As a family counselor, I enjoy working with many different issues, but it seemed only natural that I would specialize in the area that I most suffered. And since my first drugs of choice were cookies and ice cream, I see a lot of people who struggle with food and weight. Over the last few decades, I have mostly seen teenagers and adults, with a small sprinkling of really young children. But in the last year or so I have noticed a tragic new trend. It seems to me that as our social media has become more widespread, my clients have been getting younger and younger. Brace yourself here, folks -- I actually have tiny 6-year-old clients who feel "fat!" I see 7-year-old kids who agonize over what to wear in the morning because they "hate the size of their thighs or their arms." And I work with children who refuse to eat carbs or fats. Who among us even knew what carbs or fats were when we were 6 years old? I think it's safe to say that our epidemic of eating disorders is spreading to our children.
We are doing something seriously wrong here when 6-, 7-, 8- and 9-year-olds hate their bodies. I think this is something we can probably all agree on, yes? I mean, it's pretty much accepted that teens struggle with body image. Though why is that supposed to be normal? There are cultures that raise children to appreciate, accept and dare I say, love their bodies! And, unfortunately, I think it's pretty much accepted here that there are good and bad foods. But there are cultures that eat all foods in moderation and don't trip on carbs, fats, gluten, dairy, or how many sets or reps to lift.
I think it's safe to say that more change is in order when young children are feeling "fat," or refusing to wear a bathing suit, or eat certain food groups, or think they need to "work out in order to lose the fat on their thighs." And yes, these are quotation marks here. These are actual statements I have heard from my precious young clients!
So, what can we do about all of this? Well, on my end, I am working on a kid-friendly version of my book so I will keep you posted on that. My co-author and I are knee deep writing a children's book to help kids who feel fat. The fact that we get to write another book together is a joy. The fact that there is a need for it is a tragedy.
Work on legitimizing all food groups. Certainly different foods have varying nutritional value, but a moderate amount of fats or dessert can enhance your day the same way that a sunset or a song can. We don't need sunsets or songs to live but they sure make life sweeter and more satisfying!
Stop all "fat chat." If we want our kids to stop calling themselves "fat," we need to stop first. How about we all refuse to refer to our bodies or the foods we eat as "good" or "bad"?
I know this is all easier typed than done. We live in a food-crazed, image-obsessed, fitness-crazy culture. But we have to start somewhere right? If we can't do it for the love of ourselves, perhaps we can do it for the love of our children.

Trey, and 140 other children from OCCC’s Child Development Center and Lab School, recently displayed artwork for the 2013 Art Show which ran from April 15 through 19 at the FACE Center.
The children learn more effectively through hands-on crafts, such as art, said Lee Ann Townsend, lab supervisor. The children, ranging in age from 6 weeks through 8 years, engage in daily group activities and projects.
The art show is a fun way to show people what the children do at their school, Townsend said. The art show is an annual event put on by the children’s center in celebration of the Week of the Young Child, April 14 through 20, Townsend said.
The Art show featured more than 200 pieces. The images included abstract art, bush babies, rocket ships (complete with passengers), engines and emergency exit.
To prove his point, Trey drew a picture on the spot to give the Pioneer reporter as a souvenir of her visit to the center.
The Family and Community Education Center is located at 6500 S. Land Ave. in Oklahoma City.

At the end of the last Democratic debate, Dana Bash asked Sanders whether he will take the contest to the convention in Philadelphia if neither candidate clinches the nomination via pledged delegates. Sanders responded by saying that he plans to win the nomination outright. But then he injected something that both he and his campaign staff have said frequently.
Look, let me acknowledge what is absolutely true. Secretary Clinton cleaned our clock in the Deep South. No question about it. We got murdered there. That is the most conservative part of this great country. That's the fact.
For the last several weeks, this is a contention the Sanders campaign has made in various forms. Most recently, the candidate told Larry Wilmore that having the Southern states vote early in the primary "distorts reality." If we combine that statement with what he said last night, the argument becomes: having Southern states vote early in the primary distorts reality because it is the most conservative part of the country. Of course, if that were true, it would hurt Sanders as the candidate who consistently lays claim to being the more progressive of the two.
I would propose that the Mountain West (where Sanders has notched up big wins lately) could challenge the claim that the Deep South is the most conservative part of the country. An analysis by The Hill on the five most conservative states turns up a mix of these two regions, giving us: Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Kansas and Mississippi. Were the primaries in Alaska, and Idaho distorted by their conservatism? The other question this assertion raises is: do more conservative Republicans in a state mean that Democratic primaries there are "distorted?"
Ultimately, the elephant in the room about this claim is that the difference between conservative Mountain and Southern states is that the Democratic electorate in the latter is made up largely of people of color - with whom Sanders performs poorly. Do people of color distort reality because they are more conservative?
It is very possible that the answer to that question is "yes." The truth is...we don't have a lot of data on that. But I would suggest that anyone who asserts that argument is assuming that a political continuum from conservative to liberal is, by default, based on how white people would construct it. For example, I would imagine that liberals in the Mountain West states would prioritize things like repealing Citizens United and challenging Wall Street, whereas African Americans in the South would prioritize voting rights, ending systemic racism and programs to lift people out of poverty. How progressive one is would be measured by their record and platform on those issues.
Years ago I was taught a lesson in the different ways that white and black liberals view the South. After having been raised primarily in Texas, I decided to settle in Minnesota. That decision was influenced by a desire to escape the racism that was so blatant in the South. I was shocked and confused when my African American friends up here talked about longing to return to the South. They patiently explained two things to me. First of all, the South is "home." It's where their people are. And they long to return to that sense of community. Secondly, many of them actually prefer to deal with the outright racism of the South rather than the subtle form they experience from so-called friends and allies in the North.
The fact that Bernie Sanders insinuates that Democratic voters in the South are more conservative and distort the primary process indicates that he hasn't spent much time hearing from or thinking about the perspective of African Americans in that part of the country. That is probably true for a lot of Northern liberals. But if he's looking for an answer to the question about why he is not winning their support, this is part of the reason.
It's very disappointing to see Sanders take this tack because it's practically de-legitimizing the black vote which dominates the Democratic party in most of the South.
Blacks and Latinos are vital constituencies for the party in November. To put it bluntly, we can't afford to choose a Presidential nominee who has been rejected by those constituencies.

Added the basic simple syrup to Doc's recipe. Mines sat for 2 weeks instead of the 7 days listed on the recipe. I will let it sit for another week at room temperature and then bottle it and put it in the fridge. I had a taste and it's pretty darn good. Thanks again for sharing your recipe Doc. My second batch will sit for another 2 weeks before I add the honey.
Doc, with only the two of us, could you reduce the receipe by half and have it come out as well?
Another good thing about this thread for me is, now I know what they were drinking on the beach in the movie “ Under the Tuscan Sun “.
I don't see why not, but it will last forever in the freezer.
The Amalfi coast is a lot different than Tuscany; so, I wouldn't be too sure about what they were drinking. Could be, but might not be.
That looks good man. Let us know how it is, after you've had it in the freezer for a while. I'm betting it only gets better.
That's exactly what I did and it came out good.
There's something very creepy going on in picture #5. I can't figure out what is, but it ain't right.
Hey shorty are you bringing this next weekend?
Well, I decided to go full blown Italian on this one and sweeten the batch with organic honey. It tastes amazing.
So is it honey instead of simple syrup? That does sound pretty good.
Yes...I used 24oz. It gives it a different kind of sweetness...not so 'in your face' sweet...more mellow. I had to add a little distilled water because it was way too strong as it was after adding the honey. Not sure how much distilled water I added, I did it a 1/2 cup at a time, then tasted it. Bottom line is, I wound up with five 16oz bottles....80oz total....minus the tasting sips!
looks great. Mine is in the freezer and tastes great. Next time try a batch of grapefruit. I prefer it slightly over the lemon but, they are both excellent.
Yes...definitely! That'll be the next batch. I'm going to put them in ice when I get to the herf and see how it changes the taste. It's quite potent.
Keep lightweight Paul, away from it then!
No kidding...he’s usually in bed by 8pm anyway.

One person who knows a lot about bitcoin blockchain is Melanie Swan - philosopher and futurist at the Institute of Ethics and Emerging Technologies, a nonprofit organization which researches everything related to possibilities of science and technology in future. She sees enormous potential in Bitcoin.
"Bitcoin 1.0 is the introduction of the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin 2.0 is the contract that uses blockchains and is more comprehensive than cash transactions such as stocks, bonds, conditional, loans and smart property. Bitcoin 3.0 is blockchain beyond currency, finance and marketing, especially in areas as government, health, science, literacy, culture and art. "
Bitcoin 2.0 will continue to strengthen its legal protection and minimize the risks to federal control and governmental transparency.
Bitcoin should expect a bright future - Swan and others are 100% sure. Meanwhile we all witness a fight between typical idealists and crypto-anarchists on one hand and between consumers and profiteers on the other. The latter want influence the rest of the banking system and to become a part of this. Crypto-anarchists wants to "move on to other things", as Satoshi said before he disappeared from the network in 2011.
- There is a chance bitcoin has the future, says Robin Tegiland. However it is rather the future of cryptocurrencies in general. The most important technology is the blockchains underlying the monetary system. The technology has a future in the Internet of Things.
Internet of Things is the network of "things", the electronics and the software that goes beyond the relationship machine-to-machine and proceed to person-to-person.
Finally, what really is the money? How to read the final definition? David Graeber get the last word.
"The reason why anthropologists have not managed to present a simple, convincing explanation of origin of the funds is that there are no reasons for such explanations. Money is really 100% abstract thing."

The multiplayer skins are just key NPCs. They don't necessarily have to be the assassins.
Remember that the multiplayer background is sort of like a training simulator for Templars.
But yes, they are confirmed as multiplayer but will make an appearance in the SP, in some way shape or form.

While showing my Nostalgic Paintings around the country, I was always asked the question, “Do you have anything from around here?” That started me on a quest to return to all my shows every year with something new from their area. I had exhibited at a number of shows in and around the Chicago area, so I painted four paintings from Chicagoland.
One of my yearly shows was on Wells Street in Chicago. Deciding to paint a Cubs related painting, turned in to a smash hit among the locals. The painting depicts a young child with glove in hand, wearing the famous number 14 worn from 1953 through 1971 by “Mr Cub”, Ernie Banks. Watching a custodian sweeping up after the 4th of July baseball game, and reading the famous sign, he anxiously thinks about tomorrows baseball game.
Can he get the autograph of the National League All Star? Will he get any sleep tonight? Probably not!

Do you think the corporate world has more or less fraud in the last 10 years than it used to? Do you think there are more or less people who lie, cheat, and steal today than 50 years ago?
The ACFE 2008 Report to the Nation (RTTN) study on 959 fraud incidents shows that the top two indicators of perpetrators were “living beyond means” and “financial difficulties”. So, in these difficult economic times, one might expect fraud to increase. This report indicates that the way cited most frequently for initially uncovering these incidents was through a tip, such as those provided through anonymous hotlines. The prevalence of identifying the incident with a tip increased from 24% to 46% between the report in 2006 and 2008.
While fraud seems to be increasing, so are the size of the frauds themselves (ala Mr. Madoff), with more prevalent media about them, and better ways of detection. Is our population really more dishonest or in the typical yin and yang of life, is there a typical honesty – dishonesty balance that exists?
I reflect on a different time, about a half a century ago, when my grandfather met Mr. C., an “enterprising” man who was selling profitable shares. My grandfather initially bought some of those shares from Mr. C., but asked for his money back when he heard that others were buying based on Mr. C. touting my grandfather purchased shares. Only because of word of mouth, many others asked for their money back, too.
As it turned out, Mr. C.’s shares weren’t worth the paper they were printed on… A half a century ago, Mr. C. bilked a handful of people for a few hundred or thousand dollars. In today’s world, that could be millions or even billions of dollars, with the right promise and the right “other investors”. The detection and publicity of Mr. C.’s downturn was entirely different then versus now. In today’s world, if Mr. C. and my grandfather worked in corporate America, my grandfather could call the anonymous hotline to identify Mr. C.’s fraudulent act. The internet would likely be used to publicize his misdeeds if they were large enough.
So, in summary, I wonder, are we experiencing more fraudulent acts or are they just bigger, while we are doing a better job of identifying them (through hotlines such as Ethical Advocate) and publicizing them? In these tough economic times, I suspect the answer is “Both”….

Sahara blonde is suitable for blonde hair to add some gold color and can be applied to grey hair for a golden blonde color. If by chance you feel the color is a little brassy, just leave it and you will find with some shampooing the color will settle and look more natural in a short time. Sometimes it is a good idea when you need to retouch the roots and leave the ends so as not to result in any brassy color. Always do a test strand first as henna can be unreliable. .

Look at this uber organized setup cart. If you’re tired of tool drawers looking like a rats nest made of steel you’ll appreciate this shop tip. Unfortunately, it kind of trumps our previous tip of using a lot of magnetic mounts. However, we’re willing to admit that Kaizen Foam from Fastcap is the best choice for tool storage and organization.

We all love to travel, but we all dislike being broke. This leads to some problems for most people, since travel is expensive and you’re not getting rich off of reading my articles. Not saying you shouldn’t, just saying this isn’t helping your situation. Get your life together.
Anyway, if you want to travel and get a job so you can sustain your traveling habits, take a look at these jobs instead of your current one. Unless your current one is on the list, in which case you’re doing fine and I take back everything I’ve said about you so far. I didn’t mean to get so personal.
If you’re not adverse to boats or water, this might be the thing for you. You sail all over the world and you get to do cool jobs like making cocktails or pretending to be someone that does something on a cruise ship.
This is the obvious one, isn’t it? It might be the hardest to pull off, since they don’t just allow anyone to be a flight attendant these days, but it could be pretty lucrative!
Well, they need English teachers everywhere, especially in every country where English might be a useful language to master. So apart from some small forest areas in Africa or Southern America, I can’t imagine English teachers not getting a job wherever the heck they want.
Making cocktails is a good line of work in every country.
Well, it allows you to travel. Not sure it might make you a lot of money, but it’ll make you more money than doing nothing, I suppose.
All you’d need is a laptop, which you can bring anywhere, and a Wi-Fi connection, which you can find pretty much anywhere. That means you could work almost anywhere – even abroad!
They have hostels everywhere, and hostels need general staff pretty much everywhere too.
This is only an option if you live in a wealthy country, but you could sell all your stuff and move to a less financially stable part of the world and live off your bank account interests. Never work for a day in your life again – starting today!
No, not that kind of courier. The kind that works for webshops. Yes, you can actually bring along stuff from webshops on your flight – it saves the companies a lot of time and money. And they’re willing to pay you for it!

The assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has taken center-stage in the U.S. presidential election campaign. VOA National correspondent Jim Malone reports from Washington on the reactions of some of the candidates.
Democrat Hillary Clinton said she had come to know Ms. Bhutto during her years as First Lady. Campaigning in Iowa, Clinton said she was profoundly saddened and outraged by Ms. Bhutto's assassination.
Clinton's chief rival for the Democratic Party presidential nomination, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, said he was shocked and saddened by her death, and said she was a respected and resilient advocate for democracy in Pakistan.
Another Democratic contender, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, said the U.S. should not allow violence to disrupt Pakistan's return to democracy. Richardson also called on President Bush to force Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf to step down. Richardson served as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during the Clinton administration.
Republican presidential contenders were also quick to react to the Bhutto killing.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said those responsible for the assassination must be brought to justice and that her death is a reminder that terrorism anywhere is a threat to freedom.
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney also condemned the assassination during a campaign stop in New Hampshire.
"This points out again the extraordinary reality of global, violent, radical Jihadism," said Romney. "We do not know who is responsible for this attack, but there is no question but that the violence that we see throughout the world is violence that is not limited to Iraq and Afghanistan, but is more global in nature.
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee said the assassination was devastating news for the people of Pakistan.
Senator John McCain discussed the assassination during a campaign appearance in Iowa.
"If I were president of the United States, I would be on the phone right now, and I would be meeting with the National Security Council, and I would be seeing ways that we can help restore order or maintain order, whichever is the case in Pakistan," said McCain. "I know the players, I know the individuals and I know the best way to address this situation."
Some political observers believe the Bhutto killing could refocus the election debate on the dangers of terrorism, just one week before the first test of the 2008 campaign, the Iowa presidential caucuses on January 3.

1. Hand out important titles. By giving someone or some entity a title or role that demonstrates their special relationship to your project, you inspire participation. For our Cambodia project, we invited one youth from each of 20 countries to lead their nation's efforts to build a school together. These randomly appointed leaders were all 12 and 13 years old, and they ended up raising the funds to build a school for 200 kids and together they named it "For Each Other".
2. Be funny. Sometimes the most serious campaigns gain attention through playfulness. One group of kids in Hawaii wanted to get the hoards of tourists to stop throwing their cigarette butts on the ground harming birds and other wildlife, so they placed planters filled with sand around their city and posted signs that said "Plant Your Butts Here".
3. Facebook. They just added a new feature where you can start a group and add friends to join without their permission. Instead of having to accept, they have to reject the offer. Note, you do have to inspire them once you place them in the group with exciting and compelling posts. To see an example of a youth page that does this well, visit the fb group: Giving From the Ground Up.
4. Talk about it. Learn how to tell your passionate story in two minutes or less. The more you share, the more you beam about it, the more it matters to you, the more it will matter to others.
5. Membership. If there is a way to show you are part of something, and you can make that cool, others will notice and want to join in, too. Think Star-Bellied Sneetches. One group of kids from Ohio designed collectible zipper pulls that we manufactured for them and by the end of the month, every one had to have the whole set of six dangling from their backpacks. With the funds they generated, they provided two ICEE machines to young cancer patients-- after chemo, the icy drinks soothe the mouth and tummy.
6. Signage. In bathrooms, on desks, on lockers, on doors, on lawns, at businesses who share your passion, on you (one of our youth wore a cape to school with her message across the back). Be bold in your messaging. Anywhere you share your cause in a fun, dramatic or mysterious way invites curiosity, and people will seek to learn more.
7. Create a webpage. Yep, right here on our site, for free (start by selecting the world issue your idea addresses). You will have your own thermometer in the event that you are raising funds, and can send out emails inviting others to support you upon completing your page (a special page will pop up). No one rallies faster around us than our friends and family. It's a great way to get started quickly in spreading your idea, and garnering support.

In Vertica 7.2.2 weve added more security features, including a row-level access policy option. Combined with our previously existing column access policy, Vertica verifies that your data is more secure than ever.
When can I use this feature?
Lets say you maintain a database of employees, including their id, name, and address. Its the end of the year and you want to make sure all your employees addresses are up to date for tax purposes.
To achieve your goal, you could have users view the table and check if the address on file is correct. However, you dont want to let everyone to see everyone elses information, especially their id number and salary. So what if you block the most sensitive data?
With column-level access, you could allow all users to access only the name and address fields. While this method successfully hides each employees id and salary, it also allows any employee to see any other employees address.
How can you make sure a user sees only their own information?
The answer involves the Vertica row-level access policy feature. With row-level access policies, you can restrict a users access to only the rows you want them to see. In this example, you can make sure that each employee only sees the row associated with themselves. Or, you can allow a user to see their own row along with the rows associated with any of their direct trainees.
For this example, youll use the FOR ROWS option with an expression that limits the viewable table to specific rows, depending on the user. In a row access policy, the expression is the content of the WHERE clause.
Mark sees this output because Vertica goes through the rows in the table and enables Mark access only to rows that satisfy the WHERE clause. In other words, Vertica allows Mark to view rows where the name column matches his name.
Combined, you can use row-level and column-level access policies to control exactly what information each user has access to.
For example, maybe you want to allow managers to be able to look up employees and their corresponding id numbers. But you dont want them to have access to an employees street address. You can create a row- level access policy and a column-level access policy on the employeeTax table to achieve this.
Now, normal users can view only their own row and anyone with the manager role can see all rows.
From the basic examples described above, you can see how these security policies can provide huge benefits to companies with high volumes of very sensitive data. Health care companies, banks, universities, you name it, they need security. And Vertica is here to help.

The South African arm of global audit firm, KPMG, on Wednesday appointed veteran public servant and former Chairman of the Development Bank of Southern Africa, Wiseman Nkuhlu, as its chairman.
KPMG sacked its South African leadership in September 2017 after it found work done for companies owned by the Gupta family, accused by a public watchdog of improperly influencing government contracts, “fell considerably short” of its standards.
The Guptas, who are close to President Jacob Zuma, have consistently denied wrong-doing.

This weeks challenge is to make a composition that includes lines and/or patterns.
Architecture subjects can be a good source of lines and patterns.
This image has strong lines, includes a person (notice the composition puts the person on one of the thirds) and uses reflection effectively.
Lines don’t have to be straight. Curved lines can be appealing as well.
When looking for patterns, try to find things that are repeating in interesting ways.
Now get out there, find some lines and patterns, and have fun!

The White Buffalo began releasing full studio albums in 2002 with Hogtied Like a Rodeo. The release was followed with The White Buffalo E.P. Throughout the remaining early years of the 2000’s, The White Buffalo toured and developed a fanbase, honing his skills in blending the Folk, Country, and Roots of his songs. He revisited his debut in a friend’s living room, releasing Hogtied Revisited in 2008. Beginning in 2010, The White Buffalo began a consistent run of releases and high profile music placements for shows such as Sons of Anarchy which featured multiple cuts from the singer/songwriter. The White Buffalo recorded Prepare for the Black and Blue in six days, releasing the E.P. in 2010, following with another digital E.P. release in 2011 with Lost and Found. Returning to full albums, The White Buffalo released Once Upon a Time in the West (2012), Shadows, Greys, and Evil Ways (2013), Love & The Death of Damnation (2015), and his recent release, Darkest Darks, Lightest Lights.
Over the course of his career, Jake Smith aka The White Buffalo has let his words and music offer the clearest picture of the artist creating the songs. With a steady slate of album releases, and his music heard in film and television shows, The White Buffalo remained a personal mystery, his baritone vocals guiding his stories through multiple albums and his stature commanding stages. Jake Smith took a moment to speak with us about his music, giving more understanding of the man inside The White Buffalo.
The Alternate Root (TAR): You were born in Oregon and grew up in Southern California?
The White Buffalo (TWB): My family moved to Southern California when I was about one year old, so everything I knew came from there. In the midst of punk rock, I was a SoCal middle school kid into Country music.. that did not make me very popular. Country music came from my parents, who were huge country music fans. I think my music today attracts the fringe people with a mix of country, folk, punk.
TWB: Shadows, Greys, and Evil Ways was the only album I wrote that was a concept about just one man. I have one song on new album (Darkest Darks, Lightest Lights) that is about Richard Ramirez (The Night Stalker) and the paralyzing fear he created for me as a child. I weave myself into the song. A lot of my characters are conflicted, things are not always black and white in real life, or in my songs. I like to think I write small human stories.
TAR: How did you come to have so many songs in Sons of Anarchy?
TWB: I didn’t get music into Sons of Anarchy until around the third season, I think. My lawyer knew the music supervisor, this is before I had a manager. He set up a lunch with Bob Thiele (music supervisor for Sons of Anarchy) and said I work with an unsigned artist that I feel would work great in Sons of Anarchy. For the closing song in the final episode, Kurt Sutter wrote the words, and I wrote the music with Bob Thiele, and, of course, I sang it. It wasn’t supposed to close the show but they fell in love with it.
I like how Sons of Anarchy used music as part of the story line. A lot of the conflict in my songs is the same that the characters on Sons of Anarchy experience. They are bad guys but they are still conflicted about their actions and still human.
TAR: Does your ability to blend genres in your music help with a wider audience for touring?
TWB: Mixing folk and roots is a curse and a blessing. It makes you an island. I haven’t explored the southern states in the U.S much for touring. I do well in the UK and Germany. The fans seem to treat music as a little less disposable.
TAR: You have a new video series, In The Garage. What is that about?
TWB: In the Garage is a web series. It is new. I wanted to play around. People assume that I am this really mysterious guy, and I wanted to change that. We talk about new ideas, and I play a song. The music is very stripped down.
