Flex Alexander made a name for himself as an actor when he played Darnell on the sitcom "Girlfriends" and earned award nominations for his role as Flex Washington on his own series "One on One."
But that was years ago.
More recently, Flex and his wife of 14 years, '90s pop star Shanice Wilson, have had more than a few career stumbling blocks, hitting financial rock bottom. Along with their two children and handful of extended family members, Flex and Shanice moved into a rental house and dealt with their troubles quietly. Not even their close friends knew the extent of their woes. But now, the couple feels it's time to open up.
In their new reality special, "Flex and Shanice," the two allowed cameras to capture their journey to get back on track, beginning with Flex revealing exactly what his family has been through to his friend of 15 years, comedian Kym Whitley.
In the above video, Flex meets Kym for lunch to discuss how he can get back into stand-up comedy, which he has done and enjoyed in the past. After the two talk about his comedic approach, Flex lets Kym in on the secret he's been keeping.
"Kym, you don't know what we've gone through. We haven't shared it with a lot of people," Flex begins. "We've gone through a lot. We've gone through ups, we've gone through downs. I've had that 4 o'clock banging at the door, they're coming to get the car…"
Kym interrupts. "Somebody came to get the car?" she asks, shocked.
"Yep," Flex nods. "We lost our home."
"Flex, no!" Kym says. "Oh, you're going to make me cry. You're going to make me cry… I've never ever known this."
"There ain't no pain worse than that," Flex tells her.
Later, Flex explains why he, too, becomes emotional when faced with these facts. "As a man, you take all that on your shoulders, no matter what," he says. "It's my job to protect and it's my job to provide. So, you feel like a failure."

Pak-India relations are a victim of severe nonchalance resulting in the sabotage of peace process. The severe sufferer of the ongoing clash, are the art and artists that are compelled to admit that comes under the subservience of the borders.
Amidst all these clashes the veteran Bollywood actress and director Pooja Bhatt is once again on the private visit to Pakistan. She came to Lahore via Wahga border on the invitation of Ali Azmat; the former lead vocalist of Junoon group. According to media
Earlier in October, she had come to Karachi and remained in the city for the ten days. She arrived in Lahore via Wahga border on the invitation of Ali Azmat; the former lead vocalist of Junoon group. According to media reports, Pooja Bhatt would celebrate her new year in Lahore.
Now, when the Pakistani cinemas have lifted a ban on Indian movies due to drop in the earnings, we may hope that cultural ties would restore back, but we are not sure whether it would help both the countries to come at peace with each other.
We have to admit that voices of hatred are still stronger than the voices of love and peace, on both sides that are why we have never been able to resolve our disputes and fought the worse battles in our history.
The issue is that people on each side of the border exploit the real word patriotism in the very bad sense. They think that creating an enemy and then fighting against him to save our land is what shows the love of the land.
Even, the actress Pooja Bhatt named the so called nationalism of right wing extremists in India as an act of bullying before she visited Pakistan earlier.
It is neither nationalism nor blackmail. It is schoolyard bullying at its best & worst… https://t.co/M8vTB289j0
— Pooja Bhatt (@PoojaB1972) October 21, 2016
Real Loss of worsening Pak-India Relations
The fact is that this very sentiment is nothing more than an obstacle on the way of prosperity, especially for our side. We have already seen how terribly cinema owners have suffered after putting ban Bollywood movies.
The deteriorating Pak-India relations are also impacting the economy on both sides. The defense budget of our country always surpassed health and education. From here we should analyze how better we can endorse a patriotism powered by clashes with neighboring countries.
As far as the matter of dignity is concerned, it ultimately gets jeopardized when a country is not economically strong enough to stand on its own. Even if there are no cultural ties between both the countries the art would have the attraction for its counter across the border but for the betterment of Pak-India relations change in policy is called for.

Joshua Slocum in Google Earth: Newport to Fairhaven
Follow Joshua Slocum's Sailing Alone Around the World at: http://www.hazelhurst.net/Slocum
Slocum and the Spray have returned to the United States after a voyage of 46,000 miles. However, Slocum feels that the spiritual home of the Spray is at Fairhaven, her place of birth. Accordingly, less than a week after completing the circumnavigation, he sails his ship to her home port:
The Spray was not quite satisfied till I sailed her around to her birthplace, Fairhaven, Massachusetts, farther along. I had myself a desire to return to the place of the very beginning whence I had, as I have said, renewed my age. So on July 3, with a fair wind, she waltzed beautifully round the coast and up the Acushnet River to Fairhaven, where I secured her to the cedar spile driven in the bank to hold her when she was launched. I could bring her no nearer home.
There is no other way to mark the end of this journey than in Slocum's own words:
And now, without having wearied my friends, I hope, with detailed scientific accounts, theories, or deductions, I will only say that I have endeavoured to tell just the story of the adventure itself. This, in my own poor way, having been done, I now moor ship, weather-bitt cables, and leave the sloop Spray, for the present, safe in port.
The section of Joshua Slocum's journey reported here concludes Chapter XXI of Sailing Alone Around the World and brings Slocum's adventure to a close.
You can follow the entire voyage in Google Earth at: http://www.hazelhurst.net/Slocum where three years, two months, and two days of adventure are compressed into five hours and thirty-three minutes of animation and narration.
Effectively, I have created an audio-book from Slocum's text and added Google Earth illustration. There should be a name such a work.

Joshua Slocum in Google Earth: Antigua to Newport
Follow Joshua Slocum's Sailing Alone Around the World at: http://www.hazelhurst.net/Slocum
Slocum sails from Antigua on 05Jun1898. He shapes a course for Cape Hatteras in about 35°N with the intention of coasting along past Chesapeake and Delaware Bays up to New York; a grand finale to the voyage.
The sun passes directly overhead on 08Jun1898 when he is in the latitude of 22° 54'N.
Many think it excessively hot right under the sun. It is not necessarily so. As a matter of fact the thermometer stands at a bearable point whenever there is a breeze and a ripple on the sea, even exactly under the sun. It is often hotter in cities and on sandy shores in higher latitudes.
Several degrees further north Slocum finds the Spray becalmed in the region of the North Atlantic known as the Sargasso Sea. The Sargassum seaweed bunches together into a vast mat around the sloop. For day after day, he can only sit and read and wait for the wind. The smooth and monotonous sea lasts for eight days when a strong south-westerly gale springs up and carries the Spray into the Gulf Stream.
Parts of the sloop's rigging begin to fail including the peak halyard-block used for controlling the gaff mainsail. More seriously, on 20Jun1898 the jib-stay breaks away at the masthead. This stay is used to carry the jib, but its main function is to hold the mainmast in place. The stay, with the sail attached, falls into the sea but Slocum is able to retrieve it; without the stay the mast sways about 'like a reed', but he must climb to the masthead to rig a gun-tackle purchase¹ to secure the mast. He is able to rig a reefed jib to this improvised stay which once again "was soon pulling like a sodger."
Slocum is now growing weary of the relentless thumping of the waves and the squalls throwing the Spray about. On 23Jun1898 he is pelted by hailstones and subjected to continuous lightning flashes, but there is worse to come; what he calls the climax storm of the voyage:
By slants, however, day and night I worked the sloop in towards the coast, where, on the 25th of June, off Fire Island, she fell into the tornado which, an hour earlier, had swept over New York city with lightning that wrecked buildings and sent trees flying about in splinters; even ships at docks had parted their moorings and smashed into other ships, doing great damage. It was the climax storm of the voyage, but I saw the unmistakable character of it in time to have all snug aboard and receive it under bare poles. Even so, the sloop shivered when it struck her, and she heeled over unwillingly on her beam ends; but rounding to, with a sea-anchor ahead, she righted and faced out the storm.
After the storm, Slocum finds he is closer inshore and, sighting the land, discovers he is some miles to the east of Fire Island. The plan changes; Newport, Rhode Island, is the new destination; he heads eastwards along the coast of Long Island, rounding Montauk Point in the early afternoon. By nightfall, Point Judith is abeam and soon the Beavertail promontory is passed.
The only obstacle now remaining is that the entrance to Newport harbour is mined, owing to the war with Spain. Slocum steers close inshore, hugging the rocks, reasoning that it would be better to have an argument with a rock than with a mine.
Flitting by a low point abreast of the guard-ship, the dear old Dexter, which I knew well, some one on board of her sang out, "There goes a craft!" I threw up a light at once heard the hail, "Spray, ahoy!" It was the voice of a friend, and I knew that a friend would not fire on the Spray. I eased off the main-sheet now, and the Spray swung off for the beacon-lights of the inner harbour. At last she reached port in safety and there, at 1.a.m. on June 27, 1898, cast anchor, after the cruise of more than forty-six thousand miles round the world, during an absence of three years and two months, with two days over for coming up.
The section of Joshua Slocum's journey reported here opens Chapter XXI of Sailing Alone Around the World, and this post is a trailer for the adventure that I am retelling in Google Earth at: http://www.hazelhurst.net/Slocum

Background- The death of Sonny Tawhiao.

The official police report suggested suicide.

They were wrong- this is a case of murder.

With the ownership of Matakana Island local iwi company Te Kotukutuku (TKC) had suddenly become worth hundreds of millions after it's 1998 Court of Appeal win in the case of Arklow vs Maclean. But coming up in October 1999 was the Privy Council hearing that would either cancel or allow TKC ownership of the Matakana land.

Standing in their way was Sonny Tawhiao. As the official Matakana Island Waitangi claims person on behalf of the tribe, Sonny Tawhiao had seen TKC use the Waitangi claims as an excuse as to why TKC should be the owner of Matakana Island. In Sonny's Waitangi claim he sort compensation for his tribe Ngaiterangi, for the loss of the Matakana land which the tribe's leaders had sold in the 1880's.

The Government and the Courts were told the Waitangi claims would cease if they helped TKC get ownership. So in 1994 Justice Greig allowed merchant bank Far Financial the right to sell Matakana land to TKC.

Far Financial was at the time under claim they had stolen the deal from Arklow Investments after viewing in confidence how Arklow were structuring their bid. Arklow was going to get 10,000 acres of Matakana land for free under the method they had devised. Far could see this, they were broke and desperate at the time and ran off with Arklow's deal.

TKC told the court the land was sacred and must be returned to its rightful owner and so Justice Greig lifted Arklow's caveats and allowed the sale to proceed. In May 1997 after a 4 week trial Arklow won its claim against Far Financial. The judgement is very clear.

But in 1998 the Court of Appeal overturned that win after hearing pleas from TKC the sacred land was in their hands and that if Far lost the appeal Maori ownership was in danger. After the Court of Appeal win TKC were now worth serious money.

The leaders of the tribe including their chartered accountant Graeme Ingham, Chairman of Ngaiterangi Iwi Howard Palmer, Chairman of the Matakana Island charitable trust (MIT) John Neill and Chairman of Tauranga Moana Trust Enoka Ngatai, Don Shaw and others had control of shares of TKC.

Keeping everything secret from the people they were meant to represent a frustrated Sonny Tawhiao called Wingate of Arklow seeking information. After being provided with the truth in a file of document an inch thick Sonny Tawhiao began canvassing the islanders to take a stand against the Tribe's leaders accusing them of corruption and breach of fiduciary duty. The more Sonny complained the more the death threats increased. In the weeks leading up to his death certain witnesses have said Sonny had pushed them away fearing their lives were also in danger. The Privy Council case was October 1999. Mr Tawhiao was killed 7 July 1999.

The official police report suggests- Sonny took a can of petrol from his boot of his car, removed his green knitted top and both gumboots and set fire to them at the rear right wheel. Police suggest he lit the petrol first then threw the top and boots into those flames. He then poured petrol throughout the interior of the car and then poured petrol under the boot leading up to the left front door which was left slightly ajar. He then put the petrol can into his boot. Police say he then got into the car and lit the car on fire.

Saturday July 10, 1999 New Zealand Herald Story - Island mourns young leader of vision
By Rosaleen MacBrayne

TAURANGA - Mourning Matakana Islanders hold a tangi today for a young community leader whose charred body was found in the back seat of his blazing car on Wednesday.

Sonny Tawhiao, aged 36, was passionate about Matakana, an island in Tauranga Harbour, and had big plans for it.

His body was returned from the Tauranga mortuary yesterday to lie at the local marae.

Police are "98 per cent sure" Mr Tawhiao was the fire victim, but final confirmation must await the results of forensic tests, which could be six to eight weeks away.

In the meantime, they are still officially treating the circumstances as suspicious. Police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the death.

Kaumatua Huata Palmer said the death had stunned the 300-strong community.

After the funeral, the forest site at the southeastern part of the island where Mr Tawhiao's car was found will be blessed, and the vehicle buried there.

Adopted into a Matakana Island family as a baby, Sonny Tawhiao spent most of his life there, apart from a stint as an adolescent in Auckland.

He had been married, but lived with his two young sons and his father on the island.

Mr Tawhiao's focus was on planning for the new millennium, Mr Palmer said.

He was rallying the community to help to attract visitors to the island and take advantage of America's Cup opportunities.

"He was maybe ahead of his time with some of his more radical ideas.

"But he involved a lot of the young people on the island, who looked up to him and had a lot of respect for him."

Although not a Maori speaker, Sonny Tawhiao had wide knowledge of whakapapa, Matakana Island history and "things Maori."

He was very intelligent, if a little enigmatic, Mr Palmer said.

Mr Tawhiao kept communication lines open between Matakana's youth and older residents.

"He seemed to have a finger in everything and was quite far sighted. He certainly had things sussed out for the future," said Mr Palmer.

"It is still a bit of a shock to the community that it happened this way, and that it happened at all."

New Zealand Herald Story Tauranga canal village planned- Monday July 28, 2003

An exclusive 200-home, Pauanui-style residential retreat built around man-made canals and private beaches is proposed for Matakana Island near Tauranga.

The planned multimillion-dollar development is a joint venture between Matakana Island trust company TKC Holdings and Kapiti-based development company Pritchard Group.

Matakana Island is in freehold title and TKC Holdings owns 2000ha.

Pritchard Group says the development, known as Matakana Waterways, could begin late next year and be completed in 2007.

TKC chairman John Neill said the project would be an economic boost for the island.

"We have housing and employment issues over here. People are living in sheds and caravans and are looking for work. That's not good for the future of the island."

Tuesday August 12, 2003

A battle by Matakana Islanders to save their home from a Pauanui-style canal development is headed for the High Court.

Two-thirds of the island's population, more than 100 people, have threatened to burn down the planned 200-home waterways project if it goes ahead.

The Matakana Island Trust, made up of island residents and their families, had a 51 per cent shareholding in its commercial arm, TKC Holdings, which is driving the Matakana Waterways project, until last October.

When shares in TKC were distributed to individuals, the trust was rendered incapable of making decisions about the island's future.

Lawyer Quentin Duff said he would seek a High Court decision on the share distribution.

Matakana Island sale signals development
11:55AM Monday July 09, 2007

By Graham Skellern - Bay of Plenty Times

Plans for development of areas around Tauranga Harbour have been on the drawing board a long time.

An investment company with bold development plans has bought nearly 2000 hectares on Matakana Island, in Tauranga harbour.

Matakana Investment Group bought all the shares in Te Kotukutuku Corporation - and as a result the group has taken control of the large forested block on the eastern side of the island.

The proceeds of the sale - the amount was not disclosed - went to 27 family groups either living on, or having strong connections with the island.

The bulk of the money was paid out to local shareholders earlier this year but an amount has been retained in a trust.

Up to twelve groups resisted the sales and have retained shares in smaller blocks of land.

TKC Holdings, the commercial arm of Te Kotukutuku, had been looking to develop some of its land for 15 years to improve the prosperity of the island.

TKC Holdings eventually formed a joint venture with Kapiti-based development company Pritchard Group which had plans for an exclusive Pauanui-style residential retreat built around man-made canals and private beaches on 75ha of the coastline near Hunters Creek sawmill.

There was going to be up to 200 sections and eight canals with access via a single waterway on the harbour side of the island.

Pritchard's project, called Matakana Waterways, was unveiled four years ago - but the development company backed off because of a local opposition.

"We got such a hard time that everything was put on hold till we got our plan properly together," said David Pritchard, chief executive of Pritchard Group.

"We are looking to do something on the island and we are slowly working away with all the parties, both on the island and the councils," he said.

Pritchard Group is one of eight investors in Matakana Investment Group which was incorporated in September 2004. The investors come from Wellington, Otaki, Raglan, Auckland and Tauranga.

A Matakana Investment director Brian Fitzgerald told the Bay of Plenty Times that his group will fit in with want the local community wants - it could be a marine project that takes place over 30 to 50 years.

He said there still wasn't any plans drawn up and the investment group had to go through the resource consent process.

Earlier, Pritchard had organised a 200-year lease with TKC Holdings on the 75ha development area. TKC hoped to use revenue from the waterways development to fund educational and technical training scholarships for the Matakana Islanders.

However, it then decided to sell its land. Former TKC chairman John Neill said some of the shareholders were getting older and wanted to enjoy their money; it was a bit of a windfall.

He said they had spent a lot of time on development proposals and they were approached by the Matakana Investment Group.

"I guess they got fed up with the continual aggravation and annoyance about people stepping in at the last minute and scuttling the plans. It became very bitter and the (TKC) shareholders just wanted out - they had fought for so long."

Mr Neill felt the new landowner could achieve more, and he was confident the majority of the 2000 ha block would remain in forestry.

This file is still in progress.

Currently ; Media have been threatened ( Maori TV), The Island residents are living in fear, The Iwi leadership have sold the sacred land for $75m something Sonny was claiming through the Waitangi Claims process. The difference was Sonny was claiming the land for all the people where as the Ngaiterangi leadership wanted it for themselves. Sonny's death paved the way for that to happen. The police file contained many witness statements Sonny's life was being threatened. But police ignored those facts. In the weeks leading up to his death he asked people on his committee to keep away as he felt danger was increasing. His body was found 7 July 1992. The police Detective signed his death certificate as suicide 12 July despite family and others saying his life was in danger from a senior Maori leader who recently (July 2007)cashed up his shares for $20m.

The decoration of the bedrooms should favor total relaxation and relaxation. To achieve this, it is especially important the excellent choice of colors, furniture and of course! Of textiles.
Your room is your most personal space because that is where you rest, where you enjoy the moments of highest privacy or where you can dedicate time to yourself. Sometimes, even, it can be a place to work becoming, also, in your home office. Therefore, it is necessary to renew these rooms every so often, either through a change of furniture, textiles or giving a new life to their walls. Do you want to see some inspiring proposals? Well, go ahead!
Memories Through Photos
We are used to having personal photos in the living room, but what about the bedroom? Pictures are a way to immortalize memories and, in a place as intimate as your bedroom, can serve to give an emotional and personal touch to the room. They are also a straightforward resource to decorate the walls, playing not only with the own image but also with the frame and with the way of combining different photos. Whether using black and white or playing with color, the images are perfect to add life to the bedroom walls.
Colorful combination
A bedroom where the white color reigns can be perceived with more light and amplitude, so it can be recommended if it is small. But a room that incorporates intense colors can add an extra dose of energy and vitality. We have to be careful, however, when combining colors because they must harmonize so that the bedroom is cozy. Therefore, contrast the color with light tones we can serve to achieve the perfect balance and focus on the same color range and play with their shades.
If you are looking for a practical and economical option to give new life to your walls, the wallpaper is perfect. There are many designs and colors with which to display all your creativity to achieve a very personal decoration.
Brick Saw
This option, which years ago was unimaginable in a modern bedroom, is increasingly common in recent homes. A brick wall is ideal for people who love industrial aesthetics and have a daring point. They can also be used in bedrooms that are looking for a rustic style because brick is also associated with this type of construction. When we choose this solution, it is essential to reserve all the decorative protagonism of the bedroom to this wall.
With mirrors
If the bedroom has a little surface, in addition to light colors, you can use mirrors to decorate your walls. Placing a large one with a decorative frame will not only visually expand the space, but it will become the protagonist of the room.
With Pictures
Placing a large format painting of a theme that interests us to dominate the main wall of the bedroom is a way to get a unique bedroom with a simple decoration. Music, nature, art, travel, … choose the theme that best goes with you and … you will guess for sure!

Sucker Punch
Sucker Punch (2011) Director: Zack Snyder Starring: Emily Browning, Abby Cornish, Vanessa Hudgens Rating: PG-13 for CG violence and stuff.
Here's a cute story.
I was preparing for an evening of movie watching. I had my snuggie, a hot cup of Celestial Seasons tea, and a DVD of the 1994 version of Little Women starring a pre shoplifting arrest Winona Ryder.
I popped the disk into the thingee and settled in to watch the sprawling tale of the March sisters as they come of age, fall in love, and try to find their way in Civil War America.
Perhaps director Gillian Armstrong was taking some creative license and had strayed away from the source material, because as I watched the first hour, I noticed some peculiarities about this particular adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's novel:
Did Jo fight giant Samarai warriors in the book?
Why is Meg wearing a leather bustier and shooting Nazi zombies?
Did the 1949 version of this movie have Beth and Amy battling a fire breathing dragon with a World War II era bomber?
Scott Glenn is in this?
It was then I realized I was watching Sucker Punch, a 2011 fantasy/action film directed by Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) and not the American classic Little Women.
Silly me.
The story of Sucker Punch is as follows; Babydoll (Emily Browning) is a hot young girl unjustly locked away in a mental hospital for hot young girls where she plans her escape. Or is Babydoll a hot young dancer locked away in a brothel run by a sleazy mobster where she plans her escape? Or maybe Babydoll is a hot young ass kicking character in a giant videogame who dresses like Sailor Moon and fights off hundreds of bad guys to find the "magic objects" she needs to plan her escape?
Aw heck, why not all three!
Sucker Punch is packed with plenty of CG monsters and robots, lots of machine guns, tons of highly choreographed fight scenes filmed in ultra slick slow mo, and a bunch of hot young actresses dressed like extras from that Lady Marmalade video. It has everything you'd ever want in a movie, if you were Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons.
Like Inception, Sucker Punch is a mind bending story where the line between reality and dreams has been erased, but instead of Leonardo DiCaprio's sour mug for two hours we get to look at the girl from High School Musical shooting guns while dressed as some sort of S&M vampire, so that's both hunky and dory in my book!
If you like your movies confusing, loud, and action packed, I highly recommend Sucker Punch. If you like your tea with the tender sweetness of peaches, I highly recommend the Imperial White Peach tea from Celestial Seasons.
It's like a warm hug in a cup.
Season of the Witch
Season of the Witch (2011) Starring: Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman Director: Dominic Sena Rating: PG-13 for swordfights and witches.
Season of the Witch is a fantasy/adventure thriller set in the terrible time known as the dark ages and is not to be confused with Halloween III: Season of the Witch, a John Carpenter horror film set in an equally terrible time – the eighties. Although to be fair, the eighties had slightly better clothes and the music was totally awesome.
Nicolas Cage plays Behman, a brave knight who quit the Crusades because all the fighting and killing was seriously cutting into his "me" time. With his trusty wisecracking and asskicking pal Felson (played by Ron Perlman who must be contractually obligated to play the wisecracking asskicking sidekick in every B grade sci-fi/fantasy film) Behman returns to Europe where everyone is infected with the black plague, causing them to die a slow death while speaking with American accents.
Behman and Felson find themselves in a village where the priests believe a strange young woman (Claire Foy) is a witch who is causing the plague. Rather than be executed for desertion, the fugitive knights agree to transport the girl to a remote monastery where a book will kill the witch, stop the plague and make the dark ages a happy place for everyone!
There's lots of action and suspense in Season of the Witch as Cage, Perlman, and a group of supporting actors who will die according to their order in the credits battle CG wolves and a flying demon who talks like a character in a Speed Racer episode while protecting a girl who may not be who she seems. Unfortunately director Dominic Sena took the whole "dark" age thing quite literally so it's very hard to see what's going on since most scenes look like they were filmed through a welding helmet with a #10 shield.
If you were a welder, you'd be laughing right now.
The most important thing you can take away from Season of the Witch is that women cannot be trusted. So if you meet a beautiful girl you connect with on a spiritual level who shares your hopes and dreams be warned – she is a she devil who will burn your very soul and then run off with a some personal finance douche she met at the coffee place across the street where you two used to hang out on Sundays listening to NPR while thinking EVERYTHING WAS JUST MOTHERFRACKING FINE!!!!!
I'm going to stop now.

Blaze with a thin red or purple layer just inside the living bark. Lenticels generally conspicuous and nearly all elongated laterally. A sticky exudate, with a pine-like (Pinus spp.) odour, may appear on small trees.
Leaflet blades about 5.5-17 x 1.5-4.8 cm, usually slightly furry or felty on the underside. About 10-18 main lateral veins on each side of the midrib but very few other veins visible.
Inflorescence hairs stellate. Sepals ovate to suborbicular, about 1-2 mm long. Petals elliptic, about 5-9.5 mm long. Ovules 3 on each side of the placenta.
Capsules about 7-15 cm long, outer surface muricate with relatively long excrescences. Seeds winged at both ends, radicle lateral.
Cotyledons much wider than long, aligned in a vertical plane and held close to the stem, hairy on both surfaces. First few leaves simple, obovate.

Endemic to NEQ, widespread throughout the area. Altitudinal range from sea level to 1200 m. Grows in well developed rain forest on a variety of sites but reaches its best development in upland and mountain rain forest.
Natural History
The bark of most Flindersia spp. contains compounds of considerable chemical interest. Everist (1974).
This observation was imprinted on the author's mind by a story told to him by some aboriginal forestry workers in the Kuranda area. The story goes something like this: 'We found the sugar bag (native bee hive ) and cut it out of the tree it was in. Rather than put it on the ground and get it contaminated with dirt and pebbles, we stripped the bark off a Silver Ash (Flindersia bourjotiana) and placed the sugar bag on the clean, inner surface of the freshly stripped clean bark. Later on when we had eaten all the sugar bag we could see fairies floating through the rainforest.' Whether the hallucinations were induced by the exudates from the F. bourjotiana or from components of the sugar bag or from some completely unrelated source will never be known with certainty.
Formerly used in the manufacture of barrels (cooperage), cricket stumps, billiard cues and tool handles. Swain (1928).
Produces a very pale high quality cabinet timber which takes a high polish.
Wood specific gravity 0.64. Cause et al. (1989).

State grapples with severe nursing shortage
Demand is outstripping supply of nurses in Maryland, a report from the Maryland Hospital Association said.The vacancy rate for nursing positions in the state rose to 13% last year from 10.3% in 2005. Meanwhile, the number of nursing school graduates rose significantly between 2001 and 2005. Hospitals in the state would have to hire an additional 2,340 nurses to meet current demand, the report said. A dire shortage of nurses in coming years is also expected as older nurses retire.
Despite the need, nursing schools last year had to turn away almost half of qualified applicants, according to the report.

100 Years of Guiding in West Lothian
Published in Konect West Lothian editions, April 2017
2017 marks the 100th anniversary of Girl Guiding in West Lothian. Linlithgow and Broxburn were the first towns in West Lothian where girls formed companies to join what in 1917 was the new Guiding organisation, soon followed by other towns.
Today there are Girl Guiding groups in most towns and villages in West Lothian. Guiding provides fun, friendship and a whole lot of other things for girls from ages 5 to 25. The organisation is structured by age group, with Rainbows for ages 5-7; Brownies for ages 7-10; Guides for ages 10-14; and a Senior Section for ages 14-25.
Emma Brash is a leader for Mid Calder Brownies and is also responsible for promoting Guiding all over West Lothian. She met with me to enthuse about the organisation that she has been involved with since she joined as a Rainbow.
"For me, Guiding is about adventure," says Emma. "Adventure simply means doing something different, something new, that you wouldn't otherwise do in your everyday life. For example, we recently went badger-watching with the West Lothian Country Park Rangers; our local brownies put on a play together; and we had a STEM themed pack holiday weekend where we linked in a visit to the Museum of Flight"
In their weekly sessions, the girls help decide what activities they would like to do, which includes working towards gaining badges in a range of interests, everything from art, music and reading to sports and outdoors skills. Besides this, there are opportunities for experiencing adventures out and about, and meeting up with Guides from other areas for special camps. It's about challenges, expanding horizons, firing the imagination and pushing boundaries; as well as friendship and security. "My favourite memory from Brownies is the sleepover at the science centre, all the games we played and the parties we have," says one of the Mid Calder Brownies.
In 2017 you can't avoid the question of "why girls only?" Emma says, "Girlguiding is a place where girls can come together and be given the chance to be heard and the chance to do what they want, without being told they can't. All girls are welcomed in Guiding as it's a space for them to learn, thrive and meet new people."
Leaders are needed all over West Lothian. You don't need to have Guiding experience in order to volunteer as a leader – everyone has different skills they can bring. All you need is an interest in working with young people and making sure the girls are enjoying what they are doing. "Being a Leader is a great experience. You learn new skills that you can transfer to your work and other areas of life," says Emma. "It's also like a big support group – Leaders support each other, you make great friends, and meet people from all over Scotland and further afield via the regular group camps. I have loved volunteering for Girlguiding to give a little back of what the organisation has done for me." If you are interested in becoming a Leader with any group in West Lothian, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or find more information at www.girlguiding.org.uk/get-involved
If your daughter is interested in joining Girl Guides, please visit the girl guiding website at www.girlguiding.org.uk/get-involved , email email@example.com or check the Clubs and Classes pages of this magazine where details of the local companies are listed every month.
1st Linlithgow Guide Company was the first company registered in West Lothian, in December 1917. A group of teenagers from Linlithgow Academy, having heard about Guiding – which was at that time a relatively new movement having been set up in 1909 – were keen to have their own local company. They approached one of their teachers at the academy, who knew about Guiding as her sister was already involved in Guiding in Broxburn. She enthusiastic in her support and arranged the formation of the 1st Linlithgow Guide Company. The 1st Broxburn Guide Company was registered in Febriary 1918 although they had been meeting prior to this.

Studies in Language and Literature
As part of the Diploma Programme (DP), students take at least one subject from studies in language and literature. Taking two studies in language and literature subjects in different languages is one way of obtaining a bilingual diploma.
The courses offer a broad range of texts, and students grow to appreciate a language's complexity, wealth and subtleties in a variety of contexts. Students take their studies in a language in which they are academically competent.
At BSJ we offer the following Group 1 Subjects:
- Language A: literature in English, Indonesian and Korean
- Language A: language and literature in English only
Through each course, students are able to develop:
- a personal appreciation of language and literature
- skills in literary criticism using a range of texts from different periods, styles and genres
- an understanding of the formal, stylistic and aesthetic qualities of texts
- strong powers of expression, both written and oral
- an appreciation of cultural differences in perspective
- an understanding of how language challenges and sustains ways of thinking.
Through studies in language and literature, the DP aims to develop a student's lifelong interest in language and literature, and a love for the elegance and richness of human expression.

The WC-135W "Constant Phoenix" aircraft collects particulate and gaseous debris from the accessible regions of the atmosphere in support of the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963.
The U.S. continues to take active measures to prepare for the possibility of a nuclear test by North Korea, U.S. officials told NBC News, including the deployment of a special nuclear "sniffer" aircraft, drones, and U-2 spy planes.
The U.S. Air Force's special sniffer plane is capable of detecting evidence of a nuclear explosion.

Two U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News that North Korea is in a position to conduct a nuclear test with little or no warning.
"We expect that they are able to do it at any time, without any real warning," one official said. "They have been engaging in steady preparations."
The officials would neither confirm nor deny that the U.S. has detected signs that a test is imminent.
Three U.S. military officials said the Chinese military is currently on a higher alert as part of a nationwide exercise. The exercise is defensive in nature and not focused on the region near North Korea.
During a Thursday press conference with Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni, President Trump called North Korea a "menace." He answered a reporter's question about instability in North Korea by praising China's president and China's actions in the region.
"As far as North Korea is concerned, we are in very good shape," said Trump. "I respect [President Xi Jinping] very much, and I think he's working very hard… Some very unusual moves have been made over the past two or three hours and I really have confidence that the president will try very hard."

If you're like the vast majority of web designers, your pages all use tables for layout. You design them this way because, of course, tables can be used to create sidebars and to set up a complicated structure for an entire page's appearance. You might even use tables for simpler tasks, like putting text in a colored box with a border. When you think about it, though, you shouldn't need a table for such simple tasks. If you want only a paragraph with a red border and a yellow background, shouldn't creating it be easier than wrapping a single-cell table around it?
The authors of CSS felt it should, indeed, be easier, so they devoted a great deal of attention to allowing you to define borders for paragraphs, headings, divs, anchors, images—darned near everything a web page can contain. These borders can set an element apart from others, accentuate its appearance, mark certain kinds of data as having been changed, or any number of other things.

Laser Liposuction
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a procedure to reshape the body and is not used for weight loss purposes.
Is Liposuction for everyone?
Not everyone is a good candidate for lipo or laser-lipo, that's why we never commit to do a treatment or quote a price without examining the patient.
What is Laser Lipo?
In Laser-Lipo procedure, a laser beam is applied to the skin and the laser energy melts the fat and makes the skin tighter. It becomes easier to perform suction of the fat as it is melted/liquefied fat. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
After the Procedure
Patients are asked to wear a pressure garment after the procedure and it takes 3-6 months to see the final results.
Schedule a Consultation
Contact us today at (603) 886-5506 to learn more about Liposuction and schedule a consultation at one of our offices serving Boston, Nashua NH, and surrounding areas.

Carabao Island is the poor neighbour of Boracay.Even though it is only 35 to 50 minutes away depending on the tide, Carabao is a world away in real terms from Boracay. Carabao Island can be seen from Puka beach on the north end of Boracay and seems so close and easy to visit, but getting there is another story.
There is no direct link between the two islands even though they are close neighbours. All passengers need to travel via Caticlan unless booking an island hopping tour from Boracay.This turns the short trip into a 5 hour journey.
The landing stage is a beach 20 minutes walk east of the main Caticlan port. Since the bangka cannot get right up on the beach anyone wishing to board needs to wade a short distance into the sea to climb the gangplank and if like me will always get their shorts wet.
The daily bangka is the islands lifeline, bringing in vital supplies like fresh fruit, eggs, rice, and dried goods from Caticlan as well as the few tourists that venture that way.
There is also a daily service from Santa Fe on Tablas Island to Carabao which leaves around 10.00 am and takes about an hour.
The jetty at Port Said is on the other side of the island near the capital San Jose. There is not much to do on this side of Carabao. The town is really small and is about a 20 minute walk from the jetty along a sandy road.
The beautiful white beach is nearly 1km long but is only visible at low tide. As you walk into town you will pass some marble statues of Carabaos in the garden of the Mayors house, and these are likely to be the only ones you do see. There may be a few more out on a farm somewhere but you will have to look for them.
About the only place to stay on this side of the island is also in the house of the mayor. You cannot miss his house as it is the biggest and grandest one around. I actually stayed in the Mayors house on a previous trip to this island.
In town there is a small market which sells a few vegetables and basic supplies. The centre of San Jose is taken up with the local municipal buildings and school and a small barangay.

Hi, here is a post i read about fasciculation potentials that were measured in healthy people as part of a study, i will put the posting below. I assumed this to mean that 1.5% of the normal everyday people in the study had benign fasciculations mainly in the feet. I am not sure this is true so would appreciate any comments on interrpreting the article.
The aim of this study was to investigate the fasciculation potentials (FPs) in the small-peripheral muscles of the foot and hand and the possible associated factors, in a healthy population. One hundred-twenty-two normal individuals (65 men and 57 women), aged 17-67 years (mean 39.96, SD=12.76) participated in the study. A special questionnaire consisting of 47 questions was devised as the basic instrument of the interview, which included the Hamilton anxiety rating scale. The extensor digitorum brevis (EDB), the flexor hallucis brevis (FHB) and the first dorsal interosseous (FDI) muscles were studied bilaterally using surface electrodes. In 94 (58 men and 36 women) from 122 participants (65 men and 57 women) FPs were recorded (men 89.2%, women 63.1%, all 77%). The mean FPs per minute and muscle, in all three muscles, was 8.0 (SD=4.6). More FPs were recorded in the muscles of foot than in FDI (p<0.01) and in FHB than in EDB (p<0>0.1, p<0.01). The syndrome of benign FPs was observed in 2 men (1.6% of men). These results suggest that FPs are a very common phenomenon in the peripheral muscles of healthy persons.
Any comments on what this means exactly would be good but i took it to be a positve and that foot twitching is indeed very common???

Where is the food?
The foods that we eat have a great bearing on how we feel. I do understand that in today's society money allows us to eat well or lack of money sometimes allows us to not eat at all.
I also do understand that hunger hurts and as citizens of the world, we ought to make certain that we help each other to have a decent meal. So we should take a little from ourselves and donate it to maybe a shelter or some sort.
There are many Christian organization that have designed themselves to collect and provide food for the poor and needy.
So seek out these christian organization and donate to them with a little prayer than what little you give can fill someone's heart with contentment.
In certain places where it is possible to have a garden, the benefits of a proper vegetable meal can be more practical than lets say city folks, but none the less, you can still grow vegetables in large pots making certain that they get adequate water and sun light.
Nothing taste better than a home grown vegetable and probably is better for you, considering its pesticide free or as they say organically grown by your own hands.
So knowing these facts can allow you to make a difference in the world and also keep you healthier.
Tomorrow, we will discuss meat eaters……

This is a rush transcript from "Special Report," December 5, 2014. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
BRET BAIER, ANCHOR: Each week we ask you to vote online in our Friday Lightning Round poll for your favorite panel topic. Here today you choose the national debt as it reached a new high this week. We're back with the panel. As you take a look at this chart, the national debt since 2009, it is now over $18 trillion. And can you see how much it has grown since the president took office, a president who campaigned in 2008, obviously, Yochi, saying that the debt was a major problem and that President Bush was using the credit card and the bank of China. What about the debt and how big a deal it is and how it factors in now?
YOCHI DREAZEN, MANAGING EDITOR, FOREIGN POLICY MAGAZINE: I think what we need to point to is that the budget deficit that has gone down, he would say that we are spending less than we were, that that debt is shrinking, that he is being a careful steward of the taxpayer dollar. I think this figure is staggering, the chart up is staggering. But what really I think is going to decide how people look at him is jobs, it's wages. It's not going to be something as abstract to my mind as debt and deficit.
AMY WALTER, NATIONAL EDITOR, COOK POLITICAL REPORT: I absolutely agree. The fact that there was a good economics report today, 300,000 jobs, is part of the good news. But the real bad news in the chart, I think, that is the most damaging is the one that looks at, first of all, the GDP growth for the last 15 years which has been pretty flat, like under two percent, and the fact that median income in this country is just stagnant since 2000. So people have not seen a raise in 15 years. They are not feeling it.
BAIER: You heard Saxby Chambliss talk about the debt and his frustration that it's always wait until the next election.
STEVE HAYES, SENIOR WRITER, THE WEEKLY STANDARD: I disagree actually with both of you. I mean, I think that jobs and wages are the proximate short-term problem. But when you are talking about the long-term problem of the United States, we have made no progress towards resolving our deficit. We know what the cause of the debt crisis is. It's entitlements. And rather than address any of the entitlement issues that we he have we have actually added a new entitlement over the last six years. It's not sustainable. It will cause I think major problems to the U.S. economy, to the global economy, unless it's solved.
BAIER: OK, a couple of things. Chris Christie, bridge-gate, it depends on where you stood. Some people looked at it, oh, look, he's getting off the hook. Others said this if far from over, and they point to this committee report. The committee is not in a position currently to conclude that what Governor Christie himself knew about the lane closures or when and how his knowledge of these events developed. Changer? Interim? What is this?
HAYES: I think it helps him. I suspect it won't get the kind of blanket coverage that the initial allegations got for him. But, look, this helps. It's another in a series of reports that at least partially exonerates him or suggests that he didn't know or, if he did know, he wasn't pulling the strings.
BAIER: Amy?
WALTER: Chris Christie's bigger problem is the fact that he still has not seen by conservatives as the candidate of choice. And his numbers, it's been before the bridge shutdown, been certainly the Sandy coverage that he got, standing with the president, that didn't help. The sense that among a lot of conservatives that he is not a real fiscal conservative. There is a tremendous amount of frustration there. His negatives are higher than almost any other candidate the Republican side -- among Republicans. I'm not talking about in the big picture.
BAIER: Sit down and shut up may do that. Who knows? Yochi, let's go to winners and losers. First winner, then loser.
DREAZEN: Winner, Ash Carter. His lifelong dream of becoming secretary of defense is finally coming true. Loser, Ash Carter, his lifelong dream of becoming secretary of defense is finally comes true. He gets to have the joy of running the Pentagon when budgets for defense are plummeting, when the Joint Chiefs of Staff are angry, when we have a faltering war against the Islamic State, when we have Russia on the march in eastern Europe, when we have China and its ships and its Navy moving in the Southeast China sea.
BAIER: But he has a card to play.
DREAZEN: He does. And that card is no president has ever had more than four secretaries of defense. He is number four. So he can say, hey, Mr. President, fire me.
BAIER: You don't want to be five.
DREAZEN: Make history.
BAIER: All right, Amy, winner and loser?
WALTER: My winner is John Boehner. I think that he had a pretty good week. The fact that this lame duck Congress, a lot of people had said he is not going to be able to keep his fractious conference together. It's going to explode and we're going to have a government shutdown. It doesn't look like any of that is coming true. They're going to be able to recess on time next week.
And for the loser, you have to look at southern Democrats this weekend. Saturday is the runoff in Louisiana where Senator Mary Landrieu is expected to lose. And there is now only -- there are only three Democrats in the south, two of them are in the Senate, two of them are in Virginia, one in Florida.
BAIER: Super quick.
HAYES: My winner is Chris Christie for reasons we discussed before. My loser is Rolling Stone magazine because of the thing, the issues laid out in Doug McKelway's piece, and the fact when they semi-retracted their story they seemed to blame their source, saying we shouldn't have put so much trust in the source -- that's not a good way to retract it.
BAIER: Bad idea, bad idea. That's it for the panel. But stay tuned for a motivational speech that's right on target.

The German foreign Minister spoke about the usefulness of German and Russian together
Foreign Minister of Germany, Sigmar Gabriel, announced the desire to quickly normalize relations between Russia and Ukraine in order to subsequently withdraw from Moscow sanctions. He stated this in an interview with RT.
"We are a peaceful country, we want to help ensure that peace reigned in other parts of the world, that relations between Ukraine and Russia have become better, no matter how difficult it is today. We want the Minsk group process to promote peace, to lift sanctions against Russia", — said Gabriel.
The head of the German foreign Ministry stressed that Russia and Europe have always been neighbors and they will remain in the future.
As Germans we know that we need Russian and Russian we need to work together to ensure that we got better from the economic point of view, (…) so we held back the conflict.Sigmar Gabriella the German foreign Ministry
Previously Gabrielle has approved the initiative of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin on the establishment of the UN mission in the Donbass. In his opinion, the entry of peacekeepers may contribute to the abolition of anti-Russian sanctions.
This statement provoked a negative reaction in Kiev. The Minister of foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin said that "this is harmful", and the statement of Gabriel can be seen "as flirting with the Kremlin."
5 Sep Russia on the instructions of Vladimir Putin has introduced in the Security Council of the United Nations resolution on the placement of the demarcation line between the Ukrainian troops and militias of Donbass UN peacekeepers. They must ensure the safety of OSCE staff in the region.

What does it mean to feel 48% surprised and 18% joyful? Over recent years, new software has emerged that estimates what people feel based on their facial expressions. Emotion Hero is an Android game that encourages one to investigate how face and feelings are represented by the software. The central question is, what is it we are looking at when we read emotion scores? Which leads one to wonder, what is it we're looking for in these numbers?

SEO Step 1: Keywords
Keywords, the infamous keywords...
As I posted in the previous post about blogging on your site, the first steps in a SEO campaign should be a part of the website building process. For those who do not build websites, lol, I decided to write a few details about those steps too.
How do you want new customers to find you on the web? What words are people likely to use when they search for your company or for the products you offer? Your answers to these questions are your "keywords" and they are integral to building an effective online presence.
A few guiding steps when you create yor keywords:

Beaded Knitting: The "Verna-X" Beadle NeedleThe Verna-X adds beads for beaded knitting in basically the same method as the crochet hook. It has a hook at the end, not a notch as with other Beadle Needles.
Published: Thursday 28 July, 2016
Beaded Knitting: Using A Crochet HookThis is a great beaded knitting technique for adding beads as you go along. (à la minute, as the French would say). This technique doesn't require planning ahead, but since the fiber will now pass doubled through each bead you're slightly limited in the beads and yarn weights you can use.

Beaded Knitting: Pre-StringingThis is a tutorial to show you beaded knitting using the pre-stringing method. There are two essential techniques to beaded knitting. You can either pre-string the beads, or you can use a small hook to add beads to your project as you go along.
