I know that I have absolutely no choice about the path I must walk in grief. I also understand that I do have a choice in how I cope with my grief, and how I adapt to the loss. Many cope by being “loss-oriented” in their style of grief. The loss defines them. It took me a while in my mourning process to select the good style of grief, which is This type of grief focuses on the loss of Peter, but allows me to rebuild my life. I continue to have moments of sadness and “grief bursts,” but I am working hard at establishing new habits to reduce the power of sadness, so that it no longer overwhelms me. I am choosing to take charge of my life, integrate my lost love into my heart, and move forward to find my new restored existence.
I decided to put this theory into practice. I set up a sheet listing the loss-oriented items on the left side of my paper, and the restoration-oriented ones on the right. On the left, I listed my yearning for Peter, my sadness at looking at his picture, my memories of our life together, my sorrow at not having a partner with whom to laugh, my loneliness, my lack of a husband to help when my meniscus is torn (damn!), and my empty and slightly hamstrung heart. This is the part of grief work that I call the heavy-lifting.
Then on the right side of the paper, I listed the restoration-oriented ideas that help me to move on with my life. and distract me until I can fully cope with my loss. My writing is my savior and a total boost forward in my process. Setting up a website to invite other widows and widowers to talk is a great distractor. My grand kids, period! Cooking a dinner for friends; watching a funny movie (yes, even Bridget Jones Baby made me laugh a little); watching the Acorn TV series A Place to Call Home; walking with a girlfriend; talking to my pals who keep me buoyed with their friendship; popcorn and chocolate ice cream; and finding strength in the fact that I can take care of the finances by myself!
· I will develop new skills, interests, and abilities; as long as it is NOT playing Mah Jongg!
· I will learn to cook beautiful dinners for me, myself, and I.
· I give myself permission to heal my wounds of grief in a positive fashion. I will try to be positive and cheer lead myself to get through grief.
· I will believe that failure is a form of learning and not get down on myself for “grief bursts.” Self-compassion, Laurie, self-compassion!
· I will be grateful for the love I had, even though I am mourning it deeply. I will try to imagine nostalgia as sweet, and focus not on my deprivation, but on how good it was when our love was alive.
· I will laud my anger for the temporary insanity it brings.
· I will be thankful for the grief that won’t go away, and my fear that it will, and the void that might swallow me up.
· I will appreciate the legacy of kindness that Peter instilled in Nick and now my grandchildren.
· I will celebrate small successes as if they were grand successes.
· I will value living in the now as a precious gift.
· I will refuse to see myself as a victim.
· I will finally fully fathom that Peter would insist that I enjoy the rest of my life.
If I think of the word widow as one letter shy of window, I can look outward through the window of my widow’s soul and move forward into the light again.

Oregon-based plywood panel producer Natron Wood Products is moving into a vacant 250,000 square-foot building in Louisville and will create 200 new jobs as it begins operations.
The plant represents a $10 million investment by Natron Wood Products, Gov. Phil Bryant said Monday at an official announcement of the plant in Louisville.
Natron Wood’s Winston County facility will produce specialty plywood products, such as plywood overlay panels, which are commonly referred to as Medium Density Overlay and High Density Overlay. The panels are used primarily in large vertical and horizontal concrete structures and other residential and commercial construction applications. The facility will also produce high-grade marine plywood and sanded plywood products.
Natron Wood Products operates as Jasper Wood Products in Jasper, Ore., where the company has been in business for more than 20 years. There, the company produces a number of timber products, including marine plywood, millworks, plyform for heavy concrete pours and interior and exterior fire retardant treating.
How many truck loads of wood will the plant require per day?
I’M A FORMER EMPLOYEE AT THAT OLD GEORGIA-PACIFIC BUILDING.IT’S AWESOME.HOPEFULLY I’LL GET ONE THOSE JOBS IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.A ECONOMIC BOOSTER.

text: The early years of the twenty-first century saw several losses for the American theatre but also marked the emergence of a new generation of exciting playwrights. In this book, Christopher Bigsby explores the work of nine of these developing talents, and the importance of issues including race, gender and politics for their writing. Increasingly, these new figures are gaining their reputations not on Broadway but in small theatres and small towns or even abroad, bringing fresh and diverse perspectives to contemporary American drama. With a focus on female writers and on issues of personal and public identity in contemporary society, this volume investigates the styles and techniques these playwrights favour, the themes they raise, and their role in a changing America and a changing world.

Discover the stories and team behind Icelandic Eagle Gin and Old Islandia Gin! The Gin Guide caught up with Volcanic Drinks CEO Alfred Palsson to find out all about the gins, how it all started, how they're made, his favourite gins, and the plans for the future.
What did you do before creating your distillery?
After the financial crisis of 2008, I decided to start my bottling company, Volcanic Drinks ehf. And in 2016, Icelandic Mountain Spirits ehf was founded. One of the founders of this company was 'The Mountain' from the world-famous series 'Game of Thrones', Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, who also won the title of The World’s Strongest Man in 2019. Our first product was the Mountain vodka, a super-smooth vodka. The vodka did very well so we decided to launch our gins, which have been equally well received.
What is the inspiration behind Icelandic Eagle Gin?
Our products are inspired by the old Icelandic legends of The Guardians of Iceland. The Giant, The Eagle, The Dragon and The Taurus. Legends say that these mythological creatures are the Guardians of Iceland and protectors against all of its enemies. The Eagle is the defender of the north of Iceland, and each bottle and taste represents our vision of The Guardians.
The gins are continuously distilled 7 times and blended with natural Icelandic water, which gives them the purity and unique taste. The main botanical is juniper berries and the end result in our mind is a smooth, tasty gin with a 43% alcohol content by volume.
The biggest challenge is mainly the expansion of the brand. We live in Iceland which is distant from many of our target markets and getting the gin to the right people is challenging work. That said, when anyone tastes the quality of our gin and vodka, we see an appreciation of the products and every new customer helps reinforce our brand and the expansion of our business – this we consider to be one of our main achievements.
With a splash of ginger ale and a twist of lemon peel.
Other gins on my shelf would perhaps be something like Brockmans Gin or Hendrick's Gin.
What's next for Volcanic Drinks - any exciting plans?
We have partnered with Gerard Connolly of Icelandic Drinks in the UK who is helping our growth in that market. For example, we attended the IFE Event in London in 2019 and this has opened up some exciting opportunities with distributors. In addition, we are in the process of setting up a filling line for miniatures, so hopefully soon we will able to offer miniature versions of Eagle Gin to a new market. Exhibiting at other trade shows are already planned for later in the year. We are very proud of our gins, and we are certain that once you have tried them, you will appreciate the true quality of Icelandic Eagle Gin and Old Islandia Gin.

Sports Labs- What is the Big Fuss About Hybrid Turf Systems?
What is a hybrid turf system?
Hybrid systems were spawned from early iterations of soil-strengthened systems where soils were ameliorated with fibers or plastic mesh. These modifications enhanced or reinforced the soil structure to improve the root anchoring and retention, thus allowing some extended play to be sustained on natural grass surfaces that were suitably treated.
The modern hybrid turf system is a combination of synthetic fibers mixed with natural turf.
The first iteration of this was the Desso Grassmaster injected fiber system which has been around since 1989, making it the very first to enter the market. A mesh or backing which contained fibers anchored to it was available in the early 1990's, however it was not popular and so it was not until 2003 that we see textile-based systems competing with the injected system that Desso produced.
Around 15 years ago a Dutch manufacturer produced a woven product which was denser and much like a lightweight artificial turf; here an open mesh backing allowed grassroots to deeply penetrate through the backing and provide a sound anchor to the root zone. There are now many products on the market based on this same basic design.
Things have evolved a great deal from the modified soil structures of the past. Now we have sophisticated machines that inject synthetic fibers into the soil, textile turf systems which have biodegradable backings and even shock absorption layers incorporated within the root zone.
What are the benefits of using a hybrid system instead of developing good quality stadium turf or using artificial grass?
Aesthetics – Even when the natural grass is worn, the pitch will still have a good visual appearance to both spectators and to TV cameras due to the green synthetic fibers showing through the surface. Some versions of the turf have up to 15% synthetic fibers in the construction. Even injected systems will have around 5%, so there is sufficient coverage to appear green even when badly worn.
Cost – Textile-based systems are much more cost-effective to install and maintain than other turf reinforcement systems, sometimes by as much as half the price. This depends on the design of the pitch. Hybrid-based systems allow higher pitch usage. It may be possible to reduce the size and number of pitches at training facilities, thereby reducing on-going maintenance costs.
On-going Costs – Once installed, a textile-based system costs no more than a standard grass pitch to maintain. By comparison, some other turf reinforcement systems will need more intensive maintenance and fertilizer regimes, and these can increase the on-going materials and labor costs.
Equipment Costs – There is no requirement for specialist maintenance equipment with hybrid systems.
Revenue Generation – The resilience of hybrid systems allows the pitch to be used for some additional events on nonmatch days, including corporate football days, concerts and public meetings -- all generating additional revenue for the club.
How much does it cost to install? How does this compare to the cost of developing a good quality natural turf?
This is a difficult one to answer because it does depend on the design of the pitch. There are a number of variables possible, so factoring these into the cost plan is important to make sense of overall costs. Textile-based systems have been laid on a fairly rudimentary root zone then grown in over it. This can be quite cost-effective but may throw up maintenance challenges down the line. Injected systems work best on a properly constructed root zone up to 20cm thick. For this reason, they are traditionally more expensive than textile-based systems.
How do we know that it provides the benefits that are claimed?
Experience – With Grassmaster and Xtragrass and the number of years hese products have been on the market, there is a wealth of experience out there. This is underscored by the large number of clubs that have recently invested in hybrid systems for their stadiums. User feedback is scarce, but we do know that sand-based pitches are firm to play on. Grounds maintenance staff do appear to be positive about the use of hybrid turf in what have become known as multi-use venues.
Durability – The ability to use the surface more and effectively repair the surface has made the hybrid more acceptable to the natural turf community. At this time, the growth market is focused on stadiums. The initial cost to invest in a pitch and ongoing maintenance costs and labor mean that we will not see many community pitches using hybrid turf at this time. But, as the systems develop, we may see more filtering into lower leagues and high-use pitches used by community clubs.
How can we assess performance?
Comparisons – At Sports Labs, we conduct ongoing research that focuses specifically on the comparison of turf systems. This process involves testing natural, hybrid and artificial turf surfaces. The study has already taken in hundreds of fields and with samples spread across Europe. In this way, we are able to encapsulate the variety of surfaces, environmental conditions and maintenance practices which are used across the market.
Player Perception Study – In association with the Scottish FA and the Scottish PFA, we are conducting a major player perception study to collect data on how players feel about the surfaces they are using in the professional league. This study is throwing up many interesting metrics which will be published widely in the summer of 2018.
Correlation – Our objective is to correlate player perception with performance data for the surfaces played on -- and thus help manufacturers fine-tune their products to be more aligned with what players want from a surface.
Comment - Hybrid surfaces are here to stay and as technology develops so surely surfaces will improve, too. We are certain that Sports Labs will be involved in this evolving and developing market and continue to help shape future product developments.

Accordingly, working with Community Based Organizations (CBOs), Mankind adheres to the philosophy that no development program and strategy can fully achieve its target without a meaningful and democratic participation of the people. This “Participation of people” can only be achieved through broad based, self-sustaining and development oriented institutions at the community level.

Social Organization is an integral component of Mankind programs. The organization focuses on formation and strengthening of Women Organizations (WOs) through close interaction with Village Organizations (VOs). Mankind visualizes social organization as a mean towards self-reliance of partner communities by accepting responsibilities for their development at local level. The social organization emphasizes on empowerment of local communities, especially women, through enhancing their capacities.
Advocacy has remained one of the most important cross cutting themes at Mankind interventions for women and children development since its inception. However recently, Mankind has formally stepped into advocacy on the empowerment of women and children.
