in control-top panels and something that gives the illusion of removing 10 pounds.
7. A ban on all props and sets for one full year, in effect on every competition circuit in the United States and Canada. As a teacher, I would love a year without worrying how to make, transport, and (worst of all) store them. As a competition judge, I would love a year of not having to wait for them to be set up and torn down.
8. A variable-speed MP3 player. Not an app—the real thing!
9. One class each week that begins on time, full of students who dress correctly, follow every rule, do exactly what they are told, have cooperative parents, and are thankful for the opportunity to study with me.
10. At least one male student for every class.
I promise to continue to be the best dance teacher I can be and plan on leaving you a nice box of wine and Godiva chocolates in case you are actually a woman.
P.S. I also considered asking for a hidden lobby camera to catch the parents' conversations about the studio, but I think that might be a case of "Be careful what you ask for!"

Classic Lady Di! You hit the Santa nail on the head!
thanks for posting! so fun to find it and read it! love being part of the magazine!
Oh wow , I love this list , especially this week ! What about a personal secretary to be sure I accomplish the 50 things on the list before the weekends so that the next weeks 50 are not added on.
Thank-you Rhee it sure does feel good to know others are going through many of the same things .Though not as good as actually sitting down and talking to someone it does help to read it.
Thank-you again
Oh, Santa! Please bring me an office computer
That intuitively corrects parents emails as quickly
As they change them. One that lets me know
I've been given the spam mail address that they
NEVER check. While you're at it upgrade to
The one that also corrects cell phone and track

Two seasons through my bedroom window
It was a lovely misty Summer morning this morning and I just managed to catch the sun shining on a patch of land as it rose over the hill.
The day has turned out breezy which is quite nice as it has chased some of the humidity away. The cicadas are chirruping happily and little puffy white clouds are scuttling across the sky now. A perfect lazy day for a Summer holiday.
This is an old photo which was taken on a Winter morning when everywhere was covered in frost. The whiteness really made the orange of the red hot poker flowers stand out.
Frost where I live thaws out by 10 a.m. at the latest, usually followed by gloriously sunny days and blue skies. We usually get 10 or less frosts a year and never any snow, so this is the closest thing to snow we get :)

The Metropolis capital of South Korea. More than 2000 years of history Seoul is a kingdom with five World Heritage Sites, high-tech skyscrapers with a proud nation of pop culture and Buddhism. Seoul is a very busy yet organized city. Best to be explored on foot as the delicious street food almost everywhere will keep you going.
Seoul, the capital of South Korea, is a gigantic city where present day high rises, innovative metros and popular culture meet Buddhist sanctuaries, royal residences and road markets. Prominent attractions incorporate cutting edge Dongdaemun Design Plaza, a tradition corridor with bending engineering and a housetop stop; Gyeongbokgung Palace, which once had more than 7,000 rooms; and Jogyesa Temple, site of old insect and pine trees. Arranged on the Han River, Seoul's history extends back more than two thousand years when it was established in 18 BCE by Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. It proceeded as the capital of Korea under the Joseon Dynasty.
Gyeongbokgung Palace apparently the most wonderful and remains the most terrific of every one of the five royal residences is likewise called "Northern Palace" since it is the uttermost north when contrasted with the neighboring royal residences of Changdeokgung (Eastern Palace) and Gyeongheegung (Western Palace). Another renowned place in Seoul is Myeongdong, it houses an assortment of family eateries, fast food, in addition to Korean, Western and Japanese eating choices. Numerous eateries in Myeongdong work in pork cutlet (donkas) and kalguksu (thick noodles). One of the popular N Seoul Tower is situated on Mt. Namsan offers awesome all encompassing perspectives of the city, and has been an image of Seoul since it initially opened to people in general in 1980.
This is the largest of the five grand palaces of Joseon dynasty that they built. Originally built in 1395, it used to be the home of the kings and the government of Joseon. Sadly, these premises were destroyed by fires in the Imjin war but all 7700 rooms were rebuilt later. It consists of the king's rooms, the throne hall, and several other dwellings that take the onlookers back into the time of the Joseons. The architecture boasts the royalty of ancient Korean culture. It also houses the National Folk Museum of Korea.
In the order of Korean Buddhism the order of Jogye has Jogyesa as its chief temple. Originally built in 1395 in the times of Joseon dynasty, its modern rendition was made in 1910. Located near the Gyeongbokgung Palace, it also has an ancient white pine tree in its ground. This tree is South Korea's Natural Monument no. 9. The Jogyesa temple is a place of religion and history and as part of the historically important places in the country it bears importance for the locals and is a tourist attraction for visitors.
For those who are fond of marine life, this is a place they can't afford miss to see if they make a visit to South Korea. The Coex Museum impresses visitors with its underground marine tunnels that are presented in a manner that leaves tourists in awe. 90 tanks contain 40,000 creatures from 650 species, divided into themed areas such as Garden of Korea, Fish in Wonderland Amazonia world, and 13 other themes arranged in a specific touring order.
Also known as Musee Grevin, this wax museum is an amazing tourist attraction located on the right bank of Siene River in Paris. It is named after its first art director Alferd Grevin and was incepted in 1882. It consists of wax statues of notable persons from French history such as Charlemagne and Napoleon as well as sports stars such as Zinedine Zidane and those from entertainment industry. It also has a mirror maze and a magic show theatre to have a great time at.
Also known as the Gwanghwamun Plaza, it is a pedestrian friendly open space for people of the city of Seoul. An open space for centuries of Korean history, it was converted into a proper 16-Lane road in the 20th century and is a tourist attraction for it is also the location of the six ministries. Its outstanding and astounding feature is the statue of Admiral Yi Sun-Sin, a war hero who led Koreans to victory over the Japanese.
Formerly named Dongdaemun, this is amongst the largest and oldest traditional markets in Seoul with more than 20,000 employees in over 5,000 shops. This market is built over 42,000 meters and has a daily footfall of around 65,000. Historically, this is the first daily market in South Korea when others were just temporary. It has groceries, fruits, fish clothing, handicrafts, kitchenware, souvenirs, and many more categories of items to buy. Traditional Korean cuisine is also available at stalls and restaurants.
South Korea's food for Seoul can be found in a neighborhood that is commonly known as Insadong. Whether you prefer street food or a restaurant, Insa Dong Street has all. Dotting the street are emporiums known for their rich tea culture, galleries for art enthusiasts, souvenir shops, as well as vendors showcasing an assortment of antiquities and ceramic goods. Located in the city of Seoul's Jongno-gu district, Insadong-gil with its network of alleyways attends to both traditionalists and tourists alike.
Towering over Seoul with a height of 236 meters, the N Seoul Tower is a telecommunications and broadcasting tower. It was built in 1971 and has served as the first general radio wave tower in Korea Republic. Apart from the observatory it consists of a café, Children's theatre, photo studio, and a revolving restaurant. It is situated at the Nasman Mountain and is reachable by a cable car up the mountain for tourists. Its day and nighttime panoramic views are perfect for photographers
Located in Gyeongbokgung Palace in Jongno-gu, Seoul, this is a historical museum that consists of replicas of objects that are used to depict history, tradition, and life of Korean people. Its original location was Mount Namsan's site but it was moved to its present location in 1993. Its might led to its merging with the National Museum of South Korea, which is the country's national museum. Like the objects inside, the building's design itself is inspired from many historical buildings throughout South Korea. The museum contains 98,000 artifacts.
On the second portion of the N Tower is Seoul, which is the N Plaza the second floor has a strange yet amazing place .It's called Trees of Love Locks. Strange but true, these love locks are declarations of love made by couples (or even singles) made eternal by locking them. There are specially designated areas where people can leave put locks with messages to their loved ones and these locks include padlocks, cell phone covers and even paper pieces. It's a unique act that locals take quite religiously.

The document confirming the authorship of the Russian company "SPA BioMicroGel" came into force in the country. The patent has been published in the database.
The developed product is based on the ideas from pharmaceutics, where special reagents are used to place a medicinal product in a submicron shell. When the product is delivered to the required organ, the shell dissolves completely. Such reagents change from liquid state to gel-like state and back, depending on the environmental conditions, and are called microgels. Microgels produced by the Russian company cover the pollution (for example, oil droplets) with a polymer film, by forming microcapsules, and then quickly adhere to each other. This results in formation of a jelly-like mass which is easily separated from water. Raw materials for this group of substances are natural products: pectin from apple pomace/sunflower flower heads, and cellulose. While the scientists were studying the reagent properties, they found that biomicrogels can be efficiently used not only in industrial projects but also in the production of household detergents.
SPA BioMicroGel was established in 2012.The company has developed and patented biomicrogels, a unique group of substances based on natural components. SPA BioMicroGel is a graduate of the GenerationS accelerator of the Russian Venture Company (RVC), a resident of the University TechnoPark (Ekaterinburg) and a resident of Skolkovo (Moscow). In 2015, biomicrogels were recognized by Rospatent as one of the top 100 Russian new products. In 2017, the company was listed among the country's top three startups as part of the Startup Village competition. The process of consideration of the application in the national phase in the PRC continued from the end of 2014. Now the process of authorship approval continues in the EU countries, Canada and India.

It was the worst crime scene I had ever witnessed. Evidence of the viscious attack lay strewn about the beige carpet of the victims' living room. Sharp angeled shards of plastic glinted in the unforgiving light of the morning sun. Shreds of printed pages competed with the remains of two ballpoint pens for most desecrated objects. Mangled and broken, its cover punctured by toothmarks, a DVD jacket lay sadly discarded by the sofa. I shook my head in frustration, knelt down to begin the clean up and thought, "The damn dogs have done it again."
That's right— Elgin the Ender and Ator the Abolisher have added to their kill lists. They managed to destroy the CD and CD case of Rumors of the Big Wave, the DVD for Drop Dead Gorgeous, a book of New York Times Crossword Puzzles and a blue ballpoint pen. I can't tell exactly who is responsible for what because they're constantly switching kennels but there was a trail of CD case pieces leading to the big kennel and an equally distressing trail of cd shards leading to the smaller kennel. It was definitely a two-dog operation but it's anyone guess who the actual instigator was. The P had the decency (or common sense?) to grant me his best guilty look but Ms. Ellie was nonplussed, as usual.
This was not their first foray into the world of crime. Oh, no. To date the bullies have destroyed: 5 CDs, 2 DVDs, 6 pairs of shoes, 1 cell phone charger, an i-pod, a set of headphones, and a coffee table. And that's just what I can recall offhand. I'm sure there's more but I don't want to dwell on it too much or I'll go crazy. You can check out the dogs of destruction at flickr by the way. There's even one photo where you can see our old coffee table in the first stage of becoming a chewed on wreck. It took on a rather nice deconstructed look after awhile. So, if you want your own unique piece of post-modern, deconstructionist furniture (drooled on by the original artists) let me know and I'll get the dogs working on it!

I have been racking my mind on a thing to write down relating to this time, and it just slips my thoughts, oh oh writer's block, the muscle mass for muscle autos has left the constructing, hmm perhaps a cup of espresso will repair it, perhaps incredibly hot water cascading more than my noggin, want inspiration, need to have guidance, don't need to disappoint, really like muscle automobiles, I experience identical to a cave guy this early morning ooo-oooo—aww, effectively give an previous man a split, just maybe it's going to all appear back.http://www.gannanvhy.com
Tuning is an important part of making your automobile run correct, and i'm not simply referring to the motor tuning, I'm discussing suspension and chassis tuning also, the engine in the simple aspect, except needless to say you run a turbocharger or supercharger, both of these make the engine more durable to tune, and it's got to get tuned excellent all of the time in case you have both of these, or two fours over a tunnel ram, all of these items could make it go quicker, but demand precise tuning, it is possible to no longer tune by ear, it takes timing lights, vacuum gages, and computers, now not simply a screw driver along with a wrench.
No extra just running to your car areas retail store and getting your cap, rotor, wires, and plugs, and gaping up the plugs and throwing it all on, you might obviously make this happen also, but now you are going to hook up your computer, timing light, and vacuum gage, you cannot have any vacuum leaks, permit your automobile to about heat, or get lazy about your vehicle on the whole, it's a necessity to maintain it in perfect functioning purchase all the time, otherwise you can be expecting substantial problems with it.
It was inside the previous times that when your motor determined to backfire when it experienced a supercharger, you could potentially count on the motor to scatter all over the street, but there have been some improvements, and straightforward kinds, like pop off valves, which make this practically a factor of the previous, but you'd far better be prepared for all the time you can spend retaining your car when you increase this kind of overall performance modification to the car.
Now the suspension tuning aspect may get just a bit included, and it is truly not my specialty, but I will give it the aged college try out, when tuning your suspension you'll want to assume about what it's your likely to work with the car for, in case you construct a 1/4 mile car, it obviously won't take care of that nicely within the corners, and when you construct a car that handles as a result of corners, it's going to even now do alright while in the 1/4 mile, however , you possibly are not heading to acquire a lot of races, so you definitely want to offer this some believed, so that you obtain the suitable car or truck for you personally.
The first point that i can imagine right here if you would like being definitely competitive in almost any type of racing could be the to look at the frame of your car, as well as the power of your motor that your making for it, when you have got a uni-body car, plus your building an engine with far more then 500 HP, you may want to believe about earning it an entire frame car or truck, by either owning a exclusive body developed, by a business like Reher and Morrison, to insure that it may possibly deal with the facility, if you decide to go along with sub frame connectors to save cash. then you definitely should seem in for the products which are that you can buy, compare, and purchase the ideal that you can find, and weld them on, tend not to bolt them on the the top final results.
What sub frame connectors will do in your case, is idiot your uni-body motor vehicle in to thinking that it's got a full frame, it can make your complete car or truck a great deal more rigid, which by nature could make it take care of greater, now I'll try and describe the difference concerning the 2 types of suspension, initially of all, if you've got ever been for the drag strip, you can recognize that when the drag vehicle launches of with the line it squats down during the rear, this is the main massive distinction between the two suspension setups, which has a drag motor vehicle you ought to transfer as much with the weight into the rear of the car while you can when it launches off with the line, this is often how you will make those people hole pictures, and earn races.
In 1/4 mile racing they use ladder bars, and 4 backlink suspension programs to get the power into the pavement, and obtaining the ability to your pavement will be the identify of the sport in 1/4 mile racing, you wish as much of the energy from individuals rear wheels obtaining on the pavement as you possibly can, that's what the burn out is centered on, it is not simply a spectacle, it heats up the tires and creates adhesion to your tarmac floor, it really is an integral part in the obtaining the power for the pavement that i are actually talking about, as soon as you will get your ladder bars, and also your 4 url suspension systems tuned in completely, it'll hook up, and also you will launch just like a rocket.

Tina & Matt in Leadville
One of my favorite sessions this past winter was the engagement photo shoot with Tina and Matt. Not only are they wonderful to work with, they are just wonderful people. They both (because of their backgrounds) understand photography and design and composition, and they are willing to have fun. Most important, because this session was in the dead of winter in Leadville they don't mind being in the cold! And I can't wait for their June wedding in the same locale because we will be able to capture the same places with a completely different look to the background. And because they are wonderful. Enjoy!

With a little persistence -- and a crowd of Baltimore officials behind her -- a teacher at a school for the developmentally disabled says her students have won back the job of passing out major league All-Star ballots at Orioles' games.
Students from the Claremont School in Northeast Baltimore helped pass out and collect the ballots in the stands at Monday night's game, said Nancy R. Malone, their teacher.
Their presence in the stands was the result of a meeting with Orioles officials last month and an outpouring of support that Miss Malone drummed up from city officials and other supporters of the school.
