With strongly and beautifully worded pieces and a powerful presence, Tolu Agbelusi's work addresses the unperformed self, womanhood and the art of living. Her delivery is simply, enchanting. Known for simplicity and incredible depth, Tolu is a Nigerian British, poet, playwright, facilitator and lawyer, with compelling story telling skills.
Listed in 2017 as one the Best Black British Writers of Colour by Speaking Volumes, Tolu was also 'Longlisted for the inaugural Jerwood Compton Poetry Fellowships'. She has performed widely including at the Southbank's WOW Festival 2017 with her project 'Conversations With My Sisters', as one of the headline poets at Southdown Poetry Festival, at St Paul's Cathedral as part of 'Thy Kingdom Come' and as Poet in Residence at Postman's Park in collaboration with the Poetry School and London Park's and Garden's Trust. She was also a member of Bards Without Borders who toured the UK in 2016.
Notably, in 2016, Tolu was awarded 2 Art's Council grants to produce the Home Is… project , a poetry based, cross-arts exploration of home and displacement involving interviews, workshops, a poetry-play and a visual arts exhibition that showcased animation, dance, documentary and illustration, all in collaboration with poetry. Tolu showcased her writing, performance, curatorial, production and facilitation skills through this process. The play Ilé La Wà, Tolu's debut multi-hander received rave reviews from theatre critics and should be touring shortly.
Building on the project, Tolu launched #HomeSessions, a seasonal 3 month poetry program for writers of colour under the age of 30. She also facilitates writing sessions on demand, most recently as Associate Artist for 3ff on their young people's manifesto project, leading a workshop at the Southdown Poetry Festival and as a guest speaker at King's College London.

There's no end to the chatter out there about the power and awesomeness of big data. (Okay, I'm guilty of that as well.) And we're only getting started with things — Big Data has many applications we haven't even dreamed of yet.
But nobody is really talking about where insurance companies are going to put all that data.
The problem is, once data is converted into something meaningful--customer records, insights, communications, analyses--there's more of an onus to keep it around. In fact, there may even be legal requirements (or threats of legal actions) that necessitate holding data for seven years to life.
So, when an organization is dealing with 500 terabytes of data from various sources and for various purposes, guess what? That's at least 100 terabytes of disk space, when allowing for compression. The data needs to be stored on disks or tapes, and still be accessible. Then there's still metadata, or data about the data, on top of that.
So the numbers for disk storage systems, which could also include off-site or cloud-type storage, begin to add up. What is the smart way to handle all this overhead?
Bill Kleyman, writing in Data Center Knowledge, provides an excellent discussion of what needs to be considered when storing all that big data — especially for a distributed, "cloud-ready" environment:
Consider bandwidth. For efficiency, it's important to calculate bandwidth, Kleyman says, and this requires understanding a number of factors, such as "distance the data has to travel (number of hops), failover requirements, amount of data being transmitted, and the number of users accessing the data concurrently."
Develop a replication policy. "In some cases, certain types of databases or applications being replicated between storage systems have their own resource needs. Make sure to identify where the information is going and create a solid replication policy."
Pick the right storage platform. Factors to consider include whether the system can support planned or future utilization, and how easily data can be migrated, and data control mechanisms.
Control the data flow. "Basically, there needs to be consistent visibility in how storage traffic is flowing and how efficiently it's reaching the destination."
Use intelligent storage (thin provisioning/deduplication). An intelligent data deduplication strategy will free up immense amounts of space on disks, Kleyman advises. In addition, he adds, "look for controllers which are virtualization-ready. This means that environments deploying technologies like VDI, application virtualization or even simple server virtualization should look for systems which intelligently provision space – without creating unnecessary duplicates."

Thank you for your letter. I laughed and nodded along as I read it, and I shared it with all the rest of my parent friends.
Thank you for babysitting! I understand those 3 hours seem like an eternity of suffering; the 3 hours of quiet you gave my wife and I were an eternity of bliss!
Thank you for understanding when we have to leave your party early to get our children home to bed.
Thank you for letting us decide what to do on the nights we have a babysitter!
Thank you for letting us take 3x as long to do everything.
Thank you for always coming to our house for dinner because it's child-proof.
Thank you for going out of your way to meet at a time and place that works around nap-time.
Thank you for talking to and playing with our kids when they are with us.
Thank you for holding our kid while we clean up the embarrassing mess they left at the restaurant.
Thank you for bringing them a new book for story-time.
Thank you for re-scheduling the work meeting because my kid is sick.
Thank you for taking over so many tasks for our social group.
Thank you for being the one to call me instead of waiting for me to call you.
And I'm sorry.
Sorry I don't answer your text messages.
Sorry I rarely ever go out anymore.
Sorry I forgot your birthday/graduation/other-special-occasion.
Sorry for being so up-tight about germs.
Sorry for having to stop our conversation abruptly to chase down my kid.
Sorry for being so chaotic.
Sorry for being jealous and envious of your frequent dinner dates, your vacations, your boredom, or that awesome open source project you built in your free time. (What's that?!)
But while I was writing this letter - which took a whole week, one or both of my daughters have:
said "Dada, I need a hug,"
asked to be held countless times,
giggled uncontrollably as I tickled her,
run up and down our hallway continuously for 10 minutes to tackle me,
been "Beast", "Belle," "Emily," "Nemo," "Bruce," or a dozen other characters,
hugged me with "legs and everything" when I asked,
squealed with delight as she rolled a bowling ball straight into a gutter,
learned to swim back to the edge of the pool by herself,
fallen asleep in my arms while I sing to her,
called out for me when thunder woke her up at night.
Thank you for sticking with me. I'm sorry our friendship has stretched so much, but I hope we'll have great times watching these two new little friends grow up with us.

Crossing the Atlantic by Rachel Westwood
Arriving in Tenerife on Saturday 24th November I was greeted by my disgustingly brown and healthy looking parents who, to add insult to injury had both lost weight since I last saw them in September. Apparently the cruising life was treating them well and their separation from their dearly beloved children (the youngest of which is a very tender 24 and liable to suffer issues in later life concerning abandonment) were clearly not causing them the heart ache and trauma that any self-respecting offspring would expect.
Gripes aside, it was pretty good to see them especially given that I'd left a miserable, grey London that was getting steadily colder and steadily wetter. That having been said there isn't much wetter than the Atlantic ocean but it's all relative, at least the water wasn't falling from the sky and I didn't have to contend with miserable, bedraggled commuters on the tube.
Rather than a blow by blow account (too much to remember and not sure how interesting 'saw lots of sea, had cornbeef hash for tea, dad a bit annoying' would be) I give you instead the Westwood's A-Z of sailing the Atlantic. Read the bits you want, don't bother with the rest.
Atlantic Ocean
Westwood's 1 – Atlantic Ocean 0! Taking a route approximately half way between the middle and southern we headed south west from the Canaries for 5 days and then routed west at about 21 degrees north for the rest of the trip.
20 days, 2800 nautical miles sailed and an average speed of just over 6 knots. Not bad going and what made skipper especially happy was that a 54′ Oyster had only managed it in 22. He had to restrain himself from rubbing his hands together with glee.
The safety briefing was pretty straightforward 'don't fall in and if you do, yell like hell' and 'avoid getting a shark up your arse' were the wise words of dad and mum respectively and filled me with confidence that this was going to be smooth sailing. In skipper's defence he also showed me how to set off the emergency beacon and probably would have briefed me further if he thought either a) I'd have paid enough attention for it to be of any use or b) there was any chance I could have been helpful had anything happened to him. As it was, we'd have been screwed. And he knew it.
Culinary matters
The crossing was predicted to last 2.5-3 weeks so of course they needed to stock up accordingly. Instead they had catered for the nuclear holocaust and then some. It opened a whole new (unwelcome) world of the variety of food stuffs that can be tinned or pickled.Ingeniously and in order to keep track of everything, mum had stuck a post-it on the inside of every cupboard door with a list of the culinary treats that you could find within – 'mystery meat' bring a favourite being categorised by either a white or red variety. As you diminished the tin supply you were obliged to cross off from the list. Failure to do so could result in quarrelling (see separate entry).Given the rolling (see separate entry) motion of the crossing skipper took all cheffing duties on himself. This impressively included fresh bread, pizza from scratch and even cakes to the delight of the crew. Skipper maintained that good food was crucial for keeping up morale and created a good way to organise the day. The crew were not going to argue with that.
Seen on one occasion at sunset where they swam alongside for 20 minutes keeping us entertained. True show offs when we stopped paying full attention (drinks had arrived) they started leaping clear of the water in the style of an attention seeking child.
English Harbour
Our first port of call, the historic Nelson's Dockyard in English Harbour, Antigua. And if you want to know more Wikipedia will oblige. This isn't a history lesson.
Flying fish
As well as being a spectacle to watch make good eating!The only positive to come out of 'disaster Friday' (see Mishaps) was that the out of action sail, now tied to the foredeck proved an effective net for trapping flying fish as they whizzed over the boat (typically at night). Skipper tried to claim that this was a successful fishing attempt. The crew weren't having it. He did however fry them up with a bit of ginger and served them on fresh bread with butter. Delicious.
Green flash
Reported to occur on a clear evening with the sun setting into the sea the green flash was keenly awaited as we supped sundowners (see separate entry) but always managed to elude us. Most of the crew are now convinced that it may actually be just a myth but the skipper remains convinced (and reports to have seen them on numerous occasions since arrival)
We were surrounded by the salty variety and had to ration the fresh as we could only carry 500 litres. Which meant three showers in just under three weeks (eugh) and hair that defied gravity given its salt content. Unfortunately despite my whining skipper was proved justified when on the last morning on our approach to English Harbour (see separate entry) we ran out. Although had the worst happened we could always have drank the water from the multitude of tinned vegetables. I'm sure pea juice would have been both hydrating and tasty. Or not.
I spy
Skipper was unsure of how much diesel we had so DVDs were a no go. After continuous two weeks of continuous reading there are few things that will keep you amused. Mum and I decided to try 'I spy':
'I spy with my little eye something beginning with…s'
We felt we had the game down until dad asked whether he could play:
'I'm going to try something different – this h could be 'metaphysical' .
We didn't know what metaphysical was…got bored…the game ended and was never played again.
Were not required (haha). Bar a couple of nights at the beginning days were spent in shorts and t-shirts. Perfect apart from the tan lines that make you look like you've been dipped in brown paint up to your thighs.
The saviour of the first mate and deck hand who managed to avoid hours of threatened boredom. Skipper kept himself amused by constantly finding things to do on the boat or playing with his drum kit (all drinks cans were bashed flat to save space). Likened to a puppy there was endless enthusiasm for a thousand jobs and a constant need to be moving around. And like a puppy a pat on the head often led to a wag of the tail.
Ever the educator skipper was keen to show me the ropes (excuse the pun). Overhand, round turn and two half hitches, reef, figure of eight and bowline (kind of) are now all part of my know tying repertoire. Not sure how handy being able to tie a reef knot behind my back will be in my London office job but should I ever join the scouts I'll be golden.
Star constellations and nautical terms (see official language) were also favourite topics.
Despite the trade winds behaving as expected there were a few incidents that we could have done without. 'Disaster Friday' – was six days in. Skipper was trying to get the (brand new!) jib sail down and hadn't noticed it had got jammed, when it came free it flew backwards, tangling itself in the wind generator on the mizzen mast at the stern of the boat. The sail ripped so as not to be usable and we missed the best sunset of the trip.
As if we hadn't had enough about an hour later after a subdued dinner the wind generator started making a lot of noise. At this point it was after dark so skipper got a torch to investigate. It turns out that in the sail/generator fight and despite the rip the wind generator came off worse, now hanging off a single bracket and threatening to fall at any given moment.
And so, safety lines attached skipper scaled the mast, in the dark, amid rolling seas to secure the bugger (both wind generator brand name and apt for the occasion). Pretty darn impressive for an old bloke: put me in mind of an ageing action man.
Our other notable mishap was also the 24 hours that we made the most progress (averaging over 7.5 knots) but the wind proved too much for the sail configuration and the pole supporting the genoa sail snapped on night watch. Secured over night 'less haste more speed' was the lesson of the day.
Night shifts
All watches were split into 3 hour shifts, starting at midnight. During the day it was informal but at night you were on your own. Skipper woke me, I woke first mate etc. Which meant I hated skipper, first mate hated me etc.Apart from being woken up night shifts were a great opportunity to star gaze – the milky way was visible if the sky was clear and a meteorite shower produced so many shooting stars that we lost count. It also provided a sense of perfect solitude and the opportunity to reflect and be truly introspective if the mood took you. Fortunately for you, it didn't.
Official language
When on a boat (yacht) speak like you're on a boat. No more left/right, it's all about port/starboard. No more upstairs/downstairs, it's above and below deck to you missy. No more 'dad' it's 'mister skipper, sir.' Ok, so the last one not even dad tried to implement. He'd have faced either mockery or mutiny from his crew, neither being desirable, best to understand the limits of your authority.
Conveniently forgetting the nautical terms: 'can you grab my sunglasses, they're downstairs in the lounge to the right in the desk' is an entertaining version of poke the bear (see entry below)
Poke the bear
A great game to pass the time in a confined space – pick a topic you know will wind one of your crew mates up and start to 'poke.' The rules are very simple, if they rise to it you win. Of course they don't know that you're playing and the threat of violence in response to your goading is always a potential threat (see quarrelling).
Surprisingly few given the confined space and proximity of a small family group. Dad only threatened to stab me (he was careful to emphasise with a knife) once. Given the circumstances I think that's pretty good going as he had no cause to carry out his threat, even better.
The biggest cause for complaint for trans-Atlantic crews is the motion of the ocean (not a euphamism). The almost continual rolling makes it difficult to move, cook, eat and sleep, is responsible for a myriad of bruises and the grumpiness of the crew.
An alcoholic beverage to be consumed as the sun goes down. Beer and wine both get a mention but the ever trusty G&T as usual comes up trumps. Being ever vigilant and not being advocates of drunk driving, quantities were kept modest but it is a ritual that I'm going to bring home with me, albeit one that has to be restricted to the summer months unless I'm going to keep a hip flask under my desk at work.
Our port of origin and last view of civilisation. Not to mention the last opportunity I had for rethinking three weeks at sea with only the parentals for company. As it faded into the horizon I had to question my sanity. At least I knew I wasn't going to starve.
UHT milk
My parents tried to poison me with it.
Official term for being sick, vomiting, chucking your guts up etc. Thankfully incidents were low (a dodgy olive put mum off for the rest of the trip) and kept to the first couple of days. Once sea legs were acquired after the first few days business can go about as normal, almost.
'thar she blows' was called just once during the trip exactly half way across when a pilot whale and her calf joined us for over three hours providing unofficial encouragement. Having done the official recce mum stayed a couple of hundred feet away whilst baby stayed close to the boat popping up every now and agin for a quick hello.
Marks the spot. We didn't find any treasure but there's bound to be some. It's a pretty big ocean.
The old girl did us proud. She kept us warm, dry and safe for the duration with only the occasional protest if we pushed it too hard. She is named after two pretty impressive women though so she did have something to live up to.
Napping is key to any successful trip when you're running shifts and I was the undisputed queen. Golden blanket striven for and achieved.

Autism Speaks is proud to partner with DoSomething.org to take a stand against bullying!
Bullying is far too common in the autism community and Autism Speaks is committed to combating this growing problem. Earlier this month, Autism Speaks provided funding to DoSomething.org to launch a campaign called Musical Mixup. This exciting and innovative campaign encourages young people nationwide to play musical chairs at lunch and sit with new people in order to increase acceptance and reduce bullying as a result. As part of the funding, all students who sign up will be entered to win a $10,000 scholarship!
In the first two weeks of the campaign, there have already been over 3,000 sign ups. Below are just a few of the testimonials we've received from students excited to participate and increase acceptance in their schools:
As a former bully victim I find this issue of extreme importance. I wanted to show the school that yes, bullying still happens, especially in our school. I wanted everyone to experience being with different people and embracing their differences --which is why we hosted the event on Unity Day. I want to continue to help acknowledge that this issue is of extreme importance so that we can minimize the numbers of depressed, anxiety-ridden, and suicidal preteens and teens in our nation.
Anti-bullying efforts are important to me because I believe bullying is a terrible unacceptable action that happens much too often. On a personal level I am really affected by the bullying I see my brother going through. My brother has Asperger Syndrome and is often picked on and hurt both emotionally and even physically by his peers. I will not accept my brother or any other individual to be bullied, and I am determined and dedicated to join or create a movement to help end bullying. Anti-bullying efforts are helping make the world a better place for everyone and I greatly appreciate that.
This is important to me because it gave me an opportunity to make new friends on the first day of school and sit with the type of crowd that I normally would not sit with. I was able to get to know them better than I ever had before and it was very moving to realize that I had been missing out on friendships with incredible people for such a long time.
This event was important because it brought random strangers together and created new friendships! It was a great event and made everyone laugh and have a great time!

Since my server is doing some malfunctioning with my stupid internet! I will share more Post Concert Experiences of fans from ONE OK ROCK Live in Manila… I feel completely amused because I am going to fuel more PCD!!!
Well, we can't really move on properly from this! So let us begin!
For this specific entry of the Fans on ONE OK ROCK: Post Concert Experience Series, I will share to you Guianne Verceles' answer in the thread I made at the Philippines ONE OK ROCKers' site! She was seated in Lower Box B!
This was my first concert ever. My heart was beating really fast and I can't help but smile while I was waiting in line. Since I didn't know any friend or co-fan that will attend the concert, I went there alone. This didn't stop me from going, since this may be a once in a lifetime event for me! xD I waited for One Ok Rock to visit the Philippines for how many years now, I won't waste an opportunity like this just because I'm alone ! xD Anyway, as I entered the arena, I felt amazed by the crowd! When the lights went out and when the members, Taka, Toru, Tomoya and Ryota, went out one by one, I really screamed and fangirled really hard! I can't believe that they're here, that I'm here, at the same place, breathing the same air. While they were performing "Take me to the top" and "Memories", I was literally crying. I've always thought that those fans who cries because of their favorite band are just overreacting. I even told myself that I won't be like that. But when I attended this awesome concert? I cried tears of joy! I was so happy that I wasn't able to contain it! This was the first time it happened to me, and it's because of One Ok Rock. I enjoyed the whole night. I jumped, cheered, fangirled , sang and screamed all at the same time. I just rocked out with the band I love. When Taka sang the song "Decision", the part where it says "we'll never be as young as we are now", made my heart jump. I felt more glad, and really thankful that I was able to attend this concert. That I was able to bought a ticket, that I was able to feel all those mixed emotions that night, because just like the lyrics said, we'll never really be as young as we are now right? We should live every moment to the fullest.
I treasured that moment and hoped that it would last much longer. But of course, I knew that this was gonna end sooner or later. And it did, much sooner than I expected. But! I am so glad that One Ok Rock liked how we sang, cheered and screamed during their performance. The wave of lights when Taka was singing "Heartache" and the way we all sang the Japanese lyrics of "Wherever you are" were all so unforgettable. But, I remembered the time when Taka wanted a wall of death, and it didn't happened. I stopped for a minute there, looking at him, thinking that he's probably disappointed. I actually didn't know about the WOD, until recently. But I can see and understand that Taka wants to separate the crowd at that time. Anyway, I just hope that it can be done next time. smile emoticon
Anyway, we all know that overall, they also enjoyed the night. After all, they promised to come back again right? XD And when they do, I promised myself to be at the VIP section, where I'll be able to see them much closer. And so, one of the best moments in my life ended. I left the hall contented. I only felt all the body pain after the concert. And I really had a hard time sleeping that night, since I can still hear their performance in my head xD I really can't wait for their return heart emoticon Thank you, One Ok Rock, for this unforgettable and awesome moment that you shared with us! heart emoticon
The love for ONE OK ROCK knows no bounds and for Guianne, I think she will have this experience locked up in her heart and cherish it always. I'll see you in Part 2 Guianne!!!

John Kennedy has some really good ideas
Sen. John Kennedy from Louisiana as a couple of great ideas that are gaining traction. First the big complaint about Dodd Frank is the onerous regulations placed upon all banks which have really prohibited smaller banks from being able to loan money. This hurts middle income and lower income wage earners in America. Because often they don't meet the strict criteria, being able to check off a box or put a number in the right place, that big impersonal banks have. Small local banks have more flexibility in loaning money; or at least they use to.
The stated purpose of the Dodd Frank was to rein in the big banks so Sen. Kennedy has proposed a solution, since it seems that there isn't the political will to completely repeal the law. All you have to do is exempt the medium and small sized banks from the regulations put in place by the Bell. His proposal is that if you have less than $10 billion in capitalization you do not have to comply with Dodd Frank. Doesn't that seem really simple and straightforward? Which probably means it doesn't have much of a shot.
Secondly, he has offered a new bill that would require you to go to work if you are receiving Medicaid. Simply, if you are between the ages of 18 and 55, are not disabled; do not have kids; then you must go to work in order to continue to receive Medicaid benefits. The bill he has authored would require you to get a part-time job of at least 20 hours a week, in the alternative you can do 20 hours of community service, or you could enroll in a college degree program for the equivalent of 20 hours a week.
These are the kind of simple straightforward solutions that people will oppose, the media and the political elite will say it's not that simple but it is. If our politicians really want to help the middle class they would give the smaller banks the exemption they need to begin loaning money again. This would stimulate the economy through increased housing purchases or construction; loans to people who want to start a small business; and so much more. And requiring Medicaid beneficiaries to work will be called and bigoted but the rest of us have to work to get what we need or want so why shouldn't someone receiving benefits from the government, which is our tax money after work also?
Enjoy this article?

Study links asthma to post-traumatic stress disorderNovember 21st, 2007 - 12:37 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Nov 21 (ANI): Researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, have, for the first time, linked asthma with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among adults.
The participants in the study were all male twins and veterans of Vietnam and the results show that the link cannot be explained by genetics.
There were 3,065 pairs of twins all of whom had lived together while growing up and both of whom had been on active duty during the Vietnam War. The results showed that those who suffered from the most symptoms of PTSD had a 2.3 times higher chance to have asthma as those who had fewer symptoms.
The twins were both identical - twins that have all the same genetic material- and fraternal - twins that have just half the same. If the connection was genetic, then the results between the two types of twins would have been very different, but there was no marked difference from one group or the other. The association was there even when they adjusted for variables such as smoking, obesity and socioeconomic status, which are all associated with both conditions.
"If there had been a strong genetic component to the link between asthma and PTSD, the results between these two types of twins would have been different, but we didn't find substantial differences between the two," said lead researcher Renee D. Goodwin, PhD, assistant professor of Epidemiology at the Mailman School of Public Health.
Several other studies have found a relationship between asthma and other anxiety disorders, Dr. Goodwin noted, yet this study is the first to investigate the link between asthma and PTSD. This new research also confirmed previous findings that linked asthma with a higher risk of depression.
"The reason (s) for the association between asthma and mental disorders is not known. Asthma could increase the risk of anxiety disorders, or anxiety disorders might cause asthma, or there could be common risk factors for both asthma and anxiety disorders. Our study found the association between asthma and PTSD does not appear to be primarily due to a common genetic predisposition, she said.
The researchers found the association between asthma and PTSD existed even after they took into account factors such as cigarette smoking, obesity and socioeconomic status, all of which are associated with both anxiety disorders and asthma.
"It is conceivable that traumatic stress, which has been associated with compromised immune functioning, leads to increased vulnerability to immune-system-related diseases, including asthma, Dr. Goodwin said.
Alternatively, it may be that having asthma places adults at increased risk for PTSD as it increases thelikelihood that they will be exposed to a traumatic situation because they have a life-threatening chronic medical condition, she added.
The findings suggest that a person with asthma who experiences a traumatic event may benefit from seeking professional help, because they could be more vulnerable to developing post-traumatic stress disorder, she said.
The research is published in the first issue for November 2007 of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, published by the American Thoracic Society. (ANI)

You are about to embark on the experience of a lifetime ! You've told all your friends, you've got your passport in hand and you realize that there is one tiny missing piece that will make this dream become a reality. $$
The thought of raising a few thousand dollars is a daunting one, especially if you have debts to pay. All our images of those who ask for a handout are not positive ones. We immediately think of the guy sleeping on the grate on Queen street in Toronto with his roughly scrawled "help me" on his cardboard sign. You may ask yourself how is asking for money for missions any different? Aren't we just slick, dressed up beggars? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Your attitude is everything! Try to approach fundraising this way:
1. When you ask people to help you serve overseas you are giving them an opportunity of a lifetime to invest in someone they love.
2. It's a PRIVILEGE for people to give to you because they are filling their treasure box in heaven.
3. You have a plan to do something powerful with your life and by doing so you are inspiring people to think beyond themselves.
4. All investment in God's kindgom reaps rewards larger than ANY other use of money.
5. People want to give to you. Raise friends – you will have the funds.
6. You signed up to follow Jesus and for your life that means you live by faith. Faith is the evidence of things UNSEEN. A pay check requires little to no faith.
8. God is for you! His goodness, mercy and love are chasing you all the days of your life.
9. Sales pitches are for used car salesmen. You are serving broken and hurting people.
10. Jesus said "GO" – He will take care of you.

Nowadays there are a lot of young referees in practice of sport officiating who come to officiating without basic knowledge of the game and sport. The system of referee's preparation in basketball, especially young referees, is developed not so dynamically, systematically as basketball itself.
Today's education and selection of young referees in basketball occurs during tournaments, referee's clinics and camps where the different levels of the preparedness of beginning referees from different regions are obvious. From this we can make conclusion about developing united program of referees' preparation which would include education of both parts: beginning and experienced referees from all regional federations. The program would contribute to involving experienced referees into professional realization as teachers of young referees.
Introduction of the united program of referees' preparation contains also social task and increases interest to referees' activities and job. Even if not every one of them will become top referee, nevertheless it will increase overall interest to the basketball in the whole country.

Hey! Firstly, welcome to my world of full time fashion blogging under the name of The Pixie Cut. My real name is Laura though, and I am 23 years old and have been blogging since December 2013.
I began my blogging journey with an Instagram page created through my old retail job (@topshopoxford, produced in May 2013). I operated the page for my store for three months before I had to remove it due to new company regulations. I soon realised that I loved making outfits on the floor and enjoyed mixing and matching clothes that I wouldn't normally wear myself. I have always loved photography, but combining fashion with taking photographs was personally inspiring and I knew it was the beginning of something new and exciting! After being instructed to remove the Instagram page, I decided, that instead of closing the account with all of the hard work I had put into it, I would make it my own. I changed the name to The Pixie Cut and shortly after created my blog. My love for this line of work eventually led me to quit my retail job in May 2014 taking fashion blogging on as a full time job, and I haven't looked back since!
Since starting the blog I have won the Company Magazine blog award for 'Best Fashion Blog - Newcomer 2014' and Cosmopolitan Magazine blog award for 'Best New Fashion blog 2014.'
Collaborating with companies is challenging but extremely rewarding. It has made my creativity grow and shown me that there is more to fashion than just the high street. Both my dream and ultimately my goal is to continue my career in full time fashion blogging and to make the move onto YouTube!
If you would like to ask me any questions or would be interested in collaborating please feel free to contact me on: email@example.com

Rocking the mic steady at 200+ shows a year, awesome reggae/rock band Ballyhoo! is no stranger to life on the road. With a sound distinctly their own, members Howi Spangler (lead vocals), Donald Spangler (drums), JR Gregory (bass), and Scott Vandrey (turntables & keys), bring their party lifestyle to their fans. The guys already have a number of notable tours under their belts – 311 Carribean Cruise, Bamboozle and the entire 2012 Vans Warped Tour to name a few.
Ballyhoo! is set to start their 2013 Summer Sickness Tour with Authority Zero which includes a stop at Lee's Palace in Toronto on June 23rd.
As a preview to the show, I had a chance to share some words with lead singer, Howi Spangler. Check out the interview below where he talks about their latest music video, upcoming 5th album Pinapple Grenade and the band's 'dirty' secret.
For all Ballyhoo! tour dates – visit ballyhoorocks.com
So Ballyhoo!… Isn't that the name of a fish?
Yup, it's a bait fish. A friend took us fishing in the Charleston Sound a few years back and we used ballyhoo to catch sharks and shit. We let them go, of course. The word also means 'loud noise, blatant advertising'.
I understand you guys have been touring quite a bit in the last few years – Vans Warped Tour, 311 Caribbean Cruise, Bamboozle + more. How do you keep up?
Something like 200 shows/year and that doesn't include drive days. It's very exhausting but all the work it takes to make it to the show is justified once we're on stage. Makes it all worth it. Especially when doing shows with our favorite bands like 311.
You excited to come back to the big smoke (Toronto)? What's your favourite part about our city? We Canadians like our music ya know.
Toronto has to be the cleanest city I've ever seen. We played at The Kathedral back in 2004 or something and we were putting flyers up and down Queen St. On the way back to the hotel, they were ALL gone. Street sweeper was going all day that day. Tried to sneak our way into Much Music too…they didn't let us in. We did Warped Tour there last summer and it rained so hard, hoping for a nice dry show this time.
I love your sound. I was telling my friend you sound like "a happy party skipping on the beach with Jamaican rum shots". How would you describe it?
That's pretty good actually…but yeah, I usually call it Punk Rock Reggae Sex Music.
Where'd you get the idea for your song/music video 'Walk Away'? Went to an awkward wedding?
I've had a negative view of marriage since I was a kid. My parents got divorced and they really made it ugly. Then my friends started getting married after high school, most of them divorced now. I've seen people get engaged on our stage and a year later they're not together. And I thought to myself, if someone isn't right for you, you probably shouldn't marry them. Save yourselves the trouble (and money) and get out of there before you make a mistake.
What can we expect from your 5th album coming out this summer? How does it differ from Daydreams?
We got to play with tones more on Pineapple Grenade. The songs took on a different feel after that. This has a more chilled out vibe than Daydreams , but the songs all rock in their own way. I think our fans will love the direction.
How stoked are you for the Summer Sickness Tour with Authority Zero? Your schedule looks busy! Overnights on the bus?
Lots and lots of shows! Overnights in the VAN is more like it. That tour is going to be a rocker. I can't wait. It'll be the most hi-energy tour we've ever done, I'm sure. I've met Jason from AZ a few times and he's always a nice dude. Gonna be great to rock the country together.
Any idea what lies ahead in the second half of the year?
Nothing yet, but I'm sure there will be a lot more touring. That's just what we do, ya know? Gotta take it to the people. And hopefully we'll be celebrating some great record sales!
What's the 'ultimate' secret you have never told your fans about Ballyhoo!…?
Ballyhoo used to mean "penis fish"…I'm not kidding. We looked up the name again last year and apparently an old tribe used to use 'penis fish' to catch bigger fish. Please don't tell anyone…it would ruin our reputation as classy fellows.

The filming of "Transformers 3" may transform the way you get around the downtown area this weekend.
The second sequel in the popular action series--starring Shia LaBeouf and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley--will be shooting in Chicago from Saturday through Aug. 23. The city estimates it will boost the local economy by some $20 million and create more than 200 jobs.
This weekend the movie's production crew will be working at several downtown locations, primarily in the LaSalle Street financial district. In addition, an aerial photography unit will be flying in the vicinity of the Willis Tower, East Randolph Street and the Daley Bicentennial Plaza.

Sometime ago, we talked about this model of four stages of development here.
This winter holiday, we made a break through on two fronts.
First one on the model above. We made a small change. Challenge -> Aware -> Regulate -> Sustain - this acronyms to CARS - guess what, that are DS's favorite topic. Now he has adopted this model really well. Several times, he has pointed to one of his problem areas and have said, I'm "challenged" here, how do I become aware of it? And on bad dreams over night impacting his motivation next day - he asked us, I'm aware that this happening, how do I regulate it? How do I sustain it? He has used this model on several occasions to ask us questions on how he could handle a situation. We are so glad !!!
The other one we introduced this is the "base memory". The principle is, DS has certain associations he has made due to certain circumstances. For example, he'd not like a blue dress of his mom, since she had scolded him wearing blue dress when he was a kid - such emotions are deep rooted in him. When we introduced the base-memory to him, he now is exploring the reason for certain base memories (that plays right into "Challenge" of CARS). We've revisited some of his base memories and created better experiences for him; and that we (including him) call replacing base memory!
So CARS and Base-memory anagrams to CARBS :-) But this seems to be good CARBS.

Are you a new Mom? Know a new Mom? Then check out these helpful tips!
We have all heard the saying "kids don't come with instructions", and that couldn't be more true. Being a new Mom is a time of pure joy, happiness, and let's be honest…intimidation and apprehension. It is something remarkable to be a new Mom and we at Once Upon A Child want to help make it as special and seamless as possible with these 6 tips for new Moms!
No Need to Tiptoe
When baby is in the womb, it is loud. We carry on with our daily lives full of the noise and hustle of everyday life, but we feel the need to walk on eggshells when our new little one is sleeping. This is not necessary (all the time). Babies will sleep through the noise, and get accustomed to it more and more, giving you time to get things done around the house or relax with the TV on.
Be Prepared
Babies will start to develop a schedule around 3-4 weeks. This predictability gives you a chance to focus on yourself as well as your child. After meals for you and baby, start preparing for the next meal when you have everything out. This makes each feeding more available and easy. You can take advantage of the time between feedings to nap or get some other work done.
Give Time for Dad
Make sure baby is well rested and fed, and give Dad and baby time to bond. The different touch and sound of his voice will kick start this process, and get the baby used to being with someone else. Fight the urge to help Dad when the baby is upset. This is a good way for the baby to seek other comfort, and your partner to help the baby. Be sure to stay out of sight, and use the time to catch up on yourself. This will be important when it comes time for a sitter or day care.
Keep the Crip Comfortable
It's easy to want to cuddle with our new baby all the time, but making sure they are comfy in their crib is important. Warming blankets in a dryer before sleep time is a great way to give baby that body warmth while in the crib. You can also warm them using a heating pad. Your child will sleep soundly with this little tip to simulate your warmth.
Warm Up Bath Time!
After around week 3 the umbilical cord stump will fall off. This is when you can finally give your child a real bath. Putting a warm washcloth over their belly will make a difference in these first experiences with bath time. Also, turning the heat up beforehand helps to reduce a cold shock when you take baby out of the bath. These simple tips can make all the difference for future baths and a happy tub time.
Layer Baby's Crib
Accidents are inevitable for babies in their crib, and you and your partner won't always have the time (or the energy) to change sheets and clean everything to get your baby back to sleep. Keep layers of sheets in the crib so you can easily remove the messy ones and get your child back to sleep (think: two layers of mattress pads and sheets, so you have a clean set already underneath the messy set).
We hope that your new bundle of joy fills you with happy days, and that these tips help make every second together all that it can be! Don't forget to stop by your local Once Upon A Child store for all of your baby clothes, toys, and accessory needs. All of our items are new or gently used, and will help you save time and money with your new miracle. (P.S. We also buy your gently used baby items, so bring in your extra or outgrown items, today!)Read More Stories

I read an interesting POST today on a blog I follow. It asks whether characters are truly autonomous or are shaped by the worldview of the writer. Are writers who have "foul-mouthed, bigoted, homophobic, murderous, frivolous, or down-right psychopathic" characters like that themselves? (Quote from Stephen King).
I've been mulling around on this all day. Here's what I think...
The other day I realized I hadn't been honest about one of my characters. He's hardened and angry because he has genuinely crappy parents and has grown up on the street. I had written my whole story without him uttering a single curse word. That's not Garreth. Garreth would curse and with flourish. I had over-tamed him. So I went back and allowed him to call his parents what he feels they are: "He openly declared his parents to be lousy, drunken
I really don't curse and this particular word is pretty impotent. If you met people who knew me they would never define me as foul-mouthed. (As confession, I have had those moments, but they have been few and far between. Unfriend me if you must.) Garreth, on the other hand, curses. It's part of his makeup and he's made up of characters and people I've read, seen, heard, known.
Because I'm writing a novel for younger kids, I'm sensitive to not allowing Garreth to go all out sailor on them. But, I recognized I was hiding too much of who he is in an effort to protect them. It's obviously not a trait to admire and the other characters don't admire him for it. Yet, he's not a complete thug. I once heard someone say he knew a man who was "rogue, but not blasphemous." That is Garreth. There are some wonderful qualities about him that should be admired; so, I say, don't dismiss him altogether. (A lesson to be learned by all straight-laced people. That foul-mouthed fellow just might be the best friend you could ever have. But, I digress...)
So, I think the answer to the post's question is NO and NO. I don't have to allow Garreth complete autonomy because I can, and should, reel him in a bit. On the other hand, just because I allow Garreth to swear doesn't mean I want others to develop the habit.
Art reflects life. I believe that. If I were to write my story without a single broken, immoral, unjust, foul-mouthed, obstinate, person my story would be a snoozer! Stories are about conflict and conflict comes as a result of these types of people and situations. If someone wants a completely sterile piece with perfect people...well, I think they might have those in Stepford.
It's Who I Am
Whether as an author/illustrator at the age of five writing about a dashingly heroic cat and his cat damsel in distress or a good-natured, young raconteur describing the adventurous lives of unsuspecting patrons seated near me in restaurants, I've always made up stories. It only took me forty years to realize it is what I do best. So, welcome to Andoree, the country and creation of my imagination. Sit down and I'll spin you a tale or two.

Davison's fast start has players, fans hoping for first district title in 36 yearsBasketball  |
Davison - It was one of those basketball mismatches that can happen in conference play when a championship contender faces a team at the bottom of the standings.
A dozen years ago, Davison was a power in the Big Nine Conference, while Clio's program was at the opposite end of the spectrum.
There wasn't much to see on the court when the two teams hooked up on Feb. 7, 2003 for what would be a ho-hum 69-48 victory for Davison.
The most memorable part about that evening, however, took place behind the Davison bench. It's all that anybody who was there that night remembers from an otherwise forgettable game.
Dylan Alderson, the son of Davison assistant coach Shane Alderson, stole the show by dribbling two basketballs. The future star of the Davison program was already showcasing his ball-handling skills -- at the age of 4.
"We had a pretty big lead," said current Davison coach Robert Hatten, then a senior for the Cardinals. "People started talking about what Dylan was doing behind our bench instead of what was going on the court. I've known Dylan since then. It's cool to see what he's become now."
Since then, Alderson has grown into one of the top sophomores in Michigan, playing a major role in the turnaround of a Davison program that had fallen on hard times since its glory days in the early 2000s.
The 6-foot-4 point guard averaged 23 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals in Davison's first six games before leaving in the first half of Tuesday's victory at Flint Kearsley with a wrist injury that isn't expected to cost him any playing time.
With Alderson running the offense and 6-foot-9 senior Frank Vukaj dominating inside, the Cardinals are off to a 6-1 start, their best since the 2004-05 team started 7-1. The breakout victory for Davison was a 47-33 decision over Flint Carman-Ainsworth on Dec. 18. The Cardinals had lost 13 straight games against the Cavaliers and 21 of the last 22, the lone victory being a 63-58 win on Feb. 10, 2009.
"That was just getting the monkey off our back," Hatten said.
The Cardinals' play this season has folks in Davison recalling the school's great teams. Alderson grew up around Davison basketball, but is too young to remember when the Cardinals were one of the top teams in the competitive Flint area.
Beginning in 1999-2000, when the Cardinals went 20-0 before losing in the first round of the districts to Flint Northwestern and Kelvin Torbert, Davison won at least 15 games for six consecutive seasons. Hatten's two teams as a high school player combined to go 35-9.
Since then Davison has had winning records (both 13-10) in two of the last nine seasons.
Even while watching the Cardinals struggle at times during his youth, Alderson dreamed of wearing the maroon and gold.
"My dad used to be the coach," Alderson said. "I used to practice with the team, do drills with them when I was a little kid. I grew up watching them. I definitely wanted to be a part of it."
Alderson began playing organized basketball in second grade. Very early on, his father knew that his son would not only eventually become part of Davison's program, but a huge part.
"We knew right away that there was potentially something special going on there," said Shane Alderson, who was an assistant coach for 21 years and the head coach for four at Davison. "It didn't matter if it was basketball, football, baseball, a soccer ball, whatever; he did it all and he just wanted to play. Then when he started coming to the gym every day at practice and being around it, he sort of gravitated toward it."
Like many coaches' sons, Alderson is the consummate gym rat.
"He's been around basketball forever," Hatten said. "You can't keep him away from basketball. We try to tell him to take weekends off, and he gets mad. He has a genuine love for the game, which is why he works so hard at it."
Alderson already has scholarship offers from Central Michigan and Ferris State, but the list of college suitors is certain to include more marquee names as his career progresses. He has made unofficial visits to Michigan State.
His most dominant performance came on Dec. 27 when he scored 38 points in a 76-68 victory over Toledo Rogers. He scored at least 16 points in his first six games before leaving the Kearsley game early with an injury.
"I fell on my left wrist," he said. "It was a muscle strain; nothing broke. I was fine right when I did it. I continued playing. It started hurting. I threw a chest pass and it hurt; I knew I had to come out then."
With Alderson's playing time limited in that game, Vukaj took over the game and scored a season-high 25 points.
The two make a powerful inside-outside combination that is difficult to defend. Each player is quick to point out, however, that they are not part of a Dynamic Duo, but a Tenacious Ten. Davison's program is known for keeping only 10 players, but giving them all key minutes, often subbing players like hockey teams change lines.
"It's 10 guys," said Vukaj, who averages 17 points, 17 rebounds and seven blocks. "It starts, honestly, at practice. We bring the intensity at practice. We treat practice like they're championship games. It's a fun feeling. I love this team. It's such a home environment here. We're all so close."
Off to its best start in 10 years, the Cardinals hope to end some longer droughts this season. They haven't won a district championship since 1978 and haven't won a league title since '03.
"You think about all the guys that borrowed the jersey between '78 and now, all the great teams we've had," Hatten said. "You talk about running into teams like Kelvin Torbert that 2000 year. My senior year, we lost a thriller by three points to Carman-Ainsworth (in the district final) and they went on to the finals and lost to Rockford that year. It's always a tough draw."

Café Prost
Café Prost, a German pretzel truck based out of Wake Forest, made its first (I think) Durham appearance this past weekend.
The menu was really simple – salted, un-salted or cheese pretzels. Salted and un-salted are $2.50 or 2 for $4, cheddar $3.00 or 2 for $5. We ordered two salted.
Truth be told, I'm a sucker for German-style pretzels – I can't resist stopping at Guglhupf, I will go out of my way to go to Milltown in Carrboro for their pretzels (also from Guglhupf) and beer cheese and I even love the not-great soft pretzels and yellow mustard served at every sporting event. But Café Prost pretzels – still steaming, caramel brown, speckled with just enough sea salt, crisp on the outside and fluffy soft on the inside – just may have been the best I've ever had. Café Prost does offer classic yellow or spicy brown mustard for dipping, but really these pretzels don't need either.
Parked outside of Fullsteam, Café Prost pretzels would be excellent paired with Fullsteam's El Toro, Rocket Science, Southern Lager or well, pretty much anything else on tap. The guy manning the window assured us Café Prost would be making many more Durham appearances, but if you can't wait they are at the Wake Forest Farmer's Market every Saturday from 8am-12pm.

A DIY update: How to make home made dogfood, or as I call it: Slop.
Back in June last year I posted an article on how to make your own dogfood. See that post here.
It's been a while since I posted that and I've changed my method quite a bit to be cheaper, more efficient and just generally less hassle so I thought an update was in order!
A summary: I chose to feed my dog a high-quality and varied diet. I did some research and decided to make my own dog food and to only supplement with high quality kibble and other things likes eggs, treats and bones… and maybe the occasional bit of cheese. Theoretically this means my dog also eats less because I have increased the quality of his diet. I have no evidence of this however as I've never solely fed my dog kibble for any extended period of time.
If you are looking to save money on dogfood, this is not the post for you. Yes, homemade dog food will be cheaper than feeding only store bought and high-quality foods but it is definitely not cheaper than if you were to feed your dog with whatever the cheapest thing on sale is at your local supermarket. I am very happy with my dogs health, how he looks, how he feels and how little hair he sheds.
Since last May/June I have tweaked my method of dog food making simply by cutting corners because I'm lazy and was looking to waste less time while still making my own dog food. As I said in my last post, I started doing this with little forethought, it was just a random brain fart with the idea of saving money and feeding my dog a good and varied diet.
It takes me slightly longer to make this than if I were to go and buy dog food so time spent is now nearly negligible in calculating cost.
Changes I've made: I use less tools, spend less time making, use one pot and no longer freeze food or use tubs to freeze it in. One pot, one knife and cutting board. Done. Simple!
Ingredients of today's batch:
Roughly 3,5lbs of beef, diced.. $2,99 a lb beef sale is why.
several tbsp EVOO used to brown beef first 5 minutes
1 cup of pea/corn/carrot soup mix
500 g diced carrots
1 cup brown rice
1 cup rolled oats
2 bananas, diced
2 apples, cored and diced with peel
1 tsp garlic
Several cups of water
Tools used:
1 large pot
1 cup measuring cup
1 big spoon for stirring
1 cutting board
1 sharp paring knife
I sliced and diced the beef, added it to a pot with some EVOO and garlic and let it simmer while I continued to slice and dice on the same cutting board, with the same knife. (washed in between). I diced the carrots and added them to the pot when the beef was almost done, it will start releasing water on it's own so I don't add any water until I'm done adding the carrots, the carrots take the longest to cook and Copper won't eat them unless they are soft enough so I boil them the longest. (otherwise he eats around them and leaves them in his bowl).
I then add the soup veggies, and enough water to later be absorbed by the rice and oats and let everything simmer for roughly 30-45 minutes while I do dishes… or sweep, or whatever.
After simmering I add the rice and oats and slowly let it cook for another 10-15 while I'm productive
doing dishes reditting and imgurring.
When the timer goes I turn off the heat add in the fruit and stir thoroughly, today's fruits turned out to be bananas and apples because they were on sale.
The resulting pot full of stuff should be roughly the consistency of a rice casserole dish, if it's more like a stew then you've used too much water… but don't worry…. your dog will still eat it 😉
What else… Actually nope, that's all. Bam, done! I let it cool down a bit. Put a lid on the pot and put it in my fridge where I will spoon out of it for roughly five days in the morning and in the evening until the pot is empty. Then the process repeats after the next grocery day.
I supplement in between with the occasional boiled or blended egg, dog kibble on days I don't have a pot in the fridge and copious treats and bones… of course. It works for me, takes very little effort and I have a happy healthy dog. Good stuff.
A random life update.
Whew. I feel like I haven't written anything in ages.
Life's been busy. Life's actually been pretty good! In December I went on a road-trip to NYC with my sister and my cousin which was an absolute blast. I've been meaning to post pictures/travel blogs but I've just never gotten around to it. Early January that stuff with work happened. But it all turned out to be not such a bad thing and I'm quite happy and so much less stressed these days. (Although I am a little peeved about having less money but hey life's not all about money!)
Right now I'm finishing one course for my degree, am working mostly full-time and am working on training and getting used to living with my dog. Speaking of dog:
I think that's the third post in a row I've posted dogpics, minus the Carnival roundup. I'm absolutely not apologizing. Dogs are awesome ya'all! On top of all the epic-dog-awesomeness I just booked a trip to Rome in October! (returning of course from Amsterdam, I'll always love my birthplace) and I hope to get away for a week this summer. Besides that, just trying to keep up with my many to-do-lists, my little house, and yeah that bathroom of mine IS STILL NOT DONE. I'm still waiting for my dad to tile the floor… So, what's new with you?
