stART: Swimmy
One of the books we are reading this week is Swimmy by Leo Lionni. I love the artwork in his books! Swimmy is the story of a little black fish who lives with a school of little red fish. One day, all the little red fish get eaten by a bigger fish, and only Swimmy escapes. He swims through the ocean, seeing lots of new things, and finally finds another school of little red fish. He wants to show them everything he's seen, but they're afraid they will get eaten. So Swimmy teaches them to swim together like one big fish, and they scare the bigger fish away.
I love the look of the little red fish. They look like they were stamped onto the paper. So I took some craft foam, double stick tape, and a peanut butter jar lid, and made a fish stamp.
We used red paint to make our little red fish.
I let E stamp the fish all over the paper. I helped too, stamping is fun!
Then we let it dry. Later in the day, I cut it out and we mounted it on plain blue paper. Maybe the next time we read the story, we'll make an ocean scene with a seaweed forest stencilled from doilies like the author does. I had no doilies available this time, so plain blue it was. E also colored an eye black. I decided not to get out more paint for her to make a black Swimmy eye, I'm pretty sure our red fish would have turned completely black.

Human Organization – The Math and Genetics behind Magic Numbers
More Magic Numbers
John Pfeiffer is one of the most accessible writers on the Emergence of Humans. Here are some of his ideas about the Magic Numbers.
The Math of Conflict: – When we encounter more than a certain number of "Known" people, as opposed to strangers in a city, we become stressed. When we "Know" someone, we feel an impact. The formula for this series is (N2 – n)/2= D Where N= number of known individuals and D = the number of Dyads (possible pairings) So 10 Dyads exist in a 5 person family. The series is exponential. We can see this when we add one more person to the family and the number of Dyads increase by 5. If you have had children remember what it felt like when you had the second child. It felt quite overwhelming: it was much more challenging than the simple addition of one more child.
When you have 125- 175 people that are "known" in a group you have 4,950 – 7,750 Dyads -this appears to be too much and conflict will be inevitable – the answer? Split up the group into smaller units.
150 seems to be the upper limit of a tight unit
Why is this important? I think it is because as we breach the limits of key sets of magic numbers. the complexity increase beyond some type of threshold.
So what holds cities and large groups together? The key understanding is that the relationships that affect us are those that are "Known" Only your family can piss you off or make you feel really bad. They are the most "Known" Complete strangers passed in the street have almost no effect – even in a elevator or sitting next to you on the plane. Larger groupings work when they are either made up of strangers as in cities or when they are subdivided such as at my school where there were 700 boys who lived in 11 houses.
The Math of Genetics – There is also a genetic link to group size and Magic Numbers.
A person living alone has a "half life " of about one year. Set ups of one lose half their number in one year, half in the next and so on. Living alone is a very weak strategy in a natural environment where there are many risks and challenges. Today the power of the state is encouraging us to live this way – the state is the dependency creating family and its not a healthy relationship. Think of this also in terms of organizational size. A one person shop like mine is very vulnerable
The half life of a group of 5 is a generation or about 20-40 years
The half life of 25 people is 250-500 years. 25 seems to be an ideal blend of comfort and complexity. A company that lasted 250 years would be a remarkable organizations. In a tribe about half a group of 25 would be adults – say about 8 men and women – now we see the core underlying magic number revealed. It is the ideal single sex work group derived from the ideal familial work group, the tribe.
The 500 person group is the ideal "marriage gene pool" Incest taboos prevent breeding in the 25 person tribe. Wives and husbands have to be found outside this group. But not too far outside. After all we don't want our daughter to mary a stranger or worse someone who cannot add wealth by his connections. We also want them to speak the same language and worship the same Gods. So being close means that we can enter your wife's family hunting ground and that it creates the potential to have large scale group hunts on occasion. 475 people = the ideal gene pool of 19 x 25 member bands.
Think of the problems of mergers and the clash of "Language" and "Gods"

For years, the focus of robot motion planning has been to produce functional motion: industrial robots move to weld parts, vacuuming robots move to suck dust, and personal robots move to clean up a dirty table. We have been exploring the thesis that although functional motion is ideal when robots perform tasks in isolation, it is insufficient for collaboration, where a human and a robot are manipulating in a tightly-coupled shared workspace. Our goal is to make this collaboration fluent and seamless. To this end, we have been developing algorithms where the notion of an observer watching the motion is woven into the fabric of the motion planner. This perspective has allowed us to formalize qualitative notions such as predictability and legibility in psychology in terms of Bayesian inference and inverse optimal control, and to develop generative models for such motion using functional gradient optimization. I will also describe some of our user studies on applying these algorithms to human-robot handovers, assistive teleoperation, and shared workspace collaboration, and ongoing work on deception, ambiguity, and emotive motion.

Anyone in Iowa City who has tuned in to the news over the last year knows that there has been a huge increase in the scrutiny that police officers nationwide are facing for their interactions with citizens -- particular African Americans. In some cases, police officers face criminal penalties for their conduct, like the excessive use of force.
A recent incident in Iowa City has not been thrust into the national spotlight, yet. But, it did prompt local law enforcement to change their policy on the use of force during an interaction with a potential criminal suspect. According to the reports, an incident that occurred back in June was caught on video. The incident involved a confrontation between an Iowa City police officer and a black teenager.
Apparently, the encounter began when the police officer attempted to get a group of juveniles to leave a recreation center, where they were on a stairwell and near a restroom. Many of the juveniles complied with the officer's request, but it appears that one male juvenile did not. The video recording shows the police officer moving quickly to grab the juvenile's arm, and take him to the ground.
Many people who work in the criminal justice system face danger every day, but none more so than patrol officers. Caution is a given for police officers, but in the review of this case, the Iowa City Police Department apparently determined that more could have been done before force was used. As a result, the police department's policy is now to use more de-escalation techniques before force is employed.

See, here's the thing. I've been condo shopping for aaaaaaaaaages now, and prices have been coming down and it's all very exciting (and terrifying) for a first-time buyer who is ready to take the plunge.
I've seen a lot of places and I've learned a lot about the process and about what's out there and what changes I could or would make to various units... etc. And I've been learning about what I like and what I don't, and what I could live with and without, and of course I have my top-10-ideal-attributes list in my head and every condo has some number of these items and the more the better but no one place has it all... etc.
HERE'S THE PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND MY DREAM CONDO. And it costs about $20,000 more than I was planning to spend.
Want to give me some money? A little bit of money? A lot of money? No really, want to give me some money? Or know someone who does?


text:
I don't have a lot of them, but the ones that I do, I like to indulge in quite frequently.
1. Starbucks Grande Hazelnut Iced Coffee
I could live off of this stuff. No lie. Every single Saturday and Sunday JD, Trey and I meet our BFFs and their baby at Starbucks. We spend hours there just catching up and talking. We joke that we should move in. All of the Barista's know us, know the babies and what we like to eat and drink. We joke that we should start going to different ones so that no one recognizes us. Um yea... you know you have a problem when...
2. Pedicures
I know I could do it myself and save the $26 plus tip but there is just something SO wonderful about going to get a pedicure. I have this lady I like to go to, she has all the great new OPI colors and she talks just the right amount. See, I like to go to the nail place alone. A few of my blog friends have gone with me and we have had a great time but other than that I don't really like to go with anyone else. I used to go with my sister and cousin a lot but it just never ended up being as relaxing as when I went alone. Am I awful?
Sadly it's been since before Thanksgiving that I had my last one and I have a gift card burning a hole in my pocket. I need to get my fix!
3. Naps
I LOVE naps. LOVE THEM! I never wake up groggy, just refreshed and happy. I never got in the hang of that "sleep when the baby sleeps" thing when Trey was first born, I just couldn't relax, I was constantly checking on him. Luckily for me I think him and I have made up for lost time recently.
4. Frozen Yogurt
I could go every day. And I'm not big into all of the toppings - I just like the plain 'ol yogurt by itself.
5. Cupcakes
(And I wonder why I'm having a hard time with the baby weight...) No explanation needed.
6. Magazines
Before Trey was born I probably read about 10 magazines a week. I had oodles of subscriptions. And while lately I'm happy to get through an issue of Parents, I'm not going to let Marie Claire expire - because that pile on my nightstand WILL get read at some point.
7. Pizza Night and Mexican Night
Growing up, every Friday was Pizza night in our house and I usually got to pick (Papa Johns was my favorite). These days our Friday nights are usually spent at a local Mexican restaurant. We love it! (We go with the same friends as Starbucks, yes, we're basically one big happy family! Ha!) And also like Starbucks they all know us there! It's funny - but it's one of those things we just have to include in our budget because we love it so much. I still try to sneak in a pizza night here and there, JD doesn't love it as much as I do. These days we are obsessed with Dominos. Clearly their new marketing works. We're suckers.
What are your guilty pleasures?

Analyst on how Elcora has positioned themselves as a leader in the graphite space
The first flush of the graphite boom of 2013 consisted of a variety of companies promising to "build it big". Needless to say that boom retreated faster than most others and thus far none of the "big" players have arrived at production. Then there is Elcora. Instead of going for big it right-sized its production and ended up as the first of the new crop to actually produce. Its current products are natural graphite, graphene, and anode (spheronized) graphite. All of these with a focus on "green" production methods.
In recent times we have been highlighting what we call the microproducers. Companies in this group do not have small ambitions for the long run, but they definitely believe in cutting their coat to suit their cloth during times of tough financing in the interest of being among the first to production. We believe that microproduction is a new paradigm with relevance to the recovery in the specialty metals and base metals spaces as well.
Elcora Advanced Materials Corp. (TSXV: ERA | OTCQB: ECORF) meets these criteria both in its actual mining operations and its planned value-added push into graphene and engineered graphite anode production. At Hallgarten & Company we have just published a research report on Elcora's recent developments and take this opportunity to summarise the research note here.
The Mine
In the three years prior to 2014 Sakura developed the project with clean-up and dewatering of the mine, with much of the mining equipment having been upgraded over the two years before Elcora acquired its stake.
The zero level (green) adit runs approximately parallel to the veins and joins the main drift 173′ from the entrance. Just past this junction is the main shaft. Running from the drift are a number of veins mined out at this level. The same veins are found at the 53 and 125 foot levels displaced to the south as they are dipping at about 80 degrees. Limited older workings are found at the 164′ level as CO2 levels are considerably elevated at this depth which limited traditional mining as it was done, rather frighteningly, without ventilation using coconut oil lamps.
Get our daily investorintel update
Since Elcora became involved with the Ragedara mine the focus has been on supporting the underground exploration and construction work, including construction of emergency exits from the underground workings, and the mitigation of safety hazards such as low hanging ceilings and inadequate ventilation in some areas, and establishing proper safe locations within the workings.
In November 2015 the completion of the construction of its Ragedara Graphite Processing Plant was announced and that it had started processing the stockpiled graphite at site, of which there was some 250-300 tonnes, with an average grade of 80-95%.
The map below shows the site.
During 2016 Elcora appointed Klaus Leiders as the General Manager for the Ragedara mine. He is a German national and a mining engineer and brings extensive experience to the Sakura Joint Venture. He oversees all facets of the operation, including the processing plant and the mine. Another key role will be to interface with customers like ThyssenKrupp.
In early October 2016 Elcora announced the first shipment of processed graphite extracted from its Ragedara mine. The shipment was distributed by ThyssenKrupp Metallurgical Products.
The mine is currently operating on one shift per day producing one to two tonnes of high quality graphite per shift aggregating approximately 20 tonnes per month at average at a cost of $136 per tonne of graphite.
The Ragedera Graphite Processing Mill
This was a key part of the upgrade of the mine as there had hitherto been no modern processing facilities for the mine's output. Elcora has custom designed its processing technology targeting the high-grade graphite at Ragedara. This technology minimizes the use of chemicals and result in no environmentally damaging products, by products or waste, which makes the plant very environmentally friendly and safe.
The project involved the construction of a new housing for the plant. Long-order equipment was being modified to hydraulic drives allowing Elcora greater operational flexibility, including variable speed and torque on the equipment. Another task was the fabrication of custom designed graphite flotation vessels. On top of this the company needed to hire and train process engineers.
The now complete facility performs four refining activities: grinding, flotation, dewatering, and product load-out. The fully refined graphite has a purity of over 99% and size range between 5 microns to 1 millimeter.
A team of seven fulltime employees are currently working at the mill. The mill can operate both in batch mode or process a continuous flow of material in a closed-circuit mode. The current processing capacity is 2,500 tonnes per year; with final product purity reaching over 99%. This capacity can be increased to 10,000 tonnes without significant further investment once the mining production increases.
The team defined the targeted graphite particle size distributions and finalized the designs for various stages of the process circuit accordingly. As part of the plan, Elcora is capable of producing a particle size distribution suitable for lithium ion battery applications.
Below can be seen the mine entrance at the Ragedara site.
The Sakura JV expects to ship 5,000 tonnes of graphite this year at prices which will range from $1,500 to $2,500 per tonne.
The second module with a capacity of 2,500 tonnes per year will cost less than $1mn to build and Elcora has sufficient cash on hand to fund the development of this plant.
Value Added
Graphene, which Elcora is planning to put into production through its wholly-owned Graphene Corp. subsidiary, is one of those products. Thus far it has delivered graphene in sample quantities to global national, industrial and defense, research laboratories and battery components' manufacturers.
Elcora's move into the anode paste market is part of its long-term strategic plan to be a vertically-integrated graphite and graphene company that mines its own graphite, conducts research and development, processes the raw material, and sells both it and products made from it.
Anode paste is made with carbon and is used in the manufacture of rechargeable lithium ion batteries and the world market for the material is currently about 250,000 tonnes per year. The market today is dominated by Chinese producers using acid treated graphite with fluctuating quality.
Anode graphite test samples sent out by request to a dozen Lithium Ion battery manufacturers, globally, and a full-scale anode graphite production facility is under construction in North America.
Halifax Graphite Anode Facility
The company has now progressed to financing an anode paste facility and the expansion of its Anode test program to encompass graphite sources other than those owned and operated by the company. These include, particularly, high-grade natural graphite sourced from the East Africa and the US. The move to other graphite sources is to ensure sufficient supply flexibility for anode production, and to minimize supply risk. Elcora's separation process is specifically designed to be flexible and coupled with flexible supply will in turn ensure an uninterrupted supply to Elcora's clients.
The intention of Elcora is to establish a $5mn plant that will produce 2,000 tonnes of anode paste per annum, hopefully moving up to a 20,000 tonne per annum facility. The funding for this was secured through a combination of equity finance, Federal government loans and grants. The first phase is expected to start producing by the end of this year and to employ roughly 25 people, mostly engineers and lab technicians.
Anode paste typically sells for US$10,000 to US$20,000 per tonne and Elcora's product is expected to come onto the market at somewhere between $12,500 to $15,000 per tonne. This might imply revenues of $25-30mn per annum.
In our worldview view – production trumps all, and Elcora has both its more traditional graphite mining business and now its graphite anode business to exploit both the upstream and the midstream of the graphite business. The swift pace of implementation at Ragedara has meant that Elcora joined the very exclusive group of graphite producers during 2016. In doing so it has pulled well ahead of the other claimants to leadership in the graphite space.
While graphite shows little potential for the same type of price squeeze that has propelled other battery metals higher, there is a distinct feeling that major Western end-users want to see a non-Chinese graphite supply (and elaboration) industry evolve so they will not be vulnerable to Chinese policy gyrations or attempts at market manipulation. Elcora with its goal of producing graphite anode material in Nova Scotia is aiming to snatch for itself a niche in the Lithium Ion battery value chain in North America.
Beyond the initial mine, the fact that the company wants to also move in on the midstream of the Lithium-ion battery surge with an anode plant shows that it has grasped the reality that the margins are in the value-added. We have given Elcora a Long position rating with a 12-month target price of CAD$0.64.

Within the last four years, two people I knew have taken their own lives. The kindness and thoughtfulness that has come my way both times has been wonderful: from close friends to people I haven't seen in nearly 20 years, and people on the other side of the world I know through work and have never met in person. I count myself lucky to have seen such sympathetic and compassionate responses from so many. Sadly, despite the brilliant work of mental health campaigners and increased public understanding in recent years, stigmatising attitudes to mental health, suicide in particular, are still very common, and can cause great distress to those affected. I've read and heard of people bereaved by suicide facing huge ignorance from others, and – occasionally – been on the receiving end of it from people I thought would know better.
Based on my and others' experiences, I've put together this list of the types of responses which have been most helpful, and those which – while probably well-meant – have been less. You might be reading this because someone you know has recently been affected by a suicide and you're not sure how to respond. Or because you've been affected yourself and want to see if it reflects your own story. If you have relevant experiences and would like to add your own, please do comment. You're more than welcome.
I fully recognise that no-one's perfect, including me. I hope the take-home message is that simple compassion – both for the person who has died and anyone they meant something to – is the best thing you can offer at any time…
10 Ways to be Helpful…
- Saying you don't know what to say Some people think this is the wrong thing to say, but it's fine. For someone in shock, the feeling's probably mutual. It means you understand the magnitude. And it's better than "I know how you feel" if you don't.
- Getting in touch straight away Even if just to say the above. A sympathetic card or message can be incredibly touching, even – or perhaps especially – from someone you don't often hear from.
- Understanding some basics about depression An estimated 90% of people who take their lives suffer from depression. Depression is an illness, and still widely misunderstood. It can sometimes be a reaction to something in a person's environment, like trauma or deprivation (Reactive depression). Sometimes, it's linked to another condition, like anxiety, chronic pain, epilepsy or a learning difference (Secondary depression). And sometimes it has no obvious "reason" at all. (Clinical depression). Depression affects those of all backgrounds, and, although some lifestyle factors can help people manage it more easily, love, faith, exercise, hobbies and money aren't a cure. Asking "Why was he depressed?" makes as much sense as"Why did he have cancer?" "He had a great job and a loving family, how could he get conjunctivitis!?" or "Why's she bothered about being raped – she's loaded!" Depression can distort a person's view of their situation in a similar way an eating disorder distorts a person's view of their body. Someone with depression can believe their life is hopeless even though they are very fortunate, just as someone with anorexia can be emaciated and believe they're overweight. You don't have to be a great expert on mental health, but this simple knowledge will go a long way.
- Simple, specific gestures Helping with daily admin, chores or responsibilities, cooking for someone, buying them something to eat, or even just a cup of tea are bound to be very much appreciated.
- Letting them know feeling needy is allowed Even people who normally manage quite well in their own company can be quite clingy after a sudden, violent death. They need to know this is normal and OK. Be prepared for someone to want to talk/speculate/ask questions, particularly if you're breaking the news or passing on any details. Wanting to talk isn't also always necessarily about wanting answers, or thinking it'll lead to some great big truth. Often it's just comforting. I found chatting informally to a group of my friend's mutual friends more helpful than an organised support group of strangers. Others may feel differently. Abrupt swings between wanting to be with others and be alone are also common.
- Recognising everyone grieves differently In particular, one of the biggest distinctions in today's world – which can lead to conflict and misunderstandings – is in how people deal with grief online. Those who've used the internet at home since they were young are often more relaxed about sharing personal thoughts via email/blogs/social media, while those who mainly use these professionally, and are used to tightly-controlled working environments may be warier. The only time you should – carefully – intervene in someone's response is if their behaviour is seriously harmful to them or others, e.g they blame themselves, blurt out harmful secrets/threats/allegations, impinge on other people's privacy, or won't acknowledge what's happened at all.
- Encouraging them to take it slowly Sometimes grief or shock makes people's mind race. They may be overwhelmed by practicalities, such as coping with paperwork or arranging the funeral. Or, they may create distractions for themselves to lessen the pain and end up being swamped. Encourage them to slow down and not take on too much at once.
- Recognising that a suicide hits people in certain situations particularly hard As well as the very obvious (partners and first-degree relatives), this includes anyone else affected who is living in difficult circumstances, e.g far away from close friends or family, single, unhappy or insecure at work, on a low income, new to a job or area, or who's been bereaved before, especially in a similar way. Equally, don't think someone more fortunate or settled can't be sad either. Being well-off doesn't compensate for grief – or mental illness.
- Recognising grief is a process Sadness and sensitivity aren't confined to the aftermath of a suicide but can reappear at any time, particularly around anniversaries and after news reports of death. Bereavement might also affect someone's responses to death in future – for example, they may be more affected by scenes of violence and mourning after a news event than want to discuss politics or "the bigger picture." And never think it's "too late" to talk about someone's loss. They won't have forgotten it. Indeed, some people find it easier and preferable to talk after a certain amount of time has passed.
- If you can, donating to or volunteering for a mental health charity There are some suggestions on the About and Helpful Places pages of this site, or there may be an online fundraising page in memory of the person who died. Fundraising pages are a great way to donate to charity, as the money goes straight to the charity, saving them time and money. Most let you donate anonymously.
And 11 Ways Not to Be…
- Assuming too much Respond according to how someone actually feels, not how you think they should feel.
- Blanking someone A work acquaintance once told me that when her husband died, some people literally crossed the street to get away from her. It's understandable to hang back a bit if you find it difficult to express yourself or aren't in a situation where it's easy to talk. But grief is an irrational, sensitive time and rumblings of: "Is X being off with me?" can creep in. Do let them know they're in your thoughts and that you'll be around in the future.
- Being judgemental/unkind about the person who's died, especially someone you never knew Keep your negative opinions and/or assumptions to yourself. Comments like "That's so selfish!" "What did s/he have to be depressed about?" "I've got no sympathy for people who do that!" can be very hurtful – even to those who are angry and incredulous about it themselves. People who kill themselves will almost certainly have hidden complexities and your impression of them and their lives is almost certainly based on limited information. They were a real person, who mattered to someone who is real to you; not a TV character or a distant celebrity whose life is yours to pick apart and comment on. You don't have to butter someone up, or pretend that because they died they were heroic (which few people are, and suicide isn't) or flawless (which no-one is), but running them down in front of people they mattered to is not on. Sometimes people do this out of frustration, or well-meaningly to try to ease someone's grief. Whatever your intent, it'll only make them feel worse. Quite simply, if you have nothing nice to say about someone, don't say anything. On a similar note, try and resist publicly moaning that a railway suicide has inconvenienced your day. Being depressed, or bereaved by suicide, is loads more inconvenient than a delayed train. Trust me; I've experienced all three.
- Saying anything that could make a grieving person feel ashamed, guilty or to blame To avoid implying blame inadvertently, it's best not to delve too deeply into people's arguments or disagreements with the person who died, or try and talk someone out of something with: "Imagine what X would say…" (People's capacity for misplaced anger can be quite astonishing: I've even heard of someone being blamed for her boyfriend's suicide by his ex-wife who left him…)
- Nit-picking People in grief or shock probably aren't at their most articulate and may say things that are raw and disjointed. Splitting hairs over their word-choices, trying to give perspective: "Well at least you're not in a war zone…" or being dismissive: "She had good points? Yeah, I bet Myra Hindley did too!" are not helpful. Perspective doesn't take the pain away, and respect for the dead and grieving isn't intellectually beneath you. You're not in a student debating chamber; you don't need to score points.
- Wild, spontaneous gestures, or emotional blackmail In a Richard Curtis film, travelling hundreds of miles across the country and turning up at someone's door uninvited is charming, cute and makes someone want to marry you. In real life, it tends to have the opposite effect. Don't see this as an opportunity to get into/back into somebody's pants, or convert them to your religion or politics. Similarly, don't pressure someone into big life decisions too soon. They're probably barely up to deciding on a pizza topping, let alone a round-the-world trip, house move or career change.
- Making too many promises you can't keep The slightest change of plan can be quite a stress at a time like this. Obviously some problems are unforeseeable and any reasonable person will understand, but before you suggest any kind of outing or gesture, try and make sure it's viable and can be easily rearranged if you have to. This is also why very simple gestures are often better than big whacky ones (see above).
- "You meet so many damaged people. You should find some happier friends!" There can be a fair comment in this. Some people do seem to surround themselves with vulnerable people to distract them from their own pain, or out of guilt for their own advantages, which is not always healthy or helpful. But it's not a useful discussion to have at this point. Although I've written about mental health, the great majority of the depression sufferers I know are people I didn't meet through mental health writing, but through other work, at university, through "regular" blogging, and the same way anyone meets anyone. People with depression don't walk around with neon flashing badges, and you couldn't prevent yourself from meeting them if you tried. Would you tell someone not to make friends with people in the military, frequent flyers or fans of extreme sport in case they die?
- Making grief into a contest or confrontation "Some of us don't have time to be upset." "I knew X longer than anyone/I've been through worse than anyone else…" "I didn't get like this when X died and he was Y" and so on. Offloading onto a grieving person everything you don't like about them, and everything they've ever said or done to annoy you, is also a bad idea.
- Immediately asking someone whose opposite-sex friend has died whether they were together, ever fancied each other, etc etc When someone tells you a friend has died, accept their description "friend". Don't make them feel obliged to tell you whether they were romantically involved, explain why they weren't, or relive any past involvement. Unless they tell you, it's not your business. And they're more likely to open up about this sort of thing if you give them time than steam in with questions. Oh, and drop the careful euphemisms. "Were you two…close?" "Did you have an intimate relationship?" Oh, please. We know what you mean. You may as well just say: "Did you used to shag?" and be done with it…
- Telling someone not to speculate Look; someone has died very suddenly and violently. Let those who are left behind speculate if they damn well want to, thank you very much. Now, of course, there is healthy speculation and there is unhealthy speculation. Unhealthy speculation is blaming yourself, saying that if only you hadn't worked late that day and been home an hour earlier none of this would have happened, etc etc. Or bandying around harmful allegations and accusations in public. Like suggesting that someone took his own life because his parents were mean to him, his brothers were richer than him, his wife didn't understand him, or he was secretly infatuated with an old classmate. And doing nothing else but speculate is obviously unsustainable, emotionally and financially. Those are the sorts of things you should – compassionately – intervene in. But a certain amount of going over and wondering about things (especially if you weren't their next of kin and had even fewer of whatever few details there are to know), is normal and natural. Telling someone who's lost a loved one or friend to suicide: "It's no good speculating" is like telling someone to ignore having a nail file pushed into their eye socket. It's just not realistic. It will make the person want to sneak into your room at night and stick an upturned plug right by your bed so you step on it. A much more constructive approach (based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques) is to help them reign in the speculation so that it doesn't get in the way of too much else. A good way to do this is by encouraging them to timetable it, giving themselves permission to mull over stuff at set times of the day/week/month/whatever interval works for them. But DO NOT just ban or discourage speculation altogether.
A final point, specifically for the bereaved (and believe me, I know it's easier said, but I'll say it anyway…): Feeling that someone isn't being as available or sympathetic as you'd like is horrible – but there's no point in putting your life on hold hoping for them to be, or trying to badger or wish them into being. If you're in this situation, step back and find support from a trained professional. Good luck.

Who was the person who originally ordered the courthouse parking garage to be closed to everybody with concrete barricades like we were expecting a terrorist attack, but leading to borough streets being filled with vehicles and harder to clean?
Janusz Nowak, Doylestown
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Doylestown Borough Councilman Joe Flood for facilitating, and to the county commissioners for granting, access by borough residents to the county�s parking garage during this winter storm. Much appreciated.

It took the Republicans eight years to come up with a health care plan that strips away health care from 24 million people. Imagine if they had a few more years how many more Americans would be considered expendable.

oh no, i got to keep on moving
it really becomes challenging at times to force myself into playing or reading books with my boys. those things are without a doubt some of the most important quality time activities i could be doing with my kids. and honestly, when i am outside the moment, i am thinking how much i should be doing more with my boys.
proverbs 12:24 says the diligent find freedom in their work; the lazy are oppressed by work (msg). i would love to find the balance in all of this. the ability to turn off just enough to know that i am actually getting more done than if i kept on and wore myself out. this requires someone else. someone who is better than i am and someone who has more experience in life than i do.
that person is...
paul says in colossians, "everything got started in him and finds his purpose in him." this means that leaning on him isn't something i have to try, in order to find wholeness, it means, it is something i must do if i want my life to have peace.
when i am playing trains with my boys...peace
when i am reading books to them...peace
when i am praying with pastors and leaders...peace
when i am leading a congregation in worship...peace
there is no substitute and no replacement. jesus occupies the only place as the sustainer of creation without peers. if you, like me, struggle to find the off switch, rest in the unfailing peace of jesus. he too, is able to understand what it means to have a mind that is desiring success at every venture and the importance of every minute detail of our lives. the spirit will lead you into freedom and liberation in your work as you lean on him.
what i have found to help with a sense of peace is...
recognize the activity in your life that needs to be on the shelf. the things you need to say no to, at this particular time. i have heard it over and over and over, "just because it is good, doesn't mean it is god." learn to say no to things.
surround yourself with encouragement...not yes men. find people who know how to find productivity and success and can properly evaluate patterns to righteously correct or reprove your thinking. if proverbs, the book of wisdom, is to be taken seriously, we must then long for correction and counsel. this will prove to reveal discipline which is the key to growth.
most importantly, develop a pattern of breaking away from the noise (friends, internet, phones, etc) and finding your spot of deep and thought provoking intimacy with god. he is the most intimately acquainted entity of your life in existence. scripture is clear, there is not a place you can go that he is not there. jesus broke away from the crowds to be alone, rose early for prayer, he knew, and teaches us the value of actively separating our minds from the noise. in this time you will gain the secrets of god for your life; finding those very things to be at peace with in you working life (relationships, decisions, activities, etc).
at the heart, if we can be honest, the stress that accompanies work or the inability to turn off reveals the nature of our hearts. we want to be in control, if we want control than that is definitely a bad thing. the lord loves to reveal the areas of our hearts that will be most detrimental in our relationship with him. pride leads to idolatry and this will ruin.

A lot of issues await state lawmakers who return to the Capitol next year for a short session.
Taxes seem to top everyone's list, but other issues closely follow, such as prison overcrowding, the good-time law, school funding, managing the state's water resources, even child welfare issues
State Sen. Kathy Campbell of Lincoln worries about the calendar.
"Sixty days is not a very long time when we have a lot of topics to cover and, really, what I would call intricate topics," Campbell tells Nebraska Radio Network.
The Tax Modernization Committee has completed its public hearings. It will deliver a report to the Unicameral by mid-December. Interim committees have been meeting on school funding, water resources, and whether Nebraska should expand Medicaid under provisions of the federal healthcare law.
Lawmakers met at the Capitol earlier this year for their 90-day session. The 60-day session follows next year.
Politics, always a factor during any legislative session, might be even more prominent next year for at least one reason, according to state Sen. Colby Coash.
Coash points out four state senators have announced their candidacy for governor in 2014.
"That is certainly going to play into that I think, because there's going to be a lot of desire to get some floor time and let everybody know what you're thinking," Coash tells Nebraska Radio Network. "And so, we're going to blink our eyes and we'll be done this year, for sure."
Though lawmakers might express worries about the calendar, Gov. Dave Heineman dismisses them. He points out that the legislature has already tackled the most time-consuming item of business, the state budget.
"The budget's done," Heineman tells reporters when asked whether it will be tough for the legislature to tackle so many issues in a short session. "The most important thing we have to do every two years is pass the budget. That's already done. So, no, we can get this done."
The 2014 legislative session begins January 8th.

On November 16th, 2016, Sault Ste. Marie's first community orchard was officially inaugurated. Located at the Algoma District School Board's Etienne Brule site, the orchard will eventually include 48 apple trees and 30 sugar maples. A total of 24 trees have been planted so far, with the remainder to come in the spring of 2017.
The establishment of the orchard was made possible thanks to a grant from CN Rail's "From the Ground Up" program. Sault Ste. Marie was one of 25 communities across Canada that was awarded a grant in 2016. The successful application was developed by Tori Prouse of the City of Sault Ste. Marie's Planning Department.
(Left to Right: Mayor Provenzano, CN's Drew Redden, DSSAB CAO Mike Nadeau, ADSB Chair Jennifer Sarlo and Raymond Carriere of Communities in Bloom perform a ceremonial tree planting.)
The orchard is another positive development at the west-end site, which has become a community hub since the closure of the former Etienne Brule elementary school. The building now houses the Urban Aboriginal school program, a daycare, and several programs that have been developed in partnership with Ontario Works and other social service providers. In addition to the orchard, the property is also home to a playground, a Hub Trail spoke, and a community garden.
Though it will take a few years for the trees to mature and begin bearing fruit, in time, the orchard will be a fantastic community resource for citizens to enjoy.

"I stand us, and this one of me turns into a hundred of me. They say I circle around you. Nonsense. I circle around me." ~Rumi
"We're so used to the idea of competing and winning—of needing to be 'the best.' But that's not the way the collective-self consciousness works. We can only become our 'personal best' when we are also cooperating and co-creating with others. It is others who bring out our best, and if we could look at competition as cooperation to bring out everyone's personal best, instead of as an experience of putting others behind us, society would shoot forward into conscious evolution. …
"With linear perception, we 'belong' in relationships and groups, but with spherical-holographic perception, we become them. … A new phenomenon is occurring—the Convening—where people of like vibration are beginning to 'show up' in each others' fields and lives to work together." ~Penney Peirce
The Back-flow of Competition
We live in a world where competition has become highly valued. Many of us worship those who are "good" at it. We pay huge sums of money to the top competitors in sports, business, and even entertainment. We are encourages to compete with others at an early age, and that push to compete continues forever. But as Ms. Peirce notes, hen we are constantly pushing others back by trying to get ahead of them, we are all, to some degree, moving back instead of forward.
Cooperating and Co-Creating
During my years of working as a government contractor in information services, I saw a strange and amazing thing taking place. Two big corporations that would fight each other relentlessly over one contract, would co-bid and work together on another. Something else to think about in this area: very few federal government contracts this days are fulfilled by a single company. In nearly all cases, the corporation that wins a big contract hires others as co-contractors or sub-contractors. In fact, it is not unusual to find that while the main contractor has the largest piece of the pie, the co-creators, or sub-contractors, have a total that is often more than half.
Even when it is one company doing the job, most corporations have recognized in recent decades that they can get more done internally by getting people to work together in teams rather than competing against each other as individuals. This concept works well, though it still has a major problem: raises and promotions are still given to individuals rather than teams, so even while working as part of a team, the employees continue to compete for crumbs the people at the top allow to fall down to them.
While it is great to have individuality, co-creating is how most everything gets done. When a primitive man wanted a bridge over a river, he could make a simple rope bridge all by himself (although it would get done faster if he worked with others), but a single person can't make a modern bridge with a four-lane highway over it. That takes the creative efforts and manual labor of many.
Co-Creating in Community
The spiritual side of this works the same way—perhaps more so. When seeking enlightenment and higher states of consciousness, we can go it alone or we can do it as part of a community or school. The advantages of doing it with a group are many. First, the vibrations of the group as a whole raises the vibrations in the area making it easier for the beginner to reach higher rates. Second, we can be doing spiritual techniques such as sun-gazing all wrong for years if we are doing it on our own. But as part of a community, we can observe how others do it, and they can observe and correct us.
Most important of all, the whole purpose of spiritual development is to become co-creators with God and in cooperation with His Divine Plan. So co-creating is not only a way to achieve spiritual goals, it is the true spiritual goal.

"My Dog Mouse"
created by Eva Lindstöm
Ages: 4-8
Grade Level: PS-1

Unwrapping some illustrations for you
About the book
"I love Mouse."
This tender charming book will open your heart to witness the love that is very evident between a very old, fat dog, with ears as thin as pancakes, and a young girl who comes faithfully to his home and asks if she can take him out for a walk.
"Can I take Mouse for a walk?" I ask, and I'm always allowed.
Together they take a very slow stroll around the block pausing for Mouse to sniff the lampposts and fences for a long time and engage in his outside world. They amble into the park where they share a snack, Mouse eating the little girl's too. Then it's back on track...
"Step, pause. Step, pause. Step, pause. "
The wind starts to blow and together they weather the force with Mouse's ears flapping like flags and him shutting his eyes against the turbulence. He is rewarded with meatball treats and then it's homeward bound.
When she drops him off she sadly stands until she can't see her old friend any more. She hates to leave him and go on her way home. The most beautiful part of the story that will tug at your heartstrings is you see Mouse looking out the window because he feels exactly the same way about her.
The last line sums up the story perfectly...
"I wish Mouse was mine."
The simple kid-friendly illustrations use soft colours with lots of expression. The book is translated from Swedish and the take-away is that animals are very important no matter what their age and they love to feel special as they spend quality time with their beloved humans. I love the book and highly recommend it.

text: Dec 2012 1 of 1 people found this review helpful Surely micro salad is at odds with the whole modern barbie concept? I found that very garnish nestling on my plate of brined chicken at Barbecoa. Though blackened and charred in all the right places, the chicken was plated with grace, vibrant colour and refinement; uncooked red onion was tempered with a sousing of lime in the guacemole, and crisp strips of tortilla added satisfying texture and crunch in place of fries. Despite this, and the chicken's moist white meat and appetisingly gnarled skin, it was just a bit dull. A side of chips cooked in duck fat were alleged to have a dash of fancy vinegar, but I certainly couldn't pick it up. In contrast, my man ordered the suitably macho Pit Beef: two plump portions of fork-tender meat atop a dark and brooding mound of smoky baked beans. It looked a little rough around the edges, but had the depth of flavour you're after when you set out to have a meat feast of ungodly proportions. I wonder if this is why Jamie Oliver's stab at 'fire and food' hits bum notes. The food's not bad but a, he's got serious kahunas to charge such princely sums and b, I'd rather go to Brew and Que for a stonking rib of beef and a hoot (or Bar Boulud for a seriously upmarket burger). 2012 was the year of the gastro grill, and plenty of places are nailing this concept with greater flair and authenticity. It seems like a slightly mixed-up venture to me. I wouldn't want to pooh-pooh it entirely though. There's a zippy stock management system in place, whereby your order is madly tapped into a device at the table that beeps approval (or pips an alert if ingredients are unavailable, so you're not too disappointed). Service has moments of supreme efficiency and charisma, although it did take some time for drinks to wander over during our sleepy Saturday lunch. Speaking of which, I couldn't detect the rhubarb bitters that attracted me to the Barby 75; a gin and prosecco concoction marred by eye-wateringly sherbety lemon. But the house take on a Bloody Mary – complete with a rasher of bacon as stirrer – was ace, albeit an acquired taste. It was seriously savoury and not unlike necking a hickory-spiced gravy; a hideous thought that was really quite pleasant and pokey in reality (plus I'd bet it's a solid hangover cure). Wine and beer cost a packet, so beware. In keeping with the rest of One New Change, the restaurant remains slick and shiny amid the seething, suited mass of city types engulfing it midweek. When the weekend exodus takes place, Barbecoa takes on a slightly ethereal ambience and you can fully appreciate the view of St Pauls. (That is, so long as your seat doesn't face away from the panoramic windows, as many seem to; a bit of a boob given the premium customers are paying? Worth a mention when booking in order to nab a decent table and avoid a crick in your neck, I reckon). Will I be going back? I don't think so. Despite the plum location and snappy décor, I wasn't sufficiently wowed by any mystic cheffery to pay a small fortune for mains, a side and a cocktail each. Less Surely micro salad is at odds with the whole modern barbie concept? I found that very garnish nestling on my plate of brined chicken at Barbecoa.

MIschief by Amanda Quick
Imogen was saddled with the nickname "Immodest Imogen" several years ago, so she knows the gossip surrounding Lord "Coldhearted" Colchester must also be false. So she is sure he will help her get revenge on the man she believes killed her best friend.
I really enjoyed most parts of this story. I thought the characters and story were fun. The only part that threw me was the invention of a lost land "Animazara" that all of London is supposedly enthralled with.

I've been back in Jeju almost a month, but I haven't posted a thing yet! Things have really been quite hectic and busy since I've been back and it seems like I've hardly had any time to relax by myself. Since I've been back, I've moved to a new place, had my motorcycle breakdown (fixed now), hung out with friends, and finally, preparing for the new semester.
School has been going great! This week is the start of the second week of classes and I've already given the first round of tests. Hmm...maybe that's a little excessive? Anyways, the Korean school year is opposite of the American school year. High school ends in the winter and university starts in the spring. The first of March is the beginning of the school year for everyone. This is my third year teaching at Jeju National University and every year, the new freshmen seem more and more eager to learn. I really enjoy feeding off of their energy and am excited for this school year.

Living in a dry heat with high temperatures between 105 and 110 during the summer, purslane laughs in your face and thrives here in Phoenix, Arizona. Add some incredible, edible ornamental purslane to your garden this summer! A salsa with purslane recipe is included in the article.

|Purslane the ubiquitous plant. About the beginning of July, the patch is harvested and pressure canned. The seeds are also collected some years.
http://www.durgan.org/URL/?AXH... 5 July 2012 Collecting Purslane Seeds
One and one half cups of Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) seed was collected. The tarp screen method works well. The seeds are very small. Annotated photographs depict the procedure.
http://www.durgan.org/URL/?EKM... 1 July 2012 Threshing Purslane.(Portulaca oleracea)
An experiment is being conducted to collect the seeds of the Purslane (Portulaca oleracea)plants.The Aborigines of Australia were observed putting purslane in a a pile and collecting the seeds after the plants dried.The seeds are touted as to being highly nutritional.I decided to attempt collecting the seeds, and improve on the Aborigine system.There is enough energy left in he vegetation to produce seeds after they have been removed from the soil. Over the last week it was observed that the puslane had flowered.The seeds are very small and fall through the screen mesh with room to spare.This is ideal, since all I need do is scoop them off the tarp, when all the seeds drop.
http://www.durgan.org/URL/?TDB... 5 July 2014 Purslane Juicing
Portulaca oleracea (common purslane) is free growing in my garden as it does all over the world.It has much inherent nutrition and can be utilized in salads, or cooked like spinach, or juiced as I preserve the plant.The stems, leaves and flower buds are all edible.
The plant are selected, washed, cooked until soft and blended into a slurry. The slurry is strained through a 2 mm food mill screen, then the residue is put through a Champion juicer to extract most of the nutrients. The juice is then placed in liter jars, and pressure canned at 15 PSI for 15 minutes for long term storage at room temperature. Today 21 liters was processed.

My purpose
I've finally decided how I want to use my blog: to be an Eosinophilic blog, an Apraxia blog, and sometimes an IBS blog, because when you're facing these problems (as a parent or an individual), you long for others in your shoes. And that's where I am now, I'm looking for others in my shoes, and realizing I can be that person for others. So if you've found me because of one or more of these issues, then Howdy, and if you're blessed to only have one of these problems, I hope you'll forgive the intermingling of these three. My son has Eosinophilic Esophagitis. That has been our life since March of 2006. Now he is two years old and was diagnosed in June with verbal apraxia, so we deal with that now too with speech therapy twice a week. And since I have IBS (the diarrhea variety--ooh fun), that will necessarily come through in my storytelling as I stop at gas stations, run to portapotties etc.

text: In 1994 a successful investment banker in San Francisco, Claude Rosenberg, Jr., published Wealthy and Wise. Based on the tax laws, he argued, America's richest citizens could do better financially for both themselves and the country by donating from their net assets versus their income. Rosenberg had done so himself by establishing a foundation. To be honest, as someone who has never amassed much money, I tend to consider the rich, per Jesus, as likely to have a hard squeeze getting into Heaven. Yet I can't ignore Bill Gates, who has used some of his billions to establish the world's largest private foundation, now doing so much to lessen HIV-AIDS in Africa. Or take an example I found in the March 7 New Yorker. There, in "The Dictator Index—A Billionaire Battles a Continent's Legacy of Misrule" by Ken Auletta, I met a Sudanese-born Muslim named Mo Ibrahim. A 64-year-old self-made billionaire—among the few in Africa—he created one of the continent's first mobile-phone networks. When he sold the business, he might have bought himself a yacht and sailed off into a sunset of luxurious living. Instead, he established the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, which bestows a $5 million annual prize on "an African leader who is elected to office, promotes democracy, does not steal from the people, and cedes power peacefully." (p. 46). It also maintains the Ibrahim Index of African Governance to assess the continent's 53 governments for the relative presence or absence of oppression and corruption. The Foundation then runs large ads in Africa's newspapers to announce the most recent results. In America we love rags-to-riches stories and generally want to star in one ourselves. Should we be blessed with material wealth, however, we would do well to remember the advice of our iconic benefactor, Ben Franklin, to be healthy, wealthy, and wise. Bill Gates and Mo Ibrahim can show us the way. (PS - Cedar and I were enjoying the final day of our Florida vacation, so, despite my best intentions, I was unable to produce my weekly blog last Wednesday. Sorry about that!)

Deardo and I are aware and are still feeling sad that this year we won't be able to travel anywhere overseas due to the wedding. The wedding has taken away most of our savings and don't even think about honeymoon right after the wedding!So when Deardo asked me if I wanted to tag along as he attend a training in Singapore last week, I jumped into the opportunity! I mean, all I need to worry about was the flight ticket, to have some money to spend on food and get boss to approve my short-notice leaves application!
We arrived at night and thank god for Ah Ku who picked us up and bought us a super yummy crab dinner, then the famous Chinatown porridge for supper... We definitely had a great start in Singapore!
|Oh how had I miss you?
We had breakfast at the hotel's Executive Lounge, which is at the 29th floor of the building, looking down at the concrete jungle of the lion city. The food, though with limited choices, were awesome! Service too was superb I felt like such a VIP!
|Really awesome breakfast to start my days! :)
|Biscoti that I thick-facely asked for on the second day even when they were not at the buffet area. :p
|If only I could go there again and go up the towers!
|Bubbling up my feet after the walk...
|Beef Noodles at the Food Court at Marina Bay's Shopping Centre is one of the best I've ever eaten!
Tepanyaki @ Food Republic, Wisma Atria
|Our sets of dinner!
|The generous amount of vegetables! I LIKE!!!
|Hi! We are here again in less than a year time!
Daikokuya Ramen @ Paragon Shopping Centre
We were looking for a place for early dinner before heading to the airport when we decided to give this restaurant a try. I do know that Singapore has a lot of famous Ramen chains now but I'm not sure if this is one of them.
|Mentaimayo Gyoza, S$6.80.
|Cha Shu Cha Cha Ramen, S$16.
|Original Miso Ramen, S$14.90.
While we didn't begin the trip with shopping in mind, we couldn't help but bought some stuff in Singapore. I mean, the price for the branded stuff there are so much cheaper compare to the ones in Malaysia so why should we hold on to our wallet? :p
While I wished I have more time and money to stay longer and shop more, but for the time being, it was a great great Singaporean getaway for me!!!! :D
