The eschaton
Eschatology is a fixture of civilization. No matter where you look, you find people waiting for the end. It happened in the mid-1800s with the Millerites. It happened in 1992, with the conservative opposition naming Bill Clinton the Antichrist. It happened in 2012, across the scale, from New Age-inspired fears of ... →

'Homeopathy can treat skin diseases effectively'Listing the benefits of homeopathy in skin diseases which can be broadly classified on the basis of their cause into infections, allergies or auto-immune disorders and physiological disturbances, Dr Batra's Homeopathy Clinic today stated the skin problems can be effectively treated with homeopathy. In a press release issued here today, it state that Infections can be due to viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites. While measles, chicken pox, herpese, and warts are common examples of viral infections, impetigo, folliculitis and abscesses are bacterial infections. Fungal and infestation by lice are parasites skin infections. Eczema and urticaria are allergic manifestations where psoriasis, lupus and vitiligo are auto-immune in nature. Physiological disturbances such as hormonal changes along with other contributory factors can lead to conditions like acne and seborrhoeic deramatitis.
Homeopathy recognises the body as a unified whole of physical as well as psychological components and confronts the problem deep within. Homeopathic medicines unlike antibiotics, anti-fungals, anti-parasitics or anti-virals do not target causative organisms. They boost the immune system of the body to fight and overpower them instead, it is for this reason that homeopathic remedies are invaluable in the prevention of diseases too. for example, morbillinum and variolinum have been used to prevent measles and chicken pox respectively. Homeopathy does not advocate the use of external applications as they ten to suppress the disease only to return with a vengeance at a later time or to affect another more important organ or system manifesting in a completely different way.
In acute diseases like measles and chicken pox the homeopath uses his discretion in deciding whether to medicate or not, knowing that these diseases are self limiting and usually run their natural course uneventfully. However medicines may be prescribed to treat the distressing symptoms and to prevent complications. Outbreaks of herpes siumples can be easily controlled by the use of remedies like nitric acid and rhus tox. In case of herpes zoster, depending upon the site involved, the medicine is selected. for example, ranunculus bulbosis is useful for herpes zoster affecting the trunk and aranea diadema is good for herpetic trigeminal neuralgia.

Thomson Reuters Cortellis Campaign by Create-This
10 June 2014
This Campaign started off as a simple project with us producing a litho printed custom polypropylene case with a handle. The project then developed into a major campaign. We produced 4 different posters, business cards, 2 inserts and 2 different postcards together with the polypropylene cases, bespoke corrugated mailing outers and stickers. We were supplied with 5 spreadsheets showing the various internal and external recipients for the pack. There were 6 different variations of the pack to be collated and distributed to these recipients. We collated the packs and then mailed a selection of packs worldwide and distributed the other packs worldwide.

Let's talk about shame. In particular my shame over having unconventional plans in place for how my little family has managed with a newborn. Our plans were not what I have considered in my mind to be 'normal' and I have been plagued with guilt and shame & thoughts that I'm a bad mum who is not good enough and should be able to manage but can't because of these ideas.
Whenever I have a minute to think about the unconventional ways me and my husband have managed the first 4 months of our sons life, particularly the night times I am plagued by these feelings and I felt it was time to share the way we have coped up until now so as to somewhat normalise things & to just put it out there so I don't feel like I'm hiding or keeping secret our routines, because I think shame becomes bigger in secret – don't you think?
So here we go – my shameful confessions. You see the reality is that I have never ever done a night shift where I've fed my son during the night, he has been fed at night just not by me.
My imagination at this point for those reading is that they are thinking the following – 'neglectful mother who doesn't care about her child', 'lazy mother who forces her husband to do everything', 'bad mother who can't cope with normal baby related tasks'. Yep there is pretty much nothing negative you could think about me that I haven't thought about myself already. There might also be a small majority that think 'is that your confession? Big deal, why do you feel so bad about it? Get over it and get back on with reality idiot head'. (Even my thoughts about people not thinking I'm too bad are still mean to me).
Anyway the story goes like this – It all started in hospital when breastfeeding wasn't happening & I was pumping for every feed, so I would pump for the next feed while my husband bottle fed our son each time for the 5 days we were in hospital.
We got home from hospital & I promptly discovered I could not sleep a wink around my son, I was new-mum anxious and every sound he made concerned me & every little whinge he made made me think he was incredibly upset, to the point I would not get any sleep at all between my pumping sessions.
Out of concern for me as I recovered from C-section surgery my husband decided he would sleep in the back room where there is a spare bed & would have the little cherub with him. I could recover from surgery, pump as I need to and rest as much as possible. Then we would gradually get me used to sleeping in the same room as the little fella.
I felt abnormal at this point, my thoughts were that 'surely other people could deal with these things, so why couldn't I?' I internalised the feelings that It must be an indication of my abilities even at this early stage of motherhood and my confidence took a big hit. My inability to breastfeed or have 'normal' sleeping arrangements meant to me that my abilities as a mother were lacking.
Then all hell broke loose with my breasts and repeated blocked ducts and mastitis and over supply and not coping with pumping and I was in no mental state to manage much. Our 'very abnormal and horrifically shameful' arrangement continued until the time I went to hospital for a bonus 4 day stay and IV antibiotic therapy for mastitis.
I thought at the time once the pumping hell was over we could become 'normal' and do what 'normal' new parents do with their night times.
Then the next segment of 'all hell breaking loose' happened when I returned from hospital and felt the full force of postnatal anxiety being dumped onto my shoulders with panic attacks and sleeplessness and an overwhelming sense of 'I can't do this'. And our unconventional 'dirty little secret' of night times continued.
The funny thing is our son is such an amazing little spark that since around 10 weeks or a bit earlier he has only woken up once a night for a feed plus a few times to have the dummy put back in, & as our bedtimes have become much earlier my husband has actually been getting the same amount and sometimes more sleep than pre-baby times when he was less strict with his bed time and more likely to 'accidentally' play video games a little extra longer than intended.
All be it it was still broken sleep so not as good but not too bloody bad either.
But knowing this wasn't enough for me, I felt like a failure because I needed so much support, so much help, I couldn't manage it all. I was thinking 'I was 'only' on baby duty in the day times whilst my husband was working either at home or in the office and either way his life was much more intense and stressful and terrible than it ever needed to be because of what I was forcing him to do at night times coupled with dealing with a wife with postnatal anxiety. He must see such a failure in me and have so much regret around his 'incapable wife.'
But my husband was not concerned in the slightest so why did I need to be? His words to me were that if we have found something that works for us then why is there an issue at all?
Lots of thought &a reflection on this later I think it just comes down to me not feeling normal and having an idea of what normal is in my head.
I wonder what normal really is? I am sure that my idea of 'conventional' is probably so different from everyone's experiences anyway.
So I felt I needed to both share my unconventional story in order to try and free myself from my intense shame but also as an invitation to share with us all your own unconventional way as a mother and family so that we can all recognise that it's not that we are abnormal, but rather that there are many shades of normal in family life and that each of them is ok if it works for our own family unit.
I write this in the past tense but my shameful feelings are quite current but I'm putting it out there anyway.
Do you have a shameful confession about motherhood? Do you want to bring it to light? I promise I won't judge you (I spend most of the time judging myself so I don't have the headspace to judge anyone else).

The Ones Who Got Away
You're about to die…
Imagine being faced with your own mortality. Staring the devil in the face, knowing that your time has come. This was a reality for the people featured in this book. Ten true stories, each as harrowing and dark as the last, about the brave souls that have survived some of the evilest, most twisted serial killers to ever walk the Earth. Serial killers who have become household names, synonymous with death, depravity and immorality. Names such as:
- Ted Bundy
- Jeffrey Dahmer
- Peter Sutcliffe
- Fred & Rose West
- John Wayne Gacy & more
Killers don't always manage to kill
This book isn't about the countless murders these horrific beings have committed, this book is about the murders they failed to commit. This book is about the survivors, the ones who got away, the would-be victims who helped bring these monsters to justice, who escaped the clutches of the devil, the ones who stopped these depraved maniacs racking up tens or even hundreds more than their current body count. This book is a thank you from the future victims who never came to be, thanks to the actions of the people in this book.
What makes a person kill another?
The reason we as human beings find the likes of serial killers so interesting is that the most of us do not understand the psychology behind it. We do not understand what drives their murderous tendencies. Thanks largely to the survivors these killers have been examined thoroughly, and many have given reasons for committing the disgusting and evil acts they are now famous for. Psychologists can never be sure as to what turns a human being to a monster, but it is said that at least a portion of it can be attributed to environment. In this book we take a look at the background and early years of some of the killers, and how their environment may have been a part of the process.
Who is this book for?
This book is for anybody who finds the inner workings of a killers mind intriguing, the people who cannot comprehend why these murderers would commit the acts that have destroyed so many lives. This book is also for those who would like to know how the few who did survive did so, and those who may wonder how the human mind acts whilst directly facing almost certain death. This book is for anybody who wants to know how the survivors acted, and how they managed to keep their lives while so many didn't.
About the author.
J. R. Mayfield has a passion for writing about all things macabre. He loves to delve into the psychology behind what makes a man turn into a monster, and what makes seemingly rational people do incomprehensibly irrational things. He lives in Sheffield, England, and amongst other things, has a slight obsession with good coffee. John loves educating others on the evils of mankind, as well as the light in the dark.crime, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Peter Sutcliffe, serial killers, Ted Bundy, true crime

Lots of very cool projects require you to work in the round.
This means that you are creating a circle versus creating a chain and going back and forth and back and forth again.
...a couple examples....
These are smaller projects that have one starting point.
You get the idea.
Honestly, I prefer to work this way. It's generally a little more interesting project. (Isn't the ducky cute!) You can't make a heart or a cute ducky without knowing how to start the round.
Lesson One:
How to start. Seems a logical place to begin.
Your pattern will tell you if you need to chain or magic circle but let me know you the differences.
There are three ways to start a "round" project.
1. Foundation Chain.
This is the one most traditionally used.
Pros: It's very commonly used, it is necessary when you are making something that has a large center like a bracelet or a coffee cozy.
Cons: Its hard to see the middle.
First let's chain 4.
Then join the chain. You will normally join at the first st. The pattern will always tell you this. However, I've never seen it any other way.
When you hear "join" that means to slip stitch. So go through the first chain you made, grab the yarn, pull through chain AND stitch on hook.
Now the tricky part. Put the hook through the center ( the middle of all the chains) and grab the yarn and do your stitch.
Let's do an sc.
Repeat this step. Here is three sc.
The pattern will tell you how many to make. I've completed the first row with 10 sc. While stitching, hold the tail against your work so it crochets into the piece. This is what keeps it from unraveling.
To finish; slip stitch into the first sc.

In December of last year it was revealed that a number of businessmen personally connected to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had gone into pig farms with the help of generous EU and Hungarian grants.
Earlier this month the Ministry of Agriculture announced that it will distribute twice as much in the way of pig farming subsidies in 2015 than in 2014.
The announcement comes in the wake of revelations that Hungarian billionaires received the most agricultural subsidies in 2014, including the mayor of Orbán's home town, Felcsut, Lorinc Meszaros.
Last year the ministry distributed some HUF 8.5 billion (USD 31.6 million) of agricultural subsidies to Hungarian pig farmers. On February 6 it announced it would more than double this to over HUF 17 billion (USD 63 million) in 2015.
After years of decline, Hungary's pig population now exceeds 3 million. According to the Central Statistical Authority as of December 1, 2014 there were 3,136,000 pigs, for an increase of 131,000 over the previous year.
HUF 17 billion of pig farming subsidies represents a handout of HUF 5,204 (USD 20) per pig.
Similar increases in cow (2.4 percent) and chicken (4 percent) numbers were reported.
However, there was a 37 percent decrease in the number of geese and a 2 percent decrease in the number of sheep.
No explanation was offered why it was necessary to double subsidies for pig farmers.

Check out this last minute deal I have found for you! You could be soaking up some sun at the end of this month with this Gran Canaria holiday!
Gran Canaria Holiday
You will be staying in the RK El Cabo, which has a received good feedback on TripAdvisor, giving it a 4/5 rating! The hotel is a self-catering hotel, which is located really close to the beach in Aegete. It also has a really nice rooftop terrace, that have great views out across the surrounding area.
Whilst you're in Aegete you should definitely have a look around and see what you can find. There is a really pretty beach nearby called Sardinia de Galdar Beach. It's a really popular beach, and definitely worth heading to. There is also a lighthouse there, if you fancy seeing something else. I would also recommend heading to the Agaete Natural Pools, they're something that you don't find everywhere. They're also very pretty (and a lot warmer than the sea).

Military families provide a great service to our country, but they may face complex legal situations when family law matters overlap with their career. As serving in the armed forces will have an impact on many areas of your life, you may benefit from the counsel of a Kentucky lawyer with experience in military family law issues. We can explain your options and rights when divorce and military service collide.
Filing for divorce after the holidays
For many reasons, it is common for a Kentucky couple to choose to wait until after the holidays to file for divorce. The post-holiday season typically brings an increase in divorce filings, and no matter which party has filed or intends to file for divorce, it is useful to know how to effectively navigate the divorce process. After surviving the holiday season, it may be tempting to make decisions based on emotional victories.
How will divorce affect your Social Security benefits?
The way Social Security benefits work, the amount you receive at retirement depends in large part on how much you earned in income while you were working. In many households, one spouse is the sole breadwinner and the other spouse works as a homemaker. In other cases, both spouses work, but one earns significantly more than the other.
Why do military members get married so young?
As the general public is waiting longer to get married than ever before, people in the military continue to get married at a relatively young age. An interesting article in Kentucky New Era examines why.

4th of July Fun Scrapbook Page
I did a lot of fussy cutting (Pebbles Americana Liberty) to create the flower clusters, but I like how they add a feminine touch to page. The background shape was done on a whim. It was originally a 9x10 piece of paper that I was going to use behind the photo, but it felt so boring, so I cut it into these random geometric shapes. Next, I added some machine stitching to the edges to give it a quilted feel. The funny thing is that after I took the photo and posted it on my blog, I thought it looked kind of like a firework exploding. What do you think?

Which is why I was SO excited to see Emerson's home that she shares with her hubby Ryan (great name!) in New Hampshire featured on design*sponge yesterday. I love her style, I love her products... would I love her home?
Reader, I was not disappointed.

text: U.S. public pension problem could be shrinking: SurveyOrganizational, operational changes help ensure sustainabilityBy Lisa Lambert06/08/2011|hrreporter.com|Last Updated: 06/08/2011 (Reuters) – As the issue of underfunded public pensions in the United States takes center stage at city council meetings, state budget drafting sessions, congressional hearings and public protests, a report released on Wednesday says the problem may be getting better."Public pension funds are experiencing a robust recovery from the historic market downturn of 2008-2009, reporting strong investment returns, growing assets and funding levels on track to meet obligations," said the National Conference of Public Employee Retirement Systems (NCPERS).The group, the largest trade association for public sector pensions, surveyed state and local systems representing 7.6 million people and assets exceeding US$900 billion.It found that over the last year, funds have achieved an annual investment return of 13.5 per cent, nearly double the 7.7 per cent rate many assume.On average, pension systems are 76.1 per cent funded, meaning they can cover more than three-quarters of liabilities, said NCPERS. Typically, pensions are considered fully funded when they surpass 80 per cent."In addition, funds have responded to changes in the economic, political and social landscape by adopting substantial organizational and operational changes to ensure their long-term sustainability," said NCPERS.Pensions are backed by contributions from employees and employers and by earnings from investments, which NCPERS found make up 66 per cent of fund revenue. Employer contributions, essentially the taxpayer bill, comprise about 24 per cent of revenues, it said.RELATED ARTICLESStaff wanted: Pensioners welcome, but anyone, reallyAging Singapore: City-state helps firms retain workers past retirement ageDigitalization cuts labour costs, services inflation: StudyTypically, when investment returns are low, governments increase contributions. But amid some of the worst budget crises in recent memory, state and local governments cut deposits just as the stock market plunged.With most states beginning a new fiscal year in less than one month, investors in the US$2.9 trillion municipal bond market are worried they cannot fund pension promises.The study found the annual investment return for pension funds when averaged over three years, which would include the time of the financial crisis, was one per cent.NCPERS found over the last two years most public pensions have lowered their assumed rates of return, lengthened the period of time to amortize their liabilities, increased employee contributions and raised the retirement age.The findings are in sync with a recent National Conference of State Legislatures report that 33 states changed their public pension plans from January 2010 through May 2011, with 23 requiring future employees to make higher contributions.On Wednesday, the Philadelphia City Council took up reforming its Deferred Retirement Option Plan. It allows workers to set a retirement date four years in the future and then deposits pension payments into an interest-bearing account leading up to that date. Retirees are paid a lump-sum amount and a reduced monthly pension when they retire.Saying the system costs Philadelphia hundreds of millions of dollars, Mayor Michael Nutter has proposed scrapping the plan, known as DROP.

This tranquil little Dutch outpost is one of the Leeward Islands' most overlooked destinations. Known worldwide as Statia, was discovered in 1493 by Christopher Columbus. Statia's history reveals 22 flag changes until in 1636, the Dutch took final possession. During America's War of Independence, Sint Eustatius, at one point, was the only link between Europe and the struggling American colonies.
During the islands history it reached a population of 20,000 inhabitants. Today, its population hovers around 2,100 with more than 20 nationalities represented within Statia's populace with many residents being direct descendents of these times.
Although it may lack glorious beaches, it also lacks hordes of tourists. Visiting the island is a bit like stepping back into the Caribbean of decades past - islanders enjoy striking up a conversation, stray chickens and goats mosey in the streets and the pace is delightfully slow.
Oranjestad, the island's capital and its only town, is a pleasant place with a fine sense of history. Located along the waterfront, Lower Town was the location of the original port town and still has some ruins from the colonial era, as well as the island's best beach and its harbor. Upper Town is Oranjestad's main commercial and residential area.
Right in the center of town, Fort Oranje is an intact 17th century fort complete with cannons, triple bastions and a cobblestone courtyard. It's perched on the cliffside directly above Lower Town and offers a broad view of the waterfront below.
The St Eustatius Museum, operated by the St Eustatius Historical Foundation, gives visitors a glimpse of upper-class colonial life on Statia and is one of the region's finest historical museums. It occupies the Simon Doncker House, a restored 18th-century Dutch merchant's home with collections of nautical artifacts, china and hand-blown bottles. The basement, formerly a wine cellar, houses the museum's pre-Columbian collection.
The Honen Dalim, an abandoned synagogue that dates from 1739, is the second oldest in the western hemisphere. About half a kilometer east of the synagogue ruins is a Jewish cemetery with gravestones dating from 1742 to 1843. The thick stone walls of the old Dutch Reformed Church, built in 1755, remain perfectly intact, but the roof collapsed during a 1792 hurricane and the building has been open to the heavens ever since. You can climb the steep steps of the church tower for a good view of the surrounding area.
Although high seas and hurricanes have taken their toll on Lower Town's historic waterfront, the remains of the old foundations from some of the 18th-century warehouses that once lined the coast can still be seen jutting into the water along the shore. Submerged sections of the old seawall that once protected the harbor front can be explored by donning a mask and snorkel.
The road south from Oranjestad ends abruptly at Fort de Windt, where a couple of rusty cannons sit atop a cliffside stonewall. While there's not much else to this small 18th-century fort, you'll be rewarded with a fine view of St Kitts to the southeast. The most interesting geological feature in the area is the white cliffs to the east of Fort de Windt, a landmark readily visible from neighboring islands.

We rehomed Max about 2 years ago, when he retired from racing, via the Lincolnshire Greyhound Trust. Little did I know how many questions I would answer about rehoming a greyhound on our daily walks, from workmen calling out 'Did he win anything?' to toddlers asking if he is a donkey, to people seriously considering adopting a greyhound wanting to know about food and walks.
Once I had the best chat with an elderly Scottish gentleman who told me stories of helping his Dad train a greyhound by cycling across the park with various treats tied to the back of his bicycle, then there is the lady across the road had a greyhound she says lived to be 19, and always stops to stroke Max. He is a great conversation starter.
1. Did he win anything?
Max aka Bower Hawk apparently won 20 of his 60 races at national level, which is pretty impressive, so I am told, I've never really been a fan. He had a knack of coming in from the back and winning, which made him an exciting dog to watch. His father was the legendary Westmead Hawk, the first animal to be given a waxwork at Madame Tussards.
2. Is he a 'rescue' dog?
That's a tricky one, as any sport that involves betting is obviously open to abuse. As with all dogs, sadly I know people who have rescued racing greyhounds who have been badly treated, or cast aside when they couldn't race. But I have now met many greyhound trainers through forums, and read blog posts about their routines and dog's days – it is clear many take much better care of their dogs than the average owner.
Max had a long wait in kennels to be rehomed, but kennels were what he was used to, it was adopting to life in a family home that too some practice, more on that in a minute.
Our impressions of Max lead us to believe that he has been very well trained and cared for, both as a racer and during his time with the Lincolnshire Greyhound Trust while waiting for a home, and the vet concurs, so I generally say he was rehomed or adopted. This certainly made taking on a dog who has had a previous life really easy for us.
On one hand, Max is a very pampered pooch these days, he loves his new bed and soft blanket. And yes, I do tuck him in and cover him up with this lovely fleecy blanket at night.
On the other hand, I do sometimes wonder if he misses the excitement, the company of other dogs, the attention of his trainer, from his racing days,
3. He must have so much energy, does he run around the house all day?
No, he sleeps, a lot, an awful lot. Greyhounds are sprinters, a quick dash and they are worn out.
I purposefully chose the greyhound breed because I work at home and I knew I wouldn't cope with a dog that was too busy, yappy or chewy. Max sleeps most the day, in fact he is a lot like a cat.
His gorgeous and very comfortable new bed he was sent from Wayfair to review, I finally found some cool designs, I love the stag print, but there is also a hare print, which amused me, as I am always wondering if Max dreams about rabbits. The bed comes in lots of sizes, even big enough for a stretched out greyhound and it is great to have a more unusual design that matches the room.
4. Do greyhounds need lots of exercise, you must have to walk him lots?
It's actually a myth that greyhounds need a lot of walks, two twenty minute walks a day is enough and Max walks beautifully on the lead. From time to time we take him somewhere enclosed where it is safe for him to zoom around off lead. Greyhounds can reach 40mph so its important they can't bump into things, or become disorientated and get lost, and extendable leads are a complete no no as you can imagine!
He does do the odd bit of Yoga, downward dog is his favourite…
5. Why does he have a coat on?
Greyhounds don't have a lot of fat and feel the cold more than other dogs. Max loves his snug wax jacket.
He also feels the cold at night, but he has been sleeping brilliantly since we upgraded his bed and invested in a really warm blanket, no more trying to hop on my bed at 5am!
6. Why has he got a tattoo in his ear?
I believe that was used to make sure the right dog was entered in the right race. People have also told me Irish dogs have tattoos in both ears, so maybe he is Irish.
7. Is it true greyhounds can't climb stairs?
Many racing hounds will not have had to encounter houses before, and things like stairs or French windows can take time to adjust to. It was the funniest thing to watch Max's legs fly in every direction at first, but he soon cracked the stairs. He does tend to go up and down at speed, which can be a little unnerving the first time you see it, he never barks at the door, but he will come flying down to welcome me home, or to see who is at the door. Some owners stick stickers on French windows, to stop dogs running into them.
8. How long did it take him to settle?
The first few days took some adjustment, Max didn't like being on his own at night, so we moved his bed upstairs and he has been brilliant ever since. It is possible to teach greyhounds to sleep downstairs, we were just soft! He also had to learn how to behave around food, and although he is tall enough to steal from the table, he quickly learnt that putting his feet on the table to help himself wasn't allowed. He was very quickly house trained thanks to advice from Lincolnshire Greyhound Trust. I would be lying if I said there weren't occasional accidents, but these are the result of missing a walk or being left alone for too long – our fault rather than Max's.
He manages odd days alone, but generally we don't leave him for more than 4 hours at a time, he loves to be where we are, and will make his bed on the floor of whichever room we are in. He also likes to have peace, greyhounds sleep very deeply, so he has a quiet corner of the house where we all know to leave him to himself.
9. Don't greyhounds take up lots of room?
Greyhounds are tall dogs, but they are skinny and can also curl up very small. Max will take up the whole 4 person sofa if we let him, but we can equally fit 3 people and Max on the sofa when he curls up. Boot space is a consideration, especially for holidays, but we find we can still fill 1/2 of the estate car boot around him. He is so calm and quiet around the house, so he doesn't feel like a big dog.
10. Don't they eat a lot of food?
Max eats two mugs of dry food, twice a day – the vet says dry food is best for his teeth. Sometimes we give him bits of meat, fish, leftovers, eggs and cheese as a treat.
Black dogs get an unfair bad name
Having Max has been the most brilliant adventure, he is truly part of the family. I never liked people referring to depression as a black dog, because Max is quite the opposite, he calms me down when I am stressed, he is the kid's first port of call after a long day at school. He keeps me company working at home and he encourages us all outdoors for some head space.
More information
Max came from the Lincolnshire Greyhound Trust, you can also find out more about rehoming in other areas from the Retired Greyhound Trust.
Max's bed and blanket are from the range for pets at Wayfair, including funky pet beds from Danish Designs and this blanket.

I could sit here and blab about England recording their 5th successive 3-0 win against the superpower that is Estonia, or about Wayne Rooney finally breaking his international duck or even about seeing Ashley Cole seriously injure himself, but I cant bring myself to speak about something so mundane and boring. I would like to talk about something more important, something that came to my mind when watching England triumph in the rugby World Cup Semi Final. I always thought England were supposed to be crap at penalties?
There are many similarities between England's rugby and football teamsboth sides have an ability to underachieve at times, both teams fail to play with the style and grace of other more flamboyant countries and both teams have a manager who is often criticised for team selections. That's probably where the similarities stop. Who would you rather see your daughter bring home as her prom date? Wayne Rooney or Jonny Wilkinson? Rio Ferdinand or Jason Robinson? I think its quite clear the kind of difference in personnel we are dealing with here.
The rugby team have actually won something in recent times, yes I admit, winning a tournament with 5 teams who have a chance, is a lot easier than winning a World or European football tournament, but its an achievement not to be sniffed at. When England won the rugby World Cup they had quite possibly the best team in the world at the time, but I bet you didn't know it, I bet you were not smothered with the hype from the Sun newspaper. We weren't flooded with the media proclaiming the second coming of Christ, like we get every 4 years with the football World Cup, from Owen to Beckham to Rooney to Walcott(lol), we have heard it all before, about how these players would lead England to their first World Cup win since "66, but why hasn't this happened? Why have the England rugby side overshadowed the football team?
Well its all about balls, big juicy ones and the England rugby team and most notably Jonny Wilkinson have massive huge balls, as demonstrated once again on Saturday night in the Stade de France, let alone 4 years ago in Australia. As the media expectation heaped on the English football team gets larger and larger their balls become smaller and smaller and smaller.
From Lampard to Vassell to Southgate to Batty to Waddle to whoever. It's a long list of players who simply didn't have the balls when it mattered. Even through years of constant failure, they have been expected to bring home a trophy, but the dreaded penalty has always been the cause of their demise.
These players and future england star players now have balls the size of cashew nuts,
and that won't change until the media realises that they need to stop heaping so much expectation on the football players, regardless of how many so called "world class" players they have.
Wilko on the other hand, is a man with huge melons between his legs.
He doesn't seem to crack under the pressure and is a man who knows how to take a penalty, the footballers can learn a lot from this man. Keep your mouth shut, don't hype yourself up, stay out of the limelight, ignore the media and get yourself fit. Do that and maybe your balls will grow and you might have the bottle to take a penalty and win England a World Cup.

EDU 4250- Pedagogical Reflection
Malcolm Little, known by most as Malcom X, was raised in Harlem. I was raised in the suburbs of Vancouver, WA. Little was often hailed as a "model schoolboy" throughout his early academic years, displaying a wonderful joy and enthusiasm for life. I was a carefree, easygoing troublemaker in my early years. Little was told by a junior high school teacher that he had no chance of becoming a lawyer—a dream of his at the time—because he was black, and black people supposedly "had to be realistic" (49) about their occupational possibilities. I was told that I could one day become an incredible teacher. Little responded to his news—his unfortunate, new knowledge about the realities of life for a young black child—with a tragic plunge into a life ruled by drugs, hustling, gangs, and crime. I responded to the supportive encouragement I received by working tirelessly to improve my intellectual self. Little went to prison; I continued to go to school. While in prison, Little discovered a passionate love for learning and leadership. This new knowledge led to his being freed from prison and eventual rise to prominence among the African American population of the day. One early morning I was frantically woken by my mother and told to pack my things, as we were moving out of our house because my dad had lost it by gambling away all of our money. A couple days later, my mother and father filed for a divorce. This knowledge led me down a path of frustration and self-doubt. Little continued to rise in influence, power, and fame. I began a long period of avoiding my schoolwork, slacking off, and breaking any relational bonds I had at the time. Shortly before his death, Little traveled to Mecca and was immediately touched by a peaceful, humble way of life. In a series of several experiences throughout early high school, I was forever changed by the love and affection of my Savior, Jesus Christ. Little's anger diminished; my self-confidence returned.
In no way, shape or form, am I suggesting my life should be seen in the same light as the legend of Malcolm X. He was simply a genius, I am but a simple man. He was intellectually gifted, passionate, influential, and a brilliant leader of his people. I have yet to do anything of any real circumstance in this world. My point in the above paragraph is not to advocate for my comparison to the great Malcolm X, but rather to point out how everyone—no matter their background, upbringing, or experiences—undergoes a series of transformations. Jane Roland Martin, author of Educational Metamorphoses: Philosophical Reflections on Identity and Culture, argues these transformations, these small or large educational experiences, are the foundation of our personal, social, and intellectual development. She asserts, "Throughout history and across cultures education… has changed the way we humans walk, talk, dress, behave, view the world, and live our lives. In other words, it has utterly transformed us" (1). Malcolm X experienced four of these transformations; one in his development into a model schoolboy, one as he fell into a criminal life on the streets of Harlem, one in rise to a infamous, influential leader, and finally one in his discovery of a humble, beneficent faith. I experienced several as well, including my life as a young troublemaker, development into a driven student bent on becoming a teacher, fall into shame during my parent's divorce, and rise to a passionate, confident follower of Christ. According to Martin, education serves as a "powerful maker and shaper of human lives" (2).
As part of Martin's exploration into how educational metamophoses "make and shape" our lives, she discovers that we must abandon two common assumptions: education resides only within the confines of a school and education necessitates improvement (48). Personally, this first thought is rather significant. Although I am ashamed to admit it, when I used to imagine education, my mind immediately leads to school. However, lately my ignorance on this issue has become quite apparent. My first few weeks in the classroom have served as a constant bombardment as to how my students are not simply blank sheets of paper when they arrive at school each day. Each student comes to school with backpacks filled with cultural backgrounds, identity issues, past experiences (good and bad), personal bias, unique personalities, relational concerns, painful memories, happy memories, emotional inconstancies, and varying socio-economic backgrounds. To assume that these students are only going to learn from what YOU teach them that day is simply ignorant. We as teachers must respect the significant educational experiences that occur outside our classroom. On the second day of my internship, a young female student announced her homosexuality to me during passing time. She then went on to describe how her ex-girlfriend had attempted to commit suicide the previous evening, and how she was leaving school to be with her partner at the hospital. Clearly, this student was learning much more about life from what was occurring outside of my classroom, than inside of it. Citing argues, "Schools can make people dependent on school without really educating Somehow my lesson on Sophocles' character development in Oedipus Rex did not hold a candle next to the raging fire of fear, regret, relationship issues, and identity complexes burning within that student. I walked her down to the counselor's office to then be picked up and taken to the hospital, and have never regretted my choice. I know that if I had simply understood education as schooling—if I had ignored the true, applicable learning experiences life presents everyday outside of the classroom—I would have failed that student.
The second assumption about education Martin argues must be torn down is that education necessitates improvement. As Malcolm X's experiences in junior high school with the "realistic" teacher clearly portray, education does not necessarily lead to improvement. By being told he should give up on his dream of becoming a lawyer, by experiencing that painful bout of education, Malcolm X's life was immediately led down a road paved with pain, crime, and prison. Martin explains it much more clearly: "Malcolm's metamorphosis into a hustler was not brought about by a wave of a wand or the administration of a drug… it was due to education in the broadest sense of that term… that acknowledges that education can be either educative or miseducative" (49). In similar fashion, learning of my parent's divorce lead me to a dark place of shame and frustration. Simply put, education cannot only lead to a life enriched, but also a life worsened.
So what does this information mean for teachers? Should these broken assumptions and new ways of thinking undermine our passion and commitment to teach? No. Never. By reflecting on Martin's ideas, along with our own experiences in the classroom, we must never forget that teaching is a fragile, sacred art. As sculptors carefully, painstakingly form beautiful statues from rocks, so to must teachers sculpt. We, like the sculptors before us, must see our students for the potential they possess. We must see them filled with a potent power to transform, and be willing—in insatiable courage—to support their transformations. With love, affection, understanding, and patience, we must see to it that the transformations we encourage be ones of improvement. With a continually widening perspective, we must see to it that we support our students' education outside of the classroom. With constant reflection and refined thought on the complexity of students' identity formation—from gender to ethnicity—we as teachers must always respect our students as individuals, and treat them as such. In all that we do, we must always remember that life is simply made up of a series of educational metamorphoses, and that the decisions we make as educators will undoubtedly affect the lives of our students for years to come.

03.04.2013 Studio News, Trends
You're one of the world's biggest movie stars and you're hot off your latest film, the wildly successful Django Unchained. What do you do for fun? If you're Leonardo DiCaprio, you don't only hop into one of the coolest—and greenest—cars on the planet, you buy into the company. This ain't no Prius, people. This is the Fisker Karma.
A bona fide green activist, Leo set off a celebrity trend of 'green auto envy' when he famously drove himself to the Oscars in a Prius. Not one to shy away from the press or his sense of civic duty, the star has made a conscious effort to put his beliefs where his wallet is by working actively with organizations like Global Green, and by investing in progressive technologies that strive to make a difference on the planet.
Parlay Studios was able to play a part in Leo's environmental initiatives by standing in for a Hollywood scene shop. The star talked about his latest efforts, his driving history, and how he got involved with Fisker. Also on set: the new Fisker Karma—a green sports car that drives like a Porsche and uses gas like a Prius (read more about it here).
The shoot was pulled together at the last minute with the team from Fisker, who all flew in on a red-eye from LA. Even with a tight hour and a half-day shooting schedule, Leo was both on time and a gracious guest. He strolled into the Parlay café and gave the surprise of the day to our Barista Julia and some of our other clients by sitting down to make small talk over coffee. Our thanks goes to the team from Fisker and photographer Larry Busacca for thinking of us!

Just an Observation from Kinko's
So I'm back at the local Kinko's, downloading QuickTime 6.2 and iPod Updater 1.3 before heading back to my slow, on-the-road modem connection.
Next to me here at Kinko's is a gentleman with a PowerBook G4. And what's he doing while he waits for his documents to print? Downloading tunes via LimeWire.
It's ironic and maybe a bit telling: while I download software that will allow me to buy music, someone next to me is stealing it.
Just an observation.

Napoleon Hill Certified Instructor, Jan Poscovsky, who I met at the 2011 Napoleon Hill Leader Certification trip in Ireland, wrote a great article on Leadership for my website and newsletter readers. Enjoy!
"We are all leaders--whether we want to be or not. There is always someone we are influencing--either leading them to good--or away from good." Leif Erickson
We may all be leaders, but what type of leaders are we?
Is the payback we get different depending on the type of leader we are?
I believe it is, and here's why:
First, I believe that there are basically three categories in which we as leaders fall. We are either a willing leader, a reluctant leader or a leader by default.
If you consider yourself to be a willing leader you are someone who stepped up and took on a leadership position in some form or fashion, congratulations! You saw a need and filled it. Those of us who have run for an elected office within an organization or club, or who have petitioned to be a leader fall into the category of willing leader.
If you are a person who grudgingly agreed to take on a position because someone twisted your arm, you would be a reluctant leader.
And a person, who has avoided leadership opportunities at all cost, is still a leader, even if it is by default.
All three leaders serve as role models, but are they leading their followers to good or away from good?
You might be asking how someone can be a leader when they aren't in charge of anything and they aren't leading anyone anywhere. The truth is that through action or inaction, people are influencers, and by virtue of that influence, they are leading.
Take the impressionable child who watches the actions of his or her older brother, a person he looks up to and idolizes. That child will usually model whatever behavior he sees, whether good or bad. The older brother is being a leader by default to that younger sibling.
There are many other examples that you have probably seen illustrated throughout your life where these influencers have a negative impact on others. But instead, let's look at the positive impact that leadership has for the willing leader.
We mostly hear what quality leadership does for those who follow, but we rarely hear about how leadership benefits the leader. When a leader willingly takes on his role, and does his job with enthusiasm and with a positive attitude, there are multiple benefits that result. By doing his job in the best way possible, and "going the extra mile", that leader activates 4 universal laws or rules - the Law of Compensation, the Law of Increasing Returns, the Law of Reciprocity and finally, the Law of Contrast. These powerful and immutable truths provide many tangible and intangible benefits for the leader.
The first law is the "Law of Compensation." You've probably heard the old adage, "What goes around, comes around." Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote a beautiful essay about this law. He explained that we must live in abundance rather than in a void. If we have gifts, we should share them, for the mere act of doing so, willingly, brings them back to us. When we appreciate others, we receive appreciation in return. As a willing leader, the giving of your gift of leadership helps many people accomplish their goals. By helping people along their path to greatness, you as a willing leader feel fulfilled. You also create a grateful following.
The second law, the "Law of Increasing Returns," is similar to the "Law of Compensation" with a twist. It states that whatever you put out there, comes back multiplied, based your attention and intention. Napoleon hill used a formula, Q + Q +MA = C explained as follows: The Quality plus the Quantity of your service, plus the Mental Attitude with which it is delivered results in the Compensation you receive. This applies whether in wages or in the manner in which one is received and perceived. The Law of Increasing Returns provides you with a bounty if you invest your time and energy. A perfect example of how it works is what happens when a gardener plants just one tomato seed. If he plants it in fertile soil, waters it, makes sure it gets plenty of sunlight, a plant will sprout from that one seed. If he continues to nurture that one plant with intention and attention, it will eventually produce a crop of many tomatoes, rewarding its overseer with increasing returns.
By being a leader and investing your time and energy in others, the Law of Increasing Returns will provide additional benefits beyond making you feel good. It will provide you with the respect, the support and the cooperation of others. Having a loyal following will ultimately make your life easier and allow you to get more done. You will be able to make connections that will help take you places.
The third universal law from which a willing leader benefits is the Law of Reciprocity. Author and psychologist Robert Cialdini, PHD sites the "rule of reciprocity" as this: "The rule requires that one person try to repay, in kind, what another person has provided. By obligating the recipient of an act to repayment in the future, the rule for reciprocation allows one individual to give something to another with confidence that it is not being lost. This sense of future obligation within the rule makes possible the development of various kinds of continuing relationships, transactions, and exchanges that are beneficial to the society. Consequently, all members of the society are trained from childhood to abide by the rule or suffer serious social disapproval."
Cialdini also shares how years ago, the Hari Krishna, in an attempt to fund their sect, would panhandle to no avail. Their repeated requests for donations were ignored. Then they discovered the Law of Reciprocity. They began to hand people flowers or little booklets and amazingly, people would dig grudgingly into their pockets and pay them. These refined tactics made them a very wealthy organization.
As leaders, when our motives are pure and we give the gift of ourselves - sharing what we know, mentoring others to be their best- we create the basis of obligation from our followers. When it is time for us to ask for assistance, the people who have benefitted from our leadership are more likely to help us out. They are also more likely to become future leaders – wanting to give back because they have received so much.
The fourth law that provides benefits to the willing leader is the Law of Contrast. This law states that when someone goes the extra mile and does more than what is expected, he stands out from the crowd. This is especially true when his performance is compared to others who are working at the same job, but doing so with less enthusiasm (Q+Q+MA= C).
An illustration of how this works is to compare two silver dollars. One has been highly buffed and glistens while the other is dull, dirty and not very attractive. Each is of the same currency and minted in the same year. If you were given a choice to pick one of the coins, which would you choose? It's most likely that you would choose the shiny one because it is clean, attractive and stands out in comparison the dull and dirty one. The same holds true for leaders. A leader who stands out and who does his job beyond expectations will gain loyal followers. These loyal fans will often support that willing leader beyond the scope of the relationship within which they currently interact. Additionally, that leader will draw attention from others who acknowledge the job that he is doing. That attention could possibly lead to new opportunities and open new doors.
We may all be leaders, but being the best leader one can be – a leader who is engaged and truly exudes joy in his leadership - produces benefits beyond measure. A willing leader will gain as much if not more than what his followers receive from the leadership he provides. Since we are all leaders, doesn't it make sense for us to be the best leaders we can be? Being a willing leader will make the world a better place. As long as we share our gifts with genuine generosity and without expectation, the universe will compensate us by making our place a better world. It doesn't get much better than that!

Criminals target upscale communities
Despite some of the crime in the country taking place in areas that are considered to be volatile, a number of wanted individuals have been hiding in places where they are not expected to be.
The police have managed to track down some of these persons in upscale communities or high-end guest houses. Numbered among them is Andre Bryan, otherwise called 'Blackman', the reputed leader of the Blackman Gang.
The Blackman Gang is a breakaway of the notorious Spanish Town-based Clansman Gang. He and some of his relatives were picked up at a house in upper
St Andrew on March 4. Police investigations revealed that they were paying a monthly rental charge of US$1,500 (approximately J$190,000).
Last September, Marlon Perry, aka 'Duppy Film' who was the country's most wanted person, spent his last night in a beachside guesthouse in Port Morant, St Thomas, before he was killed in a shoot-out with the police.
Dahlia Garrick, acting head of the Corporate Communications Unit of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, said that since the advent of lottery scamming, the police have noticed that some criminals integrate into the established middle- and upper-class communities to try to avoid detection.
"Criminals sometimes, in trying to stay under the radar or escape the scrutiny, will oftentimes
integrate themselves into established communities," she told THE WEEKEND STAR.
Garrick said that some of these criminals carry out criminal actions in areas that are consider to be volatile and then return to their homes in more developed areas.
"Just like a nine to five, they consider that as their way of illicitly making a living, so they will sometime go to other places to commit the act and return to communities, living as normal law-abiding citizens," she said.
Garrick is asking persons to get to know their neighbours and alert the police if they witness abnormal behaviour in their communities.
"Sometimes, it is not until something happen that you say, 'Oh my God, that person has been living next door to me for how long'," she said.
