As I woke up there she was again staring at me. "Oh God I cried, I can't do this anymore", as tears rolled down my cheeks. The more I told her she was not welcome, and that I was not going to put up with her, the larger she seemed to grow.
Then, I realised, once again, she was going to be journeying with me through another day. Hopelessness and despair filled my soul as I prayed for my constant companion to disappear… but she did not. Anxiety had come to stay!
This was my reality for months as I tried to navigate being a wife, mother, ministry leader, friend and having this unwanted companion. One Mother's Day, anxiety brought panic with her that day. I remember knowing I could not face going to my own church, carrying the guilt that the ladies ministry leader, could not lead herself.
Therefore, my two children went to our church with my husband, and I took anxiety and panic with me to another church where I could be anonymous. Never would I have believed that this 'act of failure' would became the first stepping stone on my remarkable journey through anxiety.
The speaker spoke, and I felt I was to ask her if she had every struggled with poor mental health. She confessed she had struggled with anxiety and shared her story of how God had led her to a secular training course which taught her how to practically 'renew her mind', and 'take captive my thoughts' (Rom 12 v1, 2 Cor 10 v 5), and that it had changed her life completely. The only down side was that this course was £600! With no savings, I knew that if God wanted me to go, He would have to provide it and that is exactly what He did!
I was terrified going on the course as I felt so 'broken' but quickly realised that my trainer was speaking from experience. She put my heart at ease as I saw living proof in her life that it worked.
This course was the start of an amazing transformation in my life. It was not an easy journey, and it took real commitment and hard work, to put into practice daily the tools I had learnt. However, after some time I saw just how much my life changed. Others noticed the difference to. Truly, Prov 24v7 was a reality for me now.
God then started to speak to me from the story of Elijah, that after His period in the cave, God told him 'to go back where I had come from'. "Back into anxiety God are you kidding, I just got out of that pit, why on earth would I ever want to go back again?", I questioned. Then I remembered that God wants to use our mess as a message of hope for others. So, knowing how many people are struggling like I was, in obedience, I told God I was willing to go back to help others.
I therefore proceeded to get some qualifications, and started my therapist training in March 2016 and in September 2017 set up my own business called True Colour Transformations Ltd. I started doing 1-2-1 therapy sessions, helping people with anxiety, depression etc.
Then, through a series of circumstances, God spoke to me about rewriting an old course I had written on identity and mental well-being and making it available to young people. So, I revamped it and in fear and trepidation, approached a local high school and asked if we could pilot it with their young people, and incredibly they said yes.
We had such an overwhelming positive response from both the young people and staff that we now run this course in several different high schools, and God is opening incredible doors of influence, we can hardly keep up! We have had the privilege of seeing young lives transformed before our eyes and becoming the 'True Colour' God made them to be. This made going through my darkness worth it to bring others light.
A few months ago, God placed a desire in my heart to write an affordable course giving people tools and techniques to overcome anxiety specifically, and that is when the B.E.A.T.T.S course was birthed. We have piloted it with two groups of young women, and it has proved very effective.
Now we want to make it accessible to more women (and eventually to our wonderful men!) who, like myself, have had anxiety as a constant unwanted companion. I am passionate helping others find the freedom and peace I have, and believe it is time for us to face anxiety in the face and serve her an eviction notice.
If you can relate to my story, please don't live another day with anxiety. Book your place now on the B.E.A.T.T.S Course held on Tuesday October 16, at The White Horse Inn, Trowse from 7pm-10pm through our FB page or call Candy on 07825 136665.
The investment in yourself is just £45. I will share with you different tools and techniques which have been proved by science to effectively combat anxiety. I look forward to seeing you there and setting you on the path to transformation and living life to the full once again!

A monster who tied up and raped a woman in a hotel meeting room during a gaming convention was jailed for 12 years on Monday.
Twisted Keith Hearne rugby tackled Dominique Meehan to the ground after cornering her in a meeting room at the ArcadeCon convention before telling her, "I could break your neck here and now, would you prefer that?"
The 28-year-old then bound her hands behind her back with his tie, stripped her and raped her.
When she screamed he told her he had a knife in his bag and would use it if she wasn't quiet.
Handing down the 12-year sentence at the Central Criminal Court, Justice Patrick McCarthy said it was difficult to express the horror and seriousness of the offence.
He added Hearne carried out "a series of extremely violent sexual offences
in circumstances which consisted of her false imprisonment over a period of time".
The judge told the court: "This is an offence of the utmost seriousness for this class of offence".
He said Hearne's only mitigating factor was his guilty plea and noted he was caught during the act, which he said further reduced any mitigating factor.
Applause rang out in court after the sentence was handed down but Hearne gave no reaction.
The brute, from Allenton Drive, Tallaght, South Dublin, pleaded guilty to two counts of rape, one of oral rape and one of falsely imprisoning Ms Meehan at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Blanchardstown, West Dublin, on July 4, 2015.
His bag containing a prop knife, handcuffs, condoms, a mask and "sadomasochistic" items was later found at the scene. Ms Meehan said she wished to waive her right to anonymity to help more people come forward about sexual abuse.
Outside court the 25-year-old insisted she was "ecstatic" at the sentence, even though she felt it was too light.
She said: "This is what the gaming community needed to prove that this man was as evil as he is," adding she would not be able to attend a gaming conference for a very long time.
Ms Meehan said: "People still aren't taking it seriously. They're still allowing their staff to go on their own, and while it wasn't ArcadeCon's fault I was on my own, we have to learn from this.
"If conventions don't learn from this then it's going to happen again."
She also told how nothing in her life is the same since the attack, adding: "I have to treat every day like someone is going to rape me. I'm constantly on alert."
Defence barrister Michael Bowman SC previously told the court Hearne had mental health issues, was bipolar and had not taken his medication for some time around the time of the attack.
But Mr Justice McCarthy found he was "of sound mind" when he carried out the offence, noting that since the attack Hearne had failed to take his medication for periods of time.
He ordered that Hearne should remain under post-release supervision for five years.

In posting my interview over at Petchie's Blog Book (which you should check out if you haven't), I realized that I had forgotten to post my interview over at Early Mama.
She does a series of Q & A's with "early mamas," which in her blog community is a relative term. If you feel like an early mama, you are one. Anyway, I was excited to provide a perspective on parenting and academia. It's a few months old, but please check it out!

Toward the end of last year, we attended SAP TechEd in Las Vegas to understand where SAP is taking its products from a technology standpoint and to gain insight into the company's overall vision for its customers. Based on this experience, formal announcements and SAP employee feedback over the past few months, we have put together a list of the top SAP technology trends of 2016. This analysis will be split into five short pieces that will be released over the course of several days. Together, the series will present a complete view of the SAP world for the coming year.
Core technology themes for 2016
The core themes for SAP this year are expected to be the cloud, S/4 and HANA, since SAP is positioning its offerings as the "digital core" for modern businesses. SAP technology is currently in an active delivery cycle, producing product updates and adding features. Focus on S/4HANA is expected, but the coming innovations on the core HANA platform will be interesting — HANA is truly becoming a full-fledged development and runtime environment, not just an in-memory database. It will be able to host applications using a wide range of technologies, such as TomEE and Node.js, and provide enterprise integration options, all while getting support through SAP's development tools.
This series will dig deeper into what these changes mean for SAP customers, especially developers, admins, DABs and users.
We will explore the following four topics in depth:
- HANA and S/4: Simplifying to grow
- ABAP, CDS and Solution Manager: Custom development
- SAP and Cloud: Continues to fly
- Fiori: A view into the future
This is by no means an exhaustive list of all SAP focus topics. It is just our opinion on what will stand out in the coming year, especially as it relates to the impact on development and adoption of new features in 2016. Stay tuned as we go through each topic, and feel free to voice your thoughts. We would love to hear your ideas and answer any questions in the comments section.

Tesla Model S owners in Hong Kong find autopilot features suddenly disabledtechcrunch.com
After a very long wait for long-promised autopilot features, Model S owners in Hong Kong were surely unhappy to discover yesterday that those same features have now been remotely disabled.
According to the International Business Times, Hong Kong officials told Tesla to remove the semiautonomous driving technology until authorities can confirm the features are safe.
The downside of all those automatic updates is that a government can basically shut down a service remotely, for any reason. Imagine if suddenly someone could delete a certain book on all Kindle devices on the planet. This is where we are going if we do not pay attention.Read more...

Help! My Thermostat Isn't Working Properly
When it's working a thermostat is a remarkable device, allowing you to easily control the temperature in your home. But when your thermostat isn't working properly, it can leave you in a potentially dangerous situation. Not being able to turn on the air conditioner may make your uncomfortable but winter cold and an inability to turn on the heater is a frightening combination.
First, a warning – Fixing a malfunctioning thermostat can be complicated and is usually best left to a professional technician.
However, there is one easy fix that the homeowner can try is to replace the batteries in a thermostat. If the heater is working, but there are no digits registering on the LCD display faceplate, the battery could be the problem. Simply pop off the faceplate on the thermometer and replace the two batteries.
If you push the faceplate back into place and everything turns on again, it was a battery problem. You are a lucky guy! Now grab a cup of coffee and settle back into your easy chair for a night of TV viewing.
Testing equipment
If new batteries did not fix the problem, your HVAC person should be called to the scene. Most likely he will arrive with a multimeter for testing different wiring problems.
But don't panic, it might be an easy fix. A close visual inspection might reveal that whoever installed the device might have nicked one of the wires when he was stripping the ends for connection into the terminals. This means that a small spot on the wire that should be covered with insulation is bare. If the bare wire is touching another live wire or a metal bracket, it could cause a short and the thermostat wouldn't function properly.
Another trouble spot is when two of the wires are touching each other and causing a short. Often the place where the short is happening is not visible. The technician doesn't need Superman's x-ray vision to diagnose this situation. Instead he uses a multimeter. He disconnects the two wires from the thermostat and uses the multimeter's alligator clips to clip onto each wire. The device will indicate a reading in ohms. A low reading is good, meaning the current is flowing easily through the wires. A reading of 2.0 or more is bad. That resistance, plus resistance in the other wires, is probably enough to blow the 3.0-ohm fuse.
Portable fuse
The use of the multimeter is helpful for the technician to be able to isolate which wires are the trouble spots and which wires can be left alone. Some technicians also will bring with them a portable fuse "Lil Popper." This device is useful after a fuse has blown. By connecting the Lil Popper to the fuse plug he can quickly determine which wires are overloading the fuse and concentrate his efforts there.
Here are some of the ground rules the technician will use during his examination to see why the thermostat is not working properly. Usually, the red wire coming into the device carries 24 volts. What is being required of the thermostat will determine which of the other signal wires carries the current out.
Another simple test would be to wire the red "hot" wire with the white wire. The technician might simply secure those with a screw-on cap. If the furnace begins running, then that circuit is working, and not the problem.
The technician can check out the other wires in a similar fashion to see if any of them are part of the problem.
If your thermostat flunks these tests and a new one must be installed, run an extra line through the system. For example, if the system needs four lines, run a fifth line. That way if there is a problem in the future, the technician can simply disconnect the troublesome wire and connect the back-up line.
The homeowner who finds his thermostat is not working properly needs to contact a reliable HVAC company. The company technician can carefully test the wiring of the device to see if it needs to be replaced. Be sure that the company you select uses experienced, trained technicians. The company's reputation for reliability is important to ensure that your thermostat is properly tested and fixed or replaced.
If the red wire connects or touches the blue wire it would probably short out the fuse which protects the transformer from suffering damage.
One way to make future fixes easy when installing a thermostat is to run an extra line through the system. For example, if the system needs four lines, run a fifth line. That way if there is a problem in the future, the technician can simply disconnect the troublesome wire and connect to the back-up line.

Hello and welcome to The Flourishing Pantry!
Hello! My name is Vicky and I'm a coach, retreat host and blogger helping busy entrepreneurs seeking healthier ways to eat and live.
Following years struggling with IBS I changed my diet in 2016 and started my blog The Flourishing Pantry to share my discoveries.
Blogging catapulted me into a world of amazing and powerful ideas for how to live a healthier life through food, movement and mindset. I knew I wanted to be a part of it and had so much I wanted to give back. So in 2017 I left my full-time job and started to work for myself.
My path hasn't always been straight-forward and I haven't always had it all figured out. In many ways I still don't.
I've been sucked into fads, cut out huge food groups from my diet, fallen on and off the exercise bandwagon, felt completely confused about my future path and been struck down with imposter syndrome more times than I can count. I've also signed up to deliver too much work for other people leaving me exhausted, angry and unfulfilled.
But over time I've come to identify what my own passion, skills and experience can manifest into and that's what brings me here today.
I want to share with you my journey, the things I've learned and the tips and advice I can give you now, working for myself and prioritising my health just as highly as my business.
I want to help other women looking to make changes for a healthier life whilst they build awesome brands.
I use my experiences, set-backs and revelations to bring you my best hacks, know-how and resources that will help you prioritise you.
Join the conversation with me on social media or right here on the blog. Or maybe sign up for my e-course or come along to one of my retreats. However you connect know that you'll be getting the healthiest advice I can offer you every single day.

Antonio Giovinazzi moved into second place in the championship standings after claiming his third victory of 2016 during Sunday's Sprint race at Spa-Francorchamps.
The Italian racer made amends for a difficult Feature race when, starting from pole position, he messed up his start and was unable to better sixth place, with the Prema Racing driver admitting he was baffled by his sluggish getaway.
"There isn't much to say," said Giovinazzi on Saturday. "I had a bad start and we have to investigate why. After that, I had a small contact with [Alex] Lynn at the first corner so all the race went bad after that.
"I managed to finish P6. I got good points for the championship but it's disappointing after starting from pole. Now we will be taking-off from P3 tomorrow. We will investigate the start and try to improve for Race 2".
Giovinazzi got a much better start on Sunday to move into second, then made his move on Gustav Malja for the lead, a position he would hold onto until the chequered flag in the Ardennes forest.
"Finally we had a good start and I waited for the DRS to become available," admitted Giovinazzi on Sunday. "I tried to overtake Malja and it was a good move. After that I just managed the tires.
"Phenomenal job again by Prema and I can't wait for my home race in Monza next weekend. I hope we will continue performing like we did so far in the championship in order to fight for the title".

Marcia C. Heller, 73, of East Stroudsburg, passed away Sunday, July 19, at Ocean Springs Nursing Center in Ocean Springs, Miss. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Robert F. Heller, who passed on Dec. 30, 2003.
Born Jan. 30, 1936, in East Stroudsburg, she was the daughter of the late Marshall and Catherine Keiper.
Originally from Long Pond, she lived most of her life in East Stroudsburg, eventually relocating to Shawnee-on-Delaware and recently to Ocean Springs, Miss., where her son, Doug, and his wife, Dinah, reside. In Mississippi, she lived at "The Gardens" home for assisted living. She was very happy there and enjoyed her recent friendships with the other residents.
During her working career, Marcia held various secretarial positions at East Stroudsburg University, ultimately becoming secretary to the president. She took great pride in her work at the university and cherished the friends she made during that period of her life.
During her younger years, she enjoyed traveling with her husband and three children, whom she loved very much. She had a gift for creativity, including painting, cake decorating, ceramics, sewing, knitting, interior decorating and landscaping her homes.
She was a member of Calvary Baptist Church.
She will be dearly missed by her loved ones. Surviving are her two sons, Douglas Heller and his wife, Dinah, of Ocean Springs, Miss., and Duane Heller and his wife, Lynn, of Bushkill; her daughter, Denise Domotor of Portland; siblings Dale Keiper, Melva Bell, Richard Keiper and Cherry Galpin; three cherished granddaughters, Michelle and Emily Heller and Kendra Domotor; lots of loved "grand-dogs" and many nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her beloved sister, Anita Angradi.
A memorial service and celebration of Marcia's life will be held at 5 p.m. Tuesday, July 28, at Calvary Baptist Church in Stroudsburg.
Because of the great joy she got from seeing her granddaughters onstage in musical productions, her family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to: Sherman Theater Renovation Fund, 524 Main St., Stroudsburg, PA 18360; or at www.shermantheater.com.

This article is the second of a six part series where I will discuss the basics of coding in HTML. So stay tuned!
In Part 1 of this series, I demonstrated seven HTML tags that are most common in web coding practices. Part 2 will continue on with this theme by discussing three kinds of lists.
HTML Tags – Part 2: The Unordered and Ordered Lists Tags
Have you ever seen a post where the author talks about their favorite movies or foods? They'll have them listed with either bullets or numbers, making it easy to read. If you think that doing this task is easy, YOU'RE RIGHT!
The two list commands that are used are the unordered list (<ul>) and the ordered list (<ol>) tags. When you use the unordered list, you will see the default value of circles or squares, depending on what browser you're using, at the beginning of each list item. And when using the ordered list, you'll see numbers.
In order to display the items in both list tags, the list item tag (<li>) must be used. It helps display each item one at a time by typing the opening tag before the individual item and the closing tag afterwards.
As always, the image above shows a partial view of Adobe Dreamweaver, the software that I use to code a website and upload its content to my hosting account. Something you may have noticed is that I did not place either of the list tags within the <p> tag. That is because it will read as being illegal according to web standards.
HTML Tags – Part 2: Definition List Tag
Another kind of list you can create is a definition list. It works similar to referencing a word in a dictionary. There are three tags associated with this structure;
- <dl> – the opening tag that encloses the definition list
- <dt> – the definition term or word that will be defined
- <dd> – the definition data of the term being presented
Below is an example of its structure and how it looks:
This example shows a form of indentation and presentational structure to a page without using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). When you feel comfortable learning how to code using HTML, you will be able to move on to my tutorials concerning CSS and see, when used together, how they can make your page very attractive.
What Questions Do You Have?
What questions do you have on the 3 lists used in HTML? Post your questions on my Facebook Page.

Parts of a Reserve Study: The Component List
The Component List is one of the three results of a Reserve Study, providing a listing of the major common area assets the association is responsible to maintain. A Component List typically includes the following information about each Reserve Component: Name, Description, Useful Life, Remaining Useful Life, and Current Replacement Cost.
The Component List serves as the foundation of a Reserve Study since it defines the scope and schedule of all Reserve expenses. Reserve Fund Strength and Funding Plan calculations will be performed on the basis of those expenses. It is wise to review your Component List for accuracy after it is developed, and updated it annually as your Components age or are replaced, and as costs change.

Sunday, January 10, 2010
My name is Aoife. Jenny and I are on a new work adventure. We have set up a furniture business. We've been working on it for a few months now and it seems to be taking shape, one baby step at a time.
We buy mid century furniture; mostly danish/scandinavian design, and lovingly restore it. We call ourselves Table Lighting Chair. Get it?
So far the most popular items have been dining tables and chairs. In general the tables are teak, both solid and veneered. The chairs are left with their original upholstery if it is in good nick, otherwise we reupholster with funky textiles, like the photo of the chair here.
We spent yesterday down at our studio cleaning the place up and getting it ready for an opening (yet to be decided!). We are located off Donore Avenue, Rutledge Terrace, Dublin 8. It was freezing down there but a few pairs of socks and thermals as well as plenty of scrubbing and moving of furniture heated us up nicely. We got a few good photos. All the snow, crisp blue white proved a perfect backdrop. The photos will be uploaded very soon.
Next week will be a busy one. We are at the brocante market next sunday, 17th January 2010. See www.newmarketbrocante.com for more info. So we will spend the week preparing for it. Come down and see us there.

Sounds great, I've loved your ceramics for years and the name you ended up with for your business is just perfect.
When I come over to Dublin I'd like to buy one of your lamps. Preferable one looking like the blue one seen above with the lace incorporated. I hope I can get it back with Aer Lingus!
Lots of TLC from Soeren :-)
BTW, very good blogspot web design, classy.ReplyDelete
Hey, very nice site. I came across this on Google, and I am stoked that I did. I will definitely be coming back here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just taking in as much info as I can at the moment.logo design servicesReplyDelete

Breaking News Emails
North Korea has proposed talks with South Korea to be held on Nov. 26 at the truce village on their militarized border, the North's official KCNA news agency said Friday.
The talks, if held, would be the first government-level meeting focused on easing tension since the two sides agreed to improve ties following an armed standoff in August.
The North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea, its main agency handling inter-Korean ties, proposed to hold working-level contact for government talks, KCNA said.
An official at South Korea's Unification Ministry, which handles ties with the North, confirmed receiving Pyongyang's proposal and said it would soon make a decision on whether to accept it, possibly later Friday.
The South has proposed to hold government talks on several occasions following the agreement on Aug. 25, which ended a standoff that involved an exchange of artillery fire amid an escalation of tension following landmine blasts at the border.
The North expressed regret over the landmine incident that wounded South Korean soldiers, which Seoul blamed on Pyongyang. The South said the North's expression of regret was in effect an apology, although Pyongyang subsequently denied it.
"Now we're back on again, the game's afoot," John Delury, a North Korea expert at Yonsei University in Seoul, said, adding the proposal for working-level talks would ease the way for the two sides to get on with discussions.
"Sometimes these talks break down before they even start over what level to send, so this sounds like a very pragmatic and straightforward approach," he added.

With so many Super things going on this week I nearly forgot that today was Super Free Boob Day down in N'arleans. Tomorrow, we sell all our stock in companies that make cheap plastic beads because the earning reports tomorrow are going to sink faster than a Tulane co-ed's self respect tonight.
With Fat Tuesday comes the sad reminder that DC no longer has its own Mardi Gras-styled bar/roofie factory. Still. Sure, there are places where you can see Doug Hill take his shirt off (dear god I hope so) but if you want the real authentic New Orleans feeling, you probably have to drive to Baltimore. Or at least Bowie.
We spoke of Lulu's passing last year with hushed and reverential voices. I also pretty much exhausted all I had to say about the place. It was a sleaze pit that was always way too humid and it smelled bad. But it served its purpose of keeping jerks and skanks away from the high class bars I was going to like the Brass Monkey or that one in Georgetown where you can't wear a hat.
Much has changed since last February's trot down to Lulu's for the little memorial. First, we found out that there was going to be a Walgreens built on that sullied ground and we rejoiced. Then, one of those neighborhood newspapers said that the deal had fallen through and there was sorrow in all the land. For a while, it looked like crappy old CVS was going to maintain it's strangle hold on our candy and pills, seeing it's the only drugstore within 30 blocks that isn't another CVS. But two month's ago there was word that someone got their act together and Walgreens was coming back.
(I've only been to a Walgreen's twice. The first was one in Missouri when I was lost and needed a map. The second time was in Wisconsin and I needed a Nerf football and a sweatshirt because I was flying to Hawaii. Both times, Walgreen had what I needed. My only reservation is that they seemed like they are claustrophobic-ly over-crowded with products. But this is a better option than any CVS, where the products are always under-stocked and/or on the floor in piles.)
Indeed, it looks like they are putting the finishing touches on Walgreens and soon CVS will never darken our lives again. If Lulu's had to go, at least the space will serve a noble anti-CVS cause.
Of course, they also built a Starbucks.
My original plan was to march on down to the former Lulu's site and present everyone with beads. It turns out, however, that the people at Starbucks aren't really down with that. Also, I couldn't find any beads. So I've had to rehash last year's memorial.
I stole one set of giant beads from someone who's out of town and went to work. I hope someone takes them off the fence and has a good time tonight.

It makes total sense if you know the story behind it. It's telling, however, is forbidden in the bylaws of this site.

In an effort to blog more regularly, we are introducing a weekly post segment, where we will share a life hack style tip every Tuesday. It could be about anything - eco tips, financial tips, cooking tips, something crafty, or maybe even a crazy good sale we've come across. The point is, it will be something fantastic that we think needs sharing.
Feel free to add your own tips in the comments or even let us know suggestions for future Tuesday tips!
Without further ado, the first tip for 2015:
Making your own buttermilk
Buttermilk is one of those ingredients that I use rarely, and don't tend to have on hand for the rare recipe that requires it. No problem though! You can make your own buttermilk from regular milk - just add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and let it stand for 5 minutes or so. The neat thing is that this tip works in other milk types as well, so you can make soy buttermilk!
Note that the milk will curdle a little. That's part of the process, and you use the curds in your cooking as well. No need to skim them off at all.
Do you use buttermilk? What are your favourite buttermilk recipes?

HAGERSTOWN — Officials with The Salvation Army said Monday they have almost reached their fundraising goal to build a $1.8 million facility that would include new offices and a gymnasium in Hagerstown's West End.
Maj. Robert Lyle said the building would be behind existing Salvation Army buildings on George Street. He said The Salvation Army has raised about $1 million for the project and officials hope to raise the remaining $800,000 within the next several months.
"We believe we should be able to start (construction) by July," Lyle said. "We've outgrown our current facilities. We've been in this location since 1949."
Lyle said the bulk of construction would occur on the land that houses a playground behind the existing Salvation Army buildings. The playground, he said, would be moved to another spot on the property.
The Salvation Army started fundraising about six weeks ago, Lyle said, but the official campaign won't begin until Jan. 17.
"We had a couple of board members step up and make generous donations," he said.
The building that currently houses The Salvation Army offices at 534 W. Franklin St. will be converted into transitional housing to help women and children who can't afford a place to stay, Lyle said. When finished, the facility will have about 45 beds.
Lyle said the new building will have office spaces for The Salvation Army and provide a gymnasium in which children can play during inclement weather. The gymnasium, he said, also can be used to host job fairs and other activities.
Washington County Commissioner John Barr, who serves with Amy Whittington as co-chair of The Salvation Army's Capital Campaign to raise money for the new building, said The Salvation Army has served a vital role feeding and clothing residents in the city's West End for the past 61 years.
"(The new facility) will be a tremendous asset to the community," Barr said.
Lyle said he wanted to thank the community for its financial support toward the new building.
"We have a community that believes in The Salvation Army," he said. "We want to tell them we appreciate that."
Over the last year, The Salvation Army has served 16,000 residents in Hagerstown and the surrounding area, according to Salvation Army statistics.

DIY Swiss Cheese Leaf Soaps
Hello my dear friends!
Who does not love nature? I don't know! Recently I fell in love with the soap making and today I have decided to share this awesome DIY tutorial on how to make a cool green soap in the shape of a Swiss Cheese Plant leaf. I am very excited for this one.
- Melt and Pour soap – clear and white
- Concentrated Food Coloring
- Swiss Cheese Cookie Cutters
- Fragrance Oils
- Foil Tray
- Hammer
- Heat Proof Measuring Jug
- Cocktail Sticks
- Lollipop Sticks
Get all you need and let's get started!
Step 1
Cut up the soap into small pieces. Put them in the microwavable jug and heat until its liquid. Make a water bath on a low heat.
Step 2
We are going to create a few different shades of a green color so we should mix blue and yellow food coloring. Pour the coloring into the melted soap. Pour some essential oils for a good smell. Get any oils and scents you want. Pour the melted soap into the tray. To marble the colors mix them together as they cool.
Step 3
Pour some of the light coloring and keep mixing the soap. Eventually, the soap will become uneven. You can simply cut off the protruding pieces or just leave it uneven – as you prefer. Make sure that the level of the melted soap is as high as the cookie cutter.
Step 4
When the soap cooled take the hammer and the cookie cutter. Gently tap on the cutters using the hammer to help its go inside the soap. Then carefully take out the cutter with the soap.
Step 5
Push the soap out of the cutter and repeat the Step 5 until you will cut all of the soap.
Voila! Now you have these super cool leaf soaps! You can also follow these instructions but get the other shapes of The cookie cutters and use different colors.
These soap pieces will be just amazing for a present and will be a good addition to your bathroom as well! And my favorite part of them is that they are made with love and Natural!

Best USB Type-C Accessories and Cables
USB Type-C is the new standard connector for both charging and data on laptops, phones and tablets. While not every device has this powerful port yet, a number of prominent notebooks, including the Apple MacBook Pro, Dell XPS 13, Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe, HP Elitebook x360 and a slew of other laptops employ it. With Type-C on board, you can copy files at USB 3.1 speeds, deliver enough power to charge a laptop or use Alt Mode to send other types of data using DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 3 connections.
Latest News and Updates (December 2018)
- One of our favorite USB-C hubs, the Kingston Nucleum, is currently on sale for $47.26 from Amazon.
- We just reviewed the latest MacBook Air, which exclusively has Thunderbolt 3 ports. It's at a $100 discount during B&H's current sale.
Looking forward, you can expect USB 3.2 to come soon, which is another version of USB Type-C. It doubles regular USB Type-C speeds at 20MBps, but is half of Thunderbolt 3 speeds. The best part, though, is that when you upgrade to a laptop that supports it, it will work on all of your existing cables, so no need to wait on buying them.
Microsoft finally adopted USB Type-C on the Surface Book 2, so now every major vendor is supports the new standard in some way.
All Thunderbolt 3 ports use the Type-C connector and are compatible with both the faster Thunderbolt 3 standard and regular Type-C devices. Because Thunderbolt 3 has four times the bandwidth (40 MBps) of standard USB Type-C 3.1, you can connect to external GPUs which let you play games on your thin and light notebook. Some docks also take advantage of the faster speeds.
MORE: USB Type-C FAQ: Everything You Need to Know
Below you'll find a list of USB Type-C accessories that will help you continue to use your older USB-A peripherals, charge your devices, provide extra ports and take advantage of USB Type-C's ability to output 4K video. It's everything you'll need to make the most out of the new connector, especially as it ends up on a growing list of devices.

WGGE produces this tangle-free, nylon braided, 10-foot USB-C to USB-C cable for only $10.99. You can use it to charge USB-C devices as well as connect external hard drives and docking stations. And if you don't want the joy of a really long, inexpensive wire, you can get the 6.6-foot version for an even cheaper $8.99. WGGE also includes a two-year warranty with it.
Plugable USB-C Triple Display Dock
The Plugable USB-C Triple Display Dock (UD-ULTCD) is the best pick for early adopters who need a dock. It works with the newest standards, like USB Type-C for charging and external displays and supports 4K monitors. We didn't like that it's locked into vertical orientation, but you can't argue for great performance and support for three displays at the same time.
Aukey USB-C to USB 3.0 Adapter
If you don't want to buy a whole bunch of new cables, you can grab a tiny adapter. Aukey's USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter is small and will work with any of your legacy peripherals. It also doesn't hurt that you get a two-pack for just $10, so you can just multiple USB Type-A accessories with your new computer at once.
Samsung Portable SSD T5
The Samsung Portable SSD T5 takes the spot of its predecssor, the T3, on this list, with even faster speeds and a better design. It comes with both a USB Type-C cable and a USB-C to USB 3.0 cable, so you can use it with any laptop and many newer Android phones. It has blazing fast transfer speeds of up to 540MBps, and backed up my computer extremely quickly. I love the new blue color for the 250GB ($127.99) and 500GB models ($196) , while the 1TB ($397.99) and 2TB ($797.99) options come in black. The thing is tiny -- smaller than a credit card -- and includes a three-year warranty.
SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive
If you're transferring data between USB Type-A and USB Type-C devices, SanDisk's two-sided Ultra Dual flash drive is the perfect storage solution. Starting at 16GB, this flash drive uses a slider to switch between a USB 3.0 Type-A connector on one side and a USB Type-C connector on the other, so you will see blazing speeds on both ends of the transfer. You can also get it in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB sizes.
Apple USB-C Power Adapter
No doubt your USB Type-C device came with a charger. But extras never hurt, and the 30W Apple USB Type-C Power Adapter is a compact and sleek-looking choice. Just remember that you need to bring your own USB Type-C to USB Type-C charging cable.
Dell USB Type-C to HDMI/Ethernet/VGA/USB 3.0 Adapter
This USB Type-C adapter from Dell can do the work of several adapters by allowing you to plug into displays, attach older USB accessories and connect to wired Internet with one compact adapter that's easy to take with you anywhere. It's the Swiss Army Knife of USB Type-C attachments.
Anker PowerCore+ 20100 USB Type-C Power Bank
Laptops, tablets and smartphones keep getting thinner, and most don't have replaceable batteries. Certain USB Type-C ports, like the ones on the 12-inch MacBook and Google's Pixel C, support charging, so Anker has introduced a high-capacity external battery that will keep your battery full on the go. This battery also features two USB-A ports to feed hungry tablets, headphones and other rechargeable gadgets.
Kingston Nucleum 7-in-1 Connetion
Apple's 12-inch MacBook has one measly USB Type-C port, but Kingston's hub can make it much more useful. It boasts two USB Type-A 3.1 ports, two Type-C ports (including one for power, an HDMI output for up to 4K resolution, an SD card slot and a microSD card slot. That's enough to transfer data, power monitors and use both new and old USB accessories.
AmazonBasics USB-C to USB-A Cable (White)
This 3-foot, $9.99 cable will come in handy wherever you go, especially in situations where you have a USB-C device and are surrounded by USB-A charging stations. And whether you need to transfer files to an older computer via a connected smartphone or hard drive, Amazon has got your back with that 10 Gbps data transfer speed. We updated this with the white cable because the black one was out of stock.
Scosche PowerVolt 3.0 USB-C / USB-A Fast Charger for Cars
With a blazing Power Deliver 3.0 system, Scosche's USB Type-C (18W) and Type-A (12W) car charger will keep up to two devices fully charged for a journey across the country, all for $24.99. It's up to 3 times faster than typical 5W chargers, and it also includes an LED power indicator as well as safety measures to prevent your device from overcharging.
Uni USB-C to HDMI Cable
If you don't want to blow $60 on a dock just to connect your laptop to another monitor, then this cable is perfect for you. It's just $20 and it can handle 4K at 60-Hz. Not to mention that the cable itself is durable due to the braided nylon and aluminum casing around the wire. If that wasn't enough, the cable can connect to your smartphone as well.
Mindorlen USB C to Headphone Jack Adapter
With the recent announcement of the Google Pixel Slate, you may have noticed that Google's newest detachable doesn't have a headphone jack. But have no fear, Mindorlen is here with its USB C to headphone jack adapter. The adapter supports music control as well as calling control. And Mindorlen also includes a one-year warranty.

It's all hip bones and pelvis in front of me. Of course it's a butterfly, a jesus face, two eels skulking out of black coral, but then they come: twin fetuses curling into one another. One still-wet spot connects them like halves. My darling fat accidents. My little globs of ink and psyche. Big fat jagged holes shine bright where their hearts should be. I cannot see their eyes but I know they are watching as I turn the page to the left. I cannot unsee them— these tiny chubby half-moons. But now their fat heads are where their soft bellies should be and surely they know I've stolen them right from the bottle, right from the pages of someone else's book. And now just what do I do with them? Do I keep them folded in my pocket? Recycle them in the big blue bins? Do I name them Josiah and Ana? I wonder at them, search them, those perfect kidney beans, my conjoined carnival sideshow, maybe I see the soft bulb of my own nose in their inky presence… I trace their jelly spines and fingers softly reaching out and away to the edge—it cuts so thin they'd never see it & when I move to the center of the page again, they're gone. They've betrayed me. They're as meaningless as a bad birthday card, a picture of someone's cat. A stain on a shirt you never wanted anyway.

Halloween approaches! I am thrilled as always, and Halloween has been my favorite evening of the year for as long as I can remember. I miss Trick-or-Treating quite a bit though. Apparently you can't get away with that when you're 20. The last time I went Trick-or-Treating, I was dressed as a winter fairy and I had a wonderful time. I could tell that I was getting on in the years, and that it would be in my best interest to lay the tradition to rest after I was invited into the house of a much older gentleman who seemed to have unsettling intentions. The perversity of the world goes by totally unnoticed by the young, and I often wish I could look at the world the way I did when I was young. UCSB is infamous for its incredible and ridiculous Halloween debauchery. Of course as a Freshmen I looked forward to this, as a long time Halloween lover. I put on my fabulous costume, into which I had poured weeks of effort, only to discover in disappointment that the general uniform of the Santa Barbara Halloween girl consisted of a bra, cheeky panties, an animal headband, and some fairy wings. I wandered around for hours, wading my way through 30,000+ people on Del Playa in a haze of boredom. Crowds are impressive, but they make me uncomfortable. It wasn't too long before I was groped by a stranger (likely someone from out of town) and decided to call it a night. A very uninteresting and incredibly disappointing night.
I considered not going out this year, and opting to go home and give out candy in costume instead of facing the lecherous crowds of drunken creepers and douchebag frat boys who basically took a huge shit on my favorite holiday. Finally I decided to give it another go, settled on a costume, and lined up a few parties.I won't disclose who I will masquerade as just yet; I prefer to leave that as a surprise!
Tonight begins the festivities of Halloween in IV. I will be participating in a Zombie Run on the 6500 block of Del Playa. I think I will portray a zombie school girl. It should be pretty fun, but I've learned to assume that people will ruin anything that sounds fun. Hopefully there will be lots of townies to terrify!
Now for some reviewing.
Usually I am nothing short of irritated when goth becomes the pet interest of the fashion industry, but of course that is a terribly immature way to think. Now that I'm a bit more mature and secure in my sense of style, I have grown to appreciate trends that appear a bit darker than most. If anything, I'm quite flattered! Anyway, apparently dark lips are a big hit this fall. Of course, I haven't seen anyone else sporting them (as I always do) but this presents the rare opportunity to buy quality black lipstick.
As soon as I could, I ordered a tube of MAC Black Knight. Mmmmm! Have you ever seen anything so lovely? I was thrilled! I am pleased to say that I am LOVING it thus far, and highly recommend it for daily use. It has fantastic staying power (especially when used with a long wearing lip liner), and just the precise amount of shine.
Up close with artificial light, followed by natural light (ahhh it burns!). Ignore the complete lack of makeup on the rest of my face :(
Agghhh I need a better camera so that I can really do this.. grrrr... my half birthday was just a few weeks ago?

The sows farrowed during this quarter represented 50 percent of the breeding herd. The average pigs saved per litter was a record high 10.31 for the March-May period, compared to 10.09 last year. Pigs saved per litter by size of operation ranged from 7.70 for operations with 1-99 hogs and pigs to 10.40 for operations with more than 5,000 hogs and pigs.
Quarterly Hogs and Pigs Inventory – United States: June 1
United States hog producers intend to have 2.93 million sows farrow during the June-August 2013 quarter, down slightly from the actual farrowings during the same period in 2012, and down slightly from 2011.

USDA Hogs & Pigs Report a Mixed Bag
Economist Steve Meyer writes, "USDA's quarterly Hogs and Pigs report, released last Friday afternoon, was a mixed bag. Most of the key pieces of data were within one per cent of the analysts' averages in pre-report estimates – but a few key numbers differed substantially."

By: Oliver LaFarge
Houghton Mifflin Company, 1929
Laughing Boy is the story of the clash of Navajo and American societies in the early 1900s. The title character, Laughing Boy, marries Slim Girl, a young orphaned Navajo who was sent to American schools as a child. LaFarge explores the deep love that Laughing Boy has for the Navajo way and the bitterness that Slim Girl experiences as a result of her time spent in the American school where she was forced to take on the American ways and forget her own. Slim Girl seeks revenge on the Americans by marrying a Navajo, but ultimately finds a link to her people that she never expected.
While I often struggled with the flowery language used to describe Navajo society, mythology, rituals, and even everyday living, I was interested to read a story that is different from any Pulitzer winners I have read to date. Having lived as a child in New Mexico and spending time there most summers of my life since, I was able to visualize LaFarge's descriptions of the outpost towns, landscape, and Navajo dwellings and art. I know I would have never read this book on my own and I'm not sure that I will read it again, but it did expose me to some unfamiliar Navajo ideas and traditions which always make a reading worthwhile.

VISUAL LITERACY IN THE 21st CENTURY (WITH TIMOTHY PHILLIPS, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC) AND AGM
Berufliche Schule für Medien und Kommunikation, Eulenkamp 46, Hamburg
(google map: https://goo.gl/Ve3W9A)
Register by writing to chair(at)helta.de by 11 May
(Attendance/Fortbildung certificates provided)
This event will be followed by the HELTA AGM (at 1930)
Visual Literacy in the 21 st Century Classroom
Presented by Timothy Phillips (National Geographic)
(120 mins)
We live in a visual age. It is estimated that 1.2 trillion photos will be taken this year, each person worldwide with a smartphone taking on average 10 photos per day. At the same time 300 hours of video are uploaded to You Tube every minute with 4 billion video views every day.
Hence, we are all curious. And there is nothing more crucial in the classroom than curiosity – regardless of our learners' age. Curiosity relates directly to motivation and engages learners in developing the skills they need when operating in the world outside in a second or foreign language. What better way is there of evoking curiosity than by using engaging visuals?
In this workshop, we will be looking at how different kinds of authentic visual materials, – in particular photos and infographics – can be used effectively in the English language classroom to support students' development in all four language skills.
The workshop will:
- offer advice on selecting those kinds of real world photos, videos and further authentic content which inspire and engage learners in the classroom
- provide practical activities and tasks on how to work with different kinds of images, both still and moving
- demonstrate how to use images as a springboard to help learners develop their communication, critical thinking and creative skills.
Examples will be drawn from National Geographic Learning resources.
About Timothy: Timothy Phillips, National Geographic Learning representative for Austria and Germany, has been working in the English language teaching world in Germany, Central Europe and South East Asia for over 30 years. He has taught learners of all ages and has been involved in a broad range of projects including use of video in the classroom, the design and development of online learning materials as well as teacher training. Throughout his career he has always been a strong proponent of using relevant and inspiring authentic content to engage learners in the classroom.

Who is Star-Lord and what is a Groot were just a couple of questions that the bulk of the movie going public were asking when James Gunn released the original Guardians of the Galaxy back in 2017, not being based characters with the public awareness of likes of say Spider-Man or Captain America, but now having made over $400 million dollars worldwide one can assume pretty much everyone knows who Star-Lord and is friends are, yet what is interesting here is that instead of making a sequel that is bigger and splashier than original film James Gunn has decided to go deeper into who these guys really are and what makes them tick. Now don't get me wrong this sequel has action galore, and the screen practically explodes at times, but this entry has a much greater emotional heft to it than its predecessor.
This sequel opens with Peter Quill aka Star Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and Baby Groot (Vin Diesel)
battling an inter-dimensional monster as they have basically become
galactic heroes for hire. In this instanced they were hired by a race
called the Sovereign, a genetically perfected race that are grown in
incubation pods, to protect valuable batteries from becoming this
particular monster's lunch, and when they succeed they are paid by the
leader of the Sovereign Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki) with the handing over of Gamora's sister Nebula (Karen Gillan)
who had herself been captured by the Sovereign while trying to steal
those very same batteries. All seems good until the Sovereign discover
that Rocket had managed to steal a few of those batteries for himself.
Kurt Russell),
who we learnt from the movie's opening prologue was an alien who
visited Earth to knock up Quill's mom, and who then brings Quill, Gamora
and Drax back to his planet…kind of. I don't want to get into spoilers
here as the relationship between Quill and his intergalactic deadbeat
dad is one of the major components of the film and to reveal his origins
here would not be fair but the theme of family, genetic or otherwise,
is the true crux of this movie. Not only do we learn who Quill's father
was but we find out more about Yondu (Michael Rooker)
and the real reason he never delivered the young Peter Quill as he was
originally hired to do. We discover what makes Rocket tick and why he
acts like an asshat most of the time and we also get a particular dark
reveal as to why Nebula is the way she is.
movie of course isn't all about dark emotional issues and tragic
backstories, as fun as that would be, it is at heart still rousing space
adventure with countless laugh-out-loud moments; with Baby Groot
stealing any scene he appears in and Dave Bautista's Drax killing it in
his moments with the innocent Mantis (Pom Klementieff) who is the antennae alien servant/pet of Quill's father.
is a lot going on in the film's 136 minute running time, with
characters splitting off into separate groups to have their own side
adventures, and for the most part it all works brilliantly and the only
real negative I can say towards the movie is once again Marvel seems to
have provided another rather lacklustre villain in the form of the
Sovereign. Whenever they show up you can only hope that its brief so we
can get back to the good stuff with Quill and his dad or Gamora and her
sister, or especially the side quest with Rocket and Groot as they end
up hooking up with Yondu and his mutinous crew. Thank god the Sovereign
aren't the film's main antagonist.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2
doesn't have the fresh out of the box smell of the original film but
writer/director James Gunn wisely decides to cut down on the exploring
of the Marvel Universe and instead explores the characters we've grown
to love with a result that makes this film stand above most of the Marvel Cinematic Universe sequels, with the possible exception of Captain America: Winter Soldier, and has me eagerly awaiting Vol 3.
Final Thoughts:
• The CGI to de-age Kurt Russell for the 1980 prologue is even better than what they did for Michael Douglas in Ant-Man.
• Dave Bautista is comic gold here and should get a shot to with his own film.
• We finally get to see Rocket Racoon finally rocket around as he did in the comics.
• The movie is littered with a plethora of cameos as well as five credit cookies.
• The soundtrack is just as good as the first film's
• The Opening battle being played out in the background as Baby Groot Dances was pure genius.
