In case you’re despite everything biting the dust your hair with destructive concoction colors, you should consider changing to characteristic hair colors. Late examinations have discovered a solid connection between normal hair color use and the improvement of malady. One investigation, distributed in the International Journal of Cancer, found that people who color their hair once every month or more for longer than a year have double the opportunity of creating bladder malignant growth than the individuals who don’t color. Clients for over 15 years increment their hazard up to multiple times. It’s terrible however evident, and this is just the start… 艶黒美人
In an acclaimed Yale University Study, it was discovered that lifetime clients of dull hued hair colors expanded their danger of creating Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. The majority of them ladies right now, started utilizing hair shading before 1980. While substance hair colors have unquestionably changed since this time, they despite everything are
n’t totally protected. There have been various investigations connecting the utilization of these items to maladies and fatal tumors.
Not exclusively can substance hair colors produce genuine wellbeing dangers, they additionally harm the hair by entering the hair fingernail skin and harming the strands from the back to front. Hair that has been colored with synthetic compounds for extensive stretches frequently seems dull and dormant. This wouldn’t occur if normal colors were utilized.
Regular hair colors, then again, produce no undesirable reactions and don’t infiltrate the hair fingernail skin by any stretch of the imagination. Colors produced using plant materials fortify the hair as opposed to harming it. Some basic common hair colors incorporate henna, dark pecan bodies, savvy, dark tea and rhubarb. Utilizing these materials, you can make practically any shading you need from red to profound dark and everything in the middle of, and you can do it without harming your hair or scalp.
In the event that creation your own regular hair color doesn’t speak to you, there are a few common hair biting the dust units available. Be cautious, be that as it may, as once in a while items are named “normal” when they despite everything contain heaps of synthetic substances. Continuously read the fixing list and don’t be tricked by smooth showcasing stunts. For the best outcomes, check your neighborhood wellbeing nourishment store and see what brands they convey. On the off chance that you need to utilize henna, consistently use body workmanship quality, particularly if your hair was recently colored with synthetic substances.
Continuously do your exploration (and don’t simply believe me) before kicking the bucket your hair with a color. Settle on an educated choice for the advantage regarding your wellbeing. On the off chance that you buy regular or natural hair color, or in the event that you make your own at home, you shouldn’t have any issues. Nonetheless, it’s constantly prescribed that you test a little territory of the hair before passing on your whole head with regular hair color. In view of its tendency, similar outcomes won’t be had by everybody and you need to ensure you like the shading before you’re left with it.

Breaking: When people are in a bad mood, their twits reflect it.
Drawing on messages posted by more than 2 million people in 84 countries, researchers discovered that the emotional tone of people’s messages follows a similar pattern not only through the day but also through the week and the changing seasons. The new analysis suggests our moods are driven in part by a shared underlying biological rhythm that transcends culture and environment.
The report, by sociologists at Cornell University in New York and appearing in the journal Science, is the first cross-cultural study of daily mood rhythms within the average person using such text analysis. Previous studies also have mined the mountains of data pouring into social-media sites, chat rooms, blogs and elsewhere on the Internet but looked at collective moods over time, in different time zones or during holidays.
In other news, sky blue, apple red.
Teach courtesy by example to your offspring at the playground:
Police were still trying to determine why Flowers-Vassell, who had just dropped off a student, allegedly pulled her 2008 Honda Civic alongside a vehicle driven by Karolyn Browden of Decatur and encouraged Browden to “bring it on” before pointing the gun at her, Perkins said.
Browden was dropping off a daughter and the daughter’s friend at the Lithonia school on Browns Mill Road when the incident occurred, police said. Browden told police she didn’t know what caused Flowers-Vassell to allegedly brandish the gun.
For the first time since Dave Stouder gave me a DayTimer as a Christmas present in 1979, I am not ordering new calendar inserts for the upcoming year.
I’ve gone Google calendar with my Android.
For one thing, there is nothing whatsoever on my calendar that could either embarrass anyone or give away anything that isn’t already public knowledge.
For the other thing, I trust Google, though not implicitly, enough to expect them to show a level of integrity unknown to, say, for example, just to pull a for instance out of thin air, Facebook, because, despite a few well-publicized missteps, Google has a track record of trying not to be evil.
Nude on the net:
Thanks to European data privacy rules, some folks have successfully requested and received a detailed list of all the data that Facebook has kept about them. They’ve released a redacted version of the document for one person, which comes in at a hefty 880 pages. To be honest, nothing in this is all that surprising, but it does highlight just how much data Facebook ends up with and that it appears to not delete very much, if anything, ever.
The parts that seemed a bit questionable to me were things like recording every computer from which you’d ever logged in… as well as a list of all other Facebook people who have logged in from that same machine. I’m assuming they use this for security/anti-phishing, but it’s still a bit creepy to keep all that information. The other part that’s a bit strange is that Facebook keeps deleted messages. That’s a bit more troubling, since most people expect that when they delete things, they’re really deleted. Still, while a lot of people may make a big deal out of this, it still doesn’t seem particularly surprising or really bad. At best it’s just a reminder of how much info you’re giving out, and that Facebook is hanging onto… forever. Perhaps your “permanent record” is becoming a real thing.
Addendum, Later That Same Day:
At sfgate dot com, James Temple expresses his qualms about Facebook’s
creepy internet stalking “frictionless sharing.” Then he describes how to tweak your privacy settings:
From there, click on each app (I had 26), and change the selection following “Who can see posts and activity from this app?” from “friends” to “customize.” Finally, click to change the setting to “only me.”
Despite the pain, this can be a useful exercise. You’ll likely be shocked at the number of apps that a) you never realized you authorized b) have the right to post to Facebook “as you” and c) have access to your photos, videos, relationships and other information generally irrelevant to their stated function.
Tom Papantonia interviews Chancey Devega on the Republicans’ odious Southern Strategy:
. . . mostly a mix of old, white, angry people who are upset that a black man lives in the White House.
Please, someone, convince Ralph Nader to learn to play the flute, cut the soles out of his shoes, and go live in a tree somewhere far far away.
His habit of public self-gratification is not only tiresome, but also destructive.
He is unsafe at any speech.
Another gambling addict teeters on the brink.
Morgan Stanley (MS), which owns the world’s largest retail brokerage, is being priced in the credit- default swaps market as less creditworthy than most U.S., U.K. and French banks and as risky as Italy’s biggest lenders.
The cost of buying the swaps, or CDS, which offer protection against a default of New York-based Morgan Stanley’s debt for five years, has surged to 456 basis points, or $456,000, for every $10 million of debt insured, from 305 basis points on Sept. 15, according to prices provided by London-based CMA. Italy’s Intesa Sanpaolo SpA (ISP) has CDS trading at 405 basis points, and UniCredit SpA (UCG) at 424, the data show. A basis point is one-hundredth of a percent.
I have difficulty feeling sympathy for a three-card monte dealer.
Live by the credit default swap, die by the credit default swap.
Robert Reich explains (emphasis added):
Government can hire people directly to maintain the nation’s parks and playgrounds and to help in schools and hospitals. It can funnel money to help cash-starved states and local government so they don’t have to continue to slash payrolls and public services. And it can hire indirectly – contracting with companies to build schools, revamp public transportation and rebuild the nation’s crumbling highways, bridges and ports.
Not only does this create jobs but also puts money in the hands of all the people who get the jobs, so they can turn around and buy the goods and services they need – generating more jobs. Not exactly rocket science.
But congressional Republicans are firmly opposed. Why don’t Republicans get it? Either they’re knaves – they want the economy to stay awful through next election day so Obama gets the boot. Or they’re fools – they’ve bought the lie that reducing the deficit now creates more jobs.
Follow the link to see Dr. Reich demolish the “cut spending and deregulate” shibboleth.
Me, I’m betting on “fools led my knaves.”
The terrorism of fear is the goal of terrorism. It has turned our national fear of terrorists into its our own homegrown form of terrorism.
Dan MacArthur writes of modern day witch hunts:
Hebshi is a self-described half-Jewish, half-Arabic, dark-skinned mother of twins. Armed agents handcuffed her and removed her from a flight from Denver to Detroit on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Fighter jets accompanied the aircraft to its destination where it was isolated and surrounded by officers.
It seems that fellow passengers expressed suspicions to the flight crew about Hebshi and a couple of men sitting in her row who they believed spent an inordinate amount of time in the restroom.
Hebshi was placed in a holding cell, strip-searched and interrogated. She told The Associated Press that she felt “violated, humiliated and sure that I was being taken from the plane simply because of my appearance.”
She was released after four hours with profuse apologies for the inconvenience. But that was small comfort to Hebshi and certainly would be for my wife.
My wife fears she may be similarly targeted as a dark-haired, dark-eyed Nebraska-American — burdens she bears with grace in a blonde-worshipping, Big Red-loathing state.
Under 400k for the first time in weeks:
Applications for jobless benefits dropped by 37,000 in the week ended Sept. 24 to 391,000, the fewest since April, Labor Department figures showed today. Economists forecast 420,000 claims, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey. An agency official said the data probably reflected a “slight mistiming” in the seasonal factors used to modify the figures.
The pace of firings has remained little changed this year while companies are reluctant to hire at a time when the economy is slowing and concerns of a European default rise. Federal Reserve policy makers last week announced more unconventional measures to boost jobs and the economy.
No doubt this could be easily cured by laying off more wprkers.
The description in the story is understated (link fixed):
Heavy rain caused flooding throughout Hampton Roads, but the worst of it was reported in the northern part of Virginia Beach. A flash flood warning and then a flood warning were in effect for the city for most of the night. The last flood warning expired at 10:30 p.m. Some roads were closed and city police reported cars stuck in the flood waters.
I got home from DL only by driving through two of the deepest puddles I’ve ever encountered on a roadway, if you can call something 100 yards long and up to the running boards if I had running boards “puddles.” The worst one was on a side street where alternative routes were readily available. The neighbors were all clustered along the road, but did any of them bother to warn drivers? No, tow truck breath.
It took my friend five hours to make the 16-mile drive home from her work. She did encounter neighbors who were standing in the floods warning drivers to turn back or keep to the left or so on.
Her experience also confirmed my prejudice against electric everything in cars. Her electric windows and locks failed (they are working again now).
While poised at the edges of flooded areas, she several times had the dubious pleasure of watching macho men and wonder women in their macho trucks and studly SUVs (and one potent Prius) come up behind her, honk angrily, drive around, and stall in the water (with the Prius, it was more like float away).
William Strunk, Jr.:
Peter van Buren, author of We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People, tells of his experiences being
intimidated investigate by the State Deparment’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security.
On the same day that more than 250,000 unredacted State Department cables hemorrhaged out onto the Internet, I was interrogated for the first time in my 23-year State Department career by State’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) and told I was under investigation for allegedly disclosing classified information. The evidence of my crime? A posting on my blog from the previous month that included a link to a WikiLeaks document already available elsewhere on the Internet.
As we sat in a small, gray, windowless room, resplendent with a two-way mirror, multiple ceiling-mounted cameras, and iron rungs on the table to which handcuffs could be attached, the two DS agents stated that the inclusion of that link amounted to disclosing classified material. In other words, a link to a document posted by who-knows-who on a public website available at this moment to anyone in the world was the legal equivalent of me stealing a Top Secret report, hiding it under my coat, and passing it to a Chinese spy in a dark alley.
Attempts to classify documents that are already public would seem somewhere between laughable and stupid, except that those attempts are backed by the life-crushing police power of the state.
Read the whole thing.
Shaun Mullen wonders how it got this way:
I am still having a difficult time getting my head around this, but it appears that today’s Republican Party is adamantly against abortions for the unborn, adamantly against health care for the newborn if their mother chooses not to have an abortion and lacks insurance, adamantly for letting an adult with serious health issues die if they lack insurance, and adamantly for executing people even under the flimsiest of evidence.
Have I got that right? Yes I do, but the question arises as to how the GOP got itself tied in such seemingly contradictory knots.
That’s easy: Obeisance to ideological purity no matter the circumstances, an unwillingness to listen to the views of others and a win-at-all-costs mentality as the GOP continues to devolve from a traditional political party to something resembling a religion.

Posted on: 10 September 2015
When you're a homeowner, it's a satisfying feeling to grab a few tools from your garage and tackle a project in your yard. While you can adequately keep your trees trimmed and looking tidy, there are times that you should put your tools down and call a professional tree service like Pioneer Tree & Landscape, Inc. to handle the job for you. Tackling a problem that's too big for the average person can often result in damage to your home or yard and possibly even an injury to yourself. Here are three tree-related issues for which you should defer to a tree service.
Trimming Above Ground Level
While it's safe to trim a tree when you're standing on the ground, any cuts you need to make high up the tree are best to leave for a professional. Using a chainsaw while standing on a ladder or climbing the tree can often spell disaster for the untrained person, but a tree service can approach the job with safety as the focus. Professionals tackle elevated trimming in a variety of ways, including using a boom truck to safely hold the operator while he or she makes the cuts. A three service will also often attach heavy-duty ropes to the limbs needing to be cut in order to lower the limbs to the ground in a controlled manner after they're cut.
Working On Trees Along The Edge Of Your Property
If you need to work on trees that are located along the edge of your property, it's best to involve a professional tree service to avoid running into problems. It's often difficult for the amateur to control which way a tree branch, or even the tree itself, falls upon being cut. If you can't control the direction, you're at risk of the tree breaking your fence or even falling into your neighbor's yard and causing problems with him or her. A professional will be able to tackle the tree systematically to ensure that each limb safely falls into your yard.
Dealing With Dead Trees
Cutting down dead trees is dangerous, because the job is unpredictable due to the brittle nature of each branch. Fragile branches can often tumble to the ground unexpectedly and cause injuries to you and those working alongside you. A tree service has experience dealing with problems of this nature and will know how to complete the job safely, often by clearing the surrounding area of hazards and using ropes to secure branches before cutting them.Share

Seminoles Attack. Sudden attacks by camouflaged Seminole gunmen on exposed American positions, military trains, and forts, like the one pictured here, characterized the Second Seminole War. The Seminoles’ skillful use of the swampy Florida terrain to launch hit-and-run raids, and their cultivation of multiple international sources of supply for military stores, enabled them to drag out the war far longer than most Americans expected and to extract important concessions from Washington.

Throughout the research and writing of my most recent book, Thundersticks: Firearms and the Violent Transformation of Native America, friends, family, and colleagues asked me repeatedly how it would speak to current public debates over the Second Amendment. My editor, in particular, emphasized that this question was bound to come up whenever I gave a public talk or interview on my work. Despite such counsel, I was reluctant to frame the book in such terms. As readers of this forum are likely aware, most historians agree that indigenous gunmen had little or nothing to do with the Second Amendment, regardless of whether that phrase is interpreted as an individual right or a right of the states to regulate their own militias.[i] I did not (and do not) want our understandable preoccupation with what to do about the current scourge of gun violence to overshadow my book’s focus on a major historical development: the emergence of guns, powder, and shot as military necessities for Native people and the dynamic ways Indians shaped their cultures and politics to address this condition. A number of reviews of the book on popular websites catering to gun enthusiasts expressed positive surprise that an academic from an eastern, urban university (none of them explicitly mentioned the ethnicity of my name) wrote a book on firearms without using it as a political bludgeon.[ii] Yet as my inner circle predicted, I have found it neither possible nor desirable to cordon off considerations of my findings from our current politics. Over the course of more than a year of giving public book talks, I’ve noticed a disturbing pattern of my appearances coinciding with American mass shootings at schools, offices, night clubs, concerts, and churches, never mind smaller-scale shootings in my home city of Philadelphia and workplace of Washington, DC. Our urgent need to talk to one another across our partisan divides, and for historians to shed whatever light they can on this disturbing moment, has led me to reflect more openly in public settings about what we might learn from Native Americans’ historic experiences with firearms. I expect neither the political left nor the right will be fully satisfied with my conclusions.
Opponents of gun control who argue that it would be next to impossible for the federal government to control illegal arms trafficking, and that suppression of gun ownership would embolden governmental tyranny, will find evidence for their arguments in my book. During the nearly three centuries of history which I explore, colonial, imperial, and national authorities were utterly incapable of preventing gun runners, including their own people in times of war, from supplying the Native American market. The demand was just too high and the potential profits (in the form of furs, wampum, slaves, and land) too great. Indeed, numerous government and military officials themselves got in on the act. Such roguish behavior, combined with Native savviness at cultivating multiple suppliers, meant that early modern states were rarely able to cut off Native people from arms and ammunition. Of course, this is not to say that the modern state would prove equally inept if given sufficient resources.
Second Amendment advocates also contend that investing government with such power would be inimical to liberty, that a government that does not fear the people is at risk of becoming tyrannical. Native people’s history certainly bears out such thinking. To the extent that Indians successfully defended their land, lives, and sovereignty from colonial states between the seventeenth and late nineteenth centuries, it was largely because they represented a military threat. Once the government had successfully disarmed Plains Indians, it began confiscating their territory with even greater impunity than before and even seizing their precious children for abusive re-acculturation. Echoes of that past resonated during the American Indian Movement’s 1973 takeover of Wounded Knee to protest a host of injustices committed by white Americans against their indigenous countrymen and women. What really made the public—and federal agents—take notice was the protestors’ showcasing of their arsenal, which turned out to be far more meager than they made it appear.[iii]

The common argument against gun control, that the best way to oppose “bad guys” with guns is “good guys” with guns, often lampooned by the left, actually has some support in Native American history. Thundersticks traces a pattern in which tribes that managed to seize temporary control of an emerging gun market became predatory raiders who exploited lesser armed peoples for captives, slaves, hunting territory, wampum, and tributaries. These attacks ebbed only when the distribution of arms became more even, or, in other words, when the victims had the means to fight back.
Yet the greatest lesson Thundersticks has to offer our own time is that when everyone is armed, lots of people die from gun violence. True enough, Native people needed firearms to defend themselves against armed outside aggressors, indigenous and colonial alike. Yet that circumstance created a world of endemic gun violence in which men were likely to lead short lives and women and children lived in constant terror of enemy gunmen taking them captive and selling them into slavery, if they did not shoot them down first. I have been immersed in that historical world for several years, and it is not one in which I would wish to live. Unfortunately, many of my fellow Americans do live in conditions approximating it. For decades, gunfire in the streets has been a fact of life in number of America’s poorest, urban, disproportionately black and brown neighborhoods. Recent studies have found that some young people living in these environments have levels of post-traumatic stress disorder akin to soldiers returning from war. Now that white people, particularly their children, are beginning to feel vulnerable to gun violence in the places where they live, study, worship, and seek entertainment, public opinion for government to “do something” is building to a pitch.[iv]
Whatever that something is, the history of Native America teaches that it will be rife with contradictions. If we are going to be free from the tyranny of gun violence, we will be more vulnerable to governmental tyranny, a threat which many on the left have only recently recognized because of the treasonous collusion of the Trump campaign with Russia and the Trump administration’s flagrant disregard for the separation of powers, civil rights, voting rights, reproductive rights, press freedoms, and truth. If government cracks down on easy access to guns, it will certainly give rise to new forms of criminality and official corruption. Not least of all, we should consider a point made to me by some of my Native contacts and black Philadelphian neighbors: that among people of color with long histories of abuse at the hands of white America, there is a body of opinion that guns are the last line of defense, even as everyone recognizes that guns in white hands have served as tools of oppression.[v] That’s a point with which both the left and right need to reckon.

After completing an interview with Signe Baumane for 2013's series of blog posts, she asked me the following question:
"why are you so interested in the subject of women in animation?"
Although the reasons why I started this project have been built upon with every year that goes by, the core reason remains the same. And although it ended up being a little long winded, Signe's question helped solidify my motivations for moving from a yearly series of interviews to a full-fledged blog on women who work in the field of animation. My response to Signe's question was as follows.
"A valid question.
I have a sister who has a sister-in-law and a niece. I'm told by Tricia (my sister) and Rose (my sister's sister-in-law) that Gabrielle (Tricia’s niece) considers me to be one of the 'coolest old dudes that she knows' partially because I work on cartoons and partially because Gabrielle and I watch a lot of the same Anime. Visiting Trish in Boston is usually pretty fun for me because, even though I don't go to as many Anime cons as Gabrielle does we do speak the same language that comes from the shared experience of Japanese animated film. Anyways, as I started working on these blog posts, I thought it might be something interesting for Gabrielle to read and I was hoping that she might be encouraged by the stories and advice from those who have gone before her.
After undertaking this project, I realized very quickly that I don't have much experience with girls, be they toddler, tween, teenage, or anything in-between. Whenever girls see my animation studio’s name on my badge at conventions/festivals, I usually get a couple that say they want to get into animation, however I never know what to say other than to speak in generic advice that might work for both girls and boys.
In my not-so-humble opinion, women have a unique perspective that we, as men, don’t. I’m a firm believer that the whole ‘men having a feminine side’ thing is nothing more than a myth. Let men be men and let women be women. We don’t need to live in a homogenized culture where everyone is alike or striving to be what we are not. Rather, we should enjoy our own unique perspectives—and by extension, as filmmakers, we should put that perspective into our films. When I first watched the 'Joy Luck Club' I was so floored [by the richness of the story and the passion in the acting] that once it was over, I rewound the tape and watched it a second time (novel written by a woman, screenplay written by a woman and a man, and film directed by a man). Yes, I admit, I enjoy watching 'Step Up', another film written by a woman and this time directed by a woman. The point is, women have stories to tell. They have perspectives that men don’t. And those stories need to be told. Personally, I question whether women can truly tell their stories within the established studio structure, but that’s a much larger discussion.
Suffice it to say, by working on this series, it is my hope that not only will people have the opportunity to get to know animated films that they might not have discovered otherwise, but also that girls will be encouraged to consider the field of animation for their career. Animation has traditionally been a male-dominated field since its inception, with women playing supporting roles (like the ink and paint girls of Walt Disney Studios). However, with the cost of tools decreasing, the proliferation of schools teaching animation skills and software, and the opportunity to reach a world-wide audience for pennies via the Internet, there's never been a better
time for women to create animated films and share with the world their unique voice, stories, and perspectives. Simply put, the animation community needs more women animators, scriptwriters, and [especially] directors in order for it to progress forward and fulfill its potential—otherwise we risk stagnation with only one
perspective being told over and over, ad infinitum.
As I branched out further and started to research the role that women have had in the field of animation (partially for my own edification and partially to make these blog posts more interesting), the dearth of information has been alarming. I can find tons of information about men who work in animation, but women are notable by the absence of information--even though there is anecdotal data scattered around about women who have been working in animation since the early 1900’s. So, since I don’t know of anyone else who is working on compiling a lot of this information and disseminating it (just individuals and groups with small pieces of information here and there), I thought why not do it myself?
The response over the past several years has been very promising. Page hits from my blog have increased and the Women in Animation posts routinely outrank my other posts. Consider the following numbers:
388 page views Lynn Dana Wilton Interview
121 page views Review of Lynn's Silhouette Animation

Thoughts on my lecture at R.I.T.
Nothing that I write on my blog consistently out performs the Women in Animation posts since I shut down my website and switched to a blog back in 2008—a point that I raised in 2012 first with Lynn Dana Wilton and then with Ellen Besen. Lynn confided in me that she had received a very positive response from the community regarding her interview and had even received job inquiries from visitors to my blog. Ellen simply stated that if I wanted to, I could do more with this concept.
So, that is where I am now. Looking for ways to continue pushing the boundaries of this concept. While I am only starting to scratch the surface with this idea, responses have been overwhelmingly positive. I can only hope that it means I’m scratching where everyone is itching.
A bit long winded, but hopefully all that makes sense."

Four down, one more to go. I got around 5.5 hours of sleep again, which isn’t too bad for a body pumped up with corticoidsteroids. I watched Grey’s this morning (and the review I’ll write tomorrow will probably be the shortest ever. Not because it was a necessarily BAD episode, because I would have lots to criticize then. The idea of doing a time-warp episodes with flashback could have been a good one, if it had actually helped to move the present story forward in some way. But it really didn’t, so it was a strange episode)
About 10 minutes before me IV ended this morning , another patient got into the room for an IV as well. A woman in her 40s. I’m mean now and can only call her trashy. And I wouldn’t even have minded that much, if she hadn’t been chatty and stupid as well. Ugh! That’s the worst kind and I was so glad I could leave the practice after these few minutes.
I went to the office after that, because there was an important meeting of my bosses and my co-worker had previous appointments so I offered to come in for the the whole administrative stuff. And I didn’t really mind, because the sideeffects aren’t bothering me this much as they did at previous IV cycles. It was ok and the crappy mood I was in when I left, can’t really be blamed on the current MS attack or the meds or sideffects, but the usual meeting madness. It’s really my least favourite part of my job. But it was still ok to do it. I just like to whine and mope a little sometimes :-)
I passed up on two Starbucks visits which I most probably wouldn’t have passed on, if I weren’t trying to give it up for Lent. Once as a dessert treat after lunch and the second at the Central Station on my way back home tonight after the meeting. So yay me, for staying strong. (I just bought lots of chocolate instead *g*)
Not much more to write about though. I’ll definitely go to bed in a short while and try to get some sleep, even though I’m not sure I’ll be able to actually get some. But I should be well rested in the morning, when I plan to head over to my Mom’s place before 6 AM to watch the 2nd game of the German Hockey team together with my brother. Go Germany Go!
I’ve got the other game of our group on at the moment (SWE – BLR) and I’d have to say, the Germans were better against Sweden than Belarus are doing at the moment. So I guess that’s the team we have to beat on Sunday morning!

Decision No. 17,000
Appeal of DAWN ELIZABETH STEWART, on behalf of YUXIA SHI, from action of the Board of Education of the Eastport-South Manor Central School District regarding residency.
Decision No. 17,000
(November 16, 2016)
Law Offices of Thomas M Volz, PLLC, attorneys for respondent, Michael G. Vigliotta, Esq., of counsel
ELIA, Commissioner.--Petitioner appeals the decision of the Board of Education of the Eastport-South Manor Central School District (“respondent”) that Yuxia Shi (“the student”) is not a district resident and is therefore not entitled to transportation to a nonpublic school. The appeal must be dismissed.
According to petitioner, during the 2015-2016 school year, the student attended Bishop McGann-Mercy high school (“nonpublic school”), a nonpublic school in respondent’s district. During that year, the student lived with petitioner, who received a $1,200 stipend from the student’s parents to attend school in the United States. According to the record, this arrangement arose from a custody agreement between the student’s parents, petitioner, and Twinn Palms, Inc. (“Twinn Palms”), whereby petitioner agreed to host the student “during the entire tenure” of her enrollment at the school.
On September 28, 2015, petitioner completed a transportation request form requesting that the district transport the student to and from the nonpublic school. By letter dated October 13, 2015, respondent confirmed receipt of petitioner’s transportation request and indicated that it would hold a hearing on October 22, 2015 concerning her request. According to the record, on October 22, 2015, a meeting was held pursuant to section 100.2(y) of the Commissioner’s regulations to determine whether the student was a district resident entitled to transportation to the nonpublic school. Petitioner testified at the meeting regarding the student’s residency and her request for transportation.
By letter dated October 26, 2015, respondent’s assistant superintendent for personnel notified petitioner of the district’s determination that the student was not a resident of the district and therefore was not entitled to transportation to and from the nonpublic school. This appeal ensued. Petitioner’s request for interim relief was denied on December 2, 2015.
Petitioner contends that she has custody of the student and that the student currently resides within the district and intends to do so for four years. Petitioner further asserts that she exercises control over the student, prepares her meals, transports her to and from school, and assists with her shopping and laundry needs. For relief, petitioner seeks a determination that the student is a resident of the district and is therefore entitled to transportation to and from the nonpublic school.
Respondent contends that the student is not a district resident, and that there has been no permanent and total transfer of custody and control of the student to petitioner. Respondent further contends that the student is a foreign exchange student and is, thus, not a district resident or entitled to transportation as a matter of law.
With respect to respondent’s argument that the student is a foreign exchange student and is therefore not a district resident, I note that Education Law §§1709(3) and (33), as made applicable to central school districts under Education Law §§1804(1) and 1805, grant boards of education the power to regulate the admission of students, to admit non-resident students and to regulate and establish tuition fees for such nonresident students. Accordingly, prior Commissioner’s decisions have found that a board of education may prescribe the terms and conditions under which it decides to admit nonresident students, including foreign exchange students (Appeal of Volk, 43 Ed Dept Rep 186, Decision No. 14,964). Nevertheless, in this case, petitioner contends that she has custody of the student and that the student is a district resident. The record also indicates that respondent addressed petitioner’s request for transportation by providing her with the opportunity to present evidence concerning the student’s right to transportation to the nonpublic as a resident student.
Pursuant to Education Law §3635(1)(a), a board of education is required to provide transportation to students residing in the district provided the student resides within 15 miles of the nonpublic school in question, as measured by the nearest available route between home and school (Appeal of Pacione, 38 Ed Dept Rep 363, Decision No. 14,055). With respect to residency, Education Law §3202(1) provides, in pertinent part, as follows:
A person over five and under twenty-one years of age who has not received a high school diploma is entitled to attend the public schools maintained in the district in which such person resides without the payment of tuition.
The purpose of this statute is to limit the obligation of school districts to provide tuition-free education to students whose parents or legal guardians reside within the district (Appeal of Polynice, 48 Ed Dept Rep 490, Decision No. 15,927; Appeal of Naab, 48 id. 484, Decision No. 15,924). “Residence” for purposes of Education Law §3202 is established by one’s physical presence as an inhabitant within the district and intent to reside in the district (Longwood Cent. School Dist. v. Springs Union Free School Dist., 1 NY3d 385; Appeal of Naab, 48 Ed Dept Rep 484, Decision No. 15,924). A child's residence is presumed to be that of his or her parents or legal guardians (Catlin v. Sobol, 155 AD2d 24, revd on other grounds, 77 NY2d 552 (1991); Appeal of Polynice, 48 Ed Dept Rep 490, Decision No. 15,927).
The presumption that a child resides with his or her parents or legal guardians can be rebutted upon a determination that there has been a total, and presumably permanent, transfer of custody and control to someone residing in the district (Appeal of Polynice, 48 Ed Dept Rep 490, Decision No. 15,927; Appeal of Wilson, 48 id. 1, Decision No. 15,773). While it is not necessary to establish parental custody and control through a formal guardianship proceeding, it is necessary to demonstrate that a particular location is a child’s permanent residence and that the individual exercising control has full authority and responsibility with respect to the child’s support and custody (Appeal of Polynice, 48 Ed Dept Rep 490, Decision No. 15,927; Appeal of Wilson, 48 id. 1, Decision No. 15,773).
Generally, if parents or legal guardians continue to provide financial support for room, board, clothing and other necessities, custody and control has not been relinquished (see Catlin v. Sobol, 155 AD2d 24, revd on other grounds, 77 NY2d 552 (1991); Appeal of Polynice, 48 Ed Dept Rep 490, Decision No. 15,927). Similarly, where parents or legal guardians retain control over important issues such as medical and educational decisions, total control is not relinquished (Appeal of Polynice, 48 Ed Dept Rep 490, Decision No. 15,927; Appeal of France-Rayson, 48 id. 142, Decision No. 15,820).
Where the sole reason the child is residing with someone other than a parent or legal guardian is to take advantage of the schools of the district, the child has not established residence (Appeal of Cheng, 47 Ed Dept Rep 366, Decision No. 15,726; Appeal of Mendoza, 47 id. 285, Decision No. 15,698).
A residency determination will not be set aside unless it is arbitrary and capricious (Appeal of White, 48 Ed Dept Rep 295, Decision No. 15,863; Appeal of a Student with a Disability, 48 id. 171, Decision No. 15,828). In an appeal to the Commissioner, the petitioner has the burden of demonstrating a clear legal right to the relief requested and the burden of establishing the facts upon which petitioner seeks relief (Appeal of White, 48 Ed Dept Rep 295, Decision No. 15,863; Appeal of a Student with a Disability, 48 id. 171, Decision No. 15,828).
On the record before me, petitioner has not carried her burden of establishing that there has been a total and permanent transfer of custody and control over the student from her parents to petitioner. The record contains a copy of a “custody agreement” dated August 17, 2015, which granted temporary custody of the student to Twinn Palms, “and/or” petitioner “for the duration of the time” the student attends the nonpublic school. By its terms, the custody agreement is temporary and, thus, does not constitute a total or permanent transfer of custody or control to petitioner.
On appeal, petitioner submits a Non-Parent/Guardian Accepting Custody Affidavit (“Affidavit”) executed by petitioner on October 10, 2015. The affidavit indicates that the student will attend “all four years of high school in the United States ... until approximately June 26, 2019 or after ...” and includes two notations: “(possibly longer)” and “[p]ermenent [sic].” However, petitioner’s assertions as to the student’s future intentions do not negate the plain language of the custody agreement, which, as noted above, limits the custody arrangement to the “duration of the time” the student attends the nonpublic school. Therefore, petitioner has failed to rebut the presumption that the student lives with her parents outside the district.
Moreover, while petitioner asserts that she exercises control over the student’s activities and behavior and provides her with housing and food, she acknowledges that the student is “being supported by her natural parents” and that petitioner receives a $1,200 monthly stipend for this arrangement. On the totality of the record before me, I cannot conclude that there has been a total, permanent transfer of custody and control of the student to petitioner. The presumption that the student resides with her parents has not been rebutted and I cannot conclude that respondent’s determination that she is not a district resident entitled to transportation to the nonpublic school is arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable. Thus, the appeal must be dismissed.
THE APPEAL IS DISMISSED.
END OF FILE
The nonpublic school is not identified in the agreement.

Post 3: This year’s Open | This year’s You
As you may know, I am three weeks deep into a personal challenge of my own. The challenge is to lose about 3% body fat without losing more than 5 pounds of actual body weight. The trouble with tracking progress is that I swing 3-7 pounds a day depending on consumption and workouts. So my break point is 8-9% body fat– of which we will be testing March 5th with our Get Tanked folks. What does this have to do with your goals?
Well, as Nina would say, let’s meddle a little bit. I’ve been a personal trainer and/or CrossFit coach since 2003. I’ve heard all manner of resolutions and goals, from the most serious of individuals, be derailed by the simplest of excuses, like not having the right shoes that day. Now, the main goal should always be better than yesterday, or more importantly, make someone else better than yesterday. Even though many obstacles present themselves to our members (sometimes daily), I see people getting better everyday.
However, how much better are we getting? Are we getting as good as we can? Are we getting there as fast as we should? Do you feel as though you are spinning your wheels at times? I have this conversation with Jordan often, is good good enough? To be great, can you ever say you tried hard enough? There is nothing, NOTHING, I hate more than the statement, “I’m good.” It infuriates me. Your goal may not be to be great as in the standards of the world great, but it may simply be to be great in concerns to yourself.
Here’s the deal. What if you could be serious with yourself and block out 80% of the obstacles that knock you off track periodically from your goals? Hardline a goal and let nothing stop you from getting to it. Meddle meter going hot! Perhaps your goal is a box jump, pull up, muscle up, toes to bar, double under, rope climb, handstand push up, or enter movement here–> __________<——. First, do you practice these movements? I’m not talking 2 weeks before the Open. Would losing 10 pounds make it easier? 90% of the people who workout are trying to get fitter for life and are almost certainly trying to lose weight.
So let’s ask a few questions (cause I know you). How many alcoholic drinks do you consume weekly? How many sodas do you consume weekly? Do you snack on cupcakes or candy daily? Maybe it’s just a binge night. I can say from experience that a night of drinking and eating heavily can pack on 5 or 6 pounds in just that one night. Do you seriously think you can do those things with frequency and still lose weight? What if your problem is related to the poor mobility that you refuse to work on. Perhaps you want to snatch, overhead squat, or even air squat better but you can’t get the bar back, maintain a neutral spine, or get to depth with heels planted firmly to the floor. Well, wishing won’t get you there. Dedicated work, even on the boring stuff, will help you reach your goals.
I completely understand the concept of “I wanna live man!” But what if taking 8 weeks to put your head down, draw a line in the sand, dig your feet deep in the ground, and put in work propelled you toward a goal? I’m getting fired up right now trying not to type a bunch of stuff that seemingly would come off cynical or degrading. For me and my house as the Bible says.
I WILL reach my goal. I WILL intermittent fast. It works for my body. Oh man do I get hungry by 9:30am! But, I say too bad you big baby– you will get food when the clock says 11:00am. I WILL eat my 2 Mad Meal preps as my main food because it is easy and lessens the stress of prep and finding the right foods. I WILL NOT grab the M&M’s or Junior Mints I so crave by 4:00pm everyday driving to the box. I WILL have a beer or mixed drink with dinner on the weekend but anything more than that is off limits for next 6 weeks. Risking the narcissistic, I WILL have abs by the end of Open 2018. If I fail I do it publicly, but I humbly tell you that won’t happen. I want you to have that same confidence in yourself.
Lastly, what is 6-8 weeks in the grand scheme of things to jump start your personal fitness journey? How fast will 3 months, 6 months, or a year pass? Stand longingly looking back or stare daringly looking ahead.

Yin is spiritual energy and Yang is physical energy. You need to manipulate both spiritual and physical energy to mold jutsus.
In page 11 of chapter 510, Tobi explains that by administering imagination, and the spiritual energy which forms the basis of 'yin' power... he would create shape and form from nothingness. By administering vitality, and the physical energy which forms the basis of 'yang' power... he would breathe life into that form.
As you are probably aware, a ninja's chakra is composed of a balanced mix of his spiritual and physical energy. These two components are Yin and Yang, respectively.
The Yin and Yang nature seem to be the basis for most jutsus that do use nature alteration, but are non-elemental (e.g. genjitsu). It seems that Chakra is formed when combining spiritual and physical energy. Some people are more suited with one over the other, which might determine whether their balance of Yin and Yang naturally leans towards either side. Therefore not all jutsus require an exact balance of these two Yin and Yang. Instead varied proportions of the combined forces by different means based on the intent of the user determine the jitsu.
Inton (Yin Release)
Jutsu like genjutsu and the Yamanaka Clan's psychic jutsu are spiritual and which focus on the mind. So they must use Yin and Yang nature alteration, emphasizing the Yin. These all seem to be jutsu which focus on extending your own chakra to your opponent and connecting your mind (e.g., implanting an illusion) to theirs. Whether it’s to implant an illusion, read their mind, or project thoughts etc. This basically uses spiritual chakra as a manifestation of your mind.
Youton (Yang Release)
Jutsu like Shadow Clones, medical jutsu, and the Akimichi Clan's size jutsu are physical. They focus on manipulating physical substances or creating them from chakra. They must use Yin and Yang nature alteration, emphasizing the Yang.
Yoton (Yang Release) creates life force. Inton (Yin Release) materializes imagination. Onmyoton/In'youton (Yin-Yang Release) is a combination of both Yinton and Yangton (you could say the Sage of the Six Path's unique application of this is a bloodline ability). It allows one to imagine something and materialize it without giving up anything but chakra. In other words, giving form to one's imagination.
Yin + Yang = Chakra
Yin = Spiritual Energy
Yang = Physical Energy
Yin Release = Uses spiritual energy extending the mind
Yang Release = Uses physical energy extend the body
Yin-Yang Release = Yin Release + Yang Release

NASSAU, BAHAMAS — Police have identified a recent trend of young women becoming victims of sexual assault after being targeted on social media by their attackers, according to Commissioner of Police Paul Rolle.
“Investigators have noted a recent trend in sexual offences cases,” Rolle told the media at police headquarters.
“Young females are being targeted via social media and taken to the western district of New Providence and sexually assaulted.
“There were two incidents of the same method.”
The commissioner released crime statistics for the first half of the year.

Two races were held today on the Choptank in 5-10 knots of wind. Here it isn’t that the wind starts at 5 knots and builds to 10 or the reverse. Here the wind is 5-10 every minute of the day. And it shifts 30 degrees too.
Brian and I finished 3rd in the first race when we should have finished 8th or so and 11th in the second race when we were much closer to the front on the first leg. But that’s the nature of the racing here.
The Schofield brothers won the day with a 4, 1.
Arthur Anosov and his crew, Dave “Julius” Ceasar continue to dominate the regatta. The have great speed upwind and are sailing smart as well. They finished second in the first race today but were caught by the black flag at the start of the second race today (if u r over the start line early when the black flag is up u r disqualified) but will discard that score to to remain on top of the leader board tonight.
I am not sure how the scores work out as they haven’t been posted yet but I think Brian and I are in the top 5 and Arthur and Dave have a significant lead.
Two races are scheduled for tomorrow and one for Saturday.

Australian MPs demand Islamic headscarf ban in schools
Sunday, August 28, 2005
Australian Members of Parliament Bronwyn Bishop and Sophie Panopoulos have called for a ban on the wearing of Islamic headscarves in Australian public schools, saying it is an "iconic act of defiance." They are concerned about Muslim women failing to reveal their faces in photographic identification, and claim that this could be a security risk.
Bishop and Panopoulous are both members of the Liberal Party of Australia which is the major party in the governing Coalition. Bishop said there is a clash of cultures occurring in the country: "In an ideal society you don't ban anything," she told a television interviewer. She indicated she was talking of a ban only in schools, not at home.
Australian Muslims have angrily disagreed, say they should be allowed to comply with their religious doctrine. The moves to ban the Islamic headscarf - the hijab - began in France where it is banned from government schools.
The Australian Prime Minister, John Howard has responded stating that he is against any ban.
- "Bishop Backs Ban on Headscarves" — , August 28, 2005

Coconet is a network and platform for digital rights movement-building in the Asia-Pacific. Its online hub is Coconet.social, where the partners and members of the Coconet community produce and publish content on digital rights awareness, advocacy, and activism. This website also houses resources and blogs on digital rights, artificial intelligence, disinformation, and other issues related to digital rights movements in the region and around the world.
The Coconet community first came together at digital rights camps where they sought to understand the varying changes to their work brought about by technology. Co-convened by EngageMedia and the Association of Progressive Communications, the Coconet digital rights camps enhance the digital rights movement-building in the Asia-Pacific by providing changemakers in the region a space where they can network, share their experiences, and co-create solutions to address their collective challenges.
The camps build critical digital rights discourse and connect policy advocates and researchers to communications, film, art, media, and technology initiatives. Dedicated spaces for digital rights in the region foster strong relationships that catalyze the collaborations needed to strengthen the movement.
Coconet participants have ownership over the process through the camps’ open-space methodology and participatory nature. The camps also prioritise socialising and creativity as much as it does knowledge development, leading to long-term relationships and enthusiasm that propels the movement into the future.
As of 2020, two digital rights camps have taken place: Coconet I was held in 2017 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and Coconet II in 2019 in Antipolo, Philippines.
At Coconet II, over 120 changemakers deepened the regional and cross-sectoral networks developed at Coconet I, fostering over 20 campaigns and projects. The second camp also launched a series of platforms to support ongoing campaigns and collaborations in the Asia-Pacific. Read about it in our 2019 outcomes report.
At Coconet I, more than 100 journalists, human rights campaigners, women’s rights activists, digital security trainers, documentary filmmakers, writers, social media activists, and artists came together to discuss many of these issues. Coconet I resulted in more than 30 post-camp collaborations. Read more about it in our 2017 outcomes report.

During the late spring and summer of 1624, Palermo was under siege from a plague that cursed more than 10,000 inhabitants. Things were looking pretty bleak until in early July, when a lost hunter had a vision (as illustrated by this image, located at the saint’s sanctuary on Mount Pellegrino): Santa Rosalia appeared to him and promised to help him and the city of Palermo once he followed her instructions.
She explained in detail where her remains could be found, and ordered him, once they were unearthed, to carry her bones through the city streets.
The hunter honored the saint’s words. He located her bones, which were buried deep in a cave on Mount Pellegrino, and on July 15, 1624, Santa Rosalia’s relics were solemnly paraded throughout the city. Within three days residents began to recover. And by July 15, 1625, the plague was eradicated.
This is why Palermitani fill the streets annually during the days leading up to and including July 14 and 15: to celebrate La Santuzza, Santa Rosalia, and her purifying spirit.

Also: Cold Spring to get better access to reservoirs
The hiring of a new Cold Spring Police Department officer touched off a debate at the Tuesday (Sept. 8) meeting of the Cold Spring Village Board.
The board approved hiring officer Scott Lombardo, a 22-year veteran who recently retired as a sergeant with the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department. Lombardo was interviewed by the board in an executive session held earlier that day.
During the public comment period, village resident Heidi Bender asked why the hire was made without public input. Bender is running unopposed for a seat on the Village Board and will begin serving as a trustee in January.
She said that as part of the New York State-mandated review of municipal police departments, “in a lot of places, including Beacon, communities are embracing having citizens involved in these kinds of things.”
She then asked, “Why was the interview done in private?”
“I don’t know why a larger group of people would be needed,” Mayor Dave Merandy responded. “What input would they have in looking at someone’s resume?”
Bender then referred to the hiring of officer Scott Morris late last year. Morris resigned six months later after residents demanded he be fired because he was the supervisor at the scene of a fatal shooting of an unarmed black man in New York City in 2012.
“Is there something to be learned [from the hiring of Morris] when people found out after the fact?” Bender asked. “As elected officials, can we be more inclusive of the community we’re representing?”
Trustee Lynn Miller commented that including the public in the hiring process would set a bad precedent. “The Labor Board is very protective of people in the hiring and interview process,” she said. “There is an assumption of privacy when interviewing and we’re elected to do that work.”
Miller added that Lombardo will be on probation for 40 months. “If there’s a problem [with him] later it can be brought up later,” she said.
Bender persisted in her argument for more public involvement. “A transparent process can avoid a lot of these misunderstandings and a lot of the reactions we saw” in the Morris case, she said. “I just don’t see why there’s a threat [by] being inclusive in the process.”
“I don’t feel it’s a threat at all,” Merandy replied. “I just don’t see how involving more and more people, everyone with their own opinion, will make a better process and a better hire.”
Bender then asked when public input will be sought as part of the review of Police Department policies.
Merandy said he has not yet read a document recently provided by Officer-in-Charge Larry Burke, which he said can serve “as a starting point” for the development of police policies.
“As soon as we have that base to work from, we will have a public meeting and discuss what we feel is a decent policy,” Merandy said.
In other business…
Scenic Hudson will transfer ownership of a small property adjacent to the village reservoirs to the Village of Cold Spring. The parcel will help provide access for maintenance of the reservoir dams. The village will pay about $2,700 for survey and legal costs associated with the transfer.
The village will seek the advice of Oneonta attorney David Mertzig in an attempt to improve the pace of negotiations with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection.
The village needs to tap into DEP’s Catskill Aqueduct before making repairs to the village reservoir dams. Mertzig has assisted other municipalities that have experienced difficulties in dealing with DEP. Cold Spring’s negotiations with the agency have been ongoing for more than a decade.

How to Deal with Frustrating People
“Insisting the other person (their bad driving or selfish attitude) is the sole cause of your frustration results in (a) your continued frustration at the whim of others, and (b) the situation not turning out better for you next time.
To habitually regard yourself as the knower – the wiser one — in each of these run-ins is to cling to an unenforceable rule that states, “Other people must always behave in ways that make sense to me and are sympathetic to my needs.”“
Mondays can seem like the worst thing ever after an extended holiday weekend with friends and family. However, I realize I can be thankful for one thing: getting back to my normal eating and workout routine! Groceries are bought for the week and my exercise schedule is set.
Also, I should mention I’m thankful for falling asleep while trying to watch Liz and Dick last night. You will never hear me utter the words “But she’s a good actress…” again. Promise!

I think my results are quite good, for having started from scratch. Be sure to turn on the subtitles. I added English subtitles to all my Hebrew Challenge videos:
I actually recorded one video at least every 30 days, because that’s part of the Add1Challenge idea. If you want to watch my progress through these videos, I included them at the bottom of this post. But first I’ll write about my biggest take-aways of this challenge. By the way, if you’re now motivated to do an Add1Challenge yourself, there’s a new one starting in a few days I believe: the Add1Challenge. Full disclosure: the links to Add1Challenge are affiliate links, but as you can see in the videos, I’m a fan of this challenge and would recommend it anyway. If you prefer a non-affiliate link, go straight to www.add1challenge.com.
What I learned
I like challenges because they are concentrated language learning. Being concentrated, they make it more obvious where the problems lie. In my case, one problem that I already knew about was my lack of a language-learning routine. This was one of the reasons I signed up for the Add1Challenge in the first place, to have social pressure help me form a language learning routine. I’m not 100% there yet, but I’ve been learning Hebrew much more regularly than I otherwise would.
Another problem that I encountered: learning vocabulary that sounds different than any other word I know. One of the advantages of being a polyglot is that you can draw on so many different languages for mnemonics. I did take advantage of that, but due to the different phonology and the root consonant system, there were still Hebrew words for which I couldn’t find a good mnemonic. My solution, which I implemented quite late: rather than cramming too many strange new words, also look at word families within the target language and learn those. For example: ‘inyan (interest), la’inyan (to the point), yesh li inyan be… (I am interested in…), me’anyen (interesting), me’unyan (interested). Unfortunately I haven’t yet found a root-based dictionary of Hebrew, that would have been really helpful. If you know one, please let me know!
At the beginning of the challenge, I focused a lot on Anki, simply learning lots of words and also quite a bit of grammar. Later, I found that all these words weren’t really doing much for me, because I had trouble recognizing words in regular-speed speech and I needed too much time to come up with words myself when building phrases. I then remembered Anthony Lauder’s excellent talk from the Polyglot Conference in Budapest, where he told us that the human brain actually cannot process language at the speed as it is used, if it were to rely on a vocabulary list. The only way we can speak as fast as we do is because our brain chunks phrases. To say “I’m hungry, let’s go have falafel”, your brain does not look for the words for “I”, “am”, “hungry” and the like, it probably has a stored memory of “I’m hungry”, and also “let’s go”, and then maybe looks up “have” and “falafel”. So it only does 4 dictionary look-ups rather than 8. And language learners do 8 look-ups for this kind of phrase, that’s why they can’t speak or understand faster.
There is no way around it, you have to allow your brain the time to see & store chunks. You can speed up the process though. Here are some ways:
- Put chunks of words on your flashcards (rather than each card being one word)
- Challenge yourself to write X sentences using the same chunk
- Have tons of conversations or self-talk exercises, so that the most common phrases become chunks that you can recall without effort
- Select a few chunks beforehand and try to use each of them several times in your next conversation.
- (Possibly) if you’re a fast reader or have a lot of time on your hands, blast through a target-language book in a few days. You’ll pick up a lot of the author’s favourite chunks. It won’t work if you need more days though, because you’ll forget chunks before you see them again.
I will definitely use these insights in my next challenge! At this point, I haven’t yet reached my ultimate goal with Hebrew though, so I feel that I should continue studying it for a while longer, even though the motivation isn’t as high. I’m also drawn to improve my other languishing languages. On the other hand, there’s another Add1Challenge soon and Swedish or Vietnamese are looking shiny…

The original Dhivehi article was published on Mihaaru.com website on 26th January 2018.
The following is a loose translation:
For some, it is stirring fitna. However, those who are talking about it has no care. For them comparing Malé and the rest of the country is an undeniable reality.
The first time when I met Fathimath Shaira in 2014, she was the leader amongst the youth that was advocating the rights of Raajjethere (people coming from the rest of the country, except Malé) on social media. At that time they were talking about an old story that whoever had a permanent address Raajjethere, already knew about. However, over the past 3 years, with the ongoing activism, the blossoming Raajjethere movement is also a new beginning.
If there was any youth who was embarrassed to be born as a Raajjethere citizen, at some point described as ‘5.8 grams less’ second-class citizens, will be no more now. The word ‘Raajjethere‘ used in a pejorative way to belittle, had become something to be proud of and a term to take ownership of. Many took part in human rights brainstorming sessions and openly expressed their opinions. It wasn’t just the likes of ‘Raffushu’ (referred to as uncivilised people from other islands) people like Shaira only. Even those people who call Malé their homes too. That was one big change. The other new development was it revealed that there are more people than previously thought, who don’t want to listen to such talks. However, for Shaira, it showed more than the common feelings of a person.
The calls and criticisms are hailed on social media in the name of Raajjethere people, sometimes take the form of heated arguments and also small word battles. Eventually, normal conversation prevails. That is the extent of discourse at times. On Facebook pages, Twitter feeds and also on blogs. It can be said from the surface of the social media that under the main topic, side headline gets written, and amidst these many words written daily, unrelated topic calls and activities do get dragged and overlapped under Raajjethere movements ideals. However, the debate hasn’t yet surpassed beyond the internet. Hence, the question arises, has the time come?
Based on the anonymous responses to the discussions of people like Shaira, expressing concern of the revenge game that it might unleash, it is very clear that it is, in fact, a very delicate subject matter. It has a long-standing history, problems and emotions. Perhaps it is the greatest challenge to face by the Raajjethere movement. That their initial cause gets mixed up in amongst it all.
So what is the cause?
According to Shaira’s words, just two words, social justice. She believes that there is nothing to get confused about Raajjethere movement. On the contrary, some are trying to ‘mislead’ their call.
‘When we say social justice, there are those who twist it and makes it appear as something disruptive and of something between Malé and Raajjethere people,’ she said.
‘Those who twist it aren’t necessarily people from Malé. They just want to make it a taboo subject. As it bothers them when this subject surfaces. They don’t want to allow the talk of inequality between the rich and the poor citizens of the Maldives.’
It appears that similar vocabulary is used across different sides of the sphere of the social media to advocate for social justice. Considering the world experience, recently in places like the US, following different movements, interpretations and ideologies became popular. The talk about widening the gap between the rich and the poor, of the wealthy ‘elitists’ and capitalism as ‘epidemic’. About ‘living wage’. Descriptions like ‘Malé privileged’ stories. Calling for regional development and a federal system. But Shaira also believes that surrounding all these there is only just one topic.
Heart of the problem: Malé’s rent
Although it is a social justice or Raajjethere issue, in this discussion the most common and the most disagreements are present where the talk is about Raajjethere people who are forced to move to Malé and about Malé’s rent. However, Shaira noted that the issue of rent is raised due to a major reason.
‘Malé is divided into rent payers and rent receivers. In the issue of inequality (the difference between the rich and the poor), the rent plays a key role. It is something that affects everyone directly and indirectly. A person’s productivity, opportunities to education, healthcare and everything else too,’ She explained why Malé’s rent is mentioned.
‘The reason why the center of the talk is Malé and elsewhere since people are forced to move to Malé, due to centralization and leading to congestion in the capital city Malé, resulting in urban poverty. However, there are no official statistics to find out if the real poor people are the Malé born or those who migrated from elsewhere.’
Shaira also believes that it isn’t just those who have migrated from elsewhere of the Maldives, who live in poor conditions. But according to her, Raajjethere people’s living situation need not be used as a comparison too.
‘Looking at healthcare, education and job opportunities, the Raajjethere people are always in struggle, since the elitists try to keep it that way. That is one reason why they don’t want to lower Malé’s rent,’ she said.
Perhaps the problem does not lay with the Malé born and Raajjethere people. Perhaps the two sides should stop looking at both as enemies and instead both sides need to believe that there is a common ‘enemy’. Perhaps everyone’s aim should be, like Shaira says, ‘to get away from those who are entrapping them’. But who are these people? Are they political leaders? The wealthy people? Or those who are hiding behind the curtain?
Shaira is sure about one thing.
‘A government can be changed. But the layer that is there to influence the government cannot be changed,’ she said.
‘In a place where the government and the wealthy is mixed up, the policies will heavily lean more towards making a profit for companies, rather than protecting the rights of the public. I believe that even when we talk about this we don’t have to think about setting the tone that pleases the rich people. We don’t have to discuss inequality in the terms of the rich people, to please them. We are not here because some got rich and we are concerned about that. We are concerned here about the rich and elite group’s influence over our commoner’s lives through the policies.’
With that spirit, she built her story, in rejecting an economic theory. Shaira says that although the textbook says that when the wealthy are enabled to get richer, it will benefit the rest of the society, the ‘trickle down economics is only a myth’.
‘According to a theory in economic textbooks, when the top glass is full, it would trickle down to the glasses below. However, that isn’t how it happens,’ Shaira said.
‘The top glasses won’t ever fill. Before it gets filled they ensure that there is a bigger vessel to capture the spill through policy, it is the culture of the wealthy people to influence over in shaping up policies. They call that profit maximisation.’
It means that she noted that the wealthy do whatever they want without a care for human dignity. She said that ‘the profit maximisation shouldn’t be allowed to happen, in a manner that others have to pay for it.’
‘Not declaring the living wage (the minimum income necessary for a worker to meet their basic needs) is also such an example. Especially looking at the tourism industry, everyone would think it is an industry where Maldivians have a lot of opportunities. However, the total number of Maldivians in the tourism sector is lesser compared to the amount in civil service,’ Shaira noted.
Simultaneously she believes that although the government talks about providing social protection to ensure citizens do not fall into poverty ‘those safety nets catches the citizen while they are falling or after they fall.’
‘Compared to the number of taxes taken from the citizens, the social protection doors are extremely narrow. With the tax system, it doesn’t bring any enhancement to an individual’s life,’ said Shaira.
From all this one thing is clear, there are a lot of issues to be addressed. When a government that wants all its citizen to be congregated in Malé area is in power, the debate gets heated even more. However, will this debate break the social media’s perimeter and become a national debate?
In the Raajjethere movement, in 2014, a petition was prepared to be submitted to the government ‘calling to stop the congregation of Raajjethere people to Malé city and the sacrifice of regional development.’ For some reason, it failed. ‘Is regional development about just developing the greater Malé area? In the paper that questioned and called for regional development, mentioning the reasons, the first proposal was ‘to hold national level debates by including people of all classes and categories on land reclamation and relocation of people.’
Has the time come to change the course of Raajjethere movement to that route? Can in those meetings, feelings and opinions openly be expressed in a systematic way? And who would conduct it?
Shaira believes that for this ‘layered’ problems ‘reform should come to the layers’. She says that ‘due to many people’s concern, everyone is working towards getting out of this ‘environment’ and conceive a political platform which represents the people.’ However, Shaira has nothing to say about the future of the debate. As she doesn’t believe that the next step isn’t in the hands of the social media warriors.
‘The next step must come from the public. Not from me or from a small group of advocates like us,’ said Shaira.

Sir Ken Robinson on education…
There are three principles on which human life flourishes, and they are contradicted by the culture of education under which most teachers have to labor and most students have to endure.
The first is this, that human beings are naturally different and diverse…
The second principle that drives human life flourishing is curiosity. If you can light the spark of curiosity in a child, they will learn without any further assistance, very often. Children are natural learners. It’s a real achievement to put that particular ability out, or to stifle it. Curiosity is the engine of achievement
The role of a teacher is to facilitate learning. That’s it. And part of the problem is, I think, that the dominant culture of education has come to focus on not teaching and learning, but testing. Now, testing is important. Standardized tests have a place. But they should not be the dominant culture of education. They should be diagnostic. They should help.
And the third principle is this: that human life is inherently creative. It’s why we all have different résumés. We create our lives, and we can recreate them as we go through them. It’s the common currency of being a human being. It’s why human culture is so interesting and diverse and dynamic.
Education’s “Death Valley” ~
So I think we have to embrace a different metaphor. We have to recognize that it’s a human system, and there are conditions under which people thrive, and conditions under which they don’t. We are after all organic creatures, and the culture of the school is absolutely essential. Culture is an organic term, isn’t it?
Not far from where I live is a place called Death Valley. Death Valley is the hottest, driest place in America, and nothing grows there. Nothing grows there because it doesn’t rain. Hence, Death Valley. In the winter of 2004, it rained in Death Valley. Seven inches of rain fell over a very short period. And in the spring of 2005, there was a phenomenon. The whole floor of Death Valley was carpeted in flowers for a while. What it proved is this: that Death Valley isn’t dead. It’s dormant. Right beneath the surface are these seeds of possibility waiting for the right conditions to come about, and with organic systems, if the conditions are right, life is inevitable. It happens all the time. You take an area, a school, a district, you change the conditions, give people a different sense of possibility, a different set of expectations, a broader range of opportunities, you cherish and value the relationships between teachers and learners, you offer people the discretion to be creative and to innovate in what they do, and schools that were once bereft spring to life.
Great leaders know that. The real role of leadership in education — and I think it’s true at the national level, the state level, at the school level — is not and should not be command and control. The real role of leadership is climate control, creating a climate of possibility. And if you do that, people will rise to it and achieve things that you completely did not anticipate and couldn’t have expected.

I was invited to a lovely event. Swan Lake Ballet. Then a cocktail party for 250 people after the ballet. I knew two people. The two I was with. I felt that I needed to announce that I don’t do very well making conversation with so many I don’t know. What I know is myself. I’m friendly and quite secure with one on one. If I needed to be outgoing for business I would be able to easily. Fortunate the two women I was with respected my wish to quickly find a table and people watch alone. I was with a very close relative and a close friend. They didn’t question or judge my need not to mingle.
We walked into a huge room and all the tables were taken. Small cocktail tables. Karma was on my side. I spotted one lone table in the back and made a fast beeline securing the table.
The three of us had a fun conversation and not one word of just social noise.
A lovely evening. Without!!!

So I basically unplugged last week for the Holiday and just to recharge my batteries a bit. This week I’ll be posting again on quite a few things. Onslaught here is ticked because my stupid local stores STILL do not have the Combaticons in.
So..I looked at Kapow toys to see if they had them in stock, they did not, I DID order FOC Ultra Magnus and Frenzy/Ratbat (Rumble and Ravage are already en route) – and got all exited that I was getting them for super cheap…until I ran the exchange rate PROPERLY…*ahem*. Well Math was never my strong suit.
More to come! Stay tuned!

Last week, Courtney Stodden made appearances with a mystery man as she essentially confirmed all rumors that she had split with her husband Doug Hutchison. Any breakup can be rough on a couple, so it's important to find reasons to continue working through the difficult time. In the case of Stodden, she took to Instagram to motivate not just herself, but also all of her followers.
A post shared by Courtney A Stodden (@courtneyastodden) on
This is a trying time for the actress, but it's good to see she's keeping her priorities in check and is remembering that no matter how tough life can get, it's important to stay sensual.
If the photo with the motivating caption wasn't enough evidence that Stodden is taking the message to heart, she was recently spotted walking a dog through Central Park while wearing nothing more than a sheer red bra as a top.
When you combine her dog walking outfit with her Instagram post and her liaisons with unknown men, Stodden hasn't had a problem staying sensual after her separation from Hutchison.
The couple has been surrounded by controversy ever since they're public debut, as Hutchison is 30 years Stodden's senior. Making matters more complicated is that the two met when Stodden was only 16 and she participated in some of Hutchison's acting classes.
Do you think it was love at first sight or did the pair wait until they were both legally adults to pursue their romantic relationship? Let us know in the comments!

The proofs are in. This is the last chance I’ll have to rework Human Resources – well, ever. The last chance I’ll have to make sure I’m not sending out a pile of dreck into the great wide world, and that my reputation won’t be forever tarnished.
Early thoughts? Well it’s surprisingly not too terrible. All those drafts and
heartburn heartache has just about paid off. My beta-readers came through for me.
I won’t ever be able to read my own work without wincing, so, aside from forced occasions such as readings, I may never pick up the book again. It can never be good enough for me, can never not cause me to flush with embarrassment.
So far in the proofs I’ve picked up on one or two very minor points – a typesetting error, the repetition of a phrase – and one bigger what does that actually mean? So it’s so far so un-terrible.
Is it actually any good? I don’t think I can answer that. Maybe there are artists who can stand back from their work and say objectively ‘yes, I’ve nailed this,’ or ‘I don’t think I’ve quite hit that as I wanted,’ but I’m not one of them. It’s been too long since I wrote it for me to have boundless enthusiasm but I don’t want to be too negative because it’s probably actually much better than I think.
I don’t hate it.
And you should buy it.
Erm. It’s actually really really good and I believe in it
whole heartachedly wholeheartedly. That’s what I came here to say. Obviously.
No, let’s say this: I have more faith (less cheek-burning embarrassment) about this than I did in Night Shift. I’ve written some good stuff in my life and this can hold its head up.
So yes, pre-orders now available.

I'm a day late with this, but I'm choosing to extend myself some grace because, you know. Teething baby. Also, we've decided to make it a Women's Weekend, so there! :)
Here are my top 6 books to read to your kiddos this weekend (and anytime) that feature strong women!
This is a great book that highlights some of the women in US history who left their mark - from Ruby Bridges to Virginia Apgar, Maria Tallchief to Helen Keller and many more, it's a great way to introduce your child to women who wouldn't take no for an answer. There's an "Around The World" version I'd love to own, too!
This is a great book that teaches kids (especially young girls of color) about healthy body positivity. It's an important message about natural beauty and strength, and speaking about yourself in a positive way. I used this in my classroom a lot as a kindergarten teacher. It's important to read books like this to caucasian kids too, so that they too recognize the beauty and individuality in their peers who may not look like them.
I recently bought this book for Jocelyn. The illustrations are scrumptious! It's the story of a young woman whose grandfather encourages her to see the world, live by the ocean, and make the world a more beautiful place. I especially like this one, because she remains single, but it's a a total non-issue, it isn't even mentioned.
This thoughtful and beautiful book is the story of Jessie, a 13-year-old young girl from Eastern-Europe. Her rabbi gives her a ticket to sail to the new world, America. My favorite part, is that she saves up enough money to send for her grandmother (who raised her) to join her. Talk about powerful! She becomes a seamstress specializing in bridal gowns - eventually making her own, as well.
This one is a little more lighthearted, because often kids remember things better when it's wrapped in something that already interests them. Aidan is crazy about superheroes, so I loved getting him this one that featured a strong girl. My favorite part of this book, is that being kind, helping your friends and asking for help when you need it are all shown as strengths.
Someday maybe I'll write a whole post about how amazing the original Historical American Girl books are. If you're interested in these, you can find them in 6 book box sets, each set featuring one girl, in a specific era. They are great representatives of the times, and teach kids about history, bravery and strength of character. I had at least 8 sets of these growing up, and they heavily influenced me! Names (girls) to search for: Molly (World War II era girl), Kit (Depression era girl), Kirsten (pioneer era girl), Kaya (Native American girl from the 1760s), Josefina (Mexican American girl from the 1820s), Samantha (Victorian era girl), Addy (African American girl, whose family escapes slavery), and Felicity (Revolutionary War era girl).
There are many-many more, but these are my top picks for this year. What is your favorite children's book about a strong girl?

Free Consultation: 215-793-9999
RF technology is not a new concept: however, our 3-Deep technology uses advanced software that controls the strength and depth of the pulses.
The EndyMed RF microneedling system is an FDA-cleared technology designed to help rejuvenate the skin, improving texture, reducing wrinkles, and scars. The microneedles safely deliver radio-frequency (RF) energy into the deep layer of the skin, known as the dermis. EndyMeds non-insulated gold needles work in harmony with EndyMed Fractional Pulse Mode to produce heat safely inside the dermis. The unique delivery of the energy into the dermis minimizes risk to surrounding tissue. There is also adjustable needle depth allowing for customized treatments, depending on the area being treated.
Your nurse will request that you arrive 30-45 minutes prior to your treatment to apply topical anesthetic. Treatments usually take between 30-45 minutes depending on the area being treated. There will be redness and swelling in the area that will improve in 24-48 hours. As you are healing you may experience some roughness or flakiness to the skin on day three post treatment. You will see a noticeable difference in the way your skin looks and feels in about 5-7 days, these results continue to improve over a 3 month period of time. Most patients need between 3-6 treatments at 4-6 week intervals to achieve optimal skin goals.
Allow our expert trained nurse professionals to refresh your skin and your confidence. Our nurses experience is what gives Strella the capability to provide advanced skin care treatments. The nurses will review your medical history and devise a plan that sets the foundation/relationship that results in great success on all skin types and both men and women.

Why Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have the brows you'll want
Brow wowing tips
Jared Bailey is the brow master for Benefit. The brand's international spokesperson has seen it all, as he travels the world educating and training Benefit's brow experts and keeping up to date on the latest trends. Here Bailey talks about how to get the right shape, who has the best brows today and how to hide brow regrowth.
1. It's all about the shape
When it comes to brows, achieving the right shape is very important. That is why Bailey recommends going to a professional for your first brow waxing session. "Brows can contour the entire face. Leave the precision work to the pros as they can see the whole picture, and not just one brow at a time. At Benefit we have a brow mapping technique that helps the brow artist determine the best shape." The brow expert will be able to see where your arch should start and where your brows should end — among other things — bringing balance to the face.
2. Hide the outgrowth in between visits
Bailey says that in general, most women touch up their brows every four to six weeks. But what if you have a tiny amount of outgrowth that you need to hide? "Try tapping some of Benefit's Air Patrol — a skin-toned BB eyelid primer — all away across the lid and on top of the hairs to disguise their appearance." Accentuate your existing brows with a product like Brow Zings — which is both a wax and a powder — so any outgrowth looks less obvious and brows are more defined.
3. Overplucking is the biggest mistake that women make
Some women want to create an arch, but over-tweeze in the wrong areas, ending up with what Bailey calls a 'comma shape' stamp on the face. Women who are not trained and overzealous, may start their arch too early resulting in this unfortunate shape. Bailey emphasises that proper brow mapping techniques will result in the arch starting at just the right spot.
4. If you want to follow trends, you can style your brows with makeup instead of waxing or plucking them
Anyone can do brow styling to follow a trend. If you want to thicken your brows, you can add some product to the top of the brow. "You can always fight Mother Nature and make your brows a little bit thicker. After you've created the shape, use a product like Gimme Brow — that has tiny, little micro fibres that mimic the look of real hair. This will bring your brows to life and give them that 3D effect." Similarly, if you want to straighten your brows, as per the K-beauty trend, you can also fill product into your arch to soften its appearance.
5. Your brows don't have to match your hair colour
According to Bailey, it all depends on the look that you want to achieve. If you want drama, you should look at the base tone or the lowlights in your hair and go a shade or two deeper. This will thicken up the brow and create a nice, dramatic frame for your eyes. If you want to have natural-looking brows, follow your hair's base tone as closely as possible. Tinting is an easy way to acheive a natural look. It picks up and dyes the fine, vellus hairs present in your brows, giving them a natural lift. If you want to have high-contrast brows like Gwen Stefani, you can, but Bailey says that it's an aspirational look that you have to carry through the whole way.
6. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have the brows of the future
Looks like these actresses turned fashion superstars have even more going for them then ultra-cool clothes. When asked to name the best brows, Bailey said that the Olsen twins have brows that will be trending in the near future. While Cara Delevingne has 'power brows' that are oversized for her face, Mary-Kate and Ashley's brows have the thickness, minus the hard definition and are perfectly sized. "They have nailed it. Their brows are perfectly proportionate to their faces. And they're not over-groomed... there are no hard lines. It's about having fluid, natural brows that are the right shape for your face."

Small self-service stores are growing across the 85 countries of Eurasia & Africa, with double digit rates of unit increase in Turkey and Russia during the past few years. The growth of small self-service stores is partly a response to five megatrends: urbanisation, household size, women in the workforce, the rise of eating out and smartphone penetration, which have supported growing consumer demand for faster and more convenient shopping experiences. At the same time, retail investment and innovation has led to a more attractive small store shopping experience offering a range of choices that are more appealing to shoppers. This report explores and defines the essential elements of shopper loyalty across a wide range of small self-service formats in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. Considering the essential elements of success, this report features the views of industry experts and small store super shoppers as it considers the future shape of small stores. Looking at the present and the future, this report concludes by offering retailers a methodology for assessing the relative position of small store concepts that they may operate today or develop for the future.

These meaty peppers make an ideal dinner, with large yellow bell peppers broiled until soft and slightly charred, then filled with a Southwestern-flavored mix of ground chicken, barley and corn.
Prep Time: 0 hours 10 mins
Total Time: 0 hours 30 mins
4 large bell peppers, halved lengthwise through stem
8 oz. lean ground chicken
1 medium onion
1 can enchilada sauce
1/2 c. each quick-cooking barley and frozen corn kernels
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
c. Chopped fresh cilantro
- Heat broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil. Put peppers cut side down in pan; coat peppers with nonstick spray.
- Broil 12 to 15 minutes, turning once or twice, until lightly charred and soft.
- Meanwhile coat a large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray; heat over medium heat. Add chicken and onion, increase to medium-high heat and cook 5 minutes, breaking up chunks of chicken with a wooden spoon, until chicken and onions are lightly browned.
- Add all but 1/4 cup enchilada sauce, 1 cup water, the barley, corn and cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes or until barley is tender. Off heat, stir in cilantro. Spoon into pepper halves; drizzle with reserved enchilada sauce. Good with shredded romaine lettuce, avocado and tomato salad. Brightly colored bell peppers are a great source of antioxidants.

Sponsor licence application
Sponsor licence applications demand extensive supporting documentation to evidence eligibility.
We can manage the entire process for you.
Sponsor licence application
A successful sponsor licence application will enable your organisation to lawfully employ skilled migrant workers.
If your sponsor licence application is successful, your company will be placed on the list of registered sponsors and you will be permitted to assign Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) to qualifying candidates, enabling them to make their visa application to the Home Office.
Through the sponsor licence application process, the Home Office is looking for evidence that employers have a thorough understanding of their compliance duties under the sponsor licence and that they have requisite, effective internal HR and recruitment infrastructure and skills in place to comply with the rules on an ongoing basis.
We can help
DavidsonMorris’ business immigration specialists can support your organisation through the Home Office sponsorship licence application process.
As a team of immigration lawyers and former Home Office personnel, we can work in support of your in-house HR team or manage the entire application process on your behalf, across all types of sponsorship licence.
We understand the commercial pressures surrounding a licence application. Whether you have a candidate lined up and do not want to risk losing out through a delayed or refused licence application, or are starting out and are unsure about the process to follow, we can support:
- Assisting with initial considerations as to the most appropriate type of sponsorship application and suitable key personnel
- Drafting your online sponsor licence application
- Helping you to collate the appropriate supporting documentation that you must submit
- Auditing your HR and recruitment systems and procedures to get them in order before the UKVI visit
- Briefing or training staff on their duties and responsibilities
- Advising on the UKVI ‘genuineness’ test and assessing whether a prospective employee satisfies the points criteria before the sponsor issues a certificate of sponsorship
- Guidance on sponsorship-related fees, both for the application and ongoing
- Advice on conducting the Resident Labour Market Test
- Training and advice on issuing Certificates of
- Sponsorship and assigning SOC codes
- Advising on the alternatives available to you if you decide not to make a sponsor licence application
Preparation will be critical. Before compiling the application, we can audit your internal HR and recruitment practices to identify areas of risk and non-compliance, and provide recommendations to rectify with implementation support and training.
We will then advise on completing the application form and the documents and evidence you will need to submit in support of your application.
We have specific expertise in complex matters such as where there are time pressures on the application or if you have already had an application refused.
Sponsor licence eligibility criteria
The Home Office will be looking at a number of key criteria when determining your suitability and eligibility for a UK sponsorship licence. There are no minimum or maximum requirements on the size of organisation that can apply, but in all cases you must satisfy the Home Office criteria.
You will need to prove you are a genuine organisation operating lawfully in the UK.
You have to show you are aware of and capable of carrying out the visa sponsorship duties, with appropriate human resources and recruitment systems and practices in place.
>You must be offering genuine employment that meets the relevant skill level and appropriate rates of pay.
Checks will also be performed against your nominated key personnel to ensure they are honest, dependable and reliable.
How to avoid a refused sponsor licence application
Sponsor licence applications can be refused for many reasons.
Often, employers are unaware of the extent of the Home Office checks and evaluation of an applicant organisation, or of the commitment and resource needed on an ongoing basis to manage the licence and ensure continued compliance.
Applicants commonly risk a refused application where they fail to correctly apply the Resident Labour Market Test where required, if they fail to pass the genuineness test or a UKVI compliance audit, if they fail to comply with UKVI security standards or if they fail to engage with the Home Office or to respond to enquiries in a timely manner.
Before applying, it will be important to ensure all of these areas are in full compliance, or you risk a refused application and losing the application fee.
The application process itself involves completing an online licence application and submitting supporting documentation to meet the necessary evidentiary requirements. The supporting documentation must be as prescribed by the Home Office, and will be determined by a number of factors.
In most cases, you will need to provide at least four pieces of evidence in original form, or as a certified copy. Importantly, these must be supplied within five days of the initial application. Failure to submit all required documents may result in an application being delayed or rejected and further costs being incurred.
Following the receipt of the documents, your organisation may then be subject to a compliance visit from the Home Office to assess whether or not to grant the licence.
Your HR and recruitment processes will be scrutinised, and officials will expect to see proof of how you intend to meet your compliance duties. You will also be required to comply with the illegal working requirements that state that all non-EU employees are required to provide documentation that proves their right to work before being employed by a UK company. You must retain copies of this information.
Given what is at stake, employers should take early advice to support in compiling a thorough and comprehensive submission and ensure the organisation is geared to meeting the duties of a sponsor licence holder on a continued basis.
Sponsor licence holders can be subject to Home Office investigation at any stage and without notice, meaning at any one time, all records and processes must be in order to avoid punitive action such as a licence suspension.
Sponsor licence application FAQs
Which type of sponsor licence?
When making your sponsoring licence application, you will need to specify which type of licence your organisation needs. If you intend to hire skilled workers on a long term basis, you would apply for the Tier 2 licence, whereas short term skilled roles would be the Tier 5 licence, or you can apply for a licence applicable for the two categories.
Which sponsor licence documents are required?
Appendix A details all mandatory documentation that sponsor licence applicants are to submit with their application. The list varies depending on the type of organisation that is applying and the type of licence being applied for. It most cases it is also advisable to provide additional evidence to support your eligibility.
How long does a sponsor licence last?
Sponsor licences are granted for a period of four years. They can be renewed by making an application to the Home Office. Sponsor licences can be downgraded, suspended or revoked if the employers fails to comply with its compliance duties and to manage the licence correctly.
How much is it to apply for a sponsor licence?

Extractables and Leachables: 101 - Webinar Recording/Transcript
Extractables and Leachables: 101
Once confined to the fringes of FDA regulation, extractables and leachables are now in sharp focus.
Driven by ICH Q3D guideline compliance requirements, plus a substantial shift in metal impurity standards, the FDA now expects compliance in nearly all dosage forms; and scrutiny extends to materials such as manufacturing equipment and dosing devices.
But confusion and misinformation abound. Many sponsors still run into trouble understanding and performing appropriate E&L studies, leading to costly delays and raising the risk of regulatory sanctions.
Dr. Wayland Rushing, Director of Scientific Affairs at EAG Labs, is the expert to guide you through this regulatory thicket. Dr. Rushing sorts it all out:
- Extractables and leachables: What they are, special issues they pose
- Regulatory requirements: ICH Q3D guideline requirements and more
- Designing an E&L program: What to consider
- Analytical challenges associated with E&L
- And much more!
Dr. Rushing’s 15-year career has focused on CMC development programs for a wide array of biopharmaceutical clients including parenterals, inhalation drugs and other pharmaceuticals with complex delivery systems. Let him help you get into full compliance.

Miami Vice meets Hill Street Blues.
Beat Cop casts the player in the role of Jack Kelly, a flashy detective who gets busted down to walking a uniformed beat on the mean streets of 1980’s New York. Accused of stealing a Senator’s diamonds while busting up a break-in, Kelly has to somehow find a way to prove his innocence while busting his ass on the street. His life just gets even harder as the cop assigned to show him around on the first day is gunned down in a drive-by shooting (with the fatal bullets intended for Kelly). Kelly has to get to the bottom of the conspiracy against him while doing his new, unglamorous duties of ticketing cars and chasing after petty theives. It’s a unique set-up to be sure, but Beat Cop can stumble while chasing its neon dreams.
Reflecting the enormous burdens of a police officer, Beat Cop is all about managing your precious time. Every day, you’ve got a quota of tickets to write for different vehicular infractions, such as if someone has parked in a no-parking zone or is driving with knackered unsafe tires. You’ll have to correctly fill in tickets or your daily pay will be docked, but it takes time to do a thorough check of each car. However, there’s a little girl running up to you who’s lost her cat. Your radio is buzzing, telling you to cordon off the scene of a reported murder. Every day is a real struggle to keep up with all the developments on the street, and it’s up to you to portion your time to do everything.
The time management aspect of Beat Cop is the nexus of its design, but it’s a mechanically very simple game. For example, you chase down fleeing perps by double clicking a spot on the ground near them, causing Kelly to break into a sprint. You then click on the cuffs in the UI screen to initiative a cartoonish dustball where Kelly tackles and shackles the criminal. Checking cars for vehicular infractions is just as straightforward. A simple click will have you checking for broken lights, scuffed tires or expired parking meters. After that it’s a mundane matter of clicking a few more times to fill out a ticket and call the tow truck. Occasionally, you’ll be accosted by the ticketed vehicle’s owner, who’ll plead with you or offer you a bribe to waive the ticket. The first few times this happened, it was a fun little choice for me over whether to play dirty cop or an incorruptible Serpico. After the twentieth time it had happened though, it became boringly routine.
There’s one nifty mini-game where you can search a car for contraband, where you’ve got a limited number of moves to shift bits of junk to find the contraband hidden underneath. What was frustrating for cool moments like this though is that I didn’t start encountering trickier versions of this puzzle later. Unlike Beat Cop’s bureaucracy-em-up forebear, Papers Please, where rifling through mountains of documents with rapidly changing regulations became punishingly tough at times, Beat Cop doesn’t scale in this way. The looming time limit to fit in everything during the day gives a bracing sense of urgency to the proceedings, but it can’t quite paper over how the gameplay is really just a mish-mash of simple mini-games. Though entertaining at first, their lack of growing complexity means they get old quickly.
Beat Cop isn’t just about doing your duty as a cop, and saving your ass from getting canned – it’s also about keeping your head above water financially and staying on the right side of the various factions on the street. There’s the everyday citizens – who you can help out of by protecting the ethnically diverse shop-owners from thieves or letting the odd ticket slide. There’s also the Mafia – who you can do various favours for via a pizzeria, where a suited goombah will give you innuendo-laden tasks, such as asking you to “take care” of rival drug dealers by having their truck towed. Then there’s the “Crew”, who might ask you to look the other way when they’re dealing smack on the corner . You’ll be rewarded with bribes and quid-pro-quo favours from those you help. A little extra off-the-books cash certainly helps when you’ve got alimony payments to your ex-wife looming. Of course, if you’re too much of a dirty cop and stain the badge you’ll get in trouble with your terrifying battle axe of a Sergeant.
Beat Cop has some welcome UI improvements from the preview version I looked at last year, and this is what makes juggling your various commitments much easier. Every day your wages and your reputation change with the various factions will be conveniently tallied up on a notepad. Sadly there are still some nagging bugs in Beat Cop which stifle the experience. At times dialogue failed to finish, leaving the game effectively frozen. Other times the end-of-day report won’t tally your reputation correctly. The finished product of Beat Cop still has a proverbial broken tail light or two.
Beat Cop is a stylistic evolution of Hotline Miami, with its pounding synthwave soundtrack and pixel-art graphics. I liked the vibrant streets you patrol, with neat little details like people smoking, b-boys breakdancing to their boombox and birds swooping overhead to dive-bomb passers by with excrement. Hard rock and electro blares from passing cars before fading. Every shop you enter has its own unique sounds, from scattered sports announcements in the bar to jaunty folk music in Ivan’s Liquor store. Beat Cop does a good job of immersing you in its time and place. Of course, a funky soundtrack and a pleasantly clean, sharp pixel-art style do not alone a masterpiece make (I’m looking at you Party Hard).
The writing in Beat Cop tends be fairly glib and juvenile. The developers even put up a little disclaimer saying that the game is “not a document of 80s New York” but rather a loving tribute to the cop shows of the era. Sometimes the lines are sharp and the jokes do land. I’ll admit I loved some of the authentic jibes between the cops during each morning roll call – which are as blue as the uniforms. Likewise, another scene where Kelly gets high on pesticide and hallucinates a surprisingly verbose giant cockroach made me chuckle.
Sadly, the relentless focus on black humour underlines the limitations and unambitiousness of Beat Cop. What robs Beat Cop of a lot of its potential power is how it never takes itself seriously or delves deeply enough into its subject matter. There’s the gloss of the racial tensions and police corruption, but these issues are never meaningfully explored beyond being gameplay props.
Some of the potentially powerful moments are wasted as they’re played for cheap laughs and forgotten about. I found myself frustrated early on at not being able to call in a savage beating, as Kelly worries it would ruin his career. It’s part of a punishingly unfunny storyline where Kelly is babysitting a corrupt Russian cop on an exchange program. Imagine the movie Borat, except with less self-awareness, and more exaggerated East European sterotypes. There’s even a baffling attempt at a Black Lives Matter joke. To say Beat Cop’s writing is inconsistent in quality would be an understatement.
You’ll never really get into any deeply profound moral dilemmas, and the simple binary choices you’re occasionally offered are seldom more than practical ones. Most of the side stories are simple tasks to raise the meter of whichever of the Mafia/Crew/Police factions you’re looking to impress.
I just found the developers’ desire that no-one take their game too seriously a bit of a cop-out (pun intended). Some of the great cop shows of the eighties managed to be funny while having complex characters and a meaningful exploration of the boys in blue. If you want something that gives the real challenges of policework a bit more weight then it might be worth checking out This is the Police.
Beat Cop is a serviceable bureaucracy-em-up with an interesting concept. However, its rote procession of ticket-giving and perp-chasing – combined with the shallowness of its side stories – can get repetitive and leave you feeling unsatisfied. Ultimately, Beat Cop is like the sugary donut emblazoned as its logo. It’s got a sugary taste in the first bite, but it’s not substantial enough to substitute for a good meal.

Know Your Defense Mechanisms
“Raise the drawbridge!” “Close the gate” “Man the turrets!”
Such defensive commands are right at home in an exciting Game of Thrones episode, and indeed throughout history.
Have you ever stopped to wonder what your own defensive mechanisms are?
What are you REALLY defending anyway?
Hold on to that one, as we will explore it further throughout this resource.
Raising your awareness of your defense mechanisms could be your critical first step to living a more peaceful, fulfilling, and harmonious life.
What I mean by this is, if your defenses are always up, and your ‘troops are always on high-alert’ how can you ever relax and enjoy yourself? How can you be free to gaze at the stars, dream, wonder, imagine, play, fall in love?
It’s simply impossible.
Imagine it, one minute you’d be gazing at the stars, smiling and contemplating the universe, the next minute you will be on edge, scanning the horizon because you heard a rustling in the bushes.
The picture I am painting here for you, is that by raising your awareness of your defense mechanisms and your environment, the better you can respond and enjoy living in the present.
Let’s jump in and get to know your defence mechanisms
The Defense Mechanisms
The defense mechanisms stem from the work of Sigmund Freud and later by his daughter Anna Freud in the late 1800’s to early 1900’s.
In more recent times psychoanalysts have added to, and refined the defenses further. For our purposes, learning the main defense mechanisms is a great place to start.
Please Note: If you’ve suffered from a traumatic past – please read with caution and be in a safe place as the content may trigger unwanted memories. It’s important to note the intention here is to raise awareness of our defense mechanisms, which are a natural occurrence and are useful at times in protecting ourselves at certain times during our lives.
So to be clear, this resource is in no way criticising our defense mechanisms, but helping you to be aware of them, to ultimately help you live a healthier, stronger, resilient and happier life in line with the actual environment around you in the present moment.
Please reach out if you would like more information or help in anyway with this resource.
Do you enter a state of denial when you hear bad news? If something unpleasant happens do you pretend it never happened or doesn’t exist? This is denial. It’s often a go-to response, when presented with unpleasant news or trauma, and undoubtedly recognisable in high profile cases that make the news.
Some people are in denial about the corona virus and will buy into theories of a hoax and that it is all made up. How is denial really serving them?
Denial becomes a problem when it lingers and carries on as a common thread through your life. Over time denial can warp your sense of reality. What’s real? What’s true?
Is a distorted perception going to aid or disempower you?
For couple’s, denial can be incredibly hurtful and dishonest. Denial deprives a relationship the chance to grow and thrive.
Denial is about avoiding responsibility, and avoiding the inevitable pain associated with the processing of unpleasant events.
While denial may initially help you avoid pain in the short term, in the long run it keeps you stuck, robs you of growth and living authenticity.
Growth opportunity – Identify a time when you have been operating out of a place of denial?
What movie, book or TV series have you seen where a character or plot revolves around denial?
Repression is about forgetting an experience ever happened or forgetting the unsavoury details you’d rather have not seen, heard or felt.
Repression happens at an unconscious level and depending on your age and stage of development is used as a coping mechanism.
But at what cost? If left unprocessed could it lead to PTSD? What about anxiety, sleep problems, social problems, relationship problems – like Negative Sentiment Override? What else?
With increasing awareness of PTSD and mental health in general we can free ourselves from these burdens and enjoy life and develop healthy relationships.
Client who work with me, will know about neuroplasticity and the brains ability to change and strengthen new healthy habits.
Growth opportunity – Is there a time in your life where you have repressed memories? If so, make a note of them and decide if they would be better dealt with than buried.
Ask yourself “How would I feel, not having to carry around this crap anymore?”
What is avoidance really costing me?
Displacement / Acting Out
Couples may recognise this one acutely. Perhaps a partner comes home from a bad day at work and “Kicks the cat” – or in other ways displaces their emotions (frustration, anger, humiliation, etc) onto someone or something else.
If you or someone you know has ever lashed out and thrown something, or punched a hole in the wall, blamed someone else, then they have displaced their emotions in defense of having to deal with them in a more mature and productive way.
Children who don’t get what they want, can often act out and provide us another great example of the behaviours we want to be aware of. Obviously, children have not yet learned the more sophisticated skills to process emotions and conflict, providing a great opportunity for growth and positive parenting.
In regards to relationships, the Gottman Institute refer to ‘the four horseman of the apocalypse‘ as being the most destructive traits of a relationship – Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness, and Stonewalling.
Therefore, improving your response to criticism, rather than choosing defensiveness is an important skill, and one I help couples learn and navigate in session.
Growth opportunity – Describe a time where you acted out inappropriately or displaced your anger and frustration onto someone else.
Upon reflection, in what way could you have responded better?
Who could I become without all this heavy armor weighing me down?
Is your perception of the world the one and only true reality?
What about how we feel, think and behave? All different right?
Projecting onto others can be helpful and not so helpful. For example an enthusiastic player on a sports team can project positivity, focus and team spirit onto his/her team-mates.
Someone who is thinking the worst, anxious and insecure and uncertain can project their feelings of rejection, insecurity and doubt onto others. Possibly unconsciously, though maybe on purpose in order to protect their ego, bring others down or form a group of like-minded people for support.
Rather than projection – perhaps consider a mindfulness reflection exercise that looks inward. I have one for you – It’s excellent for couples, Its the Naikan Exercise
Growth opportunity – Can you identify a time where you have projected your insecurities onto others? Perhaps even someone you love?
What could be a more useful way to handle these difficult emotions and thoughts the next time you feel you need to ‘project’ to defend and protect yourself?
Typically seen as a manufactured response, opposite to what you really think and feel. For example someone who is feeling resentment or in contempt of their partner may in fact buy flowers or display a gesture of love and connection when underneath their true feelings are shallow and quite different.
If you have ever been dragged along to a party you’d rather not be at and have had to put on a brave face and act like you’re enjoying yourself, then this is reaction formation.
Someone who is unable to deal with grief maturely, may act happy or blasé at a loved ones funeral.
Boundaries work both ways, and is an area I work deeply with clients to help them regain self worth, improve self image, gain confidence and communicate mindfully yet assertively.
Growth opportunity – Can you identify a time when you turned to reaction formation? What were the real feelings you were guarding yourself from? Can you think of a better way to handle the situation?
As yourself “What was the driving force behind your response to the situation?”
I’m totally fine! If I just act naturally no one will ever know!
Similar to repression, dissociation is when you step out of your perspective and the life of your current self.
You may have experienced moments of this during an emergency event or other trauma where you dissociate from the reality of the situation.
Those who dissociate often lose track of time, their sense of self what happened.
In some ways you may disassociate as you are driving a familiar route or on a long journey.
It will come as no surprise that people who have a history of childhood abuse often subscribe to some form of dissociation as a coping mechanism.
In extreme cases, dissociation can lead to a person believing their perceived reality over the actual events. People who use dissociation often feel may feel disconnected from themselves and their role in the world.
A person who dissociates regularly will often ‘live’ in another reality free from clutter, thoughts, and feelings they’d rather avoid.
Dissociation is an excellent way to ‘avoid responsibility’, but is likely to leave you unfulfilled and disconnected.
What about modern daily disassociation’s? Binging Netflix, playing games, reading books, even gardening or arts-n-crafts can be all activities that aid or lead to disassociation or mindlessness. How mindful are you during any of these activities?
Spend a few moments raising your awareness around this topic. – Closely related – See Sublimination below.
Growth opportunity – How can you be more mindful during leisure activities? What responsibility or dreaded feelings could you be really avoiding?
As yourself: “Who could you become if you no longer relied on disassociation?”
Regression is a retreat to an earlier stage in development. Often seen as child like behaviour, where someone else like a parent is responsible for alleviating the problem and satisfying the child’s needs.
Stress endured from a person’s past development may explain a range of current regressive behaviours.
For example acting out to be heard, seen & loved. Crying and sulking as avoidance and to get your way (manipulation).
Regardless, Regression leads people back to an earlier stage of maturity to protect one’s self.
Regression avoids confronting a problem maturely, talking it through, finding solutions, seeking help etc.
In couples this may appear when one (or both) partners storm off, sulk, and give the cold shoulder and become defensive with child like responses to match.
Left unchecked this behaviour can further lead to problems in the relationship such as communication breakdown.
Simple yet powerful strategies like the Gottman Institute’s Soft Startup exercise and Rapoport framework help couples to communicate gently, avoiding ‘coming in hot with your engines roaring’. And structuring difficult conversations to ‘stay in your lane’ and understand each other respectfully.
These exercises are key for helping couples move into healthy and effective ways to communicate. It’s amazing to see such great transformations happen before my eyes in session!
Growth opportunity – Identify a time when you acted immaturely to a problem or situation you could of handled more maturely. Upon reflection, in what mature way would you respond now?
Rationalisation occurs when you try to explain your behaviour or unhelpful attitude away and attempt to justify your actions, that are likely destructive or unacceptable – depending on the context of course.
Rationalisation begins as an unconscious effort to avoid addressing the underlying reasons for the initial response.
Rationalising an event is about ‘saving face’ your reputation, avoiding embarrassment or being burdened with shame or guilt!
It’s common in politics, the justice system, Tv shows and even in relationships – to justify breakups and behaviour.
Rationalisation is deceptive and avoids taking responsibility and making better choices for the future. Left unchecked the selfish behaviour is likely to continue. Over time the excuses and avoidance weaken relationships, erode trust, and stains character.
Who come’s to mind? Lawyers, Slimy salesman, Corporate crooks. Who else?
Couples who work with me often begin by trying to rationalise certain behaviour, such as the causes behind infidelity and broken trust. While my role as a couples counsellor is not to judge or condemn behaviour, working through the process together, clients identify their behaviour for what it is, and then we can begin work on the healing process.
Growth opportunity – Can you identify a time when you have rationalised an event or behaviour to ‘Save face’? What emotions and consequences were you really trying to avoid?
In what way would your character be strengthened by acting in a different way? How would this benefit you in the long run?
It’s not my fault. You shouldn’t have parked so close?
Sublimation occurs when you transform your conflicted emotions and unmet needs into productive or creative outlets.
Sublimation is similar to displacement but rather than destructive behaviour it’s a constructive escapism. So it’s easy for sublimination to fly under the radar, when deep down there are conflicting values and ongoing problems gnawing away.
Outlets can include, painting, music, sport, writing, crafts, organising, cleaning, building things etc.
While not visibly destructive left unchecked the frustration can reach boiling point, resentment can build toward others, affecting relationships.
For couples, sublimation can drive a wedge between you and over time you feel miles apart from each other.
An enjoyable exercise of my Save my Marriage program is to help couples identify ways to ‘have fun together’. Reconnecting and rebuilding ‘Love Maps’ as the Gottman institute refer to it is an essential element of a happy, loving marriage.
Growth opportunity – Is your hobby an escape as much as something you enjoy?
What is the real cost of not confronting the deeper issues at hand?
Ask yourself: “What would your life look like if you could resolve and get through the difficult issue effectively?”
Personally I don’t view defense mechanisms as bad or good.
What I do believe in, is raising your awareness of them, and being empowered to make choices that will serve you (and others) better in the future.
Remember, We are all only human, and it’s natural for us to use our learned and natural defense mechanisms as we navigate our way through life.
I hope the growth opportunity questions throughout this resource help you identify areas you think could be a problem or need improving.
With this point in mind, commit to making a change one step at a time, to lean away from relying on defensive behaviour.
Learning new healthy strategies to process problems, communicate and work through strategies constructively will help you to:
- Live mindfully aware
- Identify triggers and your window of tolerance
- Be more open and receptive to new ideas and listening
- Communicate better by seeking to listen and understand
- Help other’s and create resilient relationships, families and collaborative networks
- Grow in character – and inspire others
- Stretch your personal skills and problem solving abilities
Practical next steps include:
- Watch the Life Values for Relationships video
- Being willing to be accountable, starting with friends, family, the workplace etc.
- Committing to implementing new strategies – either with me in person through a couples counselling program or coaching program
- Picking up some books and reading more resources and going at your own pace.

It’s a recession. The headlines don’t tell the story, but it’s the real story. Stock-market investors have known it for over a year. People in business know it as inventories and jobs have been slashed.
The latest government report on the nation’s gross domestic product for the April-June quarter revealed that the heart of the U.S. economy has indeed slipped into recession. It’s the second consecutive quarterly decline for the private sector economy.
Although the official figures cited a tiny 0.7% annual rise in overall real GDP, this barely positive total was made possible only by a $22 billion rise, calculated as a 5.5% yearly rate of increase, in federal, state, and local spending. A new category called adjusted real gross domestic purchases, a measure of private-sector consumption and investment, actually declined at an 0.1% annual rate.
During the prior January-March quarter the story was similar. Overall GDP adjusted for inflation increased at a slow 1.3% annual rate, but even this near-recession number was artificially boosted by a $21 billion government-spending boost. Without it, adjusted real gross domestic purchases actually declined by 0.2% annually.
In other words, the productive sector of the U.S. economy has been sinking for six months, actually falling $6 billion from $8.112 trillion in last year’s fourth quarter to $8.106 trillion in this year’s second quarter.
These totals exclude government spending, and also remove the so-called net export sector (exports minus imports), whose inaccurate accounting practices frequently mask real economic trends. The focus here is on the domestic private sector, the heart of the economic story.
Private-sector real GDP (adjusted for inflation, excluding government pump-priming), accounts for 83% of total economic output. All of the nation’s industrial production and business investment comes from the private sector. And 85% of the country’s 132 million jobs are created privately.
An incredibly harsh Federal Reserve policy that deflated the basic money supply, the stock market, commodities, and everything else in its path, as well as a series of OPEC-induced energy price shocks, have put the squeeze on the private sector. And the carnage continues to mount. In just eighteen months, the growth rate of inflation-adjusted private domestic purchases has swung from plus 8% to minus 0.2%. Nothing like this has occurred since the early 1980s.
In the business sector, the rate of change of investment in equipment and software has plunged to a negative 14.5% from a positive 18%. Over the past three quarters cumulatively, the level of business investment has dropped 5% while industrial production has fallen 4.5%. Over the past year, corporate profits have declined 21%. Even consumer spending has eased to 2% from 6%.
Adding to the economic malaise, the Fed has forced more than half of U.S. banks to tighten their business-loan standards. Meanwhile, the venture capital flow — the real-money supply for the wired economy — has dropped over 60% during the past year. Without a sufficient supply of risk capital and bank credit, entrepreneurship and innovation are left dead in the water. Technology breakthroughs go unfunded.
You might say, “It’s the business sector, stupid,” as businesses (not government) create jobs, and capital (not government) creates businesses. But the latest GDP figures tell us that it’s government spending, stupid. While the private sector is sinking, government is soaring. Big public-sector spending is keeping GDP in positive territory, misleading some into thinking that the economy is really okay.
Surprisingly, state and local government spending — growing at a 7% rate this year — is providing the artificial stimulus to GDP. And just as surely as day follows night, rising government spending at any level will lead to higher tax burdens — a negative omen for the future economy as taxes are inversely related to economic growth.
The new GDP figures tell us that we have a private economy recession and a government economy prosperity. In order to achieve long-run economic growth, however, what we really need is a government recession and a private prosperity.
President Bush has already reduced personal tax-rates, and hopefully he will move to lower investment and business taxes as well. The Fed should heed the message of deflating commodity markets and inject substantially more liquidity into the economy. Then it will be up to the nation’s governors and mayors to follow Bush’s lead. So far they haven’t, and that’s one reason why private GDP is in recession.

The greatest central banker in my professional lifetime was Paul Volcker. His signal achievement was bringing down the inflation rate from roughly 15 percent to about 3 percent more than three decades ago. The simplest way to look at the economic evils of runaway prices is to think of inflation as a tax hike — on consumers, savers, investors, corporate profits, capital gains, and so on. One humongous tax hike. And the myriad tax-hike effects of high inflation are what wrecked the American economy in the 1970s.
But Volcker turned that around, and he did so using a rules-based approach to slaying price hikes. He was an old-fashioned central banker who still believed the dollar should be as good as gold. And he carefully watched market-based signals like gold, commodities, and the exchange value of the dollar to let him know if he was going down the right road.
Ronald Reagan gave Volcker the ground to stand on, Volcker implemented his rules-based policy, and a bleak inflation outlook was vanquished. In fact, it was Reagan’s supply-side tax cuts in combination with Volcker’s hard-money policies that launched a 25-year economic boom. Nearly 50 million new jobs were created while economic growth averaged about 3.5 percent a year. That boom also financed a U.S. victory over Soviet communism and restored American leadership worldwide.
I reflect on all this as Janet Yellen gets ready to take over at the Federal Reserve. The economic issues are very different today than they were in the ’70s and early ’80s. Inflation is not the problem. But high unemployment and slow growth are. The U.S. economy is being held back.
So, how will Yellen handle this? And how will she renormalize an expansive Federal Reserve balance sheet and permit interest rates to rise back to historic norms?
Tongue-in-cheek, I’ve been calling Yellen the Empress of the Doves. But I do so with respect rather than condemnation. The truth is, Fed chairmen are like Supreme Court justices. You never really know what they’re going to do until they actually do it. But Yellen will be dovish for a good long while. And after that, Fed operations must change.
My concern with Ms. Yellen is whether she will abide by clear monetary rules as the central bank puts an end to extraordinary quantitative easing and related interventions in the financial markets. Can Yellen approach her monetary challenge in the disciplined way that Volcker approached his years ago?
Under QE3, both the Fed’s balance sheet and excess reserves have increased by about $1 trillion. But the jump in bank reserves has not translated into a more rapid turnover, or velocity, of money and loans. M2 is still growing at a modest 6.5 percent. The multipliers have broken down. Nominal GDP growth (real growth plus inflation) hovers below 4 percent. And the Fed is rewarding banks for not taking risks or making more loans by paying 25 basis points on idle reserves, which comes to roughly $6 billion in free money. This should be stopped.
But more to the point, Janet Yellen should keep a sharp eye on market-price indicators as she moves to normalize Fed operations. That includes commodity indexes, gold, the exchange value of the dollar, and the shape of the Treasury yield curve. Right now these signals are quiescent. That’s good. But the march to faster nominal GDP growth should be guided by these signals. I would also add in the Taylor rule, whereby the fed funds rate is adjusted relative to inflation and unemployment.
Unfortunately, Yellen has a Phillips-curve reputation, and is guided by a trade-off between unemployment and inflation. This could bring her to an excessively dovish stance if she focuses too heavily on unemployment. And in recent decades, inflation and unemployment have moved together, not in opposite directions as the Phillips curve instructs. In fact, the Fed’s whole central-planning apparatus seems caught in this failed model. This is troublesome.
But the real problem with this economy is not a lack of liquidity. It’s a lack of incentives to grow, invest, take risks, and start new businesses. Tax rates are going up again. Corporate tax reform seems dead in the water. Regulatory threats under the Obama administration proliferate. And the whole jerry-built Obamacare plan is chock full of tax and regulatory obstacles to economic growth, not to mention how it damages the health-care system.
Repeal Obamacare and embark on pro-growth tax and regulatory reform, and the economy will grow much faster without repeated injections of Fed liquidity. There is only so much the central bank can do. And in terms of QE, it may already be that it can do no more.
So what can Janet Yellen do? Bring a disciplined, rules-based approach to Fed policy. That would be a welcome development indeed.

She was the first crush for a generation of boys, the perfect playmate for a generation of girls.
Annette Funicello, who became a child star as a cute-as-a-button Mouseketeer on "The Mickey Mouse Club" in the 1950s, ruled among baby boomers, who tuned in every weekday afternoon to watch her on their flickering black-and-white television sets.
Then they shed their mouse ears, as Annette did when she teamed with Frankie Avalon during the '60s in a string of frothy, fun-in-the-sun movies with titles like "Beach Blanket Bingo" and "How to Stuff a Wild Bikini."
U.S. & World
Decades later, she endeared herself to baby boomers all over again after she announced in 1992 that she had multiple sclerosis and began grappling with the slow, degenerative effects with remarkably good cheer and faith.
Funicello died on Monday at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, Calif., of complications from MS, the Walt Disney Co. said. She was 70.
"She really had a tough existence," Avalon told The Associated Press. "It's like losing a family member. I'm devastated but I'm not surprised."
Avalon said that when they were working together, she never realized how beloved she was. "She would say, 'Really?' She was so bashful about it. She was an amazing girl," he recalled.
The pretty, dark-haired Funicello was 13 when she gained fame on "The Mickey Mouse Club," a kids' variety show that consisted of stories, songs and dance routines. It ran on ABC from 1955 to 1959.
Cast after Walt Disney saw her at a dance recital, she appeared in the Mouseketeer uniform of mouse ears, a pleated skirt and a turtleneck sweater emblazoned with her first name, and captivated young viewers with her wholesome, girl-next-door appeal.
She became the most popular Mouseketeer, receiving 8,000 fan letters a month, 10 times more than any of the 23 other young performers.
"It was a happy time. They were wonderful times," she recalled in a TV interview as an adult — and she might just as well have been speaking for her "Mickey Mouse Club" audience.
Singer and composer Paul Anka, the one-time teen idol who briefly dated Funicello when they were on the concert circuit in the late 1950s, said that like seemingly every young American male of the time, he was in love with her.
"She was just the girl next door and they were drawn just to her," Anka said. "She had that thing. She had the it, and there was just no stopping it."
They eventually drifted apart, but during the brief time they were together, he said, Disney tried to end their relationship, resulting in one of Anka's biggest hits, "Puppy Love."
"The Disney crowd, and understandably so, didn't want her too involved at too young an age," Anka told the AP. "We had our professional careers and what have you, and they continued to tell her it was a puppy love, and marriage should not be in question. And I wrote about it."
When "The Mickey Mouse Club" ended, Funicello was the only cast member to remain under contract to the studio. She appeared in such Disney movies as "Johnny Tremain," ''The Shaggy Dog," ''The Horsemasters," ''Babes in Toyland," ''The Misadventures of Merlin Jones" and "The Monkey's Uncle."
She also became a recording star, singing on 15 albums and hit singles such as "Tall Paul" and "Pineapple Princess."
Outgrowing the kid roles by the early '60s, Annette teamed with Avalon in a series of movies for American-International, the first film company to exploit the burgeoning teen market.
The filmmakers weren't aiming for art, and never stumbled across it. As Halliwell's Film Guide says of "Beach Party": "Quite tolerable in itself, it started an excruciating trend."
The films had songs, cameos by older stars and some laughs. The 1965 "Beach Blanket Bingo," for example, featured subplots involving a mermaid, a motorcycle gang and a skydiving school run by Don Rickles, and comic touches by silent film star Buster Keaton.
Among the other titles: "Muscle Beach Party," ''Bikini Beach," ''How to Stuff a Wild Bikini" and "Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine."
The beach films featured ample youthful skin. But not Funicello's.
She remembered in 1987: "Mr. Disney said to me one day, 'Annette, I have a favor to ask of you. I know all the girls are wearing bikinis, but you have an image to uphold. I would appreciate it if you would wear a one-piece suit.' I did, and I never regretted it."
The shift in teen tastes begun by the Beatles in 1964 and Funicello's first marriage the following year pretty much killed off the beach-movie genre.
After that, she had no interest in edgier, more "adult" roles.
"People are more interested in changing my image than I am," she said in an interview. Scripts were sent to her, and "I read the first 10 pages and I'm a prostitute or a doper, and I fold them up and send them back."
In the 1970s, she made commercials for Skippy peanut butter, appearing with her real-life children.
She and Avalon staged a reunion in 1987 with "Back to the Beach," in which Lori Loughlin played their daughter.
Funicello was "kind and down-to-earth," Loughlin told the AP. "She was truly the embodiment of the friendly, all-American girl that we all loved to watch in the beach movies."
It was during the filming of "Back to the Beach" that Funicello noticed she had trouble walking — the first insidious sign of MS.
When it was finally diagnosed, she later recalled, "I knew nothing about (MS), and you are always afraid of the unknown. I plowed into books."
She gradually lost control of her legs, and she feared people might think she was drunk. So she went public with her ordeal in 1992.
She wrote of her triumphs and struggles in her 1994 autobiography, "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" — the title taken from a Disney song. In 1995, she appeared briefly in a television docudrama based on her book. And she spoke openly about the degenerative effects of MS.
"My equilibrium is no more; it's just progressively getting worse," she said. "But I thank God I just didn't wake up one morning and not be able to walk. You learn to live with it. You learn to live with anything, you really do."
Funicello was born Oct. 22, 1942, in Utica, N.Y., and her family moved to Los Angeles when she was 4. She began taking dance lessons, and she won a beauty contest at 9. Then came her discovery by Disney.
Funicello's devotion to Walt Disney remained throughout her life.
"He was the dearest, kindest person, and truly was like a second father to me," she said. "He was a kid at heart."
Asked about revisionist biographies that have portrayed Disney in a negative light, she said: "I don't know what went on in the conference rooms. I know what I saw. And he was wonderful."
In 1965, Funicello married her agent, Jack Gilardi, and they had three children, Gina, Jack and Jason. The couple divorced 18 years later, and in 1986 she married Glen Holt, a harness racehorse trainer.
After her film career ended, she devoted herself to her family.
"We are so sorry to lose Mother," her children said in a statement. "She is no longer suffering anymore and is now dancing in heaven."

The gravity of the natural gas supply situation in the Eastern industrial section of the United States was brought strikingly to the fore last week. Under the impetus of accelerated war production, heavy industries throughout this territory are utilizing natural gas at a sharply higher rate than in the pre-war period with the result that a severe shortage of gas for the region is predicted by 1944-45.

Most chief marketing officers have temporary plans in place to connect with consumers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The growing question among many is just how long coronavirus will be around—and are brands prepared to manage a prolonged pandemic?
More and more governors are ordering their citizens to stay home unless absolutely necessary. On the other hand, some health officials are predicting the pandemic could be over in two months. President Donald Trump himself recently said much of America would be back to work by Easter (he has since backed away from that plan, and extended federal social distancing guidelines until April 30). Some U.K. officials believe the pandemic won’t be over until next year.
Irrespective of the predictions, the consensus among marketers is that ecommerce will be stronger than before regardless of when the pandemic ends. Marketers should devise future strategies with that in mind. Brands that’ve been delaying investments in attending to deficits in their technology would be wise to do so sooner than later. Acting now will afford them with the tools needed to move forward and adjust more quickly when the crisis is over.
Partnering on cause-related marketing with one or more relevant partners now may be one of the best strategies to maximize existing budgets while connecting with new customers and maintaining the loyalty of existing ones.
Many businesses now required to have their employees work from home weren’t prepared for this eventuality. Most employees, understandably, never had or needed to work remotely. Some didn’t have laptops to take home. So now, while companies are purchasing or renting laptops and their IT techs are preparing their companies for remote capabilities, other near-term questions need to be addressed: does the company have the bandwidth and capacity to handle virtual meetings? With so many employees working remotely, is security adequate?
Amazon’s recent announcement that it will be hiring 100,000 temporary workers in anticipation of increased demand should’ve sent a strong signal to marketers that some companies are in for the long haul. And if online shopping accelerates as predicted by some, are brands equipped to handle the flood? The founder of ecommerce company Netalico said one of his clients already experienced a 2,000 percent increase in online sales the week of March 9 alone.
Some U.S. companies began thinking about relocating their manufacturing facilities in 2018 after the Trump administration placed tariffs on goods manufactured there. Most remained but a growing number are reconsidering relocation in light of COVID-19.
Short term or long, the consensus now is that any messaging—even after the pandemic is over, whenever that may be—needs to be sensitive to not offend. Satoru Wakeshima, Chief Engagement Officer at New York marketing firm CBX told Adweek that includes avoiding pictures of large crowds and picnics.
Many companies will still sustain losses during the pandemic and can only plan on keeping them as low as possible. On the brighter side, if China is any indication, there are signs of recovery beginning to occur. By some accounts, the pandemic may end sooner rather than later, and the chances of economic recovery in that case are promising according to some observers.

Isn’t agate (Geode/Druzy) one of the most beautiful natural materials you’ve ever seen?! It looks so spectacular when used in home decor, providing texture and interest to any scheme.
Scroll on for some of my favourite agate finds…
Graham and Green have the most beautiful coffee table I think I’ve ever seen! Doesn’t it work beautifully with the zebra print and earthy greens too? The gold legs are stunning and I can imagine this piece working in glamorous, vintage and modern settings.
I love agate so much I had a go at adding gold leaf flakes to a slice myself and it turned out really well! (read more):
I also sell agate slice art in my shop. Because agate is a precious stone it’s a wonderful choice of material when creating a personalised piece of art for someone precious, like a newborn, to mark a Christening, to celebrate a wedding or to show someone you love how much they mean to you.
The gold monogram looks beautiful against the natural agate slice and the subtle personalised message on the mount doesn’t detract from the showpiece.
Holly, you are so precious. DOB 13.09.17
Mr & Mrs Smith, Northanger Abbey, 30.04.18
Mum, you are a gem

Does your pet suffer from arthritis?
Older animals tend to find the cold weather over winter a bit of a challenge, especially those with arthritis.
Arthritis is inflammation of the joints and can have many underlying causes including prior injury, degenerative disease, and developmental disorders. Although arthritis is more common in older animals, it can affect even young and middle aged animals too.
There are many varied signs of arthritis and these can often be quite subtle; this means that arthritis might not be noticed until the animal has been suffering for quite some time and the disease has progressed significantly.
You may notice that your companion is slow to rise from the floor or a seated position, especially first thing in the morning; they may be a little cautious going up or down the stairs; or may have a subtle but persistent lameness.
Cats are particularly subtle in their signs of arthritis, you may notice nothing more than reluctance to jump onto higher surfaces such as a table or bed, where previously they would have jumped up easily. Radiographic studies have shown that the majority of cats over ten do have some arthritis, so when in doubt assume that your older cat probably does have some joint soreness.
Animals with arthritis don’t tend to cry out in pain, more often they just seem to be ‘slowing down’.
But in reality many animals that just seem to be ‘slowing down’ have arthritis, which is a medical problem that you can help them with and improve their quality of life.
In general signs that indicate your animal could have arthritis include:
- reduced activity
- reluctance to walk or play
- stiffness (especially in the mornings or after a sleeping)
- difficulty getting up
- limping / lameness (harder to spot if it is in both legs)
- difficulty climbing stairs or jumping up or down
- lagging behind on walks
- licking or chewing at the joints
- yelping in pain when touched
- personality change (possibly aggression or depression)
If you suspect arthritis you should take your pet for a check-up with your veterinarian.
If you have an older animal, even if you do not suspect arthritis, you should ask your veterinarian to check for and discuss arthritis at their regular check-ups. However, don’t forget that arthritis can occur in younger animals too. There are many treatment and management options for arthritis that can help your pet feel more comfortable and be more active well into old age.

I recently posted my thoughts on the Slow Juicer from Panasonic; this recipe is the first juice I have ever made. On first thoughts you may think – apple and raspberry, yes; apple and carrot, maybe; but mix them all together and it seems a bit of an odd combination. Raspberry juice isn’t one that is come across very often.
I can tell you though, it is delicious. The apple gives it a little tartness; the carrot a more savoury flavour; add raspberries, and it adds sweetness and makes it a beautiful colour! I almost didn’t want to drink it. All four of us loved it, and it’s a real thirst quencher. It is super super easy too!
Ingredients (serves 2)
- 200g apple, chopped into 2cm pieces
- 200g carrot, chopped into 2cm pieces
- 150g raspberries
There is no need to peel the apple or carrot as the juicer will remove the skin as pulp.
- Making sure the juicer is set up and turned on, slowly feed the ingredients into the feeding tube, alternating between all 3.
- Watch as the juicer works its magic and makes your juice.
*This post forms part of my ambassador role for the Panasonic Kitchen.

I guess you can say that my family is the typical one when it comes to handling the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re spending a lot of time at home. Much of the time not wearing shoes at home. Oh, and like many others, we got a dog.
We’ve had our dog Juju for a couple of months. She’s become part of our family quickly. She spends her days saving us from rabid squirrels that she thinks are going to take over. And like most dogs, she loves chewing on her bone.
Well heavy bones, fast dogs, and bare feet don’t go well together. As Juju was running past me carrying her bone, she dropped it. Right. On. My. Toe.
I saw stars and ran to put ice on it. Regardless, my toe swelled and became bruised. It hurt to wear a shoe. I was worried that I broke my toe. I decided that I would see my podiatrist the next day. Fortunately, I’m able to take care of myself sometimes.The next day I took an x-ray of my foot and found that Juju and her bone did fracture my toe. Good news…it was a hairline fracture that cracked the bone. It wasn’t through the entire bone. And it wasn’t displaced at all. This is the best-case scenario for a broken toe.
It’s often said that there’s nothing that you can do for a broken toe. That’s not the case. First of all, I need to take an x-ray. This is to make sure that if the toe is broken, the bone is not displaced. If the bone is displaced, I often will numb the toe and manipulate it so it is better position. (If this had to be done to my toe, I would have had to go to someone else…I couldn’t do this to myself!)
The second thing that I need to do if the toe is broken is to splint it. It is called a buddy splint. I use a non-stick wrap to splint the broken toe to the toe next to it. I also use lamb’s wool between the toes to keep them separated and cushioned. It is important to keep using a buddy splint as the toe heals. This makes sure that the toe is stable while it heals.
I was fortunate that Juju and her bone didn’t break my toe worse than it was. Believe me, it hurt enough with the hairline fracture. I’m happy to say that with treatment, the swelling and bruising is gone. There is no longer any pain.
If your dog drops something on your toe. Or if you slam it into a piece of furniture, don’t think that there’s nothing that you can do. Contact the office for an immediate appointment. I’ll be able to take an x-ray and make sure your toe is treated properly.

When planning a Disney trip, I am often giddy with excitement and dreaming of Mickey Ice Cream Bars and Dole Whips in my sleep. Of course, my coworkers and friends are fully aware of my crazy commitment to planning a trip, but there are the few who ask “How do you afford to go each year?” “Disney is so expensive. I could never take my family on that kind of trip.” Well, to those folks I say “It can be done.” It doesn’t mean feeding your family peanut butter sandwiches or Ramen Noodle for months. With a little planning and organization anyone can go to “The Happiest Place on Earth”.
Clip It– I like to coupon and I do it very well. About four years ago, I wanted to take my children to Disney, but was concerned with costs. I was surfing the internet and found an awesome website called Couponing to Disney. I scoffed thinking it would take forever to save a trip by couponing, but as I perused the site I took the ideas on how to coupon as a challenge and started my challenge. I couponed everything I could. Grocery, retail stores and rebates. I never bought anything I did not need just because it was a good deal. I was even enlightening friends about great deals at our local grocery and drug stores. My kids would tease me that if we didn’t have a coupon we couldn’t buy it (I wasn’t that stringent). I was a couponing demon, I was on fire and I saved $3500.00 in one year. Every time I saved on my receipt I would bank that money for the trip. That was enough for three of us to stay on Disney property during a Free Dining offer and it included our airfare. It wasn’t hard work, but it required organization and planning.
In addition, here at The Mouse For Less, we provide lots of options for saving money on various parts of a vacation. Whether it be rental car discounts, vacation planning discounts, or more.
Sell It– Host a yard sale by yourself or with some friends. Everyone has “stuff” that they no longer need. Also sites such as EBay, Craigslist and the many on line auction sites can assist in clearing away your clutter and putting some cash in your pocket.
Money for Nothin’– Some of my favorite sites to “earn” money on are Receipt Hog, Swagbucks and Bing. Receipt Hog is a site that asks you to take pictures of your receipts and in return you earn coins. When you reach 4000 coins you can redeem them for $30.00 real cash. Swagbucks is another site that allows you to earn points for watching videos, answering questions and taking surveys. The points you earn can range from 1-100 or even more on surveys, (if you qualify). These points can be turned into cash or gift cards. BING is a search engine that also awards you points for searching websites and answering trivia. What I like about all these sites, is that you can send the dollars you earn to a PayPal account or turn them into gift cards.
Some of the couponing sites I use are SavingStar, Ibotta, Checkout 51 and Snap. These are e-coupon sites that give you back dollars and cents by either snapping pictures of receipts or connecting them to store discount cards. Ebates is one more site that gives you a percentage of cash back on all purchases. Some of the e-couponing sites send you checks others allow for PayPal transfers. Keep in mind you will not be earning hundreds of dollars a week on these sites, but as my grandmother said “Pennies make dollars” and dollars buy Dole Whips.
I was very wary of these sites in the beginning and concerned about SPAM and viruses. I can say that I have not been SPAMed as of this writing and I use my best judgement so as not to get viruses. I also must tell you I am in no way endorsing these sites.
Change it Up I have not spent change in four years. I save my change year round and then right before the trip “home” I cash out at the CoinStar machine. Nothing makes me smile wider than the clanging and changing of all my dimes, nickels, pennies and quarters churning through the machine and at the end spitting out a healthy receipt for my vacation. In the past few years, change alone has netted me $100.00-$150.00. It’s not a king’s ransom, but it sure is enough to buy a few funnel cakes in America or Grey Goose Slushies in France.
Save It for a Rainy Day (or a Disney vacation)-Invest in a Disney Vacation Account. The Disney Vacation Account is a relatively new product that is run by Disney. It works like a savings account, but can only be used for a Disney vacation. You can deposit cash into the account and withdraw it to pay for your Disney vacation. This is savings strictly for Disney vacation. For more information on the Disney Vacation Account, check out the recent article written by my fellow bloggers Elizabeth and Scott G. There’s some great information in that article.
If the Disney Vacation Account is not quite to your style, open your own “Disney” account through the local credit union or bank. Ask your employer to deduct a specific dollar figure from your check each week and direct deposit the funds into the vacation fund. I know it is much easier for me to save money if I don’t see it first. If knowing that the money is in your regular bank in town is too tempting, open an account in a different bank that you don’t frequent. Before you know it you will be chomping on churros at the 3:00 parade.
Give yourself a Gift (Card) – Gift cards are also another great way to save. If your plans are set in stone, buy Disney gift cards for your trip. Not only can you use them to pay off your trip, but you can use them to buy meals, special event tickets and souvenirs in the parks. If you are not so sure or you feel there might be a chance of cancellation, buy Visa, MasterCard or Amex gift cards. They are great ways to smuggle away a few extra dollars before the trip.
Gift cards can be purchased at Target with the Red Card at a 5% discount. Costco and Sam’s also sell 3 packs of Disney gift cards at a discounted price. On a $3000.00 trip that you pay for with Red Card purchased gift cards you can save an additional $150.00. That can pay for a meal at Cinderella’s Royal Table for two adults or perhaps a trip to Bibbiti Bobbiti Boutique for your Princess.
These are just a few ways I have saved for a Disney trip over the past few years. Organizing, planning and saving are key to a successful Disney vacation whether you go yearly or bi-yearly. Give it a try and you will be amazed at the results.
What do you do to save for a Disney vacation?

One of the principle theories in Yin Yoga is to relax the muscles and allow the bones to support you.
For some, traditional legs up a wall causes minimal to significant tension in the abs and the hamstrings. To avoid those discomforts and simply relax into the pose, letting the legs literally rest against the wall eliminates any “work” for the abs and hamstrings.
Legs up a wall is a great inversion. While most inversions are contraindicated for people with uncontrolled high blood pressure, this one is a good choice as the head does not hang below the heart, and one still gets the increase in circulation. As a result, with the legs propped against a wall, most anyone can be comfortable for extended periods in this pose.
“Mr. Iyengar also encouraged us to stay in inversions for longer periods of time, according to our ability,” says Judith Hanson Lasater the mother of Restorative Yoga. A physical therapist, she studied directly with Iyengar.
I tend to do this pose toward the end of the class. Since this is a supine pose, pregnant women will need to place a large bolster under their head and spine. Others may enjoy placing a small cushion under their head and/or hips. This is so restful, that I like to use this sometimes before savasana.
“From an Eastern philosophical viewpoint, inversions are thought to effect the different Pranas in the body, especially Apana and Prana. Prana in the chest is very dominant during the day, when we’re upright all the time. When we turn upside down, we give prominence to Apana, the introspective, archetypal feminine, internalizing energy,” adds Lasater.
For more about benefits of Yin Yoga or Restorative Yoga, visit my blog spot, www.TheNamasteCounsel.com/yoga-blog. As always, consult your yoga therapist to determine which poses are best suited for your particular physical and emotional needs.

From the outset I’d like to say that it’s pretty difficult to try and make a Maserati GranCabrio look bad but this particular version is on a new scale.
It’s the stunning result of a collaboration between the Italians at the car making company we know as Maserati and the Italians at fashion market grabbing Fendi.
Maserati’s incredibly good looking convertible never had a problem turning heads but once it got past the design house it started to resemble something as sensual as melting chocolate.
Maserati and Fendi aren’t keen on handing over too many details before the official unveiling at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show.
That’s why all we know so far is that these cars are going to be turned special with a set of unique features, the following of which are listed as follows.
The Maserati GranCabrio Fendi is painted in a special 3 layered body color called Grigio Fiamma Fendi which is actually a dark gray paint with imprinted flecks of gold that create this sort of chocolaty effect.
Inside you’ll find special leather and wood trim in the cabin, yellow highlights inside and out, a leather luggage set that’s designed especially to fit in the trunk of the GranCabrio and, of course, all of the appropriate badging where necessary.
Predictably, it’s going to be a limited edition but nobody is telling us what numbers the Maserati GranCabrio Fendi will be produced in.

Achluophobia, novercaphobia, verbophobia… what DOES this word “phobia” mean? A phobia is a fear. There are literally hundreds of “phobia” words which describe the different forms of fear and anxiety people hold. Fear of not being good enough. Fear of failure. Fear of relationships, fear of success or unsuccessful-ness, fear of action, fear of spiders, fear of heights, fear of people, space and circumstances. Last but not least, tropophobia: a fear of change. If you suffer from a phobia, consider phobia hypnotherapy and scientifically proven psychological strategies to help you regain your life. Everyone has the power to overcome their fears – some people just need a little help finding it.What many people don’t realise is that phobias aren’t “just the way I am”. Phobias are more often than not rooted in some event from a person’s past which had such a strong, lasting impression that they develop a phobia to in response. This is similar to one-trial learning, for example, someone might get food poisoning from a fish and in the future just the smell of fish can be enough to make them feel ill, meaning they avoid it. Similarly, phobias can occur from just one incident but they can also stem from repeated incidents in someone’s past. The difference is that it’s easy to avoid eating fish without a serious impact on the quality of life.Phobias, on the other hand, can seriously degenerate a person’s ability to lead a full and active life as part of society. Hypnotherapy and other mind techniques are effective ways of combating and overcoming phobias. Phobias can limit where we go, what we eat, what we wear, and what time of day we leave the house… Even the relatively simple fear of heights can affect our ability to work in an office building. The list is potentially endless as the fear and anxiety felt by each individual makes its presence felt indifferent ways.When I have a patient who wants to overcome their phobia, the first thing I will do is use phobia hypnotherapy to discover the past event from which their phobia stems. The object of the fear and anxiety may be the cause of the phobia developing, or it could be mentally associated with the cause. Once pinpointed, I will desensitise the patient from the event. A common way to o this is to associate your phobia with something good, where in the past it has been associated with something negative. This is a type of learning which psychologists refer to as “classical conditioning”. As far back as the 20s, American psychologists Watson and Rayner were conducting experiments to teach “Little Albert”, an 11-month old boy to fear a white rat. They did this by banging a sheet of metal behind the baby whenever they gave him the rabbit.Little Albert soon began to show fear reactions to the white rat even when the loud noise was not made, and extended this fear to a white rabbit. Today, this is considered extremely unethical but the principal is similar to one method of overcoming phobias that we use today. To classically condition people out of phobias, many therapists have developed exercises to slowly associate a phobia with “good” (such as a desert) instead of bad. This can be successful even to the stage that a person with arachnophobia can eat a cake with a spider on the table in front of them. The aim is always the same: to desensitize the patient from their fear by creating a warm, safe, rewarding environment and gradually introducing the phobia to it.When this desensitization has been achieved, I will begin a program of hypnotic suggestion, metaphor and possibly Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Metaphor, hypnotherapy and NLP are techniques which will help the patient to establish a new template to see the previously feared situation (phobia), object or circumstance in a different and non-threatening light – they literally gain a new perspective on the situation, one which eliminates the need for fear. NLP is a strong psychological tool to use whenever you are in a situation when you feel your phobia might once again overcome you.With phobia hypnotherapy and including the use of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), I am able to create with my patients a new fear free way of looking at the world until their fear of heights is so far behind them they can sky dive. Let me show you the easy way you can release yourself from the uncertain world of fear to start a better future and live in a fulfilled and outstanding life!Don’t underestimate the powers of hypnotherapy, or yourself to confront your phobia. The object of your fear may seem like the most powerful force in the world but with some willpower and help along the way, I can show you how to diminish your phobia and see it for what it truly is: an obstacle between you and a happy, fulfilling, outgoing, exciting and adventurous lifestyle! Take action now and be your own MOMENTUM MAKER in only one single session!

Mid-Michigan's Bigger Dealer With Better Deals
A maintenance kit is a set of replacement parts for a printer. Each printer has a preset maintenance interval, which occurs after a certain amount of pages are printed. The maintenance interval lets the user know that it’s time to install the maintenance kit so that the parts within the printer do not get overused.PAPER PICKUP ROLLER KIT
Every printer and manufacturer is different, so the parts included in the kit will also be different. Parts that may be included in a maintenance kit are the fuser assembly, transfer roller, pickup rollers, separation pads, corona assembly, fan assembly, cleaning cloths and gloves.
The fuser assembly is a pair of rollers that fuse the toner into the fibers of the paper. A transfer roller is an electrically-charged roller located underneath the toner cartridge. When the paper passes through the drum, it also passes through the roller which transfers toner onto the page. Pickup rollers, often called feed or separation rollers, are used to pickup the paper from the tray and feed it to the printer. Separation pads are made to assist the pickup rollers by applying tension so that the paper is pushed to the printer. When the separation pad is worn down, it cannot push the paper properly which causes paper jams.
The following parts are not as common in maintenance kits as the parts listed above, and again depend on the printer and manufacturer. A corona assembly in the printer is the part of the printer responsible for the electrical charges. The drum, toner and paper must all be charged in specific ways so that the drum can place the toner onto the paper correctly. The fan assembly within the printer gives off just enough air to keep the paper flat as it enters the printer. Finally, cleaning cloths and gloves are often included within the maintenance kit to ensure proper care of the inside parts.
It is important to pay attention to the maintenance interval in your printer. Ignoring the alerts can potentially cause serious wear to your printer. Maintaining the parts inside your printer avoids permanent damage and the need for replacement.

In a previous article on this blog, I’ve examined restrictions and opportunities around finding a place to practice your bushcraft skills in the UK.
I’ve also written about the virtues of taking your bushcraft skills further afield than your home territory (wherever you are based, UK or otherwise).
In the present article, I want to address the major considerations for planning an overseas wilderness journey.
To me, the attraction of going further afield boils down to the differences that other geographies offer that the UK might not. On the face of it, this is an obvious statement.
But before you just stick a pin the map at random, I think it’s important to be clear about the specific reasons you might want to make an overseas trip. This is clearly a major factor in the overall equation of deciding where to go and what to do there.
Of course, every place has its own unique characteristics, even within a country. But it’s the combination of differences and, importantly, the opportunities these combinations provide, allowing the possibility of having experiences that you simply can’t have closer to home which are attractive. For example, consistent winter snow plus an excellent network of huts makes Norway a great destination for ski touring.
When we are talking about being able to make journeys where we can employ and extend our bushcraft skills, factors such as the following are amongst the most important:
- More permissive laws on access and camping;
- More permissive laws/regulations on lighting fires;
- Lower population densities;
- Greater levels of forestation/large areas of bush;
- Different weather – warmer/colder, wetter/dryer;
- Better access to or more extensive waterways;
- Established networks of trails;
- Established networks of cabins or huts;
- Geography dictating the necessity of a mode of transport – e.g. canoe or 4WD;
Moreover, much of bushcraft revolves around knowledge of nature. If you are to extend your bushcraft skills, you need to travel to areas where the flora and fauna is different to what you are used to.
From firecraft to animal tracking, a new environment will test your skills in a way that your home turf cannot. Ultimately, you’ll need to travel further afield to extend your skills and experience.
Clearly these opportunities have to be weighed up against the time, money and risk involved in achieving them.
Wherever you go and whatever you do, there are some fundamentals which you need to consider….
Choose An Environment
You probably already have some ideas of the types of trips you’d like to make, or at least the types of environment you’d like to visit. A winter snow-shoeing trip may be a lot more attractive to you than a walking safari in Tanzania. Or, if multiple environments inspire your wanderlust, then you probably at least have an order of preference. If not, create a list that does this. Budget is also likely to be a factor in determining where you go next.
Calculate Your Budget
One of the first things you need to do is work out what your budget is. A ballpark figure is OK to start with. Then roughly work out what it will cost you to get to a country. Remember also an important consideration is to budget for travel in country, not just to get to the country. Domestic flights can be more costly than international flights, for example. For many countries, however, you can easily research likely transport costs – flights, trains, buses, ferries, etc., – online these days. You can also get a good idea of general costs of transport and food from published travel guidebooks.
In terms of budgeting for making a wilderness journey, a self-contained backpacking trip utilising gear you already own, is going to be less expensive than hiring canoeing kit, for example. Your broad budget will determine what is feasible both in terms of getting to a country but also what you can afford to do once you get there. A hiking trip in Sweden is going to be a lot less expensive overall than a 4WD trip in the top end of Australia.
If you need to purchase or rent specialist equipment in order to undertake a particular type of journey, then make sure you budget properly for this too. Visiting cold environments tends to be more costly in this respect than warm and dry places, particularly in terms of the specialist clothing required.
How Much Time Do You Have?
Many young travellers manage to go far with just a backpack and not much money. The asset they have is time. If you have time, you can seek out the cheapest ways of getting somewhere, you can wait for connections, you can take the slow option, you can hitch lifts and you can organise accommodation and equipment as you go.
On the other hand, if you only have a limited number of days you can take away from work or family, you may need to pay for faster, more direct transport. You may want to pay someone to organise logistics or equipment for you ahead of time, rather than sort it yourself when you get there.
How Remote Is Remote?
Those of us who live in the UK, live somewhere on a collection of small islands. No-one is particularly far from the sea. Nor are they particularly far from a road or habitation. Hence, those of us who seek splendid isolation, look for the most remote parts of our small land.
We tend to carry this thinking over to other territories. This can be a mistake, particularly for the novice wilderness traveller. Like the country as a whole, the level of isolation of the most remote parts of Canada, for example, is on a completely different scale to the UK.
You don’t have to go to great lengths to find yourself in much more remote settings than you’d ever be able to in the UK. Think about what suits your level of experience plus your budget (more remote tends to be more expensive in terms of time and/or money).
Check The Access Rules
While a territory may have more permissive rules on camping and fires, the number of people allowed access to an area at any given time period may be restricted. Ticket systems operate on some hiking trails. You may have to book your slot a long way in advance. You may even need to obtain a government-issued permit to enter certain areas of a country before you travel to them.
Also, even though access to a national park, for example, may be open, access to designated places you are permitted to camp overnight may be limited to a small number of people at a time. Again you may need to book in advance.
In the UK this is not something we are used to – we are used to just turning up and hiking off into our national parks and other wild places. Don’t let this potential difference catch you out when travelling overseas. Research ahead of time.
What Are The Objectives?
Think carefully about what you are aiming to achieve. If there are more people than just you involved, then this will need to be discussed with some or all of the others. The objectives of the trip should, in any case, be transmitted to everyone involved. A common cause of friction on trips can be a lack of common understanding of the goals of the trip.
Do You Have The Requisite Experience?
An important question you have to be objective about is whether you have the requisite experience to take on your adventure. For example, is your navigation well practised enough to be able to find your way in an environment with few man-made features and landmarks? Is your fire-lighting slick and sufficiently bombproof to work in the conditions you are likely to face? If you are undertaking a 4WD journey do you have the necessary driving experience and mechanical knowledge?
Do You Need Training?
For any wilderness, you should have good navigational skills and relevant first aid/medical training. You might also need training in trip-specific skills such as white water canoeing or 4WD driving. Make sure you seek out the training you need and leave plenty of time to consolidate your skills.
Do Your Research
Find out as much as you can about where you are going. Read guidebooks. Research online. Study maps. Is there a best time of year to make the trip for reasons of weather, ground conditions, availability of resources, fire risk, wildlife, insects, length of day, etc.?
Make sure you are aware of important local customs from what offends people to when shops are likely to be open or closed. Learn some of the local language if you can – knowing how to say hello, please and thank you can get you a long way.
Give Yourself Plenty Of Time
You may need to order guidebooks and maps. Maps in particular can require either a bit of seeking out or just a significant lead time in ordering. In the UK, Stanfords in Covent Garden, London is a very good place to start for maps and guidebooks.
Assess The Risks
Be methodical in thinking about the objective hazards that are likely to be present in the environment you are visiting. Hypothermia? Hyperthermia? Moving water? Bears? Snakes? Other people?
Make A Solid Plan
Write yourself an itinerary. You can do this and format it neatly in a word processing or spreadsheet package. Think it all through carefully and leave time for contingencies. If you can, have someone else check the plan for robustness.
Plan For Things Going Wrong As Well As Right
Think about what happens if someone becomes ill or injured. What equipment will you need? Are you able to communicate with people who will be able to provide help/assistance? Will there be mobile phone coverage? Will you need spare batteries? Will you need a satellite phone? What happens if you are injured – will your travel companions be aware of where they are? Will companions know what needs to be done in terms of looking after you, raising the alarm or communicating with emergency services?
Make sure a copy of your itinerary is lodged with a responsible person not on the trip. Make sure they know when to raise the alarm if you don’t check in or return home.
Obtain Suitable Insurance
Travel insurance policies vary. You may have a policy already as part of your banking, home insurance or credit card package. Check the small print for what is covered. There can be territorial exclusions as well as restrictions on the number of days covered – both consecutive and total per year. There are often restrictions on winter sports and/or diving. Make sure you know what you are covered for and what you are not.
If you need to purchase additional insurance, make sure you do. Paying for rescues or even hospital treatment gets expensive quickly. The British Mountaineering Council offer a range of travel insurance policies, which are well-suited to the adventurous traveller.
If you have a European passport and travelling in Europe, make sure you have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
Obtain Relevant Inoculations
Make sure you have all the relevant inoculations in place and up-to-date plus any medicines you may need to take while you are travelling. If you need any certificates of inoculations – such as for Yellow Fever – make sure you take them too.
Taking Your Cutting Tools On A Plane
I’m regularly asked about how to take cutting tools and other outdoor equipment overseas. The answer is usually simple – put it in your hold luggage. This is certainly the case with knives, saws and axes. Just make sure they are well packed and not somewhere in your pack or duffel where they are close to the surface and risk cutting through if the bag is dropped.
Let me and other readers know where you’d like to make a wilderness journey by commenting below. What’s on your bucket list? It’s possible other readers have some experience there already and can give you tips and advice. If you can help someone with information, please do. Also, if you have made a great wilderness journey, let us benefit from your experience – tell us what you learned, did right/wrong and any advice for travellers considering such a trip. Thanks and I look forward to reading your comments…

So, you might be asking yourself, 'What do the rest of these people who are not stitching, running around listening to needs or amputating fingers do all afternoon?'
It's simple really. We just sit at the top of the stairs and watch Troy, Britt, Paige, Jamie and Sharon work. It's exhausting. ;-) The server comes by for our drink & hors d' oeuvres orders at the top of each hour. Good thing - or we might not be able to be sooo supportive. ;-)
We had a busy day, everytime I looked down three hours had passed, we accomplished much, so much that I don't even feel bad for missing my run today. If every day was as busy as today, we'd all be dead by now. (Thankfully Britt has no classes this week.)
I think they saw 15 patients, four of whom had stitches done and two who had pieces of bones cut out of their hands. We turned a few away because after ten hours of standing up the medical gurus were ready to call it a day. Lazy butts. All of this took place in the cool breeze of another 98 degree day. Ack.
I promised our church, especially one opinionated and scrappy guy named Dave Foy, that it would not be too hot in December ... I am hoping not to become a liar --- but right now it's not looking good. Who knew October would be hotter than July?
We cannot express what an encouragement it is to have J and S here ... to know that they could have spent their $1200 in airfare to go anyplace else in the Caribbean and beyond, but instead they chose US, that is just way too cool. So, knowing that our church, my parents, and other friends are also headed south in the coming months ... we're just slaphappy.
Who else wants to come?
We have spent the last many months training our children not to leave lights or fans on if they are not in the room. (Electricity here equals expensive diesel fuel to run a generator. The generator charges batteries. The less electricity you use, the longer the batteries last.) I believe tonight I have proof of successful training.
Jack-Jack walks into the bathroom and flushes the toilet, for no reason at all.
Hope says: "Noah!!! You are wasting the batteries on that toilet!" "Don't do that!!!"
Have a great Tuesday!

Abstract Geographic space is a large scale space which is beyond the human perception, and can not be seen from a single viewpoint. Maps and drawings provide one way of perceiving and understanding geographic spaces. Here another approach to spatial cognition is addressed. The approach, space syntax, is proved to be of great value in predicting human spatial behaviour in urban environments. The discussion is instrumental in explaining some previous findings in space syntax studies, and can also be seen as a contribution to Naive geography. The basic assumption is that human spatial cognition in some sense is determined by spatial configuration, and spatial cognition again determines human spatial behaviour like pedestrian movement in urban environments. Thus, by analysing urban morphological properties, pedestrian rates are predictable.
Keywords: Spatial cognition, space syntax, naïve geography.
Spatial cognition is the human understanding and perception of geographic space. Geographical space is a large-scale space, it is "a space whose structure is at a significantly larger scale than the observations available at an instant. Thus, to learn the large-scale structure of the space, the traveller must necessarily build a cognitive map of the environment by integrating observations over extended periods of time, inferring spatial structure from perceptions and effects of actions." (Kuipers and Levit 1990). Thus, geographic space differentiates from small scale space or ‘table-top’ space, in which objects are thought of being manipulable or explorable from a single point of view. One could have a global view of the small scale space. Urban environments can be seen as a kind of geographic space either at the architecture scale or city scale.
The traditional view on spatial cognition is said to be based on cognitive maps (Lynch 1960) - a mental map about the geographic space. However, it is generally agreed that the cognitive map is not entirely maplike (Kuipers 1982, pp. 202). Maps are based on Euclidean geometry, i.e. spatial objects are represented with precise co-ordinates along objects edges or outlines. However, spatial cognition is not necessarily based on metric measures, for instance, spatial adjacency cannot be perceived by a metric measure, as trivial distance difference might exclude a site from a particular neighbourhood.
In the context of this paper, a new kind of map called an axial map using the space syntax approach is introduced, which, we believe, has more resemblance to a cognitive map. The axial map, or more precisely the space syntax approach, is well used to predict human spatial behaviour both at the architectural and city scale. Therefore the paper is intended to provide cognitive evidence as to why human behaviour is predictable using the space syntax approach, rather than how people explore the urban system with an axial map. The basic assumption is that spatial configuration (morphological structure) is the driving force for human activity within urban environments, and it is this that first influences human cognition, and further determines human activity within urban environments.
The work presented here is also motivated by naïve geography in the field of spatial information theory, a theoretical basis for GIS. Naive geography (Egenhofer and Mark 1995) is defined as the body of knowledge that people have about the surrounding geographic world. It is considered to be the fundamentals of next generation GIS, which can be used by average citizens without extensive training. Naive geography intends to incorporate people’s concepts about space and time and to mimic human thinking.
The remainder of this paper continues with a brief introduction to the space syntax approach used as a powerful tool for urban morphological analysis (Jiang 1998). In the main part of this paper, sections 3 and 4, we elaborate on the plausity of the space syntax approach both as a computational and cognitive model. Section 5 presents our conclusions and points out some directions for further research.
2. Space syntax approach
Space syntax is based on the fact that an urban environment is an interconnected space where everywhere links to everywhere else. The space syntax approach provides an urban morphological representation by looking at only public spaces (open space). These public spaces look like a beady ring system, in which space widens to form irregular beads, and narrows to form strings, while at the same time joining back to itself so that there are always choices of routes from any one space to any other space (Hillier and Hanson 1984, pp. 90).
Based on the analogy of the beady ring system, there are two ways to represent urban environments by only concentrating on public spaces: convex polygons and axial lines. A convex polygon is a polygon that no line drawn between any pair of points within that polygon goes outside of the polygon. The axial line is the longest straight line which chains convex polygons. Axial lines are said to be also linked to the notion of visibility. Both kinds of representation are named convex maps and axial maps respectively. Figure 1 shows the open space of an irregular street grid and its axial representation - axial map.
Figure 1: The open space of an irregular street grid (a) and its axial representation (b)
The above axial representation gives the opportunity to measure a particular property of the urban environment; connectivity indexes, control value and integration are some of these morphological properties. Connectivity is the measure of how well an axial line is intersected by others. In principle, there is no non-intersected line in any urban environment, i.e. each space is accessible from every other space in the city. In the mean time, experience tells us that the length of the axial line has some correlation to connectivity indexes, that is, these are more possibilities for lengthy lines to be intersected by others.
A modification of connectivity is control value, which measures how each axial line controls its immediate neighbours, i.e. those lines intersected by the current one. Both connectivity and control are local measures, since they only take into account relationships between a space and its immediate neighbours.
Integration of a line is by definition a value which indicates the degree to which a line is more integrated, or segregated, from a system as a whole. The measure is actually based on a more basic notion called depth. Depth is more generally a topological distance in a graph. If two lines are directly connected, then the distance between them is equal to one, and the distance of a pair of lines which are not directly connected is the shortest path between them. Integration is a global measure, as the calculation of integration is based on the total depth from the current. However, if a number of depth, instead of all depth, is considered, then the integration is called local integration.
Finally the axial maps can be coloured from red through the spectrum to blue depending either on connectivity or on integration. Thus red lines are well connected or well integrated, and blue lines are not well connected and most segregated with spectrum representing something in between.
In summary, global integration is a key morphological variable, and its value of a space can be measured based on the number of other spaces that must be traversed in order to reach all the other parts of the system. Connectivity, as well as local integration, on the other hand, measures local morphological property of a system. In some sense, control value is a modified connectivity measure which takes into account the connection of each neighbour of a space. Thus, global integration is a global measure describing the relation of each space to the system as a whole, while connectivity and local integration are local measures describing the relationship of each space to its neighbours.
The development of space syntax theory basically consists of two parts: (1) the formalisms of geographic models for urban environments; and (2) the test and analysing of formal models. The above discussion only covers the first part. As far as the second part concerned, extensive empirical studies have been made over the past decade with spatial syntax research (e.g. Hillier 1997). The rest of this paper concentrate on the computational and cognitive aspects of the model.
3. The computational model of space
You may have sensed from the above introduction to the space syntax that the theory is based on the graph theory, or more precisely that the actual morphological computation is based on the associated graph of the axial map. Figure 2 shows a simple version of an axial map and the associated graph. With the figure, it is relatively easy to understand the morphological measures introduced above. First of all, connectivity is the number of nodes directly linked to each individual node. For instance, line 1 (or node 1 in the associated graph) in figure 2 has connectivity of 3, and line 2 has connectivity of 1.
Figure 2: An axial map and the associated graph
The control value for a line is determined according to the following
where n is the number of immediate neighbours of a space, and Cj is the connectivity of the jth immediate neighbour of the space.
According to the definition of depth, for each axial line, all other
lines should be traversed in order to retain the so called mean depth (MD),
where n is the number of spaces and is the total depth of the ith axial line.
For measuring integration and segregation property, MD is sufficient.
Relative Asymmetry (RA) is employed to standardise MD between 0 and 1.
What keeps space syntax a plausible model for spatial cognition is that it is a computational model. In other words, with the computational model by analysing morphological structure human spatial behaviour is predictable. For instance, extensive empirical studies over the past decade have demonstrated that pedestrian rates strongly correlate to local integration value (Hillier et al. 1993).
4. The cognitive model of space
In this section, we attempt to elaborate on some cognitive issues using the space syntax approach, e.g. why human behaviour is predictable? Space syntax is also considered as a contribution to naive geography, because it is not only computationally plausible, as shown above, but is also cognitively plausible as discussed below.
Figure 3: Closed spaces and open spaces
4.1 Closed spaces vs open spaces
Geographic spaces, particularly urban environments, are complex spaces which can be viewed from two stands: closed spaces and open spaces. As shown in Figure 3, closed spaces are spatial entities such as buildings, plots, and street blocks; open spaces are mainly streets. Traditional maps represent geographic spaces both with closed spaces and open spaces in a paper sheet, while GIS represent these spaces layer by layer. Space syntax concentrates on the representation of open spaces in a unique way which differentiates it from maps and GIS.
Open spaces are all interconnected, one can travel from everywhere to everywhere else. It is this kind of characteristics that keep space syntax in a unique way in modelling urban environments, or geographic space in more general term. From the cognitive point of view, concentration on open spaces at least has following advantages. It is useful to analyse and understand the morphological structure; It facilitates the perception of human activities in urban environments.
One of spatial knowledge is cognitive knowledge, which is essentially ‘map-like’, and includes knowledge of relative positions, distances and angles (Mark 1997). However, we argue that maps are poor in perceiving spatial configuration, while axial maps, a special map based on open spaces, are good in analysing the morphological properties of urban environments. The study of spatial configuration is instrumental in predicting human behaviour, for instance, pedestrian movements in urban environments.
4. 2 Vista spaces vs urban environments
Space syntax starts the representation of urban environments from what can be seen from a single viewpoint. The viewable space is called a vista space which is represented as an axial line. Thus an urban environment is a set of all vista spaces, and is represented visually as an axial map, or mathematically an interconnected graph. Therefore, the property of an urban environment can be inferred from individual vista spaces. Compared to spatial modelling using Euclidean geometry in which the geographic objects are represented as a series of co-ordinates and spatial inference is based on the complex computation, the space syntax approach is object oriented.
An axial map is an economic representation of urban form, which is a kind of morphological representation. Krafta (1997, pp.2) refers to the kind of morphological representation as a configurational representation, i.e. "a representation of the urban spatial reality given by a few categories of components (e.g. the axial line) and rules (the adjacency) which tie each component to all others in such a way that a change in any one of these basic elements reflects on the entire system". Therefore, morphological representation differs from maps and the like (photographs, or drawings) in the sense that it is a systematic description of urban environments.
Regarding the economic representation, Krafta gave a plausible analogy - "x ray" of urban environments. Axial maps can be seen as the approximate skeleton of urban environments. That is, with the axial map representation, it is possible to think about the basic form of urban environments. For instance, figure 4 shows a series of axial maps of Oxford at different times from the 14 century up to the present, where the grey scale of lines represents the global integration, i.e. the darker, the more integrated. From the figure, the basic spatial morphological structure is readable, for instance where the integrated areas are and where the segregated areas are.
Figure 4: An axial map series of Oxford
The difference between morphological representations and maps, has been rooted in long standing debate, i.e. whether geographic space should be viewed as something measurable with a ruler or whether the only important information is the relationships between objects in that space. Human thinking is not metric based. If you are asked where your home is, you may answer by saying in which region (hierarchical reasoning), and by (topological relation) a certain street. Therefore, topological relationship is frequently used in daily life. Incorporation of this sort of knowledge into a GIS is so called common-sense reasoning. This strikes me to be a possible explanation of how people in general perceive space when they are walking or driving over the urban space, i.e. one vista space is perceived as one unit in human mind, and the urban space is a collection of all vista spaces. With this explanation, it is understandable that pedestrian rates are predictable using the local morphological properties.
Street networks seem to have similar roles as axial maps in structural description, however, we are not convinced with this as named streets are in a sense "artificial". Maps are the most efficient and effective way of communicating metric properties of large scale space, whilst the axial maps are more likely to resemble human spatial reasoning and perception processes.
4.3 Distance and spatial adjacency
Distance is the central concept of spatial cognition, and it plays an important role in human activity. As stated by Montello (1997, pp. 297), "it helps us orient ourselves and locate places during navigation. It is used to evaluate costs of travelling from one place to another, and it helps us utilise resources efficiently (time, money, food). Clearly, knowledge of distances in the environment ‘effect the decision to stay or go.. the decision of where to go... [and] the decision of which route to take’ (Cadwallader 1976: pp. 316). It therefore seems likely that an understanding of the perception and explanation of spatial behaviour."
The distance that space syntax concerns itself with is a sort of topological distance (Buckley and Harary 1990), i.e. the distance of two intersected axial lines is one, and distance of non-intersected lines is the shortest path between them. The paradigm about distance set by space syntax conforms well to cognitive distance. This is summarised as a so called segmentation feature, i.e. routes with increasing numbers of right-angle turns were shown to be psychologically longer than routes with fewer right-angle turns (Sadalla and Magel 1980). Figure 4 illustrates two routes from point A to point B, people in general follow the route with more turns have a longer distance estimate than another route with only one turn. Again this strikes me as an indication of the resemblance between topological relationship to human perception.
Figure 5: Distance estimates influenced by the route structuring
As the global integration is derived from the mean depth, the mean shortest distance is from a node to every other node in a graph. The notion well conforms to the conclusion in cognitive science that when travelling in an urban environment, the choices of routes reflects the human desire to minimise functional distance (Deutsch and Isard 1961).
Spatial adjacency is a special kind of spatial relationships, and it is a very important feature which is frequently discussed in current GIS. It is mainly dealt with by computational geometry (e.g. Berg et al. 1997), which is regarded as a geometry for GIS. In raster format, to define adjacency, we must specify a or pixels grid, or we have to intentionally set up topological relationships of spatial objects in vector format. As summarised by Gold (1995) that "raster adjacency is based on adjacent regular tiles - usually squares of space; vector adjacency depends on the detection of line intersection in order to form a polygonal graph and it is this graph that forms the conventional GIS ‘topology’".
Space adjacency is a basic rule to form axial maps, i.e. two axial lines intersected are regarded as adjacency. The existence of this adjacency relationship is expressed as an edge of the dual graph. This edge connects two nodes, each node representing a vista space.
Spatial syntax seems to be reasonable in measuring spatial adjacency. Space adjacency can be measured with metric distance, for example by drawing a circle around a point object, or drawing a buffer along a line or polygon object. If a spatial adjacency is modelled metrically, then the trivial distance difference may exclude a site from the neighbourhood. Thus, metric measure is a poor measure for spatial adjacency as shown in figure 6. In terms of metric distance points 1, 2 and 3 are neighbours of the central points. However, when considering connection, point 3 is excluded from its neighbours because of poor connection, while point 5 is included in the neighbours. We believe that the neighbours in the right hand are more realistic. There has been increasing attention to solving spatial adjacency from setting appropriate (topological) data structure (Okaba 1994, Gold 1992).
a: metric space b: topological space
Figure 6: The concept of neighbour in both metric and topological space
Now coming back to space syntax, it is understandable that people living by the dominated street may have relatively bigger neighbourhood feelings and in the opposite way, the people living in less dominated streets may have less neighbourhood feelings. This may be a basic hypothesis which needs to be investigated in the future.
5. Summary and Conclusions
In spite of the fact that spatial cognition is an important aspect of GIS, and that there has increasing research activity in this respect, no satisfying model for the prediction of spatial behaviour has been developed to date. This paper provides such a model that shows that human spatial behaviour in general is predictable in urban environments. Extensive empirical studies have been made over the past decade at Bartlet School of Graduate Studies, of University College London in this field.
Configurational representation of urban systems ( or more generally geographic space) is a sort of representation which differentiates it from other visual representations we are used to. Maps and the like are a kind of metric representation which do not result in more information as far as spatial cognition is concerned, whilst configurational representation based on topological relationships may be more informative in the sense of spatial cognition.
Space syntax provides an alternative way to understanding geographic space. The distinguished property of space syntax is the same as that of naive geography, i.e. treats topological relationships as prior to measurements. As already recognised (Egenhofer and Mark 1995), there is a big gap between what a human user wants to do with a GIS and the spatial concepts offered by the GIS. The space syntax approach introduced here yields an alternative to spatial apprehension, and it can be employed to make predictions of human behaviour. By implementing an extension of space syntax approach, we have successfully brought the approach to GIS users for morphological analysis (Jiang 1998).
Space syntax has proved to be a substantial model for urban studies, but it is not without problem. Amongst others, the following two points are critical. Firstly, the notion of axial lines are quite fuzzy, although we attempt to regard it as the representation of vista space in this paper. Secondly, the generation of axial maps for an urban system is still manual, and there is no efficient automatic way to do it. Although there are some principles to draw axial lines, it is hard to guarantee the consistency of axial maps. For instance, the claim (Hillier and Hanson 1984) that an axial map is the least set of longest axial lines is not proven.

Advocacy for Oromia’s youth service refers is an intensive engagement of young people in organized activity that contributes to the family, local and national community. Our Youth service program called Raabaa program provides programs for young people from 12-25 who are facing difficulties with bullying, violence, family breakdown, poor school attendance, alcohol and other drug use, homelessness or the risk of homelessness and other crises.
The Youth Service tries to assist young people to re-establish family relationships, connect with support services, learn to value themselves and maximise their capabilities in every area of their lives.
Currently, we have Youth Well-being Matters project that aims to assist the youth well-being in doing something with their career that holds true meaning for them, hoping that they will be more satisfied, much more motivated and will be much more likely to succeed. The project will address the considerable number of African youth who are unemployed or not undertaking study and struggling to integrate in Australian multicultural society.
The project proposes to educate African youth about Australian values, rights and responsibilities through seminars, workshops, trips and other activities. The forums will discuss current legal issues affecting the youth and also provide with information on how to access help. The forum will also assist the youth to develop preventative strategy in-order to avoid getting into trouble with the law. This project includes young people accessing appropriate programs in areas such as emotional and physical well-being support and to connect with parents about sexual development and healthy relationships.
Youth Career Program
This program is a youth activity for young people aged 14-25.
Through the program participants will learn about work readiness: carreer planning, resume writing, job interview practices and learning what services are available to them.
The program will be held weekly on Saturday from 4:30 -6pm, beginning August 23.
If you are interested you can register for as many sessions as you like.

|“||Oh, please! I was slumming it. Don't you get it? The only reason I chose you, is because you were the most pathetic bug in the joint.||„|
|~ Bala to Z|
Princess Bala is the deuteragonist of the 1998 DreamWorks/PDI animated film Antz, its 2003 DreamWorks/PDI animated sequel film Antz 2, and the protagonist of the 1999 DreamWorks/PDI animated short film Basic Insect. She is voiced by Sharon Stone in all of her appearances. The daughter of the Ant Queen, and is expected to follow royal responsibilities but wants to be free. When she comes across Z, they don't get along well. As soon as their relationship blossoms, Bala is given the courage to stand up to her evil fiancé General Mandible and help Z save the colony.
Bala was committed to marry General Mandible's of although she thought was a harsh militaristic. She is bored with being a member of the royalty life already often wanted to have fun scammers workers. She sings her song playing with her harp. She decides to go to the bar and dances with Z who instantly falls in love with her.
When a successful lone survivor "soldier" Z is brought before Bala and the queen, Bala recognizes Z as the worker she danced with, unwittingly blowing his cover. After Z was nearly arrested for impersonating a soldier and dancing with General Mandible's fiance, he held Bala captive and escaped through a trash chute. She was nearly rescued by soldier ants but their rescue attempt was interrupted by a boy burning ants with a magnifying glass. She resisted Z but eventually joined his quest to Insectopia after Z was nearly eaten by a Praying Mantis. After Z rescued her from the boy's shoe, she fell in love with him after he reached Insectopia. However while Z was getting fire wood, she was kidnapped by Colonel Cutter and taken back to the Colony. Z follows after them on the back of Chip, the wasp they met earlier who lost his wife, Muffy, to the boy's fly swatter.
Taken into Mandible's office, Bala demands him to tell her what he truly has planned for the colony. When Mandible dismisses her, Bala bravely states to Mandible that she never liked "the way you think, or the way you run this colony, or YOU" and calls off the wedding. Mandible nonetheless explains that he plans to drown every ant in the colony with the MegaTunnel and imprisons her in his office.
As Bala throws a chair out the window to make her own escape, she spots Z right beside the window. Overjoyed that Z had come back for her, Bala pulls Z inside and thanks him for coming back after quieting him the two kiss which he soon returns. Z prepares to take Bala out the colony asking for some fun later, but Bala tells him that they can't leave: when she was brought back to the colony, she discovered that Mandible has sinister ulterior motives, and believes that he will attempt to kill her mother. When examining the schematics of the megatunnel, Z discovers to his horror that Mandible plans to seal the queen and all the worker ants in the tunnel, where they will drown once the diggers break through to the lake where the MegaTunnel leads to.
Z and Bala quickly leave the office and rush down into the MegaTunnel, making it inside just as the soldiers seal up all the exits. While Bala runs to her mother to warn her, Z runs into the tunnel to stop the diggers from breaking through. When he reaches the end, he reunites with Weaver and Azteca and yells at the diggers to stop. Despite Z's warnings, the Foreman is determined to follow orders, and he grabs a pick and strikes it into the wall. It is this final blow which sends the water crashing through, and Z and the others flee into the main tunnel, and the rapidly rising water traps all the workers on a hill in the middle of the tunnel. Spotting several workers helping each other onto a branch, Z gets an idea. As Weaver holds him up on his shoulders, Z yells for everyone to listen. The workers almost immediately recognise Z who quickly tells the workers to make a ladder out of ants to reach the ceiling, and they set to work at once. Bala is forced to seperate from Z in order to help her aged mother, and the two share a loving embrace before Bala climbs up the tower with the queen, while Z remains at the base with Weaver and Azteca to serve as support.
By the time the water is up to their chests, the tower of ants has fully formed, but is a couple of ants short of the ceiling. While Weaver uses all his strength to hold up the tower, Z and Azteca climb up to the top, and Z succeeds in reaching the ceiling, and quickly claws through to the surface where Mandible is giving a speech about his vision to his soldiers. Z's hand breaks through the surface, causing a collapse which forms a huge hole in the ground. Mandible is shocked and furious when he recognises Z, and grabs a spear. Barely clinging to the edge, Z is helpless as Mandible raises his spear to kill him, but is suddenly punched away from him by Cutter, who has grown tired of the general's cruelty. Cutter helps Z up from the hole, but an enraged Mandible snaps and charges at Z, as Z pushes Cutter out the way at the last second. Mandible runs into Z and the two of them fall back into the megatunnel. While Mandible is killed falling on an exposed tree root, Z falls into the water and is knocked unconscious by the impact.
When Cutter arrives with seemingly dead Z, Bala begs for him to awaken. She uses CPR and Z revives! On awakening, Z utters 'yowch', and Bala climes on top of and kisses him passionately. Z is lauded for his heroism and marries Bala. Together they rebuild the colony, transforming the colony from a conformist military state into a community that values each and every one of its members.
- In the original script for Antz, Bala was engaged to an ant named General Formica (whereas Mandible was a major). However unlike Mandible in the final film, Formica would have left Bala to die alongside the Queen and the workers, claiming that there were plenty more princesses where Bala came from.
- In Basic Insect, it is revealed that Bala is shown smoking a cigarette. It is unknown whether or not she is a smoker, or not.
- In the uncut version of Antz, there are some scenes that are not shown in the cut version, one of which shows Bala out in the Wilderness, as she leaps up into the air, and lands onto a purple flower petal to take a rest.
- Bala seems to somehow know CPR as she gave Z mouth to mouth resuscitation.
- He is the fourth main antagonist of a computer-animated Dreamworks film in a row to be the master of his movie's heroes after Tip from Home, Mei Mei from Kung Fu Panda 3, and Poppy from Trolls, DreamWorks' three previous computer-animated films.

One of the nice features in XP SP2 Firewall is that when an application tries to access the network, it opens a dialog asking if the application should be granted network access and remembers the choice user makes. This is great for normal applications. Unfortunately, Java applications all fall under the hosting application name (java.exe and javaw.exe) so network access can not be given to some Java applications and not others.
Unless Java applications start running with Security Manager enabled and the Security Manager is better integrated with the host platform firewall such as XP SP2 Firewall, I fear IT Administrators will start cracking down on Java applications. Until that happens, I think popular Java applications will have to be cocooned inside a thin native application wrapper to give each application a unique process signature.
Note that .NET applications don't have this problem.

Catherine Cortez Masto on Homeland Security
Excerpts from Letter from 53 Senators to President Trump We are deeply troubled that your freeze on the hiring of federal civilian employees will have a negative and disproportionate impact on our nation's veterans. As such, we urge you to take stock of this hiring freeze's effect on our nation's veterans and exempt the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from your Hiring Freeze.
Opposing argument: (Heritage Foundation, "Eliminate Redundant Government Hiring," May 9, 2017): It's not hard to find federal programs that are duplicative or ineffective. The president's executive order requires all agency heads to submit plans for reorganizing their operations. Their proposals are to "include recommendations to eliminate unnecessary agencies and programs." That all sounds great, but what does it actually mean?
Well, for starters, it means the previous federal hiring freeze is no more. But it doesn't mean programs and departments are free to hire willy-nilly. Instead, they've been instructed to follow a smart-hiring plan, consistent with the President's America First Budget Blueprint.
A few agencies, like the Defense Department and Veterans Affairs, will beef up staff. Most, however, will have to pare down employment. All federal employees can expect to see resources shift to higher-priority ones. Many may be asked to do something new or different with the goal of optimizing employees' skills and time.

Yesterday I was working my way through some blog posts I needed to catch up on, and I ran across an intriguing invitation at PositiveWriter.com. It was a writing contest called “Overcoming Writer’s Doubt” and it challenged writers to open up about a moment when they overcame doubt.
But as I filed through my memory bank I struggled to find a story in the past as compelling as the one I’m experiencing in the present.
So, instead of telling you how once-upon-a-time I pushed through my doubts, I’m going reveal the doubts I have today and see if my struggle resonates with yours.
But I am not content to just kvetch. I want to invite you to partner with me in fearlessly pushing through our season of doubt together. You up for it?? If so, here we go…
This past spring I finally completed Easter is Coming, a writing project that was two years in the making. And by “completed” I mean I summoned the courage to release it to the world, regardless of whether I thought it was truly finished or not. It was a big step, and I’m proud of my work and the accomplishment of publishing it.
And here’s the kicker: I got some very positive feedback on that book. Some of the folks who read it offered glowing reviews, excitedly praised my writing, and even expressed thankfulness for it. One reviewer promised to buy the next book I write. (If that isn’t motivation to write another book, I don’t know what is!)
Yet here I sit, frozen by what author and blogger Bryan Hutchison calls “writer’s doubt.”
As I look forward to my next project, my mind and heart are filled with just as many doubts as bright new ideas. And right now, the doubts are eating the bright new ideas for lunch.
Ironically, part of what paralyzes me is the positive response I garnered from my first book. While the response should motivate me to press on, I catch myself thinking I won’t live up to expectations I’ve created. Like a Rookie of the Year winner who inevitably falls into a sophomore slump, I doubt my second project will be as successful as the first.
What about you? Have you been here? Has the success of a project soured into doubt instead of turning into motivation? I’m sure you have and I’m sure it has.
But maybe for you it’s not writing. Maybe it’s a business, a relationship, education, or parenting. Maybe it’s your faith, your family, or your future. Regardless, you’re as stuck as I am, and your doubts are winning the day.
Well friends, I’m offering the remainder of this blog as an attempt to inspire both of us.
I’m a writer. It’s in me. I want to, and I need to, write. So the way I’m going to unfreeze this bout of writer’s doubt is to write. I know. It’s a novel idea, right? (Pun intended.) But seriously. I’m going to do the thing I’m so doubtful about doing.
Easter is Coming was a fun, fulfilling, and well received accomplishment. But instead of letting the positive feedback pour gas on my fire of doubt, I’m going to turn it into fuel for my creative machine. I will thankfully use that completed project as a springboard for the projects to come.
And here’s how I’m going to do it.
I commit to releasing a follow up project this fall called Christmas is Coming – a project that will be similar enough to its predecessor that I can confidently build on what I do well, but different enough to be its own project and accomplishment.
And I commit to writing 2000 words of new material (four 500-word sessions) a week to help hone my craft and to build on the projects I have in mind.
Finally, I commit to using these two commitments as the ax and saw that will cut down this growing writer’s doubt and turn it into the raw materials for building my next book (and the one after that, and the one after that). Writer’s doubt be warned and next book be ready, ‘cause I’m comin’ for ya.
How about you? What do you need to do, and how are you going to do it?
What two commitments are you going to use to chop down your doubt and build what you are called to build?
Leave them in the comments below and let’s do them together.

Just wondering… why does everyone hate lele pon? Just a straight question not implying on anything
(I would move this to off topic )
I really want to know too, as far as I recall she hasn’t done anything harmful, she was just a bit annoying lol
changing to off topic
Ehh no idea maybe because when people think of her they think of sexual clickbait and kingbach
She has done a lot of bad things like deleting Amanda Cerny’s videos. And she doesn’t make good videos
First of all she isn’t for me. Her comedy is for children and her acting isn’t great. But on a different note, she deleted Amanda Cerny’s videos and posted about donating hair to locks of love but in the photo it was her holding her extensions. Not a cool thing to lie about. (You could see the tracks. You can’t donate that so she lied about doing it)
It’s mostly horrible content that annoys the living day lights out of normal people and last year she got caught deleting Amanda Cerny’s popular YouTube videos and Instagram photos. Many other people who have met her have all outlined one thing about Lele and that her fame has gone to her head. She also got caught lying about donating hair extensions to a charity along with Inanna Sarkis and you can could see the tracks that had been sewed into her head in the photo.
She basically puts on Facebook content, I don’t hate her, hate is a pretty strong word. But her content is unoriginal and dry.
Idk I like her, she was the first person I saw on vine besides Cameron Dallas and They inspired me. So i love them
She’s a liar
That was it, I couldn’t remember her name
i think why so many people hate her is because they either don’t like her personality or her sense of humor… or just both.
Probably because she ended up getting very successful off of what some people thought was lazy content. Personally, I don’t know too much about her to make a justified opinion but I know a lot of people think her stuff is pretty dull. I wouldn’t blame you if you were a fan though, because everyone has different tastes
Man, I was going to ask the same question. I dont why the hate
Really? I dont know who is her
Really? That is bad
Yep the same, she was the first viner that I knew
She’s amazing, and Juanpa zurita and cameron dallas they inspire me
To be honest I don’t even know who she is. What vines did she do?

What is Branding?
Branding gives meaning to your company by creating and shaping it in the minds of your consumers. It helps viewers identify your company’s products or services through your specific design and voice.
Weak or strong, every business has a brand. Whether you’re a small mom and pop business or a conglomerate, a strong brand is what makes your business memorable. Brand development is one of the most important journies your company can take. It quite literally defines you.
Oftentimes a brand is formed around a company’s values, culture, and service. From there, a visual brand can be developed to support these points. At Pinckney Marketing, we specialize in creating branding and marketing to make your core values speak to the world around you.
How We Approach Your Branding
We start branding projects by identifying the key benefits that differentiate your company. What makes you stand out from everyone else? Once we learn a bit more about you we do our research. Gathering insights into your industry and competition will help to get a starting point for a successful logo and brand.
After our research is complete, we sketch. A lot. This is one of the most important parts of the branding process as this is where the visual representation of your company is first put to paper. Once the design team comes up with a sufficient amount of logo sketches and line drawings, they will take the good ones to the computer and start creating different logo options.
At this point, they have a pretty good idea of what the visual brand looks like. Then they’re onto the color theory, typography, and sizing.
What Your Logo Should Say.
A complete logo should embody your goals and values while also expressing what exactly your company does. Accompanying all of our logos are visual brand guidelines (to help your brand appear consistent, trustworthy and stable).
Your Graphic Design Needs.
If you’re in need of a design solution, our design team has the capabilities and strategy to get you and your branding going in the right direction. We can also assist with other graphic design needs like ad banners and icon creation.

Anaerobic respiration is much less efficient than aerobic respiration—only 2 ATP are produced for each molecule of glucose. Range of motion ROM —The range of motion of a joint from full extension to full flexion bending measured in degrees like a circle. The heart does its work continuously over an entire lifetime without pause, and thus does "outwork" other muscles.
However, long-term training causes neovascularization within the muscle, increasing the ability to move waste products out of the muscles and maintain contraction.
The seasonality of anaplasmosis is bimodal, with the first peak during June—July and a smaller peak during October, which corresponds to the emergence of the adult stage of I.
Acetaminophen such as Tylenol or ibuprofen such as Advil or Motrin should be used sparingly for relief of discomfort. The size of motor units varies throughout the body, depending on the function of a muscle.
For example, the brachiocephalic artery carries blood into the brachial arm and cephalic head regions. Neuromuscular disease In muscular dystrophythe affected tissues become disorganized and the concentration of dystrophin green is greatly reduced.

Physical exercise Exercise is often recommended as a means of improving motor skillsfitnessmuscle and bone strength, and joint function. Thin filaments are made of three proteins: Normally, sensations of pain and fatigue signal that it is time to rest.
Arterioles, like arteries, are able to use smooth muscle to control their aperture and regulate blood flow and blood pressure. Interruption of brain mechanisms and overly sensitive motor neurons may result from damage to the nerve pathways.
After the onset of the attack, the anesthetic agent should be removed and the patient cooled. Myofibrils are made up of many proteins fibers arranged into repeating subunits called sarcomeres. The subclavian artery runs into the axillary region where it becomes known as the axillary artery.
It results in weakness of muscles, deafness, blindness, arrhythmia and heart failure. Records of previous diagnoses, surgeries, and treatments are reviewed. Make sure the coach provides time out for water breaks. Through this divergence of the Z-discSteimetz et al.
Blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and liquid plasma. Once moved out of muscles with high concentrations within the sarcomere, lactic acid can be used by other muscles or body tissues as a source of energy, or transported to the liver where it is converted back to pyruvate.
Skeletal Muscle Skeletal muscle is the only voluntary muscle tissue in the human body—it is controlled consciously. Cutaneous necrosis and gangrene Figure 23 might result in amputation of digits or limbs No specific treatment is available, and persons affected are usually required to restrict exertion to tolerable limits.
Platelets normally remain inactive in the blood until they reach damaged tissue or leak out of the blood vessels through a wound. A thorough recreational and occupational history can help reveal potential exposures to tick habitats.

Chromosome 8, Monosomy 8p is a. General Discussion Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is an inflammatory neurological disorder, often identifiable as paraneoplastic. It is characterized by associated ocular, motor, behavioral, sleep, and language disturbances. Atrophic fibers lose their volume (and cross-sectional area) but keep their nuclei.
If surrounding fibers are more normal, atrophic fibers (individually or in small groups) will appear angulated due to compression.A description of a group of muscle diseases

I'm trying to integrate an A/B testing tool, VWO (https://www.vwo.com) with my Adobe Analytics set up but I'm having problems.
I'm doing an A/A test where 50% of users see the control version and 50% of users see variation 1. This test is being carried out for all devices on my homepage.
I have an Adobe Analytics Workspace report to show the number of Unique Visitors who see Control and Variation 1. I'm using eVar101 for this. I have used a segment on this report to show only Unique Visitors who visited the homepage (Page Name = ES:SPA:Homepage). The problem I have is that there is a large number of Unique Visitors where eVar101 is set to 'Unspecified' and I don't understand why. Surely, if anyone visits the page, they should see the test and have eVar101 set to either Control or Variation 1?
I'm firing a second server call (Custom Link) on every page load of the page where the test is running. This server call doesn't fire on any other page. There's a screenshot below taken from the Adobe Analytics Debugger Chrome plugin.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can try to get this working?
So when I visit your home page, I get one server call (hit) where Page Name = ES:SPA:Homepage and eVar 101 is not set. Then I get another one (your custom link one) where Page Name = ES:SPA:Homepage and eVar 101 is set to (let's say) Control.
Therefore I, as a unique visitor, have seen a hit with Page Name = ES:SPA:Homepage and eVar 101 is Control, and a hit where Page Name = ES:SPA:Homepage and eVar 101 is unspecified.
So in your table above, I would be in both the Unspecified and Control rows. Do you see how the unique visitors for Unspecified, Control and Same as Control add up to more than the total number of Unique Visitors?
You could either try to have your A/B tool fire before analytics, feed analytics the experience variable, and only fire one tracking call. Or you could filter your report for eVar 101 is not unspecified.
So following your logic, if I use another eVar and set it only with the custom link server call and not the first server call for say, ’VWO Page Name’ and use that in my report for the segment instead of Page Name, that should work, right?
Are you saying that when someone loads the home page they get one analytics server call, and then your second custom link one? So every time a user goes to the home page they get two analytics server calls?

Weird Horse Oddly Silent on Luck CancellationTwitter
We’re not sure what we expected Weird Horse, Twitter’s leading demented philosopher-steed, to say about the unexpected cancellation of Luck precipitated by the unfortunate deaths of three of his equine brethren, but we were vaguely hoping for some kind of spiritual guidance during this difficult time. Yes, he’s generally opaque in his musings, leaving us to interpret his intent like a pile of steaming entrails before a cataract-blinded oracle, so we could conceivably take last night’s “Staring off into space, neighing” as a melancholy contemplation of those three unfortunate horses’ sacrifice to Art, and “Just spat a gobstopper at a goose” as a mourning-fueled displacement of existential rage. But it’s impossible to know whether he’s in deep denial or whether Baffled Farmer hasn’t even told him the news yet, so let’s instead choose to meditate upon “trot that trot” as sage encouragement to slowly and mindfully gallop on in the face of tragedy, taking our comfort where we can get it.
Thanks for the perspective, you magnificent, deranged beast.
