It is impossible not to hear and read political rhetoric every time we turn on a news channel or read a newspaper. We are continually exposed to constant reference to different types of ideologies and philosophies through the use of terms such as Liberal, Progressive, Left, Far Left, Conservative, Right, and Far Right and so on.These terms of fear are used as stigmas so that once associated with an individual or organization we no longer need to read what they are representing or who they represent we just need to fear them. All these terms are communicated to all of us easily in an age of high tech media and is a simple method of classification which than defines the dividing lines of individuals and organizations.
This is not new of course it goes back to the beginning of our independence when men of great vision experimented in a new order in our lives called democracy. A Democratic Republic where all men, women and children were equal with freedoms to pursue their dreams in a society where their government was designed to protect and provide a playing field which would assist them in attaining their goals individually yet contributing to the overall goal for the common good of our nation and all of its citizens. These were the true objectives as outlined in our Constitution and Bill of Rights. They built checks and balances by separating the three branches of Government the Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial. This same structure was set up in all the states of our union. Our founding fathers knew that power in the hands of just one branch was too absolute and would be a detriment to one of our basic ideologies of freedom from oppression and the common good.
One hundred and fifty years this system worked until 1929 when we learned that a new and powerful force threatened our freedom from oppression and the common good. We learned that unregulated commerce in our economic system of Capitalism could circumvent our Constitution and Bill of Rights and create a national hardship which could destroy all we had accomplished as a nation. Our great nation with its three branches immediately restructured and wrote regulations to prevent this from ever happening again. Fifty years later in 1980 our legislative branch led by our executive branch began the deregulation of our system of economics under Ronald Reagan "The Problem is Government" giving birth to a new ideology called Radical Republicanism. It began with Reaganomics, the trickle down theory, where the crumbs of progress would fall into the hands of the poor and middle class this is a form of oligarchy not yet achieved or has it been achieved today. The top 1% of our nation control 70% of its wealth as of 2008. In 1999 Radical Republicanism reared its head again with the repeal of legislature that protected us from freedom from hardship since 1929, the repeal of the Glass, Steagall Amendment of 1933 and our executive branch philosophy of continued deregulation. Over the next 8 years 2000 to 2008 Radical Republicanism accomplished the transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class utilizing the three branches of our government and a new branch of government I call the Commerce branch to accomplish this transfer. In 2009 the Supreme Court in a 5 to 4 vote ratified this Commerce branch by mandating that Corporations have the same rights as people thereby re-writing our Constitution and Bill of Rights. The Commerce branch now literally writes legislature solely for the purpose for the common good of all Corporations through a now new Republican and Tea Party majority in our Congress. Traditional Republican Conservatism is dead and has been dead for 30 years. They have been run over by Radical Republicanism with irrational ideologies supporting an extreme laissez-faire policy where Corporation will continue to have free reign and control over you, me, our children and our future. So I have now added a new term to the rhetoric Radical Republicanism only this is a defining reality which we should really fear.

Major VAT rule changes impacting how tens of thousands of e-service providers do business in the EU are less than four months away, yet the majority of those affected are unprepared and may be at risk of heavy non-compliance penalties.
Technology provider Taxamo, who offer software that helps companies navigate and process the new rules, say that e-service merchants, many of whom are small-to-medium sized businesses, are ill-equipped to deal with the significant obligations that come with the 2015 rules changes.
"We are highlighting this issue because every day we are taking calls and answering enquiries from merchants who are confused by the new rule changes and don't understand what they need to do to comply," said John McCarthy, CEO of Taxamo.
For example, In the UK, HMRC has estimated that some 42,000 online merchants will be affected by the new rules and a sizable portion of these will be small-to-medium sized businesses, many of whom don't currently have to register to pay VAT in the UK.
Marking the 100 day countdown to the adoption of the new rules, on Tuesday, September 23, Taxamo will host an interactive panel event aimed at giving merchants practical information on what the new rules mean for them, and how they can prepare. The event, which will be streamed live from Barclays Accelerator in London, will give merchants the opportunity to get first-hand information on the rules, with the option of asking questions to the expert panel.
Information on the event can be found here. The new EU VAT rules require merchants to identify where their end customer is located by collecting two pieces of non-conflicting evidence and then applying the correct VAT rate. There are additional compliance obligations around reporting VAT receipts, storing information on VAT transactions for ten years and ensuring compliance with the various VAT regimes across the EU. E-service merchants who do not comply with the new rules are liable for penalty in the jurisdiction of the Member State in which they have infringed on VAT laws.
"The sad part here is that even if a merchant is unaware of the changes, through no fault of their own, it will be them that will suffer. As a small e-service company ourselves, we empathise with the challenge facing merchants and want to do our part to increase awareness," McCarthy added.

Lake Birubi is just over 320 acres of prime fattening and heavy producing country which has been fenced into six main paddocks and three smaller paddocks ideal for bulls, rams or horses. There is a large shed for workshop, machinery and storage purposes, plus there is a laneway system leading back to the extensive set of steel cattle yards with all-weather road access.

WNBA: Catching Up With Rookie Natasha Cloud as Mystics Look to Even Weekend Series With Connecticut
WASHINGTON – Rookie guard Natasha Cloud helps the Washington Mystics continue their playoff push with a critical home game Sunday afternoon against the Connecticut Sun. Tip-off from the Verizon Center is 4:00 p.m.
The Mystics (12-8 overall) will try to rebound from Friday's 86-72 road loss to the Sun.
In addition, a win would give the Mystics the all-important season series victory for tie-breaking purposes. Of course a win by the Sun (11-9) would complete a weekend sweep and give it the same record as the Mystics with 13 games remaining.
Washington is hoping its comfortable surroundings make a difference.
The Mystics have won four consecutive home games.
One of the many reasons the youthful Mystics are a factor in a crowded Eastern Conference is because of Cloud, who has played like a 10-year veteran most of the season.
"I am still learning," Cloud said following the Mystics' 66-63 victory over the San Antonio Silver Stars last Wednesday.
"That's a big thing for me even though I am at the midway point of my rookie year. I am still coming out every day and learning new things. I am still figuring out what works and learning from the veterans on the team. I am more comfortable and confident in my game."
Cloud leads all rookies in assists, averaging 3.1 per game before Friday's game at Connecticut.
Over her last five games, Cloud has an out of this world assist-to-turnover ratio. She has dished 23 assists while committing two turnovers.
That's a pretty impressive number even for a seasoned veteran, but for a rookie to do that says something special about the six-foot Cloud, who has started the Mystics last eight games.
"That's a great stat in this league," Washington head coach Mike Thibault said. "I would say she's at a good B plus level and possibly an A-minus considering she's a rookie. She's been very, very good on the defensive end, which is probably an A-plus effort there. She's been very good and she's going to get better. I'd just like to see her be more aggressive on offense."
Cloud is averaging 3.5 points and 2.5 rebounds per game.
She has attempted five or more shots in a game three times and only once since the Mystics third game of the season.
Cloud's mindset has always been to pass first, second and third, which is a great thing because she has never cared at personal statistics. Though she did acknowledge that being a little more aggressive could make a difference down the stretch.
"I've always had that mentality of being a pass-first point guard," Cloud said. "Teams are beginning to play me for that so I do need to be more of a threat to open things up for my teammates."
Cloud hasn't been surprised by much this season. The only major difference from her four years on Hawk Hill at Saint Joseph's in Philadelphia has been the WNBA travel schedule.
There have been back-to-backs and life in many airports, including one in which Cloud had to dress like a baby wearing an oversized diaper as part of her rookie experience.
Fortunately she was able to share the experience with her Atlantic-10 and rookie counterpart Ally Mallot.
"That's been the hardest adjustment for me is coming off a game, traveling to another city and playing a game that night," Cloud said.
"I am getting used to these long road trips like three games in five days. That's been the hardest part for me. Getting used to playing so many games in a short period of time because you can go a week in college without playing."
Cloud and the Mystics still have one long road trip remaining, a key four-game jaunt to Seattle, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Atlanta over eight days beginning on Sunday, August 30.
However that's for later in the season as the Mystics are looking to rebound from Friday's setback.
They must find a way to control Connecticut guards Alex Bentley, who dropped a career-high 31 points and Jasmine Thomas, who supplied 15 points.
The Mystics fell behind 16-3 and trailed by as many as 15 points before rallying to tie the game at 62-62. The Sun finished the game on a 24-10 run to snap an eight-game losing streak against Eastern Conference opponents.
Emma Meesseman led the Mystics who scored 15 points.
A quartet of Mystics (Tierra Ruffin-Pratt, Tayler Hill, Ivory Latta and Bria Hartley) had nine points each. LaToya Sanders had eight rebounds and three blocked shots. Cloud handed out four assists in 19 minutes.
"There haven't been many surprises during this year for me," Cloud said. "My coaches and teammates have prepared me well. Being in the starting lineup has been an amazing feeling, but either way coming off the bench or starting, I just want to contribute in any way. We're a young team and we're doing well. Hopefully we keep it rolling."

Feeding 5 under $75....I DID IT AGAIN!
We had fun and enjoyed last week's $75 grocery week. I was sure that I wouldn't be able to do it again, but then ground beef went on sale for cheaper than we have seen it around here in a very long time!
My mother in law and I never miss a chance to stock up with meat goes on sale at our local market. These days, if you can find ground beef under $2, it is cause for a stock up. My mother in law literally buys an entire cart load of meat when we find a good sale. We had the poor little guys in the meat market hussling trying to get our orders ready. They act like they have never seen anyone buy an entire buggy full of meat before! In all honestly though, I love getting an excited phone call from her telling me that something is on sale. I so enjoy spending time with her getting the most for our shopping dollar.
SO....in celebration of our amazing deal, we are eating a meal with ground beef literally every night this week. Hey, if you can get it cheap, might as well eat cheap! There are a few more "junky" type recipes than I would normally include for a week, but these are the recipes that sounded good when I was planning. Here are the lists of meals that we are using this week. Some are self-explanatory...others have recipes.
Cheesy Eggs & Fruit
Toast & Jelly
Fried Bologna & Biscuits
Blueberry Grilled Cream Cheese
French Toast & Bacon
Pancakes & Fruit
Bean & Bacon Pasta
Leftover B&B Pasta
Grilled Cheese & Carrots
Cheese & Crackers & Fruit
Bologna Sandwiches & Fruit
Ravioli & Carrots
Egg Salad & Crackers
Carrots with Ranch x 2
String Cheese x 2
Apples & PB
Satsumas x 2
Stuffed Bell Peppers
Sloppy Joes & Chips
Meatloaf w/ Mashed Potatoes & Peas (meatloaf is from my freezer meals recipes)
Chili Frito Pies (chili for pies is from my freezer meals recipes)
Bowtie Lasagna
Pattie Melts
Beef Pot Pie
Anywhere that I just listed "fruit" we had Satsumas. A family member has several satsuma trees, so we get them for free. If you are not this fortunate, just get whatever fruit is on sale in your area or use fruit that you have canned or frozen yourself!
Here are recipes for anything that wasn't self-explanatory.....
Blueberry Grilled Cream Cheese Sandwiches (recipe for one sandwich)
two slices bread
1 Tbsp cream cheese
1 Tbsp powdered sugar
handful of fresh or frozen blueberries (i used frozen that had been collected over the summer)
Mix cream cheees and powdered sugar together & spread on one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle berries onto cream cheese and press slices together to make a sandwich. Use butter to lightly coat the outside of both sides of your sandwich. Grill in a pan or in a sandwich press until golden brown. Serve with additional powdered sugar topping if desired.
Bean & Bacon Pasta
1 family size can Campbell's Bean and Bacon Soup
1 box Rigatore Pasta
1 can full of water
Bring water and soup to a boil...add pasta & cook until pasta is tender. Simple as that! This makes a TON!! Plan on leftovers.
Stuffed Bell Peppers
1 lb ground beef
1/2 uncooked long grain white rice
1 c. water
6 green bell peppers
2 cans tomato sauce
1 Tbsp Worchestershire
1/4 tsp each garlic and onion powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
s&p to taste
Cheese to top if desired
Preheat oven to 350. In a small pot, cook the rice as directed. In a separate skillet, brown ground beef, then drain and set aside. Remove tops, stems, seeds, and membranes from the peppers, leaving a hollowed out shell. Mix together rice, beef, 1 can tomato sauce, worchestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper. Spoon an equal amount into each pepper. Mix together remaining can of sauce and Italian seasoning & pour a small amount over each pepper. Bake for 1 hour, basting with sauce every 15-20 minutes. If desired, top with shredded cheese.
Sloppy Joes (the easy peasy version)
1 small jar chili sauce
1 c. ketchup
2-3 Tbsp mustard
1 lb ground meat
Brown ground meat, seasoning if desired. Drain and return to the skillet. Over low to medium heat add chili sauce, ketchup, and mustard. Heat and stir until well blended. Serve on buns while still hot.
Bowtie Lasagna
1 lb ground chuck
1 box bowtie pasta
3 cups Spaghetti Sauce (I use my jarred homemade sauce)
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 c. Sour Cream
Prepare pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, brown ground meat in a skillet and drain. After noodles are cooked, drain them and drizzle with oil. Mix in your spaghetti sauce. Mix in the remaining ingredients and cook over low until warm and gooey...about 5 minutes.
Pattie Melts
1 stick butter
1 large onion, sliced
2 pounds ground beef
6 dashes worchestershire
s&p to taste
10 slices, swiss cheese
10 slices rye bread
In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Throw in the sliced onions and cook slowly for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and soft. In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt & pepper, and Worcestershire. Form into 4 patties. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties on both sides until totally done in the middle. Assemble patty melts this way: Slice of bread, slice of cheese, hamburger patty, 1/4 of the cooked onions, another slice of cheese, and another slice of bread. On a clean griddle or in a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter and grill the sandwiches over medium heat until golden brown. Remove the sandwiches and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Turn the sandwiches to the skillet, flipping them to the other side. Cook until golden brown and crisp, and until cheese is melted.
Beef Biscuit Pot Pie
1.5 lbs ground beef
1 onion, chopped
16 ounce jar Alfredo sauce
1 bag mixed, frozen vegetables
1 can biscuit dough
Grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 400. Brown ground meat, drain and return to skillet. Mix in onion, Alfredo, and vegetables and bring to a boil. Pour this mixture into a casserole dish. Top with biscuits and parmesan. Bake 15-18 minutes, or until biscuits are done.
Well...that is all I have for you this week. I hope you enjoyed the recipes and are able to keep it under budget at your house using these posts. Let me know how it goes for you! I love to hear from you.

London resident Rashan Charles died after being apprehended by police following a chase in east London. The footage of the chase appeared online Saturday, July 22 spurring a renewed conversation about police brutality in Great Britain.
#JusticeforRash popped up instantly as Twitter users began to demand answers for the death of the 20-year-old Charles. According to Metropolitan Police, Charles was followed by foot into a local shop after officers attempted to stop a car in Hackney, east London Saturday.
The CCTV footage made available to the public shows a man entering a shop and a police officer following behind. A uniformed officer blankets Charles back as he wrestles him down to the ground and handcuffs the man. Another white male enters the scene and puts a knee on Charles' back. It is not clear if this male in a black jacket is a police officer but the two continue to struggle with Charles until the end of the footage.
Twitter was quick to point out the racial undertones in the footage. Many users were passionately convinced the two white males were responsible for Charles' death.
A man died this morning. Video evidence shows he was restrained and choked. If we never saw the video- would we even know? #JusticeForRash— 🇯🇲Kattfish🇳🇬 (@KattZoldyck) July 23, 2017
I don't fucking care about what he did. Last I heard the death penalty was abolished in this country 53 fucking years ago #JusticeForRash— nimo💫 (@_r3volutionary) July 23, 2017
Here are the facts:— Miles (@milesjtp) July 22, 2017
- The police officer murdered him
- The police officer murdered him
- The police officer murdered him#JusticeForRash
If that was a white boy there'd be calls to change the police chief and complete uproar. Don't tell me it's not about race #justiceforrash— BLACK POWER (@cherishthedead) July 23, 2017

Police released a statement after the incident to clarify details of the case. They claim Charles swallowed an object during the arrest.
Simon Laurence, borough commander for Hackney said in a statement:
"A man, who was in the car, was pursued on foot before entering a shop where he was seen to be trying to swallow an object. He was then taken ill.He was taken to hospital by the London ambulance service where, sadly, he died later that morning. Our thoughts remain with family and friends. The IPCC (Independent Police Complaints Commission) has launched an independent investigation to establish what happened and has viewed the officers' body-worn video."
Here is CCTV footage of the chase:

Diego and she had planned a walk up the Mont-Royal mountain in an attempt to enjoy the last few days of warm weather. He had brought along his camera because he had promised her "to take good pictures for her Instagram."
It was sunny, the path was crowded with joggers, dog walkers and couples walking hand in hand. Diego and her walked with a good meter between them, as if they were strangers or worse, two people on a first date.
He kept looking between the sky and his camera, to change the settings. Every so often, he would stop, look through the camera and take a shot. She would realize two meters away that he wasn't next to her anymore.
As he took another picture of a kid drinking from a water fountain, she wondered if she was supposed to talk to him about Dublin. Maybe he would have some insight into it. Maybe he had gone abroad for work, for a semester, or a long vacation. Come to think of it, she knew virtually nothing about the man she roughly saw on a daily basis.
"Have you ever lived anywhere else?" she asked.
"I was born in Colombia actually. My family and I moved here when I was 10." He pointed at a narrow path that cut through the tiny forest the mountain harbored.
She led the way, holding her long skirt up, "that must have been a shock. Have you ever been back?"
He chuckled, "It was a bit of a shock. The winter is cold. And no, I haven't been back. I want to though."
She stopped and looked at him behind her shoulder, "You never truly get used to the cold." She turned around again, "look a clearing!" She ran toward it after stumbling a few times on hidden roots and branches. It was a miracle she hadn't face-planted.
"You? Have you been abroad?"
She was looking up at the trees when she heard a click. When she turned around, she saw his lens pointed at her. "I have yes. Greece several times. My grandparents are from there." She paused to think, closing her eyes in the process, "I did a couple of other European countries when I was over there too."
"I actually went to Switzerland to photograph at the Montreux Jazz Festival."
In awe, she looked up at him. "Serious? That's impressive. You need to show me some of your shots."
As he looked at a picture he had just taken on the camera's screen, he softly replied: "Ah you can find most of them in magazines if you want."
She got closer to him, close enough to whisper in his ear: "Hmm maybe, but I want to see the real thing."
Before she could run away, he pecked her on the lips. "You have no idea how real I can get."
She furrowed her eyebrows. It took her a couple of breaths to gather her thoughts to formulate a question, but by then, Diego had already walked away.
They had parted - as she had work from the Friday left to finish and he wanted to keep photographing - squirrels, she imagined, with a chuckle.
She walked through the still green park at the bottom of the mountain. Groups of young people lounged on blankets, day drinking and smoking joints. The ground reverberated rhythmically as the dancers jumped to the beat of the tam-tams and all other sorts of drums. A solo saxophone player added a joyful melody to the mêlée. On the further end, where the trees started growing but were still sparse, a rope walker had set up a rope between two trees.
She made her way through the crowd and crossed the street. The beat of the tam-tams were drowned out by screams of happy children as Ellie entered the Jeanne-Mance park. Parents watched their kids play, Ellie watched the parents. Some were as young as her, some younger. Quickening her pace, she soon fell on the teams playing soccer. Among the shuffle of feet and balls, the grunts and the hits against tennis rackets, she relaxed her pace.
Past the baseball field, by the picnic tables, two girls sat on a bench. One played the guitar while the other vocalized. Ellie marvelled at the girl's sweet yet powerful voice. "We just capture the moments, the moments of our lives..."
She paused and turned to look back on the typical Montreal scene she'd walked through. Was she ready to leave all of this, even just for a while?
"Until we feel so indifferent, like pictures until we die"
Would she ever find a better place? She knew leaving would change her - she had a feeling the move would provoke something deep inside her. Was she ready to walk away from the longest relationship she had ever had? Was she thinking too much about it?
"Oh we just capture the moments, like pretty butterflies..." (1)
The next morning, Ellie woke up late. She rushed through her routine to make sure she got her morning walk with Diego. Sunglasses perched on her nose, she flew out the door onto the street, just in time to catch a glimpse of him. When the door loudly shut behind her, she came to a full stop.
"Bon matin, Ellie!" The girl looked up: her neighbour, in the hipster version of business casual, put out a black garbage bag on the sidewalk. He waved at her, "J'espère qu'il va continuer à faire soleil!" (2)
She waved back, "ouais, moi aussi. Ils annoncent de la pluie le reste de la semaine!" She had climbed down the metallic stairs. By the time she reached the last step, there was a silent mutual understanding that the friendly neighbourly talk was over. "Il faut que j'y aille; je suis en retard! Bonne journée Marc!" (3)
She brought her mug to her lips out of reflex but stopped herself just in time. Her coffee was scalding in her travel mug. It was one of those that keeps all the heat for hours even though it wasn't labelled a thermos. Googly-eyed purple owls and flowers adorned the facade. Because of how cute it was, Ellie refused to use another one, even if it meant delaying her intake of the aromatic drink for hours.
A surprise as strong as coffee awaited her at the corner of the street.
"Hey Ellie," Diego's green eyes smirked at her.
"Hey Diego, what are... you… uhh… doing here?" She motioned at the busy street so they started walking down to the metro station.
"I heard Marc call you. So I waited for you to walk together to the metro."
"Oh, that's nice… of you… thanks." Her hand acted out the reflex before her brain kicked in: she drank coffee, burned her lips and spat it out on the ground.
"Holy shit, are you okay? Here," he reached into his black leather messenger bag and took out a pack of scented tissues.
With a trembling hand, she gratefully accepted it. "Thanks. If only the rest of my day goes like this, I'll be golden." She quickened her pace. "I'm so late."
She wasn't really. But she did make it to the office in record timing. And she was in her boss' office before he had even set foot in the building.
"Let's just be straight about one thing, I don't want to stay in a hotel the entire time I'm abroad. It'd be nice if it could feel like home. So could I find a room in an apartment?" She spoke in one breath while staring straight at him.
Hassett froze in place, "Jesus you scared me. Was that your goal, so you could get the room? Sure. Anything. Now please allow me to grab a coffee." He set his briefcase on the table before making a dash for the door.
Ellie followed him, "Great I wanted one as well! I didn't get much sleep last night."
They exchanged pleasantries on the way to the kitchen and while waiting for the machine to prepare their individual coffees from the cups. The modern kitchen was warm and already smelled like a mix of espresso, hazelnut and caramel.
"This isn't because you want to get rid of me in the office, right? I'll be back. I promise."
"Definitely not Elena. But who knows, maybe you'll find love and get married there."
Jason walked in at that moment, "who's getting married?"
Ellie's side eye was so bitter the triple shot of espresso Hassett had just made himself probably tasted like maple syrup on a cinnamon bun. She cleared her throat.
"No one. Yet." Hassett chuckled. "Ellie's going to Ireland! We're going for Guinness soon Jason. Get ready!" With that, and his mug, Hassett left the kitchen.
The machine finished brewing her americano but she was waiting for the last drop to fall in her mug. Jason poured soy milk into her mug then in his own mug with one dash of honey. The spoon clinked and echoed around the room.
"So, you took the job, eh," he spun the spoon a ridiculous amount of times.
"Yup… Looks like so far you're still the only one getting married. Enjoy your coffee Jason."

- "Good morning, Ellie!" - "I hope it stays sunny."
- "Yeah, me too. The forecast shows rain the rest of the week." - "I have to go, I'm late! Have a good day Marc!"

An Interview with John Sechrest
Founder, Seattle Angel Conference
When people hear the words angel investors, they think of an affluent individual who drops down from heaven and gives money to a person with a great idea. Or they think of the TV show Shark Tank and imagine angels acting more like the devil looking like Kevin O'Leary and waiting to pounce and steal your company in exchange for money, equity, and a signature. Neither is entirely true. John Sechrest is neither an angel nor the devil but he knows how to bring out the best in them. John started as a software engineer at HP, writing network code for calculators and later became the founder of PEAK Internet services. He spent 5 years as the Economic Development Director of Corvallis Oregon, where he founded the Willamette Angel Conference. He participated in the Oregon Angel Fund, a venture capital fund that brings together an extraordinary group of business and technology leaders for the benefit of local entrepreneurs. He is working to bring that model of community investing to Washington State.
What does angel investing have to do with economic development?
The local economic process depends on creating value for customers who are outside
the local economy, bringing outside dollars into the local economy. With local investment into small companies that serve a wider market, those companies are able to find a foothold and expand, creating local jobs and opportunities. These companies are also more likely to stay in a community if they've had local investors believe in their business.
Using angel investing conferences as a focus for discussion provides a way to draw out more potential startup efforts in the community. With the Internet and FedEx, a whole host of businesses are able to operate in any location. The key question is how to anchor them into your community so they decide to remain in their as they grow. One way to do that is to have members of your local community be your main investors.
In order to have good companies to invest in, the angel group will need to engage in supporting the development of local ecosystem resources like co-working spaces, accelerators and workshops that provide a framework for early stage companies.
What is angel investing?
In 1934, Congress declared that everyone in the U.S. could only buy "Registered Stocks", unless covered by an exemption. One exemption, Regulation D 506, provides for the private placement into unregistered stocks. For any small business trying to raise startup capital, the registered stock process is too much of a barrier, putting that path to capital out of reach for most rural businesses. There are several exemptions that are possible, but 92% of all angel investing is done via this one exemption of Reg D 506(b).
An angel investor is someone who is "Accredited" as defined by Reg D, and who uses their own money to invest in unregulated stocks. In any community, there is probably between 5% and 9% of community members who meet the income and net worth thresholds for this regulation.
Are there any examples of angel investing groups in rural communities?
With the use of the Angel Conference as a training mechanism, several rural cities in Oregon have been able to establish angel investing groups. Bend, Corvallis/Eugene, Medford and Ashland have been able to put angel groups in place. These conferences create a way to train new angel Investors in the local area. It is a small investment, aimed at teaching angel investing by doing a structured angel Investment, using an American Idol style process. This helps the companies get stronger and it helps the angel Investors gain perspective on the local market.
There are federally accredited community members in most communities who are not aware that they have this option and would not know where to start if they wanted to. Oregon has demonstrated there is capacity for smaller rural communities to sustain active angel investor groups. This provides a way to invest in the foundation of the next generation of companies in the community.
What does an angel investor look for when looking at companies?
When an angel investor is looking at a company, they are trying to balance the risk vs the returns. To that end, they most likely want to select high-growth companies to invest in. However, this may not be possible to sustain in the long run. So a new form of revenue redemption provides a way to invest in a much wider range of companies, including some that have a lower growth rate, yet strong margins. Small businesses may have margins, but do not have an ongoing increase in revenue and employees, where a growth company will be adding new people on a year over year basis.
Where can I learn more about angel investing?
The Angel Conference is a starting point for gathering people who are interested in the process. But here are some more resources.

Another pathway is to look at the book "Angel Investing" By David Rose. It is the foundation that we use for the Seattle Angel Conference.

A story is told in India of an Afghan soldier, who was once travelling with a Brahman. The Brahman, who was a mild and harmless man, careful not to injure the smallest of God's creation, was repeating to himself the word daya, which means «kindness».
The Afghan, who was a warrior and understood only the rough side of life, asked him what the word meant. The Brahman explained that the word was the same as rahm in his language.
«Ah!» he exclaimed. «I understand very well now what it means. I remember I was kind once in my life, for on the field of battle I saw a wounded man writhing in agony. I was touched and I put my dagger through him and ended his suffering.»

Yes! Well done to you and Phil, and JP as well. You're doing a great job!ReplyDelete
This is so sweet and amazing! Also my 6 year old son Michael was born at 36 weeks at 6 lbs. 8 oz. and was late in hitting all his milestones and he is about the sweetest most sensitive thing ever. I worry about him fitting in and making friends all the time but reading this gave me some reassurance that he will grow into his own person.ReplyDelete

Kongtrul Rinpoche suggested we pray to the guru, buddhas, and bodhisattvas and ask them to grant their blessings, "So I may give birth to the heart of sadness."
But what is a "heart of sadness"? Imagine one night you have a dream. Although it is a good dream, deep down you know that eventually you will have to wake up and it will be over. In life, too, sooner or later, whatever the state of our relationships, or our health, our jobs and every aspect of our lives, everything, absolutely everything, will change.
And the little bell ringing in the back of your head to remind you of this inevitability is what is called the "heart of sadness." Life, you realise, is a race against time, and you should never put off dharma practice until next year, next month, or tomorrow, because the future may never happen.
Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

Calchas Greek Mythology
Calchas was the son the Thestor of Megara and the grandson of Idmor. He was the prophet in the Ilias (War of Troy) written by Homeros. He was consulted by the Greeks when they felt helpless and needed advice. He was described by Homeros as the wisest one regarding the reading of bird movements in order to visualize the past, present and future.
Calchas predicted that the war would last for nine years and would end in the tenth year. He predicted this before the Greeks left for Troy. He deduced this from the fact that a couple of Greek soldiers saw a snake eating a bird and it's young.
In Aulis, he also predicted that Iphigenia (the daughter of Agamemnon) had to be sacrificed to the goddess Artemis. This had to be done in order for the Greeks to get an advantageous direction of the wind that would enable them to sail to Troy.
During the tenth year of the war, Calchas predicted that the fury of Apollo could only be diminished if Agamemnon gave his priestess Chryseis back to her father.
Calchas was asked for an advice every time by the Greek army at base near Troy, if there were important decisions that had to be made. Because of this, his influence became so great that even the vicious Odysseus was not able to compare himself against him.
After the Troy was conquered, he moved with Amphilochos (Son of Amphiaraos) away to Colophon. A contest in predictions was held in Colophon.
There, a prediction was made that said he would die if a prophet who is able to best him by his wisdom is found. They did a test to compare their powers and wisdom. Both predictors had to say the total number of figs hanging on a tree. Calchas estimated that a total of 10 thousand figs are on the tree.
Mopsos (the grandson of Tiresias) was claiming that there was one more fig on the tree. When the counting was done, Mopsos was the one who got it right. It's said that Calchas killed himself as he died because of sorrow.
Another version of the story says that the item of the contest was a pregnant
swine. Calchas was not able to guess how many piglet the swine would give birth to and what color these would be. But Mopsos was able to guess it.
A third version of the story says that Mopson made a prediction to Calchas while he was planting grapevines. He told him that he would never be able to taste the wine. Later, Calchas invited Mopsos to drink the first wine together. At that moment Mopsus repeated his prediction.
Calchas kept laughing and laughing. His laughter lasted for ever and as a result he was never able to taste his wine. After his death, Calchas was buried in Italy where he had an oracle.
Anybody who wanted to consult it had to sacrifice a black goat to him and had to sleep on its skin in the temple of Calchas. Then he was able to see what he wanted to know. It was told to him via the dream.

We had some pretty weird weather yesterday, I think we managed to tick all the boxes
- rain
- sleet
- snow
- thunder & lightning
- sunshine
- hail
Is there any I'm missing?
I'm sooo fed up with this weather now that I've started yearning for summery things. My pinterest is starting to fill up with summer patterns and these include lots of lovely crochet flowers. I made the above pansy headband tie-back using cotton and detailed it with a pearl. What do you think? I used this pattern. I'd love to see any that you make.

Why the Enterprise Cloud Is Central to Your Security Strategy
I am fortunate enough to spend a lot of my time speaking with the technology leaders of the planet's largest companies. Not surprisingly, given the multiple of security attacks and breaches that hit the news daily, a lot of these discussions focus on security.
I hear about the huge challenge of managing networks and datacenters that support hundreds of enterprise applications for HR, payroll, finance, legal and more from a multitude of vendors. Add to that complexity – perhaps an order of magnitude more – are the homegrown applications. The enterprise datacenter environment has an unbelievable amount of surface area that needs to be tracked and protected – APIs on the front door, customer integrations on the back door, on-ramps to import data, off-ramps to export data and so much more. There is palatable paranoia in the market today for CIOs and CISOs to not be the lead story on CNN or part of this visualization of the World's Biggest Data Breaches.
Sometime early in the conversation, usually after some cathartic venting, I bring up a point that startles many folks: Our cloud is safer for data than your own datacenter.
We know our service. The first point I tell technology leaders is that we know our service. We wrote it from the ground up and operate only one service. We operate tens of thousands of copies of ServiceNow instances and monitor the service in intimate detail. Given that we run a single service, finding unusual signals in our monitoring that warns us about security issues is relatively straightforward. Our surface area, as I described it above, is limited to our service and that makes our cloud inherently easier to secure than a typical enterprise datacenter with a multitude of applications and services. Further, our own ServiceNow IT department is a physically diverse and separate infrastructure from our service that we offer our customers – essentially ServiceNow the company is treated exactly like our other customers.
We build homogenous environments. We are fanatics about being homogenous. Every part of our infrastructure is built with the same architecture – regardless of geography or scale. That is, the same servers, operating system, virtual machines, databases, and so forth. Homogeneity means that we can track and find issues quickly, know when we see activity that requires investigation and then deploy remediation quickly to a limited set of configurations. An enterprise datacenter is often a heterogeneous environment and finding the right activities to track is complex and difficult, if at all possible. Once an issue is found, there are often a large number of combinations of environments to deploy fixes to as well and that can slow down remediation.
We patch regularly. Many of the recent public security events occurred because a piece of infrastructure was operational and unpatched. We patch regularly and track our progress against this patching process daily. Nothing goes unpatched for security issues in our environment for any extended period of time.
Some organizations decide to move to our cloud specifically as a security strategy. After a cyber event, the CIO of Oak Ridge National Labs looked to shore up security by enhancing centralization with ServiceNow.
Take the above points and combine them with the wealth of security features that our Service Automation Platform provides to secure your data and the operational rigor we employ operating our cloud in a secure manner, and you can see why our cloud is more secure than your data center.

Dr Wilberforce S. Dzisah, Rector of the Ghana Institute of Journalism, has urged graduates of the Institute to be innovative and dream big to become employers rather than employees in a competitive economy of work.
Dr Dzisah challenged the graduates to see themselves as the next generation of leaders and take advantage of what they have learnt and apply it in a productive way than waiting for government to find them jobs.
The Rector gave the advice in Accra at this year's graduation ceremony of the Institute, of which a total of 954 students graduated with Diploma and Degrees.
The event was on the theme: "Communication as a tool for Sustaining the Oil and Gas Industry".
He said the Institute has the expertise to play a critical role in the development of the oil and gas industry of the country.
"We have a reservoir of human resource in communication to assist in ensuring the development and sustenance of the industry.
If we permit those with the requisite knowledge to apply effective communication tools to deal with essential developmental issues, the country's oil and gas industry could become a model of efficiency for others to emulate," he added.
Dr Dzisah said the sustenance of the oil and gas industry would depend on the application of Information and Communication Technologies, and that there was the need to enhance all important communication channels to deal with both the upstream and downstream workers in the industry.
He said the theme was timely due to the recent ruling by the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea which had secured the country's hydrocarbon resources.
Dr Dzisah announced that as part of the Institute's strategic agenda, it had initiated the process of adding new programmes – Integrated Development Studies, Communication & Marketing and Advertising Communication to the undergraduate courses.
He said management had submitted the two programmes to the National Council for Tertiary Education for approval and subsequently for accreditation.
The GIJ Rector said the Institute is faced with staffing challenges, and that currently the total staff strength stands at 80 and the size of the faculty is 24 and explained that the size of the faculty had dwindled due to constraints in replacing staff that had retired, passed away or left the employment of the Institute.
He said the situation was impacting negatively on overall output since the faculty available is being overstretched. He, therefore, appealed to the Ministry of Finance to grant the school financial clearance to replace staff after the Public Services Commission approved their request in January 2017.
Dr Dzisah said the Institute's new site at North Dzorwulu is under construction, adding that the four-storey lecture and office complex had been roofed.
He stated that the GH¢4.9 million GETFund special allocation had been exhausted, with the project about 60 per cent complete.
Dr Ben Asante, the Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Gas, said the oil and gas industry is the bedrock for the country's industrialisation drive and that effective communication would build the synergies between industry, academia and government.
Dr Asante urged the graduates to be bold and learn from their mistakes, respect the views of others and not only base their reportage on perception but do thorough analysis of issues before disseminating their reports to the public.

Hey Everyone! Today I have a new layout share for The Cut Shoppe featuring 2 of the NEW released cut file designs 'Wreathed in Love' and 'Bountiful Blessings'. There's loads of fun new designs within The Cut Shoppe store, it was so hard to narrow down the choice to just the 2 I've used!
When I saw these wreath designs, I knew they would be perfect to enlarge and centre on a layout. I've made quite a few layouts similar to this, with enlarged cut files taking up a good chunk of the page, and they have all become my favourites. My new motto is GO LARGE or GO HOME haha
The Cocoa Vanilla Studio - Make a Wish collection was perfect to combine with the cut file designs and colours within the photo. It really makes the page bright and fun.
I've used the 'LOVE' wreath from the 'Wreathed in Love' set and enlarged it to about 10 inches in size. I backed it with vellum then machine stitched around the edges. I also stitched the word 'Love' on either side of the photo. Like on previous layouts, Ive popped if off the page with fun foam and foam tape. This gives the layout an extra layer of dimension, rather than being flat.
I added the pattern papers in a vertical strip to the centre of the background for some extra colour. The vellum on the cut file helps to soften the centre section of the page.
It's no secret that I LOVE ephemera packs and die cut shapes. They're perfect for layering together to create clusters of goodness.
I've used the 'Love' arrow from the 'Bountiful Blessings' cut file set, and coloured it up with some pink Gelatos and a water brush, then tucked it into this cluster at the bottom of the page
I've been trying my best to ensure all layouts are dated, at least with the month and year, and have some form of journalling to tell the story of the moment. That way in years to come, we know when and where the photo was taken, and why ;)
Thanks so much for stopping by today, thats all from me for now.
I hope this layout has inspired you to Go LARGE with your cut files!
Be sure to stop past The Cut Shoppe blog to see what the rest of the team has been up to recently, and check out all the new files IN STORE now!
Until next time, Happy Scrapping x

4 types of innovation and the problems they solve
Innovation is fundamentally about solving problems — and there are as many ways to innovate as there are types of problems to solve. There is no one "true" path to innovation.
We need to start treating innovation like other business disciplines — as a set of tools that are designed to accomplish specific objectives. Just as we wouldn't rely on a single marketing tactic or a single source of financing for the entire life of an organization, we need to build up a portfolio of innovation strategies designed for specific tasks.

Culture change can't be achieved through top-down mandate. It lives in the collective hearts and habits of people and their shared perception of "how things are done around here."

Positive emotions, like being happy, can help with particular kinds of thinking and particular kinds of work. But negative emotions can help us in the workplace to be more effective thinkers.

Recent reports say that Donald's first military raid got a Navy Seal and 8-year-old American child killed along with 30 other civilians. We also learned that Obama sat on the suggested raid for months because he was not sure the intelligence was good enough or that the raid was well-enough planned. He also thought it was way too risky.
But Fat Fingered Don was anxious to show the world how tough he was and almost instantly ordered the attack, which was less than successful. Now we learn that Don was too busy tweeting to even bother being in the Situation Room to monitor how the very serious and risky military operation was going–an operation he ordered directly.
Amid claims that Mr Trump ordered the operation in the early hours of Sunday morning without sufficient intelligence, ground support or back-up, it has emerged that the President was not in the Situation Room at all.
I'm sure there will be multiple Congressional investigations into this failed military operation that got innocent people and American military personnel needlessly killed.

"Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme."
~ Simon & Garfunkel
I was sitting in Downtown Branson traffic, one evening, and I noticed a spice shop that I had never seen, before. So, the next morning, I headed to "The Spice Agent", which is
located at 105 East Main Street, in Downtown Branson Missouri.
Their phone number is 417-544-1905, and "The Spice Agent" can also be found on facebook. For those who are familiar with Downtown Branson, it is located between "The Classy Flea" and Walgreens. They are open 7-days a week, until 6pm.
Even though I expected to find good spices, I planned to only buy a few things, because this type of shop is generally very expensive. I was shocked! These spices were no more than the McCormick spices that you find in the grocery store. Every spice is available in a tiny glass "French Canning Jar", with the wire-locking lid. I am going to have ChefOnWheels make me a little shelf for the Teardrop Kitchen/Galley, so I can display our camping spices… in those pretty little French Canning Jars. Most all of the spices were available in different sizes. Most were also available in small cellophane bags…perfect for refilling the little jars.
When you first walk into the store, it doesn't look like the store has much stock. However, I guess spices don't take up much room, because as it turned out, it was very well stocked. I found the usual spices, and I found spices that I had never tried… but had always wanted to try. There were also some that I was not familiar with. The owner told me that if I every wanted to try a new spice, he would certainly let me try it. He also said to call ahead, and ask for special blends. That would be awesome!
I was very impressed with the "Apothecary-style" packaging, throughout the store. These little jars will look great, in The Little Teardrop.
There were also different flavors of honey, lots of tea leaves, pepper grinders, and accessories. And, extracts! Glass bottles with squeeze dropper lids, of flavored extracts… along with a great selection of dried chilies and culinary mushrooms.
There is a huge selection of flavored sea salts and an extensive selection of red and black peppers. There were many I wanted to try. But that day, I just bought my usual pink Himalayan Sea Salt Crystals.
On the next visit, I decided to try the "Ghost Chile Sea Salt"… user beware.
Ghost Chiles are outrageously spicy!
On that first visit, I bought 8 little jars of spices, and 1 large jar of Himalayan Sea Salt Crystals… average price $3.50. My total bill was around $35…tax and everything. He also mentioned that when I got ready to dispose of my old spices, bag them up and bring them to him. He will dispose of them for me and give me a discount on my purchase, that day.
I am THRILLED with this store. Since that first visit (only a few months ago) I have returned to The Spice Agent, about 20-times. I even had to take ChefOnWheels to the store… and he was thrilled with the quality and selection of fresh spices. This is a store that we will both patronize, on a regular basis.

Washington vs Washington St Football Betting Tip – NCAAFootballPicks.com
Line: Washington St +6, 63.5
Kickoff: 3:30pm EST
Washington Huskies (10-1, 5-6 ATS at
Washington St Cougars (8-3 SU, 6-5 ATS)
Washington vs Washington St Football Betting Tip by NCAA Football Picks
The annual Apple Cup rivalry between Washington and Washington State has extra implications this year, as the winner of Friday's game will clinch the Pac-12 North title and earn a trip to the conference title game on Dec. 2nd. In recent years this has been a lopsided matchup as Washington has won the last 3 games by a combined margin of 59 points. However, this season appears to be a different scenario as both teams are ranked in the Top 25 and have big bowl aspirations. This is the 109th meeting between Washington and Washington State. The Huskies hold a 70-32-6 series edge.
Washington enters this game with one of the top offenses in college football, averaging 45 points per game and nearly 500 yards total offense. The Huskies are lead by QB Jake Browning (2,870 yards, 37 TD, 7 INT) who has controlled this offense and has the ability to move the ball downfield and dominate defenses.
The Huskies lone loss on the season came two weeks ago against a red hot USC team. In the loss, Browning had trouble moving the offense and was picked off twice. The Huskies did bounce back by beating ASU last weekend but Browning threw another pair of interceptions so it raises the question as to whether or not the sophomore QB is feeling the effects of a long season? Regardless, the Huskies usher in one of the top defensive units in the college football allowing only 18 PPG.
Washington State understands what is at stake with today's games and head coach Mike Leach hopes to turn the tide in favor of the Cougars.
The Cougars are coming off a loss to Colorado last weekend in what was a back and forth affair, finally resulting in a 38-24 losing effort. This game may have slipped from their hands as they jumped out to a 17-14 half time lead but Colorado had too much offense and the Cougars allowed over 600 yards of offense. Regardless, a win today and they will head to the Pac 12 Title game.
Washington State will be stepping onto the gridiron with their own potent offense. The Cougars are averaging 43 PPG on offense while racking up 513 yards per game. Washington State's QB Luke Falk (3,935 yards, 36 TD, 7 INT) has been a prolific passer all season long but he will be challenged by a capable Huskies' defense.
This game will be a must watch and while Washington has been the more dominant team this season, it will be tough for them to play on the road in this environment. This game should be a field goal spread and the +6 points is too much to pass up. Take the +6 points and look for the home team to keep this game tight.

My hands have been busy this week and the stack of books by my bedside has been steadily growing. My intention is to take time every Wednesday to share with you what I have been creating and the pages I have been turning. My hope is that this will open up a space to help build community here at less & more. I would love to hear about the books at your bedside and see the projects that have been keeping your hands busy!
I like to dive deeply into one type of project, leave it for a bit to pursue something else, then find my way back. I'll use this space to display whatever I'm working on each week.
Just a quick update this week. I spent so much of my creative energy up in the mountains of Vermont I have needed to spend significant time resting my tired creative muscles. I feel like I am recharging my batteries so I will be ready to take on my next big creative endeavor. I am planning on making a trip to the yarn store tomorrow, so I'm sure there will be something new and scrumptious on my hook next week.
I have been spending a bit of time this week folding a few cranes. I originally intended to fold my goal of one thousand peace cranes by my birthday this year. I know, it was an ambitious goal. I have let it go. My birthday came and went and I had only about one fifth of them completed. That's okay. I think I may realistically finish them by the holiday season later this year – I imagine them decorating our holiday tree in all their splendor. This crochet bug has bitten me hard and I am having fun letting it carry me away. My cranes are always in the background, patiently waiting for attention.
During a quick stop into Michael's this past week on an unrelated errand, I noticed that their origami paper was on clearance. I nabbed a ton of beautiful quality paper for next to nothing. It's so pretty it cannot be ignored. I've found a simple joy in letting my hands work the familiar folds and creases they know by heart. It is beginning to feel like a true act of meditation. I have been surprised to discover that whether I fold one or two or twenty in an evening I still feel the same sense of accomplishment. They are, each and every one, so very special.
As for reading, my husband finally convinced me to give his favorite author a try. Eric adores Neil Gaiman and has been suggesting his adult fiction to me for years. It's silly really, I have a history of resisting his cultural suggestions – I mean seriously, heels dug into the ground resisting them – then for no apparent reason I will open up, give one of his suggestions a whirl and then fall head-over-heels in love with them. This has happened to me with David Bowie, cornbread with syrup and milk and now, Neil Gaiman. I think deep down I don't like being told what I will or will not like. Like some punk kid I feel I have to arrive at my decision to participate in my own time. Oh, I have issues. Eric just chuckled and shook his head when he found me sitting in a bath that had turned cold with my nose stuck in American Gods a few nights ago. I'm really, really enjoying it – it's a page turner for sure. It definitely isn't for everyone, but it is satisfying the dark side that still resides within me, somewhere deep down. It's official. I'm a fan. I even follow him on Twitter (@neilhimself). Geesh.
My mind quiets and my well fills when I am engaged with a good book or when my hands are busy making something beautiful. If you feel moved to share what you have been up to, please leave a link in the comments section so we can revel in each other's creative pursuits. And maybe even find a couple of books to add to the stack.
