I have a really hard time putting Lu's Lightbearer aspect into words. Part of me feels silly for being so emotional over it, for the ache in my chest, and his goddamn ability to make me burst into tears by simply allowing me to catch a glimpse of that aspect. I feel silly because I shouldn't be so scared or overwhelmed of 'light', right?
I find it near impossible to accurately describe how gorgeous and fragile and breathtaking he makes the world appear, and how hard it is to remember to breathe when you're lost within the depths of life itself, as if seeing things for the very first time. I can't entirely explain how it feels like to be simultaneously loving and grieving and feeling like a star just supernova'd in your soul.
And then, just when I think I can't take anymore without my heart bursting, I'm left utterly empty and trying to piece together what little sanity he's left me with.
It's so much easier to talk about the aspects of his make me want to pull my hair out in frustration. It's easier to talk about his 'darker' aspects than it is to contemplate his role as the Lightbearer, because of how terrifying and exhilarating bliss can be.
We tend to forget, or maybe we're just too scared to admit, that light can be even more cruel and terrifying than darkness.

Twin Towers : Himalayan Mayapples
Plantsman Allen Bush was on a collecting trip in Sichuan, China, on 9/11. Ten years later, he remembers the helplessness of distance and the security gained from two tiny companions, their feet on the ground.

By Allen Bush
I was with a group of plant explorers in Kanding, China on the evening of September 11, 2001. We'd just finished dinner. One of our Chinese drivers, known as the Wrench for his mechanical skills, knew I liked to check emails. He asked me and Pierre Bennerup if we wanted to go to an Internet café.
We'd been in China for over a week and were scheduled to travel throughout western Sichuan for another three weeks. Internet access was widely available across China, usually on very slow dial-up modems. Even in remote towns where farmers were herding yaks down a rutted muddy street and laundry was being done on a rock down by the river, you could find the Internet. Competition flourished with one café in the Sichuan mountain town of Moxi charging $2.00 an hour, another down the street charging a cutthroat $1.00. The smoky cafes were filled with teenagers playing shoot 'em-up games.

Making $39 a Month?
There oughta be law against paying cut-flower workers (or anybody) just $39 a month. Naivasha's MP has proposed to up their minimum wage. Leaders of the Kenyan industry are pushing back, hard.

Do the cut-flower workers of Kenya deserve to make $100 A MONTH?
John Mututho, Member of Parliament from Naivasha, where the nation's biggest flower farms are clustered, thinks so. And that would be a big pay raise! Mututho has introduced an amendment to the Labour Institutions Act that would increase flower workers' monthly wages from the current 3,765 Kenya Shillings ($39.71) to Sh 10,050 (the equivalent of $106.01).
The Kenya Flower Council is lobbying Parliament, meanwhile, to prevent legislative authority over minimum wages, in other words, to keep wages down.

Princess Anne national savings stamp, March 1960
Image: Stampboards
By John Levett
In 1956 the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, Harold Macmillan, introduced Premium Bonds, a variety of the savings scheme beloved of governments of the time—savings being seen as 'a good thing,' very worthy, a benefit to the nation and, given rising incomes and prosperity until the ends of time, possible in some way for most families. We even had savings schemes in primary school: bringing along our sixpences and shillings and our savings books. A working-class sixpence bought you a stamp with a Princess Anne on it and a princely sum of one shilling got you Prince Charles. These were stuck in a book and taken straight home to your parents lest you got the idea that you could trip straight down to the post office, take out your six-hours-old savings and blow the lot on 'things that do you no good.' Such a fact also led to a seriously-enduring dislike for the kids on the stamps.
The non-interest-paying Premium Bond (minimum deposit £1) had the come-on of the possibility of earning a monthly prize courtesy of the Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment or ERNIE as it came to be known—in short, Britain's first lottery; top prize £1000. The Gospel lobby was still strong in the Conservative Party of those days so according to debates all manner of societal breakdown was in store— a 'cold, solitary, mechanical, uncompanionable, inhuman activity' as the Archbishop of Canterbury had it. Mum bought some over the years but between 1958 and the year she died in 1979 only topped out at one £25 prize.
I've never been one for voluntary saving but when I retired from teaching I put a few grand into Premium Bonds (top prize these days, one million) and awaited the surprise. I never expected anything to happen; I looked upon it as a way of putting some money aside which would go to various charities in my will alongside the promise of random treats along the way. The surprise is that I keep winning. These are not amounts that'll land me decreeing stately pleasure domes, rather a couple of CDs and a new shirt but they keep dropping through the letter box.

Blind Magnolias
Justice in Mississippi's state capitol wears the state flower over both ears. But did justice have a part in choosing the magnolia?
The magnolia blossom, chosen by Mississippi schoolchildren, was officially adopted as the state flower in 1952.
This painting, entitled Keeping Secrets, is by Edward Loedding
Image: All Posters
With an endless, complicated job to do, Justice reasonably has lots of equipment. Bare necessities seem to be a sword, a helmet, scales, and a blindfold. (We never understood how the last two worked in tandem. Eyes covered, how was Lady Justice to see if or when the scales balanced?...)
To these tools, the State of Mississippi has added a pair of beautiful magnolia blossoms, one over each of the deity's ears. This bas relief carving (sculptor unknown) is a much admired ornament beneath the dome of the state capitol, built 1901-1903, in Jackson.
Adding this lush, local floral element to the depiction of Justice is entirely in keeping with the building's beaux-arts style. "She's so good lookin', she looks like a man!" John Lennon would have exclaimed!
She's also illuminated by "750 lights" bringing to mind the wonderful carvings of carousels and circus wagons around this time, the turn of the 20th century.

Free Birds
Andy's images of birds are incredibly popular. At first I didn't understand this – a Hitchcockian hangover perhaps – but several people explained to me why this is. It boils down to this – birds represent freedom. The more I think about it, the most correct that is.
A bird on the ground can take off at any moment. He (or she of course!) can decide where to fly or he can drift on air currents and let the wind decide. I can imagine primitive man looking at birds and being so envious of their ability. I think that everyone aspires to a little more freedom these days. Freedom from their job, freedom from money worries, freedom to be themselves … and the birds represent that.
Some of the images in the Free Bird series are color and some are black and white. We've chosen a monochrome example here. It shows the freedom beautifully. The bird is poised to fly into the light of the rising sun.
As with all our example images, we have included a link so that you can send a free e-card of this image. If you're an interior designer, you may want to email it to your clients who are looking for artwork. Or if you're looking for artwork for your home, send it to you partner and say "This is the one I want!"
Here are a few examples of how the artwork can look in various framing styles.

Run by Jon Basso, The Heart Attack Grill has been known as "A taste worth dying for" But is it really? If they were to sell their burgers in Glen Innes nearly all the people in this community would be overweight. Some of these people could die. Here are three reasons why I don't think that The Heart Attack Grill should be allowed to operate.
Reason 1: At their restaurant they sell Butter Cream Milkshakes, Fries and Fatty Burgers. To cook the food they use a lot of lard (lard is animal fat).
Evidence: If you weigh 350 pounds or more Jon Basso will give you free food.
Reason 2: This food can kill! Jon Basso warns his customers, if you eat this food, it may kill you, but he will still provide it for you if you want it. He also makes people think that being overweight is a good thing, when it clearly is not.
Evidence: Weighing at more than 500 pounds, his friend/spokesmodel Blair, died from pneumonia.
Reason 3: Sizes! The meals that are served at this restaurant are unbelievably big. Filled with fat they also tend to serve an unlimited amount of huge burgers, fries and milkshakes.
Evidence: Some burgers they sell are 4 patties high.
Although he's selling all this fatty food, Jon Basso thinks that this will better the community's food choices and will help out people to realize that they are eating terribly unhealthy food. But does that stop overweight customers from eating there?
Overall, I think you know that I would not like this restaurant to operate in Glen Innes at all. That's my thought - but what about you???

Bold testimonies, powerful worship and candid conversations were the focus of the 2018 West Ohio Annual Conference, June 3-6 at Lakeside Chautauqua on the shore of Lake Erie. Bishop Gregory V. Palmer presided over the conference under the theme, "Be Not Afraid, There Is Enough!"
Palmer acknowledged the angst and anxiety of church members as the denomination moves toward the February 2019 special session of the General Conference, where delegates will decide on legislation specific to human sexuality.
"Just when we get to that point of weariness is exactly the wrong time to stop building our relationships, listening to our stories, increasing our capacity, and opening our hearts to one another and refusing to unhitch ourselves from each other," he said.
Palmer led conference members in small-group discussions regarding human sexuality, including their dreams for the church and prayers for the West Ohio General Conference delegates.
The Rev. Zan Wesley Holmes Jr., pastor emeritus of St. Luke Community United Methodist Church in Dallas, and the Rev. Lou Seiple, lead pastor at Stonybrook United Methodist Church in Gahanna, were the guest preachers. This year, the conference brought "Fear Less" segments, which allowed individuals to share their experiences with addiction, racism, gun violence and disaster response.
During times of holy conferencing, members:
- Passed the 2019 Budget of $20,065,646, nearly $2.25 million less than in 2018, a 10-percent reduction. Every conference and district budget will rely on less support from apportionments.
- Passed a Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits recommendation that is largely consistent with past years. The main change is to UMPIP personal contributions: eligible clergy members and local pastors will now be auto-enrolled at a rate of 3 percent, and this will increase at a rate of 1 percent per year until 10 percent is reached, unless opting out of the auto-escalation feature.
- Passed an increase of 2 percent for recommended minimum salaries for pastors, deacons and elders; this is in line with the national guidelines for the cost-of-living increase for 2018.
- Approved a vacation policy that set standards for vacation days, clarified continuing education time away, and encouraged self-care through regular Sabbath.
- Approved a recommendation that rescinded investment restrictions placed on the conference by the 2011 Annual Conference and encourages all United Methodist investors to use human rights records as an important basis for evaluating investment decisions.
- Passed the recommendation calling for clergy and congregations of West Ohio to support United Methodists and churches within the conference that provide material, legal and spiritual services to refugees and immigrants and to support congregations who, abiding by legal decisions of the court, provide temporary sanctuary to individuals or families.
The conference paid 100 percent of its apportionment commitment for the sixth consecutive year. George Howard of the General Board of Global Ministries presented the conference with four awards. West Ohio is leading the denomination in giving to Mission Initiatives and Global Health and is one of the top conferences in giving to U.S. Disasters and Mission Together.
"Light the Way" is a focused plan to develop new faith communities and increase the number of highly vital existing congregations. An offering of $100,800 was collected, bringing the total of gifts and pledges to $2,171,415.
Statistical reports showed the following:
- Membership – 155,691, down 4 percent from the previous year;
- Worship attendance – 96,717, down 3 percent;
- Church school attendance – 28, 933, up 7 percent;
- Professions or reaffirmations of faith – 3,397, down 6 percent;
- Adults and young adults in small groups – 101,349, down 3 percent;
- Worshippers engaged in mission – 50,578, up 12 percent;
- WOC churches served 2,397,613 people with ministries of outreach, justice and mercy. This reflects an increase of 26 percent.
Palmer said he would hold several gatherings throughout the conference this autumn. Entitled "I Believe in the Church: A Time of Inspirational Worship, Teaching and Testifying," the sessions are open to all West Ohio United Methodists.
"I believe in the church," the bishop concluded. "I believe in the church not because it's perfect, but because it is of God. Tell the pallbearers to stand down. God is not done with the church."

Associate Director, Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home, Augusta University
Number of years in position: 3 years
Family: My wife, Courtney, and I have a daughter, Caroline, and a son, Camden.
Why I'm Passionate About What I Do: I consider it a privilege to serve the veterans who have sacrificed so much for this great nation. It is truly an honor to wake up every day and care for the veterans who have served during WWII, the Korean War, Vietnam and the Gulf War. Georgia War is a treasure trove of military experience and wisdom, but these men and women are not only veterans. They are proud family members, pillars of the Georgia community and have had long, successful careers. To be able to give back to this population is an honor.
I also find it rewarding to be involved with the clinical and medical education of Georgia's future healthcare professionals. Georgia War is a training site for Augusta University's Medical College of Georgia, Dental College of Georgia, College of Nursing and College of Allied Health Sciences. We also support training opportunities for Fort Gordon's Eisenhower Army Medical Center and Augusta Technical College. It is a joy to work with these future healthcare professionals.
Community Groups and Charities I Love to Support: I am an advocate and huge supporter of all of our veteran service organizations such as the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Paralyzed Veterans of America, just to name a few. There are so many other groups like the Knights of Columbus who volunteer their time as well. These organizations do so much for the veterans in our community, especially at Georgia War and the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center.
I also like to volunteer and give back to the American Heart Association and United Way. The United Way does so much for the CSRA by leveraging resources to improve our community. The American Heart Association gives back to the community through healthcare, education and research, especially at Augusta University. I'm proud to support these community groups.
Biggest Career or Life Obstacle I've Overcome and How: My biggest career/life obstacle was a blessing in disguise. Finding a job in the middle of the 2008 recession was not so easy. After graduating from The Medical University of South Carolina, I found myself in Charleston with very few options. I went into the program originally for hospital administration, but many of the entry-level executive positions were cut during the recession. Fortunately, though, an administrative fellowship opened at the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center and that opportunity ended up being the foundation to not only my professional life, but my personal life as well. This is where I met my wife, who also works with many of these same veteran service organizations.
Accomplishment I'm Most Proud Of: Personally, I'm a very proud husband and dad. My wife and kids are truly a blessing. Professionally, I am honored to be named one of Georgia's Top 40 Under 40 this year by Georgia Trend magazine. They recently held the awards presentation at Fox Theatre in Atlanta.
Favorite Way to Spend Saturday Afternoon: I am an avid college football fan, so Saturday afternoons in the fall are pretty much booked. Luckily though, watching college football is something we do as a family. I also like the outdoors and camping out at the lake, something I look forward to doing more of when my kids are a little older.
Favorite TV Show: "ESPN College Game Day"
Favorite Movie: Forrest Gump
Favorite Sports Team: Clemson — Go, Tigers!
Favorite Comfort Food: Country fried steak, fresh collard greens, okra and squash.
Favorite App: Probably Google Maps. This app prevents me from getting lost relatively often.
Last Book Read: The Little Engine That Could — one of my daughter's favorite books
Dream Vacation: Spending a couple of weeks in the Caribbean visiting the British Virgin Islands and U.S. Virgin Islands. I've never been, and they seem like the perfect vacation spots for a little bit of R&R.
Best Thing I Ever Learned: The harder you work, the luckier you will be. I was taught that at a young age and have found it to be true over the years.
Something That Has Changed My Life: My parents, no doubt, have had the most impact in my life, but playing sports has really changed my life, especially playing college baseball. There are so many life lessons that can be learned through sports. Professionally, having the opportunity to work under a great man and leader, Charles Esposito, executive director at Georgia War. I owe so much to Charles for taking a chance on me three years ago and allowing me the opportunity to serve in a leadership capacity at Georgia War.
Favorite Hobbies: Exercising, camping, kayaking and being out on the lake.
Secret Aspiration: I would like to one day teach business at the college level and be involved with the professional development of aspiring young folks. Looking back at all of the professors who made an impact on my life is motivating and makes me want to give back.
Reality Show I Would Totally Win: "Big Brother" — I find it a fascinating social experiment. It's interesting to see people with different backgrounds live in the same environment while competing for the same goal. I think it would be a neat experience.
Something People Would Be Surprised to Know About Me: I grew up on a 64-acre farm in South Carolina with all the animals you can imagine. I look back now at how special those times were. I especially enjoyed being around horses at a young age.

CMS urges states to adopt disease management programs
March 1, 2004
WASHINGTON - In a letter to state Medicaid officials last month, CMS announced it would match state costs of running disease management programs aimed at improving health outcomes while lowering the medical costs associated with these diseases.
"Disease management is an exciting opportunity to significantly improve the care delivered to Medicaid beneficiaries with chronic conditions," said Dennis Smith, acting director of CMS. "It uses the best of managed care techniques of coordinating care that may not have been available in a fee-for-service delivery system."
Studies have shown that persons with chronic illnesses like diabetes, asthma, congestive heart failure, hypertension and other long-term diseases use a disproportionate share of medical services. These beneficiaries frequently are treated by multiple providers whose care is not coordinated, potentially leading to duplicative and unnecessary services and driving up medical expenses. Disease management is a set of interventions designed to improve the health of these individuals by working more directly with them and their physicians on their treatment plans regarding diet, adherence to medicine schedules and other self-management techniques.

text: The monthly US labour report headlined another hectic week and did not disappoint in terms of surprises and subsequent market reaction. Indeed, there was something for everyone given a huge 300k+ payroll gain vs 200k or so consensus (and another 50k+ in back month upgrades for January and December), but a miss on average earnings and downgrade from 2.9% previously (which was the beat that got inflation and Fed rate hike pulses racing in early February). So, extremely volatile and somewhat erratic trade as all the numbers were digested, with Usd/Jpy edging above 107.00 and extending gains made on a combination of less geopolitical and global trade war angst. However, the headline pair eased back below the figure just before huge option expiry interest (around 4 bn) at the strike ran off and may need to close above 106.75-80 (21 DMA) to advance further into a new range (having tested 105.25 ytd lows earlier in the weak when US President Trump's import tariffs were really stoking protectionism policy fears). Eur/Usd is trying to keep above the 1.2300 level and stem net losses made on the March ECB meeting, as QE guidance was tweaked via dropping the can be increased again if necessary easing bias, but Draghi delivered a more cautious/balanced press conference given that core inflation remains subdued and victory on that front cannot be declared. Conversely, firmer than expected and above new Norges Bank target level Norwegian inflation could well see tightening guidance adjusted to indicate a move sooner than currently projected – Nordea thinks so and has revised its forecast to September from end of 2018 (Eur/Nok now around 9.5750 and close to lows seen last Friday when the Finance Ministry lowed the mandate to 2% from 2.5%). Usd/Cad another big mover and lower after Canada (alongside Mexico) got an exemption from the steel and aluminium taxes, albeit contingent on a NAFTA agreement – currently sub-1.2850 vs 1.3000+ 2018 highs, and despite another disappointing Canadian jobs report (headline employment just below consensus and all down to part-time workers). The Loonie may have benefited from reports of decent cross/Jpy demand, like Eur/Jpy that saw stops tripped on post-NFP buy orders. Back to G10s, the safe-haven Chf also weakened as the week progressed and risk aversion shifted to risk-on sentiment, to sit around 0.9500 vs the Greenback. Conversely, the Aud, Cad and Gbp are all ending Friday on the front foot back above 0.7800, close to 0.7300 and 1.3900 vs the Usd respectively, while the DXY is just keeping its head above 90.000.

OS X :: Cannot Read From Socket - Error 0Jul 19, 2009
I am trying to use Syncopation to sync my iTunes library between my iMac and two Macbooks. I have had success in the past, but haven't used the program for a while (yeah...lazy!). Now, whenever I go to run the sync, I get this:
Cannot read from socket. error 0
Any ideas?
It may well be unrelated to Syncopation.
I recall data socket errors being an old windows thing, usually due to viruses or malware. Obviously, that's not a problem I should be having on my iMac. I don't get the error running anything else.

For the second installment of my short series featuring summer active wear, I'm highlighting the brand that makes up about 90% of my workout gear - Livi Active from Lane Bryant. I've been wearing Livi since I started caring about what I wear when I work out. I used to be in the "wear any old thing to exercise" camp, despite the fact that active wear has been around for quite some time. I just never thought I'd be into that kind of thing... throw on an old t-shirt & sweatpants and I was good.
But when I decided last Fall to get serious about what I wore when I began hiking my local trails, Lane Bryant was the first place I went to for comfortable, perfect fitting workout gear. Truthfully, I compare all my other active wear to Livi. I have as many full length leggings as I do cropped length. I tend to wear the full length leggings on the trails because sticks and stones can break my bones, and mud is so icky!

If you have been in debt for quite a while, you probably know the amount of efforts you need to put in to the two-way communication between you and your credit card companies. It is not always easy to secure a good interest rate, particularly when you have had bad credit for a good amount of time.
You need to take an active approach towards minimizing your interest expenses on your debt by learning to negotiate with credit card companies.
While it is certainly better to learn a few strategies to fix your credit with the help of a reliable credit repair company; you are naturally looking forward to take the first steps yourself.
Here is what you can do to negotiate a more suitable deal with your credit card company:
Gather All Offers
The first thing to do is gather as much offers as you can. Waiting to gather up as many credit card offers in your mail as you can, will help you create a mental baseline to begin the negotiation with. These offers will allow you to prove to a credit card company how their offer means nothing to you, as you have better ones on hand. You could obviously make up the numbers and offers, but credit card companies know what is going on in the market and the mistake might backfire.
Make A List
Make a list of all credit cards you have, along with all the balances and interest rates. Also consider noting down the amount of time the rate would last.
Call The First Option
Grab the phone and call the number one on the list. Once you are connected to a representative, ask for the supervisor. You might hear 'no' many times, but consider insisting. Tell the representative you wish to speak to someone who has authority over negotiations.
Plead Your Case
Tell the supervisor that if his company isn't able to give you a more suitable rate, you would obviously go for XYZ's X% interest rate offer. This works more than often, even if it is a 1% reduction in the rate that they offer.
Close Your Account and Get The Best Offer
Once you have transferred your balance to the new account, we advise you to call up the previous company and close your account. You might need to face a lot of persuasion from representatives but insist that you need it done. They might even offer you better deals, but if you have already moved your balance to the new account, it might not be of any use.
These are just some of the ways you can use to negotiate a better deal with your credit card company, so that you can secure a good credit rating down the line. Feel free to ask us a question at our home page for Quick Credit Repair to learn more about how we can make it easier to repair your credit score.

Getting Started / 101
Get Ready For Your First Time
Get pumped up! Watch some dance videos on youtube or listen to your favorite upbeat songs. Get motivated by reminding yourself of your personal goals and why you want to use this fun dance style to get fit!
Here is a great introduction for beginners trying out Fitness Dance for the first time! Watch for a basic zumba lesson with Diana Lopez.
Preparation and Training
No preparation is necessary! However, if you really want to work on a few things before your first class, focus on rhythm and your ability to pick up basic dance choreography. To improve your rhythm, find your favorite Youtube music video and practice "step clapping" to the beat. Gangnam style is a great one to start out with.) You can also look up tutorial videos (like basic Zumba moves) on Youtube and begin learning some of them ahead of time if you wish.
Here is a fantastic fitness dance instructional video. Simple beats with simple moves when done fast becomes a great workout!
The best way to prepare for any fitness class is to gradually start working up to a moderate cardio and strength fitness level. You don't want your fitness dance class to be the first time you've raised your heart rate in months. By taking a week or two to build up your endurance you will get more physical results and more enjoyment out of your first fitness dance class. Before your class, you might want to properly warm-up and stretch your body to avoid injuries.
Relax and don't be nervous! Anyone can take a fitness dance class even if you've never had an ounce of dance training in your life. Usually there will be 10 to 20 (or even more!) students in each class so you will be able to blend into the crowd if you are nervous about standing out. The whole reason you are taking a class like this is because it is a fun way to exercise! We bet you will leave the studio wanting more and you will want to sign up for another class immediately.
Beginner Check List
• Water bottle
• Sweat towel
• Ponytail holder to pull your hair back away from your face
• Great attitude and work ethic
• Friend or a group of friends to make it more fun
• Comfortable shoes that are appropriate for the class you are taking

By Juan Cole | (Informed Comment) | – –Baghdad is under a state of emergency on Sunday a day after members of the Sadr Trend stormed the Green Zone and invaded the parliament building, briefly imprisoning parliamentarians in the chamber (and some in a basement) before letting them go. Some apparently were beaten as they left. Most of the protesters, though, were relatively peaceful and had been ordered to avoid violence by their leader, Muqtada al-Sadr. As at Tahrir Square in Cairo in 2011, of which the invasion of the Green Zone was a distant echo, they chanted "peacefully, peacefully" ( silmiyyah, silmiyyah).
The Bush administration in its years of military occupation of Iraq presided over the installation of an Iraqi spoils system more rowdy and rapacious than anything Andrew Jackson ever imagined. The Bushies and the UN put a parliamentary system in place, so that the parties that form the biggest coalition in the national legislature get to put forward a prime minister, who is appointed by the president. That prime minister then appoints a cabinet, with most cabinet ministers overseeing a ministry. The cabinet appointees came from the parties supporting the prime minister in parliament. Thus, the minister of housing might be from the Da`wa Islamic Party (the Islamic Call or Mission Party), a Shiite fundamentalist group drawn from what's left of the Iraqi middle class and typically led by laymen rather than clergy. The Ministry of Labor would then be packed with members of the Da'wa Party.
Some of this spoils system is rooted in the Debaathification drive of Ahmad Chalabi, Nouri al-Maliki and other Shiite political entrepreneurs who wanted to fire Sunni Arabs from the Iraqi bureaucracy after the fall of Saddam Hussein. They tagged anyone who belonged to the Baath Party as unsuitable for government service, even down to school teachers. And, it wasn't just members of the party but people who had relatives who were members of the party. Most Baath Party members committed no greater crime than conformism (or maybe they wanted to travel; you had to be a member to get a passport). So Chalabi et al. got rid of some 100,000 Sunnis from their government jobs at a time when the Bushies ran the Iraqi state factories and other state-owned companies into the ground because they didn't believe in "socialism." So the Sunnis were just made unemployed.
When Nouri al-Maliki reigned as Prime Minister 2006-2014, his spoils system became ever more corrupt and exclusive. The Sunni Arabs of Iraq were almost entirely excluded from spoils. Members of al-Maliki's Da'wa Party got fabulously rich off the country's oil income. The corruption of his officer corps led directly to the collapse of the Iraqi army at Mosul in 2014, allowing Daesh (ISIS, ISIL) to take over 40% of the country. The sense of deprivation of the Iraqi Sunni Arabs who cooperated with Daesh also drove these events. You couldn't say he was a successful prime minister.
Iraq is what is called by political scientists a "rentier state." That just means that the government gets an income (or "rent") from external payments (in this case foreign purchases of its petroleum). Rentier states famously don't really need their people so much. In ordinary states like the US, a lot of politics is about how much the government will tax the people, and who will get the benefit of government services. In a Rentier state, there are no taxes. Politics is about how much the state officers have to share their bonanza with the people. Wise rentier states share liberally. Iraq's elite is not wise.
Al-Maliki's successor, Haydar al-Abadi, was, like al-Maliki, a leader of the Da'wa Party and continued the spoils system. Other parties complained that Da'wa got the lion's share of lucrative ministerial appointments (and therefore that the party's members got the good government jobs).

I love Lemmy.
Lemmy, by the way, is Lemmy Kilmister — founder, bass guitarist and frontman of British speed-metal band Motorhead.
My Lemmy love isn't something I talk about often (well, not in excruciating detail), primarily because it's one of those things best discussed with someone who already knows something, is curious about, or likes Lemmy and Motorhead. Otherwise, there's little gratification. Having to explain all the backstory, song references, Lemmyisms, etc., is about as much fun as telling a joke and having to explain the punchline. (That reminds me — the post header is the title of a Motorhead song.)
But I'll have a go, because Lemmy is worth discussing. And — did I say? — I love him. Here's why:
He's a nerd. Oh, sure, he wears black leather, drinks Jack Daniels nonstop, chain-smokes, and parties like a rock star. But he also lives in a cramped apartment full of World War II artifacts, stacks of history books, career memorabilia, and keepsakes from his fans. He watches the Discovery Channel and spends his free time obsessively playing a video game at the Rainbow Bar & Grill in Hollywood. The bad-boy thing doesn't appeal to me, but the nerdiness does.
He's got style, Lemmy style. In the '70s, he developed his signature look: long black hair, mustache and muttonchops, skintight black pants, black shirt, Iron Cross necklace, epaulets, flashy knee-high leather boots. The resulting look is rocker-biker-pirate-cowboy-military-punk … Lemmy. The man knows what he likes and isn't afraid to wear it. I respect that. And I do so covet his flamboyant custom-made boots.
He writes lyrics like these:
If you squeeze my lizard, I'll put my snake on you. — Killed by Death, a song for which Lemmy made what's probably the cheesiest music video ever. I LOVE cheese.
Know your body's made to move, you feel it in your guts,
Rock 'n' roll ain't worth the name if it don't make you strut. — Overkill
You win some, lose some, it's still the same to me
The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades. — Ace of Spades
If you compromise your integrity, you should drown in your own blood. — One Short Life
He says things like this:
"You're supposed to laugh in life. Laughing exercises all the facial muscles and keeps you from getting old. Looking stern gives you terrible wrinkles."
About music industry powers that be: "These people treat music purely as a commodity, like selling cans of beans. … Nobody seems to believe in the music anymore. The industry's building all the time, but they're killing the music. They're trying to, anyway, but I won't let them while I'm alive. … People are going to remember me, but the suits will be forgotten."
"Our digestive systems aren't made to handle vegetarian food. It makes you fart all the time and you get intestinal flora. Vegetarianism is unrealistic — that's why cows have four stomachs and we have one."
"It's easy to have good manners — they're free. I don't know why everybody doesn't have them."
Lemmy's funny, outrageous, honest and humble, wears great boots, and will never appear on American Idol. What's not to love?
On May 18, I get to see him perform live. Oh, I am going to love that.

The CPI has found fault with the CPI(M) for skipping the RJD rally in Patna, saying the Left parties should not shy away from the unified fight against BJP citing presence of Congress or others.
Sources said the CPI decided to go ahead with attending the rally last Sunday even after CPI(M) communicating that it would not attend the rally. Usually both parties take a common stand on issues.
CPI(M) had cited the presence of Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee at the rally as well as being seen with RJD chief Lalu Prasad, a convicted politician. A section of the CPI(M) central leadership also argued that CPI(M)'s presence would mean that it was open to an electoral alliance with Congress.
However, CPI sources rubbished the CPI(M) theory saying no secular party in the country can avoid working with a "pan-India party like Congress" at a time the RSS and BJP are "aggressively" pursuing a "regressive agenda to divide the country".
When contacted, CPI National Secretary D Raja told DH, "we are an independent party. We take our own decisions after assessing the political situation. The Left should take real initiatives to fight the fascist forces. Left can play a more effective role."
He said the division on attending the rally would not affect unity among Left parties. CPI General Secretary S Sudhakar Reddy and Raja attended the Patna rally.
CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury defended the decision not to attend the Patna rally while attending rebel JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav's meetings. "The 'save composite culture' movement has got nothing to do with electoral alliances or adjustments. Saving the composite culture is a larger issue," Yechury said adding it cannot take part in any rally of the grand alliance with the Congress.
CPI sources said the Left should strive to build broadest possible alliance of parties to fight the BJP. "This does not mean electoral alliance. We need to have coordination on the ground. Otherwise we will lose the game," a senior CPI leader said.
"The CPI(M) has to assess the political situation and decide. They should understand the RSS-BJP are very aggressive. CPI(M) should see that and take a decision accordingly," the leader said.
A senior CPI(M) leader also echoed these sentiments last week when he said party leadership should understand that it is not strong as it was earlier and it should be seen as relevant.
"CPI(M) has a historic role to play. All parties of Left shade are looking at CPI(M) to play the leadership role. We are now held up on whether to work with Congress. What we are looking at is not electoral alliance but a unified fight against BJP," he had told DH.

Are you in search for a DUI defense lawyer who can represent you in court? Hiring a legal professional who can provide assistance over the entire course of the trial is extremely beneficial, particularly because DUI cases can be severe. A lawyer has a thorough understanding of the court system, plea bargain details and other complicated court procedures which you may not know of. If your case isn't severe, you might be able to do without a DUI lawyer. But if youíre a repeat offender, there is no other choice but to hire one. This article contains useful tips for finding the best DUI attorney to help resolve your case.
Asking questions are the most important thing you should do when choosing a DUI lawyer. Most lawyers provide a free initial consultation. Use this chance to ask all relevant questions to the attorney. Be sure to discuss every single detail of your case. The DUI attorney should be able to provide adequate answers to all of your questions. Otherwise, take it as a red flag. Asking multiple questions also tell the lawyer that you're serious with the case. Remember that lawyers can also choose who they want to work with. By being prepared and asking the right questions, you position yourself as someone he would want to work with.
It is highly recommended only to choose among lawyers that exclusively handle DUI, DWI, or OWI cases. Sure, you can win a case with the help of a lawyer that works with different kinds of cases. But you can measurably increase your chances of winning if you work with a DUI attorney. Be sure to ask how long he has been in practice and what he has done during those years. Keep in mind that the length of his career isn't always the best indication of the quality of service he can provide.
Don't forget to ask whether the lawyer has handled a similar case in the past. It would be very reassuring to learn if the lawyer you're considering to hire has won a similar case. On the flip side, you should steer clear of any lawyer who views your case as totally new. Also, determine whether the lawyer you are speaking to is the one who will defend you in court. Understand that lawyers usually work in a team, which means the lawyer could pass your case to another.
Itís also important that you feel comfortable working with the attorney. You might have to be in constant communication with him for months. This is why establishing an efficient communication system right from the start is essential. Ask how the lawyer plans to update you regarding your case. Never hesitate to open up about legal expenses as well. The most qualified DUI attorneys should be able to give you a precise amount. Talk about whether there might be any potential costs in the long run. Also, settle the payment options.
These tips should come a long way in finding the right DUI defense lawyer. Remember to talk to several lawyers so you can compare the prices they offer as well as their qualifications.

One big downside to water fasting is that it induces fasting-acidosis: A condition where blood pH drops to unsafe levels during the fast. Fasting acidosis can lead to acid reflux, nausea, and heartburn, among other effects.

Ashington Cricket Club's first XI skipper Greg Williams was delighted on two fronts on Saturday after his outfit had brushed Percy Main aside in their latest challenge in the A1 division.
Williams was beaming following a third win in a row, but was equally upbeat as the Wansbeck outfit occupy third spot in the division.
The skipper stressed before the start of the campaign that it would be a tough league, and for the Colliers to match last year's achievement as runners-up would be difficult.
However, he said after the 107-run success over the Villagers: "This was a good result. A couple of weeks before the start of the season, my prediction was for us to aim for a top four or five place – and so far we are on course.
"We will just keep going and see what comes from it."
"We didn't make a great start today as we lost both Neil Wood and Ani Singh to good deliveries, but from a tricky situation Jack Jessop and Ben O'Brien pulled it back around for us with two tremendous knocks.
"It was a great effort on their part and even though we didn't have an extra push towards the end, I'd have backed ourselves to defend 240 at the start of game."
"We made a slow start when we bowled our first couple of overs but it was a huge bonus for us when we got the big wicket of Barry Stewart.
"We then got another couple but the weather was always a worry with black clouds lurking at times, even when they were nine wickets down.
"We knew one heavy shower could take the game away from us but we got through and I'm very happy."

With the surge of technology in consumerism, it is no surprise that e-waste is the fastest growing type of waste on the planet right now. E-waste still has valuable information which can be extracted and cause you or your company potential damage. There is also the threat that e-waste has on the environment if not properly disposed of. In order to protect yourself, your company, as well as the environment, be sure to follow three simple rules to recycle your electronic waste.
The first rule is to do some research on your recycler. It is important to gather as much information as to where to recycle e-waste, because each recycling company is different. Despite the growing number of e-waste companies, there are only a few you should be looking at. You must make sure the company you choose is certified by R2 Solutions or e-Stewards. This will ensure that your e-waste is properly recycled so that no harm comes to the environment and that all of your data will remain private. These standards also ensure that there is accountability all throughout the disposition process. Avoid companies that say they will work with certified recyclers eventually or later in their process because it leaves your information not fully protected.
The second rule is to realize that if it's too good to be true, it probably is. Although you will find many "free" recycling services, if you want things done right, you will have to pay for it. When you use "free" services, you will likely run into two risks. The first risk imposes the possibility of the company likely cutting corners, resulting in harm to the environment. The second risk may be that the company can even sell your equipment – along with all your information – to the highest bidder. Either situation is one that should be avoided.
The third and final rule to follow is to create a formal plan for disposition and make sure to follow it. In February of this year, the National Institute of Standards and Technology issued a new Cybersecurity Framework that established the best ways to ensure data security. They strongly suggest for all assets to be "formally managed throughout the removal, transfers, and disposition." When creating your own data security plan, make sure that it includes a rule that mandates the use of certified recyclers for all your electronic and IT asset disposition. This will be a surefire way to keep your company safe from stolen information while doing your part to keep the environment clean.

Yuri Ebihara's movie from a TV commercial(Anessa, Shiseidou). There are five Ebichans in bikinis.
Advertisement of American TV show "The O.C." for rental in Japan. With the lovely Japanese model Yuri Ebihara.
She plays with spelling of "O.C." and "oishii" (means delicious in Japanese).
Yuri Ebihara (蛯原友里, Ebihara Yuri, born October 3, 1979 in Sadowara, Miyazaki Prefecture) is a Japanese model and actress. She is a graduate of Kyushu Sangyo University, where she studied fine arts.
Her first big break came as a model for CanCam, with whom she had an exclusive contract. She then went on to appear in several TV dramas, most recently "Tokumei Kakarich? Tadano Hitoshi" (tv asahi, 2007).
Ebihara is widely known by her nickname, "Ebi-chan," which is based on the first character of her family name. Newspapers and television often drop the appellation chan. Ebi means "shrimp," and Ebihara has been used by McDonald's Japan to promote their fried shrimp burger.
She is currently the campaign girl for the Fujifilm FinePix range of digital camera.
Ebihara is especially popular with young women. She has been quoted as saying, "If someone doesn't find me cute, I want to know why because then I'll work on it to get better at being cute"(wiki).

Some days I am a fizz of adrenaline and avoidance. I am like a bee buzzing around and doing everything but the things that need doing. You see, I suffer from anxiety. I can become anxious about public speaking, anxious about running workshops, travel or looming deadlines and anxious about social situations. Yup, all that.
It actually took me a long time to realise this elevated fear was not something everyone feels all the time and that it might be something I could do something about. In part because my feelings of anxiety lurk inside, and don't always express themselves outwardly, it wasn't something others could see or help me see in myself. I didn't realise that 11 out of 10 nerves for some work tasks wasn't something everyone has. It took a long time to realise that the mismatch between what I can do and what I believe I can do was so large, and that I was seeing a huge gaping abyss where others saw a jaunty bridge. 'Competent but not confident' someone once described it.
What a pain, right?
Who wants that?
Don't we all want to be cool, calm and collected, slouching along our way like a yesteryear cowboy or lounging like a glamorous sequined screen siren – slick and relaxed, insouciant, luxuriating in life? Not a frizzy, buzzing, pained, hand wringing person.
So let me introduce you to my anxiety. My anxiety grows bigger and subterranean when the tasks I am facing appear too big for me (something 'high stakes' or new that I feel like I am not likely to do well at) or when they begin to be tinged with guilt. My anxiety has a habit of snowballing, especially when I feel like I'm letting other people down. A horrible cycle of fear – avoidance – guilt emerges when I start to feel I am letting someone down by not doing the task that needs doing (the task I am avoiding because I feel too scared to do it).
Left unchecked, anxiety leads me to avoidance, which leads me to guilt, which leads me to more anxiety. If I ignore it, and try to busy myself through it, I can get lost in the feelings of anxiety and my desperate wish to run fast enough that they can't catch me.
So… what can we do to manage these feelings and function despite them? Can we learn to love our anxiety or quotient it or to work with it?
For me, one of the simplest things that I find works is twofold – naming and nurturing.
By naming I mean acknowledging to myself that I am feeling anxious, but beyond that, actually speaking the fears to someone else; a trusted friend, a therapist, mentor or coach. The more anxious I become, the less likely it is I have spoken with someone about the concern. Sometimes when we feel 'silly' for being worried about something that we perceive as trivial or not worthy of fear we censor ourselves and find the fears going unspoken. They persist, but forced underground they grow unchecked and can drive our behaviours in ways we don't even understand. When I name it, and speak it out I often hear myself explaining it in ways that reveal to me why the fear is justified, normal, to be expected. I validate my own feelings by acknowledging them, and by hearing the other person accept them at face value with curiosity and empathy.
By nurturing I mean flooding myself with alternate messages that honour my feelings and bolster my mood. I tell myself things that make me feel safe and loved. I try to follow these up with nurturing actions of preparation and support for the task. My experience of anxiety is silent – just a silent wide eyed, unsupported and terrified feeling. On the other hand my experience of nurturing self talk is that I unclench, I breathe, I relax. My nurturing self talk might be acknowledging the situation ('gosh, no wonder you're scared, it's a new thing you're doing', 'wow, yes, this is a big week, take care of yourself'), reducing the perceived risk ('oh well, so long as you go and give it a try and learn something it will all have been worthwhile'), and generally reminding myself that I am loved no matter the outcome, that I can live with the outcome ('I forgive you for being flawed, and for procrastinating, and for being scared, I love and forgive you even if you are late, or that task is overdue, or you are avoiding things'). As I say it I realise it is true, and my focus enlarges from beyond the anxious core, teetering on the abyss, to a more expansive landscape with solid ground under my feet.
There can even be protective wisdom in our anxiety – a reminder to attend to our needs, or be wary of situations that have been uncomfortable in the past. In my experience though, anxiety is like a dog barking in the night at an unfamiliar noise, our self caring and nurturing aspects are like the adult who gets up to check what the noise is all about and decides what to do with it. Anxiety is loud information, but it can't always tell the postman from the burglar.
As an art therapist, this is ongoing work I need to do for myself, for my own self-care, and to create a flourishing base from which to work with others. Anxiety is a very familiar way of being for me, and while I have much longer periods now when it lies dormant, when it reappears I have to work through it anew each time, using tools I continue to practice. It also means my experience and understanding of anxiety is fresh and 3 dimensional – not just a word and theory I have studied but a flesh and bones experience. The gift of this in my work is that I understand how scary it can be to come to a group for example, or how unsettling the first meeting with a new therapist can be for one on one sessions. I also understand how there can be 'good weeks' and 'bad weeks' that seem to appear like the weather, or periods when we are more unsettled and prone to reacting in an anxious way. I strive to make the therapeutic process accessible and gentle, so that clients feel safe and can relax enough to share something of themselves in an authentic way.
In art therapy we talk about developing the witness, the inner voice of the witness who can observe what we are doing with kind impartiality, right alongside that part of us that feels deeply. We also work with clients to develop new thinking cycles that are affirming rather than negating. Importantly, in transpersonal art therapy, we make space for the feelings to be heard, and for the client to be lovingly accepted exactly as they are, with anxious feelings and self judgement and all. We help create a more nurturing inner voice by providing space for them to get beyond the daily chatter and into a place of contemplation and reflection. We model a stable and accepting self, we also empower the client to find this in themselves.
For immediate help for anxiety or depression if you are in Australia you can contact Beyond Blue or Lifeline day or night. ReachOut is also a great resource for young people on a variety of mental health and life challenges, with resources about bullying, friendships, relationships and issues like anxiety. This helpful information sheet describes a range of anxiety disorders. In Victoria there is also the Anxiety Recovery Centre that runs specialised groups on different types of anxiety. It may also be useful to speak with your Doctor if you have concerns about your health or mental health.
I currently have some spaces becoming available for one on one coaching and art therapy clients.
- In coaching I support you to work towards your goals, making changes that you want to make in your life. In coaching we approach the practicalities of getting things done – with clever tricks to get around anxiety and lots of support and encouragement (aka a personal cheer squad) so you feel less afraid to tackle the difficult tasks. See here for more information.
- In art therapy I help you process and express feelings in ways that let you see yourself and your situation in new ways. We make room for the feeling dimensions of life and explore your inner world using symbols and metaphor and creative expression. We can do art therapy face to face if you are in Sydney, or by distance if you are elsewhere around the world. See here for more information and contact me here to get in touch.

Announcement to
The Scots School Community
29 August 2017
On behalf of the Trustees of the Presbyterian Church of Australia in NSW, we are very pleased to announce that the Bishop in Council and the All Saints' College Council have accepted our offer under an Expression of Interest to purchase All Saints' College.
The opportunity to bring together two leading Protestant schools in Bathurst as one is an aspiration that many individuals in our two churches and our two school communities have prayed about for a long time.
The Trustees of the Presbyterian Church are privileged to be provided with this opportunity by the Bishop in Council and the All Saints' College Council. We wish to assure The Scots School community, and the school community at All Saints' College, of our desire to combine the best of our two schools together into one school that glorifies God, and in which present and future generations of students will be proud.
The Trustees and the Board of The Scots School Bathurst believe this will benefit the students, staff and parents of both schools and expand the educational opportunities in the City of Bathurst.
While we will be working through a due diligence process over the next few weeks, we wish to provide the following assurances to the parents and staff of both schools:
1. We are committed to the continuity of education and the staffing structures of both schools for 2018. Parents of current Year 10 and Year 11 students can be assured of the continuity of their children's subject choices for the HSC without change.
2. The student leadership of both schools will not change in 2018.
3. We will form a working group with representatives from both schools to develop a change management plan for 2019 and following years. This will include review of the name of the combined school, structure, and a myriad of other decisions that will naturally arise from the bringing together of two schools.
4. Although we cannot promise, our strong preference is to maintain and operate two campuses for current and future generations of students, and the purchase of All Saints will not require the sale of any property.
While this announcement may cause some parents, students and staff, some anxiety in the immediate short term, we wish to assure you of our considered approach to the governance and combined structure of the two schools. We will not be rushing into decisions, but will be seeking to facilitate a close working relationship involving representatives from both the school communities as we plan for the future.
We believe the merger of two respected schools in Bathurst will provide students with a wider choice of subjects and co-curricular opportunities at every level of their education and will provide students of both schools with enhanced opportunities to develop their interests and character.
The coming together of the two schools will show that Bathurst, as a leading regional city in NSW, will be well served by its schools in the State, Roman Catholic and Protestant sectors. This should give present and prospective parents of students the assurance that their children will be educated in a way that suits their abilities and develops their potential.
We expect that the purchase process will be conducted professionally and speedily over the next few weeks.
Again, on behalf of the Trustees of the Presbyterian Church of Australia in NSW, and The Scots School Bathurst Board, we wish to assure all staff, parents and students of our commitment to the education of our students to the highest standards, within a Christian worldview.
