It's a few hours to probably one of Kenya's greatest football battles- actually dragging history into the whole mix; this is the greatest football rivalry of all time in this part of the world. Just like expected before any derby day- the whole city would be abuzz with both sets of fans taunting each other, the online streets littered with pre-match debris and the media wanting to lead from the front- would be putting their best foot forward as they seek to market this footballing spectacle like they've never done before.
It's been over 40 years since the first Nairobi Derby was played, much has taken place since then and with both teams sharing such a rich history between them littered with titles and all sorts of honours it's shocking that this year's event is treated so 'casually'.
I'm not going to try and compare this year's second leg of the Nairobi Derby to any other derby but it's right to note that the 'level of pre-match buzz' leading to this tie has been such a low key affair.
Hooliganism and Security
We should all not pretend to lie about this- the footballing mood in the nation has been in the recent past largely painted by acts of hooliganism that has further shoved away fans interests from this type of match.
While we might all want to blame the fans for the acts of hooliganism, it's also right to note the clubs don't seem to have done lot's to calm the situation. While Gor Mahia had a case to answer the SSMB (The body mandated with the running of our stadiums)- AFC Leopards fans showed their other side in the recent KPL U19 Semi match when they attacked the referee at the stroke of full time.
Away from the home clubs duty of also offering security- fans can no longer take their own security for granted. While the league officials might go on TV and announce (what number of police is on offer), it's a shame that the police force doesn't seem to properly handle such situations. Perfect case example would be teargasing the crowd, something that would lead to more injuries rather than forming a human shield between the set of fans to properly monitor the situation.
A certain trend too seems to be cropping up where fans have lost their cars from the parking lot and even others dragged away from the stadium (journalists included) by club stewards for what they term (juju) against their teams. While this might have only been exhibited in a few matches, if the trend is not halted soon; might soon blow up to be one large reason for fan disquiet in our stadiums.
Team Forms
Back to the football pitch- the two clubs have had sort of contrasting fortunes. While Gor Mahia seems to be running away with the title- AFC Leopards seem to be almost catching up but as last weekend's match against City Stars shown: there's still some work to be done.
Gor Mahia seems to have found their rhythm again after haplessly devouring Muhoroni Youth but it should be noted Muhoroni Youth at the bottom of the table seems to be struggling to survive while the other pack (Tusker, Thika) that would have been offering some good opposition, seems to be falling off the way.
While a win for AFC Leopards might not change the situation at the top of the table where Gor lead the second placed team with a margin of seven points- it's good to note AFC Leopards (currently 5th) would have put themselves in a decent position (2nd) to try and chase for the title hoping Gor Mahia and other teams falter along the way.
Gor Mahia would love to put themselves in a position where they are (close to unreachable) with a win. Last year's heartbreak at the last day of the season wouldn't be a good feat to repeat and with the city's bragging rights and three points in the offing- AFC Leopards fans should hope their team put their best foot forward.
A loss for either teams wouldn't be anything to smile about especially AFC Leopards who would fall further down the table to an unprecedented (7th or 8th) depending on other league fixtures that will be played next week. Gor Mahia's 7 point gap at the top would still cushion their safety but slightly distort their comfort.
While some of us may want to point a finger at the media for not doing enough to hype this derby to extreme levels as in the past, its right to note the whole hullabaloo that has surrounded this league fixture has made it out rightly difficult to do so.
It's actually up to just three four day ago that the venue was determined and even gate charges released. It's then difficult for the media with little info to make a whole meal out of it.
Lot's still needs to be done in subsequent derbies to make this a whole huge and exciting event- from the sponsors of both sides, the league administration, the clubs themselves (security and hooliganism issues) and lastly the media.
While the pre-match hype may have not been there, We're here- let's enjoy this. On twitter watch out for the trends #SSKPL #NairobiDerby #GorLive #MashemejiDerby #ShemejiDerby, Talk about Gor Mahia, talk about AFC Leopards-This should be beautiful. Enjoy the atmosphere.

Did a show tonight at the Kah-Nee-Ta Resort and Casino in Warm Springs Oregon. If you need directions, just go to the middle of Oregon and turn left when you see a cow in the road. Kah-Nee-Ta is pronounced like it's the name of a white trash kid. As in "Kahneeta Jackson get your ass back in the trailer!" I guess Kahneeta actually sounds more like a black girls name, but I hesitated to mention that because I have a lot of white guilt. Indian Casino's tend to bring that out in me. Just not enough to call them Native American Casino's. Not a lot of customers at the Indigenous People's Casino Resort this week. I was told it's their "off season." Yeah I didn't know Warm Springs was ever "in season" either. Warm Springs is a great place to go when you want to keep your vacation a secret. Here's the view from the back of the room at showtime.
I think we ended up with 12 people by the end, which is the perfect number because it was like performing for a sequestered jury. No one got to watch TV, no one could talk, and no one could leave. They were trapped. I think they ended up having an OK time, possibly against their will. About 35 minutes into my scheduled 60 the batteries died on the wireless microphone I was using. I think that was my fault. I'd been silently asking myself all night "How could this gig get any worse?" and the mic decided to quit working in order to answer that question. While the emcee/sound guy/bartender/manager/karaoke host scrambled to find some new batteries a guy from the crowd yelled out "If the microphone is broken can we leave now?" I said "You fucking wish sir." Sadly, it was my biggest laugh of the night.

A day later than planned. Due to car trouble. Serious car trouble. The car trouble that shuts the car down in the middle of the bleeping highway. The car trouble that forces you to spend the night in a middle-of-nowhere German town while you're waiting for a rental car.
Well...at least I'm home now. :)

Businesses should 'go with the flow' and organize their projects and work plans according to when their employees are most productive. This applies to the time during the day, but it also applies to the days throughout the week.
Most people assume that productivity steadily rises from a slow trough on Mondays and Tuesdays to peak on Thursday or even Friday.
Surveys of employees and businesses have produced some surprising results. These surveys have also provided some great tips for increasing productivity throughout the working week and during each day. This article discusses the findings and offers advice on how to boost your productivity.Source: By Mikael Häggström [Public Domain], via Wikimedia Commons
A research study of more than 300 resource managers and their staff found that Mondays and Tuesdays were the most productive days of the week for most employees.
The surveys results showed that:
There are a number of things that can be done to iron out the peaks and troughs of daily performance that were derived from interviewing staff and managers:
Encourage workers and managers to create a to-do list for the day. Keep the list short and stop 'expander job' lists by keeping a fixed job list - say 5 or 10 jobs. The idea is that new jobs cannot be added unless an existing one is dropped. If the list is too long, prioritize the jobs, as long, ever-growing lists builds frustration as there is no progress. Having shorter, more reasonable lists allows room for unexpected projects and setbacks. This keeps employees more satisfied and more productive.
Theoretically, multitasking is promoted as an ideal way to increase productivity. many companies teach their workers how to manage multiple tasks at once. The reality is that it is a killer of productivity and motivation. It often leads to oversights and errors as people rush and try to do too many things at the same time. It is better to have a list and to work through each one in turn, hiding the others until the first one is completed. The ideal to do list is not a list at all. It is a pile of 'stick-it' notes in a stack. At the start of the day write all the things you have to do on separate notes (5-10 limit). Then organize them into a stack in priority order. The advantage of this is that you only see the current job on top. You know you have planned for the others as they are in the stack.
Employees will do a better job when given jobs at the times they are the most productive. Every employee is different and you need to understand how and when they do their best work.
Discuss these things with your staff to identify the things that waste most of their time and take steps to control them. This may mean making suggestions that meetings and email checking should only be done after 2-00 PM each day.
There are a wide range of tools available to help people manage their work and time and to help them be more productive.

As can be seen from my walk today, the universe couldn't give two hoots that our terror threat level has been raised to critical. Not that this raise in concern is without justification.
Summer is finally here and there is an understandably low mood after the Manchester bombing. Not that the sun cares. From natures perspective it's a glorious day, completely conflicting with the moods of most people this morning. I choose to highlight this with an aim to change the myth that the universe cares about us. Depressing? I don't believe so. The less we feel we are prioritised by the universe, we may start to value ourselves a little more.
As I yanked open the door last night as I have everyday for the past four years, I almost pulled my shoulder out. It didn't open. The door leading to the back office at work is usually unlocked as I have already input a code to get there. This time I needed to put a second code in to get to the office. With the UK's terror threat being raised to 'Critical', the company I work for had strict measures in place to ensure we adhered to this. It's fascinating how fast the measures are in place, it must have been an hour after the announcement last night. 21st century communication is amazing, we receive such updates instantaneously, something that would have taken months or even years to pass on between communities centuries ago and on such a large scale.
I noticed more of a police presence yesterday and the sound of a police helicopter flying overhead for a period of time. Whether or not this is another measure or a separate incident, I do not know. Waking up the next morning, I feel two forces at work. One of beautiful nature, treating me to glorious sunshine and a very relaxed state of mind. The other, a conscious threat of human depravity, a constant reminder that another attack may be imminent.
What a weird conflict of feelings in such a strange world.

Day 362 – December 28
God with us
"Where shall I go from your Spirit, Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!"
Psalm 139:6-7
Running from God isn't something we can actually do. In actuality, what we are doing is running from our responsibilities or the hand we were dealt, and we throw God into the mix. God cannot leave us. If He did, He would go against His own word, which is impossible! God is always with us. We just are often unaware of His presence which causes us to lose focus on what really matters. We focus on what we perceive as things going poorly.
Whenever we face difficulties, we have a few options. Run to fix the problem or stand and trust the Lord. Trusting the Lord doesn't mean we are idle. It means we move when He says move and go at the pace He assigns for us to go. If we fail to recognize and focus on the goodness of God in our lives, we will begin to see breakdowns in our lives even when we do the right thing. Psalm 139 is an incredible chapter. David is crying out to God to search and know His heart and is calling for intimacy. As David reflects on the goodness of God, he says in verse 5, "You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me." So when I'm aware of Him in my life I realize He's already been where I'm going and He's always got my back! He's near enough always to put His hand on my head and guides my every move until I resist. Don't try to run from your problems. Run to your savior and watch Him work today!
We're more than conquerors in Christ.
-Pastor Mark

Nearly half of IFAs have reduced their pension focus as a result of falling margins from stakeholder, according to Money Marketing and Virgin One's State of the IFA Nation survey.
IFAs also fear the kitemark on stakeholder will lead to widespread misbuying as people will rely on the Government's stamp of approval when making their pension arrangements.
The poll of 280 IFAs found that 48 per cent of IFAs have done less pension business following the introduction of stakeholder.
The survey reveals that at a time when the Government is at pains to encourage pension provision, IFAs are pulling out of advising on pensions because of the squeeze on margins.
IFAs say they are more likely to focus on investment business, with 85 per cent saying this was most likely to replace pension business. Mortgages came next with 47 per cent, followed by tax planning and long-term care, both on 39 per cent, with health insurance last at 25 per cent.
Seventy-three per cent of IFAs believe stakeholder's kitemark will make consumers believe that buying a stakeholder is a simple decision and will end up with an unsuitable product.
Some IFAs, however, remain very optimistic about the pension market, saying if IFA firms have invested in good systems then pensions is a growing market.
IFAs also say they want one set of designatory letters after their names to drain the alphabet soup that currently exists, with 88 per cent supporting the move to produce one standard qualification.
Roberts Clark director Ashley Clark says: "There is a massive stakeholder misbuying risk in choosing the wrong provider and choosing the wrong funds and there is a suitability risk. If you cannot get access to good quality advice, you may end up missing out on other more appropriate products."

Scrapped 457 visa: 'Putting Australians first'
Changes to the rules around skilled migrants and residency are causing potentially serious issues for Australian businesses. Chris Sheedy investigates.
When Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced major changes to the 457 visa system in April, some said it was the result of pressure from right-wing political groups such as Pauline Hanson's One Nation. Others claimed it reflected politics around the globe, including in the US and UK.
Mr Turnbull said the purpose of the policy change was to ensure subclass 457 visas were no longer considered "passports to jobs that could and should go to Australians". In other words, his party was simply putting Australians first.
What changed?
The previous 457 visa system allowed a foreign skilled worker to stay in Australia for up to four years then, at the end of the four years, to apply for permanent residency. The new system generally allows only a two-year temporary visa without a permanent residency sweetener at the end of the period.
Some of the changes were immediate, although they do not affect the 95,000 skilled migrants, including accountants, already holding 457 visas. Other changes will be introduced in the new financial year, with the new system completely operational by March 2018.
How has business reacted to the news?
The decision to restrict foreign talent has been perceived as a negative one by many in the business world. In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH), Chief Executive of Sydney start-up precinct Lighthouse, Annie Parker (who herself came to Australia on a 457 visa from the UK), said start-ups and SMEs, in particular, will suffer.
"The two-year visa doesn't qualify you to apply for permanent residency afterwards and to attract really great talent I don't think that's good enough," said Annie.
"My worry is that something that was meant to appeal maybe to the nationalist part of the Australian government has backfired into impacting an area of early-stage innovation and growth that can genuinely help the Australian economy in the long term."
These changes will be felt by businesses and other entities across Australia.
What's on the occupations list?
The list of occupations that can be sponsored for what will now be known as a TSS (Temporary Skills Shortage) visa has been reduced from 651 to 435, with 24 of these restricted to regional Australia.
Occupations have been split into a short-term list and a medium to long-term list. Those on the short-term list can only apply for a two-year visa, but those on the medium and long-term list may still be eligible for a four-year visa and a permanent residence pathway after three years.
These changes will be felt by businesses and other entities across Australia, many of which commonly look offshore to fill roles. From hairdressers to church parishes (Catholic churches famously suffer from a shortage of local priests, for instance), many entities rely on foreign talent.
An 'over-supply' of Oz accountants?
Traditionally, the number of accountants entering the country via the skilled migrant scheme made up a large percentage of all 457 visa entrants.
"According to the government data, accountants are in the top 15 nominated occupations for 457 visa holders, with 270 visas granted to accountants in three months from July to September last year alone," said a recent report in the Australian Financial Review.
The perceived over-supply of accountants is partly because traditional accounting firms are actively employing specialists from other professions.
An argument has now emerged around why, after the policy changes, accountants (general) and various types of auditors have remained on the medium to long-term skilled migrant list.
Evidence suggests that there is an over-supply of accountants in Australia. Indeed, three years ago, the Department of Employment asked for accounting to be removed from the Skilled Occupation List for migrants.
What does this mean for accounting in the future?
The perceived over-supply of accountants is partly because traditional accounting firms are actively employing specialists from other professions. As they pivot towards full-service offerings, these firms actively seek experts in IT, data analytics, law, psychology and more.
The 'accountant (general)' occupation on the list excludes clerical and bookkeeping positions. It also does not allow for the visa to be awarded for a position in a business with annual turnover of less than $1 million or with fewer than five staff.
Both Chartered Accountants ANZ (CAANZ) and the Institute of Public Accountants (IPA) support the continued inclusion of accountants on the list.
Accounting jobs are set to increase by over 10,000 annually over the coming years, they say. And if they are partly staffed by people from a broad variety of cultural backgrounds, accounting firms and other businesses will be better able to survive and thrive in an increasingly global marketplace.

Most people who seek to treat chronic pain without medication are focused on one of three problems. First, they feel that the pain medication is just masking their issue, and they want to pursue true healing. Secondly, pain medication has not been as effective at pain management as they hoped for. Lastly, people want to treat chronic pain without medication because the side effects of pain management drugs are too severe. Whatever your reasons, there are many options to choose from as you explore what can heal and support you. Start by embracing a holistic approach, moving on to a specific treatment plan, and what a medication-free plan of treatment will look like for you.
Embrace a holistic approach
Pain medication is a very direct way of treating pain. When it fails, it can feel like there aren't a lot of other options for improvement. Treating chronic pain without medication focuses on a holistic approach. There could be more than one reason why you're hurting. A lot of issues in your life have combined to create a perfect storm of chronic pain. You don't have to live that way! The first step towards easing your pain may be to do a complete overview of your health. By working on other areas, you could eliminate some of the supporting factors for your chronic pain.
Massage works wonders
Getting a massage is one of the first things recommended to treat chronic pain. For example, headaches can commonly be caused by a neck injury. Once you have frequent headaches, the stress and the fear raises levels of some hormones in your blood, and these hormones in turn can cause pain and tightness in the muscles. Even simple muscle tension can give you a severe headache. A massage therapist can target the site of your injury with a deep tissue massage. This increases blood flow to the injury and works to keep it supple and flexible. At the same time, a general massage reduces tension and inflammation in your body. Your stress hormones are lowered, reducing your muscle tension and eliminating the supporting causes of chronic headaches. Massage is popular in holistic approaches to pain management.
Acupuncture can be used for pain
Acupuncture has a long history of use with great effect. While the mystical explanations comfort some and make others uneasy, the scientific basis of acupuncture is simple. Many problems, from chronic pain to frequent digestion problems and more, are caused by certain nerves firing even when they're not stimulated. This trains your brain to expect input from these nerves, and thus you experience severe discomfort for essentially no real reason. Acupuncture works to reset your nervous system. The needles provide stimulation to your nerves, allowing them to react to something real and then removing the stimulation, allowing them to stop signalling.
When you're dealing with a chronic issue, you need a chronic solution. When you've been in persistent pain, it will take a while to prevent that pain. Too many people stop using holistic approaches because they don't see improvement fast enough. It was a long road to get to chronic pain. Whatever treatments, from massage to acupuncture and beyond, will need some time to work. Seek improvement day to day, and you'll reach your ultimate goal, to treat chronic pain without medication, in time.This site is for informational and educational purposes only.

Station name: Sanctuary Station One
Current Owners: The Alliance of Gentlemen
Previous Owners: The WD Corporation
Station Status: Rundown, basically falling apart.
The station can be located by any WD Corporation ships as they are all linked to the station. The Alliance are able to exploit this link and locate the station using any of their ships.
The Alliance have attempted to move the station but it is geographically located to a point in space.
It was originally build for WD members to rest and take a break, they were also able to take out missions and restock/trade.
It is now used as target practise by the Alliance and basic black market trading.
Previously a Main WD Corporation space station but after the war, resources and funds were too stretched to keep the massive station running. They took the decision to sell parts of the station to Third parties such as the Alliance of gentlemen.
The parts bought by the Alliance of gentlemen have turned into a state of disrepair. The Alliance never wanted to use the station but buy it just to spite the once all power WD Corporation.
The WD Corporation cannot stand to watch as their once mighty station is left to die and they want nothing more than to occupy the colossal station once again by any means. Could conflict be on the horizon...
Please tell me what you think...

Kadner: A manufacturing strategy that would protect U.S. jobs
Phil Kadner
You say you want congressmen to work together across party lines for the good of the country.
And you say you want job creation.
Well, U.S. Reps. Dan Lipinski (D-3rd) and Adam Kinzinger (R-11th) got together to co-sponsor a bill that seems to do all of that.
The measure (HR 5865) is called the American Manufacturing Competitiveness Act of 2012. Its goal is to create a 15-member national panel of experts who would formulate strategy to promote "growth, sustainability and competitiveness" for U.S. manufacturing.
Lipinski calls it a "linchpin" to protect the middle-class worker.
The president would appoint five members of the board (the U.S. secretary of commerce, two governors from different political parties, and two other members who have served in the executive branch of government).
Ten members would be appointed from the private sector by Democratic and Republican leaders in the House and the Senate. They would have to come from the business world (with some specific criteria for businesses with fewer than 100 employees), labor organizations, research and development, academia, finance and the defense industry, among others.
Hearings would be held on such issues as what federal regulations are outdated and should be replaced, what new regulations might be needed to encourage manufacturing growth, what the U.S. needs to do to compete with foreign governments, what new industries deserve government support and what workforce skills need refining.
The board would prepare a report for the president that would contain recommendations and ways of implementing them. It would be published on the Internet for public access.
In a conference call, Lipinski and Kinzinger said their goal is to create and preserve manufacturing jobs and make sure the U.S. has a national strategy to do that. They congratulated each other for putting politics aside for the good of the country and emphasized the need for good-paying jobs for Americans who may not be suited for an executive office.
From what I can tell, the concept has the support of both business and labor.
Scott Paul, executive director of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, a partnership formed by the country's leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers Union, testified in support of the bill.
In fact, a bill sponsored by Lipinski and almost identical in language was so popular it passed the House in 2010 by a 378 to 49 vote. And then went nowhere. The Senate never called the bill for a vote.
On Wednesday, the new measure creating an American manufacturing board passed the House 339 to 77, with nearly equal support among Democrats and Republicans.
Pretty incredible in the current political climate I would say. Yet no one seems to know why the Democratic-controlled Senate isn't enthusiastic.
Lipinski said the Senate was busy in 2010 with a lot of other stuff and blamed himself for not working closely enough with Senate leaders. This time, he's working with U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) and his staff.
That seemed strange to me because U.S. Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) is not only a member of Lipinski's political party but the Senate majority whip. I called Durbin's office twice, seeking comment about the bill, but am still waiting to hear what the senator's position is on the measure.
Kinzinger and Lipinski noted that Americans think Democrats and Republicans in Congress don't even talk to each other these days. They contend that their bill demonstrates that political differences can be put aside for the good of the country.
Kinzinger and Lipinski may be from different political parties, but they are not quite polar opposites.
Lipinski is considered by some to be one of the most conservative Democrats in the House. As for Kinzinger, he's not a Tea Party conservative but has become a national voice for the right wing of the GOP.
I'm surprised Kinzinger would back a bill that would create a new bureaucracy and possibly promulgate new regulations governing private enterprise.
But he said he believes a national strategy is needed to defend the U.S. from foreign governments who are peeling off American jobs and industrial plants and stealing intellectual property. Kinzinger believes this is a matter of national security.
So do I. A comprehensive manufacturing strategy is as important as having a military plan to protect this country from attack by foreign enemies.
If Durbin or other Senate Democrats have a better idea, I would like to hear it.

9 Ways to Prepare Before Starting Your Own Business
Starting your own business can be a scary process, especially if it's your first time attempting to do it. It takes bravery, brains, and many hours of hard work to make it all happen. So, in order to do it right and succeed, you have to educate yourself in a lot of different. Here is a list of things you should know before starting your own business.
Create an Original Name
Every business should have an interesting and catchy name. To dodge lawsuits from other businesses that believe that you stole their name or logo, make sure you come up with something that hasn't been used before. Also, make sure you use an original trademark for your company name since failure to properly obtain one could put you at risk too.
Even though it sounds easy, these are two things that shouldn't be taken lightly. It can happen that someone already used the name that you have in mind for a business that is closed or even filed but never used the trademark you think is original. If you want to establish your business properly, make sure to avoid copyright problems.
Get to Know the Law
Another very important thing is to understand what licenses, regulations, and taxes you will need to obtain and pay to get everything going right. You can do some research on your own, but it is always a better idea to hire a lawyer who can help you understand what needs to be done and what you're getting yourself into.
Choose Your Partner Carefully
It's one thing to partner up with someone because it will help you grow, but it's a whole other thing to do it just because it's convenient. Choosing the wrong and unreliable partner will eventually drive you crazy and there is a chance you'll start hating the business you worked so hard for.
Get Professional Help
Even though at first it may look like you can do it all by yourself, it's probably a better idea to hire professional help for some tasks. Every business needs to be well planned and organized, so it's a good idea to hire professional business plan writers and assistants. Starting a business is already hard enough, so hiring help will ease your way to success.
Learn to Spend Money
Starting a business means that you will have to invest a great amount of money. It is very important to learn how to spend money, so you don't find yourself in a tough personal financial situation. Make sure to balance your finances so both your business and personal sides are square.
Learn to Relax
Every job is stressful, and it is very important to find a way to relax. Stress affects your thoughts and feelings, as well as your body and behavior. Starting a business requires discipline and a strong will, so being stressed out will only make the whole experience even harder. Always find time to relax, so your new project doesn't take a toll on your health.
Invest in Your Employees
Treat your employees well. Workers who feel valued perform much better at work and are more loyal. Compensate their hard work and don't forget to listen to their needs. They play a big role in your business, so make their work environment as pleasant as possible.
Be Prepared for any Outcome
The biggest fear of every entrepreneur is failure. However, this should not stop you from doing what you love because every failure helps the person grow. The more you keep your feet on the ground, the lesser the chance that you'll be disappointed if things don't work out like you wanted them to. Everyone hates failure, but it's not the reason to give up on everything you worked hard for. Give it time, cope with failure and move on.
Customers Matter
There is no business if there are no customers. Do a good job, be reliable, treat them with respect and you will increase their satisfaction. If the customer is satisfied, the chances of them contacting you again are much higher.

And just like that we are in the 20's! I can't believe you will be 2 in only 4 months! I am going to get started on your birthday party planning but I'm struggling with what the theme should be. Of course you love your Thomas choo choos, but you have really started loving Sesame Street and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood too. I need to make a decision soon so we'll see what you end up with!
You are still talking like crazy and adding more and more words. You try and repeat what we say and it's so cool to hear your little voice. Your list keeps growing and I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but here is your word list: Dada, Mama, car, choo choo, ball, shoe, this, yeah, bye bye, purple, blue, touchdown, dog, cat, gone, done, cracker, pretty, strawberry, corn, uh oh, duck, night night, Santa, ho ho ho, Papa, two, three, four, five, wow, gorilla, giraffe, horse, fishy, frog, ta ta (Thomas), baby, track, cheese, cookie, water, pasta, paci, balloon, hi, cousins, pee pee, poo poo.
About those last two new words, in the past two weeks you have become aware of your bodily functions. Most of the time you tell us after you've gone but you actually went poo poo on the potty for the first time last week! We haven't started potty training or anything yet but I do think I'm going to get you a potty so we have it when you seem 100% ready. I can't say I would mind not having to change diapers anymore!
I think my favorite word you started saying this month is "cheese." You finally say cheese and look at the camera when I take your picture. It is the cutest thing. As soon as my camera comes out you start saying, "cheese, cheese, cheese!"
In addition to all the new words you've been saying, you are also doing amazingly well learning your ABC's. You are obsessed with the letter puzzle we got you and you officially know the alphabet! You can say almost all of the letters and you know all 26 letters by sight if we ask you where they are on the puzzle or to find a letter on the floor and put it in the puzzle. I can't believe you know your ABC's, you are so smart! You have also been learning your letters watching Sesame Street too. This video is your favorite thing ever right now and you want to watch it every day. You dance around and say the letters and it is the cutest thing ever! You love when Daddy and I sing you the ABC song too. We sing it every night before you go bed at least twice.
You never stop moving these days and running seems to be your only speed. We tell you to stop running in the house at least 20 times a day! You are trying so hard to jump and it is the funniest thing to watch. You crouch down like you are going to spring up with some huge jump and instead you leap forward into the floor on your face, HA! This Winter really stinks because we haven't been able to be outside at all. I think we are going to have to start making weekly trips to the Children's Museum or one of the indoor play places so we can get all of that energy out! Spring can not come soon enough!
We have managed to have some fun outside in the snow though. You finally embraced the snow and had so much fun playing in it!
Another fun new thing you are doing is not eating in your high chair anymore! We got you a new big boy table at Ikea and you love it! You've been eating meals, doing crafts and even just playing there. We are going to put the high chair away for good now.
The one rough thing this month has been your teeth. You have been cutting 4 canine teeth at the same time! 3 of them are finally through and we have one bottom one to go. You had some cranky days but luckily it didn't effect your sleeping. We just have 4 molars left and then we are done with this teething business!
A fun adventure we had this month was your first visit to the Shedd Aquarium. You absolutely loved it! You had so much fun running around and looking at all of the fish swimming in the tanks. You were saying, "wow, fishy, wow," the whole time.
Our favorite thing this month though has been celebrating Christmas with you. It was so much fun seeing your face light up at all of the different things we did this month. You loved the Christmas tree, lights, your train, Christmas book countdown, crafts, cookie decorating and of course presents! It's our favorite time of year and we just love doing so many special things and creating traditions with you.
Other stat updates: Your weight is right at 29 pounds and you are officially 37 inches tall. You are up to 16 teeth, including 4 molars. You are pretty much wearing all 2T clothes. You have been eating really well lately so no complaints there. One really big change is that you are transitioning to one nap a day. You've been going down now after lunch and sleeping for 2 - 3 hours. You go to bed around 6:30 and sleep at least 12 hours, usually waking up around 7 in the morning. We continue to be thankful for your amazing sleeping abilities!
Ethan, you are the best part of our day and we love you so much. It was wonderful having my 17 day break from work to be able to spend all day, every day with you. You are so much fun right now and we just laugh and laugh at your funny personality. We are constantly amazed at how quick you learn things and you're desire to figure out the world around you. I can't wait to see what next month will bring. We love you so much little man!

We've made it to Santander, our "hop-off" point along the Spanish coast, and are waiting for a weather window to head to Port Medoc in France, a 36-hour crossing. The weather, however, seems intent on keeping us a while longer with a series of depressions blasting up from the Atlantic. Here in our little corner, however, the weather is a wonderful 25 C and sunny, and it finally feels like summer. But we're not keen on sitting in a marina for a week or more, and we've already taken all the local excursions we care to (including an overnight trip into the Picos de Europa).
We've decided to keep heading east ever-so-slowly until ….Laredo? Bilbao? We've been warned that, East of Bilbao, you start getting too far towards the end of the Bay and the predominant wind and swell from the west / northwest make it difficult to head north. (We seem to be having a helluva lot of easterly winds lately, though…). But we've also been told by people who routinely cross from Hendaye at the far end of the Bay to Medoc that it's not a problem as long as you're patient and wait for the weather. I want to be patient but I have to admit that it doesn't come naturally to me!
In any case, we're beginning to feel like migrating birds that overslept and missed the departure date. The marinas are empty and we're now the only visitors in the huge marina in Santander, and I anticipate we'll also be alone in the new port of Laredo. Patrick keeps reminding me, and he is correct, that the end of August is often quite perturbed while September settles down into some of the best sailing weather of the year. I hope this holds true this year, too!

Professional support for you and your horse!
Life with Horses
I am 14 years old and love horses. I have always seemed to be able to calm horses down or relieve them or some type of strain (mental). I have recently thought of perhaps taken up horse therapy/whispering as a pastime/job. Could you give me any advice on what qualifications I would need in order to fulfill this? Also how did you get into it?
Thank you for your time,
Hi Lizzie,
You sound a bit like me when I was your age. I seemed to have a 'way' with horses. They would be calm down with me and appeared to be happier when I was with them. I didn't understand it then, but I do now. When we are young, we empathize with the animals more readily. By this I mean, we feel their distress and only want to comfort them to help them to relax and feel better. We have no 'agenda' or task we are pushing the animal to do for us. We look to offer to the horse as opposed to having what we want from the horse be our goal. We are more inclined to give to the animal than to look to take. Horses sense this quickly and dramatically. This is what makes you so attractive to horses. This is the heart of what I teach. Offer a sense of safety to the horse. Make him feel he is safe with you, kind of like how your parents have the wish to have you feel safe. This develops confidence in horses as well as humans. As horses are 'prey' animals (other animals eat them for dinner), they are naturally fearful and look for their leaders to provide a sense of well being and safety for them by being 'great parents'. I want to encourage to adopt all horses as your kids sort of. I mean, have their sense of well being and safety be your immediate goal. Encourage others to understand this about horses and to do the same.
You have the most basic and fundamental qualifications to do this right now. These are your open heart, caring and desire to help the horse. Keep these as your bottom line goal and I promise you a wonderful life with horses. What you need additionally is experience. Look to be with trainers and horse people who are gentle and have the horse's well-being as their fundamental goal. Thank you for you lovely email. I am available to offer help always.
Aloha, Franklin

The European commissioner for environment, maritime affairs and fisheries, Karmenu Vella, has launched a new programme calling on aquariums around the world to pull together in the fight against ocean debris, especially plastic waste.
Almost 100 aquariums have so far signed up to take part, helping raise visitor awareness and creating exhibitions to illustrate how plastic is destroying the marine environment and its wildlife.
"Aquariums are a TV screen to the ocean," says Vella. "This campaign on marine litter is urgent and welcome. The world's aquariums have decided to become the oceans' 'breaking news' to avoid becoming its history channel."
The campaign, World Aquariums Against Marine Litter, aims to educate visitors about the 10 million tonnes of litter that end up in the oceans annually, causing the deaths of millions of marine animals. Aquariums in Asia, Europe, and the Americas are getting involved in the project, which was organised by the European Union as part of the United Nation's #CleanSeas campaign.
As well as showing visitors the dangers and consequences of plastic pollution, aquariums will also present solutions, such as a circular economy approach, and offer advice on what individuals can do to help.
"This summer, millions of visitors across the globe will visit an aquarium. To bring change we must show them the reality of plastic pollution," Vella says.
The project was launched in July at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco and attended by Prince Albert II of Monaco, UN Environment Programme executive director Erik Solheim and World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) CEO Doug Cress.
The World Aquariums Against Marine Litter initiative is being held in the run up to the Our Ocean conference, which takes place in Malta on 5 and 6 October.

This easy tea is a great way to get started with incorporating essential oils in your everyday life. The Thieves wellness tea is a great immune booster and can be soothing for throat.
Two oils used:
Thieves® essential oil blend was created based on research about four thieves in France who covered themselves with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing plague victims. This proprietary essential oil blend was university tested for its cleansing abilities. It is highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health.*
Lemon (Citrus limon) essential oil has a strong, purifying, citrus scent that is revitalizing and uplifting. Lemon consists of 68 percent dlimonene, a powerful antioxidant. It is delightfully refreshing in water and may be beneficial for the skin. Lemon may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods. Lemon essential oil is cold-pressed from the rinds of lemons.
Notice: I only recommend using Young Living essential oils. Not all essential oils that you can find in the stores are suitable for ingestion.
Thieves Wellness Tea
1 cup of hot water (or Tea, I like Moroccan mint)
2 drops of Thieves essential oil
2 drops of Lemon essential oil
Honey (optional)
Boil water, add to cup, mix in the oils!
You will get the soothing benefits just from two drops of Thieves and Lemon essential oils in hot water, but I also like to add honey and I add the mix in mint tea, if you have Peppermint essential oil, you can also skip the tea bag and add one drop of Peppermint to the mix.

A Kansas man is accused of molesting a child in Wichita. The defendant, age 34, is facing allegations of aggravated indecent liberties with a child after allegedly fondling or touching a 5-year-old in early April. The sex crime reportedly occurred on April 5.
Authorities report that the defendant was arrested on April 6 after a 30-year-old woman reportedly witnessed and phoned in the incident. He was taken into custody about an hour and half after that woman made the call. The defendant is accused of making the child lower his pants and underwear and touch his own genitals.
The man has spent time in prison for sex offenses in the past; Kansas Department of Corrections officials say that the man spent about four years in prison after a conviction in the early 2000s. The defendant had been accused of aggravated indecent liberties -- the same charge he currently faces -- in connection with an incident with an 8-year-old child in Sedgwick County, Kansas. His sentence ended in 2009.
In this case, the defendant is currently being held on a $250,000 bond. It does not appear that he has posted bail in order to secure his release. The man will appear in court again in late April. He could face a life sentence without parole for 25 years in connection with the allegations. The charges qualify as a sex offense under Jessica's Law, which mandates strict minimum sentencing guidelines for certain sex offenses.
Registered sex offenders who are accused of additional sexual assault may have special courtroom needs. Jessica's Law crimes have heavy implications that can lead to hefty criminal penalties. A Kansas attorney may be able to provide additional information and education about the impact of Jessica's Law on a criminal case.

Welcome to the this year's peak of the Solar Lion Stargate!
What is the Solar Lion Stargate?
The 8:8 (Aug 8) Solar Lion Stargate is the cosmic event that has been venerated and celebrated by ancient Egyptians, creators of the Sphinx, and descendants of the Atlanteans. Both of these two now extinct societies possessed extraordinary celestial knowledge and cosmic awareness.
This is an annual galactic event that occurs when our Sun enters the Leo constellation. The Solar Lion Stargate peaks on 8:8 (Aug 8), the double infinity energy day. During this week (Aug 4-11), the stargate will be fully open to allow the energy from the Source (Creator) at the Great Central Sun, our Sun and the stars Sirius, to pour into Planet Earth.
This transmission will be especially concentrated at the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Sphinx (Solar Lion). But there are other energy vortexes around the world through which these transmissions will also occur. The Rainbow Shower, the Earth's Heart Chakra, is one of them.
What does the Solar Lion Stargate mean for us?
The Solar Lion Stargate is an opportunity for all beings on Planet Earth, sentient and inanimate, to renew themselves.
A number of important things happen in our galaxy around the Solar Lion's Gate opening.
The clearest of all is the pulling of Sirius – the brightest star we can see – towards Earth. At peak alignment, which happens on August 8th, Sirius lines up directly with the pyramids in Giza. In Egypt, this is marked by abundance.
Why is that significant?
Well, Sirius A, the bigger and brighter of of the two Sirius star, has twice the mass of our Sun and is 25 times more luminous. Despite its twin Sirius B being much smaller – similar in size to Earth – it has almost the same mass as the Sun, making it an incredibly dense object.
Sirius A is estimated to have surface temperatures of around 10,000C (18,000F), almost twice as hot as the sun, while Sirius B has the surface temperatures of around 25,000C (45,000F), which is almost five times as hot as the sun.
See why we should take the Sirius energies seriously? [pun intended]
During this Solar Lion Stargate a wave of intense Light from the Galactic Center is being transmitted to the Earth. This "wave" contains the new Light Codes for the Evolution of the Earth for the next year/cycle, and so it is known as the Planetary New Year!
It is vitally important for all who aspire to ascend to open our hearts to receive these codes and to recharge our DNA in order to make another quantum shift toward ascension.
How do we do open ourselves to receive these codes?
I will share with you how I do it. It's up to you to use it or modify my process to suit your situation and circumstance.
First, it is important that you discern, using your own intuition, some sacred places in your own environment. That's where you should go every day to mediate.
In my case, the Rainbow Shower, which is shaped as the Sphinx (right), is one of of the concentrators of these powerful celestial energies that are now entering Planet Earth (see Connecting Rainbow Shower to Crop Circles, Solar Lion Gateway, July 2013).
Three 5-minute meditations
Set aside about 15 minutes every day this week for a special meditation. I break it up into 5-minute segments. I go each of the three Triangle of Light Infinity Portals and focus my meditation on specific things.
At each Portal, I visualize myself as a rod, a conductor of light, transceiving celestial energies through the Crown Chakra and to and from Mother Earth through the Root Chakra.
This is what I say to open the sacred space before each 5-minute meditation (it's not important that it be exactly 5 minutes):
"This is ALTZAR, the Rainbow Giver, from the Dogon Star (Sirius B). I am a child of the Universe. I am a ray of the original Sun. I am a link between Heaven and Earth. I am Wholeness. I am Love. And I love You."
- At the Portal of Infinite Wisdom, I open my heart to receive optimal wisdom and higher knowledge codes from my Spirit guides. I also pray that the same energies be shared with all benevolent human beings on this planet. That's so they could also use in the cause of Peace and Harmony among all.
- At the Portal of Infinite Compassion and Forgiveness, I repeat the opening of sacred space. Then I shift the focus to offering and receiving the Compassion and Forgiveness codes for all that I have done, and all that has been done to me. And I ask the Spirit that the same energies be shared with all benevolent human beings on this planet, so they could be put to use in the cause of Peace and Harmony among all.
- At the Portal of Infinite Love, I send my Love to the Creator, to Mother Earth, to all her celestial brethren, and to all sentient and inanimate creatures on this planet. And I open my heart to receive Love from the Creator and all benevolent entities in our galaxy. And I ask the Spirit that the same energies be shared with all benevolent human beings on this planet, so they could be put to use in the cause of Peace and Harmony among all.
Finally, I go to the Anahata-Huaca-Ahu (AHA), the sacred place which is the geometric center of the Triangle of Light, and the Heart Chakra of this planet. Standing on the rock in the center of the AHA, I then connect directly with the Creator and to my Spirit guides. I ask them to activate (LAUNCH) the codes that recharge my and other people's DNAs with energies received and transmitted at the three Triangle of Light Portals.
By the way, LAUNCH stands for Love, Acceptance, Understanding, Compassion and Harmony (Humility, in my case).
And that's it. That's all it takes – about 20 minutes every day this week (and maybe a little longer on Aug 8, if you wish). And you should be good to go for the next 12 months. And so will our planet.
What can I expect from this?
We are all on different paths to the same destination – Ascension.
So there is no hard and fast rule about how each of us should get there. Or what will happen to us when we do.
What I realized this morning, for example, was that my August 1 LUMBERJACK CHALLENGE – REACHING THE "UNREACHABLE TREE" – was in part related to the opening of the Solar Lion Stargate.
Because this year's Portal for me is all about surpassing all previous limitations.
This is, for example, the message from Kyrona (a channeler) which arrived on my computer screen this morning. Up until today, I had never heard of Kyrona:
"It's not surprising that every year this configuration gives to you the infinity portal escorting you past all previous limitations. It is a number of going beyond what you know to be your normal boundaries. It asks you to fly to the moon and stop by the Milky Way on your way back. It is pure spiritual atomic energy, a pure power source.
It is success, prosperity and big business with the added flavour of universal blessings. It is finally remembering about your divine inheritance promised to you by your Holy Creator.
It is turning your nose up at earthly limitations and walking forward and upward into a place of opulence and bounty. It is about connecting to and owning your divine purpose, then stepping more fully into the life you destined yourself to live!"
And now, check out this story which I posted yesterday, and see how it matches up with what Kyrona said above about the Solar Lion Gateway.
"Rappelling" up 60-foot ravine with 70-degree slope, chainsaw on my back, to reach the "unreachable tree" – three times!
Practice in Surrendering to the Divine and Receiving Grace
When a reporter asked the late Sir Edmund Hillary why he wanted to climb Mount Everest, the first man to ever reach the summit of the tallest peak in the world replied simply, "because it was there."
"Because it was there"-line also crossed my mind yesterday (Aug 1). That's when I attempted the most treacherous of my lumberjacking adventures. Why? "Because it was there," I realized during the climb.

BREAKTHROUGH – Spirit Guidance Carries Same Message
This morning (Aug 4), I drew the BREAKTHROUGH Mystic Medicine card. It was the first time EVER (!) that I received this particular Spirit guidance. And it happened right after I had replied to two readers' comments about my "Lumberjack Challenge" story.
Here's that Spirit message:
"Break through your limitations by realizing you are the creator of your own fate. Break through the shackles of societal programming, the modern culture conditioning. Say "yes," then buckle up for a surprise of who you really are."
Good luck in your own Solar Lion Stargate quest!

SOLAR LION STARGATE OPENING, Day 1 – Aug 4, 2014
Three Rainbows confirm Spirit received messages
I did my first meditation ceremony this evening, just before sunset. I lit a Frankincense and Myrrh incense stick and took it with me, along some shamanic Holy Water.
After opening the sacred space at each of the Triangle of Light Portals with the use of incense and holy water, I put one hand on the ball of the Portal marker, and the other pointing the incense stick and holy water up toward the sky. I then did the ceremony at each of the three Portals.
As I was walking from the Portal of Infinite Love to the Anahata-Huaca-Ahu, for the fourth and final step – to activate the codes I had just received – I noticed a partial rainbow had formed overhead.
Today was a sunny, hot and dry day around here. Yet suddenly a few clouds materialized out of thin air to create the mist and the rainbow.
I recognized instantly that this was the Spirit's acknowledgement that they had received the prayers and messages. So I thanked them for it during the ceremony at the AHA.
And then another rainbow popped up above. Amazing!
I left the incense stick burning at the AHA fireplace before heading up the hill.
When I climbed up to our Rainbow Shower home, the third rainbow was greeting me as I emerged from the Orchard Rd. It stretched over our home like a protective umbrella.
I felt my heart beating very fast with joy and in gratitude to the Spirit realm. What a bliss to receive their instant confirmation.
I rushed into the house to get my camera, but by the time I came back out, less than a minute later, the rainbow was gone. Another sign that they were a form of communication with the Spirit realm rather than a normal weather phenomenon.
I took a picture of the house anyway, and then superimposed this shot of a partial rainbow from another evening. Just to give you an idea how divine and beautiful it was.
I then turned my camera to the Sun which was just about ready to set. This is what the Solar Lion looked like on the first day of the opened Stargate. Perfection!

SOLAR LION STARGATE OPENING, Day 2 – Aug 5, 2014
Guess who is coming for breakfast on 8:8?
This morning started with a bang. I just learned from Andrea, a musician-friend and Steward of the Earth here on Maui whom you saw in a ceremony with me two years ago (right), that we will be having a noisy visitor on 8:8, the peak of the Solar Lion Stargate. Apparently, Iselle is coming for breakfast.
Who is Iselle?
Iselle is a hurricane that currently packing 125 mph winds in Eastern Pacific. By the time she gets here, however, she will have weakened to "only" 65 mph, according to the forecast.
I don't normally follow weather forecasts. What's the use when you live in a place like Rainbow Shower whether the weather can change every 10 minutes? But prompted by Andrea's comment, I did it this morning. Take a look…
Guess my chainsaw work is not yet done for the summer. (Just yesterday, I finished what I thought was the last part).
Well, "the best laid plans of mice and men…" 🙂
Iselle Plumeria precedes Iselle Hurricane
Looks like we may be headed for triple trouble this week in Hawaii. Two tropical storms and a hurricane are due to visit.
Genevieve won't give us much trouble. She is not very powerful and is far to the west of us.
Iselle is a different story. Currently, she is a Category 1 hurricane with 125 mph winds. But by the time she makes a landing here in Maui on Friday (8-8-2014), it is still expected to pack a solid punch (65 mph wind).
Iselle Plumeria now has a new home
This morning, I had an idea of how to squeeze a lemon (hurricane) and make a lemonade.
We have had a small Plumeria tree here at the Rainbow Shower that's been languishing for the last five years. I have moved it to three different locations. It stayed alive but not much more. Its last residence was in a large pot next to our shed which she shared with some nasty cane grass.
My idea was to transplant it to one of our new rock wells down in the gulch (see LIFE FOR A LIFE: PALM FOR A PALM, July 13).
"We'll let Iselle water it when she comes to the Rainbow Shower later this week," I told Elizabeth over breakfast today.
That's what I meant by "when life gives you a lemon, squeeze it and make a lemonade."
And then when I transplanted that Plumeria earlier this afternoon, I decided that we should name it Iselle – in memory of the first drink she got at her new home. 🙂 Elizabeth agreed.

The vessel used to contain compressed air, referred to as a 'tank' in the USA. As a general rule of thumb most systems need a minimum of a 'one minute receiver'. Although wholly inaccurate, the following will provide the basis of most systems. 700 cfm compressor at 7 barg. 700/7 = 100 cubic ft receiver. 700 cfm compressor at 10 barg. 700/10 = 70 cubic ft receiver.
Refrigerated dryer:
A dryer which chills compressed air, forcing the air to produce condensate thereby drying it. See dryers.
Relief Valves:
A device fitted to receivers and the like that allows the system pressure to vent before the safe working pressure is reached.
RH (Relative Humidity):
Air has a natural ability to hold water. Its ability is dependent upon temperature and to a lesser degree pressure. Whenever air has absorbed as much water as it can hold, it is called saturated. Or even 100% saturated. In this condition it is ready to produce condensate, but not quite ready enough. Air in this condition has a 100% RH. If the air had absorbed only half as much water as it could theoretically hold, then the air would have a 50% RH.
Risk Analysis:
Risk is the probability of failure, and the term risk is often confused with the term 'hazard'.

People are now coming to recognize a more complex interplay of different forms of human communication, from lullabies to hypertext and beyond. This book notes that the question of causality will not get us very far, because writing and reading are hardly constant at all times and places. At its origin lies a yeshiva class. Comparing the place of texts in various cultural situations might help explain the persistent isolation of Jewish culture as a research specialty in anthropology. This chapter hints at the challenges to the still-prevalent notion that there is a bifurcation, analogous to that between orality and literacy, between the real world and the world of scholarship.
Keywords: yeshiva class, Jewish culture, causality, communication, anthropology

Web Designer Hiring Tips
For every business out there, regardless of niche, product, service, or industry, it is safe to assume that establishing online presence has already commenced or at least included in the plans for the immediate future. In a world where majority of consumers are already purchasing their stuff online, it really does not make any sense for a business not to focus on building a website and reaching out to prospective customers online.
If you are a business owner who's mightily struggling to remain competitive in your niche or industry, it's about time you build online presence for your brand and your first priority must be hiring a web designer. Since web design deals with building a website and optimizing it so that it will best represent your business to online visitors, you need someone who isn't just well-acquainted with internet marketing and web development, but a company that has years of experience in providing web design services to several clients in the past. The basic objectives of your site include that of it being user friendly, intuitive and easy to navigate.
Unfortunately, it isn't that easy to figure out which of your prospects are good and competent enough to deliver the kind of web design services you're hoping for. Anyway, we have compiled some tips for you, which you later can use in order to make sure you're hiring the right people for the web design job.
The first thing you need to understand about hiring a web design agency is that you never should consider one that doesn't value good communication to kick things off. Though the web designer will be responsible for building the site, you still reserve the right to be updated on any progress because you're the one paying them to build something for your brand to be showcased online.
You also need to take a closer look at the company's portfolio. This is your best chance of looking at their previous web design projects for previous clients. You need to see if the websites they built and created for past clients are compatible for different platforms. What this literally means is that aside from working completely in the different web browsers, the website must also be mobile responsive.
Furthermore, the best web design agency has extensive knowledge as well as experience in doing search engine optimization. In the earlier days of web design, companies offering the services were doing nothing but creating websites; but because the demand for them has increased while competition continues to rise, many of these agencies had no choice but to incorporate SEO services, too.
Therefore, it wouldn't make a lot of sense if you choose to hire a web design company that doesn't know a thing or two about SEO since it's a form of internet marketing strategy you'll need the moment your website goes live online.

corporate gifts, enamel lapel pins, executive name badges, hotel name badges, ID Badges, reusable badges
In business, there are many factors that can affect growth. Usually, business marketing and IT services are among the most notable elements of a business that can affect growth. For this reason, any business which is lagging behind in either business marketing or both is definitely bound to collapse if nothing is done as quickly as possible. But, being visible to your audience of customers is another aspect of business that can affect growth. The more your customers learn about your existence, the more they will be drawn to deal with you. This is like the law of demand and supply. Therefore, you have to supplement your business marketing efforts by putting in place measures that can enhance the visibility of your business. In case you are wondering how best you can enable your customers to recognise you, the following information is for you.
Take advantage of custom made badges
In business marketing, the use of badges can play a huge role in alerting people to what you can offer. Although this is not the traditional purpose for coming up with company badges, it is actually one of the new ways in which a business can be promoted. In particular, the use of custom badges is one of the major ways in which a business can be promoted through the use of badges. The best way to achieve great marketing results out of the use of this method is by including advertising information on business badges. If you include advertising information in the form of short texts on a business badge, you will be able to attract clients to your business. The more customers have a glimpse of what you have indicated on the executive name badges, the more your business will be known. Custom badges are preferred to the generic ones because they are designed according to the specifications of the client. Therefore, you will have a chance to include information that you want on your business badges.
Consider executive badges
Executive badges can also be used for business promotion. Such badges are often worn by the members of the executive committee of any business. A perfect example of an individual that may be entitled to wearing such badges is a manager or supervisor. Badges for such individuals are normally designed in a very special way to distinguish them from common badges. However, they are can also be used for the promotion of a business. The manner in which this can be achieved is actually similar to the custom made hotel name badges.
Generic badges can also be used
A generic badge is made in advance. The buyer of the badge has little control over what is included on the badge. However, the information presented on the badge can be added by the buyer. This is mainly because the badges are designed to accommodate information such as business promotion texts, name of company and the actual position of the persona wearing the badge. Therefore, generic badges are also perfect for marketing a business.


text: In Montreal they have this weekly informal festival in Mont Royal Park that the locals call the Tams Tams. The centrepiece of the festivities is a giant freeform hippy drum circle with hundreds of folks drumming and dancing and drinking and smoking weed. It's pure Montreal and it's fucking glorious. Off to the side of the drum circle there's a regular event where dozens and dozens of people garbed in duct tape medieval costumes and carrying nerf weaponry engage in these big crazy live action role-play battles. This is an old shot I took a few summers ago of one of my favourite warriors. The eyes aren't photoshop; this guy was wearing demon contact lenses for the event.

Benefits of Red Yeast Rice
Related MultimediaClick on an icon to view.
How Does Red Yeast Rice Work?As mentioned, when fermented under certain conditions with specific strains of yeast, red yeast rice may contain significant amounts of mevinic acids, including lovastatin. Lovastatin is an HMG-Co reductase inhibitor, more commonly known as a statin. Statins work by blocking HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that controls the rate of cholesterol production in the body. This causes the liver to make less cholesterol.
Red yeast rice may also contain plant sterols, such as beta-sitosterol, which are compounds that can help lower cholesterol. It may also contain isoflavones (estrogen-like plant compounds). However, most of the cholesterol-lowering benefits of red yeast rice are probably due to lovastatin or related compounds.
Red Yeast Rice Use in ChildrenRed yeast rice that is used in food, not in supplements, is probably safe for children. Supplements, however, are not recommended for children.

New research suggests gardening improves mental health
Need an excuse to spend more time in the garden? Or perhaps need a reason to get out your green thumb for the first time?
Old and new research shows that getting out in the garden is beneficial for mental and physical health – particularly for those settling in to an unfamiliar place.
Stephen Kaplan from the department of psychology at the University of Michigan published an article in the Journal of Environmental Psychology suggesting spending time outdoors, in the garden or in nature, has many restorative benefits on mental and physical wellbeing.
A new study on the Myanmar refugee community in regional Australia also revealed how gardening can have a significant positive impact on the mental health of people who have faced severe trauma and are now settling in an unfamiliar place.
Tatiara local gardener and landscaper Louise Hannemann has been gardening since 1988, and agrees with the research findings. She told the Chronicle gardening makes you look forward rather than backward and helps one's optimism.
"Gardening is a wonderful therapy to help your mental state of being as it takes your mind away from your problems," she said.
"You get out into the fresh air and do some physical exercise with something tangible.
"You get your hands dirty, feel tired and your muscles ache, but at least you have achieved something for the day."
Mrs Hannemann said gardening helps her feel more connected to nature and helps establish a sense of belonging.
"Gardening helps one move with the seasons, learn how local soil works and understand what plants we can grow in the Tatiara," Mrs Hannemann said.
"It also gives you a sense of place and belonging when you have a garden in which to plan, implement and nurture your own interpretation of nature."
Mrs Hannemann said she enjoys the sense of achievement that also comes with gardening.
"It is such a joy to see a favourite plant come into flower or see the whole garden start to grow again after the hot summer."
"It is a most enjoyable thing to do on a glorious day!"
