A total of 78 knives have been handed into police since the launch of a blade amnesty two weeks ago.
The month-long crackdown is part of Operation Limit which is being run by Northants Police and also forms part of national Save A Life campaign.
Once collected, all the knives from across the country will be melted down and moulded into an angel statue in Trafalgar Square to remember those who have lost their lives to knife crime.
A spokesman for Northants Police said: "There is still time for members of the public to surrender knives safely and anonymously, and in turn remove the risk of these weapons being used to hurt people.
"Knifes can be dropped into a drop bin, or a scheduled appointment can be made by calling 101 and arranging a visit from a police officer who will take the knife away."
There are no drop bins in South Northants this week but people are advised to call 101 if they have a knife to hand in.

Skip the months of confusing, overwhelming Facebook ad trainings...
In under 3 hours you could be running your first profitable Facebook ad.
You know Facebook ads are the best way to boost your business.
You've seen colleagues who were at your level, zoom ahead of you in visibility, credibility and cash-bucks -- all thanks to a few eye-catching ads.
...And either you've...
Tried yourself and blown a wad of money -- and you still can't figure out how to make your ads work;
Bought one or two Facebook ads courses and learned a bunch of theory, but you're still at a loss as to what steps to take to get clients or sales;
Been flat-out terrified to get started, thanks to all the horror stories you've heard about ineffective ads putting people in the poor house.
Whether it's A, B or C, it's not your fault...
Here are just a handful of my clients
Russ Ruffino
Emily Williams
Jenn Scalia
Selena Soo
Most people are happy to double their money;
Some brag about "3x-ing" their money.
It's not unusual for my clients to 17x their money.
But you don't need to be an ad expert like me to make a killing -- in income and impact -- from Facebook ads.
You don't even need to be my private client.

I'll show you what numbers to look at to determine how your ad is performing so you know whether to keep that ad running, or if it needs some tweaks and adjustments.
i have gone from knowing very little about facebook ads to being fascinated with the topic
I had been following some of the big names in the Facebook space for some time, but Adrienne was the first who inspired me to actually buy their course. I am glad I did. Clicks into Clients is easy to follow and sticks to the point - getting you started with Facebook Ads. No unnecessary fluff. I have gone from knowing very little about Facebook Ads to being fascinated with the topic. Adrienne is a sought after guest expert and I follow her appearances because she gives such amazing value. Clicks into Client enabled me to get a flavour of her first hand. Her training tips have helped me to avoid losing money by making me aware of some common rookie mistakes.

Normally, this class sells for $197, but for a limited time, you can snatch it up for just $97!
Clicks into Clients is an excellent introductory course to Facebook ads. The video content is easy to consume and even faster to put into action. In it, Adrienne also provides some really helpful benchmarks and tips that will give students the kind of insight that comes only after running big ad budgets.
WAHIDA LAKHANI | Digital in the City
This was the best business investment I could ever have made
I've bought every course on Facebook advertising out there… Every guru advising a different approach, one that would promise a rapid return on investment and a hefty profit for every dollar I'd spend.
Enthusiastically, I'd apply these "insider" advertising tactics, hoping "this it is!" - THE solution that would turn my advertising campaigns around from hearing crickets to an avalanche of new leads and customers. Unfortunately all I got was a dismal response from my campaigns - even though I was following the guru's advice by the book. It was as good as throwing money on a fire.
Frustrated, and with a rapidly decreasing ad budget, I decided enough was enough. I did some research on who was the best in the business legitimately. Who were some of the most successful online entrepreneurs hiring to provide their advertising solution?
A name that came up constantly, was Adrienne Richardson. Someone with a real pedigree and experience in the advertising world. When I saw what kind of results Adrienne's clients were getting under her guidance, I didn't hesitate to invest. Adrienne's FB advertising course lays it out step by step EXACTLY how you should be setting up your ad campaigns for success. I had so many "A-HA" moments and revelations. The seemingly smallest tip and subtle tweak would result in a great response to my advertising.
This was the best business investment I could ever have made. Imagine if I had continued down the same frustrating path, blowing my ad budget month after month, digging a deeper hole. Investing in Adrienne's program put an end to that. I was able to stop the confusion and overwhelm, and finally achieve responsive & profitable Facebook campaigns thanks to Adrienne. Higher click through rates - lower cost - higher profit. That's what Adrienne delivers.

Social Media Marketing
Bringing your business closer to your customers
Social Media Marketing – An overview
What is social media?
When people interact, and communicate with one another on the internet, they largely do so through social media channels. Even though the world wide web has been around for a while now, social media sites have gained significant prominence in the last decade.
So, why is this interaction called social media? It is because social media users engage with and around it in a social context – conversations, commentary, and other user-generated engagements.
What are some of the different Social Media Platforms and Websites?
- YouTube
- Snapchat
- Google+
Jump to a section
Why do you need social media?
The use of social media by the public has skyrocketed in the past 10 years. People discuss everything on the internet from loving cats to wondering if global warming is legitimate. This amount of conversation and content provides an important opportunity for businesses to connect with their customers, potentially increasing their customer base and the scale of their businesses.
Some interesting stats for you to visualize the impact of social media:
- 72% of online adults use social networking websites
- 75% of brand likes come from advertisements
- 92% of consumers trust peer recommendations
- 92% of companies use social media for recruitment
- 89% of 18-29 year olds are on a social media network
One thing from the above stats is clear: your customers are online.
- Increased Brand Awareness
By conversing and engaging with customers and potential customers daily, social media is one of the most cost-effective digital marketing methods to increase your brand's visibility on the web. Also, as you can see from the stats above, the pool of potential customers is huge, making it an easy way to communicate who you are and what you do with known and unknown customers over a long period of time.
- Better traffic
By marketing on social media, you're able to reach a wider audience and thus invite greater traffic to your website. This is particularly useful for those who already have a search marketing strategy. It helps you get a completely new audience, an audience that does not know what they're looking for and may just visit your website because they find the content interesting. Also, different demographics use different keywords for the same products and social media helps in addressing this criterion.
- Improved Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
Search engine optimisation plays a major role in improving traffic to your website. By creating content such as blogs, infographics, business information, case studies, etc. regularly and using targeted keywords in the content your social media profile appears more credible and your content more relevant to your customers. Relevancy is key to your SEO ranking.
- Cost-effective
According to HubSpot, marketing experts and marketers have found that spending as little as six hours on your own social media helps increase website traffic. This would mean, if you spent just one hour on social media per day, which isn't a significant amount to be spent on social media, your efforts would start bearing fruits. You can start with a small budget and see the impact of social media on your traffic, conversions and SEO ranking. Also, in comparison with other forms of marketing, this is one of the cheapest ways to talk about your product.
- Better conversion rates
As social media allows for greater visibility; you and your business will most probably have higher conversions. It personifies your brand and your business. People prefer dealing with other people over companies. Making sure your brand exists in a space where people are liking, sharing and commenting regularly can only improve the conversion rates on your website traffic.
- Better customer satisfaction
Like any communication tool such as emails or telephones, social media helps you understand your customer better. Whether the customers' review of your product is positive or negative, you can publicly demonstrate your concern for your customers' point of view. This personal touch that you provide shows the customers that you care.

Face the future, don't fear it
How do you thrive in a tough business environment? By growing your core business while scaling new business models — at the same time.
It might take a modern Dickens to do justice to today's business world. Depending on where you sit, it could look like the best of times – or the worst.
On the one hand, it is certainly a time of unprecedented economic opportunity. Think personalised medicine, where the market is predicted to hit $149bn by 2020, driven by the logarithmic drop in the costs of human genome sequencing. Or consider the impact of artificial intelligence technologies, which have the potential to double the UK's economic growth rate by 2035.
On the other hand, we see a range of challenges that could discourage the most optimistic business leader. The economy in the UK grew at a rate of only 0.3 per cent in the second quarter of 2017. That's half the rate of the eurozone.
And disruption – whether the explosive "overnight" variety or the more insidious slow version, marked by sustained compression of profits – is a factor for every industry you care to name.
Add to that our fragmented world, not just politically but also digitally, as chief information and technology officers plan for restrictions on cross-border flows of data and talent.
Taking effective action
In my experience, which is amply confirmed by our research, business leaders understand both the opportunities and the challenges. But acting on them is very tough.
A lot of companies, for example, are investing in digital as a spur to higher growth and profitability. And yet in a study of nearly 1,000 companies, we found that only 6 per cent have achieved both superior digital performance and outperformed peers on financial performance.
So how can we tilt the scales? Our analysis shows the most successful companies are taking an approach we call "rotating to the new". This requires leaders to strike the right balance between transforming and growing the core business while at the same time scaling new business models.
In brief, here's how it works:
"Transforming the core", in simpler language, is a matter, of getting more efficient and thus more profitable. You need to do this to build your capacity to invest in both core and new businesses.
With more cash on hand to invest, you can use some of it to drive essential, incremental growth in the core business. And which investments are critical? Those that help you be more relevant to customers – investments in service experience, digital marketing and analytics, for example, in better online and mobile interactions.
Your investments must also target innovation – in new areas that are growing up next to the core. Partnering with start-ups or establishing "innovation hubs" can be extremely valuable, to ensure that your innovations don't stall out at the ideas stage. The key here, however, is to get to scale, and quickly. This requires real commitment to changing; the "new" cannot be scaled at the edge of the company.
Timing it right
All of this activity hinges on what we call a "wise pivot". Think of it this way: certain companies jump too quickly, overinvesting in a new business, damaging their core through reduced focus, and overstretching their finances. Most organisations, however, "rotate to the new" too slowly, staking too much on the core business and putting everything ultimately at risk in the process.
Companies that master the wise pivot understand that both the core and the new business will have to coexist for a period of time, and probably a substantial one at that.
Let's not sugarcoat this. What I've described here in a few words is a complex, difficult process. But massive new opportunities are out there – including many that no novelist, not even a modern Dickens, could ever fully imagine. Take control.

What is BVES and who are its members?
The German Energy Storage Association (BVES) is the leading authority for the interests of energy storage companies from all sectors and industry areas. As a technology-open association of the energy storage industry, it represents the interests of a broad spectrum of companies through to research institutions. The technologies and applications are manifold. Thus, BVES represents electric and thermal as well as chemical and mobile storage technologies in all conceivable applications. Its members include technology manufacturers, project developers, system integrators, consulting firms, distributors, testing and certification companies as well as research and development institutions. BVES gives the diverse storage industry a voice and mediates between economy and politics in order to promote the development and use of energy storage systems nationally and internationally. In addition, the association's networked communications and committee work keeps its members up-to-date on key issues relating to energy storage technologies in the fields of energy and safety law, politics and economics.
What is the significance of ENERGY STORAGE EUROPE for BVES?
The German Energy Storage Association (Bundesverband Energiespeicher BVES) has been a partner of Messe Düsseldorf and the official sponsoring association of ENERGY STORAGE EUROPE since the very beginning. It is therefore very gratifying that the increasing importance of storage technologies is also reflected in the growing number of exhibitors and visitors to ENERGY STORAGE EUROPE.
What role do energy storage systems play in sector coupling?
Sector coupling generally refers to the possibility of transferring energy supply from one sector to another sector. In particular, the transfer of renewable electricity to the heating or mobility sector plays a prominent role in the energy turnaround in order to be able to transfer high proportions of renewable energies into the energy system. Storage technologies make it possible to transfer energy flexibly from one sector to another and increase efficiency, since the transformation of the types of energy between different energy sectors is made possible by storage systems, even independently of energy supply and demand.
This shows how multivariate storage solutions are a key technology for the energy turnaround. The flexibility of our energy system is achieved with the help of energy storage systems - cost-efficiently and safely.
How does BVES assess the development of the German storage industry?
The German energy storage industry is growing dynamically and the variety of technologies and applications is impressive: From super capacitors to batteries, pumped storage power plants, heat storage or power-to-X solutions - they are the future of the climate-neutral energy system. In parallel to the increasingly complex challenges of the energy turnaround, the range of innovative, multivariate storage system solutions is also growing. Germany enjoys much international recognition for its system competence. BVES is committed to ensuring that politicians promote this economic potential and that storage facilities can finally develop their systemic capabilities for our energy supply.
An essential demand of BVES is to integrate storage as the fourth pillar of the energy system. In addition to the classic pillars of generation, consumption and transport, storage systems are a separate entity. So far, they have been legally defined as producers or consumers. This also results in multiple burdens on stored energy due to final consumer taxes. BVES is strongly committed to ensuring that the legal framework conditions for storage facilities are adapted in line with the times. In addition, BVES aims to eliminate discrimination with regard to market access. System services such as the provision of primary regulation energy, for example, are to be regulated in an open-technology manner. Innovative business models with storage solutions are to be given better development opportunities, and thus network operators are also to be given access to storage capacities.
A strong storage industry has great advantages for a sustainable energy system and for a promising future economic development.
The integration of renewable electricity from wind or photovoltaics into the public grid is the focal point when using storage facilities. But increasingly, however, storage facilities are also being used for the interconnection or coupling of the utilisation of electricity, heat and mobility. Other applications, such as increasing the power self-supply through PV storage or e-mobility, are only possible through energy storage. This means that the application range of energy storage systems will become much more extensive and complex in the future.
The selection of the appropriate storage system depends on the task for which it is used. Depending on the application, there are different requirements in terms of storage duration, storage speed and storage capacity. The application determines the technical requirements such as the form of energy, input and output storage capability, storage capacity and reaction time and defines the economic framework such as the underlying energy prices and the achievable operating life. This is the only way to assess the performance of a storage system and to compare it with other storage technologies or other options.
Which storage system is the most economical solution for the respective application depends on various factors. These include the investment costs, the number of storage cycles per time unit, the energy provided as well as the price of the "replaced" energy (electricity, fuel, heat,...).

An important step in garden maintenance is to cultivate the soil. Cultivating a garden involves removing weeds and rearranging the crust of the soil to promote nutrition, as well as water and air penetration to plants. You can cultivate the soil using different tools, working every two weeks and adding fertilizer at the same time. Wear sunblock, a hat, long clothing and gloves.
Things You'll Need
- Fork cultivator
- Garden cushion
- Bucket
- Small shovel
- Hoe
- Garden claw
- Rake
- Mini-tiller
Video of the Day
Work small areas with a fork cultivator. Kneel on a garden cushion. Apply pressure on the fork cultivator, pulling the fork towards you to loosen the roots of the weeds. Pull the weeds out fully by hand and place them in a bucket. Place a longer pole on the fork cultivator to cultivate from a standing position. Place your stronger hand in the middle of the pole and your other hand close to the top.
Dig under the area with a small shovel if the weed's roots remain under the soil. Do not disturb the desired plant.
Hoe larger areas. Place your stronger hand on the middle of the hoe and the other hand on the top of the pole. Lift the hoe high in the air and swing it downwards. Pull and push the hoe over the area. Remove weeds manually and place them in the bucket.
Weed with a garden claw in small gardens. Push the claw and twist from side to side until the soil becomes loose and the weeds uproot.
Rake to loosen the soil in rows. Place the tines side of the rake at the edge of the garden and walk backwards with the rake. Push and pull the rake forward and back. Do this until you get to the opposite side of the garden. Repeat in next row. Repeat until you have done all the rows. This will promote better health for the plant and the absence of weeds.
Cultivate a bigger garden with a mini-tiller. Start the mini-tiller and push it over the desired areas. Keep its wheels on so it doesn't double dig, meaning go deeper then the top soil.

So here is a web page that can do eclipse pairs on a single Google map. When you select a point or move the cursor the local circumstances are calculated and displayed for each of the eclipse paths. You can select any pair.
Any ideas on how to improve this utility are appreciated!

After four weeks of the 'keen fisherman' pestering me to head out to Bingara's Upper Horton River we decided to make the trip on Sunday with 21 boys. Although hot, it was beautiful weather to be outside. They fished for roughly five hours and managed a group total of 15 cod, a very good haul.
Stars of the day included Liam Joseph who managed to bag six of his own and also Harrison Freeman who caught four, including the biggest cod of the day at 55cm.
We will be returning sometime next term to try our luck again.

Thank you for your ideas, this engagement is now closed.
The first phase of regulations regarding spill preparedness came into effect in October 2017. The second phase, included the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy's Intentions Paper outlining policy concepts government is considering to ensure effective spill management across the province. Government collected feedback from Indigenous community members, industry, local government, environmental organizations, affected stakeholders and the public on the proposed regulations.
As part of the engagement process, the Ministry held regional meetings with First Nations throughout March, April and May 2018, as well as establish working groups comprised of members from interested and impacted agencies and organizations.
The online public engagement was open from February 28 to April 30, 2018 at 4:00 PM
All feedback will be summarized into a public 'What We Heard' report that will be posted to this site in summer 2018. New spill regulations are anticipated in 2019.

With St. Patrick's Day around the corner, we decided to have a fun adventure. So this Spring Break, we will be having a St. Patrick's Day Photo Scavenger Hunt! My kids love scavenger hunts, so I like to create fun ones for them to do - it is, after all, essentially FREE! All it takes is a little bit of prep work to create a fun experience for a group of kids.
- You can do this with a large group of friends, or just your family. If you do invite others to your hunt, just ask them to wear tennis shoes and bring a digital camera (a small hand-held camera is ideal).
- A little pre-work is involved in creating the actual list of "finds". I went to the local park we were holding the scavenger hunt at a few days prior to get some ideas for the list. It allowed me to select a few clues that would personalize the hunt better. I was looking for unusual rocks, sculptures, or landscapes that they have to find. (see the list we used below)
- I like to also include activities they need to photograph as well, for example, all teammates creating a word out of their bodies.
- To give it more of a St. Patrick's Day theme, I added "find a four leaf clover", "find a pot of gold" and "find all the colors of the Rainbow". Hide some gold chocolate coins for the kids to find for a fun surprise.
- Assign points to all the clues
- Keep the hunt easy – allow the kids to naturally partner with who they would like to. Explain the rules, set the timer, and let them go!
- We generally give them a half hour - an hour, depending on the list
- Get creative with the prizes! We found funny St. Patrick's Day themed goodies to give the team who earned the most points.
There you go! A fun and easy St. Patrick's Day Party for kids!
St. Patrick's Day Photo Scavenger Hunt:
(change these as they fit the location you are doing your hunt at)
• Rock with a tree growing out of it
• Someone swinging as high as they can
• Mom taking a drink from water fountain
• Trees with white
• Find the colors of the rainbow (take a picture of each one!)
• Baseball backstop
• Bridge over a creek
• Pointed rock
• Tree stump
• Greenest patch of grass
• Lying down in the fold in the earth
• Someone going across the jungle gym
• Picture of someone wearing a green shirt
• Someone doing a cartwheel
• A picture of someone wearing sunglasses
• All team members standing on a flat rock
• Spell your initial with your body
• Looking for a leprechaun
• Tree with the triangle
• Picture of "gold"
• Someone going down the slide
• Picture by the park sign don't step on the flowers!

Hi Mitch,
I like it. I like the picture and the fact you have yourself a new lens.
The only minor thing I would do if mine, would be to crop more off the top, about half way down into her hair and take a bit off the bottom right; to remove the 'dead' space below her thigh and the floor.
I'm just being picky; to suit my taste, but overall a good picture, well done mate.
A nicely composed and executed one.
At first I didn't like the face being in shadow and the messy hair but now I see my eye is trapped between the eye-snake path.
Totally agree with John about cropping the top of the head a bit. I would add to try darken the leg also.
Enjoy your new equipment.
As an alternative crop. How about cropping closer at the bottom, just below her elbow, and showing all of her head.
But might not be possible now if this is the actual size of the out of camera shot.
Thanks Guys, I have done both crops and they both have valuable merit for the image.
I like it as is above. Nicely done!
That's a wicked concept. Have you got any feedback on the lens and how it handles that I can pass on to customers at work?

Well the many & varied challenges in Portrait photography keep on coming!
This time, Fashionista's Boyfriend had the idea to give his parents a nice photo enlarged of him & his brothers...
Good news is none of them were twins, thankfully!
the challenge for me is that I really dont think they suit the nice close together group in the garden.... I may be wrong!
So I tried some going for a more Industrial look as a starter... we did end up near the river with some greenery in the background, which I will show an e.g of later.
So this 1 breaks a few rules, they are close to the background, they are not close to each other... they still have their glasses on, but I kinda think it suits them.
I did go looking for a graffiti wall that would allow some separation from the background to have it oof and them sharp.....but there is a lamentable lack of such a place.... except on the tracks under rail bridges, which not even for Fashionista would I venture onto!
anyway here they are... take #1

RANI ARBO & daisy mayhem
Some Bright Morning
Signature Sounds 2076
* * * *
Some Bright Morning was recorded in Massachusetts, but Ray Bonneville's guitar contribution for "Travelin' Shoes" was sent from Texas–an apt device for a project that obliterates lots of boundaries. Categorizing daisy mayhem's music is a challenge. Arbo has a penchant for gospel music with a secular tinge, which one will hear to beautiful effect on "Crossing the Bar," her musical scoring of the famed Tennyson poem. But then there's Anand Nayak's cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Reason to Believe," which is what The Boss might have done it if he was feeling a little bit country. Nayak confounds again On "Johnny Brown" with his down-and-dirty electric guitar that's somewhere between Chicago-style and Delta blues. And, of course, the band follow with a tune called "Fall River" that sounds as if it was penned to honor the hamlet in southern Tennessee, not the city in southern Massachusetts. That's also closer to the neck of the woods Andrew Kinsey explores on "Fire in the Sky," with a vocal that sounds like he's channeling Ralph Stanley. But when the band gets to an honest-to-goodness Appalachian chestnut like "East Virginia"–a variant of a Child Ballad no less–we get a slowed-down and soulful treatment with sensitive fiddle and guitar solos, not the expected bluegrass breakdown. And let's give a nod to the singer songwriter tradition while we're at it. Arbo has two (completely) original compositions on this album, "Bridges" and the "Miami Moon." The first is Arbo's musing on the parallel destruction done by Hurricane Irene and the dissolution of a friend's marriage; the second a swingy song to honor a departed neighbor who loved to dance. Try to get the chorus of "Miami Moon" out of your head. Give up? Complete surrender–that's my suggested response to everything on this fine album.
Watch and listen to the kick-butt opening track "Here Jerusalem Moan."

…from the quill of Antisthenes the Younger
"We don't need a situation where all that is left of democracy is the facade, where democracy is understood as a one-time entertaining political show and candidates' casting call, where substance is forgotten for the sake of shocking statements and mutual accusations, where real politics is reduced to shady deals and decisions made behind the scenes but never discussed with voters. We should avoid that blind alley."
Lincoln in 1863? Trump in 2015? No. Putin in 2012.
Is now ex-KGB Putin's Russia catching up with USA or vice versa?

The Hummingbird Moth hovers near flowers and drinks nectar similar to a hummingbird. Although about half the size of a Ruby Throated Hummingbird the Clear Wing is active during the daylight hours unlike most other moths.
The Clear Wing coils its proboscis between flowers and the "flair" at the back of the abdomen indicates that this is a male.

Fox Island County Park Nature Center Pond
The Fox Island County Park Nature Center Pond is a small pond with a lot going on. Beginning in early April with Spring Peepers, Chorus Frogs and Leopard Frogs the pond now has various dragonflies performing their aerial acrobatics. American Toads, Green Frogs and now Bull Frogs have each taken their turns calling to perspective mates in a chorus that at times is deafening. The dragonflies, after spending the majority of their short lives in water, emerge as feeding and breeding machines that are possibly the most accomplished fliers of the animal kingdom.

Vanilla is used to make chocolate.
Shortchanging your shut-eye may put you at risk for diabetes. Two weeks of sleeping less than six hours a night can increase insulin resistance and reduce glucose tolerance. Aim for eight hours nightly.
The secret to longevity could be in your cup of tea. Potent antioxidants in white tea may help lesson your risk for cancer, arthritis and skin aging. A mug a day could make a difference.
Fresh garlic has more heart-helping punch than dried does. Hydrogen sulfide, which relaxes blood vessels, forms when fresh garlic is cut.
41% of people have never checked their cabinets for recalled food.
Nutrients selenium and folate may reduce your risk for colon cancer. Make a cancer-fighting trail mix with selenium-rich Brazil nuts and folate-packed sunflower seeds.
Cocoa is loaded with anti-oxidants and can lower the risk for hypertension and possibly diabetes due to nitric oxide, a compound that dilates blood vessels. Stick to bars with at least 60% cocoa.
Altruism seems to be connected to a host of beneficial outcomes. There is evidence that it creates changes in blood flow that could help lower blood pressure. Being generous may also decrease stress hormones such as cortisol. Studies show that when we listen to another person describe her suffering we give little unconscious sighs which touch someone soothingly and appear to trigger powerful changes in the body, specifically to the vagus nerve. This nerve is the primary brake on our heart rate, helping to lower it to a more peaceful pace. As the vagus nerve fires, it triggers the release of the bonding chemical oxytocin, producing feelings of warmth, trust and devotion.
When someone behaves badly, instead of losing it, think about what might be causing this person to act out. Think of two or three charitable reasons for a person's bad behavior or recall a time you needed forgiveness yourself. this gives you empathy for others' transgressions.
Forgiveness can be a challenge, but it is essential for true emotional generosity. Sometimes we think people don't deserve to be forgiven but you deserve to let it go! It is a burden you are carrying. Harboring resentments takes a toll on your physical health and happiness. If you can let go and be kind, even if it is hard, you are doing yourself a favor as well as the other person.
Acknowledging your imperfections may bolster your confidence. People with lower self-esteem felt better after recognizing both their strengths and weaknesses but felt worse after making only positive affirmations. Celebrate your quirks!
The regions of the brain that regulate emotions, such as the hippocampus and thalamus, are larger in long-term meditators. Aim to om for 10 minutes a day.
Women who focus on the bright side may experience less stress, which makes them less likely to become sick. Silver lining seekers have a 9% lower risk of developing heart disease and a 14% lower risk of dying - from any cause - than do pessimists.
In the average lifetime, a person will walk the equivalent of 5 times around the equator.

LatestPollResults.com is an unbiased, statistically-based probability model used to analyze the U.S general elections. From the Latest Poll Results for each race, the mathematical probability of winning is calculated for both the Democratic and Republican candidates. A candidate's lead is considered statistically significant if the probability of winning is at least 97.5%. In this case, the candidate is considered "safe" for that race. If a candidate's lead is not statistically significant, then the race is considered a "toss-up". LPR calculates all possible outcomes from the "toss-up" races and calculates the probability of each possible outcome.
Senatorial Race Analysis
There are 63 senators not up for re-election this year: 40 Democrats* and 23 Republicans. There are 37 senatorial races to be determined on election day, 11/2/2010. Democrats have a statistically significant lead in 8 races - Republicans in 22 races. There are 7 races where no candidate has a significant lead. These toss-up states are: California, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Washington, and West Virginia. The Democrats, including the two Independent senators Lieberman (CT) and Sanders (VT) who caucus with the Democrats, have a total of 48 senators who are "safe" or not up for re-election - the Republicans have 45.
According to the LPR model, currently the most likely scenario is a 51-49 Democratic majority in the Senate. the probability of each outcome is displayed in the charts below.

If you want to work for Goldman Sachs and don't fancy moving to a fake office in China, try one of its growing 'high value' locations. 75% of Goldman Sachs' new hires in the second quarter of 2015 were made in locations like Mumbai and Salt Lake City.
Now, the new place to be is…Warsaw, Poland. Goldman has been present there since 2011, but over the next three years plans to add "several hundred" new hires in technology and operations units to tap into the locally skilled and comparatively cheap workforce.
Goldman is not alone in using Eastern Europe for such work, as UBS, Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse all have back office operations out there.
Goldman Sachs is supposedly more generous to its back office employees in London than other banks, so this move could save a lot in pay. Goldman pays its operations VPs an average of £125k ($192k), which is £9k more than its nearest competitor, according to one study.
Separately, if you're a university student looking for a place to earn a lot of money, you should work for Microsoft. It's no longer the cool option, but it's the only tech firm in a sea of investment banks, which makes the top 10 paying firms for interns.
Average pay is $5,423 a month, according to figures taken from Glassdoor. Credit Suisse is the best paying bank with $5,113, it suggests.
This could be low-balling a bit, however. Our own research, taken from interviews with this year's interns, suggests that all the big investment banks pay their interns between $6.1-7.2k, which blows Microsoft out of the water.

Schiele vs. Restorers
One highlight that Sotheby's is touting for its auction of Impressionist and modern art on May 1 in New York is an exceptionally appealing portrait by Egon Schiele of his sister Gertrude, painted in 1909, when the artist was 19. "Woman With Black Hat" shows Gertrude in a striking hat and fur wrap, both courtesy of their sister Melanie Schiele, who was a fashion designer. Unlike so many Schiele portraits, this painting is far more conventional than disturbing.
But the work has its problems. According to art experts, Sotheby's forthcoming catalogue and "Egon Schiele: The Complete Works," a biography and catalogue raisonne by Jane Kallir, Schiele first painted the background a patterned gold and silver-bronze. He wasn't happy with that and decided to make the background starker. So he covered over his first try with a plain, light gray paint. And that's where the artist stopped.
But in the 1950's, an overeager Viennese restorer thought the gray background had been painted by someone other than the artist, so he removed Schiele's second layer and portions of the silk scarf covering Gertrude's chin. Then, realizing he had made a mistake, the restorer repainted the background white. A decade later a second restorer scrubbed the white background off, and left the painting as it is now. What is visible are remnants of Schiele's first attempt, which has faded over the years because of the stripping and repainting.
Sotheby's estimates that the painting will sell for $3 million to $5 million. "There's no question it has suffered due to a misunderstanding on the part of two restorers," said Alexander Apsis, who heads Sotheby's department of Impressionist and modern art in New York. "Had it been in mint condition, the painting would have been worth three times the estimate."
The Schiele portrait is one of 13 works being sold by the Georg Waechter Memorial Foundation. (If the name sounds familiar, it's because Georg Waechter was the grandfather of George Wachter, the head of Sotheby's Old Masters department in New York.) The collection includes three other Schieles and three works by Balthus, among them "The Cassandre Family," a 1935 portrait of two women and a young boy, expected to bring $600,000 to $800,000.Continue reading the main story
Postponing a Diaspora
The Lannan Foundation in Los Angeles -- a $150 million nonprofit organization whose innovative shows have been important to the Los Angeles art world -- is still planning to end its exhibition program and disperse its 1,500-piece collection of contemporary and modern art to the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. But not as soon as it originally intended.
Now officials at the foundation say it will extend its exhibition program and will remain at its McConnell Avenue location until at least March 1997. "The process of getting the appraisals and dispersals will take significantly longer than anticipated," said Kathleen Merrill, who joined the Foundation in November as director of its arts program. Two more shows will follow "Robert Frank Moving Out," on view at the foundation through May 19. One will be Bill Viola's "Stations," a 1994 large-scale video installation, which will open this summer; other exhibitions have not been decided on yet, Ms. Merrill said.
New Blood South of Houston
While Chelsea has been getting a lot of attention lately as the "next destination," because several major SoHo galleries are moving there, SoHo itself is doing some regrouping.
About a dozen younger dealers have clustered together on the southern edge of SoHo, around Grand and Greene Streets. "SoHo's not going anywhere," said Marianne Boesky, whose gallery, Boesky and Callery Fine Arts, at 51 Greene Street, is less than a month old, adding that she had picked the neighborhood because of the proximity to other galleries.
Such well-known galleries as David Zwirner, Jack Tilton, Basilico Fine Arts, Paul Kasmin, Jeffrey Deitch and American Fine Arts have been in this part of SoHo for a while now. Others will be joining them this fall, sometimes moving from another part of SoHo, because they want to be with the other younger, more experimental galleries.
David Maupin, formerly the director of Metro Pictures, and Rachel Lehmann, who owns a gallery in Lausanne, Switzerland, are teaming up to open Lehmann Maupin at 39 Greene Street.
And Casey Kaplan and Lauren Wittels are moving from 580 Broadway to the fourth floor of 48 Greene Street, where each gallery will have its own space. "This area is becoming the cool place," Mr. Kaplan said. "The best place to see new art."
Alex Katz in Maine
Four years ago, the painter Alex Katz announced that he would donate more than 400 of his works to the Colby College Museum of Art in Waterville, Me., with the understanding that a new wing would be built to house them. At the time, the museum said it lacked sufficient exhibition space, especially for showing Mr. Katz's large works.
It seems the museum has solved its space problems: it plans to open the Paul Schupf Gallery for the Works of Alex Katz on Oct. 11.
Mr. Schupf, a trustee of the college and a collector of Mr. Katz's work, gave $650,000 toward building the 10,000-square-foot gallery, a $1.3 million project. (The rest is coming from private donations, said Hugh Gourley, the museum's director.)
That Mr. Katz chose to give such a large body of work to a college in Maine is not surprising. He has a summer home in Lincolnville, Me.; studied at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Skowhegan, Me., and received an honorary degree from Colby in 1984.
"The museum's focus has always been in the field of American art," Mr. Gourley said. "Hopefully this will focus more attention on the museum nationally, and perhaps internationally."Continue reading the main story

Sunday night was, of course, Super Bowl! We met with our small group at the Grays (since they're the only ones with cable). As usual, the party (for most of us) was way more about the food than the game, although I Do remember who played and won! The Seattle Seahawks Trounced the Denver Broncos 43-8! Ouch!
This is a terrible picture, but these are the lobster rangoon wontons I made for the party.
Some of the awesome eats!

I am afraid of God. It's an irrational fear, or maybe not, if you consider how purposefully the enemy has worked to create this fear. The years of being told that God delighted in being cruel to "good" people. That He was forever making life difficult. That He was unkind, mean, uncaring. I learned all these early in life from the mouths of people whom others don't like me to speak poorly of so they will both go unnamed. But the damage is done. It was further done as I grew, still believing this, and fell into a situation where the Christian leadership was cruel as well. Where I was taught that it didn't matter how the pastor treated you, you stayed in the church as long as it espoused certain beliefs, even if it only paid lip-service to those beliefs. Ultimately, that cruelty would lead me to fear pastors, elders, etc. But lately, God has been working on me. Slowly healing old wounds both done to me and by me. Lately, as I've been deliberately studying His Word, one theme seems to be recurring...God can be trusted. He is faithful. He will never leave nor forsake. Though all around me fail, pastors, relatives friends, God will never fail, He will be the same as His word promises, and His word promises great things. Maybe life here won't be perfect, there will be trials, that is also a promise, but He is with us through each one. He lifts us up. He alone truly cares for us and meets each of our needs.
Visual Aid: OK, so this doesn't exactly do it justice but making God's love for us contingent on how "perfect" our lives are is just unrealistic. (And it's the 40th anniversary year of this song...or so someone said in the comments. :D)

Last year, under Maurice Cheeks and then Tony DiLeo , the Sixers' substitution pattern became as predictable as an alarm clock: going off at the same time each quarter.
Before last night's game against the Chicago Bulls at the United Center, Jordan, who has used about 11 players a game, said he was not necessarily looking to set a slimmer, more constant rotation.
"I think if I see a raise in play from one or two individuals that I say, 'Jeez, I've got to get him more minutes, I want to stay with this rotation,' " Jordan said. "I think we have people that add to what we could use on the floor.
"I just hope that our guys understand that we're trying to help the team by getting everyone involved."
Reserve guard Willie Green , last season's starting shooting guard, said the team understood that the rotation could be unsettled for a while.
"I think Coach is still trying to get a feel for who he wants to play and how many minutes that guy is going to play . . .," Green said. "Last year, the rotations were definitely set. You knew who was coming in at what time, what sub was coming in, who was going out of the game. Whereas this year, your number could be called at anytime. I think there are pros and cons to doing it each way."
The Bulls were without 6-foot-10 forward Tyrus Thomas (broken left arm). Thomas had played three games, averaging 8.3 points and 5.3 rebounds. Chicago also was without centers Aaron Gray (left fibula stress fracture) and Jerome James (Achilles tendon).

My Own Life
My Own Life p The words derives from History of Great britain, within the Invasion of Julius CAndaeligar in the Emerging trend in 1688 . 8 vols. (London, uk, 1778), vol. 1. 1 It is difficult for a man to speak lengthy of themself devoid of vanity; for that reason, I shall be short. It might be concept an occasion of vanity i always make-believe in any way to publish my life; but this Narrative should certainly carry nothing more than a brief history of my Writings; as, definitely, a large amount of my entire life has become put in literary pursuits and occupations.proofreading online The main achieving success of the majority of of my simply writing was not that include to generally be an item of vanity. p 2 I was brought into this world the 26th of Apr 1711, classic trend, at Edinburgh. I became associated with a excellent family members, both the by dad and mum: my father's loved ones are a division from the Earl of Home's, or Hume's; and my ancestors has been proprietors in the property, which my sibling offers, for several decades. My new mother was daughter of Sir David Falconer, Chief executive of the Advanced schooling of Justice: the title of Lord Halkerton originated by succession to her brother. 3 My loved ones, having said that, had not been loaded, and really being my self a more youthful buddy, my patrimony, based on the form of my land, was certainly exceptionally thinner. My dad, who transferred for males of segments, died while i was a child, making me, with an elder buddy with a sister, according to the good care of our mum, a woman of singular merit, who on the other hand teen and good looking, focused herself wholly on to the rearing and teaching of her boys and girls. I passed through the standard length of education with good results, and was seized rather beginning with a passion for literature, which is the judgment passion of my entire life, and then the excellent method to obtain my enjoyments. My studious personality, my sobriety, and my field, brought my children a idea that the law would be a adequate work i believe; nevertheless i determined an impossible aversion to every point but also the activities of approach and overall training; and while they fancied I found myself poring following Voet and Vinius, Cicero and Virgil ended up the writers which I was secretly devouring. p 4 My particularly thinner lot of money, on the other hand, simply being unsuitable with this system of life, and my health and fitness to be a small amount of busted by my ardent software program, I was lured, or quite forced, to establish a truly feeble trial period for moving into a far more active scene of daily life. In 1734, I went along to Bristol, along with some guidelines to several prestigious sellers, but in some many weeks learned that world entirely unsuitable with me. I gone onto France, by way of a look at prosecuting my scientific studies inside of a location retreat; and i also there put that plan in advance of existence that i have significantly and effectively pursued. I resolved to create pretty rigorous frugality present my shortage of fortune, to hold unimpaired my independency, and to regard each and every subject as contemptible, except for the enhancements of my talents in literature. p 5 Throughout the time of my getaway in France, 1st at Reims, but chiefly at Los angeles Fleche, in Anjou, I consisting my Treatise of Our Character . Following passing 36 months truly agreeably in the place, I originated up to Liverpool in 1737. In the long run of 1738, I published my Treatise, and promptly proceeded to go to my mum and my brother, who lived at his state-place, and was utilising him self quite judiciously and effectively in the enhancement of his lot of money. 6 Never ever literary effort was much more depressing than my Treatise of Human The natural world. It dropped gone-created from hit . with no need of getting to such differentiation, as even going to stimulate a murmur one of several zealots. But appearing typically associated with a pleasant and sanguine temper, I very soon recovered the blow, and prosecuted with amazing ardour my research projects in the nation. In 1742, I imprinted at Edinburgh the primary a part of my Essays: the repair was favourably attained, and soon taught me to altogether disregard my past letdown. I carried on with my mom and sibling in america, plus the period recovered the wisdom belonging to the Ancient greek terms, that i enjoyed that much abandoned into my ahead of time youngsters. 7 In 1745, I got a note out of your Marquis of Annandale, appealing me to be found and settle for him in England; I noticed also that the good friends of that particular younger nobleman happen to be desirous of putting him with my care and instruction, for the state his thoughts and overall health expected it. Andmdash; I resided with him a twelvemonth. My prearranged appointments in that time made a significant accession to my minimal lot of money. I then acquired an invitation from Conventional Saint. Clair to go him to be a assistant to his journey, which had been at first meant with Canada, but finished in the incursion to the coastline of France. Next year, to wit, 1747, I obtained an invite through the All round to attend him around the precise station in is army embassy to your courts of Vienna and Turin. I then wore the standard associated with the representative, and was produced at these courts as help-de-camp within the basic, in combination with Sir Harry Erskine and Captain Give, now All round Give. These decades happened to be virtually truly the only interruptions which my studies have been given during the course of my entire life: I approved them agreeably, along with great organization; and my visits, with my frugality, acquired helped me reach big money, which I referred to independent, on the other hand almost all of my friends was keen to look while i expressed so: in a nutshell, I had been now expert of close to thousands of weight. p 8 I needed invariably entertained a view, that my want of triumph in posting the Treatise of Human The wilderness, had proceeded additional through the technique compared to concern, and also I had been guilty of an exceedingly traditional indiscretion, in seeing the push too early. I, thus, cast the 1st element of which work over in your Enquiry pertaining to Man Becoming familiar with, that was released as i was at Turin. But this section was to begin with little more triumphant compared to Treatise of Human Design. In my return back from France, I needed the mortification to acquire all England in the ferment, on account of Doctor. Middleton's Zero cost Enquiry, whilst my all round performance was entirely forgotten about and forgotten. A different edition, which in fact had been printed at London, uk, of my Essays, ethical and governmental, fulfilled not with a lot better party. p 9 These certainly is the force of healthy temper, that these particular disappointments designed little or no impression on me. I decided to go along in 1749, and existed couple of years with my sibling at his area-your home, for my new mother was now dead. I there constructed the actual 2nd component of my Essays, that i identified as Politics Discourses, and as well my Enquiry concerning the Key points of Morals, and that is some other component of my treatise, which i cast over. In the mean time, my bookseller, A. Millar, well informed me, that my past books (all however, the unfortunate Treatise) were actually start to be the subject of dialogue; of the fact that transaction of them was eventually building, and also that new editions ended up demanded. Explanations by Reverends, and Appropriate Reverends, came out two to three annually; so i discovered, by Dr. Warburton's railing, the publications were commencing to be prestigious in excellent enterprise. Then again, I had predetermined a conclusion, which I inflexibly cared for, never to answer to any total body; and also not staying particularly irascible throughout my temper, I actually have comfortably preserved myself free from all literary squabbles. These signs and symptoms of a increasing history provided me with motivation, when i was a lot more disposed to find the favorable than unfavourable position of tasks; a simply turn of thought which its extra prepared to have got, instead of be given birth to to an property of 10 thousand a-year. p 10 In 1751, I taken from the united states to metropolis, the real scene for males of letters. In 1752, are submitted at Edinburgh, in which I then existed, my Political Discourses, the sole effort of my own that had been productive around the very first distribution. It turned out well received in foreign countries as well as at your home. Inside the identical yr was published at East london, my Enquiry relating to the Standards of Morals; which, in doing my personally own belief (who ought not to ever determine on that subject matter) is of most my writings, old, philosophical, or literary, incomparably the most beneficial. It emerged undetected and unobserved directly into the country. p 11 In 1752, the Faculty of Proponents picked me their Librarian, a business office by which I got minimum emolument, but which provided the control of a large local library. I then fashioned the blueprint of making history of England; but actually being frightened when using the perception of carrying on a story by using a period of 1700 times, I commenced along with the accession of the home of Stuart, an epoch when, I assumed, the misrepresentations of faction set out chiefly to take place. I became, I personally own, sanguine around my goals of the success of this perform. I believed i always was truly the only historian, that had immediately abandoned found strength, curiosity, and authority, and therefore the weep of well known prejudices; and as the field was well suited for virtually every ability, I was expecting proportional applause. But dismal was my dissatisfaction: I had been assailed by a single weep of reproach, disapprobation, including detestation; British, Scotch, and Irish, Whig and Tory, churchman and sectary, freethinker and religionist, patriot and courtier, united throughout their rage with the fellow, who previously had presumed to eliminate a large rip for fate of Charles I. together with the Earl of Strafford; and once the to begin with ebullitions within their fury happened to be greater than, what was however further mortifying, the book did actually sink into oblivion. Mr. Millar explained to me, that in any twelvemonth he advertised only forty-a few clones from it. I scarcely, actually, discovered a particular men within the two to three kingdoms, extensive for rate or letters, that will experience the publication. I have to only with the exception of the primate of Great britain, Dr. Herring, also, the primate of Ireland, Dr. Jewel, which seem two bizarre exceptions. These dignified prelates as a stand alone dispatched me signals to not ever be frustrated. p 12 I found myself, although, I confess, aggravated; and had not the war been at that moment smashing out around France and England, I needed undoubtedly retired into a provincial town of the previous empire, have altered my mention, and not much more have delivered to my local countryside. But because this plan had not been now practicable, and also the pursuing level was substantially more advanced, I fixed to get guts as well as to persevere.

It is evident from the examples of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) of Islam, that we should give charity during the month of Ramadhan much more than at other times, care for others, and the needy.

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, USA

By the Grace of God, the Muslim world has entered the Holy month of Fasting (Ramadhan) this month of May, 2018.
For you to know, Islam has five fundamental pillars, and fasting is one of them. Fasting is mandatory upon every adult Muslim man and woman. Fasting has been mentioned before the advent of Islam, however, it was prescribed in its complete form by Islam. The Holy Quran describes the purpose of fasting in the following words "so that you may become righteous" 2:184. Holy Prophet (pbuh) said "Fasting is a shield, no one should indulge in loose talk, intemperance, evil inclinations, if someone tries to create a discord or fight with, one should simply say I am fasting"
Fasting is not merely staying hungry and thirsty; rather its reality and its impact can only be gained through experience. This is a month of patience, sympathy, empathy and helping the poor and the needy people of the society.
Now a days many people are mindful of their diet and avoid certain foods to remain healthy, science also corroborates the fact that eating less or fasting prevents many health-related issues. Holy Prophet of Islam (pbuh) exhorted 1500 years ago that "observe fast, it will keep you healthy"
The sick, the one in the journey, the children, the elderly, those who are unable to keep the fast because of their health issues with the consultation of their doctors, pregnant women, and suckling mothers are exempted and can complete the count later, when they are in good condition.
The Holy month of Fasting is very closely associated with the Holy Quran. This is the month during which Almighty God reveled the Holy Quran to Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as is mentioned in the Holy Quran "the month of Ramadhan is that in which the Quran was sent down" 2:186
One of the lessons that we learn from fasting is to sympathize with the poor and the needy and care for the less fortunate, the widow, the orphan and be mindful of their feelings as well.
There are countless incidents from the life of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) regarding charity, sympathy with the poor and care for the orphans, Any time someone asked anything from the Holy Prophet (pbuh), he would never let him go empty-handed. Once a person came to Holy Prophet (pbuh) and he gave him the whole herd of goats. The person went back to his people and said to them that O' my People Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) gives so much charity that he doesn't have any fear of poverty'
Holy Prophet (pbuh) said "the best charity is the one that is done in the month of Ramadhan" He also said that during the month of Ramadhan, don't spend like a miser but spend happily on yourself and God gives the reward for that as well.
The Holy Prophet (pbuh) used to give much more charity in the month of Ramadhan. In fact this is one of the key for the development of the nations that humans, benefit others with their own items and nations are destroyed when they start treating things as their own and that other have no right in that, the world system is based on the fact that my items be used by others and Ramadhan develops this spirit.
It is evident from the examples of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) of Islam, that we should give charity during the month of Ramadhan much more than at other times, care for others, and the needy. There are some who when in need ask for it but there are others who don't like to ask for help. To search for such people and helping them is an obligation for all of us.
The Muslim fasts for the whole month of Fasting for the sake of God and His happiness. It is also aspected from Muslim to observe five times daily prayers in congregation, populate the Mosques, read the holy Quran with understanding, give charity, do remembrance of God and avoid all kind of loose talk, do all kind of good deeds.
At the end of the month of Fasting, at the occasion of Muslim Festival (Eid), they prostrate in front of their Lord in thankfulness and to show their happiness by offering prayers in congregation.
To celebrate the Festival (Eid) truly, the way the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and his companions celebrated, we must share happiness with the poor and we must give best clothes and best gifts to them. This is the real Eid which will benefit us forever. We can find God among the poor. This is the lesson of Ramadhan that it brings the believer closer to God. Thus, on this day the feasts of the rich and gifts should not stay within the circles of the rich but must reach the homes of the poor and the needy which will create tremendous happiness and will become a source of their savior.
May Allah grant us all the blessings of Ramadhan and all of our fast and prayers are accepted in the court of Almighty Allah (Ameen).
Note: our local mosque at 1730 west Auburn Rd will remain open for 5 daily prayers and after 7:30pm daily Quranic teaching in English, daily dinner also will be served to all. All are welcome.
We have open house in RAMZAN on June 2nd same time. You are welcome.
