Look, I'm giving you a heads up here- this probably wont be the most enthralling post you have ever read in your life, in fact- it's probably one of the most frivolous posts ever to be written in the history of mankind. Skim past if you have better things to do (mop the floor, wash your hair, de-lint your dryer)- basically anything that involves any brain stimulation at all. I should seriously consider getting into sales & marketing- I've sold you for sure.
As I sit here drinking my milk coffee looking out at the drizzly rain in Sydney, my mind keeps drifting to travel. Days filled with no set routine, lots of warm sunshine, good food, afternoons by the pool (in my mind I'm eating club sandwiches - note the plural there- with a side of fries and a glass of white wine), wandering through big cities and just being a tourist. Shopping, laughing, carefree fun. I'm craving it more than anything these days.
Last night a random image popped into my mind: it was the look on my husband's face as he came back to his seat on our Virgin flight, bound for the States several months ago. He had accidentally walked in on a lady in the plane's bathroom. On the toilet. In a VERY compromising/revealing position (well obviously if you are sitting on the toilet, right? ). Poor Jason was awkward for a good hour after this rather unfortunate encounter, and not much rattles him. If he could have whipped out a fake moustache, hat and glasses to go incognito, he would have. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if he started to bring some disguises in his carry on bag from now on- it happens to him so regularly these days (imagine trying to explain that one to immigration). Then to make matters even more awkward, she turned up right beside him at the luggage carousel, unaware or simply unfazed by the whole thing (power to her I guess- I would be mortified and wouldn't have left the bathroom until the plane landed). This "unlocked bathroom door phenomenon" seems to happen to my husband very frequently, yet it hasn't happened to me once. Is it really that common that people don't lock the doors when entering a public toilet or is Jason just freakishly unlucky? I would have sworn the big lock saying "VACANT/OCCUPIED" would have been a dead giveaway, but obviously not. And I can't believe I've just written that many ^ words about a toilet lock. Hey, I warned you about this post.
Regarding my next holiday (whenever that may be ). I'm tossing up new versus old destinations. I know we should experience new places- there is something so exciting about landing in a new city you have never experienced before, broadening your horizons etc etc- but on the flip side there is a reason we return to the places we love. Ummmm....because we love them? Wow- how deep & profound- such a revelation! I guess every year we should try to experience one of each- somewhere new and somewhere old that we know we love. Is that what most people do?
Food: one of my other favourite subjects. I have switched to full fat everything. I'm now eating butter for the first time in years, lashings of olive oil wherever possible, handfuls of raw nuts daily. Full fat milk, yoghurt, cheese. Half an avocado every other day. You name it, I'm eating it. And the biggest miracle? No weight gain as yet. It seems strange that I can completely turn my diet around for 4 months and be exactly the same weight- I'm wondering if either a) in some cruel twist of fate, my scales are broken, or b) the low fat food I used to eat was just jam packed with sugar, which converted to fat anyway? Either way, every time I now see a low fat TV commerical I scoff at it like I've somehow de-bunked the biggest diet myth in the world, when in actual fact people have been trying to tell me this for years & years.
Now I'm off to have a hot shower, eat a block of sharp vintage cheese and watch a DVD in front of the heater. The simple pleasures folks, you've got no idea.
Enjoy your weekend!

MFB firefighters were dispatched to the Gabrielle Court home just after 9pm following a series of frantic Triple Zero (000) calls.
It was initially feared that a number of children and pets could be in danger, however, when they arrived, firefighters were relieved to find that everyone had escaped the blaze safely.
Crews from MFB and CFA sprung into action and managed to get the fire under control within 10 minutes.
The home has been severely damaged in the fire and firefighters are making arrangements to rehouse the family of ten who have been displaced.
One man was treated at the scene by paramedics for minor smoke inhalation.
The Australasian Fire and Emergency Services Authority Council (AFAC) recommends monthly testing of smoke alarms to ensure they are working correctly.
Only working Smoke Alarms save lives.

We recently met with potential project partners and sponsors at the Turtle Survival Alliance conference held in New Orleans this month. Interest in this conservation education project is strong and we look forward to working with multiple partners. We also completed two reconnaissance trips to the Midwest and Gulf Coast regions of the United States, with 14 species observed.

Alexandra believes every story has a life of its own with a heartbeat and body and legs. She'll probe for a pulse and check out its shape from every which way, until she feels it and sees it. So be patient with her. She can be exasperating.
Journalism is about the heart and mind of things, to this reporter. Her mother was a poet and artist; her grandmother's family included one relative who printed the first edition of Joseph Smith's Book of Mormon and another who published a newspaper in New York during the bitter news wars of the 19th century.
She came at journalism sideways, after a marriage to a First Nations man whose family are strong aboriginal rights advocates. They insisted she go to university and since she was great at reading and pitiful at math and science, she earned an honours degree in English literature and a bachelor of education at the same time. Then she went to Carleton, got a journalism degree under her belt and landed a job at small daily in Ontario.
Alexandra was so excited about coming to the Winnipeg Free Press, she insisted the editor write her a letter confirming the job offer. Then she packed up her car and her in-laws packed up her furniture. She drove to Winnipeg with her bull mastiff and two cats in 1987.
She figured she'd move back east after five years, but the city's warm heart and its strong aboriginal presence captured her heart and soul.
She was one of the country's longest serving medical reporters, putting in nearly 17 years on the beat and topping it off with Manitoba's baby death inquest. In 1990, Alexandra was nominated for the prestigious Michener Award and won an honourable mention from the Manitoba Human Rights Commission for her medical reporting.
She loves the pace of daily news, can't stand not knowing what's going on and tries her best to keep up with everything. Impossible job. She's a firm advocate of aboriginal news and one of the paper's best-informed journalists on aboriginal issues.
She has a keen love of the land and a deep appreciation for the indigenous roots sunk deep into the soil here. She grows medicinal plants, loves reading, campfires and animals and feeds wild rabbits, squirrels and birds every winter in her backyard.

The Art of Small Talk
Have you ever noticed that some people just seem to be able to carry on a conversation with anyone, and they make you feel comfortable? It's not that they talk about anything important necessarily, but they seem to have a lot to say, nonetheless. These people have mastered the art of "small talk."
Many individuals feel uncomfortable meeting new people because they do not know what to say. They hope that someone else will start a conversation and think of something to keep it going. They may feel lost, awkward, and not know how to get a conversation going or what to talk about. Those "awkward silences" seem deadly.
What is "small talk?" Small talk is informal or casual conversation and helps "break the ice" during awkward moments, or fill in gaps. Small talk consists of talking about "safe subjects". These are topics that are neutral subjects that are not personal and do not offend anyone. Some common topics for small talk include the following:
Most people enjoy music. You can discuss your favorite types of music, concerts you have seen, etc.
For example: "I bought a CD the other day of George Winston. I love piano music. Have you ever heard of him?"
Work is always a great topic and will help you get to know the other person. It is a great way to begin a long conversation.
For example: "Last week was so busy at work, I even worked during the weekend."
Saying something nice to someone about their clothing, jewelry, home, etc. is always a great way to start a conversation.
For example: If you arrive at someone's house for a party, you can give the person a compliment about their home by saying, "You have a beautiful home".
You can ask the person where they are from and a little bit about their background, such as schools they went to, what they studied, etc. Most people love to talk about themselves, so this is always a great conversation topic.
For example: I hear you have done a lot of travelling. What was your favorite place to visit?
. Most American men enjoy talking about their favorite local teams in sports. If you don't know much about sports, you may want to look at it in the newspaper or listen to the news just before your social gathering to learn a little bit about the seasonal sport and some of the team's athletes.
For example: Did you see the game last night? The Red Sox were really playing great.
Everyone enjoys talking about their family. You can begin by asking if he/she has children and how old they are. If you have children of your own, you have something in common and can discuss things your children enjoy doing (i.e., sports at school, instruments, plans for the future, gymnastics, swimming, etc).
For example: How are the kids doing? Are they doing any sports or after school activities this year?
Talking about vacations, trips you've taken, sights you've seen, etc. are great safe subjects to discuss.
For example: How was your trip? I heard you went to Hawaii. That must have been fantastic!
Everyone who drives in a big city has to travel through traffic and everyone hates it. We all hate lots of traffic, so pretty much everyone has this in common.
For example: The traffic this morning was awful; it took me over an hour to get to work. I have to find a new way to get there that doesn't take so much time.
: Discussing the weather is also a safe, comfortable subject.
For example: "It's been so rainy lately, I can't wait until the sun shines again!"
Discuss a recent movie you have seen. Many people are movie-goers, but if you meet someone who isn't, they may still enjoy hearing about it.
For example: Did you see the new movie yet?
If reading is a hobby of yours, you may want to ask the other person if they have read any good books lately. Then, you can talk about one that you have read, what kinds of books you like, etc.
For example: I know you like mystery books, have you read anything by James Patterson?
If you have pets, you may want to talk about them with someone new. It makes a great conversation topic.
For example: I love animals, I've got two dogs. Want to see some pictures?
Parts of a successful conversation
1. Active listening is very important!
Periodically, ask questions and make comments while the person you are talking to is speaking. In this way, you are being a good listener, and it shows you are interested in what they have to say. We call this "active listening." You do not have to ask too many questions or insert too many comments, however. A few will be fine.
Examples of active listening comments and questions include the following:
That's really interesting!
I didn't know that.
I can't believe that.
Wow, that's amazing.
That sounds great.
I've always wanted to do that.
What happened after that?
When did that happen?
How long ago was that?
That's fascinating. I'd love to hear more about that.
Here are some examples of some questions you might ask to get a conversation going:
What do you think about the party?
What do you do for work?
Do you travel?
Where did you go on vacation?
What was your favorite trip?
Do you have children?
What hobbies do you have?
What kind of movies do you like?
Do you have a favorite book?
2. Questions and topics you should avoid.
While there are topics that are safe to talk about, there are also subjects you should avoid. In the American culture, we never want to ask personal questions that might possibly offend someone, especially if we do not know them very well.
Here are some questions you should avoid asking a woman.
How old are you?
How much do you weigh?
Is that your natural hair color?
Are you on a diet?
Here are some questions to avoid in general:
How much money do you earn?
How much did you pay for that?
What religion are you?
What are your political views?
3. Comments you should avoid.
Do not say anything that the other person may find offensive or rude, especially if they are only an acquaintance.
Some examples of what NOT to say include the following:
You look like you've gained weight.
Those clothes don't look good on you.
That color does nothing for you; you'd look better in something brighter.
You have an awful job.
You are obnoxious.
You don't make much money, do you?
I can't believe you are a republican/democrat.
Your clothes are all wrinkled.
That dress makes you look fat.
You're going bald!
Your jewelry looks cheap; I'd never buy anything like that.
4. Match your body language to the speaker's.
Try to use the same body language as the person who is speaking. Body language includes how you stand or sit, your facial expressions, and movements you make.
Look at the following examples:
If the person you are talking to leans in toward you when he/she is speaking, you should lean in a little bit.
If a person smiles when they talk, you should smile, too.
If the person who is speaking has a surprised facial expression with raised eyebrows, you should raise your eyebrows to match.
5. Going beyond small talk
After you make small talk for a little while, there is usually a sharing of ideas and opinions that follows. At that time, you can go into more detail about a topic, discuss your feelings about a specific subject, or talk about more personal things not listed in the "safe topics."
As mentioned earlier, it is best in most cases to avoid discussing such topics as politics and religion, as most people have very strong feelings regarding these two issues. If you know a person very well and feel you can express an opposing point of view without making the other person angry, then that is fine. You be the judge as to which topics are safe and which topics are "hot topics."
Talk about personal subjects at the appropriate time. For example, if you are at a public function, such as a party, concert, restaurant or club, you would probably not want to talk about something personal that might be overheard by others. You may want to save personal topics for when you can talk to a person in private.
6. Take turns in the conversation
A conversation should not be all about one person. There should always be an exchange of information in a conversation. It is the give and take that makes the conversation keep going.
Having said that, there are always people who are very talkative and might tend to dominate a conversation. With these people, you may not have the chance to speak much, you may only be able to make very short comments in active listening. If this happens, then try to let the other person talk; do not try to stop them from talking if they have a lot to say. Be a good listener!
The following are examples of conversations including safe topics. They are hypothetical situations regarding work, hobbies, movies, pets, and talking about a party. Read through them on your own to get an idea about what two people talking might say.
Examples of conversations
Talking about work:
(at a work social party for a company called ABC)
Speaker 1
: Hi, I'm Adam Jones.
Speaker 2:
Hi, I'm Sandy Martin, nice to meet you.
Speaker 1:
Do you work at ABC company?
Speaker 2:
No, I actually work at Anderson Company, I'm an accountant. What do you do?
Speaker 1
: I'm an analyst for ABC. I've been here for about five years now. What do you do?
Speaker 2:
That's great. I'm an analyst as well. Do you like your job?
Speaker 1:
I do like it, but sometimes it gets a little crazy!
Speaker 2:
I know what you mean. It's the same way at my office. I never seem to have enough time to get everything done. I could work 24/7 and still not have enough time to finish my projects. What kinds of things are you working on right now?
Speaker 1:
Lately, I've been working on a big project that involves two departments. We're trying to develop some new strategies for next year. Because its such a big project, we'll be working on it until the end of the year. Hopefully, we'll get some good information that we can use.
Speaker 2:
It sounds like you'll have your hands full for quite a while.,
Talking about hobbies:
Speaker 1:
How are you doing John?
Speaker 2:
I'm fine, and you?
Speaker 1:
Great! I've been trying to get into shape by jogging every day.
Speaker 2:
Really. I didn't know you jogged. How far do you usually go?
Speaker 1:
I started out jogging a mile. Now I'm up to between 3 and 5 miles a day. I feel so much better since I started working out!
Speaker 2:
That's great. I've been trying to get to the gym a few times a week. I play basketball with some guys from work. It's a lot of fun, but I'm not as young as I used to be! Do you have a favorite place you jog?
Speaker 1:
I usually go to the park near my house. There are some great trails there.
Talking about movies:
Speaker 1:
Did you have a good weekend?
Speaker 2:
It was nice, thanks; very relaxing.
Speaker 1:
Did you do anything exciting?
Speaker 2:
My family and I went to a movie on Sunday afternoon. It's one of the few times this month that we've had the chance to go out all together.
Speaker 1:
Sounds nice. What movie did you see?
Speaker 2:
It was called "Wedding Crashers". We were in the mood for a light comedy and this one was pretty good. The kids enjoyed it too. My husband I really enjoy movies, pretty much any kind. It's a nice relaxing time out together, and we both enjoy mysteries, thrillers, comedies and other kinds.
Speaker 1:
I haven't seen Wedding Crashers yet. I like going to the movies, but lately I haven't had time to do much of anything, because I've been working so much. Maybe I'll wait until it comes out on video and rent it. It sounds like a good movie!
Talking about pets
Speaker 1:
Hello, my name is Amy
Speaker 2:
Hi Amy, I'm Jenna.
Speaker 1:
Are you having fun at the party?
Speaker 2:
I think it's great, and you?
Speaker 1:
I'm really having a good time
Speaker 2:
It's nice to be doing something other than working.
Speaker 1:
I know what you mean. I'm either working or taking care of my new puppy.
Speaker 2:
You got a new puppy? I love dogs! What kind did you get?
Speaker 2:
It's a little Yorkshire Terrier, and it only weighs about 2 pounds. It's the cutest thing!
Speaker 1:
What's its name?
Speaker 2:
It's a female, and her name is Amber. The kids named it. She's black and brown and is absolutely adorable. The kids spend every waking moment playing with her. Do you have any pets?
Speaker 1:
I used to have a dog when I was a kid, but we don't have any pets now. Someday I'd love to get a dog though, maybe a big one. I kind of like German shepherds, I think they're good watch dogs.
Speaker 2:
I've heard that, too. My sister used to have a German shepherd and she liked it a lot. I'm more of a small dog person, though. The littler the better!
Speaker 1:
A big dog could eat your little dog for a snack! (laughing)
Speaker 2:
(laughing) I know!
Talking about a party
Speaker 1:
Hi John, how are you?
Speaker 2:
Hi Anne, I'm fine, and you?
Speaker 1:
Great thanks. This is a wonderful party; thanks so much for inviting me.
Speaker 2:
My pleasure. I'm glad you're having a good time.
Speaker 1:
We always look forward to your parties; you are a great hostess!

Greetings from the Huston-Tillotson University Faculty
Friday Sep, 05 2014
Greetings from Faculty, President's Opening Convocation 2014
Katherine Durham Oldmixon, Ph.D., M.F.A.
On the Sacred Work of Learning
It's no wonder to me that Labor Day is the first holiday of the academic year. We pause, one week in, to acknowledge the sanctity, the necessity of work—the work of the hands, of the body, the work of the spirit, and the work of the mind. All work is sacred, because it is how we move forward and transform as individuals and as a people.
Faculty work is so often misunderstood, so often underestimated. What the outsider sees is the proverbial tip of the iceberg—the hours spent in the classroom. What is missed is that great bulk of ice formation that carries us, the hours of research and preparation, of planning and strategizing, of responding and assessing and reflecting. A professor compresses a year's work into nine months, the period of gestation.
And this mystical compression of time is no different for successful students. For what is the key to student success? Work, sacred work. Investment in your own future, in your own education. For every hour you spend in class (alert, prepared and participating), you, the successful student, (and every one of you has the option to be successful, if you so choose) has spent at least three hours – reading your textbook, researching, doing homework, writing papers, studying for quizzes and exams, collaborating and designing projects, meeting with your professors.
Here's the ironic truth: if you're not working—if it comes easy—you're not learning. You're not stretching, you're not growing; you're not challenging yourself or being challenged.
Here is the good news: while we your professors are your primary resources, you are in control of your learning. Do the sacred and ecstatic work of learning, and you will be successful; in fact, you will be transformed. You must invest in yourself, in your education. Even as you juggle a job and a personal life (just as faculty do) you must make education your priority—and you must work for it—not just for your diploma, but for the expansion of your mind, of your spirit, of your whole being.
Many people worked to bring you here—families, communities, historical cultures. You, yourself. Don't rest on your past successes nor on the shoulders of those who believe in you. Rise. And raise up those around you and those coming behind you.
It will not be easy. While your talents and tastes may drive your passions, learning is not about IQ or talent or natural ability. You learn when your knowledge expands in areas previously unfamiliar. You learn when you develop new skills, as well as hone the old. Most importantly learning is about work, sacred work: what we all can do. That's what we're here for.
So, let's get to work.

Rams head coach Jeff Fisher says his players won't be baiting OBJ. We'll believe it when we see it.
The Rams say they won't bait Odell Beckham Jr. Coach Jeff Fisher said the Rams players "have been instructed not to hurt the football team." I don't believe it. That's the kind of 7-9 bullshit the Rams are synonymous with under Fisher and defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.
As for the Giants, Beckham Shea McClellin Jersey says he's ready for the late hits given out by the Rams defensive backs. "You do expect it," Beckham said. "I always say stay ready so you don't have to get ready."
There's a history between the Rams Sherrick McManis Jersey and Beckham. A late hit by the Rams on Beckham started a brawl on the sidelines between the two teams back in 2014.
The Giants-Rams game starts at 9:30 a.m. ET, and you can catch it on the NFL Network or a few places online.
While the other Giants receivers were running routes with quarterback Eli Manning prior to the game, Beckham was working with the training staff. He didn't look comfortable according to Adam Schefter, and spent more time talking to the head coach and general manager.
The question now is just how much Beckham will play and how effective he'll be against the Rams.
Beckham will also have to contend with a Rams defense known for taking some cheap shots and trying to bait players like Beckham. He's said that he's prepared for whatever they bring, and Rams head coach Jeff Fisher has said that they won't bait him. But we'll see.
He's coming off a career game last week where he scored twice and racked up 222 receiving yards against the Ravens. His 581 receiving yards this season rank fifth in the NFL.
Giants sign Robbie Gould to replace Josh Brown. Brown didn't travel with the team to London, but the newly signed Gould did. Meanwhile, the Giants still haven't cut Brown.
The dink and dunk passing game got the Packers offense moving again. Rodgers averaged just over 5.8 yards per attempt on Thursday night against the Bears — 326 yards on 56 attempts — which is a long way from what we're used to seeing from Rodgers. His career average of 7.9 yards per attempt. But it was EXACTLY what the Packers offense needed to get going.
Davante Adams might be the answer to Aaron Rodgers' struggles. Adams helped solve Rodgers' offensive troubles, at least for one night.

Why relocating to Australia is a good investment
May 2, 2017
Relocating is not a decision taken on the spur of the moment. It actually takes time to evaluate the pros and cons of a destination and how moving and settling in another country will impact you and your beloved ones.
Due to its distance from Europe, Australia is one of the countries which generates more doubts on whether or not is a good relocation choice. However, don't get intimidated for this as Australia is a country of opportunities!
Just check some of the advantages of living in "down under"!
1. Increasing your income
Working conditions and income are two of the main factors to consider in a relocation, and Australia will not disappoint you on that. According to OECD Better Life Index, Australians rank 5th among the OECD population regarding their net disposable income. Moreover, Australia was the first country in the world to have the 40 hour work week… so you should not expect bad working conditions at all!
2. Getting away from pollution
With an estimated population of 24 million citizens and a surface of 7,692,024 km2, you can understand why air pollution levels are extremely low, being one of the countries with the lowest air pollution.
3. Traveling to unimaginable destinations
In such a big country, there are plenty of landscapes to explore. With hundreds of unspoiled beaches, deserts, tropical rainforests and even snowy mountains, travelling seems a must and it is something you should definitely do during your expatriate time there.
4. Living in a melting pot
Australia is a multicultural society, with around 28% of the population being born in another country. This is a good advantage for newcomers as it means that you are likely to find a welcoming and supporting environment. And which nationalities are you likely to find? British, New Zealanders and Chinese are in the top three!
5. Enjoying an almost perfect weather
If you are not a friend of the cold environments, Australia should be in your relocation list. With temperate temperatures and a mild weather all the year round, don't expect to wear winter coats, but T-shirts and shorts!
6. Friendly citizens
When searching information about Australia, one of the first things that comes up is that Australia is an easy-going and friendly nation… and it is completely true. Starting a conversation in the bus stop or wishing a nice day to strangers is not something unusual in the country. Australians have a more casual style and a laid-back approach to life…but remember this doesn't allow you to be lazy!

text: 4 Exciting Careers In Sports Steven Doumet April 24, 2013 Options For Careers In Sports While many of the highest paying careers in sports actually involve competing on the field, there are areas of business that relate to athletics that do not require you to be good at running quickly, hitting hard, or keeping your balance. The front offices of professional, college, and amateur sporting teams are more complex than ever. These are careers that demand a high degree of skill in addition to a head for the game. 1. Player Agent In order to command the ten-million dollar salaries and endorsements with major brands, star athletes like LeBron James and Peyton Manning need to have someone who manages the money that they take in, so that they don't need to worry about it. A player agent serves as the direct link between a player and franchise managers or marketing representatives. They will hammer out the details of a huge contract that a player signs as a free agent. The standard fee for an agent is ten percent. This means that agents who have very high-profile clients get a pretty penny for negotiating contracts. To be an agent, it may be necessary to have a law degree (due to the contract work). Often a degree in management or sports business is also acceptable. 2. Kinesiologist The reason that a three-hundred-pound NFL player can run as fast as an Olympic sprinter is because NFL teams invest huge sums of money into the science of exercise. Kinesiologists work to improve the training and practice of players, so every lap around the field and every bench press in the weight room give optimal results. Studying exercise science or biomechanics requires a four-year degree and can include courses on massage therapy, nutrition, and even holistic medicine to keep athletes functioning at a high level. 3. Statistician Nearly every professional sport in North America is undergoing a revolution in statistics. A few decades ago, the standard line of home runs, points, or touchdowns was good enough to determine how good an athlete was or was not. Today, however, athletics has boiled down competition to much finer points. One of the newest careers available for those who are good with numbers is a team statistician, who has the responsibility of singling out areas of performance where players and teams do particularly well. That way, teams can prepare ahead. A baseball statistician, for example, measures how efficiently a team gets on base (as opposed to how many runs they hit), so that the team can use strategies to keep them off base. A hockey statistician will look at shots allowed when a player is on ice, so that the coach will put them on in particular situations. To be a team statistician, it is necessary to have a degree in mathematics, statistics, or sports business. 4. University Athletic Administrator Although none of the athletes under their charge need to be paid (let alone be paid seven and eight-figure salaries), the administrators who run the athletics departments at NCAA schools have a huge amount of responsibility. They have to determine how each individual sport, ranging from football to fencing, is operating according to expectations. The administrators will hire and fire coaches, work with recruiters for high-profile prospects, arrange for game locations and themes, and enforce any rule violations in the event that a player or team breaks the rules. To be an administrator, there are several roads to take. A popular choice is to pursue a degree in sports business or management. Some universities do offer coursework in athletic administration, though this is difficult to find.

Anyone who has done UX work in Asia knows that Asian websites typically feature more visually complex designs, with a greater density of information and interactive elements, than those from America and Europe. Observers have offered a number of explanations for this difference, including a greater cultural need for security and information, higher Internet bandwidth, a less mature UX ecosystem, and more complex urban environments.
Drawing on recent research in experimental psychology, we argue that a tendency in Asian cultures towards more contextually rich and relational processing in comparison to American and European cultures can explain many of these differences. Next, we examine emerging findings that suggest similar cognitive tendencies exist based on religion, region, class, political orientation. We conclude with a summary of best practices for designing user experiences across cultural contexts, emphasizing the importance of local knowledge and user research in the increasingly diverse world of UX.

This is a brilliant dark red rose. I am hoping that this climbing rose will reach the roof but it does not seem to want to grow above 15 feet(5mtrs). Perhaps this is because it is being grown in a container. Nevertheless it flowers several times through the year and the contrast with the white and blue of the house is striking.

Solarpunk Press is up and running! By which I mean the website works and there are two posts on the official blog. (One of them's a recording of me reciting a poem.) Submissions still don't open for another week, and it'll still be over a month before we have the Patreon up, and over a month after that before we publish our first piece of original fiction.
In the meantime, we're going to be doing a lot of preparing and a lot of practicing and we're very, very excited.

Cauldron Bubble (Toil & Trouble #1)
by Wendy Knight
(Fluffy and Light Hearted Read Scale)
Cauldron Bubble is fun and a super easy read. It is about 2 twin sisters who happen to be witches. Potion Witches to be exact. They live with there exiled mother and have nothing to do with the witch world except when their aunt comes and visits and takes their potions to assist with the cause. Their Aunt never shares how she gets them to avoid the coven to figure out where their mother is.
The story starts out with them getting kicked out of another school because they are making love potions. Although most people do not believe that magic is real it still causes an issue and causes expulsion so they end up at another school. That is how they end up Senior year at a new school where Destiny meets Quinn (a son of a warrior witch). She is an expert at Chemistry even better then him which causes him to be jealous. Slowly loathing and attraction ensue.
After an attack and Quinn's mother gets injured by the warlocks Destiny gives him a potion to give to his mother that heals her. This is when Quinn's mom starts thinking they are witches although it is strange because potion witches are extinct only warrior witches remain. (this is the cut off point to avoid spoilers)
Thoughts (this review is based on a fun light hearted read scale)
One thing I do love about Wendy Knight's characters, she knows how to have fun with them. She isn't afraid for them to be human (sort of speak) and have flaws. Also to let them embarrass themselves. Whether it be Faith smoking up the Chem lab or Destiny falling on her face. I also really enjoy the fact that she didn't make Quinn have magic because males cannot be witches (although I worry that might change in Book 2)
Although this book is about the twins it follows Destiny and Quinn. Their chemistry is great. I love how they bicker and how Quinn obsesses like a 14 year old girl about Destiny. Her character is less obvious especially since she really doesn't believe in love. The dynamic between those 2 is great.
Another good dynamic is the fact that families are all so close. It is great to see in a YA novel. Usually you see discord in the family although you have the Aunt no one likes we don't have abusive family, drugs, or so other kind of major issue.
The next book I am hoping has a little more depth though. Also hoping for a different perspective hopefully Faith and Damian (Faith's Boyfriend).
Overall: If you want something deep this is not it. But if you want something very super light this is it. I do love Wendy Knight and her books and look forward to reading the second one in this series.
Audio Thoughts: I had never listened to Lori Prince so was going in blind and for the most part was not disappointed. She kept up with the flow of the characters and made sure each character had their own voice. Although I sometimes had trouble following her and destiny but that also might of been the writing. Overall Lori's voice in comforting and keeps up with the feel of the story.

An Oakland Hills Labyrinth
It is wonderful when a project expands beyond the usual concept of what it takes to create a labyrinth.
I was pleased to once again have the opportunity to work on this with landscape architect John Northmore Robers of John Northmore Roberts & Associates in Berkeley, CA.
This project is set in the Oakland Hills of California on a house atop a ridge-line. The three-tiered backyard is located on a very steep slope.
My clients wanted to create a labyrinth that started on the landing space that is between the first and second levels, and the right and left hemispheres of that second level. In this installation, the contrasting line is actually the path and the empty space surrounding those lines creates this unique design.
Many times, when I start a project, I conceptualize it first by doing a watercolor. This allows me to dig a little deeper into the underlying symbology and themes that may be a part of an installation. For this project, I knew that we had the elements of:
earth- the granite pavers, the slate, and plantings
fire- the fire pit
water- the coy pond
but where was the air?
I found it in my drawing.
Air made itself known in the shape of a crane.
And construction commenced. The crane-shaped labyrinth is on the left side of the second-tier. On the right side, there is a modified Greek Key, that also gives a nod to the decorative borders found in South America. On the landing, there is a triple spiral from Celtic lore. The meandering path connects behind the landing between the two sides with a mandala honoring this family and their "journey of discovery."
The finished gardens and labyrinth are a place of tranquility and peace, providing a connection between the bustle of city life and touching into the quiet solitude of nature.
In the foundation niches between the second and first levels, my clients wanted to honor major religions of the world. They asked me to create a panel depicting the Ancient Iranian God Ahuramazda. I used tiles, clay and gold leaf to create this panel that was hung soon after the garden was completed.

Pay attention - brain activity can improve focus
Nature Neuroscience
February 10, 2015
Real-time monitoring of brain activity can be used to enhance attention, reports a study published online this week in Nature Neuroscience. The results could have important implications in occupational, educational, and clinical settings.
Drifts in attention occur often in our daily lives, and these lapses can lead to lost productivity and accidents. Nicholas Turk-Browne and colleagues examined whether training with neurofeedback (information about the brain's current state) could be used to improve participants' performance in an attention-demanding task. The authors used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to monitor participants' neural activity for signs of lapsed attention during a visual discrimination task where participants were shown composite pictures of superimposed faces and scenes, and asked to focus on one or the other. When real-time monitoring of neural activity indicated that a participant's attention had drifted, the task was made more difficult. The authors found that the participants used this feedback to improve their performance after only one training session.
This study suggests that a person's neural activity, particularly from brain regions linked to attention, can be converted into useful feedback signals to help maintain focus and improve performance in situations that demand attention.

Gold Standard Fallacies
August 19, 2007
People's understanding of gold standard systems is not very good — and that applies to advocates as well as detractors. This week we'll make a list of what a gold standard is not.
In short, a gold standard is a system which connects the value of money with the value of gold. The simplest way to do this is to make coins out of gold, which trade at their full commodity value. But that is a very archaic approach, and not well suited to today's world. A basic problem over the last few centuries has been the fact that economies' need for base money (essentially paper bills) has grown faster than the world supply of gold, which has increased by about 2% per annum. Even that 2% growth rate has fallen off in the past few years. Base money demand has tended to increase along with gross domestic product, and even if we adjust for inflation that figure tends to work out to 3%-4% per annum.
A few people have made some funny arguments that the world's gold supply would suffice to serve as money, but their arguments tend to boil down to an idea that the economy should be shrunk to fit the gold supply. Typically this takes the form of some post-disaster scenario where gold becomes very valuable in relation to goods and services and labor, which is another way of saying that people are very poor. "We can have a gold standard as long as everyone stays poor." OK, that's exactly what people want to hear.
Beginning in the 19th century, there has been a steady process of "economizing on gold," which has taken the form of the use of paper money linked to gold, rather than a 100% metallic currency of full-weight coins. We can create paper money in any amount, and as long as its value is linked to gold, it functions as well as gold bullion coins — better, actually, since paper money doesn't "wear down" and isn't at risk of clipping like bullion coins are. Some people take offence at that "as long as it's value is linked to gold" phrase, as that condition has never been permanent. You have to trust the government. In practice, you have to trust the government anyway. Even if all commerce was done in bullion coins, the government could make bullion coins illegal and force everyone to use paper money. This is exactly what happened in 1933, and if it could happen in the US it could happen anywhere.
So, we see that if we link the value of paper money to gold, via a system of supply adjustment, then paper money's value will be as stable as gold's value. This makes a very good money, which is why people have used gold-based monetary systems for thousands of years with consistently good results.
That's it. The purpose of a gold standard is to produce a currency of stable value.
1) A gold standard does not inhibit government deficit financing. On the contrary, a gold standard makes it easier for a government to issue debt! Under an established gold standard, yields on government debt are typically in the neighborhood of 3.0% — not just for a week, but for decades at a stretch. With such low financing costs, governments can issue lots of debt, if they want to. It is true that a gold standard prevents printing-press financing of government deficits. However, only the shoddiest government indulge in that, and if such a government was on a gold standard, it would soon leave it.
2) A gold standard does not create "balanced trade." You'll find this one in most college textbooks. It's totally false. A gold standard in fact facilitates international capital flows, which today go by the confusing name of a "current account imbalance." A "current account imbalance" basically means that, on net, people in Germany, for example, are offering goods and services and receiving financial assets, typically debt assets, in return. Why would they take these debt assets? One problem with receiving debt assets in trade for goods and services is that you have business and counterparty risk. If you receive goods and services in trade for your goods and services ("balanced trade"), then you have no further relationship with your trading partner. However, if you take bonds instead, then you have a relationship that lasts until the maturity of the bond. Naturally, you want these relationships to be as trustworthy and reliable as possible. When your bonds are denominated in a gold-linked currency, your debt relationship becomes more trustworthy and reliable. Thus, the "export" of bonds (which is really the net import of capital, i.e. goods and services) is facilitated by a gold standard. This would mean potentially a larger "current account imbalance."
3) Under a gold standard, the amount of gold held by monetary authorities is largely irrelevant, as long as the currency is being properly managed. Let's say a central bank has issued $100m of gold-linked notes, and has a reserve of $10m of gold. At $100/oz., that would be 100,000 ounces of gold. A gold standard is a value peg. The number of banknotes issued derives from the operation of the peg. In other words, the issuer has issued $100m of notes because that is the supply that balanced demand at a value of $100/oz. If the supply was too much, then the value of the banknotes would drop below $100/oz. to perhaps $110/oz. If the supply was too little, then the value of banknotes would rise perhaps to $90/oz. Since the issuer is properly managing the currency, it adjusts supply so that it hits its target of $100/oz., and it just so happens that this results in a supply of $100m. If the central bank deems it worthy to increase its reserve to 200,000 ounces of gold, it would not then go out and increase the number of banknotes to $200m. No No No. It would have $100m of banknotes and 200,000 oz. of gold. And if the issuer then reduced its gold holdings to 100,000 oz. or 20,000 oz. or zero, the supply of currency, and their gold value, would not change. It would remain $100m. Alongside this, we can see that moving gold from place to place is also largely irrelevant, since that does not change gold's value. Also, we can see that it is not necessary for the currency-managing entity to hold any gold at all, as long as it properly manages the supply of currency such that the currency's value is solidly linked to gold.
4) A gold standard does not inhibit "fractional reserve banking" or any other financial process. You can do everything with gold-linked money that you can do with a fiat-currency money — including all sorts of stupid things. All of today's financial processes would work in much the same way, with a gold standard, as they do today. Linking a currency to gold stabilizes its value. That's all it does. But that's important!
5) A gold standard does not cause panics, crashes, etc. A gold standard creates stable money. I know of no negative economic event that was caused by stable money. Certainly there are all sorts of bad things that can happen to economies, even when their money is stable. To that we can add innumerable horrible things that can happen when one departs from stable money. For some reason, when a government leaves the gold standard, has a disaster, and then returns to the gold standard, this is sometimes regarded as a problem "under the gold standard." Whatever. Sometimes, when one country leaves gold and devalues, that has consequences (especially trade consequences) for countries that remain on a gold standard. I would call this a problem caused by leaving the gold standard. Has there ever been a situation where gold itself has been so unstable in value — in turn leading to instability in value of currencies linked to gold — that it caused some major economic event? I can find no such example, although others have made that argument. I've looked at them, and I don't find them very convincing.

I reread The Case For Gold, by Ron Paul and Lewis Lehrman in 1982. This represented their arguments before the 1981 Congressional Gold Commission. When I read it before, about seven years ago, my impression is that it was heavily colored by "pure gold standard" ideology, and thus not a very practical solution. Today, I don't see anything particularly outlandish about it, and indeed it seems a fine piece of work. This is not to say I agree with the "pure gold standard" types, just that the book is much more even-handed than I remember. Ron and Lewis did a wonderful job back in the day, against considerable intellectual opposition. The historical segments of the book, which make up most of it, are especially worthwhile.

Become a Volunteer
Weinstein Hospice volunteers are essential and valued members of the interdisciplinary hospice team.
Volunteers are an integral part of the hospice team, filling roles that range from direct contact with patients to providing clerical and phone call support for the organization. Hospices that participate with Medicare are required to utilize volunteers alongside their paid clinical and administrative staff. Hospice volunteers describe their work as gratifying, intellectually stimulating, and emotionally meaningful. Hospices require a lot from their volunteers and value them greatly.
We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.

Support for patients. This can include visiting, reading, taking walks, writing letters, interpreting for those who do not speak English, bringing in music, and supervising therapeutic visits with pets. Volunteers with necessary certification can also provide massage therapy. Some hospices also utilize volunteers who offer complementary therapies such as aroma therapy or therapeutic touch.
Respite and support for family members. Volunteers can assist with shopping or light household maintenance, or allow family caregivers the opportunity to take care of necessary errands, exercise, or simply have some time alone. Volunteers can also help care for a family pet.
Child care assistance. This can include help with babysitting, picking up children from school or providing necessary transportation to club meetings or sporting events and practices.
Bereavement support programs. Hospice volunteers can work closely with the hospice's bereavement staff. Duties may include assisting a support group facilitator, serving refreshments, or helping with mailings to families.
Fundraising and administrative work. A volunteer with clerical skills can serve a hospice by helping in the office with administrative duties. Fundraising responsibilities can range from preparing mailings or thank-you letters to organizing fundraising events and contacting potential donors.
Special skills and interests. Many hospices utilize volunteers to maintain their grounds and landscaping. Notaries, barbers and beauticians often volunteer their services to patients. Musicians often volunteer to play at hospice inpatient facilities.

Artfest Kingston~ Booth Y20
Potter Adam Beales creates functional, handmade pottery under the name "Wabi-Sabi Pottery", which is inspired by the Japanese philosophy that celebrates the inherent beauty in hand made objects.
Originating from Gloucestershire UK, Adam began his pottery career over 8 years ago. His style combines traditional English craftsmanship with nods to various Eastern influences including his personal favorite, Tang Dynasty ceramics.
Working mainly in stoneware, Adam focuses on strong, functional forms decorated with layered glazes and simple handmade designs. Adam's range includes lidded storage jars, vases, bowls, mugs and teapots.
What is unique about your work?
Adam's work focuses on strong form and function; continually "pushing" the clay to achieve desired forms: the bulbous volume of a storage jar, the refined curves of a bowl, and lightweight, well balanced teapots are just a few signature pieces.
What are you most excited about this year?
Adam has been developing some new finishes including copper reds and green ash glazes which will further enhance some of his larger showpieces as well as his "dribble-free" teapots and mugs, his most popular items!

The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) released their second statement in the last couple of months saying that they are "appalled" by Donald Trump's politics against radical Islamic extremists.
The ICNA called Trump out for issuing what they deem "Islamophobic statements," calling them "preposterous, xenophobic, and borderline-fascist."
Last month, the group issued a statement against Trump's campaign in general saying his "racist, bigoted politics of division will separate Americans rather than focusing on the immense challenges facing our nation."
This all seems pretty rich considering the ICNA most recently appeared in stories involving the San Bernardino terrorists. The terrorist couple and their mother had stickers and certificates of appreciation for membership in the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) in New York.
Trending: Hockey Legend Don Cherry Fights Back After Being Fired For Pro-Veteran Comments
The group's ties to terrorism don't end with San Bernardino either. They have known ties to terrorist organizations, and have seen members and speakers which have included Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical preacher who had significant ties with three of the 9/11 hijackers.
The Islamic Circle of North America has also been promoting a program called WhyIslam, a billboard campaign to 'reclaim the message of Islam' after it had been tainted by events such as those in Paris.
The WhyIslam campaign however, has controversy of its own. The group's former chair, Amir Mertaban, referred to Hamas terrorists as freedom fighters who have 'done a lot of good' in Palestine, refusing to denounce the group.
In 2008, WhyIslam ran a series of Muslim subway ads, promoted by a Brooklyn imam whom federal officials had linked to a plot to blow up city landmarks. That Brooklyn imam is Siraj Wahhaj, the unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
The WhyIslam message is run under the umbrella of the ICNA, which promotes some very controversial ideas by some very controversial individuals. Various reports show that the ICNA has a prolific resume, including:
- Supporting the imposition of sharia law.
- Having ties to the terrorist organization, Hamas.
- Demonstrating deep ties to the fundamentalist Pakistani political party, Jamaat-e-Islami.
- Ran a series of Islamic subway ads in 2008, promoted by Wahhaj, whom federal officials had already linked to a plot to blow up city landmarks.
- Maintaining close ties to international groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, whose motto reads: Allah is our objective; the Prophet is our leader; the Quran is our law; Jihad is our way; dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.
- Presenting Anwar al-Awlaki as a guest speaker alongside Wahhaj at a co-sponsored convention. Awlaki had been connected with three of the 9/11 hijackers, and had praised the murderous rampage by the Fort Hood shooter that took 14 lives, and the failed attempt by the Christmas Day bomber to kill 278 innocent people.
It should be noted that the ICNA released a statement denouncing Awlaki's views – nearly eight years later – but noting that at the time of his appearance, he had not been accused of any extremist ties, and that he had only started making radical lectures after being detained in 2007.
This is, of course, a flat-out falsehood. In fact, here's a bit of what was already known regarding Awlaki at the time of his ICNA appearance:
- In 1996, he encouraged a student at his mosque to fight jihad, prompting an elder to confront him, eventually leading to his departure.
- In 1998 and 1999, served as Vice President of a charity founded by Abdul Majeed al-Zindani, an associate of Osama bin Laden and a man designated by the U.S. government as a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist'.
- The F.B.I. first took notice of Awlaki in 1999 based on his relationship with militants and his role in running a 'front organization to funnel money to terrorists'.
- The 9/11 Commission had shown that F.B.I. investigators were divided over Awlaki's involvement in the terrorist attacks, but had expressed concern over his role as spiritual advisor to two of the hijackers, with one detective saying he believed Awlaki 'was at the center of the 9/11 story'.
Awlaki, who had inspired many to acts of Islamic terror, was killed in an American drone strike in 2011.
Here is some more background reading about the key players at the ICNA.
It took the ICNA eight years to issue statements denouncing radical terrorist mentor Anwar al-Awlaki. For Trump, they issue statements persistently and immediately.

A. By law in the widest sense is understood that precise guide, rule, or authoritative common by which a becoming is moved to action or held back from it. In this sense we speak of law even in reference to creatures that are incapable of considering or willing and to inanimate matter. If a TTTT closes, that dean does not get his/her 300K salary plus positive aspects, and would in fact have to-EGADS!-practice law. Also, great luck finding a law firm that will pay you to take sabbaticals, so that you can write pointless law assessment articles. Also, getting a graduate, terminal degree, I'm not positive a law college has the very same duty that say a juco, college, and so on. These days I did study with some interest the extended write-up in the Chronicle of Larger Education about UF Law. The law school is announcing the donation Thursday along with news that it is renaming itself soon after the donors' late matriarch, Elisabeth Haub, a philanthropist and businesswoman who championed environmental causes.
There are 36 far more students in this year's 1L class, and that counts as good news since it's the initial time these numbers have gone up considering that 2010 — when the influence of the Great Recession began to take its toll on law schools. It really is hard to uncover a a lot more brutal statement of market reality than that one: the glut of lawyers produced by law schools is permitting law firms to hire those graduates on increasingly contingent and unattractive terms. This fall, the ABA placed the Charlotte School of Law on probation, but it remains an accredited law school. She says following she and Nadine separated she tried to get visitation but was told that New York law. Our electives give you expertise in regions like international advocacy, clinical legal education, mediation and negotiation.
It does not constitute legal guidance, and is not intended to develop an attorney-client connection. The argument that Millsaps need to acquire the college revolves around prestige alone, which is useless. Family law covers marriage and divorce proceedings, the rights of youngsters and rights to property and income in the occasion of separation. According to Kolberg most people attain this stage but then again I doubt Kolberg ever served on the Titanic or on a law faculty or at least some law faculties. In Cyprus, the proof of details in a legal proceeding is regulated by the 'Evidence Law' (Cap. It's via affirmations that you can continue to strengthen the bonds of the Law of Attraction. Combine studies in accounting, economics, finance, management and advertising and marketing with the thorough understanding of the law you need for legal practice in this double degree. If logic like that gets you the dean's job, it really is no surprise that MC law students are obtaining trouble with the bar.
Law electives are accessible in intensive delivery mode at the Melbourne Campus in Summer and Winter School. Nevertheless, you should keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of new law graduates do not start their careers in huge firms. But although the circumstance is greater, it is still the case that far as well many people are paying far also much to go to law school.
U Mass Dartmouth rose like a phoenix (the University of Phoenix?) from the ashes of an entity referred to as the Southern New England School of Law, which dumped its ass(ets) onto the state in 2010. At its peak, the school had 600 students, she said, and while the quantity of students at law schools nationwide has been dropping for 40 years, the decline became precipitous with the recession many years ago.
