|Title:||Aloha as fearlessness : lessons from the mo'olelo of eight native Hawaiian female educational leaders on transforming the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa into a Hawaiian place of learning|
|Authors:||Lipe, Kaiwipuni K. N. P. M. D.|
|Date Issued:||Aug 2014|
|Publisher:||[Honolulu] : [University of Hawaii at Manoa], [August 2014]|
|Abstract:||Part of the strategic goal number one of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (UHM) is to "promote a Hawaiian place of learning." However, UHM is a predominantly non-Hawaiian university by every definition, thus the culture and environment of the institution make it difficult to implement the strategic goal. Further, current Western frameworks and theories on institutional transformation typically do not acknowledge the existence and experiences of Indigenous Peoples and Native Hawaiians in particular.|
Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore how Native Hawaiian remembrance, knowledge, experiences, practices, and value systems provide insight into how to transform UHM into a Hawaiian place of learning. I began this dissertation by posing the question: How can the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, a predominantly non-Hawaiian university, transform into a Hawaiian place of learning? Two additional sub-questions included: What are the relationships between Native Hawaiian values and Western higher education values that support and/or inhibit the transformation of UHM into a Hawaiian place of learning? How might UHM utilize these lessons learned to build its capacity to transform into a Hawaiian place of learning?
In order to explore these questions, I learned from the individual and collective mo'olelo--as interconnected stories and life experiences--of eight Native Hawaiian female educators who have been pioneers over the last 30 years in transforming spaces into Hawaiian places of learning. In addition, I learned from artifacts and archival documents related to UHM that helped to tell the institution's story.
My findings are presented in two emerging frameworks, namely the 'A'ali'i Kū Makani and Hō'ālani frameworks. The 'A'ali'i Kū Makani framework directs our attention to the cyclical nature of transformative processes as well as to the varied conditions in which these processes occur within the Indigenous and Native Hawaiian contexts. The Hō'ālani framework provides a holistic model for individuals to become grounded and engaged in core Hawaiian values, concepts, and processes by which they can become empowered and fearless to fulfill their kuleana--as responsibilities and privileges--to Hawaiʻi and her people. The frameworks, then, become guides for institutional practices, leadership, and policy.

“So, what happened?” I greet Paris eagerly when I get home from work the next day. The reporters have given up on us, so I don’t have to dodge them any more. A pity, really. I had come up with some pretty creative ways to evade them, and I rather enjoyed myself doing so. “Did Inspector Robinson royally ream Max out for withholding information?” I guiltily admit to myself that I am looking forward to hearing the gory details about the dressing down of Max.
“She was pretty pissed,” Paris admits. “She got that look in her eye, you know the one that says, ‘I’m disgusted with you.’ I think she cultivated it on purpose to make people talk.” I know the look he is referring to, and it certainly works on me. “Her voice got really low.” Here, he imitates Inspector Robinson. “Ms. Bowers. This is a murder investigation. That means we investigate. In order to do so, we need information. I should think you of all people would want us to be successful.” He reverts to his normal voice. “If she looked at me the way she looked at Max, I would have spilled the beans for sure.”
“Did you get to sit in on the interrogation?” I doubt the inspector would allow that, but I can always hope.
“No. After Max blurted out the thing about someone coming out of Moira’s room, the inspector took her away. I had to wait nearly an hour for her. I took Max to a diner after so we could talk about it.”
They both ordered coffee as it was between mealtimes. The whole time Paris was talking to Max, he had the feeling that something else was going on. There was a subtext that he wasn’t getting, but he didn’t like it whatever it was. Max would say something, then pause and look at Paris significantly, but he didn’t know why. It pisses me off that Max is playing such games with Paris because I hate seeing him upset. After an inordinate amount of lead-in time, Max finally got to the meat of the interrogation. She told the inspector everything she had told Paris, and Inspector Robinson got excited and rushed away, most likely to have another chat with Ms. Fullerton. As Paris is talking, he’s walks into the kitchen to make himself a hero sandwich. I must look woebegone enough because he offers to make one for me as well. I accept with alacrity. In college, Paris was famous for his hoagie sandwiches.
I watch, mouth watering, as Paris slathers zesty honey mustard onto a hoagie bun. He starts piling fixings and trimmings as if there is no end to his hunger. He tells me that the inspector let slip that Moira was gagged after she was killed. Paris doesn’t know the significance of this, but I make a guess. I think it means that she was a willing participant in the bondage game because she would have been screaming her head off if someone had tied her up against her will. By this time, Paris is done building up the hoagie. He cuts it in two, plates it and hands it to me. I happily start munching as he prepares another one. As Paris makes a sandwich for himself, he points out that if Moira was drugged, she wouldn’t have made noise. I protest that drugging her didn’t make as much sense as her playing games with someone she trusted, someone who quickly shot, then gagged her.
“Why would someone gag her after?” Paris protests, cutting his own sandwich in half. He pours us each a coke. We set our sandwiches on plates and take our food to the living room which is where we do most of our eating. I don’t know why we even bother having a table in the kitchen as we rarely eat there. We are silent for a few minutes as we make serious dents in our food.
After we have adequately slaked our appetites, we start tossing out possibilities. I suggest that maybe a lover wanted to make it seem as if it were a nonconsensual scene, but that contradicts my earlier surmising that Moira wouldn’t stand to let a stranger tie her up. I chase it around in my brain for a few minutes and can tell that Paris is doing the same. After thinking about it, Paris offers that perhaps it’s a trick, a red herring. Maybe the killer wants the cops to think it’s supposed to be a lover making it look like an outsider when really, there is no reason for the gag. I call him Machiavellian, but not without admiration. It never ceases to amaze me how someone who looks as innocent as does Paris can think of such devious things. I concede his point which causes his jaw to drop. Fortunately, he isn’t eating. I stick my tongue out at him for pointing out how much I hate to admit I’m not one-hundred percent right. We hash out the gag information, but come up with nothing.
“There is one other thing Max told me,” Paris says slowly. He looks as if he doesn’t want to spill it, but I know he will. Paris can’t keep anything to himself without exploding.
“The inspector found half a dozen cigarettes shoved up Moira’s vagina, the lighted ends inside. Some kind of Camel. They were just a pile of ashes in there. This was done after she was dead.” Paris’s mouth is puckered up as if he’s eaten a lemon. I set down my sandwich, no longer hungry. Even though Moira hadn’t had to suffer the physical pain of such a heinous action, there’s the indignity of it. The hatred that her killer must have felt for her to do such a cruel thing. I push my sandwich away, saddened by my connection to mankind. “Was she raped?” I whisper, not really wanting to know the answer.
“They found her secretions on her genitalia, but no semen,” Paris reports. I exhale loudly. I don’t know why I am so comforted that Moira had been spared that horror when she ended up losing her life, but I am.
I ask how Max seemed while telling Paris the information, no longer wanting to be Sharon McCone, but pressing on, anyway. Max didn’t show much emotion according to Paris, but he generously ascribes her numbness to information overload. She told Paris that the inspector had been watching her carefully during the entire interview, but we both know Max has a need to dramatize situations to make herself seem more important. I still don’t trust Max’s motive for dragging Paris further into this thing, but I know better than to voice my concerns. Neither of us eat any more of our sandwiches, our appetites thoroughly dampened from talking over the gristly details of the case. I don’t know how homicide dicks can do it—how they can have any semblance of a normal life when they have to see the worst of what humanity has to offer. I know that gallows humor helps, but it can’t completely keep the nightmares at bay. I guess that’s where alcohol and drugs come in—anything to anesthetize the pain.
“Shit, I gotta roll.” Paris glances at the clock hanging on the wall across from the couch. “I have to be at work in half an hour.” I wave at him distractedly as I take our plates to the kitchen. As I run soapy water over them, I let my mind drift. Bits and pieces of information flutter in and out of my mind, but I come up with no new ideas. I remember how furtive Vashti had looked when being questioned about the murder and decide to call her. She picks up on the second ring.
“Hello?” The cadence of her voice always puts me in a sexy mood. She could be reading from the phone directory, and it would get me wet. I push those risqué thoughts to the back of my mind as I am calling her for business purposes.
“Vashti? It’s Rayne. I was wondering if you had time to talk about Max and Moira?” I cross my fingers, hoping I’ve caught her at a good time.
She agrees to talk after she puts something away in the refrigerator; I am delirious with wanting. Every time she speaks, I have to fight the desire to fall into her words and never come out. Sometimes it’s difficult for me to concentrate on what she’s saying because of her voice. I imagine her as a phone-sex operator; she’d be fantastic at it. When she resumes talking, she reiterates that she doesn’t have more to say. Her tone is still pleasant, but firm. I can’t believe she doesn’t know more than she’s telling and try to think of a way to make her talk. I tell her it’s her duty, and she says it’s up to the police. I ask if she doesn’t feel an obligation towards Max, and she says no. Just as I’m running out of ideas, she finally agrees to come over so we can talk in person. As soon as we hang up, I race to the bathroom to take a quick shower. By the time she arrives, I am in clean jeans and a tight, low-cut cerise blouse. I usher her into the living room and soon, we’re sitting on the couch sipping herbal tea.
I look at her in pleasure, noting how her luxuriant hair is wound atop her head, how her right nostril is delicately pierced, how her generous breasts strain against her blouse. I patiently wait for her to speak as she struggles with whether to tell me what she knows. I want to push her, but I know that it would only make her clam up. She finally tells me that it’s Dylan’s story, then wrestles with her conscience once more about whether to spill the beans. She asks me if I’ve met the beautiful Moira, knowing full-well I have, and there is a hunger in her voice which I have never heard before. So. Even the unflappable Vashti had been swayed by Moira. I tuck that away to mull on later as I tell her that I met Moira at the party the night she was killed and thought she looked familiar. I still can’t place where I had met Moira before, and it’s starting to bother me.
Vashti begins to speak. Moira loved a party and was in her element when she had her adoring fans around her. Vashti’s voice takes on a sing-song quality as she relates her story. Moira went to sex clubs, but they soon began to bore her. Most of them had an S&M flavor to them which did not appeal to Moira at all. At least, that’s what she told Vashti which is why Vashti refuses to believe that Moira allowed herself to be tied up voluntarily. I remain silent, unsure if I should tell her the latest news. After all, Inspector Robinson told Max who told Paris who told me, so it’s not as if the police are keeping it a secret. I decide to sit on it for the moment, however, and focus on Vashti’s story. She tells me how when Dylan first moved to San Francisco, she made the cardinal sin of visiting the Lexington, a famous dyke bar in the Mission District. The only redeeming quality about that hick place is the really hot bartender.
Dylan quickly grew bored, even though it was Halloween night. She hadn’t dressed for the event, and the only eye-catching costumes were worn by a couple. One was a dominatrix, and she was holding a leash attached to the collar of the other, her slave. The slave girl was wearing a t-shirt with a hole exposing her right breast. It was the first time Dylan had seen a girl’s naked breast before not in a gym situation, and she wasn’t able to take her eyes off the slave girl whose hands were cuffed in front of her. Other girls kept going over to the couple and patting the slave on the head or caressing her bare breast. Dylan decided to follow suit, so she went over and patted the girl on the head. Vashti continues…
“Hey, Sugar. I’ve never seen you here before.” The dominatrix cracked her whip on the slave girl’s ass while slanting her eyes to Dylan. Once Dylan was able to tear her eyes off the slave girl’s perfect breast, she noticed that the dominatrix was breathtaking. She was wearing a black leather corset which allowed her breasts to swell over the cups. She had on fish-net stockings and thigh-high black vinyl boots with three-inch platform heels. She’s wearing a black captain’s hat at a rakish angle over fluffy blond curls. Over the whole ensemble she had thrown a thick, fake-fur cape. She was sporting a whip in one hand and the leash in the other.
“I just moved to town from Minnesota,” Dylan stuttered, unable to believe that she was talking to an actual dominatrix.
“The Midwest, huh?” The dominatrix ran her tongue over her blood-red lips as she gazed thoughtfully at Dylan. Suddenly, she yanked on the chain, nearly toppling the slave girl who looked absolutely adorable with her butch haircut, ripped white t-shirt and blue jeans. She was wearing clunky black boots. It upset Dylan’s notions of butch and femme to see the power exchange of this couple. “Pet, say hello to our Midwest girl.” Immediately, the slave girl dropped to her knee and pressed her lips to Dylan’s sneaker. When Dylan didn’t move, the slave girl started kissing her way up Dylan’s calf over her jeans. “Would you like the use of my pet for the night?” The dominatrix hadn’t taken her eyes off Dylan the entire time. Dylan could only nod dumbly as the dom transferred the leash to Dylan…
“Moira dressed up as a dom for Halloween?” I am incredulous given what Vashti told me earlier about Moira’s reluctance to be bound.
“She liked being in control.” Vashti correctly interprets my look. “She is the one doing the tying, not the one being tied down. I am not believing that she willingly allowed someone to tie her to her bed.”
“Halloween! Last year!” I snap my fingers. Vashti’s story has triggered a memory of my own. “That’s where I know her from.” I stop, blushing as the full memory flowers in my mind. Vashti looks at me with interest as my cheeks flush red. I don’t blush easily but when I do, I am helpless to stop it.
“It is your turn to tell a story,” Vashti says softly with a touch of malice. I shoot her a nasty look, but she ignores it.
“It’s nothing much,” I say haltingly. In fact, it’s a memory that I’d rather forget. “Really.” I smile my best smile, but Vashti is not buying it. She glares at me until I relent…
Paris and I went to a costume party in Noe Valley. I hadn’t wanted to go, but got tricked into it by Paris who first stated that he wanted to go to the Castro for Halloween, which I flat-out refused to do. He knew how much I detested big, flaming events like Halloween in the Castro and only mentioned it to soften me up for the party in Noe Valley, which was where he really wanted to be. Like an idiot, I fell for it. Even though I know the way Paris’s mind works, I fall for his manipulations every time. Even the protest that I didn’t have a costume didn’t deter him as he had already picked one out for me as well as for himself. In fact, he had foreseen every obstacle before bringing up the Castro, thereby insuring the party as a fait accompli before he even opened his mouth. When I discovered what he was up to, I slapped him a good one upside the head and extracted the promise of breakfast in bed every weekend for a month in exchange. I still felt as if he hoodwinked me, but I wasn’t as bitter about it after he promised me the breakfasts.
That is, until I saw the costume he had picked out for me. He could have picked Xena or Buffy or someone like that, but whom did my boy pick? Let me give you a hint. Think red satin halter top, wide gold satin belt, blue satin panties with white stars on it, and a gold lasso. Think golden tiara with a red star right in the middle as well as two gold bracelets. Yes, my boy chose fucking Wonder Woman with an outfit that would make a hooker blush. We had a fierce argument about that because I most emphatically did not want to be the Amazon princes with her cups running over, even if I did have the knee-high red boots to match the costume. Furthermore, I gave Paris the fish-eye for even thinking of me in such a way, but he protested that it was either Wonder Woman or Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, and her damn dog, Toto, too. In the middle of our huge scene, he implored me just to try it, so I reluctantly did.
Unfortunately, it fit perfectly as long as I sucked in my stomach and didn’t move too quickly. I didn’t like the way my body curved in the outfit, but at least I had enough chest to fill the top. The discreet yin-yang tattoo I have over my right breast peeked out from beneath the red satin. Fortunately, the ankh on my ass was fully covered—at least as far as I could tell. My belly button ring was covered, but poked out slightly from behind the tight material. The costume molded to my body as if it were made for me. My breasts bulged out as they were supposed to. After I was done donning the costume and the accoutrements, I looked startlingly like Wonder Woman except my hair was shorter and I was Asian. I fiddled with my hair to see if I can make it a little fluffier, but it stayed where it was. The price I paid for thick, glossy hair.
Paris loved the outfit. In fact, he loved it so much, we almost didn’t make it out of the apartment. He was in between partners at the time and hadn’t had sex for two weeks. For him, that’s a long time, and I did look pretty damn hot, if I did say so myself. I went into my bedroom to get my boots—knee-high, red, vinyl boots—and pulled them on. While I was in the bedroom, I slapped on some makeup, then went out to the living room to wait for Paris. When he came out of his room, I nearly busted a gut laughing because he was going as Flash Gordon. Now, Flash Gordon was a great character, but Paris didn’t remind me of him in the least. If I remembered correctly, Flash had a thing for Wonder Woman. Maybe there was significance to the outfits, after all. We drove to the party. I was conscious of every extra ounce of fat around my waist as my outfit clung to my body. My tits were jiggling and my ass was bouncing as we were ushered into the party. The guy at the door couldn’t take his eyes off me. Since he was wearing a ninja outfit that covered his face, I couldn’t tell if he was cute or not…

YourVolume is here to help provide you with tools to help your music discovery and music organization.
At the time of writing this, YourVolume focuses on Spotify, providing you with a weekly curated playlist based on your listening habits.
Album Discovery: Call it being a product of the late 80s, but I can’t help but feel that MP3s killed the album. This sentiment brings me back to browsing an FYE store and leaving with 2-4 records to bring home, and binge-listen. And then repeat the following week. Album Discovery brings the ‘full album listening habit’ back to your ears. Using the Spotify API, you will get a new playlist containing 4-7 albums you’d likely have never listened to but would thoroughly enjoy. These albums are intended not to be top chart albums, so you’re bound to find some great new songs.
The plan is to build out more features and tools to YourVolume.

On Saturday morning, with absolutely no advance fanfare, or even explanation, Louis C.K. released Horace and Pete, a 67-minute filmed play with a cast that included himself, Steve Buscemi, Alan Alda, Edie Falco, and Jessica Lange. It was an achievement as impressive for the surprise of it, and the lack of detail, as for the quality of the performances by Alda and everyone else. C.K. didn’t even offer a clue about when, or if, there might be more installments.
That changed today, when he sent out a message to fans on the LouisCK.net mailing list, which finally offered a bit of insight about the design behind the series and plans for its future.
About the surprise release, for instance, he explained, “As a TV watcher I”m always delighted when I can see a thing without knowing anything about it because of the promotion. So making this show and just posting it out of the blue gave me the rare opportunity to give you that experience of discovery.”
He also noted that the filming style allows the episodes to be produced very close to when they’re released (the next one, which he’s shooting now, will be available on Saturday), but spent most of his time responding to the same question I saw a lot of in the comments: why did this cost $5, when most TV episodes cost much less to download?
Here’s the bulk of his explanation:
Okay so let”s talk for a minute about the five dollars of it all. If you”re on this email list then you”re probably aware that I always make an effort to make the work I do on my own as cheap as possible and as painless as possible to get. That”s why my specials are five dollars and that”s why I sold tickets to my last big tour here on the site, with our own ticketing service at a flat price with no ticket charges and we have worked hard to keep my tickets out of the hands of scalpers.
So why the dirty fuckballs did I charge you five dollars for Horace and Pete, where most TV shows you buy online are 3 dollars or less? Well, the dirty unmovable fact is that this show is fucking expensive.
The standup specials are much more containable. It”s one guy on a stage in a theater and in most cases, the cost of the tickets that the live audience paid, was enough to finance the filming.
But Horace and Pete is a full on TV production with four broadcast cameras, two beautiful sets and a state of the art control room and a very talented and skilled crew and a hall-of-fame cast. Every second the cameras are rolling, money is shooting out of my asshole like your mother”s worst diarrhea. (Yes there are less upsetting metaphors I could be using but I just think that one is the sharpest and most concise). Basically this is a hand-made, one guy paid for it version of a thing that is usually made by a giant corporation.
Now, I”m not complaining about this at all. I”m just telling you the facts. I charged five dollars because I need to recoup some of the cost in order for us to stay in production.
Also, it”s interesting. The value of any set amount of money is mercurial (I”m showing off because i just learned that word. It means it changes and shifts a lot). Some people say “Five dollars is a cup of coffee”. Some people say “Hey! Five dollars?? What the fuck!” Some people say “What are you guys talking about?” Some people say “Nothing. don”t enter a conversation in the middle”.
Anyway, I”m leaving the first episode at 5 dollars. I’m lowering the next episode to 2 dollars and the rest will be 3 dollars after that. I hope you feel that”s fair. If you don”t, please tell everyone in the world.
And that’s that. We know that a new episode is coming on Saturday, and more down the road, but we don’t know how much. C.K. promised to tell us more eventually, “But for now I want to shut up and not ruin the experience of you just watching the show.”

Courgette and Potato Cakes with Mint and Feta Cheese
These quite brilliant little courgette cakes used to have to be fried.
However, we then tried baking them in the oven, which worked a treat, making them particularly ideal to serve as part of a buffet party. To serve 12, just double the quantities.
This recipe is from Delia's Vegetarian Collection. Serves 6
First you need to grate the courgettes coarsely – a food processor is good for this – and put them into a colander.
Then sprinkle them with 2 level teaspoons of salt to draw out some of their excess moisture and leave them to drain for about an hour, with a plate or bowl underneath to catch the juices.
Meanwhile, scrub the potatoes and place them in a very large saucepan, with a little salt. Pour just enough boiling water over them to cover them, then simmer gently with a lid on for 8 minutes to parboil them. After that, drain them and leave them aside until they’re cool enough to handle. Then peel them and, using the coarse side of a grater, grate them into a large bowl and season with more salt and some freshly milled black pepper.
When the hour is up, rinse the courgettes under cold, running water, squeeze out as much moisture as possible with your hands, then spread them out on a clean tea cloth and roll it up to wring out every last drop – this is very important, so the cakes are not wet.
Now, add the courgettes to the grated potatoes, along with the spring onions, mint, feta and beaten eggs and, using two forks, lightly toss it all together. Next, divide the mixture into 8 and shape into rounds about ½ inch (1 cm) thick, pressing them firmly together to form little cakes. They don’t have to be very neat – it’s nice to have a few jagged edges. Then lightly dust the cakes with the flour.
To cook them, first pre-heat the oven to gas mark 7, 425°F (220°C) and also pre-heat the baking trays.
Meanwhile, melt the butter and oil in a small saucepan, then brush the cakes on both sides with it. When the oven is up to heat, place the cakes on the trays, returning one to the top shelf and the other to the middle shelf for 15 minutes. After that, carefully turn the cakes over, using a palette knife and a fork, swap the positions of the trays in the oven and cook them for a further 10-15 minutes.

Tutorial

I have a friend who is foreign born and her English is good but she needs to improve her reading and writing skills. It is jeopardizing her job situation because she can't read/write emails very well. I want to suggest some books for her to read that will help her improve her skills. However, she is very religious, and would only be interested in reading Bible-related books.
She reads from the King James Bible every day for ~30 mins, but it is in old english, and I am not sure that she understands what she is reading. But she reads it religiously. Is there a more modern Bible-related book that I can suggest for her? Something that would help her understand modern grammar and sentence structure would be best, especially for improving her written communication in daily life.
Any help would be great!

This ⅝" clamping hub is built to work with our ⅝" aluminum tubing. The dual pinch bolts and large contact area provide an excellent hold on the tube without marring or deforming it. The 6-32 holes allow you to fasten an Actobotics component which has the matching 0.77" pattern (thru-holes) onto the face of the hub. Please note that most Actobotics components have a ½" center hole so if you mount an item, such as a gear, onto this hub, the tube that the hub is mounted on will be restricted from being able to slide through the gear.

National Football Stadium will cost €115m instead of the planned €75m
The national football stadium’s price tag could come to €115m instead of the planned €75m. Strabag, which supplied the construction work, is demanding €30m over the initial budget of €50m to cover extra work. The stadium’s security and other equipment is €10m over budget. The stadium was built by Ivan Kmotrík and the state promised to either provide a €27m subsidy or purchase it for €75m. The extra money would have to be approved by the government, which seems unlikely ahead of the March 2020 general election.

A Way Beyond Fashion analyzes the shifting boundaries between style and fashion design. Fashion Beat must pleasantly execute them and the styling of the pieces is an understatement. Have you ever seen someone wearing clothes that are very smart and very nice, but the person is just not pulling them off? They’re evidence that even a great wardrobe does not equal great style. And that lack of a few simple essentials will sabotage any look. Follow a few basic guidelines to avoid this problem
This has got to be the number one means to make or break a look. Nobody looks good with straggly, greasy hair, chewed up fingernails, gross skin, unplucked eyebrows, and leg stubble. Take care of your skin. Take care of your hair. Take care of your cleanliness. Take care of your nails. In short, take care of yourself in all aspects.
Nice clothes don’t mean expensive clothes. Style is priceless, but doesn’t have to be high-priced. Take care of your clothes, as you should present yourself in a pleasant way. USE AN IRON. An iron is always your friend. More importantly, it is your clothing’s companion. Love your iron. It loves you too!
Please, do not do accessory too much. No one likes wearing huge hoope earrings, a beaded fringe necklace, a lariat, bangle bracelets, and those gross little butterfly hair clips. ALL IN ONE OUTFIT. Words can not describe how wrong this is, so know about it by yourself.
Find What Works
Don’t trust mirrors. Pictures are much better indicators of how you appear. So find a really good picture of yourself, one you actually like. Why do you like it? Think of what is pleasing you, whether it’s the color red, a great hairstyle, good lighting, or falling in love. And put together the most of it with every outfit.

So, like, what is this stuff, anyway?
I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than most people).

Does your tax preparer work with you to reduce your tax liability? Or do they just fill out the forms and tell you how much you owe? We can work with you throughout the year to anticipate what your situation will be at tax time. Wouldn't it be nice to know several months ahead if you need to invest in equipment or a retirement plan to avoid paying more taxes?
That is what our "Quarterly Review" is for. It also gives us the opportunity to review your accounting entries to see if any corrections need to be made. Sometimes one incorrect entry can really affect you P&L. An incorrect P&L can result in an incorrect tax return.
Whether you need individual or company tax returns, we can help. We work with a variety of businesses and individuals: Doctors, Lawyers, Construction, Retail, Service, Non-Profit and many others to handle their tax needs. We can handle e-filing for current years. If you have past due returns, we can help you resolve those issues.
Our goal is to be your small business advisor and contribute to your increased profitability.

Yes, Virginia, there is a small business Santa Claus. “Santa” comes in the form of customers with money burning a hole in their pockets. They have funds they want to, or need to, spend before midnight December 31. These customers are ripe for the picking, so hurry and make those all-important, highly lucrative, sales calls you can only make at the end of the year.
What kind of customers are so eager to spend their money now? Surprisingly, quite a few. If your small business sells primarily in the B2B (business-to-business) space, these next few weeks can be a great time to increase your coffers.
Here’s something many small business owners overlook: many business customers and clients have funds they want to — or need to — spend before the end of the year. That money could end up in your cash register.
What type of business customers are eager to spend money now? Those who have:
- “Use it or lose it” budgets – Large corporations, government agencies, educational institutions, or non-profit organizations often have budgets they must use before year end. In some large organizations, if they don’t spend all their allocated dollars this year, their budget next year may actually be cut. No one wants that.
- “Lower my taxes” approach – “Accelerate expenses, delay income” is a basic tenet of year-end tax planning. Many small businesses and sole proprietors who’ve had a profitable year are willing to make useful purchases right now to lower their 2016 taxes.
- Co-op dollars – Some businesses—retailers, resellers, equipment installers, and any company that sells products manufactured by others—can receive “co-op” money to use for cooperative advertising or promotions. This money, too, often disappears if they don’t spend it within the calendar year. Especially if your business is in the marketing space—advertising, promotions, public relations—you may be able to get a piece of this.
All of this means you’ve got some highly motivated prospects out there. But those opportunities disappear on January 1. In fact, you’ll have to act sooner than that. With many people leaving their offices the last week or two of the year, you need to act now.
- Make a list – Identify which past customers are most likely to have budgets or co-op dollars they must use by the end of the year. Focus your efforts on those customers. What have they bought from you in the past? What might they need now? Do a bit of legwork before you contact prospects.
- Visit customers in person – The holidays give you a perfect excuse to drop in on your customers. Bring them a present—it doesn’t have to be anything expensive. You can’t really go wrong with a box of chocolates or even a Starbucks gift card. While you’re there, ask whether they have any budget dollars they need to spend before year’s end. Tell them you can help them out.
- Call – You’ve also got a reason to pick up the phone and call clients: to wish them happy holidays. After chatting with them about their holiday plans, bring the conversation around to what they need to buy before December 31.
- Email – If you have a large number of customers in this spend-it-or-lose-it category, craft an email and send it out. Offer special end-of-year discounts to motivate them. Follow up with a phone call.
- Suggest they use “co-op” funds – Remind customers they may have dollars available from vendors. Co-op funds can usually be used in many ways, not just for placing ads. Suggest your customers buy your products as promotional giveaways, just as long as you can add the vendor’s name (think of placing stickers on the product or adding a letter in the package).
- Keep track of what worked this year – If the end of the year crept up on you, don’t panic. Create an end-of-year customer segment for your email newsletter, CRM, or whatever other method you use for customer engagement, and take notes so you’re not scrambling around this time of year in 2017. And ask customers when their fiscal year ends. That’s always a lucrative time to make sales.

BIRTHDAY MUSINGS: A GRATEFUL HEART
Life is precious and special, it is a great gift, meant to be lived to the fullest, and shared with the people close to us and with the world. Today I celebrate life, today I celebrate love of family and friends, today I celebrate that special gift of life. MY BIRTHDAY.
My heart is full of profound joy and happiness as I give thanks to God almighty for the gift of life and for this special and wonderful opportunity to celebrate this special day of my birth. He is the one who grants health and well-being and the wisdom to navigate this tricky world. He is the one who has sustained me all these years, and I’m grateful.
I’m glad that the weather today has been lovely, warm and sunny and I have managed to make the best use of it. I’ve done two things that I love doing the most; a couple of visits to my favorite charity and care homes, and a visit to the mall for shopping. These activities gladden my heart and I’m grateful to be able to undertake them.
My gratitude goes too, to my friends and family and to all whose path has crossed mine. Those who have supported me in one way or another and those who support me still in my endeavors, not forgetting those who have made me stronger because they said ‘no’, those who made me do it myself.
As we go through life, we encounter different people, some leave us with great memories that put a smile on our faces when we remember them, others leave us with bitter experiences, but all these contribute to our growth and make us stronger and even better. I’m thankful for who I have become and grateful to all who made it possible.
I’d like to thank especially the more than 2000 followers and readers on my blog for journeying with me and for the great contributions you make to my blog, I sincerely appreciate. May we continue this wonderful journey together and may we grow from strength to strength.
Thank you all once again and may this joy I feel be felt by you on your special day!

Top-ranked flyweight Joseph Benavidez takes on third-ranked Deiveson Figueiredo for the vacant title in the main event of UFC Fight Night 169 on Saturday. The 12-bout UFC stop take place at Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Va., the promotion’s second visit to the venue. The main UFC Fight Night 169 card is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET and will mark the third title shot for Benavidez (28-5), who lost twice to former longtime champion Demetrious Johnson.
He heads into the bout on a three-fight win streak with two finishes. Figueiredo (17-1) is 6-1 in seven fights with the UFC. He suffered his first loss with the promotion in March of last year, but rebounded with consecutive victories. Benavidez is a -150 favorite (risk $150 to win $100), while Figueiredo is a +130 underdog in the latest Benavidez vs. Figueiredo odds. In the co-main event, Felicia Spencer (-800) meets Zarah Fairn dos Santos (+550) in a women’s featherweight fight. Before making any UFC Fight Night 169 predicitions of your own, make sure you hear what SportsLine MMA expert Kyle Marley has to say.
Marley won the first-ever “ToutMaster” UFC betting contest sponsored by MMAOddsBreaker and also appears regularly on multiple MMA betting and DFS shows. Over the past year, $100 bettors who have followed Marley’s picks are up nearly $18,000.
Just last week at UFC Fight Night 168, Marley told SportsLine members to support hometown favorite Dan Hooker (-150) against Paul Felder (+130) in a matchup of rugged ranked lightweights in the main event. He reasoned that Hooker’s slight edge in overall skill would be the difference, and a fifth-round takedown likely gave the New Zealander the edge in a split-decision victory. Anyone who has consistently followed Marley is way up.
Now, with UFC Fight Night 169 fast approaching, Marley has carefully studied every matchup on the card, identified the best value in the UFC odds and released his MMA picks for every single fight. He’s only sharing those selections here.
Benavidez vs. Figueiredo preview
Marley knows both fighters will be eager to take advantage of an opportunity that they likely didn’t believe would materialize this quickly, and Figueiredo might owe Benavidez a debt of gratitude for making it happen.
Benavidez defeated Henry Cejudo in a 2016 non-title bout and has won three of his four fights since. The 35-year-old Texas native won Performance of the Night for his second-round stoppage of second-ranked Jussier Formiga last June.
But he faces a daunting challenge from the rising Figueiredo, who has four stoppages among his six UFC victories. The 32-year-old Brazilian submitted Tim Elliott in their October bout. His decision win over Alexandre Pantoja in June earned a Fight of the Night accolade. You can see Marley’s full Benavidez vs. Figueiredo picks here.
Top UFC Fight Night 169 predictions
We’ll share one of Marley’s UFC Fight Night 169 predictions here: He is backing Sergey Spivak (-120) to get a stoppage of veteran Marcin Tybura (+100) in a heavyweight clash.
Tybura (17-6) is a five-year UFC pro who has battled some of the division’s biggest names. But the 34-year-old Polish fighter has lost four of his past five bouts, with a decision win over seven-footer Stefan Struve the lone victory. He has been stopped in three of those defeats.
Spivak (10-1), 25, has split his first two UFC bouts. The Ukrainian recorded a second-round submission of Tai Tuivasa in their October bout on the UFC 243 card.
“Tybura looks like he could be a shot fighter and there is no way I could bet on him after some of the performances we have seen lately,” Marley told SportsLine. “Spivak is 10 years younger and should improve, so I am going to side with Spivak and I believe he’ll get a finish.”
How to make UFC Fight Night 169 picks
Marley also has strong picks for Benavidez vs. Figueiredo, Spencer vs. Fairn dos Santos and every other bout on the UFC Fight Night 169 card. He’s also backing one “relentless grappler” who will win most striking exchanges too. Get every pick for every fight on the UFC Norfolk card at SportsLine.

Time for another entry in Friday Fictioneers challenge, courtesy of Rochelle Wissof-Fields. If you want to give it a try, check the info on her blog. 100 words more or less, inspired by a photo, here we go….
Copyright – The Reclining Gentleman
I don’t know what went wrong, my dear.
I remember you standing there in a pale yellow dress, waiting patiently while I presented my greatest trick to the audience. As you vanished in a cloud of smoke, the last thing I saw was you blowing me the kiss. And then the time for The Prestige* came, but you were gone.
I can forgive you ruining my career…but did you have to break my heart?
These days the birds are the only companions to my jaded soul. How sad that the applause is replaced with the flapping of the wings…
*Each magician’s trick has three parts; The Pledge, where the audience is presented with an ordinary object; The Turn, where the object is turned into something extraordinary; and The Prestige, where the object is brought back.
Inspiration is a dangerous beast, lurking from the shadows, waiting a perfect moment to jump on your back and drag you into unknown. It dragged me far away this week and I barely managed to tie it back by a bird’s feather.

Humanities › History & Culture FamilySearch Historical Records 8 Tips to Go Beyond General Searching Share Flipboard Email Print Andrew Bret Wallis/Getty Images History & Culture Genealogy Vital Records Around the World Basics Surnames Genealogy Fun American History African American History African History Ancient History and Culture Asian History European History Inventions Latin American History Medieval & Renaissance History Military History The 20th Century Women's History View More By Kimberly Powell Genealogy Expert Certificate in Genealogical Research, Boston University B.A., Carnegie Mellon University Kimberly Powell is a professional genealogist and the author of The Everything Guide to Online Genealogy. She teaches at the Genealogical Institute of Pittsburgh and the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy. our editorial process Kimberly Powell Updated June 20, 2019 Whether your ancestors came from Argentina, Scotland, the Czech Republic, or Montana, you can access a wealth of free historical records online at FamilySearch, the genealogy arm of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It has a wealth of indexes available through its free Historical Records Collection, which includes more than 5.57 billion searchable names in 2,300+ collections from countries all over the world, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, England, Germany, France, Argentina, Brazil, Russia, Hungary, the Philippines, and many more. However, there's a lot more data available that's not searchable via a keyword, which is where the huge trove of historical document images come in. Basic Search Strategies There are so many records online at FamilySearch now that a general search often turns up hundreds if not thousands of irrelevant results. You want to be able to target your searches to wade through less chaff. If you've already tried using the "exact search" checkboxes next to the fields; searched birth, death, and residence places; used wildcards in names that could be spelled different ways; or tried to narrow by relationship with another person, location, or type of record already, you still have other options that can make your search more fruitful. Search by Collection A general search almost always turns up too many possibilities unless the search contains someone with a very unusual name. For best results, start by choosing a country to find collections, via the location search, or by browsing by location down to a particular record collection (e.g., North Carolina Deaths, 1906–1930). When you have the collection open that you want, you can use the "narrow by" technique within each collection (e.g., use parent surnames only to find married female children in the N.C. Deaths collection). The more possible places and connected names that you can try, the more meaningful your results will turn out to be.Take notes on the title and years of the collection you're searching, in relation to whom. If the collection is missing records from certain years, you'll know what you've been able to check—and what you haven't—because those missing records could come online or become searchable one day. Vary the Fields You Use The records might not have everything in them that you've typed into the "narrow by" fields if you've used multiple boxes, so it might not come up even if it's there. Try the search multiple ways, varying what fields you try to refine by. Use different combinations of fields. Use Wildcards and Other Search Refinements FamilySearch recognizes both the "*" wildcard (replaces one or more characters) and the "?" wildcard (replaces a single character). Wildcards can be placed anywhere within a field (even at the beginning or end of a name), and wildcard searches work both with and without the "exact search" checkboxes being used. You can use "and," "or," and "not" in your search fields as well as quotation marks to find exact phrases. Show a Preview After your search has returned a list of results, click on the little upside-down triangle to the right of each search result to open a more detailed preview. This reduces your time spent, versus clicking back and forth between the results list and the result pages. Filter Your Results If you're searching across multiple collections at one time, use the "Category" list in the left-hand navigation bar to narrow your results by category. This is useful for filtering out census records, for example, which often end up topping results lists. After you've narrowed to a particular category ("Births, Marriages & Deaths," for example), the left-hand navigation bar will list record collections within that category, with the number of results that match your search query next to each collection title. Browse as Well as Search Many collections at FamilySearch are only partially searchable at any given point in time (and many are not at all), but this information isn't always easy to determine from the collection list. Even if a particular collection is searchable, compare the total number of searchable records listed in the Collections List with the total number of records available by selecting the record set and scroll down to see the number of records listed under "View Images in This Collection." In many cases, you will find many records available for browsing that aren't yet included in the searchable index. Use the "Wrong" Documents A child's birth record can find information about his or her parents. Or, being the more recent document about the person, a death certificate could also contain his or her birthdate, if the birth certificate (or "vital record" or "civil registration") is elusive. Don't Forget Nicknames and Variants If you're searching for Robert, don't forget to try Bob. Or Margaret if you search for Peggy, Betsy for Elizabeth. Try both the maiden name and married name for women. Volunteering Hundreds of thousands of volunteers have generously donated their time to help to index the collections through FamilySearch Indexing. If you're interested in volunteering, the software is easy to download and use, and instructions are well thought out and generally self-explanatory. A little of your time can help get that genealogy record online for someone else who is searching for it.

With the sporadic effects of COVID-19 pandemic on all the sectors worldwide, mainly the start-ups, the future of EV stands frozen. This year started with the growing support for the notion that the international demand for the white metal will hike by 15%. On the contrary, a 5% drop in demand is predicted in 2020.
It is estimated that the slump will agitate the industry for a year. It may quite extend the threat for operations depending on the COVID-19 effects on deployment plans from Ford Motor Co., Volkswagen AG, and more auto manufacturers.
Most people would agree that a drop in oil prices should encourage end-users to purchase an internal combustion engine(ICE) vehicle. On the contrary, we believe that keeping in mind the tremendous damage caused by fuel-based vehicles to the environment, people will opt for Electric vehicles and their sale would conclusively boost.
The Government had launched the National Electric Mission Plan in the year 2013 with a vision to line 6-7 million electric vehicles on road by 2020 resolving to attain 30% e-mobility in India by 2030. Moreover, EV industries are likely to generate 10 million jobs in the future. This Mission hints an enormous scope for a lucrative career in EV industries.
Some thought-provoking facts about the Future of Electric Vehicles
Major Auto manufacturers are all set to strike a goal of Electric vehicle production. Tesla planned to reach 0.5 million electric car sales in 2018 and 1 million electric car sales by 2020. Surprisingly, Tesla made a jolting profit within the half-moon of 2020 of $16 million, regardless of factory lockdowns in China and the US. Tesla has supposedly predicted that it may still whack its goal of delivering 500,000 vehicles globally this year in the face of the pandemic. It’s the primary time in Tesla’s history that the firm has turned in three successive profitable quarters.
Volkswagen has significantly increased electric car plans, now targeting 1.5 million EVs in 2025. And procreating it to be affordable for millions of people desiring the climate-favoring individual mobility.
Ford plans to advance sales of full-electric vehicles to a third of overall sales by 2030 and 15% of EV sales by 2025.
Volvo cars have carried out to put one million electrified cars on the road and 50% of Volvo cars sale size to be fully electric by 2025.
Accelerated ‘Electric Vision’ Blueprint will find Honda’s dominant models electrified which will be
much before the anticipated time that’s by 2022, three years earlier than formerly planned. Honda intends six Electric cars to be introduced in the next 36 months.
Furthermore, BMW strategize to spawn one-quarter of sales from Electric Vehicles (EVs) in 2021. Ascending up to at least one third in 2025 and one half in 2030.
China, the Major manufacturer of EVs, has imposed a target of 60% of all vehicles to be sold and run on electric motors by 2035.
The list carries on. Although, the Pandemic caused the sale of EVs to be unlikely, the rationale being the cost of EVs as compared to traditional vehicles. However, with the visions, goals, and the determination of the World’s most experienced and largest automakers, the future looks more promising.
Conclusion: The EV revolution may have lagged at the moment. It’s on the verge of emerging as the most sought-after vehicle globally. As Pedro Palandrani of the Global X Lithium & Battery Technology ETF said to the Economic Times, “The long-term story is a structural trend toward EV adoption. It’s extremely well on its way”

The HUUB Wattbike team will be welcoming back a familiar face at the UCI National Championships later this month.
After losing Harry Tanfield to Katusha-Alpecin on the World Tour last year, and the departure of short term support Ashton Lambie after the World Cup in London, British Cycling’s Charlie Tanfield is set to ride the line in Manchester.
Charlie went from strength to strength in 2018. Last year he picked up gold in the team pursuit at the World Championships with Team GB, after riding the World Cup season for Team KGF, now known as HUUB Wattbike, and then raced for England at the Commonwealth Games - resulting in a Silver medal in the 4km Team Pursuit and a Gold medal and Games Record in the 4km Individual Pursuit.
HUUB Wattbike team principal Dan Bigham says: “We won’t be able to ride with Charlie until the night before Nationals, where we’ll have half an hour together,” Dan says, “But we’re confident. He can ride team pursuit; we’ve ridden with him many times over.”

Surfer missing after shark attack
Hopes are fading for a West Australian surfer who was taken by a shark on Friday.
Andrew Sharpe was surfing about 10.45am at Kelp Beds near Esperance when he was bitten and dragged below the surface. A surfboard with bite marks later washed ashore but the father-of-two is yet to be found.
It's the fifth incident in the area in just seven years, with a teenage girl killed at the same spot three years ago.
Locals said the shark-infested waters were "too dangerous" for surfers.
"Sharks are always prowling these waters at Esperance for years and for decades. We don't swim in these waters too far out from the shallow waters," Denise Colbung said.
Wayne Brennand said the Kelp Beds should be "closed permanently to surfing".
"Honestly, how many more people have to suffer?" he said.
Esperance Senior Sergeant Justin Tarasinski said up to eight surfers were in the water at the time of the attack.
"The surfboard washed up nearby to where the attack occurred and with obvious signs of shark attack," he told reporters on Friday.
"The chances of survival are obviously pretty slim considering some of the accounts that have been provided to us."
The search, involving jet skis and boats, was called off due to a lack of daylight Friday evening, but will resume Saturday morning, with police divers also expected to join the desperate search.
Premier Mark McGowan described it as a "very sad and potentially tragic" situation.
Shire of Esperance president Ian Mickel said the community was saddened by the tragedy.
"It's extremely sad to hear there's been a shark attack again," he said.
"We've had a lot of attacks over the last seven years. It's just really, really disappointing."
Esperance Ocean Safety and Support committee member David Swan told NCA NewsWire everyone was devastated.
"Our thoughts are with the family and close friends," he said.
"Everyone's in a bit of shock and feeling very sad."
Kelp Beds is about 15km east of Esperance along Wylie Bay.

Iwokrama, the green heart of Guyana
Congratulations to IIC, Guyana, for a successful FSC® Forest Management certificate, October 2016
by Maria Berlango, Soil Association Forestry Senior Certification Officer
‘We were invited to start working with a different Certification Body, but having worked with Soil Association in the past, we knew them, and trusted they would do it the right way.’
Iwokrama is an area of tropical rain forest in Guyana, South America, managed by ICC, covering an area of about 3710 square km –roughly the size of the UK county of Cornwall.
Read more about them and our involvement here)
An epic journey …
After some pre-assessment training in May 2016, Senior Certification Manager Janette McKay and myself set out on the two day journey in mid-September, towards the heart of the forest.
Travelling from the capital Georgetown to the field centre (just 300km) took 8 hours, along pot-holed dirt roads in jeeps. We finally arrived at Essequibo River, boarded a ferry and crossed the river to the edge of the Iwokrama Forest.
… to a very special habitat
Iwakrama is one of the world’s most pristine areas of tropical rainforest, home to some of our largest and most endangered species – the harpy eagle, jaguar, giant otter, anaconda, giant river turtle and more. 30% of species found there are classified as rare and endangered.
As well as this three meter long black caiman, we saw brilliant flashes of red from the green winged macaws in the forest by the road while we were approaching the field centre. Surprisingly hard to spot in the surrounding trees, their raucous calls helped to draw attention to their presence.
Though this was all the wildlife we saw, forest sounds – monkeys, frogs, birds, insects – are a constant reminder of what’s out there.
Following the pre-assessment back in May, the Iwokrama team were well prepared for our four day audit. Everything went to plan, though from our point of view, the high humidity and insect bites were a challenge!
The forest is divided into two sectors. One is kept as a wilderness preserve (50% of the total area). The other is the Sustainable Use Area. Reduced impact logging techniques are used in the Sustainable Use Area, notably directional felling. This minimises damage to the remaining trees and ensures logs are easily accessible for extraction, which minimises disturbance to surrounding vegetation. Less than 10 trees per hectare are removed and regeneration is left to happen naturally.
As well as many other species, the forest has healthy coverage of the highly prized greenheart (Chlorocardium rodiei) and purpleheart (Peltogyne sp.) trees. Both offer natural density and water resistance that make them useful as pilings and decking in the construction of ships, ports and docks.
IIC is the first forest in Guyana to get FSC certification, committing to social, environmental and economic ways of working. As the programme grows and the benefits of certification become evident, local forestry and logging companies will be encouraged to follow suit.
For Iwokrama, the biggest challenge is to continue strengthening cooperation and engagement with the people who live in the forest. To be committed to this, in the form of work, training, consultation etc, is a key part of existing and future plans.
‘People have lived in the forest for thousands of years – we saw evidence of this in petroglyphs on rocks in the river.
The Iwokrama project has established long term agreements with the Amerindian communities living in and next to the forest so it was important for us to interview representatives during the audit with the help of an expert for the University of Guyana.’
Senior Certification Manager,
Soil Association Forestry
The Iwokrama International Centre for Rainforest Conservation and Development (IIC) manages the forest ‘in a manner that will lead to lasting ecological, economic and social benefits to the people of Guyana and to the world in general’ . It’s a not-for-profit organisation made up of many stakeholders – forest residents, local and national government, environmentalist etc.
Our first contact with IIC was in 2008.
In 2014 IIC received funding for FSC® Certification from the German Government (as part of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit implemented Caribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions Programme), and were keen to regain international recognition for their sustainable forest management.
Having established a good working relationship back in 2008, IIC wanted us to be their Certification Body again, and this funding provided the opportunity.

Stagecoach in Hull are amending their weekday 677 service from Tuesday 2nd April; this is effectively a workers service for Cranswick Foods in Preston, but is also available for general public use.
Currently the service runs directly from Hull City Centre via Hedon Road to Preston, with some journeys starting at the Beverley Road/Clough Road junction. However from Tuesday services will now run from Hull Interchange up Beverley Road, along Clough Road, Leads Road, Sutton Road, Ings Road, Maybury Road and Marfleet Lane to rejoin Hedon Road and it's previous route. This offers direct links to Cranswick Foods from more areas of Hull, and also serves other employment areas around Sutton Fields Industrial Estate and Clough Road. The only major timetabling note is the withdrawal of the last evening bus in each direction, currently 1800 from the Interchange and 1845 from Cranswick Foods - the last bus is now 1655 from the Interchange and 1815 from Cranswick Foods.
Talking off Clough Road, Stagecoach are adding a new weekday workers service to serve the new Police Headquaters and other employment sites in the area - the 101 (again it is open to the general public as well). Like the 677 it will run from Hull Interchange up Beverley Road to Clough Road before continuing up Holwell Road to the North Point Shopping Centre. Journeys depart Hull Interchange at 0710, 0740, 0810 and 0840; in the return direction services start at Clough Road, departing at 1545, 1610 and 1740.
One thing - why the 101 route number. Wouldn't 676 or 678 have been better - or even 29 since it shares part of the route with the 28, and part with the 30?
DB and SBB to expand services between Germany and Switzerland - As well as introducing new direct services between the two countries, SBB and DB will work to ensure that travel times will be further reduced. Deutsch...

It has been a busy week so far for biosimilar developers, with multiple collaboration and commercialization deals announced.
First, on November 4, Henlius and Ascentage Pharma announced that they entered into a collaboration to conduct clinical trials of the combination therapy for oncology using Henlius’s rituximab biosimilar, HLX01, which was approved and launched in China earlier this year, and Ascentage’s APG-2575, a proprietary orally administered Bcl-2 selective inhibitor.
Also on November 4, Alvotech announced that it has entered into an exclusive partnership with investment group Yas Holding for the Middle East and North Africa that will provide Yas with supplies to commercialize three Alvotech biosimilar candidates in this region. According to the press release, Yas has acquired a 2.5% stake in Alvotech, and the total partnership value is estimated to be around $45 million.
Alvotech further announced yesterday that it has entered into a collaboration with STADA under which STADA will exclusively commercialize seven of Alvotech’s biosimilar products in key European markets and certain markets outside of Europe. The companies’ joint press release does not specify which biosimilars are encompassed by the deal, but indicates that “the initial pipeline contains biosimilar candidates aimed at treating autoimmunity, oncology and inflammatory conditions as well as ophthalmology for patients around the world” and that the “originator products of the seven biosimilars currently generate $50 billion in sales globally.”
Yesterday, Bioeq and Coherus announced that they entered into a license and development agreement under which Coherus will exclusively market and distribute Bioeq’s biosimilar candidate to LUCENTIS (ranibizumab) in the United States. The companies indicate that Bioeq will be responsible for submitting the aBLA to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2019 and for subsequent product supply, and that Coherus plans to launch the product in 2021. Bioeq further stated that “starting in 2020, Bioeq will also be in a position to offer rights for its biosimilar ranibizumab to marketing and distribution partners outside the U.S.” Bioeq, a joint venture between the Polpharma Biologics Group and the Strüngmann Group, co-developed FYB201 with Formycon.
Biogen and Samsung Bioepis also announced yesterday that they entered into a new commercialization agreement covering the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, and Australia for two biosimilar candidates under development by Samsung Bioepis: SB11, a biosimilar candidate of LUCENTIS (ranibizumab) that is undergoing phase 3 clinical trials; and SB15, a pre-clinical biosimilar candidate referencing EYLEA (aflibercept). The companies also indicate that the agreement gives Biogen the option to extend the commercialization term for Samsung Bioepis’s three anti-TNF biosimilar—BENEPALI (etanercept), FLIXABI (infliximab), and IMRALDI (adalimumab)—in Europe for additional five years beyond the original ten-year agreement, as well as exclusive commercialization rights to these three biosimilar in China.

The trucker that was born in a truck, huh? Give me the details.
Well, my parents pulled up in front of the diesel pumps at the Shenandoah, Ohio truck stop in a 1973 Freightliner. My dad was getting ready to pump fuel when he heard my mom in stress, going into labor. Well, a service truck pulled up along one side of the Freightliner, and an ambulance pulled up on the other. My mom, lying in the bed of the big rig gave birth to me right there and then; the paramedic pulled me right out through the emergency access panel. My dad went there for fuel and got a son.
Being born in a truck and all, it seems like fate had it out for you to be a truck driver. When did you start driving?
I first started driving when I was 16 years old, on the farm. Back then I drove a Volvo White and an International. I started driving Over the Road when I turned 21. I haven’t been driving Over the Road consistently since then, though. I did it for a few years, then took a break to help out on the folk’s farm for a while.
What kind of trucks have you driven?
I’ve driven Kenworths, Western Stars, Volvos… The first truck I ever drove, outside of the farm, was back when I was 18 and told my father I wanted to be a truck driver like him. We had an old Trifold Mack and he had me take the wheel and learn to drive, by driving, by myself. Back then in Colorado, farmers didn’t need an CDL-A to drive a truck; they were exempt, all you needed was a regular driver’s license.
What’s your favorite part of being a driver?
The fact that I love to travel, and at someone else’s expense, and get paid for it haha. Well, I guess it’s not at someone else’s expense anymore; I’m a Lease Purchase driver now. But I still get paid for it and it’s still worth it.
Any tips for other drivers?
I’d recommend driving with a company that works with your specific needs and wants. For me, that’s LTI, but you need to find your company for yourself. Also, like my father said to me, you’re the one who has to stop 80,000 pounds of rolling steal, so you’re the one who has to learn how to drive it and control it.

During the COVID crisis, restrictions have been put in place which have sometimes kept people apart for the purpose of safety. For counseling cases in which there has been marital abuse the victim often must be separated from the abuser for the sake of safety. During this time, we counsel the abuser separate from the victim as we seek to lead him to faithful biblical repentance (2 Cor. 7:10-11). This often is a slow, hard process. We usually hope for the ultimate restoration of the marriage. We also must ensure that the mistreated spouse and children are safe. It is hard to know when the husband and wife are ready to move again towards each other. As Chris Moles often says, “If you have seen one case of abuse, you have seen one case of abuse.” Wisdom is required as they move towards reconciliation (James 1:5).
As I have observed how government leaders have implemented phased lifting of restrictions during the COVID crisis, it has occurred to me that a similar process might be appropriate as separated couples seek to safely remove restrictions on their interaction. Rather than moving instantly from separation to total restoration of privileges, a phased approach might be a wise approach. Just as there is flexibility (depending upon the data) in implementing the phases of lifting restrictions from COVID, certain factors (data) in a marriage may indicate that they should move forward to the next phase, or remain in the present phase for longer than anticipated, or even go back to a previous phase.
Phase 1 – Just as the COVID crisis began with an almost total lockdown (businesses being shut down and people being ordered to stay at home), a couple in crisis because of abuse may need to be totally separated for a period of time. During this time the abusive husband1I refer to the husband as the abuser because the great majority of abusers are men. We do encounter cases in which the wife is the abuser, in which case the same principles would apply. should receive biblical counsel in order to deal with the heart issues which have led to his oppressive controlling behavior. His church leaders would work with him seeking to bring him to a comprehensive recognition of the categories of his sin so that he could repent first before God and ultimately towards the family members he has harmed. His spouse also may receive individual counsel as she processes biblically her experience of having been oppressed and betrayed by the man whom she should have been able to trust. During this phase, contact will be limited to that which is essential (i.e., necessary interactions about children and finances). Mediation and accountability will probably be necessary to ensure that the abuser doesn’t try to exercise coercive control or to go beyond the agreed parameters of their interactions.
Phase 2 – Just as governors gradually lifted restrictions on individuals and businesses in the second phase of reopening after certain benchmarks had been met, a separated couple might take initial steps towards greater interaction if they and their counselors sense that they are making progress. The most important factor would be that the abuser has grasped the severity of his sin and is repentant before God and his spouse. An equally important factor is the assessment of the wife regarding his continued behavior. A counselor would be wise to take the wife’s preferences and understanding into consideration as they develop a plan (see the repentance card2https://ibcd.org/product/domestic-abuse-study-cards/ , https://jimnewheiser.com/counseling-cards-english/). Some of their interaction during this phase would involve the guilty party seeking forgiveness. The couple might initially agree to speak over the phone for an hour or two a week in order to try to rebuild their trust. One of the benchmarks during this phase would be the patience of the abuser (1 Cor. 13:4-7). This is evidenced by him not pushing ahead or demanding more time and attention than has been agreed, or insisting that he be trusted and allowed home before his wife and her counselors believe the couple is ready. Putting pressure on her and violating the agreed parameters of their discussions may keep him in phase 2 or even put him back into phase 1. When this phase is going well marriage counseling could be initiated while individual counseling might also continue.
Phase 3 – The benchmarks which indicate that it may be safe to move to phase 3 include humility and patience on the part of the abuser, and a sense on the part of his spouse that it is safe to move forward. Phase 3 could include going out on weekly dates, sharing meals together with the children, or enjoying fun family activities together. Some of the time together might include serious conversation about their relationship with the Lord and each other. Much of their time together could be just enjoying each other and rebuilding friendship. This phase also would provide benchmarks for the abuser’s spouse and her counselors. Is the former abuser treating her with respect and not harshness (Col. 3:19)? Will he accept “no” for an answer? How does he handle disappointment? Is he thankful for the fact that his wife is open to rebuilding their broken marriage? As with the other phases, progress could lead to the next phase and regress could leave them in this stage or even force them to revert back to a previous stage. Ideally their counselors would help them work through any setbacks. It is important for both spouses to have realistic expectations. A repentant man will be characterized by biblical love, humility, and the fruit of the Holy Spirit, but he will not be perfect. He may sometimes struggle with selfishness, impatience, or self-pity. Hopefully, these failures will be much less dramatic than before and he will be quick to truly repent (not just using an apology as a “get out of jail free” card).
Phase 4 – Assuming that phase 3 has been going well for a period of time, the couple may consider entering into a phase 4. There is no “right” answer for how long this should be in weeks or months. Sadly, some situations may not progress at all. This phase could involve allowing the husband to come home for a couple of days a week – i.e., on weekends. The purpose of this phase would be to see how the couple can readjust to sharing life together. Hopefully, having him back in the home will confirm the new patterns of godliness, servanthood, and grace (reflecting the fruit of the Spirit – Galatians 5:22-23) in the former abuser which would then increase the wife’s confidence that she is doing the right thing to move towards full reconciliation. On the other hand, if the husband begins to revert to some of his former patterns of oppressive controlling behavior, this phase may be put on hold or may revert back to an earlier phase. It is important that relational expectations and parameters (boundaries) are made very clear, agreed upon and enforced during this phase.
Phase 5 – When the wife is confident that new patterns have been established, the husband may move home, hopefully once and for all. They probably should still receive marital and individual counseling which would cover issues such as agreed biblical procedures for dealing with conflict, how the wife can speak up and gently correct her husband (Gal. 6:1) with respect, and how the husband can learn to be a Christlike servant leader (Mark 10:43 John 13:1ff). They may even choose to reaffirm their marriage vows in celebration of what God has done.
It could be said that the church has experienced an abuse pandemic. A lot has been written about the need to separate an abuser from his victims, but not much has been offered about how to bring a family back together. I am fully committed to preserving the safety of the victims of abuse. I also am committed to not pushing too fast towards reuniting a wife with an abusive husband.3Sometimes in our experience it is the wife who is in too much of a hurry – eager to take him back before he is truly repentant. I also find great joy seeing the power of the gospel which transforms selfish, angry, oppressive men into humble servants (Phil. 2:3-8), and enables those who have been hurt to offer Christlike forgiveness (Eph. 4:31-32). We are presently walking through phased reconciliation with some couples whom we have been counseling. We rejoice to see gospel-based progress for which God alone receives glory.

I can’t remember the pivotal moment in my writing career anymore. But something changed in me between high school and college.
In high school, I wrote because I had so many stories inside of me. I cared less about who read them. I kept my manuscripts – all three of them – behind closed doors. No one saw them except for one person: Lily. She, in fact, turned my first novel down. It’s too boring and confusing, she had said.
I researched writing and publishing more. My dreams got crushed when I realized it’d take at least five years to get a literary agent.
I wanted my book published before I graduated college, but that was a far-fetched dream. Perhaps I should’ve realized how crazy my dreams were.
But I didn’t stop.
I changed my entire novel around. I got Lily to say, It’s getting better. Not amazing. Not fantastic. But better. Which meant I still had more work to do.
I changed my perception again when college slapped me in the face. Sitting in a room with other writers who were on the same level or higher was intimidating to say the least. Thoughts of failing as a writer slipped into my head more than they should’ve.
But I didn’t stop.
I kept on writing, editing, reading, and researching, which seemed to be a pattern in all determined writers. No one got into the field unless they knew the field. So, I wrote, edited, and researched every day.
I knew about the writer’s platform and how little publishing companies helped sell a book. I researched the top writers in America and wrote down their publishers. I made sure I knew more about the writing field even if it brought my confidence down even more.
After my first college writing class, Lily and I sat at a Starbucks in Barnes and Noble. We had some type of croissant between us. I was editing on my iPad while she read the newest version of my novel. But she glanced up and said something that caught my attention. You know, your writing has improved a lot. You write more like a published author now.
I write like what?
Even though she said those words I never felt like it much after that. As someone beginning to see the writing world with its excitement and dangers, I felt like I’m more of a ripple in the ocean instead of a wave. Someday, I might be a wave, but I wasn’t quite there yet and it was aggravating.
I haven’t stopped yet.

SolarWorld AG, the company that fired severe solar trade wars between China, the U.S., and Europe, has officially announced to file for insolvency proceedings on May 10 due to incapability of paying off its debts.
SolarWorld stated in a short statement that: “The management board of SolarWorld AG, after having conducted a diligent review, came to the conclusion today that due to the ongoing price erosion and the development of the business, the Company no longer has a positive going concern prognosis, is therefore over-indebted and thus obliged to file for insolvency proceedings.”
Frank Asbeck, SolarWord’s founder and CEO, described the insolvency as a “bitter step,” according to PV Magazine’s report. He expressed his appreciation to all SolarWorld employees for their effort of constructing a fair competition environment in the solar industry.
SolarWorld’s bankruptcy was, again, blamed for rapid module price decline began in the second half of 2016 from China.
Trade barrier was unable to avoid business recession
The PV industry has been in oversupply for years and the module price has been declining year by year. SolarWorld went into loss since 2014, and the financial loss worsened in the second half of 2016.
Although SolarWorld appealed for trade protections (anti-dumping and countervailing measures) against China and Taiwan, the company was unable to return to profitability effectively because both Chinese and Taiwanese PV makers have gradually established extra capacities in third-party countries since 2015.
The global module price decline also accounted for SolarWorld’s loss.
Three issues to come
“SolarWorld AG’s insolvency will directly lead to three questions,” pointed out an analyst at EnergyTrend. “First, will SolarWorld Americas Inc. follow and file for insolvency? Second, will there be a supply void? Third, will the protection measures implemented by the U.S. and Europe continue?”
For the first issue, it is unclear whether SolarWorld Americas will go bankrupt or not at this moment. However, the answer will be closely related to the third issue – the trade barriers. Will the measures still be implemented in case that SolarWorld AG (and SolarWorld Americas) went bankrupt? The same question can further be correlated to China’s anti-dumping and countervailing measures on polysilicon imports from Europe.
For the second question, SolarWorld had 1.5GW production capacities for ingot, wafer, PV cells and modules by the end of 2016, according to the company’s 2016 Annual Report, while it also planned to relocate them in 2017. In SolarWorld’s 2017 relocation plan, it would have over 1GW of solar cell manufacturing capacity back to Germany.
In 2016, SolarWorld shipped around 14% of it modules to Germany and around 500MW of modules to the U.S. As SolarWorld AG has filed for insolvency, it is expected to create a supply void, of which the volume is depending on the progress of SolarWorld’s capacity transition.
Suniva has filed its petition under Sections 201 after it filed for chapter 11 in the U.S. this April. EnergyTrend expects that Sections 201 will stimulate a short-term demand rush in the U.S. SolarWorld AG’s insolvency, therefore, will create module shipment opportunity for other suppliers.

Surefire Health Tips to
Transition to Autumn
ęDeborah Barr, 2011-16; all rights reserved.
The Autumn Equinox provides a tremendous
outpouring of energy for your use or misuse. Your
thoughts, feelings, words, choices and actions can create
greater health and an abundance of all good things if you are
consciously directing them toward what you DO want--right NOW.
Equinoxes represent balance and autumn is harvest time. What
seeds have you planted in the spring? What were your dominant
mental seeds? How healthy have your food choices been? You
will most likely reap the results of your efforts of the past
two seasons to fulfill your goals, vision and dreams. Does that
scare you or excite you? Either way, it's never too late for a
fresh, new approach to taking control of your health and
personal life. Autumn represents letting go. Are you
ready to release all that's been intensifying your challenges
and keeping you stuck?
Eating and living in harmony with the seasons is one aspect of
my Holistic WholeHealth approach to creating radiant
health and energy; a healthy fit body and mind; emotional
harmony and an abundant, joyful life you love. Many of the
reductionist and one-size-fits-all methods of western medicine
and many alternative models are inadequate in assisting you
with complete recovery from physical and emotional health
distress and personal crises.
There is a more accurate Holistic method for you to determine
what is needed for healing your emotional, physical
and lifestyle problems. My WholeHealth approach is based
on centuries old traditional health wisdom founded on solid
principles rather than popular trends that contradict each other
and fade in time. I have several offerings that can benefit you
and details are at the end of this article.
Health Challenges – Lungs, Immunity, Digestion and Skin
Each season brings the potential for specific physical and
emotional health issues. If your health is weak you are more
likely to experience health challenges during the transition
from summer to autumn. The well being of your body, mind and
emotions in any season is dependent, to a large extent, on your
food and lifestyle choices of the previous seasons.
According to the centuries old wisdom of traditional health
philosophies, autumn impacts the lungs and large intestine.
Colds, sinus problems, lung and immune ailments (including
allergies and asthma), digestive problems, skin conditions,
weakness and/or pain in the arms, thumbs and index fingers; weak
abdominal muscles; and pain and/or weakness in the thumb and
index fingers are some common imbalances related to lung and
digestive health and prevalent during this season.
there is disharmony in these organs, specific emotions and
characteristics will be more pronounced. Perhaps during this
time of year you’ve noticed that you become indecisive,
lethargic, depressed, or unable to see positive solutions and
move beyond adversity. Or you may engage in self-blame and
not-good-enough syndrome; become unresponsive, indifferent,
negative, ineffective, isolated, self-destructive, and overly
self-protective. These symptoms are caused by lung and large
intestine imbalances, and originate from poor diet, excessive or
insufficient activity, climate, and/or organ malfunction.
Anxiety, depression, and other emotional disharmonies will be
covered in great detail in my upcoming
Emotional Harmony Webinar.
Subscribe to free e-newsletter, Whole Health
Matters, for details.
Most dry conditions are exacerbated during this season
and are related to the lungs—dry skin and throat, itchiness and
most skin conditions, chapped lips, and excessive thirst. Even
more common are conditions caused by an excess of mucus forming
fluids. This creates problems in the lungs by inhibiting the
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. When too much moisture or
mucus collects in the lungs, these gases cannot pass freely.
Fruit and cow’s milk products, including cheese, yogurt, and ice
cream, cause a lot of mucus in the respiratory system even if
they are labeled low-fat. Too much mucus in the lung tissues
makes them susceptible to inflammation and hypersensitive to the
effects of irritants in the air. Mucus traps harmful pollutants
allowing them to accumulate rather than be excreted. Phlegm in
the lungs is often caused by weak digestion. Each person’s
health plan should be individualized; however, some general
guidelines are listed below.
Therapeutic Foods for Autumn Health
help clear mucus in the lungs and intestines. They
include onions, garlic, turnip, broccoli, celery, ginger,
cabbage, horseradish, radish, daikon, small amounts of hot
peppers and chilies, seaweeds, and ground flaxseed. Use several
of these every day.
Pungent cooking herbs include garlic, ginger, black
pepper, basil, fennel, cinnamon, cloves, marjoram, rosemary,
caraway, dill and bay leaf. The rich beta-carotene content of
golden-orange and dark green vegetables helps protect these
organs. They include carrot, winter squash, broccoli, parsley,
kale, mustard greens, and watercress.
foods help to cleanse the colon and lungs and whole, unprocessed
grains are the best source, including brown rice, barley,
quinoa, oats, and millet. Eat 2 cups or more daily.
dry conditions such as dry
cough, dry skin, itchiness, excessive thirst, and sluggish
bowels or constipation, emphasize these foods: seaweed, peaches,
pears, apples (best to cook fruit in the autumn and winter),
string beans, tofu, tempeh, brown rice syrup, black sesame
seeds, ground flaxseed, organic butter or ghee, organic eggs,
oysters, and clams.
bitter, spicy, and sour foods and eliminate dehydrating
substances such as coffee, alcohol and cigarettes.
3-5 day cleansing diet of simple, easy to digest foods
can help bring you back to balance. Eat only whole, unprocessed
grains, steamed vegetables and

Twixt my finger and my thumbs, something wicked this way comes. (Witch on the approach of Shakespeare’s Macbeth).
In a spectacle of corruption, and chicanery, the Democrats, in breach of their oath to preserve and protect the Constitution, passed a healthcare bill, declared it splendid—and now are crowing victory. Americans, however, are shouting their wrath even as they pledge the political obliteration of Democrats. Well Done Democrats! Again Well Done! You have worked from your own rope the hangman’s noose will swing thee in the November winds.
The Democrats who voted yea sought to camouflage their faithlessness in contrivance, in fig leafs, however small, might cover their moral nakedness. Some pitched a beauteous vision: The Bill will irradiate the deficit, though they know as well as we the Bill will impose trillions in debt upon Americans and their children yet unborn.
Others embrace the tactics of Machiavelli. They believe that so long as they dump truckloads of cash into the pockets of their constituents, they will survive. The Chicago Presidential Administration love these Democrats. For they are of one mind, know the subtleties of crookedness and blowing smoke. Indeed, they are of one alloyed ambition: self-aggrandizement and the ascendance of a welfare state. So for the President there is no promise too great or small, too brazen or profane for which he will not squander American wealth or plunge American children into unquenchable deficits and penury. There were others of course who drape themselves in religion. One politician announced piously he would vote for the bill only after a soulful talk with his Catholic priest. He is not worth more words than this: Suffice to say he holds himself in religious awe.
Rep. Bart Stupak and the Democrats who pledged their conscience to the protection of an unborn child’s right to life promised to vote No to the Bill—until at last, just as the cock crowed, they betrayed the peoples’ sacred trust. Suddenly, Rep. Stupak saw the light; he would vote for the Bill because President O’bama, the most pro abortion President ever to take office, would publish an executive order urging the prohibition of federally funded abortions. Clear conscience indeed. Rep. Stupak, and the pro life Democrats who joined him knew then and now that the President’s Executive Order when signed will be a nullity that it cannot constitutionally trump the legislative language of the Bill or the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Roe v. Wade.
In Roe, the Supreme Court legitimized de facto, despite its restrictive words, any and all abortions, any time. If Rep. Stupak, and the few pro-life democrats were ignorant of the impotency of executive orders, why then didn’t they research the law? Why didn’t they ask the Council of Bishops for a copy of the briefs written by their legal staff? They would have discovered that an executive order is powerless to alter legislation or contest the ruling of courts?
The question for unborn children is one of life and death. Therefore, our would be champions must demand certainty. Why then didn’t Rep. Stupak and the pro life Democrats find out whether they could rely upon the President’s executive order to stop the taking of innocent life? As both the President and Stupak know the President’s executive order is a profane farce then, upon what law does Stupak rely to keep safe unborn children from the abortionist? The silence is deafening.
How quickly has principle surrendered to expedience. Perhaps Rep. Stupak simply erred. But why then did he so fiercely excoriate Republicans who proposed an amendment to the Bill, framed precisely in the language of the first Stupak amendment— an amendment that would have protected unborn children from federal extinction? And if Democrats are of one mind with the President and believe therefore, that his executive order will prevent federal funding of abortions why did Rep. Stupak and the rest of the Democrats vote the Republican amendment down? Why have Democrats adamantly rejected an amendment to protect unborn children from abortion that presumably is in harmony with President O’Bama’s executive order?
After the bill passed, Republicans introduced a motion that sought to send the bill back to committee and amend its abortion language using the kind of wording that Stupak originally wanted. Stupak spoke against the motion, leading to the shouts from some Republicans. Stupak told the chamber that the president's executive order would assure that "the sanctity of life is protected," and that the motion was "nothing more than an opportunity to continue to deny 32 million Americans health care.” For the Republicans to now claim that we send the bill back to committee under this guise of protecting life is disingenuous," Stupak said. "This motion is really to politicize life, not prioritize life.” The motion did not pass. CNN politics. Monday, March 22, 2010
From the beginning, President O’Bama and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi conceived out of the secular caverns of their radical vision a health care bill unmoved by facts or consequence. There they discovered the Bill would lower the deficit, bend the cost curve down, insure well over forty-five million Americans presently uninsured, eliminate billions in fraud, lower the cost of annual family health care premiums by $2500.00 and probably make us all immortal. But when well-researched and incontestable facts shattered their shtick, Democrats raised a stonewall against debate or challenges to their vision, flung racial or Nazi epithets at those who tried to debate and resorted in the end to shabby gimmickry. They wrung out of the Congressional Budget Office (CB0) an opinion would confirm their vision. But they know, as do all Americans, that the CBO’s findings, as they are constrained by the presumptions provided by the Democrats are nothing less than fiction.
Tacitus wrote of the Romans They made a desert and called it peace. Just so would the Democrats make of America a welfare state and call her still a democracy. Their constituency, however, the American people detest hypocrisy. Americans also detest the arrogance of politicians who would defy the Constitution, the States and its people. Finally, the great majority of Americans want to protect unborn children from the abortionist. That’s why so many Americans placed their trust in Rep. Stupak—and in a President, remember, who promised that the Bill would not fund the aborting of unborn children.
This too will pass, they think. So the President’s office has announced a unique media blitz will calm the circus rubes. The President will make lots of speeches. He will tell us that if we want to we can keep our old policy, our old doctor, that we will pay much less for health care, that the Bill will reduce the deficit, improve health care, particularly for the elderly presumably by striping five hundred billion dollars from Medicare. But wait, all this sounds too familiar. Must we hear this rot again? Perhaps not. Here is an American, Mitt Romney in A Campaign Begins Today.
Today America has just witnessed an unconscionable abuse of power. President Obama has betrayed his oath to the nation — rather than bringing us together, ushering in a new kind of politics, and rising above raw partisanship, he has succumbed to the lowest denominator of incumbent power: justifying the means by extolling the ends. He promised better; we deserved better. he calls his accomplishment “historic” — in this he is correct, although not for the reason he intends. Rather, it is an historic usurpation of the legislative process — he unleashed the nuclear option, enlisted not a single Republican vote in either chamber, bribed reluctant members of his own party, paid-off his union backers, scapegoated insurers, and justified his act with patently fraudulent accounting. What Barrack Obama has ushered into the American political landscape is not good for our country; in the words of an ancient maxim, “what starts twisted, ends twisted.” His health-care bill is unhealthy for America. It raises taxes, slashes the more private side of Medicare, installs price controls, and puts a new federal bureaucracy in charge of health care. It will create a new entitlement even as the ones we already have are bankrupt. For these reasons and more, the act should be repealed. That campaign begins today. — Mitt Romney is the former governor of Massachusetts and author of No Apology03/22 09:24 AM
It is time again to gird our loins, to fight, to screw our courage to the sticking place, to vow we will not fail, to cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war. After all, we are not undone nor will we be undone by the likes of Stupak and the President.
Let us condemn this obscenity: The Democrats, the President and his Congress have breathed into life a law will serve up unborn children to the fatal attractions of abortion. What have they done! What have they done!

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada’s government on Thursday proposed boosting a weekly payout for the jobless that would replace emergency COVID-19 income support that ends this weekend, a move that looks set to help the ruling Liberals win a parliamentary confidence vote.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is seeking the support of at least one opposition party on a sweeping agenda to battle COVID-19, help those hurt by it, and foster economic growth.
Two of the three other parties in Parliament signaled rejection of the plan. But the left-leaning New Democrats, who demanded the increased payout, indicated they would support Trudeau, thus averting an election.
“We are very optimistic about the outcome of these negotiations,” party leader Jagmeet Singh told reporters, adding he was talking with the government over his demand for paid sick leave. “It was never my goal to plunge the country into an election.”
Canada’s current unemployment rate is 10.2%, up sharply from 5.6% in February, the last full month before the coronavirus outbreak hit.
Employment Minister Carla Qualtrough told a news conference earlier on Thursday that Ottawa was proposing legislation that would make the new unemployment benefit equal to the emergency income support. Those eligible receive C$500 ($374.60) a week.
The government had initially said it would offer C$400 a week for up to 26 weeks.
Trudeau said on Wednesday that “this is not the time for austerity” and promised major new spending on top of the hundreds of billions of dollars he has already unveiled.
“It’s true that this is expensive, but ... it will be even more expensive if we don’t do it,” Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland told the news conference on Thursday.
Pressed on market concerns about the risk posed by soaring deficit and debt levels, she said interest rates were at a 100-year low.

The Genome Science Education Program seeks to increase understanding and awareness of genomics research its applications to health and medicine and related societal issues. The program focuses on developing and disseminating Internet-based curricula for students (grades 7–12) and on teacher professional development.
Curriculum modules are developed in collaboration with a cohort of 16 secondary life science master teachers who also pilot test materials in their classrooms. Each module includes animated and interactive online activities as well as “print-and-go” classroom activities; all are available on the Genetic Science Learning Center website.
Completed modules include “Stem Cells in the Spotlight,” “Cloning in Focus,” “Gene Therapy: Molecular Bandage?” and “Pharmacogenomics: Drugs Designed for You.”
The learning center’s website receives over 90000 visitors per week. Professional development programs for additional teachers aid in disseminating the curriculum modules. These include workshops at state and national science education conventions and as part of courses.
In Fall 2004 the master teachers presented workshops utilizing the curricula they developed as part of a regional two-day “Genetics in the 21st Century” conference. Several programs seek to educate the adult public about the science of stem cells. Lecture series are presented each year with additional lectures to interested community groups. The learning center is collaborating with the Utah Museum of Natural History (UMNH) to develop a new exhibit “Stem Cells and You” that will be shown in Spring 2005. The exhibit will be available to travel to other venues after its run at UMNH.
This project will expand existing genetics education programs at the University of Utah to increase understanding and awareness of genomics research its applications to health and medicine and related societal issues. The program will create an Internet-based curriculum for students (grades 7–12) and teachers teacher workshops a master teacher program and education programs for the public conducted jointly with the Utah Museum of Natural History. Inquiry-based interactive educational materials that survey the basics of molecular biology and genetics and also more advanced topics will be published on the Internet.
The completion of the first draft of the human genome sequence has brought public attention to genome science raising questions about how advances in this field will affect health personal and societal issues. With current research evolving at an extraordinary pace however the gap between leading-edge research and the scientific literacy of the general public continues to expand. Located in the midst of genome proteome medical genetics and classical genetics and classical genetics research at the University of Utah the Genetic Science Learning Center (GSLC) is an established education program for teachers students and lay audiences. The goal of the GSC is to bridge this knowledge gap combining Internet-based educational materials with teacher professional development workshops and public courses to increase genetics literacy and enabling individuals to make informed decisions.
The Genome Science Education Program (GSEP) represents a continuation of this effort. This multifaceted approach to genome science education and awareness will explore genome science research and its applications in medicine and society providing a rich educational experience for teachers students in grades 7–12 and the lay public. Multidisciplinary working groups will develop the programs in layers with up-to-date units presented yearly in the areas of genome science technology genomic approaches to common disease and human traits genomic approaches to evolution studies and ethical legal and social issues related to genome science. Inquiry-based interactive educational materials that survey the basics of molecular biology and genetics and delve deeper into more advanced topics will be published free of charge on the Internet. In-house and outreach teacher training workshops will utilize and supplement Internet materials to further professional development of science teachers in Utah the Intermountain region and nationwide. Public courses conducted in partnership with the Utah Museum of Natural History will bring a human face to genetics research presenting genome science in an accessible and engaging way.
Built-in formative evaluation at every stage of the program will provide critical feedback for improving content delivery and usability of educational materials. The GSEP project represents the development and functional testing of an innovative model for improving the science literacy of teachers student and the lay public.

In 2016, the number of deaths of refugees and migrants crossing the Mediterranean hit an all-time high.
CSR & Sustainability
The coffee industry touches more people than almost any other industry across the world. Globally, people drink more than two billion cups every day.
An increasingly large number of multi-national corporations (MNCs) are actively assuming their responsibility to demonstrate their respect for human rights in the workplace, not just within the “four walls” of their own premises, but both upstream
As head of public relations and communications at the Bulgarian branch of utilities conglomerate CEZ, Maria Doychinova has witnessed the increased scope for environmental factors on potential crisis situations.
The other day I was having lunch with my close friend Ingrid. A few years ago she had the idea to design a bag-in-bag system to help professional women like me manage the ‘busyness’ of our daily lives.
It is no secret that businesses are challenged almost on a daily basis by the pace of change happening in their environment.
Though corporate social responsibility (CSR) was once sneered at as public relations activities fuelled largely by extra company dollars, it will someday catalyse the next step in the evolution of the world’s corporations.
Until recently, supporting biodiversity was a call from conservationists; for companies it was regarded as cheque book philanthropy.

Hi there everyone! I have been less active lately on my blog and I’m really sorry for that! I’m currently working on getting a bunch of reviews up and ready to go, hopefully I’ll get those finished! Even though school just started, I already have several things to complete, so I’m kind of behind on things. Anyway, I’m back with another tag for you guys: the TBR book tag, in which the lovely Josie from Josie’s Book Corner has tagged me, (in the comments)! TBR means, in case you didn’t know, ‘to-be-read’. My TBR is over the moon honestly, I have waaaay to many books that I have yet to read. So this tag is great! Anywho, let’s get on with the tag!
How do you keep track of your TBR pile?
Goodreads!!! I don’t know what I’d do without Goodreads. I have tons of books on my TBR and I usually just keep track of everything from there! However, there are times where I hear of a book, write it down somewhere, telling myself I’ll add it to my Goodreads shelf, but end up forgetting to. This happens more times than I care to admit, (and as a result I’m sure I have a lot of books on my TBR written on paper that I have yet to add to Goodreads) but for the most part Goodreads is my best friend when it comes to my TBR.
Is your TBR mostly print or eBook?
Both, I think. In past years it probably would’ve been ebook, but as I’ve been increasing my physical book buying (wonderful for my shelves, terrible for my wallet) it’s kind of evened out now and I have a lot of print and ebooks waiting to be read.
How do you determine which book from your TBR to read next?
It’s a pretty spontaneous decision, really! Sometimes I choose books I have recently hauled, sometimes books that have been really hyped, and sometimes it’s just really up to my mood! Feeling down about something? Cheesy contemporary it is! Wanting some action? A thriller or fantasy! You get the idea. If I have review copies I usually try to give those priority as well.
A book that’s been on your TBR list the longest?
Huh. This is a hard one! I have no idea, but I would say Mansfield Park by Jane Austen. It’s one of the only Jane Austen books I haven’t read, and I have been meaning to for a while!
A book you recently added to your TBR?
Will you just look at this book! The Legend of Me by Rebekah L. Purdy is slated to be released on Februaray 2016, and I will surely be keeping my eye out for this one!
A book on your TBR strictly because of it’s beautiful cover?
The Last of the Firedrakes by Farah Oomerbhoy has such a beautiful cover! It looks so magical and has a very fairytail-istic look to it that I just love. I don’t know much about the story, but this book is definitely on my TBR. (LOL quite superficial of me, but you can’t just look at this cover and resist it! Not if you’re like me, at least. <3)
A book on your TBR that you never plan on reading?
Possession by Elana Johnson seems like an interesting novel, but I just don’t think I’ll ever be reading this one! Mostly just due to time priorities, and just lack of interest compared to other books. There IS still a chance I will read this one day, but I have no plans of that in the near future. Though if you read and liked this book, maybe one of you guys will change my mind!
An unpublished book on your TBR that you’re excited for?
ALL THE UNBUBLISHED BOOKSSSS. Kidding.
Not really. There are so many awesome-seeming unpublished books that I am dying to have in my hands right now!
Winter by Marissa Meyer, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, The Winner’s Kiss by Marie Rutkoski, Ten Thousand Skies Above You by Claudia Gray, First & Then by Emma Mills are just few of the books that I can’t wait to get my hands on! I love how 4/5 of these are sci-fi, fantasy and all that, and I only have one book that is contemporary… there are a bunch more that I wish I could put in here, but if I do we’ll be here until Christmas. 😉
A book on your TBR that everyone has read but you?
Honestly, I feel as if every single bookworm has read Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. It’s like some kind of unspoken rule or something! It’s everywhere. Don’t know when I’ll be getting around to this, but I will give it a try for sure.
A book on your TBR that everyone recommends to you?
Maybe not everyone because everyone hasn’t read this book, but a lot of people has recommended The Young Elites by Marie Lu and I really want to read it! Especially since I’ve also read and loved Marie Lu’s Legend trilogy.
A book on your TBR that you’re dying to read?
The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen seems soooo good and I honestly am dying to read it. And if I’m not mistaken, this book is even slated for a movie (not much planned yet though) and Emma Watson has shown interest in it! Ahhhhhhh!!!! Although I haven’t heard much on this news lately, you can check out this link for more details. Everyone and their mother has seemed to like this book, so I can’t wait to read it sometime.
How many books are on your Goodreads TBR shelf?
More than I’ll ever be able to read, I’m sure, since I have 1095 books (last time I checked, at least) on my Goodreads TBR shelf!! I just never seem to be able to stop adding books to my TBR. Not to mention that this 1095 isn’t even the whole thing; I have a bunch of other books I need to add to my Goodreads shelf that I haven’t done yet. So, yes! Clearly I am unable to comprehend that I already have more books than I will ever need since I keep adding even more all the time. XD
I know I tagged a lot of people in my Summer Reader Book Tag, so I will try to tag other people this time, but feel free to do this tag if you want to! I’ll even add your name to the post if you want to do it—just let me know in the comments below and consider it done! ❤ This was a super fun tag so it would be great if you wanted to do it as well.

While our studio is a free-flowing creative design space, getting out to trade shows, exhibitions and soaking up the autumnal sights and sounds that surround us is a great way to remain inspired and mindful of innovative trends and new product launches. We’ve collected a few of this season’s top trends and share our tips on how you can incorporate them into your home.
Everyone at some point has stared at a room thinking “something is missing”. One of the primary ways to remedy this is by using layers of texture. Whether it’s in front of you or you’re looking at it in the pages of a magazine or on a website, a room infused with layers of texture has an eye-catching and undeniable tactile aesthetic. Using an amalgamation of rough and smooth finishes and metallics can add warmth and character, while also providing contrast and depth to completely transform or update a space.
Take the opportunity to get creative, play around with different types of texture to create warmth, depth and character in your home. Using leather with woven fabrics is a key example of these complementary layers. Other elements that work well are chunky woven rugs, a cashmere throw or luxurious velvet sofa or cushions.
RWD expert tip: A rich textured rug can create a brilliant foundation upon which the other elements of a room can be built to create a balanced yet luxurious design scheme.
The metallic industrial look has long been a favourite in interior design, but the newest trend emerging showcases the softer side of warmer metals to add visual interest and depth to a room.
Elements such as brass, gold and copper accents can provide a subtle glow or provide the perfect contrast to highlight a specific feature in the room. Mixing up the colours and textures with grounded natural elements like wood or iron can offer a modern industrial touch and add a grounded element to your palette to ensure the total scheme looks flawless.
Introducing aged brass light fittings is one of the more popular updates. Reupholstering an existing piece of furniture in a tactile velvet with antique brass details is another way to nod towards one of the year’s hottest trends.
RWD expert tip: As trends move on, as they inevitably do, you can simply change your accessories to create an entirely new look.
From the Greek word monochromos, meaning ‘having one colour’, monochrome is interior design’s timeless choice. Choosing a sleek, striking and elegant monochrome scheme with the use of layering, texture and mixed materials encapsulates harmony and balance in a room.
Textured wallpapers, metallic finishes and faux fur throws can be used to add plenty of texture to a room. Use monochromatic graphic patterns, such as stripes and chevrons, to draw the eye to a room’s unique feature.
RWD expert tip: Stripes are a fantastic way to add instant energy to a room as well as bringing a sense of drama to a space. Clean lines provide a structure which can be enhanced with contrasting patterns and colours.
Green: the colour synonymous with nature. Psychologists have found that it’s a soothing colour, often making people feel relaxed and refreshed. From olive to darker hues such as deep forest, there is a wide colour palette to saturate your design scheme.
Velvet upholstery, textured wallpaper and carefully curated accessories such as rugs and lampshades are the perfect way to subtly introduce nature’s palette into a room. When paired with foliage, real or artificial, you can create a space that will improve your mood, even in the depths of the colder months.
RWD expert tip: If you feel the need to ring the seasonal changes, but aren’t ready for a complete interior redesign, refresh the look of your interior scheme with new accessories for the perfect injection of colour, texture and character.

The Text Me stamp set is full of fun sayings that are perfect for cards to friends when you just want to say hello. And rather than just include one message on the card, I decided to showcase eight different sayings that all work great together.
I started out with a panel of white cardstock and stamped the "hey girl" message in black ink where I wanted it to be. Then stamped some of the smaller sentiments above and below in a rainbow of colors. The colors of ink I used from top to bottom are: Crimson, Rose Madder, Tangerine, Green Apple, Intense Black, Aegean, Aquatic and Orchid.
Next, I trimmed a diagonal line on the top and bottom of the white panel and then adhered it to a strip of black cardstock that was the same width.
The background was stamp with the Blanket Pattern Bold Prints using Aegean ink on a Pool Folded Card. I added a strip of Mandarin Layering Paper to the right side of the card base and then adhered the stamped panel with foam adhesive. I finished off the card with some black enamel dots made with Ranger Enamel Accents.

Rebecca Roberts questions the use of language in criminal justice and introduces comments from Frances Crook, Jonathan Simon, Mike Nellis, Lizzie Seal, Simon Pemberton and Nils Christie
The proliferation of ‘criminal justice talk’ – the number of words that are spoken and written about ‘crime’ and ‘criminal justice’ – in politics, media outlets, academia, and public policy is ever increasing and ever more widely accessible. This ‘debating’ section attempts to kick off a discussion about the use of criminal justice language which we can hopefully continue within the pages of cjm as well as through our Works for Freedom website.
The idea for this came from discussions at the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies about the language we use in our day-to-day work. Whether it is drafting a strategic plan or funding application, writing up research or, indeed, editing cjm , we have to think carefully about language in the communication of ideas and engaging in public debate. At one level, it should be easy – just say what you see and do it in simple and easily understood terms. However, this is more challenging when attempting to foster critical thinking about issues relating to crime and justice. In an arena so dominated by stereotypes, prejudices, and mystification about how the system operates and who or what it targets, it seemed relevant to open up a discussion on this. So, we approached a number of writers to ask for their views.
Frances Crook, Jonathan Simon, and Mike Nellis look at the uses and abuses of the term ‘offender’. Crook argues that the label is demeaning and counterproductive and calls on the voluntary sector to lead the way in challenging the use of language about people caught up in the criminal justice system. Jonathan Simon is also critical of the term ‘offender’ and takes issue with describing people by one aspect of their behaviour and discusses some alternatives. Mike Nellis defends the use of ‘offender’ in probation practice and highlights its popularisation in the 1960s as an alternative to terms such as ‘criminal’ and ‘delinquent’. Nellis argues that ‘treating people with respect and dignity regardless of what they have done, and finding words to match, is always important, but not necessarily straightforward’.
Lizzie Seal looks at representations of women accused of murder and how they are often framed in terms of ‘perverse’ sexuality in a bid to emphasise their apparent deviation from the ‘norm’. Nils Christie and Simon Pemberton look at crime and harm. Christie highlights the increasing number of acts that are defined as criminal and the negative impact of social isolation and distance in terms of framing behaviour and actions, and how they are subsequently interpreted and dealt with. Simon Pemberton argues that we should look beyond individual acts and ‘offences’ and use a social harm approach to interpret and interrogate social structures and how they create and reproduce harm.
It would be difficult to institute timeless and unchanging rules about what language can and cannot be used. New terms that may seem value free can soon become coopted and value laden. The popularity of words and phrases will shift over time – for good and bad. In reflecting on the discussion in the debating section, the message that comes through is the importance of being searching and reflective in our use of language.
In conclusion, I offer three possible things to consider when engaging in discussion and debate about criminal justice. The first is the human aspect – remembering at all times that when we talk about offenders, victims, deviants, criminals, or research subjects – all are human beings first. Secondly, it is important to encourage accuracy in defining our terms of reference. For example, there is a strong tendency towards talking about crime and criminal justice in very loose terms. Are we talking about all illegal acts? If not, which ones are we particularly interested in, and why? Those that come to the attention of the police? Are we talking about shoplifting or sexual assault or widespread harmful and illegal practices of the banking sector? When we talk about ‘offenders’, who and what are we talking about? The final point is about how best to foster and encourage critical understanding – thinking critically about the implications of using certain terms and the assumptions underlying them. Viewing certain social ‘problems’ through a ‘crime’ lens tends to imply the criminal justice system as the primary mechanism through which certain social ‘problems’ are viewed and dealt with.
Exploring and debating definitions is more than a merely ‘academic’ exercise. From an early age we are given words and labels to describe the world around us. They are important tools to help interpret and explain our surroundings and feelings – the concrete and abstract. At one level, a common sense approach of using language that those around us understand needs no explanation. But, the words and phrases we use contain signals about gender, class, power, and the nature of social relations. If we want to understand criminal justice it is also important to understand the way in which the public discourse about it is constructed – and to encourage reflective and critical discussion.
This is not a call for stripping away meaning from words. As emphasised by Stan Cohen (1985) in studying the professional discourse around social control, he calls for an exploration of what he describes as ‘Controltalk’ – and warns against overly sanitising the language we use. Making coercive interventions sound non-coercive and ‘nice’, it can help to obscure the harsh realities of confinement and control. But ultimately, the point is to be careful in our use of language, because as Cohen argues, ‘such a project of self awareness might help to clarify the moral, tactical and political choices in working out a policy… I would always prefer a form of justice in which values, conflicts and injustices become open and visible’ (Cohen, 1985).
It's not so much the words themselves that are good or bad. It is their meaning and associations that matter. Social problems exist as do the people that experience them – how we name and frame these problems and the people involved is important and should be at the forefront of our thinking when engaging in research, policy, and public debate.
Labelling people as offenders is demeaning and counter-productive
by Frances Crook
A summer article in The Guardian reported on recent research from the UK Drugs Policy Commission that the use of stigmatising terms such as ‘junkie’ was a major obstacle to recovery for problem drug users. This can hardly be a surprise to anyone who has worked with people with any sort of health, mental health, or social problem, however, it may be a revelation to politicians. For too long it is has been easy for politicians to treat certain sections of the population as ‘other’, implying that they are less than human. Insulting labels that define the action or illness as if it defines the whole person inhibit that individual from confronting the problem and moving on; just as importantly, the label prevents us from understanding as it becomes all we see.
The Howard League conducted in-depth interviews with young adults in prison a few years ago, and they told us clearly that the first step towards a crime-free life was no longer to be labelled an offender. They had to see themselves as something different, and other people had to help them make that transition.
Someone who commits an offence is not an offender; they are someone who has done something. The action does not define the whole person. They may also do good things and they will certainly fit into other categories that can offer a different definition like parent or friend. By insisting that the offence overcomes all other parts of the person we are condemning them to a sub-human category for whom there is no hope.
The last government created a whole industry of services for offenders. There are skills for offenders, education for offenders, and work for offenders. Huge numbers of people are employed to deliver services at these unfortunate people. Of course, it was part of the scheme of things that offenders are not deserving of having any say in the quality or style of services, as they have had their citizenship diluted to the point of abstraction.
It is time to move away from this so that the criminal justice system itself and its terminology are circumscribed. People who have committed offences have just the same right to education and employment as anyone else, and whilst they do face additional and sometimes extraordinary challenges, redressing that should simply be built into all mainstream provision.
Just as the language about disability has been transformed and services have been adapted to include people with disabilities, so our language about people who have committed offences must change. It is up to the voluntary sector to lead the way.
A strategy for writing in criminology and law and society work
by Jonathan Simon
Anyone writing in criminology or law and society scholarship in the post labelling/Foucault generations is generally haunted by the problem of what to call the subjects of criminal justice processing and punishment (as you can see I'm fighting myself to delay the moment when it becomes incumbent). We know that when we move from an adjective for conduct to using that adjective for the name of the subjects we are associating with that conduct (whether by legal or scientific procedure) we are producing a potentially consequential ‘truth effect’ that we are, however modestly involved in what Ian Hacking memorably called ‘making people up’.
The two most famous/infamous are criminal and homosexual. To take the latter first, the move from describing sexual conduct as ‘homosexual’, meaning between two people of the same sex, to talking about ‘homosexuals’ involves the assumption that the conduct defines a constitutive characteristic of the subject involved such that whether that person is an out Gay man engaged in full and open life within a big city Gay community, or a married Tory minister involved in an occasional and discrete liaison with a handsome young protégé, there is a continuity of character strong enough to be the defining identity of that person. When we move from describing conduct as ‘criminal’ to speaking of a person as a ‘criminal’, we are likewise assuming a sovereign character trait that can be traced into the subject's developmental past, and used to predict their future behaviour.
The fact that many and probably most contemporary social scientists would feel uncomfortable making this kind of transfer of meaning is a dramatic shift from the early and even mid-twentieth century forms of social science. It divides us from our ancestors who felt their job was making people up correctly (think about Lombroso as well as his competitors) and it is a tremendous legacy for the generation of scholars that included Michel Foucault, David Matza, Howard Becker, and Jeffrey Weeks just to name a few. Yet, many of us do it in language.
The solution, promoted for years now by activists and lawyers is to talk about ‘people engaged in homosexual conduct’ or ‘people engaged in criminal conduct’. This works fine enough conceptually, but it leaves us with a writing problem. Using the formulation, ‘people engaged in criminal conduct’ over and over again, in an article about people who commit crimes, is wearying. Since I do not see a good conceptual way out of this problem, I prefer to adopt some writing strategies. Since ‘people’ or ‘men’ or ‘women’ etc. ‘engaged in criminal conduct’ deconstructs the very idea of a ‘criminal type’, it buys us some freedom to use other words for literary benefit, so long as we are careful not to choose words that affirmatively mystify but reinvesting in the made up subject of crime. Thus it seems fine to me to refer to ‘defendants’, ‘convicts’, or ‘prisoners’, when those more or less legal terms appropriately apply (throw in arrestee, detainee).
Unlike the dreaded ‘al’ terms, terms ending in ‘ts’ or ‘rs’ are a well know and comfortable way of referring to people by their ‘occupations’. We talk about lawyers, doctors, dentists, and bankers at will, without fear we are making subjects up. Our culture retains the sense that one's occupation is an important but not defining source of identity. The productive sociological notion of a ‘career’ once again recommends this. We can think of someone's time in prison, or time engaged in criminal behaviour, as a part of a career in the sense of a body of experience that helps to structure their future but does not determine it.
Using language in practice
by Mike Nellis
When the term ‘offender’ was popularised by Nacro (the National Association for the Care and Resettlement of Offenders) in the 1960s it was talked up on the understanding that it was less moralistic and less stigmatising than ‘criminal’ or ‘delinquent’, less portentous than ‘lawbreaker’ and less condescending than ‘probationer’. It wasn't new, but of the limited range of words around, it was relatively neutral in its connotations. It has remained surprisingly serviceable in this respect, relatively immune to the infusions of loathing and contempt that can indeed poison our penal vocabularies. The tabloids rarely use it; except when prefaced by ‘sex’, it's not a term that's easily freighted with outrage or hate. Like ‘prisoner’ (which has never been fully displaced by the euphemism ‘inmate’) ‘offender’ has retained a simple literal meaning – someone who has committed an offence. As such, it provides minimal linguistic justification for the formal, court-ordered involvement of a probation officer in a person's life, in a way that both the old term ‘client’ and the newer term ‘service user’ shy away from.
From a probation standpoint, no one is ever an ‘offender’ and nothing more. It denotes what people are, not just what they do, but it's not a totalising identity. Other facets of their lives and personalities can remain in play around and alongside it – father, daughter, partner, comedian, mate, cook, dancer, builder, whatever – all as much if not more important than the often temporary status of ‘offender’. To consider, or even call, someone an ‘offender’ does not intrinsically preclude thinking of them as a complex and vulnerable person or feeling warmly or respectful towards them. It does not necessarily impede empathy or limit one's capacity to imagine what it might be like to be them, or even to imagine doing what they have done – though that does depend somewhat on what the offence was. It need not mean that someone who has offended may not also be, or have been, a victim or survivor.
Treating people with respect and dignity regardless of what they have done, and finding words to match, is always important, but not necessarily straightforward. Sentimentality and the anodyne, sanitising language that goes with it is as much to be avoided as the moralism which insidiously humiliates and imprisons people in roles and identities from which they need to distance themselves if they are to live good lives. There are probably no words that are entirely immune from debasement in some form or context – and some words that probation has toyed with, like ‘perpetrator’, were doomed from the start – but for now ‘offender’ retains its utility in the complex ‘identity work’ that probation officers do with people who have committed crimes.
Different people need different responses. Some who come the way of probation shamelessly disavow criminal identities – rapist, for example – and need pressing to accept that aspect of who they are, as a precursor to taking responsibility for harm done. Others spend lifetimes sombrely regretting that they once committed murder, indelibly stained in their own eyes. Yet others may never have had – or had and rejected – conventional familial or occupational identities, and actually draw strength and purpose from an overriding criminal, sometimes violent, identity, preferring to be more feared than loved. They may resent and disdain the efforts of well-meaning probation officers to get them to think differently about themselves, and even if they do desist, may never fully repudiate what they have been in the past – anymore than the rest of us can. One can be an ‘ex-offender’ (or even an ‘ex-con’) without losing self-respect.
Women, murder and narratives of femininity
by Lizzie Seal
The language used to portray women accused of murder is frequently lurid and stereotypical. It can be especially shocking when women stand accused of such crimes as it violates idealised notions of femininity as conformist and nurturing. A recent example is the fascination sparked by the trial and conviction of Amanda Knox, a young American woman, for the sexual assault and murder of British exchange student, Meredith Kercher, in Perugia, Italy. Meredith was killed in 2007, although the convictions of Amanda and her Italian boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, were not secured until 2009. A story about Amanda Knox posted on the Daily Mail's website describes her as having a ‘wild, raunchy past’, which included drinking and soft drug use, and quotes university acquaintances who label her a ‘man-eater’. Amanda's supposed sexual insatiability was also central to the Italian prosecution's argument that she stabbed Meredith to death after Meredith refused to participate in a sex game with Raffaele and another man, Rudy Guede.
The perceived link between abnormal or excessive sexuality in women and a capacity for violence is an enduring one. Martha Beck and her boyfriend, Raymond Fernandez, were executed in New York in 1951 for murdering two women and a child. They were known as the ‘Lonely Hearts Killers’ because they found their victims through the personal ads. Important to the trial was Martha's argued sexual perversity, evidenced by her enjoyment of oral sex. The 1958 English case of Yvonne Jennion, who was found guilty of murdering her aunt, revolved around discussion of her sexuality and whether as a ‘female homosexual’ she could be regarded as a psychopathic personality (Seal, 2010). The recurrence of sexual deviance as an explanation for violence by women means that it can be understood as a ‘stock story’ that perpetuates restrictive views of acceptable female sexuality.
Although doubts surround the safety of Amanda Knox's conviction, the use of stereotypical narratives of femininity in the media and criminal justice system is not troubling solely because it may contribute to a wrongful conviction. In the case of Yvonne Jennion it was the defence that sought to prove she was a psychopathic personality in order to win a verdict of manslaughter instead of murder (it did not succeed). The stories told during and about cases of murder communicate the values and assumptions of the era in which they take place – in the 1950s, ‘homosexuality’ was considered abnormal. The language used in the cases of Amanda Knox, Martha Beck, and Yvonne Jennion provides us with information about norms of femininity – what is perceived as the correct and appropriate behaviour for women.
What counts as acceptable or deviant does, of course, change according to place and time. It would be unlikely that a woman's enjoyment of oral sex would be offered as an example of her ‘perversity’ in a murder trial in the present-day United States. Disagreement over the language employed to describe the gender of women accused of murder also highlights the shifting boundaries of appropriateness. The portrayal of Amanda Knox as sexually ‘promiscuous’ has been contested, with many arguing that her supposedly ‘wild’ lifestyle was neither shocking nor unusual, but normal behaviour for a 20 year old university student. Stories of women accused of murder are a cultural barometer of assumptions and arguments about the meanings of gender.
Social harm and the politics of capitalist crisis

Language is fundamental to how we reach an understanding of the harms we face in our daily lives. Indeed powerful ideologies, such as crime, exist to tell us exactly what and whom we should fear, with these discourses focused disproportionately on the least powerful groups in our society. Such discourses serve to draw our attention from the very serious harms produced by the state and corporate organisations and the damaging behaviours of the powerful. Yet, as the current recession highlights, the very organisation of our society in accordance with specific vested interests, can also produce serious and widespread harms, such as poverty, unemployment, and homelessness. The language of responsibility constructed in relation to structural harms is crucial to our understanding of their causes and how we should best respond to them. Such discussions, in the wake of the credit crunch have been inevitably highly politicised, as they necessarily entail subjecting the very organisation of our societies to scrutiny. The terms of this debate have shifted dramatically. Thus, whilst critiques surfaced following the credit crunch in relation to ‘casino capitalism’ these soon passed and were replaced by calls to reform a ‘bloated and costly’ public sector. Ironically, what began as a critique of neo-liberal forms of capitalist organisation, have been turned full circle to re-affirm the central tenets of this ideology providing the basis on which the social state may be dismantled – the very structures that could serve to ameliorate the impact of the harms detailed above.
Underpinning the prevailing neo-liberal language of responsibility is a set of assumptions about intentionality drawn from the liberal philosopher, Friedrich Hayek. For Hayek, market outcomes could not be considered unjust as the harms that result from them are unintended; for example, poor business decisions that result in unemployment. Furthermore, Hayek argued, as no consensus could ever be reached over the reallocation of social resources to ameliorate the consequences of harmful market consequences, there remains no just basis for a state to interfere in such outcomes. Whilst, Hayek's logic has not been followed to its ultimate conclusion in this instance, it clearly influences the current ‘common sense’ position toward the role of the state. An important critique of these ideas can be found in the work of Raymond Plant, which asserts that structural harms should be considered to be unjust, exactly because they are foreseeable and, therefore, preventable. To illustrate this point, in anticipation of the public sector cuts to be announced in the Comprehensive Spending Review, a number of analyses have demonstrated the harms that will result, alongside those communities that will bear the brunt of these cuts (see, for example, the Institute for Fiscal Studies Briefing Note BN108 and the TUC report Where the Money Goes). Given the awareness of these analyses, these potential structural harms are entirely foreseeable and, indeed, avoidable. They are avoidable exactly because alternative policy options are available to the coalition. Rather, it would appear that these harms are considered the ‘price worth paying’ to satisfy the demands of the international credit rating agencies. However, we should remind ourselves that other nations are running larger public debts than our own and have not felt the need to acquiesce to such demands. Alternative policy options exist, however, the construction of the current crisis serves to promote the interests of the financial markets at the expense of the vulnerable.
…powerful ideologies, such as crime, exist to tell us exactly what and whom we should fear, with these discourses focused disproportionately on the least powerful groups in our society.
Crime does not exist
by Nils Christie
Words can create bridges between people: beautiful and useful bridges that bring ideas, emotions, and understanding back and forth. But words can also function as barriers.
Some words are so big that they contain everything, and therefore nothing. We do not understand more when such concepts are used; we understand less and give thereby free room for manoeuvre to all sorts of political or professional authorities.
‘Crime’ is one of these words. We do not understand more by using this concept, we understand less. If we want to create a type of society where citizens participate, we need to describe deplorable acts in minute detail and with small words from the daily vocabulary.
Acts do not simply exist, they become. For all acts, including those seen by most people as unwanted, there are dozens of possible alternative ways of understanding them – bad, mad, evil, misplaced honour, youth bravado, political heroism – or crime. The ‘same’ acts can thus be met within several parallel systems as judicial, psychiatric, pedagogical, theological – or simply by understandings valid among family and friends.
Social and/or physical distance is of particular importance in how we attach meaning to particular acts. Persons close to me are mostly not seen as criminals. I see them too well; understand the reasons for their acts. But family life is only one of several examples of social conditions of a sort that creates resistance against perceiving acts as crimes and persons as criminals.
To refrain from the use of big abstract terms is more important in our time than ever before. We have created types of social life where we know each other less and less as whole human beings. Where we earlier could evaluate and react towards unwanted acts, we must now in our ignorance call in state power in the form of police. Back in the 1950s, some 30,000 cases were officially handled as ‘crimes’ in Norway. Now it is close to 300,000. This does not necessarily mean that the amount of unwanted acts have increased in this period. But it means that we now live under social conditions where most of us have lost close contact with the acts and actors, and thereby also lose the possibility to create our own interpretations of what happens. In such a situation it is particularly important to be presented with simple concrete terms in the description of the occurrences. We need detailed storytelling, not references to empty categories as ‘crime’.
‘Crime’ and ‘criminals’ are strong terms with large abilities to stick to persons. They etch other understandings of the acts and the humans behind the labels. They hide other understandings for interpretation of the acts and the humans behind the label. I have never met people – when I come close to them – who are only criminals. They are, as most of us, a mixture of good and bad. Some, maybe all, are walking mysteries. But some might have committed and are serving sentences for something terrible, and then all other aspects are overshadowed by the concept of that act or for the personality type he or she is found to be.
Destructive words will often blossom among the many professionals so central in defining how humans are to be understood and governed: The psychopath, the paedophile, the manicdepressive …
Destructive words will often blossom among the many professionals so central in defining how humans are to be understood and governed: The psychopath, the paedophile, the manic-depressive, the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder-child; the diagnostic manuals are filled to the brim. My alternative would be to tell the whole story.
And how would I like to have the supposed behavioural expert to describe those they work with?
As whole persons, described in old-fashioned, pre-professional terms. Described so thoroughly that they became unsuitable for categorisation. I want to know something, concretely, on what occurred, and about the persons. Small words put together in small stories are particularly well suited to give us such knowledge. The big words from the toolbox of various professionals will often close both for insight in what happened and for informed social participation.
But without their language, experts would lose both authority and efficiency!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nicklas Backstrom isn’t leaving the team he lifted the Stanley Cup with and is getting paid handsomely to stick around for the long haul.
The Washington Capitals on Tuesday signed Backstrom to a $46 million, five-year contract extension that locks him up through the 2024-25 season. The playmaking Swedish center will count $9.2 million against the salary cap when this contract kicks in next season, a significant raise from his current team-friendly deal.
“I had one goal in mind, and that was to stay here,” Backstrom said at a news conference. “I love the city, I love the fans and love the organization, so it was no doubt in my mind. It would be really weird to put on a different jersey.”
There was little doubt Backstrom and the Capitals would get a deal done before the 32-year-old could become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. Along with captain Alex Ovechkin, Backstrom has been a cornerstone of the franchise for more than a decade. He was a key part of the 2018 Cup run and his No. 19 jersey will someday hang in the rafters.
“I wasn’t expecting a whole lot when I first got drafted,” Backstrom said. “Ever since, it’s been a journey.”
Backstrom and Ovechkin have played more than 900 games together since Backstrom’s NHL debut in 2007 and became one of hockey’s most dynamic duos during this era.
“It’s nice to be with a guy on the same team so many years,” Ovechkin said. “You can ask anybody in this locker room or previous guys who played. First of all, he’s tremendous person and an unbelievable center. To be around him and see how he’s grown up, how he’s matured, it’s great.”
Backstrom is the Capitals’ franchise leader in assists and has put up 908 points in 934 regular-season games. He recorded 23 points in 20 playoff games during Washington’s Cup run and has been a part of 11 playoff appearances in 12 years.
Ovechkin wears the “C,” but Backstrom has built up years of respect and admiration from teammates as a leader.
“Because of how he plays and how he carries himself, his word has some backbone to it,” said former Capitals defenseman Matt Niskanen, who now plays for Philadelphia. “He has a lot of credibility because of the things he’s accomplished, and he plays the game the right way. He’s a really solid 200-foot player, which is what you want from your stars.”
This season, Backstrom has nine goals and 26 assists for 35 points. He’s the only active player to have 50-plus assists in each of the past six seasons.
“I think he already is one of the all-time greats that’s ever played here,” team president Dick Patrick said. “He’s just the type of player that you want to stay forever.”
Much like Ovechkin did with his $124 million, 13-year contract signed in 2008 — with help from his mother — Backstrom negotiated this deal himself. He’ll be 37 when it’s over, leaving open the possibility of another contract for a player who seems like he’ll finish his career with the Capitals.
“I’m still not super, super old,” Backstrom said. “But the main reason that I wanted to stay here is we have a chance to win again. As a hockey player, that’s all you think about.”
Ovechkin almost certainly will play his entire NHL career with Washington, and his contract status is one of two situations worth watching now that Backstrom is signed. The Russian superstar who’s on the verge of reaching 700 goals is signed through next season, so he and the Capitals could sign an extension as early as this summer.
Keeping Backstrom around and likely re-upping Ovechkin are obvious moves for the Capitals, who face a different situation with pending free agent goaltender Braden Holtby. The 2016 Vezina Trophy winner could leave this summer because Washington is up against the salary cap and has top prospect Ilya Samsonov already in the NHL and looking like he’s capable of becoming a starter.
“It is tricky,” MacLellan said. “Holtby’s a big part of our success as an organization and he’s in the mix with Ovi and Nick as defining our organization. I think we had an open communication at the beginning of the year and then we were going to address it at the end of the year to see where we’re at with cap and possibilities or not possibilities. So we’re going to play it out.”
Even with 2018 playoff leading scorer Evgeny Kuznetsov signed long term and Lars Eller under contract, the Capitals didn’t have a successor for Backstrom, a point-a-game center who has helped Ovechkin become the best goal-scorer of this generation.
“I’m more of a passer, and he’s a pure-goal scorer, I think,” Backstrom said. “That’s why it’s worked out so good.”

Another false, inflated, misleading statistic.We should be used to them by now.
The most infamous, of course, is the “frightening and high” recidivism risk assigned to those on the registry every time a politician opens his mouth to justify a new law or restriction targeting registrants. RSOL has dealt with that one in re-printing Steve Yoder’s excellent piece on the subject not long ago.
With “rape culture” proponents coming out of the woodwork, this statistic continues to show up: one in five women in college will be raped during her time there. This too has been debunked for the nonsense that it is, but it, like “frightening and high,” continues to be repeated and is often “rounded down” to one in four. What parent would send a daughter off to college if she stood a 20 – 25% chance of being raped while there?
Every time the Super Bowl rolls around, or any other venue drawing a large national audience, we are inundated by announcements of vast numbers of “trafficked sex workers” converging on the city where the event is being hosted. The numbers generally hover somewhere around the 50,000 mark, give or take a few thousand. That also has been exposed as massively over inflated, to the point of being called a myth, but it hasn’t slowed the funds being apportioned to law enforcement and anti-trafficking agencies to fight this scourge.
Now the number-inflators have managed to converge two high-interest topics – sex and children – into one guaranteed to terrify every parent in Ohio and, by extension, every other state as well. U.S. Rep. Joyce Beatty of Ohio has just announced that, each year in that state, 1000 children are sold into sex slavery and over 3000 more are “at risk.” A very thorough explanation of the faulty calculations and reasoning that produced these numbers is given here and here.
The disparity between these numbers, which appear on many Ohio government websites, and the reality is startling. The most recent report of the Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force shows “181 potential victims of trafficking were identified statewide in 2014 after almost 100 stings to bust sex traffickers — and this tally is not limited just to children.”
Whether it be the percentage of young women assaulted in college, the true re-offense risk of registrants living in the community, or the actual degree to which sex trafficking poses a threat to our children or our football games, inflating numbers for political, sensational, or financial gain is not in the public’s interest. These tactics divert focus and resources away from measures and strategies that would actually serve public safety and better protect children and all citizens. We need truth in facts, and when something is presented as a fact, we need to be able to trust it is true.
This should not be too much to ask.

Teaching excellence recognised with AAUT awards
Congratulations to Dr Simon Iveson, Associate Professor Amy Maguire and Dr Marcus Rodrigs who were awarded Citations for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning at the 2019 Australian Awards for University Teaching held in Canberra last week.
The Australian Awards for University Teaching (AAUT) were established in 1997 by the Australian Government to celebrate and reward excellence in university teaching.
Citations for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning are awarded across four categories:
- Approaches to teaching and the support of learning that influence, motivate and inspire students to learn.
- Development of curricula, resources or services that reflect a command of the field.
- Evaluation practices that bring about improvements in teaching and learning.
- Innovation, leadership or scholarship that has influenced and enhanced learning and teaching and/or the student experience.
About the winners
Dr Simon Iveson, School of Engineering
Dr Simon Iveson from the School of Engineering has been teaching across engineering and chemical engineering for almost 20 years. He has a strong focus on practical methods.
“I aim to improve student experiences by being professional in all that I do as a lecturer and making class time as interactive as possible using a variety of teaching techniques and technologies,” Dr Iveson said.
Associate Professor Amy McGuire, Newcastle Law School
After a decade teaching international law and human rights law, Dr Maguire received her citation for engaging students in real-world human rights practice and empowering students to pursue law reform and social justice.
“I aim to expose students to Indigenised and culturally-sensitive programs in ways that influence their overall experience of higher education and influence their contributions to the legal profession,” Dr Maguire said.
Dr Marcus Rodrigs, Newcastle Business School
Dr Rodrigs has been teaching accounting for the past 11 years at the University of Newcastle and said it was his duty as an academic to encourage students to excel.
“At the centre of my approach is a strongly held belief that genuine learning comes from deep engagement, which comes from creating a classroom climate where students are empowered to learn for themselves,” Dr Rodrigs said.

Washington — Think propane and butane are just for barbecuing? Think again: The common cooking fuels can also chill your drinks and ice cream with less energy and almost none of the global warming worries of current refrigerants.
Some of the world’s largest consumer product companies are promoting freezers and refrigerators in the U.S. that use propane, butane and other coolants that don’t trap heat in the atmosphere as much as Freon and other conventional refrigerants.
The new so-called hydrocarbon coolers — popular in Europe — are being tested by Ben & Jerry’s ice cream company at stores in the Washington and Boston areas. Meanwhile, General Electric is seeking approval to market a home refrigerator in the U.S. using a hydrocarbon refrigerant.
The new freezers take advantage of the way hydrocarbon gases absorb heat when they change from a liquid to a gas. It’s the same process when a propane tank becomes cool to the touch when you’re using it with a gas grill. The hydrocarbon refrigerant is compressed and expanded as it makes its way through the compressor and tubes surrounding the freezer.
Unlike car exhaust or power plant pollution that’s spewed directly into the air, the coolants used in most U.S. refrigerators today only enter the atmosphere when their compressors leak, or when appliances are thrown out and their refrigerant eventually escapes.
If hydrocarbons are accidentally released into the atmosphere, their effect on trapping heat is about 1,400 times less than conventional refrigerants, said Pete Gosselin, director of engineering for Ben & Jerry’s.
The fuels are flammable, of course, but current models only use the amount contained in two or three cigarette lighters. Electronic components are designed to prevent igniting a possible leak.
“It’s extremely potent,” Gosselin said. “And as the world develops, especially in developing nations, refrigeration use is one of the first technologies that comes on board.”
The appliances cost about the same as similar conventional freezers and use about 10 percent less electricity.
“And that turns out to be a huge gain in terms of your carbon footprint, that 10 percent gain in efficiency,” Gosselin said. “Every kilowatt hour that comes in the wall, comes in with a certain amount of CO2 footprint with it and if you can knock 10 percent off that, that’s huge.”
The U.S. will be playing catch-up. Unilever, which has more than 2 million ice cream cabinets worldwide, including 100,000 in the United States, now has more than 400,000 hydrocarbon-based units in Europe, Latin America and Asia, Gosselin said.
About 42,000 bottle vending machines using hydrocarbons or carbon dioxide as refrigerant also have been installed in China, Europe and Latin America by Coca-Cola, Carlsberg and PepsiCo. And McDonald’s has opened two pilot restaurants in Denmark that don’t use traditional refrigerants, according to the Refrigerants, Naturally Web site.
The Environmental Protection Agency, which allowed Ben & Jerry’s to test the new coolers, has already completed a preliminary review on the freezers, as well as the new GE refrigerator. It expects to make a proposed rule on the machines available for public comment later this year, and a final decision could be issued by early next year, said Drusilla Hufford, director of the EPA’s Stratospheric Protection Division.

I had a casual 1000+ words written out for this post, which was intended to be a light-hearted take on the positives of moving out – I’ve now scrapped that (although I’m sure the same content will pop up at some point this week), opened a new document on Pages and started again.
And the reason I’ve started again, is that there’s something larger that I want to say about this set of photos. I’ve spoken before about feeling uneasy about summer dressing before, and I started the year with a piece which loudly and proudly declared that 2017 was my year of being fat and happy. No holds barred, no treats forbidden, and certainly no late night self-loathing.
Thanks to a combination of contraception, a boyfriend and the fact that I am simply eating more and caring less, I have put on weight. If you’ve kept up with my blog for a while, you’ll probably be able to see the difference, but up until around the last two months, I hadn’t really noticed anything too dramatic. Even now, to be fair, I’m still a size 10, but I can see in photos that my face is rounder, my arms are chubbier, I’m not quite as slim from the side as I was before.
It’s hard to look at photos of yourself sometimes, especially when you can see yourself changing before your eyes. Over the past two months, when reviewing photos, I’ve had various moments of “oh fuck, is that what I really look like?”, followed by whipping my top off and taking a quick once-over in the mirror to see how close to reality it is. Whereas previously I would have spiralled into a pit of self-hatred before, I now try really hard to take a step back, take a deep breath and move on from the thought.
Side note: negative thoughts about your body image or yourself as a person are like tampons. The more they get, the more they soak up and the bigger they become. Let’s just say I’m trying to keep the flow light this year.
Nevertheless, I do have moments where I’m struggling. I look at these photos and I see that my face is chubbier and I see that the sleeves of my t-shirt fall at the widest part of my arm, amplifying what is already a real problem area for me. I see that my legs could only ever dream of a thigh-gap, I see that my knees are, weirdly, fatter than ever and I see that in terms of my body shape, I don’t look like a lot of other bloggers.
And what you guys see in the blog post is the finished result – 10-15 images that have been edited and uploaded as the best of the bunch. I, on the other hand, see 150-200+ of these, and it’s like 200+ reminders of the things that make me feel self-conscious about yourself. Any nugget in my head about the ugliness of my weight is poked and poked 200 times over, backed up by the worry that people look at me and think “she thinks she’s skinnier than she is”.
I guess this post is a mini PSA to say that even those who champion positive body perceptions still have bad body days. Moving past your learned idea of the ‘ideal’ body is a journey (v. soppy, v. cliche but v. true), and sometimes, along the way, you fall down. More than waving a little arm in the air and shouting “hey, I get upset too!”, I wanted to show that even though my Instagram page may be all nice clothes and sassy attitudes, I do still feel bad about my body from time to time. Just because I wrote a post in February that said I wasn’t going to care about my weight anymore, doesn’t mean that change happened in an instant. I’m working towards it, but it’s definitely a process.
I think, though, what I really wanted to reflect on is that we give so much credence to the negative perceptions of our body that one bad element – whether that’s a bad photo, a bad comment, a bad angle – completely overpowers anything good. When I went through these photos this morning, I came close to binning them all and then spent the rest of the day contemplating the gym and which trainers are you supposed to wear there?? and God I really need to stop eating bread! Gone were good feelings I had on Friday thanks to fresh new hair and some relatively clear skin – nope, that was all wiped, thanks to my chubby little arms and tiny sausage fingers.
We all too often roll the red carpet out for the first criticism that pops into our head and let it live rent free, burning away, whilst anything remotely positive gets an instant substitution. Even though I have more good days than bad, still when I see a super slim blogger lounging on the beaches of Bali, I find the question of “am I wasting my best body years?” creeping in and becoming king of the roost.
But I understand that me accepting my weight gain and actually saying “no, I’m not trying to change this” goes against the grain of everything I’ve ever been taught, so the process, unsurprisingly isn’t going to be easy. I just wanted to share with you that I have really shitty days too, to share a little bit of my less-aspirational, haven’t-showered-yet-today human side. This post may well have been a totally jumbled, slightly incomprehensible mixed bag of thoughts, but hopefully you managed to keep up with me and hopefully, even a little bit of it resonated with you.
Until next time lovelies x

An exceptional horologist, Ferdinand Berthoud left behind a work of immense scope in the fields of marine chronometers, decorative watches and clocks, specialist tools, and scientific measuring instruments. In addition, Berthoud authored many books on horology, comprising over 4,000 pages with engraved plates.
Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud draws inspiration from the remarkable heritage of the Swiss master watchmaker while giving his work a contemporary twist. Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the accession in 1770 of Ferdinand Berthoud to the title of "Clockmaker and Mechanic by appointment to the French King and Navy," Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud recently unveiled a new collection of watches – the Chronomètre FB 2RE. At the October 2020 lecture of the Horological Society of New York, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele and Vincent Lapaire will discuss the history of this pioneer of marine chronometry, and explain in detail the innovation seen in the new Chronomètre FB 2RE.
Profoundly fascinated by the history of art and watchmaking, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele is the driving force behind the Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud, of which he is President.
Born in Germany in 1958, he was raised in Pforzheim until the age of 15. In 1963, when his family took over the Chopard watch Manufacture in Geneva, he enrolled at Geneva International School. He later served an apprenticeship with a Geneva jeweler before continuing his studies at the University of Lausanne Business and Economics Faculty and preparing to join the family firm.
In 1996, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele founded Chopard Manufacture and opted to focus on the production of finely crafted mechanical movements. The company is based in Fleurier, in the Val-de-Travers.
In 2006, when inaugurating a watchmaking museum in Fleurier named "L.U.CEUM – Trace of Time," he also acquired the rights to the name Ferdinand Berthoud, which he subsequently registered in 2013 as the Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud. His goal is to offer incomparable and resolutely contemporary watches reflecting the spirit of excellence cultivated by Ferdinand Berthoud.
Vincent Lapaire was born in 1964 in Zurich, Switzerland. He started his career in the Swiss watch industry in 1990 in the field of supply chain and project management. Passionate with arts and history and benefitting from proven experience in the watch development field, he joined the Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud in Fleurier (Switzerland) in 2011 as General Manager. He is currently in charge of the development of the brand under the leadership of Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, President and Co-President of the Chopard group, that is at the origin of the rebirth of the illustrious name of Ferdinand Berthoud, watchmaker-mechanic to the French King Louis XV and under the Empire.
HSNY lectures will be streamed live via Zoom for the foreseeable future, with no in-person gatherings. Webinar registration is required. All HSNY lectures are free and open to the public, and all are recorded. Recorded lectures are made available to HSNY members immediately, and the general public with a two-month delay.
HODINKEE is a sponsor of the Horological Society of New York.

Okay, maybe no need for such a dramatic title but it was certainly not for the faint-hearted and something I will remember for the rest of my life. During a liveaboard in Cuba, I was able to float nose to nose with El Nino the American crocodile, something I never thought I’d do.
As an experienced diver I am familiar with being in the presence of sharks, from reef sharks to larger more intimidating sharks. Diving with large sharks in numbers with the odd close encounter, you begin to see how they behave and their reaction to you as a diver, being this foreign species that was not born to be an ocean inhabitant. After a few sharky dives you develop a trust and understanding, learning how to conduct yourself around sharks becomes second nature, they become a familiar and welcome sight.
Crocodiles, on the other hand, are far from a familiar sighting and not even thought about when it comes to diving. When I saw this was a possibility at a location I was looking at booking, it really did seal the deal, then the countdown began.
Where in the world is this possible you may ask, while I’m sure similar encounters can be found elsewhere, mine took place in Cuba, in ‘La Jardines De La Reina’. The Gardens of the Queen, as it’s otherwise known, is a huge reef system on the south side of Cuba, with pristine reefs, plenty of sharks and beautiful surroundings. It really has to be the best of the Caribbean, being well preserved by limiting visiting diver numbers to the hundreds per year.
The days leading up to the liveaboard I was very excited, not only to see such a beautiful location underwater but about my future encounter and how it was going to play out. On board our boat the prospect of being in the water with a croc didn’t seem to be much of a talking point, however, for me it was going to be the highlight of the week.
After a few days diving we were moored in mangrove territory and I knew the introduction with Nino was drawing closer. We were told we would alternate so the other group would head out in the morning first thing and we would go after our morning dive. During the dive I was mostly wondering what was happening in the mangroves and whether the other group seeing him first would mean he would disappear after having his fill of human interaction for the day. Other thoughts would be wondering if crocodiles were like sharks in the sense you have a better chance of meeting them early morning.
As we returned to the main boat the others had just got back and were still standing around the dive deck, I was looking for excited, smiling faces of joy and achievement but saw none. It turns out El Nino had evaded them and was not to be seen after searching for the best part of an hour. Now I was nervous our chance to have this once in a lifetime experience was slipping away. I think the decision was made to wait a while before heading straight back out, and I’m glad we did…….
El Nino – The Encounter
After hoping and praying Nino would now be less busy, or more sociable and willing to be found by us, we set off on our hunt through the mangroves. After a few minutes of nothing but silence and the beauty of the mangroves, I was starting to feel hopeless again. We went round in a few circles and the crew started their chanting, “Nee nee ooo, nee nee ooo”, a tune I’m sure they had rehearsed together. Another 10 or 15 minutes went by with us singing Nino’s symphony, no sign of movement, no ripples, nothing…
We finally conceded unwillingly and started to head back to base, when just then, like some miracle, out of the middle of the mangroves comes the star of the show, it was El Nino! There he was, propelling his fine Jurassic self towards our boat, in that swaying motion these amphibians do so well. He was an American crocodile and a good size, between the 2.5 to 3 metre mark, not nearly as big as some crocs but for everyone on the boat, easily big enough! The time was now….
Everyone on the boat cheers and there’s a look of relief in captain’s eyes, we were about to do the unthinkable. It was a similar feeling to what I’d had before any potential life threatening activity like a bungee or parachute jump. It suddenly sinks in that we CHOSE to do this and were in the here and now, there was a crocodile within a metre from the boat and we were about to get into it’s domain for fun, thrills, photo ops, overcome some fear, all manner of possible reasons.
We get our snorkel gear on and camera gear ready, we are advised to slip into the water quietly on the other side of the boat. We get to witness Nino being lowered in some chicken and get first row seats watching as his huge powerful jaw snaps up the chicken and swallows it in an instant. While I don’t agree with feeding wild animals in this way, I was naive to think this kind of activity can happen any other way. As the first guest slips in, camera in hand, it becomes apparent none of the crew would be accompanying us to supervise what was about to happen. This was a little unsettling at first but in some ways reassuring, assuming it meant there was really zero chance if anything going wrong. Fortunately we were a small group, I was second in and soon had my solo interaction with Nino. It was a strange mix of feeling safe, with the crew being so nonchalant, while remembering that this is still a wild animal that by no means has to mimic it’s previous encounters by being relaxed, trading it’s being there for portions of chicken. As I dare to get closer, which in the end was very close, I think at one time I had my camera dome no more than 4 inches from his jaws. When you see the teeth from a snorkelling pov you really appreciate how big and intimidating they are, beginning to wonder what would happen if Nino decided he wanted to try something other than chicken. As I held onto the side of the boat, I could see others had now entered the water, no doubt this made me feel safer, after all this was unknown territory, I didn’t know what to do or not to do around these creatures. It was surreal being so close to him, especially with portions of chicken being lowered between us, thankfully his jaw-eye co-ordination was spot on.
It became a struggle holding onto the boat, a surprising amount of current ripped through the mangroves, trying it’s best to loosen my grip and wash me straight into Nino’s awaiting jaws. As he stayed in the same spot for the most part (where the chicken was being delivered), I felt the need to rotate for someone else so come into my position, but I could have stayed there for hours taking it all in. As I moved round to his side I could now see a new angle, his long muscly body and tail, a real life dinosaur. A few more minutes passed before it was time to get back on board, by the end we got to see him swim around a little, getting a little jittery whenever he came in close. We climbed back up onto the boat fully intact and waved Nino goodbye as we headed back to our larger vessel.
The experience with Nino was exceptional, I would have loved to go back another time and see him, he was a gentle giant. Although the rest of the diving was outstanding, this half an hour was a huge highlight of the trip and something truly unforgettable. Amongst all the excitement and moments of fear I was able to come away with some great shots too. Happy days!

One of the things I love most about scuba diving is the opportunity to interact with animals that show signs of intelligence and curiosity. Some special encounters leave me wondering what they are thinking, why are they reacting the way they are, what are they gaining from this social behaviour. In 2018 I had my […] […]

This last year of sports has focused on two main themes: the G.O.A.T. and social justice. From the Olympics to the death of a boxing icon to the Cleveland Cavaliers’ championship there have been frequent discussions about the G.O.A.T. Distinct from the type of goat that plagued the Cubs for over a century, G.O.A.T. stands for the athlete who is the “Greatest Of All Time.” Phelps, Bolt, Ali, and James all make compelling arguments. This year has also seen social justice intersect with the world of sport in more pointed and direct ways. This year saw a direct plea by top athletes at the ESPY Awards show, culminating in Colin Kaepernick’s (and others’) visible protests during the national anthem. As the G.O.A.T., football, and social justice collide, it is worth noting that the groundwork was paved for this long ago by a titan of the sports world, Jim Thorpe.
Without question, Thorpe has an astonishing resume: NFL Hall of Famer, Olympic gold medalist in the decathlon and pentathlon, and Major League Baseball player. He is what Bo Jackson was supposed to become had a tragic leg injury not derailed his career. The King of Sweden summarized Thorpe’s status by stating, “You, sir, are the greatest athlete in the world,” as he awarded him his Olympic gold medals in 1912. In 1950, the Associated Press named him the greatest athlete of the first half of the 20th century (and also the period’s greatest football player). In 2000, an ABC Sports poll named him the greatest athlete of the 20th century.
In addition to this unparalleled career the month of November recalls several events related to Thorpe that were important to the history of civil rights. Several months after his Olympic success, he went on to star in quite possibly the greatest football game ever played. It was a game which would feature a future president, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and would help make Pop Warner famous: the battle between the Carlisle Indians and US Army Academy on November 9, 1912. At that time, Native Americans and the U.S. government were at odds and continued to be so for over a decade after the game was played, so it was an athletic metaphor for the battles being waged daily. Most Native Americans were not given U.S. citizenship until 1924, and derogatory terms like “Redskin” littered sports pages and news to describe them. The Carlisle Indians’ shocking 27-6 upset of Army brought pride and respect to an oppressed people and helped to propel Thorpe into the history books.
Decades later, also in the month of November, 89 members of the Indians of all Tribes occupied Alcatraz. Thorpe’s daughter, Grace, was one of the leaders of this 19-month occupation that began in 1969 and was instrumental in bringing awareness to their protest by inviting celebrities to the island. Currently on Alcatraz, I have an art exhibition which is focused on several social justice issues and the island’s storied history.
One of the central messages is the need for the NFL to rid itself of the offensive word “Redskin.” Reflecting on Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.’s words “they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character,” it is mind boggling that over 50 years later, we still have the term “Redskins” emblazoned on football uniforms and fields. As my installation is also focused on irrationally long prison sentences, one of the dominant elements of the exhibit are 133 NFL football jerseys spelling out the first 266 digits of the number PI (the jerseys refer to the slang expression “football numbers”). I chose Washington’s team to feature the digits of pi related to the occupation (19 and 89) with the word “Redskins” covered with duct tape silencing this offensive term.
Is it too much to ask the NFL’s leadership to show basic dignity and respect to one of its greatest heroes with a name befitting this proud people as opposed to disparaging them?

Winnipeg International is found in the Canadian province of Manitoba, and is recognised by its IATA code of YWG. The airport is also officially known as the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson Airport, in honour of an influential businessman and pioneer of Canadian commercial aviation. The airport’s approximate 3.39 million passengers per annum have access to a rang of airline companies, and to a large number of facilities within the airport’s terminal building. Passengers on Winnipeg International Airport arrival flights also have access to a number of options for ground transportation.
The airport of Winnipeg is located just a few kilometres to the west of central Winnipeg, and is very nearby to the St. James Industrial area, Murray Industrial Park and Omand’s Creek Industrial. Areas just north of the airport include Tyndall Park, The Maples and Mandalay West, and areas to the south include King Edward, Tuxedo and South Tuxedo. The city of Winnipeg is surrounded by many smaller towns, such as Oakbank, Beausejour, Stonewall, Steinbach, Morris and Portage la Prairie, and is not far north of the border between Canada and the United States of America. On Winnipeg’s western side is the city of Brandon and Regina, in the province of Saskatchewan, and on the eastern side is the Whiteshell Provincial Park, as well as Kenora, in the province of Ontario.
Winnipeg offers departure flights to many locations, and also receives passengers from destinations in Canada, Mexico and the United States. The airport’s main airline companies are Kivallig Air, Perimeter Aviation, Calm Air, Air Canada Express and WestJet, and their flights arrive from Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, Regina, Saskatoon, Thompson, Churchill, Baker Lake, Sanikiluag, Gods River, Lynn Lake, Sandy Lake, Thunder Bay, Hamilton and Cancun, just to mention a few. Although the majority of airline companies arrive at the main terminal building of the airport, flights by Perimeter Airlines and Kivallig Air will arrive at one of the other two smaller terminal buildings. These buildings are also located on the airport grounds, and are a kilometre or two from the main building. The main terminal of the airport is not used by these two airline companies because they mostly operate smaller types of aircraft, which do not require the same facilities as the larger airplanes.
The main building of Winnipeg Airport is located in the south-eastern portion of the airport grounds, and is large enough to accommodate the number of passengers that pass through it on a daily basis. It is also a new building, having only opened at the end of October, 2011, and was selected by Travel Channel as one of the most iconic airport buildings in the world. The terminal holds a large number of shops and restaurants, including two duty-free stores, free Wi-Fi connections, currency exchange services, ATMs and information booths. Airport volunteers are also available in their gold or silver vests. Arriving passengers will find all that they require within the building, and can also hire a car from one of the Winnipeg International Airport car rental companies. They include Hertz, Budget, Avis, National, Enterprise, Alamo, Thrifty, Auto Europa, Dollar and Europcar.
Some of the other important airline companies at the airport are Air Canada, with flights from Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver, Air Transat, with flights from Regina, Saskatoon and Thunder Bay, Bearskin Airlines flying from Dryden, Fort Frances and Kenora and Sunwing Airlines with seasonal flights from Cancun, Holquin, Montego Bay, Puerto Vallarta and Varadero. From the United States, direct flights to Winnipeg Airport are offered from Minneapolis/St. Paul, Chicago, Denver, Orlando, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Palm Springs by the airline companies of WestJet, Express Jet Airlines, SkyWest Airlines and Compass Airlines.
A large percentage of the airport’s arriving passengers are tourists, coming to see the attractions of Winnipeg. The city features some very popular walking tours, as well as river cruises along the Red River and the Assiniboine River. The Assiniboine Park Zoo is a family favourite and the Centennial Concert Hall is a venue where many theatrical performances are held each year. Further attractions include the Royal Canadian Mint and the Winnipeg Convention Centre, and the notable parks of the region with boating and fishing opportunities in the summer and ice skating and cross-country skiing opportunities in the winter include Fort Whyte, Kil-Cona Park, King’s Park, La Barriere Park and St. Vital Park. The city also has a number of popular museums, and visitors can easily travel to the nearby attractions found at Selkirk, Dugald and Grand Beach.
Arriving passengers have a number of options for ground transportation should they not wish to rent a car. There are two public bus routes available (15 and 20), which are very cost effective, and private shuttles for transport to Brandon. A passenger’s hotel could provide complimentary transport as well from the airport to their place of accommodation. Alternatively, a taxi will take passengers to downtown Winnipeg for between $15.00 and $18.00.
Further details regarding Winnipeg arrivals can be viewed on several online websites, or the airport can be contacted at (204) 987-9402.

Mini-pigs that interact with and receive positive feedback from humans during the first two months of life are social and enjoy being with people. They typically have a daily routine that involves eating, drinking, eliminating, socializing, sleeping, and digging. Pigs are very intelligent and need environmental enrichment, or they can become bored and destructive. Pet pigs that are not provided with appropriate environmental enrichment or are not socialized early in life may develop stereotypical behaviors including pacing, staring, excessive drinking, hitting walls, drooling, rubbing on things excessively, and repeated licking or chewing on objects, especially metal and rope. Ideally, pigs should be allowed to root outside in untreated lawn. If they are not allowed access to an area for rooting, they may dig up floors, carpeting, or walls in your home, and chew up house plants. Pet pigs can suddenly become aggressive in response to changes within a household including a change in caretaker schedule, introduction of new pets and people, and discomfort from illness.
Like other pets and people, mini-pigs can suffer from numerous health problems including inner/middle ear infections, foot abnormalities, atrophic rhinitis, pneumonia, intestinal parasites and obesity. Obesity can lead to joint injury and arthritis. Mini-pigs may ingest inappropriate items leading to gastrointestinal tract blockages. If blockages are not dealt with quickly intestinal rupture and death. obesity and are prone to joint injury, arthritis, and foot abnormalities.
Young, male mini-pigs commonly develop urolithiasis in which uroliths form lodge in their urethras, causing life-threatening urinary tract obstructions. Male mini-pigs also suffer from cryptorchidism, in which the testicles fail to move from inside the abdomen to the groin. Older, un-spayed female pigs commonly develop leiomyoma uterine tumors. Two common eye problems are entropion (the eyelids roll inward, toward the eyeball) and distichiasis (in which eyelashes on the upper eyelid are misdirected, so that they point in toward and rub on the eyeball). Erysipelas is a bacterial infection characterized by diamond-shaped, red, raised skin lesions that is fatal but is preventable with vaccination. Because mini-pigs are non-discriminatory eaters, they tend to eat all sorts of inappropriate things, including rodenticides which can be deadly if not treated quickly.
Pigs are omnivores that typically eat multiple small meals throughout the day. A mini-pig’s base diet should consist of a commercially available, nutritionally balanced pelleted chow formulated for mini-pigs. Different formulations are available based on the life stage of the pig. In addition to pelleted pig chow, pigs may be fed small amounts of other foods, including fresh or frozen vegetables and small amounts of fruit. Pelleted food should be offered first to help ensure it is consuming a balanced diet. The exact amount of pelleted food to feed depends on the brand being fed; most brands give general feeding recommendations calculated from their caloric content. Treats such as small pieces of succulent fruits or vegetables may be offered once or twice a day and are best used as rewards in training.
There are many breeds of miniature pigs, including the Vietnamese pot-bellied pig. In addition to pot-bellied pigs, the term mini-pig includes an additional 14 recognized breeds of small pigs including Julianas and KuneKunes. Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs can be as heavy as 200 pounds, reach a height of 14-20 inches at the shoulders and typically live for 14-21 years. Mini-pigs communicate both with sounds and with body language. Mini-pigs should never be left alone unsupervised with even the friendliest, potentially predatory, dogs and cats. Mini-pigs are very smart and can be trained to walk on a leash/harness and to sit, stay, come, and retrieve objects.
Mini-pigs may be housed successfully inside if they are given enough space, an area in which to root, and proper environmental enrichment. Ideally pet pigs should have access to a safe area of untreated lawn outside in which to root and chew on grass. Pet pigs generally like to urinate and defecate in a single area that is far from where they eat and sleep and can be trained to eliminate either inside and outside. Pigs in urban environments may be taught to walk on a leash/harness and go outside like dogs. If this is not feasible, they can be trained to use a litter pan indoors.
The most common skin problem in mini-pigs is dry skin that results from a dietary deficiency of fatty acids. In addition to dry skin, mini-pigs commonly suffer from sarcoptic mange, parakeratosis, yeast dermatitis, and sunburn. Hooves of mini-pigs grow continuously throughout life and need to be trimmed periodically. The canine teeth (tusks) of male pigs grow throughout life, while those of females stop growing at about two years of age. Starting after the pig is about a year of age and usually after giving the pig a sedative, your veterinarian will trim tusks during an examination.
Just like other pets, mini-pigs should have a complete veterinary check-up after they are acquired and then annually after that. Your pig may need to be sedated for examination. Your veterinarian will determine the vaccines that are advisable for your pig, based on your pig's potential exposure to pathogens, breeding status, and geographic location. An analysis of your pig's feces should be performed annually to check for gastrointestinal parasites. Pet pigs should be screened for mites through a skin scraping. Veterinarians also will often help pig owners with hoof care and tusk trimming. Neutering of males and spaying of females is recommended for all pigs.

In 2014, at thirty years old, Dennis Kipruto Kimetto, (b. Jan 22, 1984) a long-distance runner from Kenya set the marathon record of 2:02:57 (two hours, two minutes and 57 seconds) in Chicago, Illinois. He was the first man to ever run under 2:03.
He held the record for four years. It was then broken by Eliud Kipchoge (b. Nov 5, 1984), another Kenyan long-distance runner. Kipchoge is now the world record holder in the marathon with a time of 2:01:39, which he set Sept. 16, 2018, at the 2018 Berlin Marathon.
Kipchoge also ran the marathon distance at a special event in Vienna, Austria, and achieved a time of 1:59:40. The run did not count as a new marathon record, however, because it was not an open event and the standard competition rules for pacing and fluids were not followed, but he did become the first person to ever run a marathon in less than two hours. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Kipruto_Kimetto and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliud_Kipchoge)
When someone does the seemingly impossible, everyone’s interest is heightened and they, too, want to improve. For the most part, to run long distances it takes the right genetics along with having the correct limb lengths and, of course, at least 70 percent Type 1/slow twitch/slow oxidative muscle fibers, but you also must train efficiently.
The most efficient way to improve is to gain muscular endurance. At the end of a marathon it is the legs that give out, not the lungs. Most will incorrectly try to increase their VO2 max, but it cannot be increased by top athletes as it cannot be raised after 12 or 18 months in endurance runners. This leaves only one way and that is to raise muscular endurance by maximally training strength endurance.
If one simply runs a set distance at a set body weight at the same pace, then you are not increasing your work. You must become more powerful. For example, by becoming stronger you can deliver greater ground force that can reduce ground contact time. A study by Leema Paavolainen concluded that reduced ground contact time is the most important for faster running times no matter the distance.
The study on 5K racers who had an average stride length of two meters found they would use 2500 strides to cover a 5K. A one one-hundredth of a second reduction in ground contact time would reduce their 5K time by 25 seconds. More on this topic can be found in Underground Secrets to Faster Running by Barry Ross.
Why is increasing strength so important? This is a simple physics equation. First, let’s look at what is work. In physics, work is defined as the product of the net force and the displacement through which that force is exerted, or W=Fd.
Let’s look at power. Power is defined as work done divided by the time used to do the work (P=wt). This simply says that the more powerful you are, the faster you can do the work; the work in this case being 60, 100, or 25,000 meters or even a marathon.
If you are just running and not strengthening your body you have most likely developed a speed barrier where you can no longer cover your distant faster. That’s the definition of the biological Law of Accommodation—that your body adapts to a constant continued stimulus by decreasing its response. So just by running you won’t eventually run faster. To break that speed barrier, you must train other activities such as special exercises for the running muscles—the calves, hamstrings, hips and glutes, and of course, some upper body work for strength and balance. Westside uses weight sleds to build running muscles.
For strength endurance training instead of doing the same amount of work with just body weight, the runner should use three weights on a weight sled that is connected to your body with a strap. This does not effect your running technique when using 15, 25 and 35 pounds.
Through experimentation Westside found that long-distance runners lack maximal strength. For instance, one long-distance runner could parallel box squat 65 pounds for 100 reps, but could only squat 100 pounds for one rep. By doing interval training with a weight sled with three different weights, strength endurance was built. Westside established 25, 35 and 45 pounds in a three-week wave will build strength endurance.
By doing interval training with a weight sled with three different weights to build strength endurance. But experimenting Westside has established 25, 35 and 45 pounds in a three-week wave will build strength endurance.
For races up to 10,000 meters one can pull a weight sled for 30 minutes or just over the world record for that length race. For the very fit, two trips can be performed. Time between trips will depend on your level of preparedness, meaning letting your heart rate get back to your normal range and then repeat. Pull the sled two times a week, but remember to cut your running back by at least 30 percent.
A 16-ounce bottle holds 16 ounces and no more, so when you include weight sled work you have to cut your running back. We know it will be hard to change your thinking, but you must. Your total work capacity is just like that 16-ounce bottle. The bottle can only hold 16 ounces at one time, but it can be full of different substances. For 20,000 meters—a half marathon—do two trips for 30 minutes or four trips for the advanced, and then push for two trips of 45 minutes. Remember, if your pace starts to slow down, you should stop. The key is to maintain top speed for as long as you can. If you slow down you lose … period.
If you run a full marathon, start with four trips using the interval method, meaning powerwalk for 30 minutes. Let your heart rate return to normal and repeat. Then, you should try to increase your speed on the second, third and fourth trips. Note: you must always use the same power walking style to correctly monitor your speed.
For runners with distances less than 30 minutes—10K and under—you should pull a weight sled for 30 minutes. Mark the distance you cover at the 30-minute time limit and try to cover a longer distance each trip. When this can be achieved you have improved your top speed maintenance velocity as well as increased your strength endurance.

The biotech sector is one of the most carefully regulated industries in the world. Biotech products must meet an exhaustive series of regulatory requirements to ensure environmental and human safety before they are released onto the market.
Sound regulation and proper stewardship are essential to ensure the responsible and sustainable use of biotechnology. CropLife international supports a global, innovation-friendly regulatory environment – one that is predictable, transparent and guided by good science. Science-based regulation is the most effective way to ensure farmers have the choice of the best available technologies to help them meet their own agricultural needs in a sustainable way.
We work with international institutions and governments to ensure the introduction of transparent, workable standards based on sound science and risk assessments that are harmonized where possible. Unfortunately, the regulation of plant biotechnology is currently far from harmonized. Different regions have quite different approaches and do not recognize the validity of other countries’ approvals. And not all countries base their decisions on scientific evidence: in Europe in particular, decision-making is often political. Such differences do nothing to protect consumers or the environment, but instead create unnecessary barriers to innovation and trade.

Audition sur le changement climatique de Jean-Marc Jancovici à l’Assemblée Nationale
En effet, loin d’être une simple transition énergétique, il nous faut inventer une vision d’un futur que l’on construira ensemble pendant les 40 prochaines années, une transition économique et sociale encore jamais tentée jusqu’ici, qui assurera la survie de notre espèce, en tout cas de notre pays.
“Every day, the world over, large amounts of high-level radioactive waste created by nuclear power plants is placed in interim storage, which is vulnerable to natural disasters, man-made disasters, and societal changes. In Finland, the world’s first permanent repository is being hewn out of solid rock – a huge system of underground tunnels – that must last the entire period the waste remains hazardous: 100,000 years.”
China’s Demand, World Commodity Prices and the Australian Economy
Over the last 30 years, the “Chinese miracle” had a profound effect on the global economy. In many countries and industries, China has transformed the dynamics that ruled the world in the last 50 years. Specifically, this impact has been very strong in commodity prices.

Control assays and synthetic DNA templates were designed to facilitate the assessment of the key experimental factors impacting your real-time PCR results.
DNA Contamination Control Assay
Use the PrimePCR DNA contamination control assay to determine if genomic DNA (gDNA) is present in a sample at a level that may affect PCR results. This assay may also be used to compare relative levels of gDNA contamination present in different samples to determine if PCR results may be affected.
Positive PCR Control Assay
Use the PrimePCR positive control assay to qualitatively assess the performance of a PCR reaction associated with a single sample. This assay may also be used to compare the relative performance of PCR reactions associated with different samples.
RNA Quality Assay
Use the PrimePCR RNA quality assay to determine if RNA integrity may adversely affect PCR results for a single sample. This assay may also be used to compare relative RNA integrity among different samples to determine how PCR results might be affected.
Reverse Transcription Control Assay
Use the PrimePCR reverse transcription control assay to qualitatively assess the performance of the reverse transcription reaction associated with a single sample. This assay may also be used to compare the relative performance of the reverse transcription reactions associated with different samples.
Reference Gene Assays
Reference genes are used in relative gene expression analysis to normalize for variation in the amount of input messenger RNA (mRNA) among samples. To ensure accurate quantitation, it is important to include one or more reference genes exhibiting constant expression levels under the experimental conditions. To streamline reference gene selection, we offer PCR primers for a set of commonly used reference genes that can be used individually, easily screened using our preplated 96-well and 384-well reference panels or added to custom-designed plates.

Mingpao and the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s School of Journalism have released the results of their latest opinion poll, conducted between Sept. 5 and Sept. 11 on a random sample of 623 people). Among its findings are the following:
- 75.7% of the respondents think the government has not done enough to defuse the crisis by withdrawing the extradition bill
- 71.7% of the respondents think police have used excessive force
- 39.4% of the respondents think the protesters have used excessive force
- 48.3% of the respondents give the police a trust score of 0 (compared with only 6.5% giving a 0 score last May)
- As for who is responsible for the escalation of violence (multiple answers permitted):
- 50.5% said HK government
- 18.5% said HK police
- 17.8% said central government
- 12.7% said the protesters
- 55.7% agree and 26.9% disagree with the statement that “when peaceful protest cannot make the government respond, protesters’ radical action is understandable”
The drop in trust in the police since May is really stunning and shows the degree to which Hong Kong citizens are alienated from the government.
Here are links to two Mingpao reports:

Losing that stubborn fat always seems impossible but the good news is you do not need to tackle it all alone, there are a variety of food items that can support you in your battle with the excess weight.
We know that how much you care about your health and you are desperately in search of solutions for getting rid of obesity but the methods should be safe n sound and that is why we decided to establish this article where we are sharing the food items that are nothing but the true gifts of nature and they are pretty helpful in losing fat.
It is not merely a claim but as a matter of fact these gifts of nature can boost the process of metabolism or can stimulate those genes or hormones that encourage your body to lose weight.
So, introducing these food items into your diet can actually be helpful for your weight loss as well as for your overall health.
1. Sweet Potatoes:
Have you ever heard the term “Slow carb”?
If you haven’t then just for the record they are good for weight loss.
Because, when you take a food item that comes in the category of slow carb, so it is a food that takes a longer amount of time to get digested and it implies, it will keep you fuller & satisfied.
Sweet Potatoes are one of those food items that come in the category of slow carbs and they do possess all those characteristics that are associated to slow carb food items.
Sweet potatoes do possess Vitamin A in a real ideal quantity and this vitamin, in particular, is good for inter-cellular communication process, vision, different functionalities of immune system and reproduction.
The good point is all these benefits are possible in just a few calorie counts of 162, isn’t it amazing?
Moreover, they are so versatile that you can pair up them with almost anything or you have various solo dishes of this divine food item.
Bottom Line: add sweet potatoes as soldiers in your battle of fat loss and you will not regret later..!
Hostility with carbs in the beginners to weight loss is quite common but to some extent, it is not based on the true facts because not all the carbs are the bad carbs, for instance, whole grain carbs like oats fall into the category of healthy food items.
Additionally, people who introduce 3-5 servings of whole carbs in their daily servings tend to reduce 9% to 11% belly fat than those who take the same amount of carbs but in this case, the carbs are fully processed carbs like pasta, rice or bread, and this point has been proven by the University of Tufts in one of its studies.
So, the point is valid but how does it work?
Oats do come in the category of those foods that are high in fiber & have properties of burning slowly in your digestive system and keep you satiated for a long duration.
For losing weight, it is essential for your body to make a calorie deficit that can result in refraining your body from storing more fat and encouraging it to melt those reserves of fat. Oat meal is helpful or your body when you eat it in the replacement of high caloric food, it is supportive in fat loss.
3. White Tea:
White tea is totally a miracle drink because it has potential to help human body in 3 different ways
- It stops creation of new fat cells (adipogenesis)
- It begins the process of fat burning (lipolysis)
- It boosts up the ability of liver to convert fat into to the energy supply
These properties have been explained in one of the authentic scientific journals that named as Nutrition & Metabolism.
Additionally, white tea has different varieties and almost all of them have the same very effects with additional benefits of antioxidants, and they are light on calorie scale too.
Bottom Line: Drink away your fat with the addition of white tea in your diet.
4. Dark Chocolate:
Are you one of those people who consider that when you are on a fat loss journey, you are going to leave everything that includes your all time favorite indulgences?
The Chocolate that contains 70% or more Cacao can be helpful in providing your weight loss extra support.
As per a study that was carried away in the State University of Louisiana, chocolate has the power to create compounds that are polyphenols and they are good for your gut health.
There are a few more elements like fatty acids and butyrate that are also very helpful in boosting the human body in melting the fat like fuel for energy and they also happen to restrict the genes that are connected to cause the feeling of inflammation.
Add 1 or 2 fruits to jack up the process of fermentation in your body to release all the previously mentioned compounds from the dark chocolate into your body.
Bottom Line: Chocolate eating is good for your health as well it is good for losing weight too because it contains the high amount of polyphenols that are antioxidants.
5. Black Beans:
This humble food category just appears “humble” look wise only otherwise in terms of properties, pulses are truly magical potent if nothing less.
First of all, beans are ideal for starch resistance (slow digestive food) and black beans, in particular, they contain fibers that are insoluble and they appear to feed the bacteria in your guts that are healthy for you.
Moreover, they also lead the generation of certain chemicals like butyrate that are super cool as they boost your body for fat burning.
Just merely taken 10 grams of this type of food category can lead your body to loss 3.7 % belly fat over the period of 5 years.
Bottom Line: Beans are totally a good option for weight loss.
6. Dried Tomatoes:
There are many different food items that are sun dried in different cultures around the globe and tomatoes are one of those items.
Recently in a Japanese study, it has been discovered that an element that is present in this red fruit (the name of the compound is 9-oxo-ODA).
This compound surprisingly has power to activate the gene in your DNA that can burn excess fat.
Moreover, tomatoes are a highly rich source of Lycopene and beta-carotene (by the way, these both compounds are antioxidants too), these elements can eliminate those harmful substances that are normally considered responsible for evoking the storage of fat.
The best thing is that tomatoes come in the category of those foods that have more properties to offer after they are in the cooked form plus it has been proven that people who have a good amount of Lycopene and Beta-carotene in their diets are likely to have the lowest fat in their belly area and they also have the smallest circumference of their waists.
Bottom Line: add some sun dried tomatoes in your diet and they are even better if they are cooked because the Lycopene ratio in cooked tomatoes gets even higher.
7. Grape Fruit (A citrus family member):
Simply a slice of grape fruit that you happen to add in your salad can be like a match stick that can start a change reaction for fat burning.
A relevant journal to Metabolism has revealed that people who eat grape fruit just even for the duration of six weeks merely can reduce up to 1 complete inch from the area of their waists.
What is the catch here?
Okay, so grape fruit is blessed with bioactive substances like Phytochemicals that are great at stimulating the secretion adiponectin (an essential hormone), It performs a crucial role in the human body for breaking down the excess fat where as another study indicates that this delicious fruit is capable of activating burning of calories in the form of brown fat cells plus it also happens to suppress the feeling of hunger naturally.
Bottom Line: the fat blasting properties can be experienced with grape fruit intake even with just a few chunks of it!
8. Coconut Oil:
Coconut is a Tropical fruit that is already jam packed with beauty and health benefits. This is a quite interesting finding that the fat of this tropical fruit in the form of oil can actually make you slim.
There are numerous studies which confirm such findings that coconut oil can literally torch the fat away specifically in your belly or lower abdominal area.
Moreover, in a study that was conducted on a reasonable number of subjects (participants) concluded that the group which was asked to add 2 tablespoons oil of coconut in their diet and the other group which was asked to add 2 tablespoons oil of soybean, both experienced weight loss but the group with coconut oil actually experienced reduction in the waistlines up to a significant mark.
These results were possible thanks to the Lauric acid and Triglycerides C.O.’s medium-chain that help coconut oil to be burned as the energy source rather being stored in the form of fat.
Bottom Line: Coconut oil is one of the apt choices among all the oils that are edible ones.
Dried spices are not only great to add flavor to your food but also they can provide some really unique and great health benefits whether you add them to your cooking or just sprinkle them a bit on to your food, they are equally beneficial.
Cinnamon is one of those spices that can provide a delicious aroma to your cuisine but it can also stabilize the levels of insulin in your blood or can reduce the feeling of hunger.
Several studies are conducted on it and they have confirmed that a compound that is part of cinnamon (Cinnamaldehyde) is apt for losing waistline fat without causing any trouble to the consumer plus this spice is rich in antioxidants.
Bottom Line: Have some cinnamon in your diet to experience its antioxidant properties.
10. Forbidden Rice:
Forbidden rice another name for black rice, this is a type of rice that is likely to be less popular than brown or white rice in all over the world but it is an ancient grain that has been pretty popular in the royal cuisine because of its tremendous benefits that are not normally found in the other kinds of rice.
Black rice offers antioxidants that are great at fighting the different diseases or can even stop their formation, diseases that are related to heart, cancers of several types or diabetes.
This particular type has anti-inflammatory characteristics and a higher index of dietary fiber.
Moreover, the rice has been in use of royals for thousands of years in China but now it is getting equally popular in the area like Europe, Australia, and the USA as the scientists are carrying several types of research on black rice to understand this category fully.
Bottom Line: Black rice is good at the benefits.
All the previously mentioned food items are highly helpful for fat loss and they have been selected carefully.
But did you know? You happen to multiply the great effect of these food items if you do some exercise and introduce some healthy habits in your life.
Giving a try is a must!

History[edit | edit source]
Around 900,000 years ago (before 2370) the planet was an outpost of dissidents of the Chodak Empire who opposed the misuse of the Unity Device. They built a considerable amount of technology on the world including pharonium pyramids which they remained after their successful coup and disappearance with the Device.
A thousand years ago, the planet was settled by Garidian refugees/colonists, led by the Lawgiver Avatrunei and his Followers, carrying with themselves the precious Fifth Scroll. During their stay the Garidians studied and made use of the abandoned Chodak technology while also establishing their civilization according to their philosophy. The Lawgiver made a great study of the ruins and even developed a Chodak/Garidian translator.
The Garidian disciples used a Chodak chameleon field, a kind of cloaking device to protect themselves in case Garid's forces came after them. As a consequence, Frigis remained unknown and isolated for the next millennium. Romulans and Garidians had made claims on the world.
Not long after their colonization, Avatrunei's disciples had diverged, interpreting the Fifth Scroll according to their own preference. Barinom, Plegu and Ifnik made their own copies of the Scroll and founded their sects. The Chodak pyramids were adapted by the sects to serve as a transporter to their temple.
In 2200s the colony scientists found a Chodak data crystal which, because of its fragility, could not be read.
The planet itself was ruled by a chancellor. By the 24th century, a Ferengi trader, Aramut, was the first and only alien to visit the planet. The colonists decided to trade some animals with outside technology.
In 2370, the year the Lawgiver predicted that a a team of aliens would visit the planet, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) arrived on the planet looking for the Fifth Scroll. Chancellor Laraq welcomed a team led by William Riker who managed to discover the Scroll. This not only helped the sects to overcome their feuds, but also brought the two cultures together.
However the Garidians were after the Enterprise and thus learned the truth about Frigis, which they shared with the Romulans. During the Romulan incursion, Frigis was attacked by Romulan forces, although the colonists pretended that the planet was deserted; Laraq sought help of the Enterprise as an act of good faith, since the Federation protects its planets.

Knowledge Article

Each morning we slather our faces and bodies with thousands of chemicals hidden inside cosmetics and personal care products, many of which can be toxic. Talc, for example, the main ingredient in baby powder, has been linked to ovarian cancer for decades. Yet, Johnson & Johnson (J&J) continues to put their baby powder on our shelves, without any warning labels – and despite having already paid billions in punitive damages to women who’ve successfully argued that claim (a Canadian lawsuit is ongoing too).
In 2004, Dr. Philippa Darbre, a UK scientist, found parabens, a chemical preservative in many cosmetics, in breast tissue. In 2018, the National Institute of Health’s sister study linked breast cancer to personal care product use. Just some of the many stories that make us wonder why more isn’t being done to protect people from the products they use daily.
The documentary, Toxic Beauty, is an eye-opening, riveting and frightening look at the little-regulated beauty industry, with the backdrop an ongoing class action lawsuit against J&J. Incorporating interviews with scientists, lawyers, advocates, regulators, a whistleblowing powerhouse and women who have since lost their lives, Toxic Beauty is a must-see for anyone who believes big industry and regulators are looking out for their best interests. Woven throughout the film is a human experiment by Boston University medical student, Mymy Nguyen, who measures her chemical body burden from more than 27 products as scientists monitor and share the shocking results.
Having already made the rounds at film festivals, the film can be found on Amazon, iTunes, demand.film and is streaming in Canada at CBC Gem. Written and directed by Canadian filmmaker Phyllis Ellis, the film ultimately begs the question: are cosmetics and personal care products making us sick? We recently sat down with Ellis to chat about the film, what inspired her work, any updates on the lawsuit, and advice for those of us wondering who to trust and how to make smarter choices when purchasing personal care products.
How did you learn about the lawsuit with Johnson & Johnson? Do you have any updates on where the Canadian lawsuit stands today?
When we started researching the topic of toxicants in cosmetics and personal care products, we knew we needed real women, a narrative to follow and one that had solid research and science behind it. Dr. Daniel Cramer, who was one of our first interviews explained in detail his story, research and relationship to finding a causal link between talc and ovarian cancer in 1982. He was really our entry into that story.
But I had read in the media about the J&J talc litigation prior to meeting him. Then I met Joel Rochon, who is one of the lead lawyers on the Canadian litigation. I don’t have a current update on the Canadian lawsuit only to say that there are hundreds of women and the team is very committed to justice for them.
Are there those still pushing the argument that there’s no link between Talc and ovarian cancer? Or do you feel the link is more accepted today (after the lawsuit)?
From what certainly Dr. Cramer and attorney Allan Smith have communicated, any strong push toward the argument that there is no link is likely research supported by industry. What we learn in the film, through our expert independent scientists, researchers and also through the first congressional hearing on talc March 2018, is that there is in fact a direct link between talc and ovarian cancer.
Many would be surprised to learn that their beauty products don’t have warning labels on them, despite research proving they can be harmful. How can women take better care of themselves in this environment?
That’s the multi-billion-dollar question. Now that we are aware of the issues around regulation or lack there of, we need to be informed. Check labels on new purchases, and also the products we are using daily on ourselves, children and loved ones. And there are a couple of app’s, although not always reliable or might not cover your brand, like Think Dirty or Skin Deep. At least it’s a reference.
Be very careful with any products that have the word fragrance or parfum. We learned that those words can contain hundreds of chemicals and some of those chemicals can be harmful. But they are not labeled. They don’t have to be listed, as most ‘fragrance’ is proprietary.
What has been the response to your movie by J&J and others in the cosmetic industry?
I haven’t heard from anyone. Not during filming or after. Some turned down interviews.
What are some things we can all do to change the industry and its lack of regulation and silence on these issues?
Contact your MP and tell them we need to push stricter and more fulsome regulations on cosmetics and personal care products. Reduce, reduce and remove products from your daily routine. We all likely know this but not many products do what they say they will do so if we stop purchasing then the brands will have to reformulate.

Spring Hill FL First Time Home Buyers– Get Help Cutting Through The Economic Haze
Spring Hill FL first-time home buyers in 2014 are faced with a question that hasn’t changed for generations: is it more practical to buy right now, or to continue to rent?
Over the past few years, buying has been the easy choice. Nationally, in 2013 it cost 35% less to own a home than to rent according to that year’s study by real estate website Trulia. That despite rising house prices and mortgage rates. But that was last year, and the experts have been pretty unanimous in predicting that interest rates will continue to rise—ending up somewhere near 5.5% by 2014’s end (per the National Association of REALTORS®). In the face of higher interest rates and house price tags, will 2014 be the year when renting becomes more affordable than buying?
While first-time home buyers in Spring Hill FL are faced with increasing house prices and mortgage rates, renters also find another national trend: higher rents. Rents have been on the rise for the past few years, with continued increases expected throughout 2014. According to Axiometrics, the folks with the latest data, apartment rents are on course to rise by 3.04% in 2014. Research firm Reis puts the expected rise at 3.15%— and both say the causes are the potent combination of tight supply and rising demand. Whenever the economy improves, each incremental gain puts even more pressure on rents—which acts as an offset to any financial benefits of renting versus owning.
Where does that leave our typical Spring Hill FL first-time home buyers?
Most recently, national averages show it is still about 21% cheaper to own rather than rent. According to the Trulia study, by fall of last year, the earliest tipping point at which it would have become more expensive to own rather than rent would have been expected to occur if interest rates hit 6.2%—but only in Spring Hill FL—and only if rents had remained fixed (which didn’t happen, even in Hernando County). Nationally, out here in the real world, Tulia admitted “mortgage rates will not tip the housing market in favor of renting over buying until rates hit 10.5%…”
Spring Hill FL first-time home buyers can be a bit more confident as they take in one more piece of information from the real world of April 2014 (no matter what the experts predicted): over the past few weeks, national mortgage interest rates have been edging down instead of rising! That may well change direction again (probably will), but for now at least, I have to say that it’s a pretty clear call in the spring of 2014: time to get pre-approved and find the perfect home in Spring Hill FL or the surrounding Hernando County Real Estate markets!

About the artists:
Lucky Buttons Jewelry is a husband/wife team.
Lucky began making coin rings in 2014. The first process took about 10 hours per ring. Since then he has learned and developed many
different techniques. Once he learns something, he applies it to everything else and begins exploring and creating new styles and pieces. Lucky makes everything with hand tools.; none of the pieces are touched by anything that plugs into a wall.
All items are designed and handcrafted by Lucky with the assistance of Lucy. Both Lucky and Lucy search out the coins and work together to figure out what will become of them. Lucy hand paints all the banners and signs you see at the shop. She also organizes their art festival gigs, has developed this website, manages custom orders and the business as a whole.. Lucy is probably the one you will be in contact with when you email us. Together they create a dynamic team that is "Lucky Buttons Jewelry!"
Both were born in Roanoke, Virginia. They met in 2008 and have teamed together in their endeavors ever since. From playing in a pool league together to being professional musicians for 8 years traveling the US and into Mexico, Their goals have always included spreading inspiration and joy to all they meet.
Come meet them in person at the Roanoke Historic City Market, downtown Roanoke, Virginia! Their season starts mid March until Dec. 30th.
Regular hours are:
Fridays and Sundays 9:00am-4pm
DUE to the 2020 Pandemic, we are currently working from home only and available only for
online orders. We are doing all we can to keep us and everyone safe.
They do a few art festivals throughout the year also.

A full-time waitress, part-time entrepreneur with a desire to solve some of the world’s injustices will use the Miss BC Pageant this weekend in Fort Langley as her proverbial soapbox.
The Langley City woman is one of 27 contenders vying for the Miss BC crown during the Miss, Miss Teen, Jr. Miss, and Mrs BC Pageant happening Monday, July 2 at the Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley.
“I entered this pageant for many reasons. However, the main reason, is so that I can use my voice. I want to share my thoughts,” said the Kelowna-born woman.
“By participating in Miss BC, I hope to meet new people, share my passions, obtain leadership skills, inspire people and in turn, be inspired,” she said.
“I believe with all my heart that I have something unique to share with the world, and I am ready to do so.”
Describing herself as a individualist and a passionate environmentalist, she’s looking for a chance to step out of her comfort zone and speak to the need to care for the planet.
“I absolutely love earth. Since a young age I’ve been taught to appreciate the environment and all of its beauty. I truly believe it is our duty to nurture our nature just as she has done for us. This is why I chose to go to school for environmental studies,” Scott said.
Moreover, however, she hopes to use the pageant as a platform to speak out about social justice – or lack there of, in her view.
Her mother was a recent victim of domestic abuse.
“Educating people about the impacts of domestic abuse is a very important to me. Even though it didn’t happen to me directly, I almost lost my mom to it, so it is very real to me,” explained Scott.
“Seeing her go through what she did has taught me how important it is to use our voices. I want to share my story in hopes that it will inspire strength in other women.”
In fact, believing in the power of speaking out, she wants people to feel comfortable enough to talk about the hardships they are facing, and hopes to inspire such.
“Everything happens for a reason. I’d like to believe that is why I’ve stumbled upon this amazing opportunity,” she said of the competition.
As one of the late entries, this 25-year-old wilderness lover admitted she never entered the Miss BC pageant to win.
“I’m entering to gain experience and prospective. All I can say is that I hope my individuality will be embraced,” she said.
The Miss BC pageant also marks what she calls the beginning of her involvement with the community.
She settled into Langley City three years ago, after growing up nearby in the Clayton Heights area, and has just recently begun contributing and volunteering.
For instance, Scott said, she gives $5 a month to the It Works! Gives Back Foundation and sponsoring a little boy in Africa. But this “adventure” is really her launching pad for engaging in her community.
“This is just the beginning of my humanitarian dream,” she said.
Each year, the contestants in Miss BC must fundraise for the Cops for Cancer, and in the past decade that has translated to more than $350,000 for the cause.
This weekend’s events
Scott is looking forward to fostering new friendships with some of the other contestants.
There are actually 45 contestants competing this year, including six in the Mrs. category, 12 in the Miss Teen classification, and the 27 (including Scott and fellow Langleyites Alice Kim and Natasha Chadney) vying for the Miss BC crown.
Training and workshops run June 30 to July 2, with the crowning ceremonies on Monday evening.
It’s not a beauty contest, organizers clarify. It’s a program offering training and workshops aimed at enhancing each contender’s self-esteem and personal development while recognizing their strengths, talents, and accomplishments.
“This year, I believe I will bring something different to the stage. Not only as an individual, but as a signal for progressive change,” Scott said.
Proudly representing her sponsor, Hempyz, she encouraged others to seek out and participate in this event in future: “This opportunity would be great for any female… I’d say if you feel you have a positive opinion to share then definitely apply next year’s pageant.”
