'Zen' is not a word that would ever describe me. I'm anything but 'zen'. I live life at full speed, I'm a very passionate person and my range of emotions can go from high to low in the blink of an eye. I'm also very real and I follow my heart in everything I do. The only time I can slow down and truly live in the moment is when I have a camera in my hand. My camera is to me, what a security blanket is to a child. It gives me the super power of forgetting everything else, good or bad, happening in my life. I am truly in the moment when I'm 'in the zone'.
Lately, I've been trying to seek more ways to live more in the moment and extend this well-being beyond the camera. I've always been envious of people who carry a sketchbook with them and have the ability to draw what they see at the park, on the train or at the cafe. So I decided to give drawing a try!
I believe that drawing, just like painting, photography, music and any other art forms, is something that anyone can learn. The innate talent is what will differentiate the dilettante from the true artist. I am quite sure that I do not have any talent for pencil sketching but I think it may be a good way for me to slow down and be in the moment.
I can barely draw a recognizable stickman, but I am ready for the challenge. I am taking my first drawing lesson on Tuesday with a local artist in Minneapolis and I'm so excited!!! It will be a very humbling experience, I have no expectations other that learning something new. My sketch book, pencils, kneaded eraser and blending tortillions are ready. It's time to go beyond the stickman!
I would love to read your thoughts in the comment section :)

The Key to Successful Recovery
As you may or may not know, I recently had an operation on my foot!
The timing of all this is not great – but then is it ever. In fact part of the healing process is getting the mental side right. Sure when you are on crutches and generally pretty incapacitated it's so easy to moan, generally feel sorry for yourself, believe the world is conspiring against you and become down and depressed.
So focusing on the challenge ahead, setting yourself milestones, goals and generally believing this is actually a great opportunity, rather than a set-back, to come back faster, fitter, stronger and even more effective than before.
I am shortly going to be filming a recovery diary talking you through my daily battles, struggles, successes and failures to help other people in a similar situation know and understand they are not alone in this and that together we can all help each other get though this and out the other side in the best possible shape – mentally and physically.
Anyhow more about this later.
So back to me. As a consequence of my operation I have been unable to train or do any form of conditioning. This is full surgeon's orders!
I have to allow the wound to heal properly, as it's in a really tricky area. With Ops like mine sadly you just can't afford to rush things, however tempting it might be. It's important to note that post Op; you are always at risk of infection, so you can't get the area wet, that's means either by water or through sweat.
So for those of you who follow www.jameshaskell.com or my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/thejameshaskell you know I love my training and rugby. So this period has been super hard for myself and anyone around me. The expression "a bear with a sore head" comes to mind. Although remember what I said above about the importance of the mental side of all this. You have to channel your thoughts positively
So the view is the upside of all this is that it has allowed other areas of my body to rest, which is great. Although of course I would like the option to train and keep my muscles toned if I could.
During this frustrating period, I sort some positives, so I looked around the market and found a solution to my problems.
I got myself a Compex.
It's an awesome bit of kit that helps stimulate your muscles. It can improve healing but critically it slows down muscle wastage. There are also settings to build muscle!! They are used the world over by athletes and physio's to help rehab injuries.
You may have heard about them or seen people using them before, but If you haven't, then I have put a video together showing you how I use it, and what it is all about.
One of the many reason behind the Compex is to provide people who can't move, or are in need of serious rehab, something to use to train and help them on their journey back to fitness. There are no excuses not to be able to get some work done, no matter what state you are in.
Even when you can move, you would for example wear the unit whilst you are squatting to really engage particular muscle groups.
There is no escaping the fact they are expensive bits of kit but what price would you put on a full and positive recovery and to retain some if not most of the muscle mass you have built up over the years?
If you want to get one and I wouldn't ever be without mine I have sorted out an amazing 15% discount with the company just for my followers. So if you are in a similar position to me and absolutely need one, to qualify just enter the code JHHF at the checkout point on their website www.compexstore.com.
If you want to find out more about what I am up to, then please like our Facebook page www.facebook.com/jameshaskellJHHF
Or follow us on instagram @jameshask.
I am always posting training content, nutrition information, funny videos, rugby tips as well as behind the scenes videos. Plus as I said above I will shortly be starting my recovery diary.

3 Things You Should Do When Someone Copies Your Work
This morning, I woke up to see that someone new to fonts on Creative Market had started using the same formatting and city-title concept that I've been using for months. I literally did a double-take when I saw it, thinking "I didn't make this, right?" Bummer.
So, as could be expected, I got into a little bit of a rage and started thinking of ways I could get this person to stop. I mean, I'm seeing this only two days after my entrepreneurial father warned me that people would try to knock off my stuff soon. Won't people notice??
As I cooled down, I started to remember the countless marketing books I've read and what they all say about this – don't waste your time, make better stuff.
I realize every situation is different (sometimes, yes, you should definitely take legal action), but this morning, here are 3 things I'm doing to handle this situation:
Settle down, take a deep breath, evaluate the situation. This person has two fonts. I have 30. As long as I keep doing what I'm doing, they'll struggle to catch up to the amount of content I have. Also, it could be that this person, new to the game, saw my work on several pages and figured that's what cover images needed to look like for their fonts to be successful. Doesn't explain the city-name thing, but still. Assume the best.
Content is king, people. Put out more content than your copy-cat can keep up with. Consumers will gravitate toward familiarity, and if you keep putting out great content consistently, they'll see you more and trust you more.
I read a great quote in an article today as I was going about my justice-fury:
And as you are steaming ahead in growing your business, let them struggle with the realities of getting a business off the ground. Because, let's face it, if you're so lacking in imagination that you have to steal someone else's idea, then you don't deserve to be successful, and probably won't be. - Hannah Martin
The people copying you are obviously not that creative if they feel the need to rip you off. We're dealing with the same issue in our other businesses at the moment as well. People see what we're doing, are maybe "inspired" by the model, and blatantly copy it almost immediately after we announce what we're doing. Imitation is flattery, I suppose, but they'll quickly realize that what works for us may not work for them. And the same goes for you!
So! Take a deep breath, keep doing what you're doing, and let it run its course. Odds are, if others are blatantly copying you, you're doing something right.

Lacing up the tattered laces on my Asics, my old friends looked at me like a pair of puppies happy to get out of the house. We have been through a lot together over the past year or so, including the joy and pain of Ironman last August. Blowing the dust off of the running gear, it was a perfect Friday for my favorite route.
Springing to life, my footsteps picked up the cadence of the new Toby Mac beat ringing in my headphones. The warm sun embraced me and the ocean breeze filled my lungs with life. Cresting the ridge of Hill Street, the Pacific Ocean was laid out in front of me kissing the sky. Ridges of perfect waves rolled towards the cliffs, connecting with surfers as they hollered in joy.
I passed a group of people staring at the changing blue tide. I wondered if their shadows on the ground were just as inspired by the living artwork as they were.
I passed a mother and a small child. The little girl was running towards a guard-rail with both hands toward the sky attempting to embrace the oceanic beauty before her. The mother was smiling at her daughter and gave me a glance. I wondered what scene was more beautiful? The ocean, the daughter, or the mother's visible love for her child?
My footsteps propelled me forward as I passed two parents taking a photo of their young son against the backdrop of the water. His army uniform was neatly pressed and his smile was full of wonder. I caught a glimpse of fear in his eyes. I prayed that this picture would not show up on the news someday. "Lord bring him back safely"
I ran past a wedding and looked at the bride and groom hold hands while standing on the sandstone rocks. White little chairs stacked neatly on the tilted rock as the crashing waves temporarily drowned out the preacher's words. Would they remember this day forever, or be meddled in hardship down the road? "Bless their marriage Lord."
I ran further down the rocks and saw a teenage girl take a huge inhale off a pipe. Her friends laughed as she choked on the weed's toxins. I wondered if she used to be the little girl running towards the ocean while her mother smiled at her. The sadness in her eyes was overwhelming, and I looked back at the white spray. "Lord, help save our youth"
I passed by a group of drifters in their mid-twenties dressed in rags. Drinking out of paper bags they argued with each other. Under the Ocean Beach pier, the distraction of anger blasted the view that laid before them to the West. Are we so jaded that life has come to this?
Passing under a bridge towards home, I surveyed the sleeping bags laid on the rocks which created a homeless shanty town of hopelessness and pain. Empty 40 bottles were stacked neatly in a pile as the ceremonial idols of this village. Would the drifters on the beach eventually have this fate and permanently wear the frowns of the homeless while living in paradise?
And then I realized the beauty of it all. This was Good Friday. The Friday the world grew dark so we could be connected with the light. The day the greatest pain of all was felt so we could experience freedom. He is here calling us. As the ocean reflects His beauty, the crashing waves whisper his name. Our beating hearts call out to him in musical tones. He has given us a gift worth sharing with the world. To the young, the old, the married and the homeless: Take a second to step back and breathe in the hope. This run may just change your life.
Isaiah 40:28-31 (New International Version)
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

bringing 2 U events & happenings in and around Ipoh … & beyond…
Munshi Abdullah, born Abdullah bin Abdul Kadir, is known as "The Father of Modern Malay Literature". Born in 1797 in Kampung Pali, Malacca, he was given the title "Munshi" when he was just a teenager. It means "Teacher of Language" in Arabic. One of this more well-known Malay literature is "Hikayat Abdullah" which in Malay means the "Story of Abdullah".
Kampung Pali, which was later renamed Kampung Masjid, and is now known as Kampung Ketek (Ketek Village), is one of the oldest villages recorded since the Dutch era in Melaka. Located in the UNESCO World Heritage Zone of Malacca City, it is stashed in a corner of Jonker and Harmony Streets, opposite of Cheng Hoon Teng temple, and could be easily missed, even for locals.
The village is so small, it only has seven residential houses. Some of these houses are still occupied. The mausoleum of Acheh General, Syamsudin Al-Sumatarani, is also found in Kampung Ketek.

Every year, the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show takes over the whole of Carlton Gardens, and it's not just a display of exotic plants and gardening utensils.
The Diggers Club, for example, is a plant conservation group that has set up an edible garden area with a tasting station, where you can sample vegetables and herbs you won't find in a supermarket aisle.
There's a range of designer cubby houses created by some of Australia's top design and architecture firms, and fashion shows where the clothes are made entirely from flowers and foliage (inspired by the NGV's Viktor & Rolf exhibition).
There are fully fledged gardens, classes on posy arranging, and live competitions featuring some of the city's up-and-coming floral designers.
We spoke to a landscape designer and two florists about some of the show's highlights.
Floral design
You know the heavenly smell of a fresh bunch of flowers? Multiply that by a few thousand, and then you have some idea of what the Royal Exhibition Building will smell like this weekend as the Great Hall of Flowers.
This is where you can buy a posy or plant from any number of Australian flower growers, and where some of the country's most talented floral designers will set up shop for the weekend.
Among them is Melbourne's own Liz Ricci of Flower Temple, whose display sits under the building's central dome. Her exhibit features five new breeds of chrysanthemum – the first-ever chrysanthemums to be bred entirely in Australia.
"They've been bred from scratch over about five years of trials, and the ones on display [at the show] are the first-ever Australian-bred chrysanthemums. It's a really big, outstanding effort," Ricci says.
To showcase the flowers, Ricci has collaborated with Melbourne-based artist Georgia Steele, a 22-year-old student at RMIT University. Steele was commissioned by Ricci to paint "giant portraits" of the five new breeds, which have been arranged into an exhibition-in-miniature at the centre of the Exhibition Building. To complete the portraits, Ricci and her team have arranged the actual chrysanthemums in a "collage" around each frame.
Landscaped exteriors
The Flower and Garden Show is essentially a bunch of gardens within a garden – its not just rows of flowers, but fully realised, landscaped spaces.
Charlie Albone has been working in the landscaping industry since he was 17 years old. In that time, he has gone from doing "a bit of garden maintenance" to winning awards at one of the world's most prestigious garden shows, the Chelsea Flower Show in London.
Now living in Australia and with his own company, Inspired Exteriors, Albone is exhibiting at the show for the first time. His fully realised garden, The Husqvarna Garden: An Urban Sanctuary, was built in just nine days, and includes a copper-and-stone pavilion, a stream-like water feature, a flower garden and a colonnade of trees.
"There's a fine line between a garden being practical and being beautiful, and I try to work in the balance between the two," says Charlie. "We live in a bit of a crazy world, where everything happens so fast, and I do always get a bit of relief from my garden. I kind of wanted to recreate that feeling of relaxation."
Once you've got some inspiration, you can make an appointment to have a free advisory session with builders, gardeners and landscape designers from Landscaping Victoria to talk about your own garden plans.
Build-your-own workshops
Each day of the show Natasha Shotton – who runs Melbourne's My Flowerhouse – is running three different floral workshops.
The Stringy Succulent Garden class draws on the traditional Japanese technique of kokedama: hanging gardens that use balls of string wrapped around a plant's roots in place of a pot.
"Basically, it's taking a plant – indoor or outdoor, it doesn't matter – and you create a layered effect with clay and designer bush moss. You apply string and fishing line around the roots to create a perfect root ball, then you can hang them," Shotton explains. "We've also created some beautiful custom-made leather hanging straps for the class."
In the Flower Rings masterclass, you'll learn to make floral headwear and jewellery by weaving together leather with fresh flowers, which you can take with you at the end of the class.
The aim of Perfect Posies workshop is to master the art of posy-making using the European technique of spiralling the stem.
"The purpose is to ultimately create a perfectly rounded posy," says Shotton. "It's a hand-tied posy – everything is made in your hand so you get to feel everything you're doing.
"It's very intimate and hands-on."
The Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show will take place at Carlton Gardens and the Royal Exhibition Centre from March 29 to April 2, 2017 from 9am to 5pm daily. Tickets from $24 and children under 14 are free. More information and tickets here.

4 Walls Falling - Culture Shock (1991)
4 Walls Falling were a political hardcore band from Richmond, VA. They had a sound that, though metallic, was very rooted in the old-school hardcore style of the 80's. There are times when listening to this cd that I want to make comparisons to mid 80's NYHC like Sick of it All and Youth of Today and other times I want to compare their sound to turn of the decade New Age Records bands like Mouthpiece, Endpoint and Outspoken. Alltogether though, I think they have their own sound. While old-school hardcore doesnt have much gradation in terms of tone or speed 4 Walls have blended a nice amount og metal and melody to offset this fact. Great fast parts, chugging breakdowns, and youth crew vocals all mke it an essential for any fan of the genre. Greed is my favorite song, opening with a sample of Michael Douglas from the movie Wall Street.
Definitely pick this one up. You wont regret it.

Saw some people pointing out something after Ballard's fight last game, so lets take a look his fights this season.
November 11th 2011 Ballard vs Perry (Anaheim Ducks)
January 17th 2012 Ballard vs Fraser (LA Kings)
January 21st 2012 Ballard vs Pavelski ( San Jose Sharks)
He is literally fighting for his spot on the Canucks lately but another observation is that Keith Ballard hates California. Why? What did California do to Keith Ballard?
In other news, yesterday at the Canucks Super Skills competition Ballard managed to beat Mason Raymond for fastest skater. I knew he was speedy from his end to end rushes that usually amount to nothing but I was definitely not expecting him to beat Raymond, even if just by a fraction of a second.
If anybody needs me in the next couple of weeks I will be in the corner of my parents basement, in my underwear, clutching my Ballard t-shirt. I may return after February 27th.

Thoughts on Brexit/
I was listening last night and today to all the commentators discussing Brexit. I then saw some highlights of a talk that President Obama gave today. He said that Brexit was a reaction to the challenges of Globalization. I think he is right. As I post now on my Youtube channel, I am working on a series called "Business in the Internet Age". One of the themes that comes out of that is the global audience and how this impacts a business. Many small businesses can not see the tidal wave of Global Competition coming to them and are not ready when it is. There are some professions that simply are not viable as a stand alone business anymore. You can get similar quality online at a fraction of the cost. It can be greatly upsetting to find that the thing that you spent 20+ years doing just doesn't cut it anymore. I can't turn back time, but I work with them to re-describe their business in a way that is profitable again. People in general don't have the kind of help that I bring to business owners. Some of them have reacted by not looking into the future and thinking about what might happen. They let the world pass around them and can't react when there are changes. They don't like the changes as it upsets the status quo of their life. You can't really blame them. What they have been doing to make their life better no longer works. They react and sometimes overreact. On top of that our confrontational style of looking at the events of the day have added to the burden that people have.
The unfortunate part is that this has become mixed with racism at many levels. But what I have found interesting is that two words have now taken on a negative connotation: Nationalism and Populism. The rise of Nationalism near the beginning of the 19th Century culminated in the end of the multi-cultural Empires of World War I. Wilson's 14 points have extended this and it has been a balancing act for all of us. What is a minority that is expressing self-determination and what is a terrorist group? Populism has been that streak of politics that has been against the elites, taking the side of regular individuals. The negative comes about when people are fed lies by demagogues. Not so long ago those words were used in a positive light.
What can you do? Educate yourself. Look into the future and see what changes are coming at you. Investigate the positions of leaders who want you to think one way or another. Think critically about what anyone says. I like define myself as an Extreme Moderate taking Moderation to the Extreme. But each of you must find your own way. All I ever ask is that you remember that just because someone disagrees with you doesn't automatically make them stupid or evil. If you start with honest disagreement, you can find that other's poking at your views can lead to better clarity in what you think and how you got there. Nothing wrong with that.
Let me use one example of where it gets odd. Companies in the US sell a lot of product into the EU. When they do, they have to obey EU regulations that apply. So, any notion that this is a special barrier because you are part of the EU makes no sense - whether the UK is out of the EU or inside it. What this means to me is that not much is going to actually change right away. There will be some turmoil because the news cycle craves crisis, but for the average person it won't actually mean very much in the short term. In the long term, there are always opportunities to redefine our path forward.

As promised, I will be doing a recap of my health/fitness goals from the new year. The first couple of months are always the hardest to get into a routine. I feel like if you can get through January and February, you'll make it through. Maybe that's just me, but I do better once I get used to a schedule. My goal was 5 pounds a month for 4 months, to lose a total of 20 pounds. I started January 1st, and we're in the middle of March and I'm down 8 pounds! Not at the exact goal I set for myself, but definitely on my way. February was a super challenging month with traveling, Valentine's Day and other winter woes. Honestly winter is the hardest time to lose weight. You just want warm, comfort food! But my clothes are fitting a little better and I'm feeling more active, happier and in control. I'm excited to keep going!
To be honest, I was a little disappointed in January while doing WW. Four years ago, when I lost 35 pounds, it was like... if I followed the points, I lost at least 2 pounds a week. That was that. This time, I'd follow the points and I'd gain 2 pounds. It was so discouraging at first. After doing a bit of research online, I found out a lot of women were struggling with the new WW plan. So I had to take down my daily points, and could not touch my extra weekly or activity points. It went from feeling like I was eating a ton each day to basically nothing. That wasn't the case, but it just felt like such a drastic change. But I got into a new routine and felt fine after a few weeks of eating less. As for food these past few months, for breakfast I'll usually do a yogurt or fiber bar. Lunch is pretty much always a salad. I've honestly fallen in love with salads over the past few months and now I crave them. Ha! I also eat a lot of soups. For dinner, I try to cook whole-wheat pasta dishes, stir-fry veggies, veggie tacos and grilled or baked chicken. When dining out, my favorites have been veggie pizzas, thai chicken lettuce wraps and whole wheat mariana spaghetti. For sweet tooths, I always keep fruit around, along with WW fudge bars and frozen yogurts. That's not to say I don't indulge in some of my favorite foods once in a while, but this is what I tend to stick to on my "good" days.
As for my exercise routine, it's really basic. I'm doing the same routine I did when I lost 35 pounds. I try to run 3 times a week, and hop around to a few of the different machines at the gym and do two reps of 15. I do an ab, upper arm, and inner thigh machine. My routine usually takes about 30 minutes at the gym. I can run 2 miles in about 20 minutes, and then my machines only take about 10-15 minutes. I love having a gym membership, but now that it's getting nicer I'm excited to run outdoors a bit. I just crank some music and run! I just received a couple of new workout pieces from Albion Fit and I loved wearing them to the gym! My favorite part about this top is how long it is and didn't ride up at all. I felt so comfortable sweatin' it out at the gym tonight.
Albion Fit is doing an amazing giveaway for Selective Potential readers! They are offering one of you a $100 gift card to their shop. Both my pants and top are from Albion Fit and their materials are so breathable and flexible. Just head over to their website and leave a comment with what you'd get with your gift card!

Information in this article may not be canonical to the storyline of the games or any other Sonic continuity.
Tikal's Prayer is a reoccurring quotation in the anime series Sonic X. It is an ancient chant from the Knuckles Clan which is used when tapping into the power of the Master Emerald.
Tikal's Prayer is a mantra which has been used exclusively by the echidnas of the Knuckles Clan. It is often used by the clan to draw out the full potential of the Master Emerald's power. The prayer has many variations, although its most recognizable version is as following:
Tikal's Prayer describes the relationship between the Chaos Emeralds, Master Emerald and their users. "The seven Chaos Emeralds are the servers" refers to the seven Chaos Emeralds; "Our hearts intensify their power..." refers to the Emeralds' chaos energy and their ability to turn people's thoughts into power; and "The controller is the one that unifies the Chaos" refers to the Master Emerald and its ability to control the Chaos Emeralds.[1]
Tikal's Prayer was known to exist many generations ago, but its origins are unknown. Tikal was a practitioner of this chant, which she seemingly learned from the Master Emerald itself after coming into contact with the massive gem for the first time.[1] When Chaos went on a rampage, Tikal used the prayer to contain Chaos and herself within the Master Emerald.[2]
Chaos Emerald Saga
Knuckles first heard a part of Tikal's Prayer during a vision given to him by the red Chaos Emerald,[3] inspiring him to make a risky alliance with Dr. Eggman to get back to his world.[4]
Chaos Saga
During Dr. Eggman's agenda with Chaos, Tikal's Prayer was heard by Knuckles and Sonic during the visions Tikal showed them about her and Chaos' past to stop Chaos from wrecking havoc on Earth.[1][2]
Shadow Saga
While onboard the Space Colony ARK, Knuckles used Tikal's Prayer in order to call upon the Master Emerald to nullify the power of the Chaos Emeralds and prevent the ARK from crashing into Earth.[5]
Metarex Saga
During the war against the Metarex, Knuckles would often use Tikal's Prayer to make the Master Emerald provide a power boost for the Blue Typhoon, a spaceship which the gem served as the power source of.

Fears shroud France election after Champs Elysees attack
PARIS: The killing of a policeman on Paris's Champs Elysees rocked France's presidential race Friday with just two days to go before voting in the closest election for decades.
A note praising Islamic State (IS) was found near the body of the 39-year-old French attacker, who shot dead one officer and wounded two others before being killed by police.
The note bolstered IS's claim that the perpetrator, named as Karim Cheurfi, was one of its "fighters".
Far-right leader Marine Le Pen — who is locked in a tight four-way contest with centrist Emmanuel Macron, conservative Francois Fillon and Communist-backed firebrand Jean-Luc Melenchon — moved quickly to present herself as the toughest of the four on terrorism.
The 48-year-old National Front leader called for France to "immediately" take back control of its borders from the European Union and deport all foreigners on a terror watchlist.
"This war against us is ceaseless and merciless," she said in a sternly-worded address, accusing the Socialist government of a "cowardly" response to the threat.
Fillon and Macron also hastily convened televised briefings, where they both vowed to protect the French.
"Some haven't taken the full measure of the evil," 63-year-old Fillon said, promising an "iron-fisted" approach.
Macron, a 39-year-old moderate whom other candidates have portrayed as inexperienced, warned against any attempts to use the attack for political gain.
"Let us not give into fear, let us not give into division," he said, telling voters he would be "unwavering in protecting you."
A statement by IS's propaganda agency Amaq said the attacker was one of its "fighters", identifying him as "Abu Yussef the Belgian".
But French authorities named him as Karim Cheurfi, a Frenchman living in the Paris suburbs.
'Exploiting' attack
It was unclear how the election would be impacted by the shooting, which came days after two men were arrested in Marseille on suspicion of plotting an imminent attack.
The shooting follows a series of strikes around Europe in the last month, targeting Stockholm, London and the underground train system in Saint Petersburg.
Until now, surveys showed voters more concerned about unemployment and the economy than terrorism or security, though analysts warned this could change in the event of violence.
Macron and Le Pen had long led the presidential campaign but Melenchon and Fillon have closed in on them, with Fillon regaining some support lost to an expenses scandal.
Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve accused Le Pen of attempting to use the police killing for political gain, saying she was "seeking, as she does after every tragedy, to take advantage of it".
US President Donald Trump tweeted that the attack "will have a big effect" on the election.
Another terrorist attack in Paris. The people of France will not take much more of this. Will have a big effect on presidential election!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 21, 2017
Muslim body condemns attack
The prestigious Egyptian Muslim institution Al-Azhar condemned on Friday the attack in Paris, describing it as "sinful" and un-Islamic.
"Al-Azhar strongly condemns this sinful terrorist attack," the Cairo-based institution said in a statement.
"Al-Azhar affirms its categorical rejection of such terrorist acts that contradict Islamic teachings," it added.

An Island In the Storm
Pelle Lang is a guide. Pelle Lang is also, among other things, a hotel owner, a marketing director, a sort of union organizer, a website manager, and a former, current, and probably forever ski bum. And as the co-owner of the Skier's Lodge (formerly La Chaumine), a combination all-inclusive chalet and certified guide service at the hardcore skier's paradise of La Grave, France, Pelle Lang is all of these things at once.
Starting a lodge and guide service at an unknown mountain that Lang estimates is suitable for about three percent of the world's skiers was a steep uphill slog. "When I'd go home to Sweden each summer, I would never have any money," he says of the early years. "People were always asking me, 'Why are you doing this? You aren't so young, why don't you stay here and settle down?"' Despite the words of discouragement, Lang kept at it, multitasking like a man possessed until word finally got out among skiing's elite: La Grave is the shit, and Lang's the guy to show you around.
Lang's road to La Grave is a classic ski-bum tale: Starts skiing on modest slopes in his native Sweden, his passion fueled by watching national hero Ingemar Stenmark on television. Takes a trip to Verbier at age 16, where he is introduced to big terrain. From that point on, his dreams are of a winter in the Alps. He realizes them a few years later in 1981 when, at 21, after a stint of required military service (serving as an army sniper) and a self-guided expedition to Russia's Caucasus Mountains, he moves to Chamonix. He intends to ski there for one season but stays for seven. He visits La Grave in 1986, then a relatively unknown place.
And he just knew.
"I found an old village and an old hotel and a lift with 2,200 vertical meters with no people on it," the soft-spoken Lang explains. Two years later, in 1988, Lang found a pair of investors to help him buy La Chaumine. He opened the Skier's Lodge in 1989.
Now he spends six days a week escorting clients up, down, and around a 13,065-foot mountain that has no ski patrol or avalanche control, is laced with fall-and-die pitches, dimpled with snow-covered crevasses, and offers what is probably the most challenging lift-served terrain in the world.
For Lang, the Skier's Lodge exists merely as an extension of La Grave's terrain. "Skiing needs places like La Grave," he says. "Because it's a dream. And what can you do without a dream?"
Born: May 10, 1960; Borlange, Sweden.
Extreme Endorsement: When Doug Coombs holds his steeps camp at La Grave, Lang is his guide.
Take that, Seth Morrison: Lang skis on a one-of-a-kind, handmade pair of K2 fat skis that were hand-delivered to him by the company's general manager, Tim Petrick.
Swedening the Deal: Lang founded the Swedish Guide Organization and saw it through the arduous and expensive Union Internationale Des Association De Guides De Montagne (UAIGM) guide-certification process.
Sixth Sense: In January 2001, while skiing with clients at nearby Serre Chevalier, Lang found and rescued a snowboarder who had been completely buried in an avalanche-and who wasn't wearing a beacon-in less than 10 minutes.

Judge rules two-thirds vote requirement to raise taxes is unconstitutional
Updated at 12:15 p.m.
King County Superior Court Judge Bruce Heller has ruled the voter-approved requirement that two-thirds of the Legislature approve tax increases is unconstitutional.
The judge's order issued Wednesday morning says the "supermajority vote requirement violates the simple majority provision" of the state Constitution.
The lawsuit was filed last year by two statewide education groups and a dozen Democratic state lawmakers seeking to overturn the two-thirds requirement.
"We won on pretty much every issue," said Rep. Jamie Pedersen, D-Seattle, a plaintiff in the case who is also an attorney. "All of the procedural things that have been the death of previous challenges, we won on every point. On the merits of the case itself, he agreed with all of our arguments."
State Attorney General Rob McKenna sent out a statement saying "we will appeal this decision because we believe these voter-enacted laws are constitutional, and we are determined to defend the will of the voters, just as we defend laws passed by the Legislature."
McKenna is the Republican candidate for governor, running against Democratic challenger Jay Inslee.
The lawsuit argued the supermajority requirement unconstitutionally prevents lawmakers from adequately funding schools and other essential public services.
Targeted by the lawsuit is Initiative 1053, the latest of four voter-approved measures since 1993 that have limited the Legislature's ability to raise taxes. I-1053 requires a two-thirds vote of the House and Senate. Sponsored by Tim Eyman, I-1053 was approved by 64 percent of voters in 2010.

Our approach to diversity education is not for everyone. We endeavor to create a conversation that benefits everyone while intimidating no one. We emphasize the intrinsic link between diversity and leadership and suggest as a solution that our participants take ownership. We reveal the necessity of respect within a diversity context by assessing disrespect. And we unflinchingly examine diversity by examining the notions of responsibility, sanctuary, adversity, hypocrisy, perspective, illusion, "isms," moral obligations, courageous defiance, "phobias," success, influence and humanity.
An examination of diversity through XD is an examination of the sensitivities, cultural competence(s), and desires to succeed of both individuals as well as organizations.
Demonstrate to our participants the significance of diversity in everyone's life.
Reveal the inherent contradiction in a concept of leadership that doesn't include a sophistication about diversity.
Enlighten our participants about the impact of Xenophobia.
Articulate privilege as a universal reality.
Manufacture an environment whereby discussions about diversity are not intimidating, but instead productive and progressive.
Systematically deconstruct the socialization of our participants with insight into how it affects their perspective.

From 2015-2018 Dr. J.W. Wiley served as Chief Diversity Officer at State University of New York (SUNY) - Plattsburgh and a lecturer in Philosophy and Interdisciplinary Studies. Prior to accepting that position from 2000-2015 Dr. Wiley held a joint appointment as the Director for the Center for Diversity, Pluralism, and Inclusion within Academic Affairs at SUNY-Plattsburgh, working with all constituencies to assist with their implementation of strategies and policies for the inclusion of diversity & social justice. J.W. completed his doctorate in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from the University of Vermont in Burlington. His dissertation topic is titled: An Evaluation of Film for Development of Leadership Moments within a Context of Diversity and Social Justice. J.W. also holds a Master of Arts degree in Philosophy from Claremont Graduate School, a Bachelor of Arts degree from Cal State Long Beach in Philosophy and an Associate in Arts degree from Cerritos College in Natural Science.
During a seven year period at Southern California's Claremont Graduate University (CGU) where he completed all the coursework for a Ph.D. in Philosophy and Cultural Studies while a full time graduate student, J.W. also served as Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs, founder and director of the CGU Diversity Office, Director of, the Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Scholars Program (an undergraduate research program); founder and director of the Minority Mentor Program; Special Assistant for Diversity (a position created for him); Chair of the CGU Diversity Task Force, and Director of Recruitment. Under his direction, Claremont Graduate University's McNair Scholars Program was awarded a one million dollar continuation grant. In 1996 J.W. was co-author and co-coordinator of the 8th Annual National Black Graduate Student Conference hosted by Claremont Graduate University which brought over 500 Black students to Claremont's campus.
Dr. Wiley has taught as an adjunct professor of Philosophy at Cerritos College and an adjunct professor of Humanities at Citrus College, both in Southern California. During his current appointment as a lecturer at SUNY-Plattsburgh J.W. has designed three courses that he taught in the Honors Program that allowed him to pass on to his students some of his academic passions. Those courses are 'The Philosophy of W.E.B. DuBois,' 'Philosophy and Film,' and 'Philosophies on Romance, Sex, Love, & Marriage.' J.W. also teaches a general education course called Moral Problems-Societal Dilemmas and a course in African American Studies titled 'African American Culture from 1865 to the Present.' The course he considers the true game changer is 'Examining Diversity through Film' (EDTF) which is a general education course he conceived, co-developed, and co-teaches every semester. EDTF, aside from being a general education course, is both a professional development opportunity for faculty and a student leadership opportunity. The EDTF course is now also being taught at local high schools and will soon be taught at other colleges.
Dr. Wiley lectures, keynotes, or recite at many colleges and universities. He has tremendous success with his interactive presentation titled Diversity Enlightenment, where he educates and explicates the concept of diversity and has taught workshops on Examining Diversity through Film for various clients, both academic and professional. He is enjoying success as a consultant with his company, Xamining Diversity, which allows him to educate and explicate the concept of diversity to various organizations. JW's client list includes Wyeth Pharmaceuticals; Princeton's Jr. Scholars Institute; Norwich University in Vermont; New York State Nursing Association; Excelsior College; PACE University of New York City; University of Vermont; Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital; Paul Smith's College; Clinton Community College; various high schools and middle schools throughout the North Country of New York and Vermont; Homeland Security; Bombardier Corp. in New York City; Girl Scouts of the North Country; Joint Council for Economic Opportunity (JCEO); North Country Legal Services; Northern Adirondack Planned Parenthood; and the Plattsburgh New York Mayor's Office, City Council, and Police Department.
Dr. Wiley has a blog on the largest newspaper in the North Country of New York State, the Press Republican's website titled: Wiley Wandering, where he creates conversations about diversity & social justice. He consulted, co-wrote and co-directed a widely viewed bullying documentary in conjunction with Mountain Lake PBS titled: Dissed-Respect: The Impact of Bullying. J.W. was also prominently featured in the DVD titled: Don't Hate, Appreciate: Diversity which was a study of a diversity initiative at Vermont's Winooski school. Dr. Wiley will also be featured in the soon to be released film Men, Misogyny, and the Future: When Men Challenge Sexism. He is an accomplished writer, lecturer, and poet. He was prominently featured in the book, Brothers of the Academy with his chapter titled: Institutional Ethics, Forty Acres of So-Called Morality and Still No Mule. He was a contributing author to the book Retaining African American Administrators in Higher Education with his chapter titled: African-American Administrators\' Retention: A Subconscious Deluge of Neglect, or Conscious Subterfuge to Reject? He also was a contributing author to the book When Minorities Are Strongly Encouraged To Apply with his chapter titled: Affirmative Actions at PWIs: Explicating the Glass as Half Full by Pouring Something They're More Apt to Taste. He was distinctively featured in the October 28th, 1999 issue of Black Issues in Higher Education, and has recently completed a manuscript titled: Searching Beyond the Rhyme, which is a compilation of poetry and short stories.
Dr. Wiley was reared in southern California's South Central area of Los Angeles. One of four children to a single mom, he survived the streets by a little luck and a lot of literature. As a product of the inner city, J.W. witnessed things that many youth only see on television or in films. Educated in the parochial school system, J.W. discovered early that there was life beyond the streets if one chose to look for it. Prior to his academic career, J.W. worked for three Fortune 100 companies, Hughes Aircraft Co., Rockwell International, and McDonnell Douglas Corp. where he attained the level of Sr. Specialist for the Long Beach, Ca Company. J.W. is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. and has had the poem he wrote immediately after joining the fraternity (Dare to Be and Alpha Man) repeatedly published in the fraternity's national magazine, The Sphinx

What Is Retail Operations?
Every time you enter a retail store, your shopping experience has been extensively planned, from the items you see for sale to the layout and design of the store. Many times these decisions are made by someone working in retail operations, or the area of retail concerned with the day-to-day functions of stores. Schools offering Retail Management degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
About Retail Operations
The field of retail operations concerns the work that individuals do to keep a retail store functioning. This includes both retail salespeople and managers in all types of retail stores, including small stores with only a handful of workers and large chain stores with hundreds of employees. If you're interested in a career in this field, remember that you'll probably need to have strong communication skills and the ability to handle difficult customers. If you're already working in the field and are interested in learning more or advancing, you can visit the website for the National Retail Federation, which provides education resources and retail advocacy information.
Important Facts About Retail Operations
|Key Skills
|Customer service, persistence, interpersonal communication, and selling skills
|Required Education
|Varies by position; typically at least a high school diploma
|On-the-Job Training
|Lasts from a few days to a few months, typically administered by a senior employee
|Similar Occupations
|Customer Service Manager/Representative, Manufacturing Sales Representative, Insurance Sales Agent, Information Clerk
One way you can enter a career in retail operations is as a retail salesperson. In this position, you'd be responsible for helping customers select and purchase merchandise. To be hired as a retail salesperson, you'll probably need a high school diploma, and with experience you could be moved into a supervisor or assistant manager position. If you're interested in management, you may need to hold a bachelor's degree; the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) states that the management trainees whom larger retail stores select usually have a college education (www.bls.gov).
Typical Duties
As a salesperson, you'll show items to customers and explain these items' benefits or features, then complete the necessary financial transaction if the customer decides to make a purchase. Your duties would be greater if you worked in management. You could be responsible for ordering merchandise, pricing items, designing displays, completing inventories, creating financial reports and monitoring staff. As a manager, you might perform all these duties for more than one store, although if you needed assistance with any of these duties, you might delegate them to an assistant manager or store supervisor.
Your pay as a worker in retail operations will vary, depending on the position you hold. Many retail salespeople are paid hourly; the BLS reported that in May 2018, the hourly wages of most salespeople ranged from $8.85-$19.96. Managers and supervisors could make more. In May 2019, PayScale.com showed that most retail operations managers reporting to the website earned between $29,000 and $55,000 annually. In comparison, the BLS found in May 2018 that most retail supervisors earned between $25,720 and $69,290 annually.

The world is experiencing a "negative feedback loop" as commodity prices fall, according to Goldman Sachs.
What's more, this loop is a huge story decades in the making — and there isn't a country on the planet that won't be affected.
Slowing Chinese demand for raw materials has pushed the Bloomberg metals index down 25%. Liquidity is low. Cash is in shorter supply.
This is all part of a global market cycle, Goldman argues, and commodities are getting caught in the violent shuffle.
Three forces are working together to make this happen: a general oversupply of commodities, a strong US dollar, and weak economic growth in emerging-market economies such as Brazil and China.
"Lower commodity prices reinforce the US recovery and dollar appreciation; while weaker commodity currencies keep downward pressure on commodity cost curves (mainly through lower wage and energy costs)," Goldman Sachs analysts said in a note published Friday.
Here's how this whole feedback loop works: reduced Chinese demand for commodities has put downward pressure on prices, helping lower the cost of industrial production and putting more money in the hands of consumers.
That has helped spur economic growth in countries like the US which aren't reliant on the export of commodities. That in turns has led to a stronger dollar, as the market has priced in expectations of a rate rise.
The prospect of higher rates in the US is pushing funding costs for indebted emerging market countries like China upwards. That puts even more pressure on those countries to delever.
Goldman said in the note: "This deflationary impulse leads to stronger US growth and higher rates, and increasing funding costs for EMs, increasing the need to deleverage. This in turn adds more divergence, dollar outperformance, and downward pressure on commodity prices."
China's role in all this can't be overstated. The economy is slowing as the country tries to make a painful transition from an economy based on exports to one based on domestic consumption.
A big part of the economy was driven by the property market, which gobbled up copper and iron ore at a stunning rate.
Now the Chinese government is making overtures at exercising some kind of restraint in the sector.
That has made deflation an issue. China's falling producer price index has analysts worried that corporate margins are thinning dangerously.
The longer this goes on, the harder it will hit commodities prices. That fall in commodity prices will help this keep going on longer.
You know ... like a loop.

The best known marker is the silent E, which changes the sound of the vowel that precedes it. For example? mat - mate. sit – site. cut – cute.
Next is the following R, which usually changes the sound of the preceding vowel. Pronounce the following words: car, farm, charm, her, nerd, perk, shirt, birth, dirt, ford, cord, lord, curl, hurt, murmur, turf. The vowels in these words are special vowel sounds, neither short nor long, but somewhere in between. Similarly, the following L occasionally affects the preceding vowel, as in palm, half, calf.
Next is the CK, which tells us that the preceding vowel is short. Examples are tick, tack, deck, dock, and duck.
Those irritating double consonants are there to remind us that the preceding vowel is short. It's hammer not hamer, slimming not sliming, better not beter, rotten not roten, and cutter not cuter.
Another pronunciation marker is TCH, which also warns us that the preceding vowel is short. Examples include catch, fetch, ditch, botch, and hutch.
Similarly, the DGE is another marker that warns us that the preceding vowel is short. Examples are edge, hedge, badge, ridge, dodge, and nudge.
The letter C is an especially important marker. When it precedes the soft vowels E, I and Y, the C will sound like S: cent, civil, cylinder. When it precedes the hard vowels A, O, and U, the C will sound like K: cat, cocoa, cucumber.
The G is very similar to the C. The vowel after the G allows us, for example, to distinguish between a giraffe and a gazelle. But it has exceptions, like get, finger, gear, girl, give, and begin, all of which are hard G's followed by the soft vowels.
Another G issue is GU, which is to prevent the hard G from turning soft when it is followed by E or I. Is fugue pronounced FYOOG or FYOOJ? (The answer is FYOOG.) Other examples are guarantee, guest guess, guinea, guitar, beguile, and plague. The G in each of these words is a hard G. But note the word catalogue. This word is today often spelled catalog because the UE ending is not needed.
Yes, there are numerous unneeded letters in English spelling, but let us remember that some of those weird spellings are there to help us.

Since not going on a schedule for the past couple of weeks is my main issue lol, I thought to do a funny post about it. Also, share some good tips from my experience on how to avoid being in a situation where you get distracted by other things that aren't on your schedule or ruin it. Also, because I was attempting another way to share funny stuff since my blog is about entertainment, I haven't shared anything on this topic for a while.
By the way, before going into the actual post, I just want to mention that there are many more ideas coming in the future that are already planned but waiting for the right moment, you know. Also, there will be much more content to post on this blog as well because I'm planning to start the travel posts for the first time on here.
Another post: Some of the funny and unexpected things could happen while writing a blog post
Anyways, something that makes us laugh most of the time is when we decide to go on schedule means we are serious and after a little while, everything is ruined by something silly that wasn't on the agenda. Also, another thing, but that isn't funny, which cause our agenda to be ruined is slowing down on doing stuff because of the feeling of low motivation.
Sometimes my friends tell me their schedule and how serious they are following it, which got me worried to a point that they will be so much better than me. After a few minutes, they seem to follow the old habits haha because of the feeling of low motivation or should I say laziness haha. You can't set a schedule without being determined to start what you started because is not enough only to do such a thing like this(just having a schedule).
A couple of days ago, my friend told me that he will start going to the gym because he wants to build his body. However, the day after, some other friends kept taking him out with them to hang out and enjoy some times, and I said to him 'wow, what happened to the gym?' he was like 'haha, I'm just trying to enjoy my life before going into a serious mode and miss on this fun'. I think this is a convenient reason to not start the schedule you want haha.
Talking about myself, I was so determined to go on a schedule and work on myself to a point where my brother said "Oh my.. go easy on yourself, bro" and this didn't last a long time and I ended up playing video games most of my day haha. It's just funny how we be serious about this thing "work on yourself and follow a schedule' but ends up another road haha.
Another post from the blog: Why you might feel discouraged while doing your daily agenda and how to deal with it
Sometimes I can be as serious as possible scheduling everything, and still, there will be something silly that will not make you follow it. However, if you are really determined, I'm sure you will manage to get rid of other things and just focus on everything that needed to be done without the funny convenient reasons that you lie to yourself about it. I can imagine everyone being serious about doing something after they finish a game, but keep saying 'its the last game' for almost an hour haha. I'm not sure if anything will happen when doing this.
Remember that you only have a 24 hour day and everything might not be accomplished by the end of the day, but focusing on the daily stuff and what's important while doing a bit of the long term goals or things is what we need to do if we want to make time for everything. I'm sure we are all really wants to get something done but don't think too much because sometimes nothing will be going as planned and then, it will be a reason for you to feel down. Just make sure that you have another plan in case the first one doesn't work and keep going forward with it.
I once before attempted to set a good schedule for me to work on it a whole week and I was so serious about it but because I have a bad habit of not being able to watch a series for a while and just want to watch an episode after another, everything changed and stopped me from doing it. Later, my cousin asked how I'm doing with my schedule and working on myself, I told him that I haven't done anything but watching haha.
There is so many stuff that really funny when being so serious about having a schedule, but I can't make them in one post. For example, setting an schedule for you that includes going to the gym and you started it, but after a bit, you are not going to the gym anymore because of a silly reason that you made it up which no one is going with you, haha and that's the story of my cousin haha. He literally stopped going to the gym when he was in great progress.
Aside from funny stuff of having a schedule, it's really helpful if you want to be successful in your work and get everything accomplished. I always talk about this because it's so important in our life. I feel like a lost ship without my schedule or at least knowing what I want to get done by the end of the day because it feels like it gives me a clear aim toward something and organizes my day.
I'm going to wrap this post on this point, and I hope it made you laugh as it did for me because this is my favorite type of topics that I really enjoy writing. Also, I hope there was something part of it that is helpful for you. If you enjoyed it, please support me and the blog by subscribing through the subscription box below to get future content on time. Don't forget to share your funny situation of doing a schedule and the wins of it as well. Also, would like to know how managing a schedule is easy for you if you do have one, Have a wonderful Monday.

Let's Get Started is an ambitious action learning project which will run in Co Clare for the next year starting in Nov 2012. This Genio funded project will give the opportunity for a number of individuals with a disability to plan a micro business or social enterprise; drawing on community and family supports in their own area.
The project has three distinct phases;
1. Research worldwide how individuals with a disability, illness or injury are earning an income from enterprising initiatives. Explore using the internet, interesting business ideas and how people are getting their products and services to market. Share this learning in Co Clare and use it to inspire others to try entrepreneurial approaches to get an income.
2. Develop an action learning project for up to 8 individuals to plan and start their own business with support from local networks, community and family supports. Emphasis on experiential learning by doing; developing a business plan and identifying resources that will be needed to make their business idea viable and sustainable for the longer term.
3. Capture learning from the Let's Get Started Project and create materials that will make this option easier for others in the future who would like to get an income and provide a valued service or product. Publish and promote these materials for others to use.
A Project leader will coordinate the work under the guidance of a community based steering group including EmployAbility Clare, Obair Newmarket, Scariff Community Cooperative, Clare Volunteer Centre and advocates.

Session Variable Issues
I have used security assist many times and has always run great. I have built a new site with an area that requires authentication so I used security assist. Login works fine I enter in username and password and it passes me to the correct page however on the page it takes me to I have added a "firstname" session variable that I created from security assist. The problem is that when I am passed to the page it should display "user: Example Name" but it isn't displaying the users name just "user:" any idea why this is happening? It is causing a lot of problems for me. Thanks for any help.
