Link to: Details of Jerusalem Peace Memorial:
The references and comments show the development from the first idea for a Peace Memorial in the Berlin Memorial debate (1998) to its realization as the Jerusalem Peace Memorial in Bensheim (built from 2010 - 2015). The Peace Memorial calls for responsibility: That we may never cease in coexistence to strive bravely, for peace and freedom, based on justice, is something to be learned from a dark past.
Has been read as a greeting at the Peace Monument on September 27, 2015
Central Council of Jews in Germany
"This Peace Monument after 50 years of relations between Germany and Israel is the convincing representation of a successful idea. Chancellor Willy Brandt has it taken in the words: Peace is not everything, but without peace everything is nothing. Who surrounds the monument* in the landscape and follows the invitation: Think about it, will discover some enrichment and perspective for their own lives . This is a wish for every visitor."
Dear Mr. Zieringer,
Thank you very much for your letter and the sending of the reports on your project. I would like to congratulate you on your success that your initiative is now carried out.
I wish you continued success in your activity for the good cause and in your work.
With kind regards,
Otto von Habsburg
Without the contribution of the Jews neither our Central European culture nor the Christian Occident as a whole could have arisen. Especially we, the Christians, owe the Jews very much. The Old Testament, as an essential part of our Scriptures, is the foundation on which we stand. The Christian faith is rooted in the history of the people of Israel... (Otto von Habsburg in the organ of the German section of the Pan-European Union 1991, Article: Fundamentalist or faithful?)

The Jerusalem Peace Memorial in Bensheim, Hessen, Germany
Form and Content: Up close, nose to the gem stone, one reads into the veins. The quartz tells each of us a story. As you distance yourself, the shape of the slab becomes meaningful. Further back the group of rose-quartz volumes, standing on black gravel, under the sky, reveals its composition of angles and spaces. This is a part of the Jerusalem Peace Memorial. At the apex of the grassy mound is a six pointed star, the Star of David, symbol of the Jewish people. Its flat marble triangles creatively centered with a small round crystal. Energy from the materials. Energy from the forms. Energy from the numerical values. Energy from the landscape. And most importantly, energy from the heavens for our goodness in remembering a nation who is no longer in our neighborhoods. Thomas Zieringer is presently finishing his site with a mosaic glass seven striped rainbow. Only on the rarest days of semi fog or snow will the stripes seem to be the grey and blue of former times.
We appreciate Thomas's personal difficulties and joys in bringing this work into public reality.
Ellen Lapidus Stern, Jerusalem, August 20, 2013 ( http://www.artistlapidot.com )
Central Council of Jews in Germany
The President
Dear Mr. Zieringer, thank you for your letter and its attachments. Your plan I think is very remarkable, but unfortunately I have to tell you, that the Central Council of Jews in Germany does not deal with the construction of individual objects. (...)
I wish you all the best for your future and remain Sincerely yours
(Paul Spiegel, July 29th 2004)
Minister Bouffier thanks you very much for your letter of January 29, 2003. He also remembers with pleasure the encounter which took place in a small circle. He has read your remarks and suggestions with interest and encourages you to continue your project work in this way.
Dr. Roland Johne on behalf of Hessian Interior Minister Volker Bouffier

- Shipping and Payment
- Description
For sale is bass-guitar with classical sound, modern looks and Fender Custom Shop quality. The condition of the instrument is new! All Custom Shop documents are in the layout. The instrument is comfortable to play even for those who used to play 4-string basses. Neck is perfect. Distance between the strings is the same as on 4-string basses, but the profile is much narrower. All notes sound smooth at any range; sustain and attack are just great. One-piece ash body gives thick lows and good attack at slap. Rosewood fingerboard makes the sound smooth, and adds more warmness. It has a classical tone, careful and soft electronics. The 5th string sounds most perfectly among other Fenders; it is well-balanced. This is a professional instrument that will suit for studio as well as concert work. It sounds great in the mix, solos and slap. Who needs a professional 5-string bass, I highly recommend this instrument. I had some doubts as to sell it or not, but my music is based on 4-string basses right now. The bass comes with the original case; it is in a new condition, well-tuned and ready to make you happy! fender_custom_shop_classic_jb_5:

There's been an exciting craze of spirituality sweeping the planet as we've turned the corner into the new millennium. During this same time period, people have been reacting more and more negatively to the fanatics and the many foibles of organized religion. So we've taken our business across town—to workshops and meditation retreats, coffee shops and the latest spiritual teacher's bestseller. In doing so, we have thrown out the baby with the bath water.
The Guide tells us that what's behind all this activity is Christ consciousness, so it seems then that Jesus would be on board. It turns out that, more than that, he's had a big hand in what's been happening all along. He helped make it happen. But we've lost our way in having appreciation for his part in this story.
It is my hope that with this retelling you'll feel edified, inspired and even more grateful—both for Jesus and what he has done and continues to do for us, and for the Guide, who has offered a version of this whole story that makes so much sense.
—Jill Loree

I went back to Dallas Saturday, and Erroll and Kendra brought the trailer over with the car. The trailer is a little bent up from the wreck. I found a good-sized dent in the front crossmember under the radiator of the Fiat but that was it, other than the rear bumper which had both torn partially loose from the bumper mount, and yanked out the rear bumper shocks.
We unchained everything and Collin climbed in, and it started instantly. He backed it off the trailer and we put it in Mom's garage and had a look. The AFM was gummy from aphids, of all things, but I cleaned it as best I could then squirted some DeOxit into it and that seemed to fix it. I found the cover in the trunk, which helped. Erroll vacuumed up all the broken glass that is everywhere from the other car. We started the car and let it idle, and it did ok, just running a little hot, and the muffler joints seem to be broken again so it's fairly noisy.
Next day we went to Pep Boys to get a few small parts, RTV sealant and such, and to my utter astonishment they had a new upper radiator hose for a Brava. This fixed the rigged hose with a kink that had been causing us some trouble with cooling. We fixed a few other little things then I took it for a spin down the street and back. The clutch is in pretty bad shape, so that's going to have to be fixed. The brakes are still really bad but work OK if stomped. I, however, know what they're like when hot, so something has to be done there.
Thanksgiving weekend is a big push, then after that we'll take it for cage work and to have the exhaust fixed.

Angel Payne dips her toe into the world of Super Heroes and the results are electric. Reece Richards's a wealthy, self-indulgent hotelier playboy. However in what could be considered a bit of Karmic Justice he becomes an unlikely Super Hero. His existence isn't all it's cracked up to be and his social life's definitely not what it once was. Emmalina Crist works in the hotel Reece heads up for his family. Emma was born into a wealthy family. She decided country club life and the one her parents planned wasn't for her. Emma chose, to her parents chagrin, to become a "career girl". Emmalina isn't the strongest Heroine when the book begins, however at the end she's "kick-butt-and-take-names" tough. The secondary characters don't carry much of an impact however they do provide spot-on comic relief at the perfect times. The story is definitely fun and filled with lightning hot sex.
Reece is a carefree playboy when he runs into the very French and exotic Angelique. He follows her around Europe keeping up with the next hot thing or party. Except one night Angelique takes him to a different type of party involving big thugs and lab coats. Over a year later and Reece finds himself in California in charge of one of his family's hotels. His late night employees believe him to be weird and they don't know the half of it.
Emmalina Crist's a new employee on a Richards Resort Hotel night shift. She's used to the finer things in life, however she's making a go of living her life on her own. One night she and her co-workers catch Breaking News of a convenience store robbery. What she sees is unbelievable. A leather-clad man levitating people, shooting electricity out of his hands as he battles the robbers. They're still reeling when their boss and infamous playboy heir Reece Richards descends in order to collect the nightly report. Emma finds Reece captivating in the brief time she was in his presence. Even though her co-workers consider him to be really strange she finds him intriguing. Against her better judgment she wants a closer look. The report wasn't ready when Reece arrived. As soon as the last page finishes printing Emma's snatching it off of the machine and she's in the elevator.
Reece is in his penthouse praying that the employees won't be bringing the report up anytime soon. He isn't ready for company. His body is still affected by everything he did to bring down the robbers. Reece doesn't believe his employees will understand fingers glowing like lightsabers and glowing electric-like blood pulsing through his veins. He does note seeing the extremely attractive new girl and hopes like Hell she's not bringing him the report tonight. Unfortunately Reece's luck isn't as good as when he's fighting crime and Emma arrives in his elevator.
The attraction and chemistry between Reece and Emma is undeniable. The pull between them is something they can't resist. Reece hasn't been with a woman since his "change" and isn't sure what his glowing bodily fluids will do. He discovers what it does is remarkable. When Emma pleasures Reece his release courses through her body and triggers dozens of orgasms in her. Things are tricky with Reece needing to hide obvious signs of his Super Hero-ness; glowing appendages for example. He wants to continue figuring things out, sexually, with Emma. So he sets out to do just that.
Emma believes this is a one-time deal. It's bad to have sex with a fellow employee it's a disaster to have sex with your boss. However Reece believes differently and what he does to her body is impossible to refuse. Therefore Emma and Reece begin a secret romance. Unfortunately Reece's expending his power and energy on Emma rather than criminals negatively effects the hotel. Then Angelique shows up out of the blue and plays headgames with Emma causing her doubt herself and Reece. When Emma and Reece break-up criminals are more likely to fry. The break-up doesn't last long. But Reece's confidence in his ability to protect Emma, as a Super Hero's girlfriend is badly shaken. A particularly nasty battle and a run-in with the group who's responsible for his abilities has him on edge. Reece backs away from Emma for her own good until he can figure things out.
"Misadventures With a Super Hero" get off to a shaky start the number of unanswered questions is maddening. Not to mention Emma isn't a robust and fully fleshed out Heroine at the book's beginning. As far as Reese goes he's very well-developed and is cheeky, charming, and a sexual dynamo. The end of the book feels a bit of a rush to conclusion which isn't all that conclusive. However that open-endedness kind of works. Yet the meat of the book is complex; it's compelling with conflict that's against a "bad guy" as well emotional. This is an Angel Payne book so it goes without saying this verges on Erotica at times. In "Misadventures With a Super Hero" Angel Payne is a seductress with her words and descriptive sex scenes. She is the High Priestess of Sex.
I'm giving "Misadventures With a Super Hero" 4 Lightning Bolts and a Storm Warning.

LOS ANGELES — One of the most highly anticipated online forums on the issue of women in the porn industry — Sssh.com's "Women in Porn: Shattering the Myths," broadcast on Mindbrowse.com on July 22, came to a close with more than 600 people viewing the event.
The lively debate — moderated by sociologist Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals — took on some ever-sensitive anti-porn topics and industry concerns with luminaries including Penthouse managing director Kelly Holland, adult performer/director Ashley Fires, MakeLoveNotPorn.com co-founder Cindy Gallop and attorney and author Frederick Lane.
XBIZ caught up with Sssh.com founder and broadcast organizer Angie Rowntree who weighed in on the aftermath of the event, giving insight as to the genesis of the idea, its success, and plans for the future.
XBIZ: What sparked the idea for the "Women in Porn" broadcast discussion?
Angie Rowntree: For this broadcast, our goal was to provide a venue for anti-porn activists to engage in live debate with women in the adult industry. When critics of porn take aim at the adult industry, one of their main arguments is that the industry is inherently misogynistic, and that the women who work and perform in the industry are basically broken people, who have been manipulated into working here. Among other things, this event was an opportunity for several prominent women from the industry to rebut those kinds of assertions, head-on.
XBIZ: How long was it in the making?
Rowntree: A few years ago, we ran a similar video series called "DirtyOldMen.tv" in which each episode featured an interview with people in the adult industry. Although these were not live broadcasts, over the course of that project we developed the resources and technology to go to the next level and produce live events with multiple speakers in a moderated setting.
The bulk of the time in setting up the "Women In Porn" broadcast was spent trying to recruit a speaker from the "anti-porn" sector who would be willing to be part of the debate. This took months, literally, and ultimately failed; we couldn't find anyone willing and available to fill that position in the discussion. At the eleventh hour, we did come up with a novel solution (more on that later).
XBIZ: How did the discussion differ from other feminist porn conferences?
Rowntree: The most obvious difference is because the show was Internet-based, it gave us a much larger reach (geographically speaking) and it also allowed us to engage both the general public and people within the industry.
XBIZ: How did you secure the panelists and moderator?
Rowntree: Our goal for this was to include a female adult industry executive, a female performer, a woman who was "thinking outside the box" as far as producing adult content that is not in the traditional "porn" paradigm, and a vocal anti-porn feminist to present the opposing views about pornography. Within a month or so, we had three of four set up: Kelly Holland, Ashley Fires, and Cindy Gallop. But, right up to four days prior to the broadcast, we still had no anti-porn activist, after having contacted more than 20 vocal and public anti-pornography activists, academics, and organizations, individually inviting them or their affiliates to participate in the event.
Finally, we heard that longtime adult industry coverage author and lecturer Fred Lane might be an ideal person to fill the void, as he is in constant contact with anti-porn activists and could at least present their point of view by proxy. Lane serves on the advisory boards of Enough.org and S.E.S.A.M.E. ("Stop Educator Sexual Abuse Misconduct & Exploitation") and is a founding member of The Ethics Consortium. He is the author of several books on the interaction between culture and technology, including "The Decency Wars: The Campaign to Cleanse American Culture," and has lectured across the U.S. on the pornography industry and the culture wars.
XBIZ: Why were there no men originally asked to be on the panel?
Rowntree: The original concept was to have the panel be all women in order to present women's points of view and experiences. At the end of the day, Fred Lane wound up representing the anti-porn point of view, but the original concept was for it to be an event in which women talked about the role of women in porn; intuitively, with a topic like Women in Porn, it just made sense that the panel be comprised of women.
XBIZ: Was the turnout what you expected?
Rowntree: Although it's a little hard to come up with an exact number as no sign-in or registration was needed to view the broadcast, we're making a conservative estimate that more than 600 people were watching based on our stats. Since the panel will now go on to YouTube, Vimeo and other archived video sites, the number of people that will ultimately view the show will be substantially larger.
XBIZ: What topic spurred the most interest, controversy?
Rowntree: Residual pay for performers via a Hollywood-type royalties system really lit up the conversation. One of the perennial topics that comes up among performers in adult is the lack of any residuals or royalty payments like mainstream actors in SAG, etc. that's been afforded for many decades. This concept instantly shed light on the long-term conflict between producers and performers, both of whom have legitimate economic viewpoints on the issue.
XBIZ: Was the audience primarily women?
Rowntree: Again, it's hard to tell what the gender breakdown was as no registration was needed, but gauging by the viewers that were also on the twitter feed, "#WomenInPorn," the majority of viewers were women.
XBIZ: Do you think you've accomplished your goals and clarified some issues?
Rowntree: We are very pleased with how much information was presented and debated and have had such a positive viewer response that a part two of "Women In Porn" is already in the works. In truth, one discussion or debate can never really settle a question about a topic this controversial; what you hope to do is get the discussion going, and to keep it going.
XBIZ: Are there plans for a future broadcasts?
Rowntree: Yes. We have several more cued up for the coming months including: "An intimate conversation with Nina Hartley and Ernest Green;" "Feminism and Porn: Can They Coexist?" and "Women In Porn — Shattering the Myths, Part 2."
XBIZ: Will men be included in future events?
Rowntree: Depending on the topic, of course. Our next show will feature Ernest Greene. Ernest has participated in the production of adult video for three decades as a performer, writer, director and producer. His body of work comprises more than 500 titles and he has just released his new book, "Master Of O," the classic tale revisited through the eyes of the Master.

The National Small Business Association is warning that some of the tax proposals in President Obama's business tax reform framework could hurt small businesses.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner unveiled the Obama administration's business tax proposals on Wednesday, which include lowering the top corporate income tax rate from 35 to 28 percent, and eliminating dozens of tax loopholes and subsidies (see Obama Proposes Business Tax Reforms). The administration is also advocating making the Research & Experimentation Tax Credit permanent, doubling the deduction for business startup costs, and increasing the Section 179 expensing level to $1 million.
However, the group pointed out that the administration's proposal fails to ensure parity between small and large business. Small businesses could soon be facing tax rates of up to 40 percent or more, the group warned.
"Although the proposal does include some positive language for small-business tax credits, NSBA believes firmly that the only way to ensure fairness, transparency and eased complexity of the U.S. tax code is broad reform," said NSBA president Todd McCracken in a statement. "And that must also include individual income taxes."
The group noted that the proposal would not lower the tax rates of the 83 percent of small businesses that pay taxes on the owner's personal income tax level. The NSBA also criticized the administration's proposal to eliminate "last in first out" accounting and changing depreciation schedules that would scale back capital cost recovery. Other proposed changes could have a substantial negative effect on small business, according to the group, although it admitted that the proposals are unclear.
On a positive note, the NSBA acknowledged that Obama administration's proposed tax reform framework does include provisions that would help small business: expanding and make permanent the R&E tax credit; increasing Section 179 expensing to $1 million; doubling the deduction for start-up costs from $5,000 to $10,000; and allowing cash accounting on businesses with up to $10 million in gross receipts. The proposal also mentions expanding and simplifying the health insurance tax credit, but provides few details.
"This plan appears to be driven by the bipartisan consensus that a greatly simplified tax system can unleash greater economic growth," said NSBA chair Chris Holman, CEO of Michigan Business Network.com and President of The Greater Lansing Business Monthly. "Unfortunately, without broad tax reform, such as the Fair Tax, this proposal falls short of that."
Another small business advocacy group, the National Federation of Independent Business, also disagreed with some of the administration's business tax reform proposals.
"Once again, President Obama has demonstrated that he knows big business, not small," said NFIB CEO Dan Danner in a statement. "For the last several years, small-business owners have been trying to convey to Washington, D.C., that the uncertainty of its policies makes it incredibly difficult to run a business and plan for the future and today's announcement of corporate tax reform shows that Washington still does not understand. Reforming the corporate tax code does not help the majority of small businesses; in fact, it creates even more uncertainty by taking away the deductions that many small-business owners count on each year. Furthermore, as complicated as the tax code is, this plan from the administration will make it even more complicated for a small-business owner. At what point does big business stop dictating the policies in Washington, D.C.? The focus should be on individual rate reform, keeping the tax rates for small business low, and allowing small businesses to actually grow and create jobs, as opposed to being a piggy bank for the IRS."

Chris Brown Club Shooting: Karrueche Tran Convinces Him To Cancel Shows
Karrueche is being very protective of Chris after he was in the middle of a terrifying shooting while performing in a San Jose nightclub on Jan. 11. Karrueche is going to drastic measures to keep Breezy safe by having him cancel shows, an insider tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
Karrueche Tran, 26, is going into over-drive mode to keep Chris Brown, 25, from performing at dangerous venues. Karrueche has reportedly convinced Chris to cancel certain club appearances for his safety, HollywoodLife.com has learned EXCLUSIVELY. Here's what we know.
Chris Brown Canceling Club Appearances: Karrueche Tran Convinced Him
After Chris was caught in the middle of a San Jose club shooting which injured five people, Karrueche is convincing Chris to watch out for his safety.
"Karrueche told him that she was getting a million dollar life insurance policy on him," a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "She was absolutely serious too. She wasn't playing and she had been researching it online and filling out the enrollment forms right in front of him.
Wow! It seems like Karrueche is really going in on it all to keep her man safe. She even helped Chris realize that he needed to take more precaution with his safety — and she really got to his head.
"In that very moment, he woke up. He realized that Karrueche was real serious about his safety much more than he was. In that moment he knew that his life could be gone in the blink of an eye and that's when he decided to take action," our source continues. "He realizes that he can't control what other people do but he can
control the situations and environments that he's in."
"He's hoping that his fans understand that his decision is bigger than music. We're
talking life and death here and he thinks he made the right decision by not performing in certain venues," our source says.
Chris Brown Can't Live Without Karrueche Tran
For Chris to really listen to Karrueche and take her advice is a huge step for them as a couple, especially because he doesn't want to put Kae "on the back burner."
"He doesn't want to put Karrueche on the back burner anymore and he realizes that his world could potentially be extremely dark and gloomy without her in it," a source close to the couple told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
"His goal is to be a completely different man this year," our source said. "He wants to be successful in his career and his relationship and give equal time to both of them. He feels they go hand in hand."
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do you agree with Karrueche that Chris should cancel certain club appearances for his safety? Let us know!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Another proper Charlie of a movie from Tim Burton to follow the lamentable, wet 'Big Fish'? Thankfully, no. Burton is on much safer ground here with a charming children's film that embraces imaginative production design and a wonderful creepy performance from Johnny Depp as the reclusive confectioner, Willy Wonka. It's fitting that Burton, who rejects CGI in favour of real sets, should be at the helm of a story that was conceived by Roald Dahl in 1964 partly to lament the onset of modernity. The film's opening sequence, which depicts hundreds of industrious Oompa Loompas (all played by a 4' 4" Deep Roy) appears at first to be a rhythmic, colourful celebration of mass production, but we soon learn that Mr Bucket (Noah Taylor), the father of our young hero, Charlie (Freddie Highmore) is lingering in unemployment, having been replaced by a machine at the local toothpaste factory. We discover too that Grandpa Joe (David Kelly) was earlier the victim of a mass lay-off, this time at Wonka's fabulous chocolate plant itself, which looms over the Bucket's ramshackle house like a dark Gothic castle. Tradition is the order of the day. Like Dahl's book, the film stresses the importance of family over personal ambition, love over selfish desire. The plot, too, remains largely as Dahl left it: five golden tickets hidden in chocolate bars allow four brats and a saintly Charlie to visit Wonka's secret factory, but all the kids bar Charlie are soon ejected in tragi-comic fashion. Burton's one major concession to the twenty-first century is an unnecessary sub-plot that explores Wonka's estrangement from his father, the dentist Dr Wonka (Christopher Lee). And Charlie – surprise, surprise – provides the bridge to reconciliation. It's soppy stuff, and recalls the grating father-son element of 'Big Fish'.The kaleidoscopic sets apart, Depp is the film's pièce de resistance. He carves a character defined by angular physical presence and alien diction. His Wonka is a strange hybrid: the costume of Michael Jackson; the lingo of Austin Powers; the hairstyle of Olivier's Richard III; the top hat of a undertaker… It's a sweet cocktail.

I've been taking a short sabbatical following the completion of my Mad Scientist Training Academy at the Minnesota Fringe Festival, but have no fear, Dr. Volt, certified mad scientist, has returned to continue to take your questions.
Today's question comes from Lily who asks, "How many carbon atoms there are in glycerol and pyruvate?"
Well Lily, this is actually a very simple question indeed. All we need to do is look up the molecular formula of each chemical to determine the number of carbon atoms per molecule. Glycerol's molecular formula is C3H5(OH)3, which gives it three carbon atoms per molecule. Pyruvate is an ionic form of pyruvic acid. Pyruvic acid has a molecular formula of CH3COCOOH, while pyruvate's molecular formula is CH3COCOO-, but both have a total of three carbon atoms per molecule.
Thank you for your question, Lily!]]>
Excellent question, David! You have hit upon one of the great unanswered questions of the universe. That is, is the universe expanding, contracting, or is it stationary? The cosmological constant was first introduced by Einstein into his equations for General Relativity in order to allow for the possibility of a static universe. While Einstein later considered this one of his "biggest blunders," the evidence later seen in the 1990s that suggested an expanding universe (i.e. the redshift in light from distant galaxies) led astronomers to consider the cosmological constant once again. While certainly believed to be a constant, there remains great debate as to the value of this constant, which will in turn tell us if we live in an open universe (forever expanding) or a closed universe that will eventually contract and collapse. Essentially the cosmological constant is an energy density, and if the value of this density in the universe is small enough it means the universe will continue to expand forever, but if it is great enough it means the universe will eventually collapse back in on itself leading to what is often termed a "big crunch." (Some astronomers argue that the universe could then expand again, leading to a cyclical universe of forever repeating "big bangs" and "big crunches," although one has to wonder how this could be compatible with the Second Law of Thermodynamics.) Pick a value right in the middle and the universe is "flat," neither expanding nor contracting.
So does it matter? As a purely practical point if the universe will someday collapse then anyone around at that point may certainly feel that it matters, but as such a time is billions and billions of years away we need not worry about the end of the universe as we know it quite yet. In the meantime, establishing once and for all the value of this constant will aid in our understanding of the structure of the universe and its ultimate fate. Many of us in the mad scientist community are eagerly awaiting such a result in order to perfect our own diabolical contraptions for creating localized regions of collapsing space (very useful in holding cities for ransom, quite necessary when mad scientists usually find themselves ineligible for most research grants).
Thanks for your question, David. I hope you find this information useful as you devise your own schemes for world domination!

Ah, Jacob, this certainly is one of the more peculiar aspects to Relativity! First, however, let us start by establishing a few basics of Einstein's Theory. In Relativity we deal with what are called inertial reference frames, which are simply the frame of reference for any observer moving at a constant speed (a non-inertial reference frame, on the other hand, is a reference frame that is accelerating, and things there become much more complicated). One of the key concepts of Relativity is that while the physical laws are the same in all reference frames, there is no frame of reference that can be said to be at absolute rest. All we can say is that one reference frame is moving relative to another, and whether we choose frame A to be moving relative to frame B or the other way around, it makes no difference, both are equally valid. We can easily visualize this principle when we are riding in a car. To someone standing on the road it appears that they are at rest and we in the car are moving. To us in the car, however, it feels as if we are at rest and the person on the road moves past us. According to Relativity this is more than a mere perception and it is perfectly valid to say that we in the car are in fact the ones at rest with the whole of the world moving relative to us.
Now at normal, everyday speeds this still doesn't make much of a difference for us, but if we are moving at speeds that approach the speed of light, things become much more interesting. For example, the closer we go to the speed of light, the slower time moves (what is termed time dilation) and a clock held by a moving observer will tick more slowly compared to one help by a stationary observer. This can even be seen at relatively slow speeds - an atomic clock on an airplane will eventually run slow as compared to a similar atomic clock that remains on the ground. The different will be incredibly small, but real, and is a result of the clock's motion while sitting on the airplane and not any fault of the timepiece.
"But wait, Dr. Volt, didn't we just say that there isn't any absolute reference frame? We did, as long as it's not accelerating. While the plane is in the air, moving at a constant speed, it will appear to someone on the plane that it is the clock on the ground that is moving and thus running slow. But because the plane must eventually stop on the ground (thus entering the reference frame of the ground clock) it will at some point experience an acceleration which ultimately allows us to say more absolutely that the plane's clock is the one running slow.
So now let's let look at the issue of causality. When one inertial frame is moving near the speed of light relative to the other, then each frame can legitimately say that they are the frame at rest. Now let's imagine that in frame A we have a garage with a door on both ends, and in frame B we have a vehicle. Furthermore, the garage doors are automatic such that as soon as the car reaches one it will instantly open, and as soon as the car has passed through it will instantly close. Now, when both frames are at rest relative to each other the car is longer than the garage. However, another strange feature of Relativity is that when an object moves close to the speed of light its length contracts. So let's assume that the car in frame B is moving fast enough that it's length contracts to a point where it is now shorter than the garage. When it drives through the garage in frame A, an observer in frame A will see the car at some point fully contained within the garage. But wait! The driver of the car in frame B can say that he is the one stationary with the garage moving past him. In that case it is the garage that is moving close to the speed of light and thus becomes shorter, and the driver in frame B will never see a moment in which the car sits entirely within the garage.
We have here a seeming paradox - two observers making fully accurate observations cannot agree on what actually occurs. Either one of them is wrong or our assumptions are incorrect. Relativity says that both observers are correct and that it is indeed our assumptions that are wrong. Specifically, our assumption that events that happen at the same time for one reference frame (i.e. the events of both garage doors being closed) happen at the same time for all observers. The solution to our paradox lies in the fact that they do not. In this example the two observers see the same events happen at different times because the large relative speed between them causes events that are simultaneous in one reference frame to not be so in another. A consequence of this is that there can be certain events in one reference frame which cannot affect certain events in another reference frame because while the "cause" may happen before the "effect" in one reference frame, in another it may be the "effect" that happens first!
So as you can see, Jacob, the world of Relativity is a both fascinating and perplexing place, but I hope this has given you (and our other readers) a taste of this intriguing theory. Its elegance, and dare I say beauty (which you must delve into the mathematics to fully appreciate), speaks volumes of Einstein's great genius.]]>
An excellent topic, Kate! Let's start with the question of atomic mass and the related atomic number. Each element has a unique atomic number which gives the number of protons (positive charge) found in its nucleus. The simplest element, hydrogen, has only one proton and thus an atomic number of 1. Atomic mass takes into account both the number of protons in an atom, but also the number of neutrons (no charge). Atomic mass, however, is not necessarily the same for all atoms of an element, because many elements have different isotopes, which means they have a different number of neutrons. For example, most carbon atoms have an atomic mass of 12 - 6 protons and 6 neutrons. But some carbon atoms have more neutrons, for a total of 8. These atoms then have an atomic mass of 14, but still an atomic number of 6. Carbon-14, as it is called, is radioactive and will ultimately decay, and thus is not found in as large of quantities as everyday Carbon-12.
So why is the periodic table arranged as it is? To start with, in addition to the protons and neutrons in its nucleus, an atom also consists of one or more electrons which orbit the nucleus. The electrons are negatively charged, and so to balance out the atom's total charge an atom will normally have the same number of electrons and protons. The chemical properties of a particular element are greatly affected by the way that the electrons are arranged. Quantum mechanics tells us that no two electrons in an atom may exist in the exact same state, and this leads to the electrons arranging themselves in different "shells," or layers. The first electron shell can hold up to 2 electrons. Hydrogen, with just 1 electron, thus has its electron shell half full, while Helium, with 2 electrons has its shell completely full. The third element, Lithium, has its first shell filled with 2 electrons, followed by 1 electron in the next shell, and so on with all the other elements.
The number of electrons in an elements outer shell are a major facto in determining the element's chemical properties, as atoms "like" to have their outer electron shell full. Thus an atom with just 1 electron in the outer shell will bond most easily with an atom whose outer shell is missing 1 electron. The first atom can then share the electron with the second, and they both then are "happy" with what looks to them like a full outer shell. Elements such as Neon, however, where the outer electron shell is completely full, are chemically inert as they don't feel the need to share their electrons with anyone else.
So as you move horizontally across the periodic table, this corresponds to the filling of the electron shells: the first element in a line has just 1 electron in the other shell, the last in a row has a full outer shell. The elements in each vertical line on the table are thus chemically similar because they have the same number of electrons in their outer shell. There are other factors, of course, which also affect the chemical properties of an element, but it is the filling of the electron shells which gives the periodic table its basic shape.]]>
Ah, it all has to do with acoustics - the physics of how sound, well, sounds in a particular space. Every surface, be it the walls, the seats, and even the audience, will absorb or reflect the sound in a particular way. Concert halls are designed in order to maximize the quality of the sound, both for the listeners, but for the performers as well. If, for example, all the sound is absorbed by the walls, the ceiling, etc. before it ever has a chance to reach the audience's ears, then you can bet they will soon be making a very lively march towards the box office for a refund! The key is to create surfaces in the hall such that the sound is evenly distributed over the entire hall, but yet doesn't reverberate too long (else it will interfere with the sound still to come). It is also important that enough sound bounce back to the performers, so that they are able to hear one another. Otherwise while the audience may hear very clearly, the performance may not turn out to be worth hearing! As you can imagine this all poses a very difficult puzzle for the acoustical engineers designing the hall, further complicated by the fact that you have to take into account how the hall will sound when people are filling all of the seats.
The ancient Greeks were geniuses when it came to acoustics. Their amphitheatres were designed such that an actor on stage could be heard clearly by thousands of spectators all at once, a feat which proves a challenge even for our modern engineering.
As for the best place to sit, that I think is left in "the eye of the beholder." A well-designed concert hall should have excellent sound wherever you sit, and thus it all comes down to your own personal preference.
The Greek ampitheatre at Epidaurus
Ah, potential energy, one of my favorite concepts, for really, where would we be without it? But let's start at the beginning with energy in general. There are two primary types of energy: kinetic energy and potential energy. An object's total energy is the sum of the two and will always remain constant.** Kinetic energy is an object's energy of motion, given by Kinetic Energy = ½mv2. Here m is the object's mass and v is the object's velocity (or speed). All other forms of energy are potential energy, which simply means that they have the potential to become energy of motion. Gravitational potential energy would be a common example. As a lift an object up (that is, away from the Earth) it gains potential energy due to gravity. When I release the object, and gravity pulls it back to Earth, that potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
But perhaps a more mad sciencey example is in order. Another form of potential energy is chemical potential energy, which is how batteries work. In a battery a chemical reaction inside creates an electric current, which is simply electrons in motion, i.e. kinetic energy. But a much more exciting example is this:
That's right, it's our old friend trinitrotoluene, better known as TNT. TNT is a chemical that contains a great deal of chemical potential energy, enough so that when that potential energy is released the results are quite, well, explosive. Chemical potential energy is also found in many fuels that we use, such as oil or coal, not to mention the food we eat in order to gain the energy to pursue our dreams of world domination (I am quite partial in this regard to banana splits).
So you see, Patty, potential energy is all around us and is quite a big deal indeed! For more information on potential energy I suggest you attend my Mad Scientist Training Academy this summer (Assistant's note: see Schrödinger's Cat Must Die!). I think you shall find it most enlightening!
**All right, technically it is the mass and energy combined that remains constant, as shown by Einstein in his famous equation Energy = mc2 where c is the speed of light. Show off.

READERS OF "Cost of Freedom Recap" MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN INVESTMENT DECISIONS.
Ric Grenell: Both Donald Trump and Elizabeth Warren are landlords to people who can't afford housing, and that makes them exactly the same. The difference is that Elizabeth Warren has built a career of manipulating the free market. If she wants to talk about why we've had a housing meltdown, giving people loans, giving people houses, giving people $15 an hour jobs when they're not qualified for that is what's wrong. She has built this whole premise, this liberal premise around manipulating the free market in order to give the stuff away to people for free. And that creates the middle class having to pay a lot more money.
Juan Williams: We are talking about Donald Trump taking advantage on a large scale, of a tragedy, an economic tragedy in our nation. She was doing something for her family members back in the early 1990s. Members of her family, she had some money and she was helping them to get their houses in order. But somehow, Trump now wants to equate that with his intervention in markets. Huge economic housing markets, he said he wanted to see them go bust so he is a business man, could buy low and sell high.
Lisa Boothe: Both Donald Trump and Elizabeth Warren saw an opportunity in the market and took advantage of it. That's smart business practices and good for Warren, but shame on her for trying to take those opportunities away from every day Americans by pushing socialist policies here. She's not just a hypocrite she's also a liar. This is the same woman that lied about her heritage to three different employers to get the job.
Lisa Boothe: Shame on president Obama for doing this while overseas and setting that precedent and also this is the guy who after the Brussels attack, the second worst attack since World War II, I believe. He proceeded to do the wave with a communist dictator and dance the tango, so I don't think President Obama has a lot of room to talk. This is also the guy that draws red lines and fails to follow through, so I don't think he's exactly sending a strong message to other world leaders respected here either.
Juan Williams: Look, we have tried to calm down a world, end two wars, we're trying our best, but I can't agree with president Obama more. You look at things like bond markets. We're on "Cashin' In" in today; who says oh, you know, I may not respect the value of U.S. Bonds? Imagine the impact on world financial markets from that kind of talk Imagine the impact on saying, I'm going to impose tariffs, and I'm going to stop free trade in the world. What would that do our global economy? Imagine the impact of a guy who says one minute, oh, I don't think we should raise minimum wage, then says maybe we should in some states, but not others. What is his policy?
Ric Grenell: Let me make something very clear. Russia grabbed Crimea. The Chinese have grabbed the South China Sea. Iran has a deal and Cuba now has a comfort down below the United States. These leaders need to be rattled. They haven't been rattled and so, when I hear that world leaders are nervous to negotiate with Donald Trump, I say, here, here, because that's exactly what we've needed for a very long time. We've been walked on.
Lisa Boothe: We should cut funding to a city that decides to shield an illegal immigrant wo had seven felony convictions, deported five times who then went on to kill a young woman who had the rest of her life ahead of her because of this policy.
Juan Williams: San Francisco has changed the laws so that anyone who's under suspicion, been convicted, is now going to have their status communicated to the federal government so you can't have a repeat of what happened in the Katie Steinle case, so I think you should be celebrating that San Francisco is listening to "Cashin' In."
Ric Grenell: Let's be very honest with what a sanctuary city is. It's an announcement by politicians that people don't have to follow the law and that law enforcement officials who try to pursue the law will be found in violation of the politician's promise. If you don't know the name, Kamala Harris, get to know it. She's our attorney general here in California; she's running for the senate and has created not only a sanctuary city in San Francisco, but a sanctuary state in all of California. It's a huge problem when politicians ignore laws.

There are many marketing lessons you can learn from Halloween.
Here are just 5 to get you in the mood.
Have a plan
Remember how much effort you put into your last Halloween costume? Was it a lot? Chances are the more time and effort you put into designing your costume the more people will notice and remember you.
Marketing is the same. Dedicate some time each day to audit existing content and plan for future creation.
Don't buy the cheap sweets
Don't leave a bad taste in people's mouth. Everyone remembers the house that hands out the cheap chocolate that sticks to the top of your mouth. Don't be that house.
Cheap marketing tactics won't leave a good impression. Put some time into creating quality resources and investing in targeted campaigns designed to deliver good ROI.
You won't make it to all the houses
Not every house on your street will be celebrating Halloween or handing out candy. Stick to the unwritten rule of trick or treating: if the lights are on, fair game.
If the lights are off and no-one is home, why bother them? Your best bet is to strategically identify and focus on potential customers who need the solutions you have to offer.
Don't steal candy from the baby
If the skulls head candy bowl says take one chocolate bar, resist the temptation to take more.
The social media candy bowl is big enough for us all. Respect your networks, both customers and competitors, and remember basic good manners across all communications.
Have fun!
Breathe in and smell the pumpkin spiced lattes. In the blink of an eye pumpkins will be replaced by baubles, and the silly season will be here again.
The holiday season can be overwhelming, but your holiday marketing plans don't have to be. Now is a great time to re-engage and wake up sleeping customers.
Find out how we can work with you to create a seasonal and engaging campaign which aligns with your company's goals and strategies.

UK: Around 300 leading companies have taken steps to tackle industry skills shortages by engaging with The Year in Industry, a programme run by charity EDT which gives them the opportunity to employ some of the best engineering, science and technology students before they start their university careers.
Companies like Shell, Rolls-Royce, Eon, LOreal, Network Rail and AstraZeneca, as well many medium sized and smaller companies offer gap year students the opportunity to work on projects which give them real experience in a working environment and give the companies the opportunity to engage with future talent.
The experience is of benefit to the student, giving them soft skills which are valuable on their CVs and a taste for working in industry which helps combat the tendency for a proportion of students graduating with technical degrees to pursue careers in other areas. The experience also benefits the company, directly through the work the student undertakes, but also through enabling the company to engage with high quality individuals well before they graduate. Of students who undertook a placement through The Year in Industry this year 23% were offered scholarships by the companies they worked for and 71% were offered further paid work by the company.
Ingimex Student wins a Year in Industry Award for second year running
A student taking a "Year in Industry with Ingimex, the UK's largest manufacturer of light commercial vehicle bodies for dropside, tipper and Luton van conversions, has won the top award at the national awards for "The Year in Industry programme which is run by charity EDT.
Ciarán McEvoy who took the working gap year before going on to study Mechanical Engineering at Newcastle University won the top ranking "Contribution to the Business Award at The Year in Industry Awards which took place at the Royal Academy of Engineering on Thursday 19th September. The prize is sponsored by the Lloyds Register Foundation and is awarded by a panel of judges from major UK companies. His success follows that of Adrian Schmieder another Ingimex Year in Industry student who took the "Innovation award last year.
National Director of The Year in Industry Chris Ward says, "Considering that around 300 companies take students each year under The Year in Industry programme the success of students from Ingimex in the national finals for two consecutive years is remarkable. It is a tribute to the way Ingimex looks after its students and gives them challenging projects which can make a substantial difference to the business. Many major organisations including Shell, Rolls-Royce, Eon, LOreal, Network Rail and AstraZeneca take students through The Year in Industry and Ingimex ranks in that class in providing their students with the opportunity to gain real business skills and experience.
Jeremy Gallen, Engineering Director, Ingimex Ltd says,
"Ingimex is a strong advocate of The Year in Industry as the programme provides genuine two way benefits for the company and the student. As a company we get to work with some exceptional raw talent that is looking for experience before going on to university. This means that we can give them projects which are beyond the day to day, and which can help our engineering team make step changes in the way we do things. The student has the benefit of developing those skills that they dont teach at school or university; how to work in teams, how to persuade and influence people, how to manage projects, how to manage time and how to present ideas. We always like to keep in touch with our students once they have gone to university and they will often come back to us for full or part time work.
Ciarán did exceptionally well to achieve such a successful outcome while working with experienced and mature engineers. His tact and good humour enabled him to see the project through from design to final delivery of the system and a successful implementation involving all the panel assembly operators.
Ciaráns duties at Ingimex included the design and implementation of a bespoke operator-friendly tool shelf; the analysis of a significant work process, identification of a major synchronisation problem and the design and delivery of a cost saving and efficient solution. Ciarán is enthusiastic about the year he has spent working in industry;
"Finally, I was able to put the maths that I had learnt at school into practice, forcing me to remember and therefore embed things I thought Id long forgotten. I found my interpersonal skills stretched, for I had to befriend all the different departments to gain cooperation and trust, to follow my project through to the end. As I mention in my presentation, the transition between school and the working life was the coming to reality of no longer being spoon fed the question and answer and having to go out my way to find both. Nearly all the unemployed University graduates Ive spoken to have the one common problem: lack of experience, so would I recommend the Year In industry? In a word: definitely!
The system Ciarán developed virtually automated the transition of the side panel assembly onto the next stage. The overall time taken at this step was greatly reduced, as he entirely removed a bottleneck and subsequent downtime. The process itself was simplified and made more manageable for the operators and the transition is now a smooth, single movement, assisted by a roller table assembly and lifting mechanism that Ciarán designed and introduced. The net result of this work was a reduction by a third of a critical stage in building the Luton van.
For Ciarán his chances to win awards will not stop here because as winner of the Year in Industry Award he will automatically go forward to participate in the EEF National Manufacturing Student of the Year Award.

TSX and TSXV Implement Amendments to Policies for Rights OfferingsFriday, September 2, 2016
As previously summarized in our November 2015 securities law update, the Canadian Securities Administrators (the "CSA") published CSA Notice of Amendments Relating to Rights Offerings which announced amendments (the "CSA Amendments") to Canada's prospectus-exempt rights offering regime for reporting issuers. The CSA Amendments came into effect on December 8, 2015.
While the CSA Amendments eliminated the regulatory review of a rights offering circular by the CSA (the "CSA Review"), both the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") took a different approach as outlined in their respective guidance to listed issuers released earlier this year in response to the new rights offering regime published by the CSA. Both the TSX and the TSXV announced their intention, subject to all required regulatory approvals, to formally incorporate this new guidance into their respective manuals of rules for listed issuers.
In May 2016, the TSX formally amended Section 614 – Rights Offerings of the TSX Company Manual (the "TSX Manual") to reflect the staff notice it released at the beginning of the year. On August 11, 2016, the TSXV published a notice in its Corporate Finance Bulletin (the "Bulletin") advising that amendments to TSXV Policy 4.5 – Rights Offerings (the "TSXV Amendments") are now in effect, substantially reflecting the guidance released by the TSXV earlier this year.
Pre-clearance of Rights Offerings Documents
On January 18, 2016, the TSX announced in its TSX Staff Notice 2016-0002 (the "Staff Notice") that, despite the elimination of the CSA Review, the TSX still requires pre- clearance of the rights offering notice (Form 45-106F14) together with the rights offering circular (Form 45- 106F15) or rights offering prospectus (collectively, the "Rights Offering Documents"). The Staff Notice outlines that the Rights Offering Documents should be filed with the TSX in draft form at least five trading days prior to finalization. The TSX will use this time to review the pricing, mechanics and timing of the rights offering in order to maintain an orderly market for the trading of the listed securities and the rights.
On January 18, 2016, the TSXV also announced in its Bulletin that the TSXV still requires pre-clearance of the Rights Offering Documents by filing the documents with the TSXV in draft form. In contrast to the Staff Notice, neither of the TSXV's notices published in its Bulletin on January 18, 2016 nor August 11, 2016 specifies a minimum number of days in advance of finalization that the Rights Offering Documents should be filed; however, the TSXV's guidance to issuers is that they provide the TSXV with "sufficient time" to review the pricing, mechanisms and timing of the rights offering.
Determination of Record Date
Section 614 – Rights Offerings of the TSX Manual currently requires that all deficiencies raised by the TSX during the pre-clearance processes be resolved at least seven trading days prior to the record date. The Staff Notice outlined that, effective immediately, the TSX would reduce the advance notification period to set the record date for all rights offerings from seven trading days to five trading days.
Policy 4.5 – Rights Offerings of the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual (the "TSXV Manual") also previously required at least seven trading days for deficiency resolution in the pre-clearance process. However, further to the TSXV Amendments, Policy 4.5 – Rights Offerings was amended so that the date by which all deficiencies in the Rights Offering Documents must be resolved is now five trading days prior to the record date.
Both the TSX and TSXV believe that five trading days is sufficient time to advise market participants of the commencement of ex-rights trading in the listed securities as ex-rights trading typically begins two trading days prior to the record date.
Additional TSXV Guidance
The TSXV Amendments are summarized below.
Minimum Rights Subscription Price - $0.01
The TSXV amended Subsection 4.3, now Subsection 1.6, of Policy 4.5 of the TSXV Manual such that the subscription price for securities to be acquired on the exercise of rights cannot, in any case, be less than $0.01.
Fractional Rights
The TSXV amended Subsection 1.6 of Policy 4.5 of the TSXV Manual such that fraction of rights may be issued, provided that the number of rights required to purchase a security must be whole.
Minimum Warrant Exercise Price and Term
The TSXV amended Subsection 4.4, now Subsection 1.7, of Policy 4.5 of the TSXV Manual such that the minimum exercise price of a warrant forming part of a unit to be acquired on the exercise of a right must not be less than the market price prior to the news release announcing the rights offering and must not be less than $0.05. Any warrant forming part of a unit must not expire later than five years after the date of the right expires.
Optional Listing of Rights
The TSXV has amended Policy 4.5 of the TSXV Manual to expressly provide that rights may be, but are not required to be, listed for trading on the TSXV, at the election of the issuer. However, all rights must be transferable.
New Large Shareholders
The TSXV has amended Policy 4.5 of the TSXV Manual such that shareholder approval of the creation of any new control person of the issuer as a consequence of a stand-by commitment for a rights offering generally will not be required, provided that (i) the rights are listed for trading on the TSXV, and (ii) the subscription price for the rights is at a prescribed discount to the market price. If one or both of these criteria are not satisfied, the TSXV may first require shareholder approval of the creation of the new control person.
If, upon completion of a rights offering, an individual may own or control, beneficially or as nominee, directly or indirectly, securities representing more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding voting securities of an issuer (and, where the securityholder is not an individual, any director, officer or insider of that securityholder), the TSXV requires the individual to file a duly completed Personal Information Form (Form 2A) or, if applicable, a Declaration (Form 2C1) with the TSXV prior to the TSXV accepting a rights offering that includes a stand-by commitment.
The TSX and TSXV have each amended the TSX Manual and the TSXV Manual, as applicable, in order to incorporate the guidance with respect to rights offerings outlined in the Staff Notice and Bulletin, respectively. If you have any questions with respect to the guidance in the Staff Notice or the Bulletin, the amendments to the TSX Manual, the TSXV Amendments, or rights offerings in general, please contact Jeff Hergott or any other member of our Corporate Finance practice group.

Mitchell Lund hopes to prove to Paul Dickov he can be his right-hand man.
The 18-year-old, who penned a new two-year deal last week, reports back to pre-season training today as the only out and out right back on Rovers' books.
Dickov has made no secret of the fact that he wants to strengthen in both full back positions before the start of the new season.
However Lund, who impressed in a run of four senior outings at the end of last season, will not be shy of putting his case forward during pre-season preparations. "The experience of last season has boosted my confidence quite a bit," Lund told Rovers' official website.
"I thought I did well and proved to people what I can do and hopefully I can do that again this season.
"Hopefully this season I can get a few starts.
"I need to come in and show what I am made of and work hard in pre-season and see what comes out of it."
Leeds born Lund joined Rovers' academy at the age of 12 and signed his first full professional contract with the club last summer.
He made his first ever senior start against Burton Albion in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy but really caught the eye at the end of last season when he was handed a chance to impress in League One.
The teenager grabbed the opportunity with both hands, showing a composure beyond his years and an old-school passion for defending.
A new deal was never in doubt.
"I'm absolutely buzzing, my family are so proud and I am proud and really pleased," said Lund.
"It's great to sign.
"This contract is some really good feedback and hopefully I can continue to get a few more games now.
"It was great to make my debut last year, it is a feeling that is hard to explain.
"It is something that everybody wants to do and a childhood dream which has come true for me."

Hey there everyone,
Im in a bit of a happy daze from the antics of this weekend. Seeing some of my oldest and best friends and sharing stories from the past few years has been insane. I can't even explain how grateful I am to have such incredible humans that I love so much and are still in my life after all these years. And it's still shocking to me that we are where we are, after what we've all been through. I'm so proud of all of them and I will forever be their fan girl. They inspire me everyday and I really appreciate that our weirdness just gets weirder.
Today was quite difficult to warm up as I'd only had 2 hours sleep and a job interview to get to in the early hours of the morning. And after saying see you soon to Connor before he left for Hanoi, Vietnam, his departure left me feeling like I had a limb removed. I then had a great interview for a new job and spent the afternoon in the sun having a wonderful time with Jade, Marie and the whole family.
I arrived home later that afternoon and got straight on the mat after suffering from major withdrawal symptoms and cravings all day. To the point were I was on various train platforms standing like a flamingo, waving my arms about. I'd imagined myself looking like a bad attempt at swan lake arms. T-Rex trying anyone?
My hamstrings and shoulders were really tight but after a good 20 minute warm up I felt better and started opening up. Downward dog is still a beast. I can do it for five minutes but damn does it turn into what seems like I'm stood on a vibration plate. But it's great for the core and I'm improving daily so perseverance is key. And everyday there seems to me a noticeable difference in a growing resistencto pain. Breathing techniques are very good during these moments. Long and steady breathes to fill the capacity of your lungs from the bottom to the top and go as slowly as you need to.
I'm in love with yoga as we all know now. But it's becoming far greater than I ever thought. I hadn't really shut up about it and it's had a rather grand entrance into my life and is getting very comfortable. I think about flows constantly. I'm wholly consumed at the possibilities of yoga and all that I can achieve. And after a few discussions and inspiring stories from travelling, I have already decided on a goal to work towards. I'm researching into a few different retreats, training, local schools, and not at all local schools.
The reason being is I'd like to deepen my knowledge of the practice, to challenge myself and be able to give advice to those who ask me and not feel uncomfortable if it may perhaps not be the correct information, of course I don't want to do that in case of obvious reasons. I know my own body's limits, well most of the time. I'd like to learn to see things from a different perspective. I've been getting a lot of great feedback recently and in terms a couple of subjectivities that have really motivated me to focus on completing a 200 hour intensive Yoga Teacher Training course in the near future. Of course, I need to plan this, which is great because I love planning. Especially if it involves two of my favourite things.
My yearning to travel has been itching since I was born and it won't stop until I feed that fire so I'm planning on finding a residential course in Thailand or Bali. I'm gonna work my butt off to make this happen and I'd like to visit a few friends on that beautiful side of the world and explore this incredible planet, be apart of as many places as possible. Eat food I've never seen or heard about and meet people from everywhere. I need more stories and adventures. To experience far more than I have. It's time to grow into the world I live in and open my mind and heart to achieving this. I thrive when I seek adventure. I don't particularly feel fear when exploring. What installs fear into my mind is staying somewhere for too long and missing out on diving into the ocean of possibilities that are just outside of my comfort zone.
There have been very few decisions in my life that I have been this excited and sure about. It's been a long time coming and it's about time I started focussing on a goal that makes me feel so sure in trusting the uncertainty of the future. I'm going to jump into the possibilities now. It'll take time to get there but damn it is already worth it. I can't wait to get a proper plan in place and consistently see progress from my own decisions.
I just wanted to say to everyone that reads my blog and other social media, you guys and girls have helped me more than you'll ever know. It's hard to explain just how much I appreciate all your kind words and support. For the first time in a what to me feels like forever, I'm finally on a path that feels solely my own and I feel very lucky and I thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul.
