The Paris Commune of 1871 ended mangled and defeated. Its demise was both tragic and predictable. Terrible things happen when impractical idealists stake their lives against the great monolithic institutions of society.
Ever since, leftist activists and revolutionaries have looked on the Communards as heroes for establishing a socialist government that faced the regular army at blood-washed barricades. Some of these later thinkers were Marxists. Some were anarchists, following the ideas of Proudhon: "Property is theft."
I can't help but see the bravery of the Communards as intensely pathetic. I'm not inspired by their deeds as much as horrified by their fate. But I dwell for a while on the story of one of this band of radicals, the artist Gustave Courbet, who survived the "Bloody Week" that ended the Commune's brief rule of Paris, only to be thrown in jail and heavily fined. Authorities blamed him for the Commune's toppling of the Vendome Column with its statue of Napoleon.
Courbet was an anarchist in the Proudhon mold—in spirit, if not on strict ideological grounds. He was at any rate one who would have delighted in the disappearance of confining social institutions. He knew Proudhon and painted a picture of him with his family.
Courbet had actually proposed that the giant Vendome Column be disassembled, not destroyed, and re-erected at the Invalides, the site of Napoleon's tomb. It seemed to him that the monument didn't belong in a large public square. He argued that the column was "devoid of all artistic value" and perpetuated militaristic ideas of the imperial dynasty unsuited to a republican nation. "Citizen Courbet expresses the wish that the National Defense government will authorize him to disassemble this column," he petitioned.
But the column was knocked over on May 16 with no plan to rebuild it. The massive statue of Napoleon with his pseudo-Roman laurel wreath and toga lay helplessly on its back, gazing up from the cobblestones. It wasn't the first time the bronze Napoleon had been disrespected. In 1816, after Waterloo, a mob had attached a cable to his bronze neck and tried unsuccessfully to topple him. In the period of the Bourbon Restoration, he was melted down and used in a recast equestrian statue of Henri IV—which had itself been destroyed in the French Revolution. The "Citizen King" Louis-Philippe brought him back to life, clothing him in boots, jacket, and tricorn hat rather than toga. Napoleon III rejected this modest bourgeois dress and reincarnated him in the Roman attire with a sword in his left hand and a globe topped with a statue of Victory in his right. (Any self-respecting emperor can easily juggle this sort of paraphernalia.)
Courbet was held responsible for the heinous deed and sentenced September 2, 1871, to six months in prison and a fine of 500 francs.
But when he'd served his time, the authorities still weren't done with him. In 1873, Patrice de MacMahon was elected president of the newly established Third Republic. A conservative—a monarchist, in fact—MacMahon decided to rebuild the column. In a clearcut case of double jeopardy, Courbet was made a scapegoat for the Commune and condemned to pay the costs. He'd always been disliked by the Establishment. The court didn't even prove that Courbet was among the crowd that brought down the monument.
It took four years for the cost of restoring the column to be determined. In the meantime, Courbet exiled himself to Switzerland, sick of the publicity and no doubt hoping to avoid the crushing financial obligation. But he was watched by French intelligence officers. On May 4, 1877, the cost was announced: 323,091 francs and 68 centimes. The court would graciously allow him to pay the amount in annual installments of 10,000 francs for the next 33 years—until he was age 91.
Since he left France, Courbet had been drinking heavily. He had to deal not only with the financial burden but also the deaths of his mother, his son, and his sister within a few years. The pace of self-destruction accelerated, and he died of liver disease at age 59 on December 31, 1877, a day before the first installment came due.
He always scorned the institutions that most people rely on for security and comfort. At the age of 50 he said, I have always lived in freedom; let me end my life free; when I am dead let this be said of me: "He belonged to no school, to no church, to no institution, to no academy, least of all to any regime except the regime of liberty."

Grime artist Shardz tells us all about his new event 'Grime Roots'.
Not only was it a night of cohesion, excitement and mad bars; it was a night of togetherness in the UK Christian Rap community that we haven't seen for a time.
There was a bright spark of collaboration on the stage with various artists old and new. It was a winner for sure for the neutral who wanted to come down and see a lit show. Shelling on stage, mad hype for the most wavey flows.
What a really solid night, put on by Shardz and the Grime Roots team.
There was so much good talent on display all pushing the greater message of the hope in Jesus. The faith of all the artist shone through. Even off the backs of strenuous lifestyles before their conversion, the light and hope of Jesus shone through.

When I was a young girl I used to look at the handbags in my mother's closet, I was in admiration when she went out with matching handbag and shoes, I would peek from behind the door while she prepared herself to leave.
My affair with handbags started early.
A lifetime later and I have designed handbags on 3 continents, from the high-street fashion stores of Vienna and London to the exotics of Africa.
I have always believed in an ethos of quality, beauty, balance elegance and sustainability.
I studied fashion design, handbag design, earned my handbag Mastercraftsman designation, and after years in the industry, decided I needed the freedom to do what I want to do. For the last 10 years I have been making handbags.
I see beautiful handbags as art, oversized jewellery, objects of desire.
It was the smell of leather, the touch and the texture that first led me down this road. Africa taught me to love sunsets. Years of working with high-end exotics in South Africa grew my appreciation and eventually my passion for the most unique and versatile exotic leather of them all, ostrich.
I believe in the longevity of a product, the design and the materials, it should last a lifetime. Add to this ethically sourced raw materials handcrafted with a labour of love.
All of my handbags are designed, developed and handmade to order in my Toronto studio. Pick one up, touch it, look inside, compare it, you too will realize it's for you to love and treasure.

6 Minute Read
Exodus 5:22–7:25
Matthew 18:21–19:12
Psalm 23:1-6
Proverbs 5:22-23
Psalm 23:4 (CSB) "Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff—they comfort me."
The twenty-third psalm is easily the most well known psalm and is probably one of the most heart-warming.
When we take a closer look at the psalm, we realize that King David wrote it. That is helpful information to know because David was keenly aware of the relationship between sheep and their shepherd when he wrote Psalm 23.
Just listen to a time when David talked to King Saul and told him about how seriously he took his job as a shepherd…
1 Samuel 17:34-35 "David answered Saul: 'Your servant has been tending his father's sheep. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock, I went after it, struck it down, and rescued the lamb from its mouth. If it reared up against me, I would grab it by its fur, strike it down, and kill it.'"
David knew how deeply he cared for his sheep. He knew that he had repeatedly put himself in harm's way to protect his sheep. With him as their shepherd, his sheep were well-cared for and well-protected. They were in need of nothing.
But, as David penned Psalm 23, he switched roles. He wasn't the shepherd caring for his sheep. Instead, he was the sheep being cared for by the Great Shepherd.
Psalm 23:1 (CSB) "The LORD is my shepherd; …"
There are a lot of wonderful truths in this Psalm but I want to focus on verse 4.
Psalm 23:4 (CSB) "Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff—they comfort me."
Continuing with the idea that he is a sheep that belongs to the Lord, he said a few things that can provide us with so much comfort.
First, he acknowledged that he wouldn't fear any danger when going through the darkest of valleys.
It would seem that David was saying: "Even when life gets hard and I don't know how it's going to work out, I don't get overwhelmed with fear. I don't worry about bad things happening to me. Why? Because I'm not going through it alone. You, Lord, are with me."
David's relationship with his God was so real and so powerful that he didn't get anxious or afraid when life got hard. He knew that his God was watching over him and nothing, absolutely nothing, could happen to him unless it passed through the hands of his God. And he was so convinced of his God's infinite power that he knew that nothing and nobody was so powerful that God couldn't overrule and defeat them. So, his faith in his God allowed him to "fear no danger."
But, second, he also mentioned something else that comforted him…
Psalm 23:4 (CSB) "Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff—they comfort me."
David drew comfort from the fact that his Shepherd had two very useful pieces of wood in His hands – a rod and a staff.
The rod was essentially a club and the staff was a tall, slender stick with a hook at the end.
The rod was used to beat an animal that tried to harm the sheep. The staff was used to gently pull a wayward sheep back toward the shepherd.
So, David said God had the ability to beat off whatever would bring harm. Further, he said that God had the ability to gently pull him, David, back into relationship when he strayed from his God.
What did David think of the truths of God's ability to protect him and pull him back in when he strayed? "They comfort me."
Friend, these things are true of you, too, if you are a Jesus-follower.
When life gets hard, really hard(!), all you need to do is look over your shoulder and acknowledge that Jesus is there with you. You aren't alone. You are never alone! Jesus is walking through it with you.
When evil comes your way, the only things that can happen to you are what God allows through His hands. Yes, bad things may happen but they were allowed by your Great Shepherd and it is for your ultimate good (Romans 8:28). Everything else is going to get clubbed by an Almighty God who is using His rod.
When you stray from the Lord into sin or spiritual lethargy, God will gently use His staff to pull you back in toward Himself. He loves you so much and He knows you need Him. So, He will do whatever He has to do in order to get you back closer to Him.
Friend, these are wonderful truths. Why not read through Psalm 23 again but do it slowly and reflectively. Personalize the truths. And find such great comfort in knowing that you are God's sheep. He loves you and is watching over you and providing for you.

Don't Require Yourself to be "On" All Day Everyday
Dear Everyone,
I don't know if you have had the similar feelings in the last week or so, but I seem to have reverted to Old Age problem solving techniques and I have had very little interest in channeling or connecting to the spiritual realms. I suppose we will learn today what that was or is all about….but then again, maybe not. I'm learning to "Go "with the flow." Now let's see what my sources have to relay to us today.
Dear Ones,
Brenda has tapped an extremely important piece of information in her analysis of what has happened to her and through her in the last few days. Your movement into the New Age is not going to be a straight line. Please do not expect an observable movement from point A to point B. Your transition is not a mathematical equation, it is your life. And as is true for all life on earth, variables are a daily part of your known reality.
Some of you may berate yourself when you do not feel "in the flow," or even care that there is a flow. Instead of berating yourself during such instances, realize the worth of your observation.
You are in the process of a major transition at the mid-point of your current life and yet you expect it to be as easy and clean as pulling out a new sheet of paper. Of course, there will be times when you are tired of the transition process. Of course, there will be times when others will try to encourage you to return to your Old Age activities. And of course, there will be times when you do not feel like doing anything in the spiritual realms.
Do you remember other major transition in your life – perhaps a death or divorce? Did you not allow yourself to experience grieving, anger and just plain apathy? Why do you suppose this transition is any different? You have lived your entire life with one set of expectations – expectations that are no longer valued. Of course, there is a grieving process. But more to the point for Brenda and many of you, sheer exhaustion.
You cannot expect your physical being to be "on" all day, everyday throughout this transition process. You will need rest stops, as did Brenda in these last few days.
Your Old Age behavior patterns are so deeply ingrained that you will often feel most comfortable reverting to Old Age behavior patterns during this transition. Let us explain. You have read many stories about men or women who marry an alcoholic only to divorce that alcoholic and marry another. Most often, a little research will indicate that such a difficult pattern was developed in early childhood as they observed the addictions of one or both of their parents. Even though marriage to an alcoholic is painful to them, it is familiar and therefore comfortable – in an uncomfortable fashion.
Allow yourself to revert to your familiar behavior patterns when it feels right to do so. That is the function of the phrase, "Go with the Flow."
In the Old Age, you would have "worked" to combat any behaviors that did not fit the pattern you wished to create. The New Age is not about work, but rather a graceful and fun-loving acceptance of who you are, where you are emotionally and yes, physically. That is your reality. You created that reality for a reason.
Perhaps you need an emotional rest. That is fine. Perhaps you do not wish to explore this New Age any further. That is fine. Maybe you need to circle back to the Old Age to comfort a family member or friend. Or maybe you just feel like it.
There are no rules in the New Age. And there are no correct behavior patterns.
For you to feel as if you should do or be something other than what you want to be at that very moment, is in fact to say that you do not wish to be part of the New Age.
The New Age is about freedom – for you and for everyone else. Just as you allow others to move in the direction that is correct for them, allow yourself the same. And by doing so, you will return to your New Age dreams, visions and actions much more rapidly than if you try to force yourself into the very same movements you have known throughout the Old Age. You are free, as is the person next to you and as is everyone on earth.
Allow that freedom to include moving at a pace and direction that is correct for your inner being, and you will discover and enter the New Age. Force yourself to be part of the New Age and you will remain in the Old Age.
Ah. What a fun thought – flow and you are free, force yourself and you are in a cage. So be it. Amen.

Gratitude attunes us to the immense value of what actually exists now. Simply being alive, that we have our senses, or a family, or a mind. given how much there always is to be disappointed by, afraid of, or mad at, this focus requires a powerful act of mind. I will have to remember that I have a wife that has loved me for forty years, not her nasty comment at dinner last night or the way she forgot our anniversary. I will have to focus on my ability to walk, even though I've hurt my foot and can't play in the weekly basketball game I enjoy so much. I appreciate the birch tree outside my window, rather than bitterly envying the folks that get to hike in Colorado. In these mental movements I grasp what the Talmud had in mind when it defined wealth not as a particular quantity of money, but as being satisfied with what one has.
The second element of gratitude is the sense that these precious things we have are a kind of gift. Did we earn the existence of music in the world? the flowers in spring? the mysterious intelligence of our eyes? Do we "deserve" them? In the realm of gratitude we do not….
Oddly, no matter how much more pleasant it is to focus on the good rather than the bad, we must make a repeated conscious desire to cultivate gratitude. And this is true whether we believe we are thanking our Creator or are simply enjoying the miracle that we are alive. The tendency to focus on the negative is every bit as "natural," or at least as widespread, as any capacity for joyful appreciation. As Aldous Huxley suggested, "Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted." Fear, regret, a burning resentment that we were cheated out of our just deserts, desperate longing for something that is out of reach—all these possess a powerful emotional magnetism that binds our thoughts to the painful. That is why the spirituality of gratitude requires the hard, recurring choice to focus on this rather than that, to feel better rather than feel worse.
Just because it requires shifting attention from one kind of thing to another, gratitude is as much an active act of will as a moment of grace.
- Roger S. Gottlieb, "Gratitude: An Active Act of Will," Patheos.com, 5/26/11.

Malaysian budget airline AirAsia plans to launch the ICO to Finance its expansion in the financial services sector.
CEO of AirAsia Tony Fernandes has told about company plans on development of their own crypto currency, which would replace the current bonus program Loyalty and Big to serve as the national currency on the nascent platform.
"We have two very interesting developments that are relevant to ICO.

That is, we have a product that can be currency in the Big Loyalty… We are building a payment platform to integrate all of them. We have an ecosystem that will allow the use of this currency.

Looking for a Folding Adirondack Chair for your patio, garden, deck or poolside area? The market is now turning to taking this classic style of outdoor furniture and giving it a more versatile appeal. You have several options to choose from to adorn the great outdoors with the classic Adirondack style made popular in the northeast states so long ago.
These days we are all looking for ways to bring the comforts and convenience of the interior of our homes to the exterior of our homes. Outdoor patio furniture can now be found in a variety of styles and sizes too. Children's Adirondack style furniture is on the rise. The folding Adirondack chair offers portability for easy storage and folds down to a size that is easily tucked away for the winter months.
Though the Adirondack style furniture has been around for quite some time little details have changed to make them more and more comfortable. The latest craze has dealt with the issue of storage for all those in the northeast who which to save their outdoor furniture from the harsh, cold winters and all those snowbirds that want to pack up their patio for the summer months. Folding Adirondack Chairs are your answer. Consumer's choice so far has been to go with the poly lumber folding Adirondack chair. Not only is it convenient to store with its quick fold ability but it also is made out of recycled poly lumber that is built and designed to last a lifetime. Poly lumber is HDPE plastic lumber made from recycled milk jugs. It guarantees not to rush, split, rot or need sanding or refinishing to maintain its beauty. The folding Adirondack chair still sports the classic style you would expect from an Adirondack chair but it now offers a quick fold for easy storage and convenience.
We have also found that although the Adirondack chair is designed for folding it does not lose any of its stability or durability. Folding Adirondack chairs are also available in traditional lumber. Many people who are looking to furnish the deck of their boat have opted for folding Adirondack chairs for their folding space saver ability. Many of the ottomans that are sold to complement the folding Adirondack chair can easily fold and store right next to the chair.
Colors available in the folding Adirondack chair are being added each year to incorporate those who desire the traditional look as well as the bright, vivid look of the tropics. Folding Adirondack chairs are convenient but will require a bit of muscle to move the chair since they still average about 35 pounds. Once you make your decision you will be sitting back, relaxing and forgetting about it all!

08-05-2019 | Diabetes | News | Article
Need for multiple risk factor control highlighted in comorbid diabetes, heart disease
medwireNews: People with diabetes and stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD) are more likely to have long-term survival when they have a greater number of risk factors controlled at prespecified therapeutic goals, research shows.
Specifically, having at least three risk factors under control, particularly those associated with lifestyle behaviors along with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), was associated with a significantly reduced risk for death among 592 participants of the COURAGE trial who had both diabetes and SIHD.
Based on their findings, GB John Mancini (University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada) and co investigators believe: "There is an urgent need to develop better strategies to support the attainment of secondary prevention goals [in these patients]".
The randomized COURAGE trial compared the effects of adding percutaneous coronary intervention to optimal medical therapy (OMT) in over 2000 patients with SIHD. Participants had systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, smoking status, physical activity level, adherence to the American Heart Association Step 2 diet, and BMI assessed at baseline and 1 year later. Those with diabetes also had HbA1c measured.
The current post-hoc analysis showed that just 2% of the participants with both diabetes and SIHD achieved the preset target for all seven risk factors at 1 year. The highest rate of goal attainment was for not smoking, at 85%, whereas the lowest attainment rate was for BMI, where only 10% were below 25.0 kg/m2 or had at least 10% weight loss if their baseline BMI was above 27.5 kg/m2.
During an additional 7-year mean follow-up period, 186 (31.4%) participants with diabetes and SIHD died, giving a mortality rate of 4.5% per year.
On multivariate analysis, participants who achieved the goals for no smoking, physical activity (at least 150 min of moderate physical activity/week), diet adherence, and HbA1c (<7.0%) at 1 year had a significantly lower risk for death during follow-up than those not achieving each goal, with hazard ratios (HR) ranging from 0.49 to 0.67.
Individuals who achieved three of the seven goals (n=158) had a 65% lower risk for death than those achieving none or one, and the risk reduction increased with a greater number of goals achieved – for people who achieved six or seven goals (n=61), the risk reduction was 87%.
Furthermore, the researchers calculated that the risk for death fell by 17% with each additional target met.
Mancini and co-authors conclude in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology that their findings are "compatible with the basic principles underlying all diabetes and ischemic heart disease guidelines."
Nonetheless, they add that "the prominent finding that [Hb]A1c control was associated with long-term survival deserves emphasis because achievement of [Hb]A1c goals specifically for cardiovascular protection remains controversial and is not currently emphasized in cardiology practice."
In an accompanying editorial, Michael Farkouh and Lucas Godoy, both from the University of Toronto in Ontario, Canada, say the study "underscores the importance of lifestyle interventions, brings the role of glycemic control (not necessarily related to a specific drug) back to the frontline, and reinforces just how difficult it is to control multiple risk factors in the secondary prevention setting."
And they add that the findings are "a timely reminder that the [cardiovascular] community should double up their efforts to ensure compliance with lifestyle interventions."

Appearing to have avoided the worst in a slowdown of electricity bill payments by customers, power utility PPC, whose revenue figures have gradually recovered to approach pre-pandemic levels, is now striving to offer its first of two securitization packages, a small-scale version concerning unpaid receivables of up to 60 days, in June.
PPC has yet to decide whether this package, which could rake in approximately 200 million euros for the utility, will be offered concurrently with a bigger, higher-risk securitization package containing unpaid receivables of more than 90 days. Its revenue potential for PPC is estimated at 300 million euros.
Regardless of when PPC decides to offer its large-scale securitization package, the smaller version will definitely go ahead as soon as possible, within June, if this is feasible, energypress sources informed.
Market sentiment will be instrumental in PPC's decision. Fluctuating stock markets over the past few months have spooked the investment community. Global market indices have been at the mercy of breakthrough prospects for a coronavirus vaccine.
The resulting insecurity is expected to subdue price levels investors will be prepared to offer PPC for its large-scale, higher-risk securitization package. PPC already feels more comfortable about moving ahead with the small-scale securitization package of lower-risk, short-term unpaid receivables, less susceptible to market conditions.

National revenue minister asks CRA to investigate B.C. real estate speculators
B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong has said the CRA must be diligent in enforcing the law in order to maintain the confidence of taxpayers.
OTTAWA — National Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier has asked the Canada Revenue Agency to look into the actions of real estate speculators in B.C. following a newspaper investigation.
The Globe and Mail reported on the weekend that some foreign investors allegedly profit in buying homes in B.C. while evading taxes.
The federal minister says she is concerned by the allegations and has asked the CRA to look into them.
The request by Lebouthillier follows comments by B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong, who said the CRA must be diligent in enforcing the law in order to maintain the confidence of taxpayers.
De Jong says the 15 per cent tax on foreign homebuyers introduced in Vancouver last month was intended to address some of the issues raised in the Globe and Mail story, but did not specify whether the government would be taking any new actions.

H.Res. 152 is being considered on the floor under suspension of the rules, requiring a two-thirds majority vote for passage. This legislation was introduced by Representative John Tanner (D-TN) on February 10, 2009.
H.Res. 152 resolves that it is the sense of the House of Representatives that:
• "The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is to be commended for its pivotal role in preserving trans-Atlantic peace and stability;
• "NATO continues to be the premier institution that promotes a uniquely trans-Atlantic perspective and approach to issues concerning the interests and security of North America and Europe;
• "The NATO allies, at the Summit meeting to be held in Strasbourg, France, and Kehl, Germany, in April 2009, should articulate a concrete vision for the Alliance in the 21st century, clearly setting out the continued importance of NATO for the citizens of the Allied nations;
• "The Alliance should begin considering a new strategic concept that takes into account the changing international security environment, reaffirms the Alliance's functional and symbolic purposes, and outlines how to develop its military capabilities accordingly;
• "The Alliance, while maintaining collective defense as its core function, should, as a fundamental Alliance task, continue to identify and address new areas where it can provide added value in tackling future threats outside the NATO treaty area, based on case-by-case consensual Alliance decision;
• "The Alliance should make clear commitments to remedy shortfalls in areas such as logistics, command, control, communications, intelligence, ground surveillance, readiness, deployability, mobility, sustainability, survivability, armaments cooperation, and effective engagement;
• "The Alliance must ensure equitable sharing of contributions to the NATO operations, common budgets, and overall defense expenditure and capability building;
• "The Alliance must recognize and act upon the threat posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and terrorism by intensifying consultations among political and military leaders, and consider alternative capabilities to counter these threats to the international community;
• "The Alliance should pace the process of NATO enlargement and remain prepared to extend invitations for accession negotiations to any appropriate European democracy meeting the criteria for NATO membership as established in the Alliance's 1995 Study on NATO Enlargement;
• "While maintaining its unequivocal right to make its own decisions, NATO should seek to strengthen its relations with Russia as an essential partner in building long-term peace in the Euro-Atlantic area; and
• "The Alliance should fully support the NPA's activities in continuing to deepen cooperation within the Alliance to forge strong links with associate and observer nations."
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was formed in 1949 by the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty. NATO is comprised of 26 countries in Europe and North America, including the United States. The fundamental role of NATO is to safeguard the freedom and security of its member countries by political and military means. The organization is founded on the principles of democracy, individual liberty, and the rule of law. Through the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), NATO is helping to establish the conditions in which Afghanistan can enjoy a representative government and self-sustaining peace and security. The Alliance took over command and coordination of ISAF in August 2003. NATO will hold a 60th anniversary summit meeting on April 4, 2009, at Strasbourg, France, and Kehl, Germany.

A few weeks ago, while I was helping my husband pick out a suit for a work-related trip we passed by a department store and this shoe made me stop and produce several inaudible fawning sounds.
Beautiful black leather, high-cut Chuck Taylors. I wanted it. I have been trying to save more money and keep unnecessary expenses down though, so I rationalized that it could be an advance birthday gift to myself. For my 35th birthday. Then I placed it back on the shelf. My husband asked if I wanted him to buy it for me. I had to ask him: "Is it wrong that I'll be 35 and I'm drooling over Chuck Taylors like I did when I was 21?" I asked because I knew my-sneaker-loving-husband who thinks heels are impractical would answer "Of course not!" And I had to ask because I could hear my annoying, judgmental 21-year-old self in my head, asking, "Yah, shouldn't you be buying heels and wearing a string of pearls by now? And where are the babies?"
When I turned 30 five years ago, one of the newly-hired twenty-something bright-eyed and eager editorial assistants in the publishing company where I worked before asked how it felt like to be in one's 30s. I paused and looked at her, thought of saying something clever or even just something useful. But then I realized I didn't have a clue. So I told her as much. "I don't know. I've only been 30 for a day. Let me get back to you." Well, I'm now halfway through my 30s and if I see her again (Twitter doesn't count) I'll tell her that when you're in your 30s, you can, with less difficulty, tell that 21-year-old version of yourself (yes the one with the deadline of things she has to achieve and to have by the time she's 25) to shut it.
Sure, she still comes sneaking in right before you want to buy a pair of Chucks or after you meet up with old friends who seem to have it all together–years in the same 9 to 5 office jobs, the big paychecks, the house, the cars, the babies, the nannies. It's what we're all supposed to have isn't it?
Until you realize that the life you want looks a little different from that picture. Or at least getting there doesn't follow the same path. You make different choices. They don't always fit into the image of how the world views success, but you make them anyway because they fit into your own view of success, of happiness. You get to do what you love. You get to do what (you hope) you're good at. You get to earn a decent living from it. And you get to be yourself with the people you love.
A wonderful writer and much more articulate friend sent me this message after we had dinner a few months back: "Random thought after seeing friends who are happy with where they are: Never mind 'success'. Creating a life where you can just be yourself is a wonderful achievement."
Of course, there will always be that push and pull, from the world, from self-doubt (more often from self-doubt). But every day you wake up, and you just try do your best. (Thank you, mom and dad.) You wake up and you try not to sleep walk your way through the day. And that makes me happy. (I still don't have that pair of Chucks though–just because now I'm not sure whether to get the high-cut or low-cut version.)

We´ve noticed a back-to-the-bare-basics trend with the Spring 2016 Bridal Collections among high fashion wedding dress designers this year (see YolanCris). Risky, provocative, sensual and attractive, Vera Wang has revealed a Collection of barely-there designs that will probably only adorn the most daring bride – though, certainly it´ll make for a memorable wedding to walk down the aisle in your (nearly) birthday suit.
These sheer wedding dresses are perfect for the bride who has spectacular bridal lingerie, and in many ways the dresses are reminiscent of beautiful lingerie, too. The necklines and backs are also very deep and daring, showing lots of skin and only really thickening just above the knee. As an added touch, the embroidered tulle flowers bring a touch of romance to the sensual dresses.
In short, this is a very liberal and independent collection – the dresses define a woman who is ready for anything. And you, do you dare to show off your wedding day or at the after party? Go ahead and forward.

Play Fetch with Your Dog
You can play fetch with all the intensity of New York Yankees' Derek Jeter firing one to Jason Giambi, or you can play fetch like Mildred Williams of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. She says, "I take Little Duckie [a plush toy that quacks] and throw it to little Piper [her Pomeranian]. We just love it!" Mildred is 89 years old.
Some dogs will teach you to play fetch – no surprise that those automatic conveyer belt bowsers tend to be retrieving breeds. Herding breeds are pretty good at it too. Experts suspect that catching a toy or a ball and then returning it is pretty much the same as herding the toy or ball back to you. However, there's no guarantee about innate talent. Check out any book on dogs; the Brittany was bred to retrieve waterfowl. Our own dog, at 13, still hasn't read the books. Chaser does exactly as her name implies. She gives chase. But then she keeps going. I'm finally resigned to the fact that fetch will never be a part of her vocabulary.
Lucy, our Miniature Australian Shepherd (a.k.a. North American Shepherd) went to the same school for fetch and had the same teacher (that's me) as Chaser. Lucy will play fetch, at least until she decides she just doesn't want to do it anymore. Then we're all familiar with dogs like my friend Jerry's Golden Retriever, Mandy, a total fetch-a-holic. She's addicted. The lesson here is that some dogs will live to fetch, others will moderately enjoy the game, and still others just won't do it. Like most things in dog training, begin with an already favorite toy, whether it's a tennis ball or a plush toy, and begin indoors when there are no distractions, tossing it just a foot or so from your dog.
If your dog doesn't have a favorite toy, create a favorite. Use that toy only for this game, and tell your dog all about it in an upbeat voice. It's dangerous for me to say this – I may get nasty notes – but I'll say it anyway. Tease your dog a little bit with the toy; make her want it. But then, when she barks, "Let me have it," oblige her.
At this point, you have several choices, mostly depending on your dog. Some dogs will naturally return the toy to you and drop it so you can give to her again; it seems they instantly understand. For others, teach the "drop it" command. Or, if you want, offer a piece of kibble or a treat. In order to take the kibble, the dog will drop the toy. The kibble can also encourage dogs who may not return with the toy. As time goes on, be sure to phase out that kibble or treat.
Don't give in and give chase. If you do, you've created an altogether different game. Or more accurately, your dog has taught you an altogether different game. Meanwhile, gradually increase your distance from the dog. Also, don't be afraid to use her name to call her to you if she doesn't instantly return. One secret is to always end the game before your dog losses interest, so you leave her wanting more.
Once fetch has been mastered indoors, take it to your backyard or the park (in a fenced-in area, please). Some dogs will instantly play outdoors as if they've fetched outside their entire lives. Others will act like they've never heard of the game – they're just too distracted by all those interesting smells. For these dogs, just start gradually, the same as you did indoors, and don't be afraid to use yummy treats to encourage her to return with the ball or her toy.
Once I was playing fetch with Lucy while on my cell phone. I tossed the toy. Lucy retrieved. I tossed the toy. Lucy retrieved. I tossed the phone. Lucy did not retrieve.

As you can see on the left the mortar is almost all gone. Years of water getting in through cracks and freezing in the winter most likely caused this damage. The top crown had several large cracks in it which let water get in behind the bricks and erode the mortar. The flashing was also in poor condition which could let water into house. In this case I used a product called Flashseal which acts as a rubber boot around the base of the chimney stopping any water from getting in through the roof. The chimney was also tuck pointed (adding new mortar between the bricks), and a new mortar crown was formed at the top. This picture was taken right after tuck pointing was done and the top half turned white to match the bottom once it dried.

"We seek for the shining gold of Truth … The soul of man is a world full of beings, a kingdom in which armies clash to help or hinder a supreme conquest, a house where the gods are our guests and which demons strive to possess. The fullness of its energies and wideness of its being make a seat of sacrifice, arranged and purified for a celestial session."
— Sri Aurobinda, Hymns to the Mystic Fire, the Rig Veda
Endless Worlds
This is an excerpt from the 8th Chapter of Abhinavagupta's Tantra Loka as illumined by the Kashmir Shaivite Swami Lakshmanjoo:
Swami Lakshmanjoo:
But Abhinavagupta afterwards concludes that, "I have experienced in my samadhi one hundred and eighteen worlds, (but) I don't know if there are more worlds also created, which are outside my consciousness, outside my reach."
So there is possibility of more worlds also, existing everywhere.
You must see what is created . . . (laughs) . . . you must see what is created by God and then you put your I consciousness in that and then you will come to know the vastness of that God consciousness.
He will experience the vastness of God consciousness.
So this orbit of space is most necessary subject…
JOHN: So the point of the measuring this universe is to insert your consciousness.
SWAMIJI: Insert your consciousness in that.
DENISE: In that vastness.
SWAMIJI: What is universe . . . what is everything?
You must know, what is everything. Everything is not only your country in which you are existing. Everything is everything! Whatever is existing, whatever is not existing in your consciousness, that is everything.
What is existing in your consciousness? One hundred and eighteen worlds. What is not existing in your consciousness? It is beyond one hundred and eighteen worlds.
DENISE: Maybe more?
SWAMIJI: Maybe more, you can't know. There is no end to His expansion.
What is to be done then afterwards, when you know what actually universe is?
If this video is too long for you, start at 25:00.
Pawelec – now deceased – is very credible.
"The human species nullified…"
In a chapter entitled 'Special Forces' Timothy Good quotes a former U.S. Air Force computer operations and programming specialist, William J. Pawelec:
"What concerns me is when these projects go 'beyond black'; people with ulterior motives that have gotten control of these projects and/or the funding for them, and/or the ability of what really is scary, to write their own unlimited checks with no recourse to anybody…the attitude is seemingly one of control — power and control…
"My concerns are for the freedom of our country — and of the free world…If we don't find ways to neutralize these negative forces, we're going to find our lifestyles — our concepts of life as a species — nullified."
Why would Pawelec talk about us as a species and consider that our concepts of life as the human species will be nullified? Surely this kind of language can only suggest that some other type of species, not of the human race, that has very different concepts of life is threatening the human races on planet Earth.

William Pawelec's widow reveals national security secrets
William (Bill) Pawelec had a long career working on top secret security projects around the world. In 2000, he shared some of those secrets in a video interview for Dr. Steven Greer's "Disclosure Project." There was one stipulation; the video could not be released until after Pawelec's death.
Though Pawelec died in 2007, it was three years before his wife, Annie DeRiso, found a letter among her husband's papers from Greer and learned about the video interview and her husband's stipulation. When she contacted Greer, he sent her a copy of the interview. After watching it, she gave him permission to release it to the public.
It went viral in December 2010 but there are even more secrets to be told and Annie shares some of those in this article. Pawelec saw alien craft at secret underground facility "Seeing an alien craft changes your life forever, as it did for my husband," says Annie. "Even while he was still in the Air Force, he joined APRO (Aerial Phenomena Research Organization) and began his quest to find out what they are, where they are from and what the extraterrestrials want here on Earth. It became a lifelong mission and led him into many mind expanding discoveries. Unfortunately, the discoveries shuddered his soul. "Even though Bill had seen a craft in the skies," she explains, "what he saw in the secret facility beneath the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada left no doubt in his mind that beings from other worlds are here on Earth.
"Because of his profession, Bill knew all the buzz words to get someone's attention which often led higher ranking individuals to tell him 'secrets' above his clearance level," she says. "During one of those conversations, he was taken to a building at Tonapah where a large section of the floor is actually an elevator that goes down many floors. I don't remember how far down they went, but Bill was taken to an area where they were reverse engineering a typical saucer shaped alien craft. "This is what he is talking about when at about seven minutes into the "Disclosure Project"video he kind of laughs and says 'Our guys used to chuckle about the model not being quite right.
'The craft Bill saw being worked on was later made into a plastic model by the Testors model kit company and is known as 'Area S4 UFO Revealed.' This craft is also commonly known as 'The Sport Model' and is based on Bob Lazar's description. Lazar worked on his craft at Area 51 but Bill saw his craft at Tonapah." Testor's model kit "Area S4 UFO Revealed" is similar to the alien craft William Pawelec saw at the secret facility deep below the Tonapah Testing Range in Nevada.
Pawelec trys to stop nefarious plans for injectable chips "Bill was a security consultant for alphabet soup organizations like the CIA, FBI and NSA," Annie continues. "He also worked for those in Washington D.C. who are known as the 'Beltway Bandits.'
He was tops in his field and worked on keyless card entry systems, security systems for Air Force One and American embassies, including the now infamous Moscow Embassy where the Russians had listening devices hidden in the walls so they could easily spy on international diplomats.
"Bill and his friends also were involved with the development of the RFID chip. When they learned about the nefarious plans for its use, 'The Powers That Be' stole the technology. Two of those friends were assassinated and Bill's own death remains suspicious."
It should be explained that a RFID chip is a tiny radio-frequency identification chip that is small enough to inject into animals and humans for monitoring purposes. Pawelec speaks about this in his video interview with Greer. There is a link to the video at the end of this article. Pawelec shaken to core at secret meeting.
"Another project Bill worked on was at Area 51," Annie continues. "It was his job to upgrade the perimeter security systems for Area 51 and it was his idea to install cameras in fake rocks. It was during this time that he learned about the Tonapah base which is more remote and inaccessible than Area 51. It also was where Bill's rose-colored patriotic glasses began to cloud over.

"His disenchantment began when he was called to give what he thought was going to be a regular project status report at Tonapah. The meeting was held in a heavily controlled room that was built like a Faraday cage making it impossible for communications to come in or out of the sealed room.
"Briefcases, papers, pagers and any form of identification were not allowed at that meeting," Annie says. "Only the generals could be recognized by their uniforms. The tension was really high and Bill was surprised at how nervous the high-ranking generals were. He knew something BIG was up.
"Bill saw a private jet escorted by two of our military jets land on the tarmac. Surprisingly, this private jet rolled all the way to the building where the meeting was scheduled as the escort jets departed.
"A very imposing man stepped out of the jet and entered the room. He was relatively tall, and wore a very expensive European suit. His shoes and briefcase were equally luxurious and there was an aide or bodyguard by his side. His demeanor was very aristocratic and he spoke with a High German accent. "The room was electrified with nervous tension as each person gave his status report and answered questions.
When everyone had spoken, the German man thanked them for their good work and simply left. He was never introduced nor identified in anyway. It is believed he was Baron Jesco von Puttkamer, one of the Germans who came to the United States with Werner von Braun.
"Whatever happened that day convinced Bill that the United States,and probably the whole world,was being controlled by Europeans," says Annie, "but exactly who 'they' were was the big question. It drove Bill and his friends on a quest to find out what was really going on. After that, he frequently quoted his friend Jim Marrs who often says, 'The Nazis may have lost the battles but they won the war.'
"The men also wanted to discover the true alien agenda and the reasons they were interacting with humans," Annie continues. "They concluded that while there are many benevolent extraterrestrials, the negative or dark ETs were using the Nazis, the Illuminati and the Bilderbergers as pawns in their plan to take over Earth and claim it as their own.
"They learned that a parallel battle for Earth has been going on in space for thousands of years.
"Bill and his friends wanted the people of the world to know all this but it took Bill four years of telling 'them' what they wanted to hear before he could slip from their control and begin to live a somewhat normal life.
"He still wasn't talking publicly about all of this until we met," Annie explains, "and he came to know that all of my friends were also in the UFO arena. About the same time, Bill's cancer started to grow and he began talking about what he knew. By the way, two of his close friends are professional remote viewers and see Bill's death as being highly suspicious.
"All this leaves me and Bill's friends wondering WHAT ARE 'THEY' NOT LYING TO US ABOUT?"

Since 2009 all foreigners are obliged to have a health insurance while staying in Germany.
Germany has a reputation for having one of the best health care systems in the world, providing its residents with comprehensive health insurance coverage. Approximately 85% of the population are mandatory or voluntary members of the public health scheme while the rest have private health insurance. The health insurance reform of 2007 now requires everyone living in Germany to be insured for at least hospital and out-patient medical treatment. This must also include coverage for pregnancy and certain medical check-ups.
The costs of the German health care system are immense and rising due to demographics as well as medical cost inflation. Recent government reforms have attempted to make hospitals more competitive and thereby reduce costs for the state health insurance providers (Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung or GKV).
The introduction of the Gesundheitsfonds which is a monstrous collection and distribution fund for all monies paid into the GKV went into effect as of January 1, 2009. The consequences were felt by all: the present 120 Krankenkassen claim that the amounts being distributed per head are not enough to cover costs and a number of the Kassen have already registered for bankruptcy. Their members will, of course, be allowed to change to another Kasse. Krankenkassen are allowed to charge their members an unlimited supplemental premium if they calculate that they cannot meet their expenses.
As is a tradition in Germany, another reform came into law officially on January 1, 2015 the name is another jaw-breaker: Gesetz zur Weiterentwicklung der Finanzstruktur und der Qualität in der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung. A number of measures to supposedly increase competition among the health insurance funds and to reduce bureaucracy were introduced: The premiums for members of the German public health system were reduced from 15.5% to 14.6% of income which at first sounds attractive. The Krankenkassen are still allowed to demand a supplemental payment to meet their costs and as the median declared percentage amount is approximately 0.9% in 2015 this means that the total is again 15.5% as in the previous year! The naughty clause: the employer share has been frozen at 7.3% of the special income monthly level of 4.125 Euros whereas the employee caries the full brunt of the 7.3% plus x (presently between 0 1%).
This will again make it necessary to compare the total premiums of the different Kassen before deciding which one to join. Further reforms can be expected in attempting to fund the system and these will probably mean that the premiums will increase and benefits will be further rationed.
You have three options for health insurance while living in Germany; the government-regulated public health insurance system (GKV), private health insurance from a German or international insurance company (PKV) or a combination of the two. You can opt for full private plans if your income is above a certain threshold or if you are self-employed. Finding the best service provider of state health insurance or finding the most suitable coverage from a private health insurer while still at a competitive rate is not always easy but is well worth the effort.
As people have different requirements or expectations from health insurance, it is important to understand the system in order to filter out the most suitable plan while living in Germany.
Health insurance is not a commodity but rather is a vital financial support in times of illness or after an accident. Some health insurance policies offer less coverage than others and the scope and quality of terms and conditions are of utmost importance.

Dunwoody residents want pathways and trails, improved parks, an open pavilion for concerts and performances, outdoor athletic fields, and a performing arts center, according to citizen survey results seeking feedback on the city's parks and recreation offerings.
A survey was mailed to 3,000 random residents in March with 661 responses returned to the city, according the Colorado-based RRC Associates which conducted the survey. A web survey was also opened to the public from March 17 through April 18 and gathered 962 responses, for a total of 1,623 survey responses.
Results of the survey include:
–39 percent of respondents said pathways and trails a top priority.
–33 percent of respondents said they wanted improved park amenities.
–29 percent said they wanted an open pavilion for concerts and performances.
–26 percent said they wanted a theater/performing arts center.
–83 percent said they wanted community events.
–62 percent said they wanted wellness programs.
In open-ended comments about Brook Run Park, respondents put athletic fields (baseball and soccer) as the top priority followed by adding an amphitheater or pavilion for concerts.
"Respondents most often suggested that the top priority for new amenities or improvements to existing amenities at Brook Run Park are athletic fields including baseball and soccer fields, and adding an amphitheater/pavilion for concerts and shows," the survey states.
"Respondents commented that adding and maintaining the bathrooms as well as connecting and expanding the trails in Brook Run Park were priorities, as well. Respondents also indicated support for more lights and more parking, and to add a recreation center/indoor complex for activities," according to the survey.
The topic of whether or not to save the shuttered building in Brook Run Park to turn it into a theater or community center drew many negative responses to using city tax money to do so.
And when it comes to funding new parks and recreation facilities and other improvements, 47 percent of respondents said they would "probably" or "definitely" support a bond referendum.
A new dedicated sales tax garnered 44 percent support from respondents, followed by 33 percent supporting a general property tax levy and 25 percent in support of a new dedicated property tax.

Create a logo to anchor your brand and reflect your positioning
Think of your logo design as the thumbprint of your brand. When you create a logo, it's the first step to building a brand. A brand is visual and verbal. Those elements work together to create recognition and define where you fit in your category and market–how you're positioned.
When it's time to create a logo or refresh a current one, use this checklist:
Where will the logo be seen the most?
Large or small? A great logo design should be designed to work in a smaller size on a business card, or as a graphic on a billboard or the side of the van. That can require multiple versions to work when reduced or enlarged.
Will the design work in black and white or color?
Logos should be designed to work well either way. We often see designs that have so much detail and color that they can't reduce effectively or work in black and white applications. Create a logo without complexity for maximum exposure.
Where will the logo be used the most?
Online? In print? On signing? Seen from a distance or up close? All of these are considerations when choosing fonts and the style of a mark. A very complex or detailed symbol often won't read well from a distance, or will close up and fill in when reduced. A very narrow, condensed font won't read well from a distance. If your sign or vehicles are important to your brand presentation, avoid detailed icons and condensed fonts when you create a logo.
How will you maintain consistency?
When we create a logo for a client, we build out a complete design system, including choosing fonts and identifying a specific color palette. We provide an identity guidelines sheet that summarizes the colors in multiple forms: PMS colors, a CMYK build, RGB build and HTML. That complete information will maintain consistency when printing, using the logo in a PowerPoint or on a website. The guidelines also show proper usage of the new logo. For an example of brand guidelines, see our post on the logo refresh for two government organizations.
Are you getting file formats for all applications?
When we create a logo for a client, once the various versions are approved (black and white, color, vertical and horizontal), we produce more than 40 different files to cover nearly any application. These range from .png, .jpg, .tif, .pdf to black and white, grayscale, reversed, CMYK, RGB and line art. This ensures consistent application of the brand identity no matter what the communication is.
How will you manage the files?
We recommend creating a folder on Google Drive for the organization, then a separate folder for logo assets. This way, with the login, the files are always available for those who need them. No more searching through a server or asking someone to send you a file. Or worse — copying and pasting and reformatting from an existing document.
I sometimes have conversations with clients who question why we put so much time in when we create a logo. They're used to going online, perhaps downloading a pre-designed logo, or using a design provided by a freelancer.
What we've found is A) The logo is very generic and doesn't support their unique position in their market B) the logo design doesn't work in all of the applications as noted above, or C) they have only one file format and are just trying to make it work with workarounds.
If it's time for you and your organization to create a logo, be sure to use the checklist to ensure you're getting a design that functions well as the thumbprint of your brand, and that you have a complete set of files to use.
Or give us a call! We've won many awards for our logo designs. Visit our logo gallery on our website for inspiration.
Considering a rebrand, or perhaps a brand refresh? A rebrand is more than a new logo … get your guide to a rebrand below.
