Asmodee Takes Several Golden Geek Awards
See Which of Your Favorites Won Big
Just last night, BoardGameGeek.com held their 10th Annual Golden Geek Awards for 2015, with many popular Asmodee games taking home the gold. As one of the most important sources of board gaming culture, news, and discussion, these awards are a great honor to receive, and among the most respected worldwide. BoardGameGeek has been a staple in the cardboard community since 2000, and Asmodee is honored to have so many games recognized by their panel of judges. Let's take a closer look at the best games of 2015!
7 Wonders Duel
New from Repos, 7 Wonders: Duel is the dedicated two-player iteration of the classic 7 Wonders empire-building game, which took Golden Geek Awards for Best Family Game and Best Card Game in 2011. 7 Wonders: Duel bested its predecessor by taking home no less than four awards and nominations! The game claimed Golden Geek Awards in Two-Player Game of the Year and Card Game of the Year, while grabbing Runner-Up spots for both Game of the Year and Strategy Game of the Year.
A fantastic hit from the team at Libellud, Mysterium puts players in the role of either psychic detective or helpful ghost, sifting through a slew of visions to divine the answer to a decades-old crime. One of the game's key features are its beautiful and haunting vision cards, which BGG recognized,awarding Mysterium the Golden Geek
for Artwork & Presentation. The game also received Runner-Up accolades for Family Game and Party Game.
T.I.M.E. Stories
A truly innovative approach to gaming, this roleplaying adventure game from Space Cowboys takes its players on a trip through the past to defeat threats to the time stream and save the future. Wonderfully unique and endlessly engaging, T.I.M.E. Stories missed out on the gold this year, but secured three Runner-Up spots for Artwork & Presentation, Innovative, and Thematic Game.
Splendor App
Previously highlighted on our website, the Splendor app is a great way to take your games of Splendor on the road. Able to support multiple players and modes of play, this digital product quickly became immensely popular among board game enthusiasts. It didn't escape the attention of BGG either, receiving a Golden Geek for Best Board Game App of 2015.
With mentions in nearly every category, the Asmodee catalog made a fine showing at this year's Golden Geek Awards. And with award season just beginning in the board gaming world, we expect many others to pop up in the next couple of months. Make sure to check back to the Asmodee website frequently to see all the latest news on some of your favorite board games, and contact your local retailer to check out some of the above titles you haven't yet had the chance to play.

Tinder: The Match.com of Our Generation
Written by Casey Mitchell
Image by Allison Merchant
When my dad asked me how I met my boyfriend, I made up an elaborate ruse about how we were introduced via friends of friends. When my boyfriend's mom asked him how we met, he made up a story about us meeting at a concert. However, the truth is even more romantic: we matched on Tinder about a year and a half ago.
Given that we're from different cities and a few years apart in age, it's not uncommon for people to wonder how we got together. I usually don't lie about it, but questioning from adults usually leads to me improvising an unconvincingly vague anecdote to avoid their confusion and judgment. When I give the real story to people my age, I'm sometimes met with surprise but increasingly they'll offer their own anecdote about knowing someone who met their significant other on Tinder.
To be honest, I didn't have any expectations when I downloaded the app. It was a fun way to pass the time and I got some laughs out of swiping through profiles with my friends. Cruel, I know. My boyfriend, on the other hand, later admitted that for him the app was a contest among his friends to see who could get the most matches with hot girls.
But as I started to chat with some of these matches I found that very few people would directly ask to "hook up," or even meet up at all for that matter. It seemed that everyone was just on the app, wandering aimlessly, looking to chat with a few cool people to break up the monotony of everyday work or school life. Not to mention that Tinder can act as a pretty huge ego-booster.

A German Baptist Testimony (1885)
On the eastern outskirts of Cleveland three sincere Christians and a pastor were led by God to begin a missionary work. Together they met in homes and established Nottingham Mission.
God Provides Land (1895)

Increased Growth (1920-1950)
April 30, 1924 marked the formal dedication of a new building. Nottingham purchased its first bus in 1946 and continued to reach out and grow. In 1949 the membership voted to purchase property on Lake Shore Blvd. for the purpose of building.
Change (1950-1980)
NBC held its first services on Lakeshore Blvd in July of 1955. Following the move, NBC changed its name to Euclid-Nottingham Baptist Church.
God's Guiding Hand (1980-2010)
With membership at 577 in 1984, Euclid-Nottingham Baptist Church voted in favor of the property purchase agreement with Euclid General Hospital in selling the church building and property. 1986 marked the move to 2921 Bishop Road and a name change back to Nottingham Baptist Church.

Under the sign of the hour glass
A show by the creater of our door, Lesley Hilling
"The whole secret of the operation," he added, ready to demonstrate its mechanism on his fingers, "is that we have put back the clock. Here we are always late by a certain interval of time of which we cannot define the length. The whole thing is a matter of simple relativity "
Inspired by 'The Sanatorium Under The Sign of The Hour Glass', a short story by Bruno Schulz, Lesley Hilling's second solo show at Nancy Victor explores memory and the passage of time.
Hilling collages new forms out of salvaged wood – old pianos, driftwood, floorboards and furniture are jigsawed and layered with an obsessive joinery. She creates something new from objects that once had a different life. Openings and compartments house tiny artefacts of memory – a photograph, a shell – a forgotten treasure. By collecting and archiving these objects we hope to keep our memories safe and perhaps turn back the hands of time.
For more information about the exhibition, please contact Rachael at firstname.lastname@example.com or Drew at the Nancy Victor gallery on 020 7813 0373

On September 18, 2014, the SBA announced it will waive the upfront guaranty fee for 7(a) loans of $150,000 or less. The waiver will be in effect for loans approved during fiscal year 2015 which runs October 1, 2014 through September 2015. "We zeroed out fees on loans of less than $150,000 to any 7(a) borrower because we don't want SBA fees to be an impediment to getting capital out to communities where it can make a game-changing difference," said SBA Administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet.
The upfront guaranty fee for 7(a) loans greater than $150,000 will be based on the loan amount and the term of the loan. LEARN MORE.

Astros slip past White Sox
HOUSTON — Erik Bedard pitched six solid innings, and Jose Altuve hit a go-ahead RBI single to give the Houston Astros a 2-1 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night.
Bedard (2-3) yielded three hits and one run with six strikeouts to bounce back from his previous outing when he allowed six runs in 4 2-3 innings.
Alexei Ramirez committed two errors in the fifth inning to help the Astros take the lead. The miscues ruined a great outing by Chris Sale (5-5), who allowed five hits and no earned runs with a season-high 14 strikeouts in eight innings.
Sale had retired 11 of 12 before Ronny Cedeno reached with no outs in the fifth on the first error by Ramirez.
Former New Caney standout Adam Dunn drove in the only run for the White Sox with an RBI single in the fourth inning. Paul Konerko had two hits for the White Sox, who defeated the Astros in the 2006 World Series.

"I've always wanted to see what it would be like to take all my favorite music genres and mix them together, while tearing down borders and restrictions we set for ourselves. It just happens that we tried it and oddly enough it worked better than we could've imagined." – Kenneth Evans
On the Avenue is an Alternative Pop/Rap Rock group hailing from central Florida that was formed in October of 2013 by guitarist Kenneth Evans and front men Stevie Jackson and Aaron Forte. After many years of working together in studios and collaborating on several projects, it was just a matter of time before a project like OTA was born. Today, the group consists of 5 members and each musician adds their own unique style to the mix. Live performances from OTA are energy filled and sure to entertain. According to Stevie Jackson, "We give it our all, every time we hit the stage. No excuses, we just go in!"
OTA's debut freshman album "Champion" was released January of 2014. This album showcased a large variety of what the group could do; from Rock, Rap, R&B, and Pop this album had it all. After a year of performing the album, OTA's fan base started to grow and it was clear they had something special. Aaron Forte describes the group as one that "… inspire[s] each other to make the music that we create. You can tell by looking at us that we're not one dimensional and we're proud of that. We have literally taken musicians from different style backgrounds, put them in a room, and made something that shouldn't work, work effortlessly."
On the Avenue is comprised of Stevie Jackson (vocals/rapper), Aaron Forte (lead vocals), Kenneth Evans (guitar/vocals), Danny Ray Bowling (bass), and Lawrence Butler (drums). The band has shared stages with the likes of Cage the Elephant, Bear Hands, Cisco Adler, and more; has performed at the 2014 Vans Warped tour and 2014 Red Gorilla Music fest in Austin, TX (SXSW); won the 2014 Hard Rock Battle of the Bands for the Florida Region; and was named the #BuzzBand of year at the 2015 Florida Music Festival.

Bega space brings developers and artists together
A digital co-working space right in the heart of Bega has opened its "Creativity Suite" to an excited audience of Bega Valley creatives.
Labor's start-ups and digital innovation spokesman Ed Husic was on hand on Friday, April 29 to participate in a panel discussion on innovation as part of Regional Innovation Week and unveil the new space at CoWS Near the Coast.
The space includes a 3D printer, a digital audio station and digital media bar with digital music production software as well as synthesizers available.
"Any conversation about boosting innovation activity in Australia that doesn't involve Bega Valley isn't a conversation worth having because it instantly overlooks the energy that is in this region."
Mr Husic said the Labor Party was looking to set up a regional innovation fund if elected to government aimed at enticing young people to stay in rural areas.
"I'm very uncomfortable with innovation being only looked at as a wealth generator," he said.
We're opening it up to more colourful people from the world of art.Liam O'Duibhir
"Don't get me wrong it is important but not the be all and end all.
"There is a role for government to provide support and guidance," he said.
Mr Husic expressed his tech-savvy side, streaming the launch live to Twitter, drawing over 50 live viewers to the event from around the world.
Co-founder of 2piSoftware and Into IT Sapphire Coast Liam O'Duibhir said he was excited by the potential the space brings the community.
"We're opening it up to more colourful people from the world of art," he said.
"We have this growing community of innovators that collaborate and support each other's work, but Regional Innovation Week is about building future aspirations.
"This natural landscape is a big part of why we are here, and now we need to add in the layers of technology and infrastructure that allows this innovation economy to grow further," he said.
2pi Software's Carsten Eckelmann is also excited by the potential for innovative thinking the space will provide the Bega Valley.
"It was for nerds and geeks and now it is also for artists who produce beautiful things," Mr Eckelmann said on Friday during the launch.
Discuss "Space to share big ideas"

pride and prejudice...
there is a certain tranquility with being in the office alone. and where you can actually think outloud and curse when something isnt going rite. or that piece of damning code is just not doing what its supposed to and instead of backtracking you become the amateur cook and keep adding things hoping it will fall into place.
it never does.
well anyway, in the list of firsts this was the first nite i stayed late at work. only to discover that what i was working on was a total waste of time. sad, i know. and somehow word got around that the new hire is putting in late hours and my boss said after 9 i should take car service home. thats really nice! but i prefer the walk home since its my time for myself. apparently we've been advised not to abuse this service too, similar to staying late every nite and ordering dinner on the company account. ive never ever done that and i dont htink i will either unless its a whole team who stays late and is ordering in. theres a fine line between ethical and pure greed.
ok maybe thats too harsh of words. but my story with locksmiths in the city is just that. multiply everything by four times when you live here in the city. it is that expensive. but these guys take full advantage of the fact that not only you are in the city but that you are in a despearate situation, as my neighbour said pple will do anyting to get into their appartments. ok backtrack. i closed my door without realizing my keys were still inside. and initially they advertise on the phone a small fee + labour. and since you wouldnt really think the fee is greater than the labour charge, i agreed. i was so wrong. its highly inflated. its more costly than going to a doctor's. learnt a really costly lesson and will be so much more careful now.
theres a certain bias with pple who are scared of dogs here. i was told off by some guy walking his dog, when i moved away. "its only a dog not a dinosaur". No way. "i wear glasses, doesnt mean im blind". ok i didnt say that, but i wanted to.
im sorry, im scared. i just am. call it a genetically mutated dog fearing gene or cultural bias, but i am. and when a really grumpy looking dog shits on the road. i cringe. i consider that a freedom of my expression. im allowed to be grossed out. i would do the same if it were human, ant or even plant. anyone elses stuff apart from your own grosses the other. but pple will be like why you being mean about my dog. touchy. jeez.
well neway some highlights of work, the close proximity to barnes and nobles. my lunch breaks, when i take it that is, is spent reading. my mood dictates what i read its always interesting to see what others are reading. the students mostly magazines and mostly sitting near the areas where they particularly say not to read magazines. hehe. older pple usually travel books or poetry books. and theres always one person in the historical romances. quite a few pple in the management/finance section. this is always a good thing. i would imagine if you are a writer, which there are quite a few of, the saddest thing would be if no one ever reads what you wrote. but such is life and one tends to read the ones which are most advertised. ive been reading this book called "liar's poker", which i shall review once im done. i read this really interesting book on converted muslims (mostly women) and how their parents come to terms with it. i wonder if majority of converted muslims are women? or any religion for that matter, are most converts women? then i read this book which was general knowledge when you are in the loo. and despite having read most of it i can only remember that mosquitoes tend to bite children more than adults. hmm, no wonder. i shouldve known.

Around 25 new jobs have been created at an extra-care housing scheme.
Kirklees Council was finally handed the keys to Woodland Court on School Lane in Dewsbury, by Wates Living Space last week.
It is the first of three extra care developments within the Excellent Homes for Life project to be completed, providing 46 homes for people who want to live independently, but require additional care and support.
The development will officially open in July, and last week, the council awarded Radis Community Care, which is looking to fill around 25 posts, the care contract.
Excellent Homes for Life is a partnership between the council and Regenter Excellent Homes for Life, a consortium of companies including Wates Living Space and John Laing. Pinnacle PSG will manage and maintain the new homes over the next 20 years on behalf of the council.
A second extra care site will open in Heckmondwike later in the year and by the end of 2014, 466 one and two bedroom homes will have been built by the project.
Coun Molly Walton, Kirklees Council's cabinet member for adult social care, said: "We're delighted Woodland Court is opening soon. We're looking forward to working closely with Radis. The support they provide will help people to live the life they choose in their own home independently, whether this is in an emergency or on a day to day level.'

Today the girls and I will drive with my husband's parents to our state capitol to protest SB 442. If this bill passes, it will eliminate all non-medical vaccine exemptions in Oregon. Only two other states allow only non-medical exemptions; West Virginia and Mississippi. Personally, (and no disrespect to these states) I would never want to model the health of our people after those two states. Mississippi has the highest vaccine coverage among kindergartners in the country, and the highest infant mortality rate to go with it. Coincidentally, (or not) The United States is the most vaccinated country in the world, and has one of the highest infant mortality rates, as well. Correlation doesn't equal causation? I'll let you decide. I mean, obviously there are other factors at play here, but it does seem a little weird that Finland and Japan have the lowest infant mortality rates and give 11 to 12 vaccines to Americas 36 vaccines by age 6.
The point I'm trying to make is, wouldn't you like to have the power to look at all the data and decide for yourself what is necessary for your children? Who knows them better than you? Those decisions should be between you and your doctor. (But ultimately you, since you have to live with the consequences.) The government is trying to tell you what is best for your kid, and when has our government gotten anything right in recent times? Not only will this be taking away our power as parents to decline a medical procedure that carries the risk of injury and death, but it also takes away the power of the doctors to treat you on a patient-by-patient basis. Believe it or not, but not all doctors agree with the CDC's bloated, aggressive vaccine schedule.
Not only does this violate the religious beliefs of many people, it also violates the Nuremberg Code, which was put into place after the atrocious forced medical experiments conducted by Nazi doctors.
"The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.
This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved, as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision."
No one should be in support of forced vaccination. We have a broken system in place, as it is. Did you know that a parent cannot sue the drug companies if a vaccine injures or kills their child? Since 1986, the drug companies have been protected by the government (whom I was under the impression works for us.) so they cannot be held liable, even for a faulty product. When this law was enacted in 1986, a tax was added to every dose of vaccine, and that tax goes towards a government fund. When someone is injured or killed by a vaccine, their family has to petition the court to review their case, and after a process that can take years, they may or may not receive a settlement. Let me give this to you strait: Our tax dollars are paying for these children's injuries and deaths, while the billion dollar pharmaceutical companies get to rake in the profits. They have zero accountability. So, it's really no big surprise, then, that the vaccine schedule has more than tripled since that time. Why wouldn't it have? As last month, over $3 billion has been paid out to the families of vaccine injured and killed children.
Right now, there are over 200 new vaccines in development. If you are okay with today's vaccine schedule, will you be okay with it in another thirty years? What if it triples again? Who owns your body? Who owns your child's body? Who stands to lose the most if your child is damaged by a vaccine? Will you be okay with vaccinating your other children, if your first child dies from a vaccine reaction? If we allow laws like SB442 to pass, we will be forcing Jews to inject themselves with pork, Hindus to inject themselves with beef and Christians to inject themselves with aborted human fetal cells. Now is the time to stand up for our rights; our rights to pick and choose what we wish to put inside our bodies. A very fundamental right, if you ask me. Learn more about vaccines ingredients and side effects, by reading the vaccine package inserts.

Here's a quick little movie review for those of you that are into altered books and journals. The name of the movie is "1000 Journals." It is about a project where this one person sent out 1000 journals all over the world, and the story of what happened then...kind of fascinating. It turns out that Tracy Moore (of Teesha & Tracy fame) is in the movie. He's the teacher I had for that wild polymer clay journal I made with the 3-d face on the front. Cool to see him. Anyway, I got the movie through Netflix.
So here is this week's question: Tell us a great tip you learned in a class somewhere, or even just from someone else at some time, not necessarily in a class..a tip about technique, or style that has, in some, way, made a difference in your art. It can be specific or general...no rules about your answers here. Here's mine-I was told, once, to just experiment, with my art supplies..not to wonder if I could do this or that, just to try it out and fail miserably, if that was to be the case, but, really, just to try everything...I have had some happy accidents, and a lot of miserable failures...and learned lessons from all of them. But mostly I have learned to experiment.
Here is a photo of the prize for this week's randomly-chosen winner. It is a template from Crafter's Workshop, a stamp designed by Tim Holtz (think it looks crazy??...use it and see how cool it is!!), a set of bling and some black glitter alphabets from Making Memories. Odd assortment??...I guess that's where the muse took me...see, I was experimenting!

How low has our culture fallen that Raquel Welch is telling young ladies to stop being so sleazy?
On a related note, this article on the 60th anniversary of the birth control pill provides some food for thought. Not endorsing it entirely, but I do have a sense, as a pastor, that this is an issue too often not given the kind of careful thought it deserves.

Racing thoughts run through my head,
I believe the demons are trying to keep me in bed.
Shake with fear all day long and hear a strange pop,
Please someone help me! make this stop!
I pray for the thoughts to stop tormenting me,
I feel like jumping high from a cliff into the sea.
Bad dreams and scary nights feel each day,
I wonder how long I will have to stay.
The drugs I take to make me well,
Fill my head so big I don't want to swell.
So many tormenting years to come,
Why me? This torture is no fun.

General Motors said the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze sedans, which will arrive at U.S. dealerships this month, will offer class-leading standard safety features, expected class-leading fuel economy, and more standard equipment than competitive vehicles.
"We set out to redefine the compact segment by offering customers more of the features they want for less money than comparably equipped competitive models," said Margaret Brooks, Chevrolet small car marketing director. "The Cruze offers significantly more value than the competition - and the vehicle it replaces - with standard equipment that is appreciated by today's consumers."
GM said the Cruze LS offers more additional equipment than the 2010 Honda Civic DX, the 2011 Ford Focus S, the 2010 Toyota Corolla and the 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt VL, which it replaces in the manufacturer's lineup.
With a starting price of $16,995 including destination, the Cruze LS offers:
- Air conditioning
- Power locks with remote keyless entry
- OnStar with Turn-by-Turn Navigation
- XM Radio, with three-month trial subscription
- AM/FM Single-CD radio
- StabiliTrak and traction control
- 6-speaker stereo system
- Rear side impact and knee airbags
- Passenger seat height adjustment
- 60/40 split folding rear seat
Cruze LS models feature a 1.8L Ecotec engine, rated at 138 horsepower (103 kW) and 123 lb.-ft. of torque (168 Nm) at 3,800 rpm. With the standard six-speed manual transmission, the 1.8L will deliver an EPA-estimated 26 miles per gallon city, and 36 mpg highway. With the available six-speed automatic, the 1.8L will deliver an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city, and 35 mpg highway.
Cruze LT and LTZ models feature a the 1.4L Ecotec turbocharged engine that delivers Ecotec 1.4L turbo, delivering 138 horsepower (103 kW) and 148 lb.-ft. of torque (200 Nm) between 1,850 rpm and 4,900 rpm. Paired with a standard six-speed automatic, the engine delivers an EPA-estimated 24 mpg city, and 36 mpg highway.
The Cruze Eco model, which goes on sale later this year, will be the most efficient model of the lineup. Eco models will feature the 1.4L turbo and a standard six-speed manual transmission. Combined with enhanced aerodynamics, weight optimization, and reduced rolling resistance, the Cruze Eco is expected to deliver a class-leading 40 miles per gallon on the highway.

Kiesza - Hideaway (One Shot Video Hall of Famer)
The one shot music video, with no cuts, seems like a great indie tool for those on a budget who don't have the cash for an editor. But, it usually takes much more planning, choreography, dozens of failed tries and complicated hard work than most would think. Just below is a good one for the One Take Hall of Fame by a true indie out of Canada named Kiesza. She is signed to a New York indie label Lokal Legend. This is her debut single that has had a strong impact that has gotten her a lot of attention in a short time. Enjoy! GC

By Chris Emma—
(670 The Score) Tough times don't last. Tough people do.
On countless occasions, Bears tight end Zach Miller has heard the familiar phrase. In the world of professional football, it's there as encouragement after a bad drop, a missed tackle, a heartbreaking defeat. For Miller, the message now means something different.
Miller nearly lost his left leg during a late October game in New Orleans after an awkward landing caused a torn popliteal artery. He was rushed in for emergency vascular surgery, with an NFL medical staff's awareness and the heroic efforts of those at a level-one trauma center saving his leg.
Miller walked his first steps without the aid of crutches Sunday. In the weeks since his injury, he has brought himself back to that day in New Orleans and realized how fortunate he was. Some 1,700 miles away in Temecula, California, there's a 16-year-old quarterback named Alex Ruiz who suffered a similar injury and will endure a different fate.
A junior quarterback for Linfield Christian School, Ruiz was running a zone-read option and opted to keep the football. He was caught up at the line of scrimmage but tried to step over the pile. His right leg snapped, and he went down in pain and panic. Ruiz recalls every detail from that moment – Oct. 6, 7:30 p.m. PT, the 15th play of a game against Ontario Christian – when his life changed forever.
Ruiz was rushed to a hospital, where his dislocated knee was popped back into place. The belief was that he was OK. Twelve hours later, there was no pulse in his right foot. He, too, had torn the popliteal artery, but it was discovered too late. In the coming months, Ruiz will have his foot amputated and replaced with a prosthetic.
He spent nearly seven weeks hospitalized and underwent two procedures. There's now constant treatment, maintenance and rehabilitation leading to the prosthetic. During his time in the hospital, Ruiz watched the awful injury to Miller unfold live. He never imagined what it could be until news came out that Miller would undergo emergency vascular surgery – a successful procedure that saved his left leg.
Miller received an incredible outpouring of calls, texts and messages from friends and strangers around the world. There was one in particular that moved him. It was direct message of Ruiz's mother, Shirley, who reached Miller's Instagram with Alex's story. On Nov. 24, three days after Miller left a hospital and returned home, Ruiz received a surprise text message from Miller.
I'm going through this with you!
I'll probably be leaning on you more than you're leaning on me!
Well we are in some tough times. But we will get through it!
Keep on doing your thing and win the little victories each day!
Tough times don't last, brother. Tough people do.
"It was kind of a surreal moment," Ruiz said after he re-read Miller's words.
With one lengthy and encouraging text, a unique friendship was sparked between a 33-year-old NFL tight end and 16-year-old high school quarterback leaning on each other during extraordinary challenges. Miller has spent the month since their first correspondence getting movement back in his left knee, which has since endured eight procedures. Ruiz is waiting for his amputation and the return of normalcy to his life.
Ruiz was forced to choose between living with a right leg limited in function or amputation and a prosthetic. The choice was clear – he wouldn't be restricted to anything.
"I don't look at it as I'm losing my leg," Ruiz said. "I'm getting the opportunity to do the things that I love. That's really how I think about it. I look at people with prosthetics now and I don't think of them any different. They live a normal and happy life, and I don't see why I can't do that."
Miller had texted Ruiz on Tuesday afternoon. Their conversations are frequent each week, often daily. The common theme is hope. They update each other on progress in their recoveries and push each other in their rehabs. Miller leans on Ruiz. Ruiz leans on Miller.
They're inspirations for each other.
"I appreciate him more than words can describe," Ruiz said. "He helps me so much.
"He is always there for me."
Added Miller of Ruiz: "Remarkable young man."
Ruiz will have a different holiday break than usual. He's stuck making up classes missed during his weeks in the hospital. In the meantime, he goes through extensive physical therapy to restore motion in the leg and keep his body active. Ruiz often finds advice and comfort by texting Miller. So often, when he needs the push, Miller is there with a message.
For Miller, Ruiz is every bit the inspiration. He sees a 16-year-old kid with an incredible perspective on life and plenty of advice of his own. After all, Miller said he would lean on Ruiz more than Ruiz would lean on him.
"I tried to tell him it gets better," Ruiz said. "Our body adjusts to certain things. I try to uplift him with that because there's always a light at the end of the tunnel."
Ruiz will soon find his light with the amputation – something he looks forward to. Reaching the decision wasn't easy, though the inspiration of those close to him eased his mind. He wears an extensive brace on his right leg, navigating the house with a walker and moving outside with a wheelchair.
Ruiz now has a different respect for the day-to-day tasks like getting dressed and moving up inclines, types of tasks that limit him now before the upcoming amputation.
"I didn't want any restrictions to my life and how I'd have to function," Ruiz said. "I wanted to be as mobile as I was before the injury. I thought the prosthetic gave me the best chance to do it.
"I never thought I'd have to make that decision in my life. But with the help of my friends, family and mentors I talked to, they don't know me as somebody restricted to anything.
"Honestly, everything is (good) in my mind. I'm kind of tired of my leg right now. I want it off."
The inspiration of a mind at peace came from countless people in Ruiz's life, including such an unlikely source in Miller.
Days after Ruiz suffered his injury, he laid in a hospital bed as Miller hauled in a touchdown pass on Monday Night Football – one that benefited Ruiz's fantasy football team. Their paths would soon cross through daunting circumstances and unwavering support of each other.
Two incredibly strong individuals vowed to be there for each other every step of the way.
"Our stories are the same, but with different outcomes," Ruiz said. "But that doesn't change anything. I'm still going to be able to walk and have a life, just like he is.
"I want to be walking with him."

BERLIN German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters on Monday that her trip to Washington to meet U.S. President Donald Trump had been postponed due to a fast-moving winter storm expected to hit the northeastern United States.
Merkel said Trump had called her to explain the severity of the expected storm. She said the trip would be rescheduled as soon as possible.
"The trip is cancelled," she told reporters who were to accompany her to Washington. Merkel had been due to meet with Trump on Tuesday.

Meet The Stars
Now you must be wondering why the title 'Smoldering Stars'. I can give you some major reasons why:
– One, 'smoldering' means burning. Some expressions and thoughts have the spark in them that can transform many lives around them.
– Two, it is not just one star— there are many. Millions in the sky, and a little less who run this blog 😉
– Three, it sounds attractive. Duh! 😀
Meet Snigdha, Muskaan & Srishti– the owners of this awesome place (and who, by the way, are three of the most intellectually-intriguing girls you'll ever come across). They are sixteen, fifteen and fifteen-and-a-half respectively. They love to read. They love to talk. They love to listen to music. They are obsessed with music that makes sense.
They enjoy the rain. They are dying to go to London. Two of them are crazy romantics (Muskaan and Srishti), the other is not a member of that fan club (Snigdha).
Most of all, they love each other's company. Keep coming back to experience their worlds, their interests and their friendship.
Au revoir, darlings! 🙂 XOXO

DIY Halloween Costumes for Kids
Easy to Make DIY Halloween Costumes
Need DIY Halloween costume ideas? Here are a few easy to make costumes using everyday household items courtesy of RealSimple.com. Visit the site to learn how to make these fun DIY Halloween costumes!
Movie Director
When it's time to yell "ACTION!", this little guy takes the lead. His classic get-up (black pants, cardigan, bow tie, beret) is easy enough for any behind-the-scenes movie-maker to pull off. And since no high profile director steps on set without his essentials—megaphone and clapboard—get the simple how-tos for making them
Spelling Bee
This costume starts with a basic black leotard and matching opaque tights. Dress up the leotard with yellow tape and adhesive letters, tack on wings made from wire clothes hangers and voila, your busy bee is ready to buzz around!
Rocket Man
Dress your space explorer in all white and add duct tape for arm band and leg stripe accents. What would a rocket man be without a rocket? Tape together two empty Pringles cans, top each of with a party hat, spray paint them all silver and add some fun streamers to the bottom. Ready for takeoff!
An idea that's—c'mon, we have to say it—out-of-this-world. This getup revolves around black pants and shirt (or black sweats) sprinkled with a constellation of shining star stickers. Layer on a bright sweatshirt that you've painted with Saturn-like bands (get the how-tos). Then add a pillow for stuffing and top it all off with as many "rings" as your little star can twirl.
Mad Scientist
It's time for an experiment! Make sure your scientist looks the part with khakis, a plaid shirt and bow tie. Add on a lab coat, goggles, and a "beaker" filled with a colorful gummy worm concoction that's just as fun to show off as it is to eat!
Monarch Butterfly
Fluttering around the front yard waiting for her Halloween adventure to begin. Dress your little lady in all black. To create her wings, you'll need hangers, black trash bags, and colorful tape (get the how-tos). And for her royal duds, it's simple to pull together this crown with some felt and everyday office supplies.

Reflections on a Year as HBA Woman of the Year
Standing on the stage at the Healthcare Businesswomen's Association (HBA) Woman of the Year event in New York one year ago, I recited a Moroccan proverb: "The arrogant man has no friends."
In Morocco, where I was born, it is a faux pas to talk about yourself. What's more, I'm a scientist, and at heart an introvert. I don't love being in the spotlight.
Yet, as I quickly learned, being named the 2017 HBA Woman of the Year was more than an honor, and it was about much more than me. It was an opportunity and a responsibility to give back to the community – in this case a community of women who are on their own career journeys.
In the year since—the year of #metoo and #timesup—I've seen firsthand that there is another powerful movement underway. Women in the healthcare community are making connections to share our successes, learn from our mistakes, and continue to build a pathway for the women who are just now entering the field or beginning their studies.
In my travels, both on behalf of HBA and in my capacity as a leader for a global biotech, I have heard common themes. Women around the globe share many of the same career challenges and many of the same concerns. We still experience pay gaps based on gender. We still find too few women in the C-suite and around the Board table.
We still want to change the system to make it easier for our daughters and their daughters to fulfill their passion to make the world a healthier place. And that means changing the narrative around diversity.
Diversity is not about "fixing women." We don't need fixing! Instead, it is about driving home the message that innovation happens when there is diversity of thought.
Statistics bear this out. When more women have a seat at the table, organizations are more successful. Simply put, diversity is good for business.
Consider the data: Research has shown that Fortune 500 companies with at least 3 women on their Boards see a 66% increase in return on invested capital and a 53% increase in return on equity.
And the facts go beyond big businesses. Small and mid-sized companies with at least one-woman director were found to perform better in their stock prices over a six-year period.
Even so, too many companies still think of diversity, inclusion and gender equity as a reputation issue. In reality, it is a bottom line issue that can strengthen balance sheets and catalyze business growth.
If my time as HBA Woman of the Year has shown me nothing else, it is that women in the healthcare industry must continue to come together and share this message: Diversity of thought drives innovation.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — Britain's benchmark index fell Thursday, led lower by miners and financial firms, while Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC rallied after it announced a new joint venture.
The FTSE 100 index (UKX) dropped 0.7% to 5,403.38, as other European stock markets also lost ground.
In the financial sector, Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LLOY) LYG, -0.32% and Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC (RBS) RBS, +0.00% fell 5.5% and 6.4%, respectively, after Fitch Ratings downgraded both lenders to A from AA-minus, citing the reduced likelihood of them receiving government support in a future crisis.
Barclays PLC (BARC) BCS, -2.51% dropped 7.4% after Fitch put the bank's rating on negative watch.
Ashmore Group PLC (ASHM) sank 4% after it reported that its assets under management had dropped by nearly 11% over the fiscal first quarter as the group's funds took losses on their investments.
Deutsche Bank analyst Carolyn Dorrett said in a note to clients that the $58.9 billion of assets under management that Ashmore reported was 8% below her expectations.
"Although falling indices explains some of Ashmore's negative investment performance, it does not explain it all. Ashmore's key funds also underperformed," Dorrett said.

In the mining sector, shares in Anglo American PLC (AAL) dropped 4.7% and Kazakhmys PLC (KAZ) dropped 5.7% after data from China showed both exports and imports grew at a slower-than-expected pace in September.

The two companies will cooperate to develop new engines for mid-sized aircraft. Under the deal, Rolls-Royce will also sell its stake in existing joint venture International Aero Engines to Pratt & Whitney for $1.5 billion.
Shares of British Airways parent International Consolidated Airlines Group (IAG) gained 0.5% after Deutsche Bank upgraded the stock to buy from hold.

Fact-checking last night's Republican debate would be fruitless, these sophists spoke of American myth, reaffirming old lore and telling new fables. It is a testament to the burning desire of the American people for collectivistic pursuit of shared prosperity that we are so vulnerable to the manipulations of nationalistic demagoguery even when it takes a repulsive individualistic bent wielded to justify extreme inequality. As the living conditions of the majority of the populace become more despicable, as they are individually consumed by the engines of a service economy that has no one to serve, they take refuge in the collective in order to escape themselves, in Kierkegaardian fashion, resigning from miserable individual existences to receive the peace of nationalistic universality. They yearn for salvation in communal universal goods and yet receive poison in the mythic propaganda of American individualism from the political Elite.
Oh, this problem is a big one, and I for one cannot fathom why the GOP is drinking its own Kool-Aid. They're like the drug dealer who ends up using his or her own product: paranoid, alone, and in trouble. Their narrative abandons reality in a way that even fiction writers couldn't justify. It's the same party of Hoover, who had the audacity to just let the country sink into the Great Depression.
Somehow we are locked into this system, with no simple way out of it. I feel at times like we are on a locomotive barreling across rickety tracks towards an unfinished bridge, with only a deep ravine and gravity to welcome our ruin.
