Happy December, friends!
Lately I've been busy working on my hand lettering skills using my brush pen that I bought back when I was in Japan. When I see other people do it, it always looks so effortless and beautiful – the neat flicks and elegant swishes of the pen never fail to amaze me. The other day I tried it and realised how not-so-easy it was. (You can see my hardcore practising on instagram!)
I'm still trying to master cursive writing using the brush pen, but I find that writing in capital letters is a whole lot easier. So, for today's free download, I've created a simple design of the months of the year!
As always, these are free for personal use only. 🙂
To save the wallpaper, simply tap and hold the image.
{Download the free printable here}
Watch my blog in 2016 to see these cute little fonts again because I'll be making free monthly calendars! Hopefully my lettering skills will evolve by then…
I simply can not believe how quickly the year has gone by! December already? In exactly one month, it will be next year. Crazy!

Lots of people want to get healthy. They want to do better by their body and live longer and all those good things. But too often, they just don't know how to get started! Thankfully, I've put together a list of a few foods that should put you on the right track.
The first food on our list is spinach. Not only is it available pretty much everywhere and year-round but it can be a part of any meal. For breakfast, try putting it in a smoothie! For lunch, slide it on the sandwich as a lettuce replacement (nothing against lettuce). And for dinner, prepare it as a side salad! The possibilities are endless and so are the benefits. Spinach is a rich source of omega-3's and folate; folate can reduce the risk of heart disease, strokes and osteoporosis. It also protects you against age-related sexual issues, so you can enjoy your life as long as possible!
Next on our list is tomatoes! Now, this is the only fruit on our list but it's much more than a sweet treat. Red tomatoes provide the best health benefits by reducing the risk of cancer and certain coronary disease. In order to increase your intake, you don't really have to get too creative because tomato is in a lot of things we use. Just try increasing your usage of those products like tomato paste and ketchup: I know it sounds weird but it really works!
Lastly, we have carrots! Suggested intake is a ½ cup per day which is it much but you get a lot out of it. Carrots contain carotenoids which reduce the risk of cancer and other inflammatory conditions; you can eat them in a lot of ways, including raw as long as they're washed. Try them in a carrot cake!
The great thing about these healthy foods is that you can get very creative with them so look up some recipes, try them out, and let me know which ones are your favorites down below!

National Strikes Affect Major Tourist Landmarks
Visitors to the French capital found themselves shut out of many of the city's best loved attractions followed a national strike protesting President Nicolas Sarkozy's revamp of the pension system. Many of the most important landmarks in Paris were closed this week including the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Musee d'Orsay. The Notre Dame Towers were also closed until 1pm yesterday leaving many tourists disappointed, one visitor stated that "I knew there was a strike, but I assumed that these were important museums for French tourism and those they would be open". Other attractions that affected by the industrial action include the Versailles Palace and the Paris Opera that had to cancel a performance of 'Il Trittico' due to the strikes.
It is not just the main sightseeing spots that are affected by the national strike, tourists were also left to contend with disrupted public transport services including delays on the metro, trains and airplanes. It is reported that the strike is set to continue for another day as 'Labor' unions enter into another day of talks with Sarkozy before voting later today on whether to continue the walkout for another 24 hours. The national railway system will remain disrupted for at least another day as its operators have already voted on another day of action. Half of today's flights to and from Paris Orly Airport and Charles de Galle have been cancelled or delayed, budget airline Ryanair has reported that 250 of their French flights will not be going ahead. Those travelling to Paris in the next few days are advised to keep track of the latest news regarding the strikes before attempting to travel.

The idea of being a good person is often based on morals and ethics, which are often subjective. Practicing compassion is a positive and achievable goal. Learning how to develop compassion is an essential life skill which contributes not just to others' happiness, but also to our own happiness.
Many people struggle with the concept of being "good". This sounds like a worthwhile endeavour for anyone. Though, there is a significant challenge with this. Being a good person is often linked to ethics and morality. Ethics and morality are ideas that are taught to us. We may feel as though we are failing at being good people, as many of us have been subject to indoctrination.
For example, a person who performs charitable work is a good person, right? That would seem to be an appropriate assumption. Though, what if this charity worker was merely performing this work to be viewed as a good person, though her heart was not really in it? Maybe she was taught that good people do charity work. Perhaps, the charity worker ceases to do further charity work, because in the end, she really doesn't get anything out of it, especially when the praise for her "goodness" ceases.
On the other side of coin, imagine that a son fails to call his mother and he knows that his mother would be upset by this. Maybe the son just got busy at work, but he feels guilt and shame over failing to call his mother, resulting in him feeling like he is a bad person. After all, his mother taught him that good sons call their mothers. What if instead of calling his mother, he internalizes his shame and guilt further because he deems himself to have failed at being a good person. Maybe he ends up not calling his mother and distancing himself further from her for some time.
The above scenarios are only a couple of examples of the types of problems that can arise from indoctrination. However, there are bound to be endless complications that stem from indoctrination. The good news is that there is another way to override the perils of indoctrination.
The problem is not so much in the concept of ethics and morality in themselves. The problem lies in the interpretation of what is good and how we apply these concepts in our lives. Perhaps practicing compassion is a more useful approach which may serve to shift the mindset of those struggling to be good people.
Practicing compassion may be more attainable with more fulfilling results. Often, when we struggle to be good people, it is because we are internalizing all the the things we believe we are doing wrong. This is not helpful in our pursuit of goodness. When a person practices compassion, they exercise a true concern for their own well-being, as well as others, in turn, increasing happiness. The Dalai Lama, says
"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." ~ Dalai Lama
Generally, when practicing compassion, the ultimate goal is happiness for ourselves and others. Recall the example of the son who does not call his mother. Imagine that he shifts his perspective to one of compassion. Maybe he will think about how disappointed and sad his mother would get, when he doesn't call her. Rather than internalizing a sense of badness, maybe out of true love and concern for his mother, he will call her and apologize for the delay without feeling guilt and shame. With respect to the charity worker, perhaps she could find an activity that truly speaks to her heart, in turn, be a more loving and generous person when giving her time to others.
When seeking a sense of goodness, it is helpful to develop compassion and to implement a practice of compassion into our lives. There are many ways to develop compassion and several actions that can be taken to practice compassion. To get stated, here are seven ways to develop and practice more compassion in life:
1. Meditate
Meditation is a powerful tool to increase the kindness we show to ourselves and others. Meditation does not need to complicated and lengthy, nor does it have to have a fancy name. We can merely imagine that we are well and that others are well too. Meditation can be performed on a walk to work or while doing the dishes. Meditation can be done in a quiet place with slow deep breathing while visualizing wellness for ourselves and others. Essentially, meditation can be done anywhere. Meditation helps us to not just focus on ourselves but also on others, thus generating more compassion for others and ourselves.
2. Be present
Engaging in more presence in our daily lives has benefits. Take notice of the beauty all around, such as: the sun shining; the rain falling; and, the flowers blooming. When we notice such things, we see that the things around us are interconnected. Noticing people around us and being present with people we spend time with increases our connection to others. When we put down our phones or gadgets and listen attentively to people, we are more present. Engaging in being present helps us to feel connected to our surroundings and others, which naturally increases our compassion.
3. Exercise gratitude
It is important to be grateful for what we have, rather than focusing on what we don't have. If we can be grateful for all things big and small, then our quality of life increases. Whether it be health, a roof over our heads or our families, it is important to be grateful for all of this. Otherwise, we miss all the wonderful things that happen in our lives on a daily basis because we are busy focusing on things we don't have. Gratitude raises our happiness quotient. When we are happy, we have the capability of being more compassionate and when we are more compassionate, we are more happy. It is a win-win situation.
4. Shift perspective
It is natural to believe that what we believe is the ultimate truth, thus causing conflict and reducing empathy for others. When we refuse to budge from our own positions on a particular matter, no amount of evidence to the contrary will change our minds. This refusal to budge becomes a hindrance to compassion. Instead, it would be wise to step back and try to see the situation from another person's point of view. Asking questions and being curious about different standpoints helps us to shift perspective. While we still may not completely stray from our beliefs, at least we will have more understanding of another's point-of-view. We may find the lines between the two perspectives are more blurred and that there are more commonalities than expected. When there are commonalities, there is a gentler interaction and more compassion.
5. Suspend judgment
It is easy to judge our own behaviour and others' behaviour. Realistically speaking, people don't always behave in a manner that we approve of. We could not possibly understand all of the ins-and-outs of why others behave the way they do. Rather than placing shame and blame on others, a more peaceful stance would be to suspend judgment. We do not know the demons other people fight each day. If someone wrongs us, it is rarely about us, but about themselves and their internal struggles. Sometimes it is better to let things be and let go of the outcome. When we step back and suspend judgment, we become more compassionate.
6. Learn to forgive
Forgiveness helps us to let go of past wrongs that keep us from moving forward. Forgiving ourselves and others helps us be more at peace in our lives. We are more open when we forgive others and ourselves, because we don't build up walls as a means of protection. When we are more open, we can interact freely and without censorship. We are less fearful and the quality our relationships are better. When we cease to be stuck in past wrongs, we are more caring, empathetic and compassionate.
7. Be of service to others
Helping others shifts our focus from ourselves to others. When we focus too much on ourselves, it is easy to notice a multitude of problems. Whether we choose to volunteer or help a family member, when we are of service to others, not only do we make another person's life easier, we also gain some perspective. When our focus widens, our perceived problems appear to be less so. We also get the feel-good endorphins when we help others which follows with a more compassionate view of others and our lives.
To conclude, developing and practicing compassion is an achievable endeavour that all of us can integrate into our lives. The key word is 'practice.' To master anything, it requires practice. If practiced bit-by-bit, compassionate actions become easier and more natural over time. If the rewards for practicing compassion include greater happiness, fulfilment and a general sense of goodness, then the practice of compassion may well be the greatest achievement of our lives.

Japanese Puzzle Quilt by Mabry Benson
I made my first Japanese Puzzle quilt in 1993, after my friend Ann spotted it in a Quilters' Newsletter Magazine, and I figured out how it was made.
I later realized that it would be possible to make this with no two pieces the same shape. I collected 2 cubes of red & black fabrics, which got buried in the back of the closet. Last year during 'deep search' those cubes surfaced, and I decided to do the quilt. I got it half done in August:
I almost finished the top this February. I intended to whack off the irregular edge and sew on the border, but found that the edge wasn't in a straight line. It would have been difficult to sew on by machine, so I decided to hand sew it - this from 'the not-a-hand-stitch-in-it' queen.
As you can see I have a ways to go:

Oklahoma Quilts
EBHQ quickly sent 16 quilts to Mission of Love to be delivered to tornado survivors in Oklahoma. Luana Rubins of eQuilter Fabrics helped deliver the quilts and just posted the following on her newsletter:
"Today was one of those days that I will remember for the rest of my life.
Today Sam (my daughter) and I flew to Oklahoma City, went to the Town Hall, starting spreading out some of the 400 donated quilts, and then met the people of Moore, Oklahoma who lost their homes and loved ones.
Then we went on a tour of the tornado's devastation in the town, including the Plaza Towers Elementary School where 7 children died.
I met 2 mothers who had lost a child, and lost their home.
Then we went to a nearby hotel where so many homeless families are waiting endlessly for a place to call home.
Everywhere we went, we personally gave your handmade donated quilts to those who had suffered a grave loss. We also gave a quilt to a young woman who was a first responder, who is still recovering from what she experienced.
We gave a quilt to the first grade teacher who had her kids put all the desks in the corner, and then they played a game crouching under the desks, singing as loud as they could as the tornado screamed towards their school.
When I hugged the 2 mothers who had lost a child, and let them pick out a quilt, I told them that with these quilts comes the love and comfort of 400 quilters who sent us these quilts as soon as they heard we were doing a quilt relief project for Oklahoma.
One woman repeated over and over again - "You have to tell all these quilters thank you for being so generous - for thinking of us and sending these beautiful quilts!" There were many tears to go along with the hugs.
...and this was only for a few hours this afternoon.
Tomorrow we'll be at the Moore City Hall from 9 am to 5 pm, meeting families and hugging every person who receives a quilt made by all of you wonderful quilters.
The outpouring of love from so many of you, is palpable as we spread out all the colorful quilts. I will do my best to transfer this love and caring to every person I meet tomorrow, who has suffered a great loss.
Many thanks to Kathy Price and her co-pilot Karen who drove the truck full of quilts down from Ohio.
My thanks also to EE Schenck and Patty Reed Designs, for the 400 sturdy pink "Hope" tote bags that are being matched up with each donated quilt.
Most of all, my humble thanks to all of you who rushed to send your comfort quilts for the people of Moore, Oklahoma. Your love and caring is an amazing gift of selfless generosity for these families who have lost so much.
Best wishes and Happy sewing,"

- Page 2 Design and Features Review
- Page 3 Performance and Verdict Review
- Page 4 Feature Table Review
- Page 5 Test shots: ISO performance Review
- Page 6 Test shots: Detail and Lens Performance Review
- Page 7 Test shots: Zoom, Contrast and Colour Review
"'A more general selection of test shots are revealed on this page and next to act as an evaluation of the NEX-3 in a variety of shooting conditions with the 16mm and 18-55mm test lenses attached where indicated. Again we've used auto white balance and 'standard' creative style settings."'
A couple of images that show the possibilities with the NEX-3 and standard 18-55mm zoom – the kind of focal range usually provided with an entry level DSLR kit – here at the widest end. We're not getting any obvious wideangle bugbears such as barrel distortion nor softening of corner detail; however there is some modest pixel fringing visible on twigs higher up our foreground tree.
And by contrast here's an example of what's achievable at the telephoto end of the zoom, shooting handheld under near perfect daylight conditions. Again not much to complain about here save for pixel fringing in the same areas.
Here we're fully zoomed in again with the 18-55mm lens on the NEX-3, to check detail. We can see the peeling paint and rusting metal of this gate nicely and colour is spot on.
And by way of comparison here is another close up shot, this time with the 16mm 'pancake' lens attached which has given us a lovely shallow depth of field, highlighting the flowers in the immediate foreground and blurring everything else to provide a magical air whilst directing viewer's attention. This sort of low to the ground shot is also where the angle adjustable LCD comes in handy.
Here's an example of the kind of panoramic achievable with the NEX-3 Sweep Panorama shooting mode, panning left to right and to seamless effect; and if you own a 3D TV you'll be able to opt to shoot and review in three dimensions too. On the camera's back screen, the shot is still viewable, but obviously only in 2D.
Unlike other sites, we thoroughly test every product we review. We use industry standard tests in order to compare features properly. We'll always tell you what we find. We never, ever accept money to review a product. Tell us what you think - send your emails to the Editor.

Paul Domowitch of the Philadelphia Daily News reports Eagles running back LeSean McCoy and his brother LeRon, gave assurances the $2,500 advance he got for an appearance he failed to show up for in northeastern Pennsylvania on March 11 was "ready to be returned.''
The McCoys still haven't returned the advance fee, and Bentley's, the Wilkes-Barre-area nightclub that LeSean stiffed, has been forced to send him a demand letter through their attorney asking once again for their money.
LeRon, who runs the promotion company that set up his brother's March 11 appearance, said last week that "we have reached out to reconcile and will continue.'' That's news to Bentley's, which has been unsuccessfully trying to reach McCoy or one of his representatives for 3 weeks now to get their money back.
McCoy committed to appear at Bentley's for a meet-and-greet and autograph-signing at the nightclub on March 11. According to LeRon McCoy, his brother had a flat tire on the way up to the event.
The nightclub offered to send a car down to pick up the running back. But LeRon said it wasn't big enough to fit both his brother and his brother's personal security. He ended up returning to Philadelphia after tweeting as late as 11 p.m. that he still was intending to make it up there.
"LeSean has always been known for his maturity and good-natured attitude,'' his brother said last week. "The last thing he would do is stiff a club out of money or disappoint fans.
"His image is very important to him. And because he's young, at times he doesn't know the gravity of certain situations. Which is why I take the blame for the whole debacle.''

CIO makeover: Nine questions you should ask
We're not talking about a Brooks Brothers suit. These are the types of skills the 21st century CIO needs in order to thrive.
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- CIO David Cooper is considering going into sales.
Not traditional sales, but the kind of in-house salesmanship, cheerleading and information campaign that helps communicate IT's value throughout an entire organization.
Cooper, CIO at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, Calif., said one thing on his to-do list following last week's Pebble Beach conference, co-sponsored by CIO Decisions and SearchCIO.com, is "to talk about the benefits of IT. Everybody talks about the costs of IT and how it's too big. I think we [CIOs] have to be the person who sells it."
The expectations of CIOs are changing rapidly, said Mark Lutchen, a former CIO and partner with the IT effectiveness practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers, who presented a conference session titled "The DNA of the new CIO."
So, how do you give a CIO a makeover? You do four things, Lutchen said. Report directly to the CEO; achieve better transparency; measure IT performance and business; and surround yourself with a great business team.
In the 1990s, a CIO's necessary skills were more than 75% technology focused, Lutchen said. The remaining skills split evenly between business, leadership and management, organization and culture, and fiscal management. Today, the scope of the job has changed, requiring CIOs of the 21st century to devote equal time and effort to all five subjects.
"The role is starting to move, has moved in some cases, to one that looks more like a general management role," said Lutchen, who wrote the 2004 book "Managing IT as a Business."
"It's got to be in context," said Shawn Wilde, CIO for Trimble Navigation Ltd., a Sunnyvale, Calif.-based manufacturer of global positioning systems devices. "Do you need all the skills of your boss? Absolutely not. That's why he's the boss."
Midmarket CIO career makeovers
Lutchen offered a five-point plan to change a CIO's DNA. First, be honest about the skills you have -- and those you do not. Then, recognize that developing new executive skills happens over time, not at a point in time. A third suggestion is to seek out real opportunities to "walk in the shoes" of business unit leaders. Next, find personal mentors to coach you in your development needs. Finally, flatten your CIO team hierarchy and surround yourself with people who have specific skill sets in areas you may not.
Audience members questioned Lutchen about the best way for CIOs in smaller shops to handle so many different roles. He advised CIOs in that position to form closer partnerships with the executives in the areas where they need help, like HR or marketing, and to plainly ask for help.
James Siebers, CIO for the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority, which has about 20 IT staffers, said Lutchen's presentation prompted him to think about "how you fill all those different roles in the organization, how many do you fill yourself?"
Eventually, the CIO must see him or herself as "CEO of a business called IT," Lutchen said.
Lutchen left attendees with his definition of managing IT as a business: "Applying accepted business, fiscal, budgetary, organizational, marketing, management, investment and performance measurement disciplines within the broader IT environment of a company."

There Are Days
Thought I'd grab a moment to sew a couple of button holes and buttons on some hand towels for my 1 Xmas Item A Month - August and to link up with Anthea for Christmas Through The Year. Now where have I put that large container full of buttons? I've looked everywhere I can think of but I guess they'll turn up when I'm looking for something completely unrelated. Isn't that always the way? I did grab a few moments to do a little more blanket stitching on the tractor and decided I'd just pick up the crochet rug after dinner and do a bit more to it, but sleep won out in the end.
This morning while the sun peeped out behind the clouds, I put some of yesterdays still damp wash out into the sunshine and did the rest of the washing. Happy I've managed to get it all dry before the sunshine disappeared and another shower came across ... the wind helps! More ducking out to help hubby and then some more blanket stitching to finish the tractor, moon and star. I've also ironed on Mr Farmer ready for stitching.
Hanging out for Spring ... it's just around the corner. >^..^<

Ukraine crisis: Is this Cold War Two?
We overdo the talk of turning points and milestones in covering summits, but, when it comes to the G7 at The Hague, it's very hard to see it in any other terms.
Events in Ukraine have profoundly changed Western perceptions towards Russia and it's very hard to envisage any rapid return to business as usual.
Arriving in the Netherlands for this summit, President Barack Obama said the US and Europe were united in imposing sanctions that would bring "significant consequences to the Russian economy".
Michael McFaul, the former US ambassador in Moscow, wrote on Monday morning that President Putin "embraces confrontation with the West… [and] has made a strategic pivot".
Carl Bildt, Sweden's foreign minister, added on Twitter that Mr McFaul's gloomy prognosis was understating the problem since the Russian president was "building on deeply conservative orthodox ideas".
When the people responsible for good East-West relations are saying this, you know that this is no flash in the pan.
So is this Cold War Two or a lesser realignment in world politics?
Much depends on Russian actions during the coming days: an invasion of eastern Ukraine would likely trigger a full-scale trade war, but consolidation of the hold on Crimea, with continued covert support to militant Russian groups in Donetsk or Kharkiv, would pose a trickier dilemma to Western policymakers.
Climate of tension
However, since the Kremlin is not only unlikely to reverse its stance in Crimea but is also now brandishing the possibility of intervention in support of Russians in Moldova or the Baltic republics (members of Nato after all), it is evident that the new climate of tension is not going to be soothed rapidly and may get far worse.
Up to now the public perception of European dependence on Russian trade has led many to assume that meaningful sanctions or a real realignment are unlikely.
But those who hold that view may be under-estimating the degree to which European leaders are already agreeing (so far in private) to harsher measures and the extent to which they feel guilty at not having acted more effectively years ago.
The "targeted measures" enacted so far by the US and EU simply penalise some of Mr Putin's friends and political allies. The Level 3 sanctions already agreed in principle by EU leaders last week target certain Russian enterprises and would take us into genuine trade war territory.
Last week also, the European Commission pledged to step up work to reduce energy dependence on Russia. And it is in this area that European leaders have shown their resentment at having been taken in by Mr Putin before and allowed things to return to normal.
The interruption of Russian gas supplies in 2006 and the 2008 war with Georgia were events that prompted previous pledges to lessen energy dependence.
But back then many privately blamed Georgia for provoking the Russian military and couldn't wait to get back into business with a booming BRIC economy.
Merkel's stance
There is a seriousness now about reducing Russian gas imports further, buttressing Ukraine's ability to do the same, and agreeing further measures in advance of the next Russian move, not after it.
As the Swedish prime minister told Newsnight earlier this month, a trade war will hurt Russia more than it will hurt the EU.
Russia accounts for 7% of European exports, but those coming the other way represent 21% of Russia's trade.
Nobody personifies this sense of wanting to avoid getting taken in again by the Kremlin more than Germany's Chancellor, Angela Merkel. While it is true that German trade remains highly significant in her calculations, her political stance has become noticeably harsher in recent days.
How far all this will go, even without further Russian military action against Ukraine or Moldova, remains unclear.
If the EU's project to reduce its dependence on Russian energy bears fruit, it is possible that the recent growth in trade across the old iron curtain will be reversed.
Other debates will take place among the G7 leaders, in the corridors of the Berlaymont, headquarters of the European Commission, and at Nato: to what extent are previously planned diplomatic engagements with Mr Putin now toxic? How can partnership with Ukraine be strengthened? And does the long slide in European defence spending need to be checked?
Some of these answers are becoming clearer. There will be no G8 summit in Sochi, there could be further steps against President Putin's inner circle, and increased deployments of Nato forces to the Baltic republic will be maintained.
But many uncertainties remain, including, at the most dramatic level, whether further Russian military action might lead to large-scale sanctions, US troop cuts in Europe being reversed, and a new diplomatic ice age.

Competition: Major League Soccer – Sporting KC vs. Philadelphia Union
Venue: Children's Mercy Park – Thursday, July 6 – 20:30 ET (01:30 BST)
Match Odds: Sporting KC 4/7 – Draw 14/5 – Philadelphia 9/2
Sporting Kansas City welcome Philadelphia Union to Children's Mercy Park for their lone meeting of the season on Thursday night. The hosts will look to go into the Gold Cup break with another victory to leave them clear at the top of the Western Conference.
SKC had to settle for a home draw with Portland on Saturday. Many will still feel that was a positive result given the key absentees on international duty.
Peter Vermes knows his team are in a strong position at the midway point of the campaign. He will fully expect his team to continue to set the pace at the top of the West for the remainder of the season.
Sporting Kansas City's impressive home form makes them strong favourites for Thursday's game. They haven't lost at home in MLS for over a year. Defensively, they've only shipped four goals in nine games at Children's Mercy Park this term.
Philadelphia arrive off the back of Saturday's 3-0 win over New England. That victory put them back into a position to challenge for a playoff spot in the East.
However, they still have a lot to work on if they are to be playing postseason soccer this year. Inconsistency has prevented them from building any form, although things have been steadily building since May.
Jim Curtin would love to head back to Philly with at least a point from Thursday's clash. They've only won one of their last eight away games in all competitions. But their record in Kansas City isn't all that bad.
In eight trips to SKC, the Union have lost four, won two and drawn two. Impressively, they've scored on their last five visits, winning as many as they've lost in that time.
Team News
Sporting KC will once again be without key trio Matt Besler, Graham Zusi and Dom Dwyer. All three are with the USMNT for the Gold Cup. Roger Espinoza will miss out as a result of yellow card accumulation.
Maurice Edu, Fabian Herbers and Warren Creavalle all remain out for the Union. Brian Carroll and Richie Marquez are listed as doubts. Alejandro Bedoya is away with the USMNT, while Andre Blake is due to meet up with the Jamaica squad so John McCarthy will take over in goal.
Sporting Kansas City vs Philadelphia Union: Key Points
Sporting KC's form: W/D/D/W/D
Philadelphia Union's form: L/L/L/W/W
Key Stat: Sporting Kansas City are unbeaten at home in MLS for over 13 months. They have gone 18 league games without defeat, winning 13 of those games.
Key Player: Benny Feilhaber – The SKC midfielder made a speedy return from a potentially worrying ankle injury at the weekend. He will now look to lead the hosts to victory with so many key players away with the USMNT.
Sporting Kansas City 1-1 Philadelphia Union – Sporting KC would likely prove too strong for Philadelphia if they were at full strength. But the absences of Besler, Zusi and Dwyer significantly weaken them. The Union will fancy their chances of leaving with a point and that's how we see it going. Score draw.

1. The Staff can be the Key to a Great Relationship.
If you make an appointment and are told you will be meeting with the Chief of Staff or another aide, don't be disappointed. The COS has the legislator's ear, so make him your friend. When you visit, being a local librarian with you. They know the local issues, and they are voters.
2. Do Your Homework.
Find out on which committees your legislator serves. See what bills he/she has introduced. You can find a wealth of information on your state's webpage devoted to the legislature. If you see that they have introduced bills pertaining to autism or veterans' issues, be sure to discuss what services your library offers in those areas.
Many legislators are simply unaware of all of the services that libraries offer and are stunned (and delighted) to hear that we offer downloadable e-books for free, DVD's, and a host of computer classes and fabulous programs. Be sure to mention free services, such as your state's Talking Book & Braille Center and its FREE services, because chances are good that your legislator has a family member who could use those services. So, even though you are there on an "official" visit, it's still appropriate, and helpful, to make a personal connection.
Visit year-round to develop relationships before a crisis develops. Sell the message constantly invite them to events and offer a photo opportunity.
3. (Dysfunctional Cat)
Be sure to tell the legislator everything your library does on the issue near and dear to him/her. Unemployed constituents seek help from their legislators every day, and if you can offer the legislator a place where he can send his constituent for help, you will be golden. If you can recount a story about a customer who came into your library looking for work and describe how the library helped him get an interview or a job, that's the most powerful way to demonstrate your library's importance to the community and the economic recovery.
4. Know the Issues and Count on Your Friends for Help
Call your state library or your state's library association to find out what bills they are supporting. Don't assume that legislators know about your issues inform them. Get endorsements and resolutions supporting libraries from other groups (i.e., Women's Clubs). Don't just invite library directors invite front-line staff who have great stories to tell, or personal relationships with the legislators. They are always happy to be included.
5. Make the Ask and Follow-Through.
Ask for what you want. Be brief and to the point. Emphasize the outcomes. If you request that the legislator support a bill, call back and see if he/she has signed on to the bill or agreed to act as a sponsor. Follow up the visit with a thank you. Work on making this an ongoing relationship send him/her periodic updates about library news that is pertinent to the legislator's interests. Create a "Google Alert" with your legislator's name and congratulate him/her on accomplishments.
These steps can be used when meeting with your Mayor, Board of Freeholders, or any major stakeholder. Familiarize yourself with what they value and relate your library's services to those areas. Maintain relationships with your stakeholders year-round as they are integral to your survival.
6. Keep it Simple
Keep written materials simple: attention spans are short.
7. Plan Ahead
Have an advocacy plan, including handouts, visits, events/rallies, e-mail/postcard campaigns, scripts with talking points, an advocacy website, tips on using media (op-eds, editorials, etc.), spokespersons.
Be professional, be informed and be passionate. Your efforts will pay off.

Consider a linear harmonic oscillator subject to a periodic force:
$$ \ddot x + 2 \beta \dot x + \omega _0 ^2x = f_0\cos \omega t$$
The solution tends to:
$$A \cos (\omega t - \delta)$$
$$A^2=\dfrac{f _0 ^2}{(\omega _0 ^2-\omega ^2)^2+4\beta ^2\omega ^2}$$
The maximum of this function is reached when:
$$\omega ^2 = \omega_0^2-2\beta ^2$$
which is:
$$A^2 _{max}=\dfrac{f_0 ^2}{4\beta ^2\omega_0 ^2-4\beta^4}\approx \dfrac{f_0 ^2}{4 \beta ^2\omega_0 ^2}$$
if $\beta$ is small compared to $\omega _0$.
I need to find the FWHM of $A^2$. I put: $$\dfrac {A_{max}^2}{2}=\dfrac {f_0 ^2}{8 \beta ^2\omega_0 ^2}=^!\dfrac{f _0 ^2}{(\omega _0 ^2-\omega ^2)^2+4\beta ^2\omega ^2}$$
$$\iff (\omega _0 ^2-\omega ^2)^2+4\beta ^2\omega ^2=8\beta^2\omega_0^2$$
My book gives the hint "Is it ok to consider $\omega + \omega _0 \approx 2\omega _0$ or $\omega \approx \omega _0$, it is not ok to consider $\omega - \omega _0 \approx 0$". With this hint it's not hard to find the solution:
$$( \omega - \omega _0)^2(\omega + \omega_0)^2+4\beta^2\omega^2\approx 4\omega _0 ^2[(\omega-\omega_0)^2+\beta^2]$$ $$\therefore (\omega-\omega_0)^2\approx\beta^2\iff\omega=\omega_0 \pm\beta $$ solved. Now my question is: it's pretty clear that the approximation $\omega -\omega _0 \approx 0$ wouldn't work. It is also clear to me that it is not contradictory to assume $\omega \approx \omega _0$ , for we use this approximation for the other term $\beta ^2 \omega ^2 $. Is there a more precise way to see this (i.e. that the approximation $\Delta \omega \approx 0 $ is not correct)??

Today we'd like to introduce you to Anne Shragal.
Anne, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I opened my practice, Breeze Counseling, in 2012 with a specialty in pediatric counseling. I recognized the need to help kids and teens who were struggling with school anxiety. Within a few months, I hired additional therapists to take on the demand of our clientele.
Today, Breeze Counseling helps kids, teens, adults, and couples with personal struggles and mental health concerns. We now have two office locations, Lisle and Oak Park. In January 2017, I launched our online counseling division. Online counseling is an up-and-coming therapy service which provides convenience from the comfort of your home.
Our motto is Making Life Simple. With stressful demands and the need to always be connected, Breeze Counseling implements an easy-going atmosphere. Life does not need to be complicated. We provide counseling services to make life simple.
We're always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we've spoken with enough people to know that it's not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Businesses always have ups and downs. What I learned through the years is that a wall or roadblock does not stop you from moving forward. You find a way to get over it, around it, or through it. A lesson my parents taught me was to always surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you – professionally, financially, intellectually, and spiritually. Always find ways to better yourself, your team, and your business.
So, as you know, we're impressed with Breeze Counseling – tell our readers more, for example what you're most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
We recognize that people of all ages need direction to make their life simple, which is why we offer pediatric, adult, and couples counseling. What sets us apart from the competition is our ability to offer services that our clientele will not find anywhere else.
Our online counseling division is a huge success and one of our most popular services. With a focus on Making Life Simple, it offers convenient counseling from the comfort of your own home.
Additionally, Breeze Counseling is a cannabis-friendly practice. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a qualifying condition through the Illinois Medical Cannabis Program. Many people have been diagnosed with anxiety or depression and do not recognize that they may qualify for PTSD. All of our staff specialize in assessing, diagnosing, and treating PTSD to help those obtain their medical card.
Whether you wish to be seen in person, at one of our office locations, or online, we are here to help.
So, what's next? Any big plans?
I am hoping to expand Breeze Counseling to multiple locations throughout Illinois and eventually in Arizona. We will continue to provide therapeutic counseling services to those in need. Additionally, I recognize the importance to stay at the forefront of research and advocate for mental health. I believe in advancing my practice and improving the brand: Making Life Simple. I know that we will be successful if we continue to recognize the needs of our clients and think outside of the box.

Married at West Wittering Church, followed by a Marquee at home.
"I wanted to thank you for being the best florist I could ask for! From day one you were a dream to work with, listening to all my ideas, being patient with the changes and adding your creative touch. The flowers were so beautiful and I actually miss them! You were so wonderful with all the church issues and just kept so calm the whole time, I really can't thank you enough."

Arlington, VA (PRWEB) October 25, 2012
In recognition of both Crime Prevention and National Cyber Security Awareness Month, the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) and its Celebrate Safe Communities (CSC) initiative joined forces with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to host Crystal City Cybersafety Day Tuesday. The day-long event was held to announce the new partnership and emphasize the importance of cybersafety for local residents, businesses and visitors in the Crystal City, Virginia area.
NCPC President and CEO Ann M. Harkins offered keynote remarks highlighting the increasing importance of crime prevention partnerships at a time of increasing law enforcement budget cuts. Accompanying Harkins was Suzanne Spaulding, Deputy Under Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, who announced NCPC is joining the Stop.Think.Connect. Campaign's National Network. Michael Kortan, Assistant Director of the Office of Public Affairs, Federal Bureau of Investigation, followed Harkins and Spaulding in addressing the crowd, as the FBI has partnered with Celebrate Safe Communities' Cybersafety Week, providing more than 40,000 print and online resources to CSC sites across the nation. Space for the event was provided by Vornado/Charles E. Smith of the Vornado Realty Trust. Photo, courtesy of FBI: http://bit.ly/UDBl3t
The Stop.Think.Connect. Campaign, which launched October 2010, is an initiative of DHS. The new partnership with NCPC will help to promote cyber security awareness to millions of Americans and their neighborhoods via new tools and resources about emerging online threats and the importance of adopting safer online practices.
NCPC's year-round CSC initiative, which was launched in 2008 in partnership with the National Sherriff's Association (NSA) and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), U.S. Department of Justice, is designed to spotlight communities' crime prevention efforts, enhance public awareness of vital crime prevention and safety messages, and recruit year-round support for ongoing prevention activities. The addition of venerable CSC partners like the FBI and DHS ensures an even wider reach to local law enforcement personnel and the public. For more information on Celebrate Safe Communities or to register a local CSC event, please visit: http://www.celebratesafecommunities.org.

I've worked with Cami to build a web-site and I know her personally. You want someone like Cami on your team. As you are building and branding your business it's really important to surround yourself with people who know what they are doing and do great work, like Cami.

I don't even know where to begin... maybe I wish there were 10 stars because Cami makes me look like a TEN in my websites! She is so clear on her consultations, that when it comes to taking what I have in my brain to a virtual reality, its a "no brainer". She is a genius when I am not... which is often in this field.. I am great at what I do and she doesnt expect me to be great at what she does BUT she does have patience and know how to talk, walk me through questions that come up. Class Act!

I've worked on more than a dozen websites with Webcami both as a client (she designed my wife's website) and referral partner (I am a copywriter). Cami always brings my words to life with captivating website designs and customized templates that draw the visitor in and allow them to easily navigate the content. Many web developers just shove the words into templates without thinking about white space and layout. Cami's sites are easy for users to scan the page and find what they're looking for.

Cami stays in touch and keeps me aware of things and potential things dealing with my website.

Cami was really great to work with. She quickly understood what I wanted from my new Website, and throughout the process, she was able to offer suggestions that well-fit the tone & feel I was after. She is super-professional, very patient, and all-together a nice person to work with. I highly recommend her.

CM Plex Softgels
Arthritis relief from pain and improved joint mobility results in a better quality of life for those suffering from arthritis. Joint health is key to wellness. After all, it's difficult to feel healthy when the very act of walking hurts! Keeping your joints strong, agile, and flexible is a priority for people wanting to live life to its fullest. When joints, which are made up of connective tissue, receive natural, effective support, the difference is amazing. Why not begin your road back to an improved quality of life today!
Cetyl myristoleate is known to prevent arthritis in experimental models. CM Plex™ increases flexibility in osteoarthritis patients and reduces pain in inflamed joints.
CM Plex Softgels have been studied in two groups of osteoarthritis patients. The subjects had to do exercises that are considered easy for healthy people, but can be very painful for patients. In both studies patients experienced clear benefits in reduction of discomfort and resulting in improved range-of-motion and joint mobility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Will CM Plex™ lose its effectiveness with continuous use?
A. The bones and joints are active structures, constantly creating new tissue and breaking down old. A healthy, varied diet profoundly affects this ongoing process. As with any other component of our nutrition, CM Plex™ can assist the body at any and all adult stages in life.
Q. Can this product be used by pregnant women or nursing mothers?
A. As with many other nutritional supplements, it is not recommended that a pregnant woman or nursing mother use CM Plex™
Q. Has any human research been done on the ingredients contained in CM Plex™?
A. Yes. In fact, a human clinical study, presented at a major scientific conference in April 2001, demonstrated remarkable effects.
Q. What foods are sources of nutrients that support joint health?
A. Foods high in vitamin C, such as several fruits and vegetables, are important because vitamin C is vital to the body's development of connective tissue and ligaments, skin, bones, and blood vessels. The body cannot make its own vitamin C, so absorbing adequate amounts through diet and supplementation is crucial.

Handy has got the attention of many people looking for cleaning services at an affordable cost, and self-starting entrepreneurs looking to get into the market, or just for people wanting a little extra money on the side. The company has gained a lot of traction as nyctechmommy recently reported its run rate at $52 million, well over 10 times where it was just 3 years ago. It's also become a big investment for venture capital suppliers, having now raised over $50 million in supply capital. Part of this is because Handy's model looks attractive to investors, and because this new phenomena known as a "gig market" is starting to become a popular alternative to traditional employment.
Handy (https://welldressedgeek.me/2016/09/26/handy-com/) works similarly to Uber, the cab-alternative app for those who need a ride somewhere fast. Whenever someone wants to hire someone to clean or perform basic repairs at their house, they can signup for the service and the nearest Handy worker can take the job. Handy workers are considered independent contractors, though there are codes they have to agree to when they apply to use Handy. Handy does due diligence on each contractor to make sure they pass background checks, and are qualified to do the job. It's said that they earn between about $15-$22 an hour, but as with all other independent work there are no guarantees of any work in a given time period. Also, workers have to purchase their own cleaning equipment, but they do get paid weekly.
For customers, this app has worked well because hiring permanent housekeepers, or various home cleaning companies such as carpet and floor cleaning companies can cost a lot of money. Hiring one-time independent contractors through Handy costs far less, and if customers want to signup for recurring cleaning services, they can. Most of the work supplied through Handy is standard household cleaning, though there are a few plumbing and high-maintenance repair technicians that use it.

New Zealand's geologic hazards agency reported this week an ongoing, "silent" earthquake that began in January is still going strong. Though it is releasing the energy equivalent of a 7.0 earthquake, New Zealanders can't feel it because its energy is being released over a long period of time, therefore slow, rather than a few short seconds.
These so-called "slow slip events" are common at subduction zone faults – where an oceanic plate meets a continental plate and dives beneath it. They also occur on continents along strike-slip faults like California's San Andreas, where two plates move horizontally in opposite directions. Occurring close to the surface, in the upper 3-5 kilometers (km) of the fault, this slow, silent movement is referred to as "creep events."
In a study published this week in Nature Geoscience, scientists from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), McGill University, and GNS Science New Zealand provide a new model for understanding the geological source of silent earthquakes, or "creep events" along California's San Andreas fault. The new study shows creep events originate closer to the surface, a much shallower source along the fault.
"The observation that faults creep in different ways at different places and times in the earthquake cycle has been around for 40 years without a mechanical model that can explain this variability," says WHOI geologist and co-author Jeff McGuire. "Creep is a basic feature of how faults work that we now understand better."
Fault creep occurs in shallow portions of the fault and is not considered a seismic event. There are two types of creep. In one form, creep occurs as a continuous stable sliding of unlocked portions of the fault, and can account for approximately 25 millimeters of motion along the fault per year. The other type is called a "creep event," sudden slow movement, lasting only a few hours, and accommodating approximately 3 centimeters of slip per event. Creep events are separated by long intervals of slow continuous creep.

Your big day or special event has arrived and for a variety of reasons, you have decided that you want to cover your tattoo. You have seen the tattoo cover-up kits sold online, but do they really work? What about airbrush makeup? What is the best method to cover a tattoo?Questions to keep in mind when selecting the best method to cover your tattoo:If someone hugs you, will they come in contact with the covered area? Will your clothing come in contact with the covered area? Tattoo LightenerIf you have about seven to ten months and want to lighten your tattoo for the best cover-up, considering using a product like Tattoo Off. Tattoo Off is designed to lighten your tattoo by penetrating your skin and breaking down the ink over time.Camouflage Cosmetics & Tattoo Cover-up KitsThere are a variety of corrective and camouflage cosmetics on the market (e.g. Tattoo Camo, Smart Cover, Dermablend, Cinema Secrets, Ben Nye to name a few) that are designed to be smudge-resistant, water-proof, and non-greasy. These types of camouflage cosmetics are designed to "cover", "conceal", and are often used to create special effects.

Because the makeup is dispensed in micro-fine layers with an airbrush versus a make-up brush or cosmetic sponge, the results appear more natural and sheer.Typically, to achieve optimal tattoo coverage, an alcohol-based or silicone based airbrush make-up is used. My personal favorite airbrush make-up for covering tattoos is Temptu Pro Dura. Dura is widely used for body art, prosthetics, tattoo coloring, and special effects. Temptu Pro Dura combined with the use of their new pro palettes, and matte sealer is a winning combination! These products will ensure that your tattoo area is covered and can withstand hugging and touching! Airbrush make-up is typically best applied by a skilled make-up artist.

According to a latest study, gloss and creams have the tendency to easily smudge and to form in the creases of the eye. They can bring nice highlighted effect at night. So gloss and creams should be use with care. While applying eye shadow colors, always bear in mind that dark shadow will make the eyes recede while a light shadow will make the eyes standout. Thing is to be remember that you should avoid combining strong lip color with intense eye makeup. You certainly don't emphasize more than one feature on your face. Otherwise, people will notice your makeup other than you. Liquid eye liner can give you great effect on the eye but it is very difficult to apply. If you want to make your makeup more convenient, you need to wipe out any excess by the back of your hand. When you have lashes that are small, the best tip is by damping your eye liner brush and by putting tiny amount of powder near the lash. After that you can layer it along the lash line. For short lashes, you must choose lengthening mascara as they consist of fibers that built up on the tip of the lashes. It will help to make your lashes appear fuller and long looking.

When you're a parent, Christmas takes on a different meaning. Now, while Stashlet is still young, it's a time to introduce new family traditions, some things that Mr G and I experienced as children, and maybe some new ones too. Heather has written about a lovely Christmas book tradition that she had as a child and is now planning to introduce to her son, and I think we will add that one to the list too.
Because Mr G is German, we will be celebrating St Nicholas' Day tomorrow and that means tonight lots of children all over mainland Europe have put their boots out for St Nicholas to leave some presents for them. Stashlet has left his wellies outside the front door and we will see what St Nikolaus (the German version) leaves for him tomorrow morning. Perhaps that is a tradition you might like to try.
You can read more about St Nicholas here, and the present giving traditions here and here.

Fiji stun Wales to extend Dragons' winless streak
CARDIFF: Wales slumped to a 16-all draw against Fiji at the Millennium Stadium on Friday as their winless streak extended to six games.
A penalty try awarded after just before the hour mark looked to have proved the difference and Wales looked set to claim a much-needed triumph.
- Australia 32 Italy 14 | Stats | Photos
- New Zealand 38 Ireland 18 | Photos
- Scotland 21 South Africa 17 | Photos
- France 15 Argentina 9 | Photos
- England 26 Samoa 13 | Photos
But Seremaia Bai landed a injury-time penalty to clinch a draw at the death and leave Wales' autumn campaign in tatters after three losses and the visit of New Zealand in a week.
The Dragons have not tasted victory since the 33-10 Six Nations victory over Italy in March and carried the painful memories of their 2007 World Cup exit at the hands of Fiji into the game. On that sunny day in Nantes, Wales were sucked in to playing Fiji at their own game.
In the build-up to the clash all the talk in the Welsh camp was about the importance of securing a triumph and playing intelligent rugby.
But all that went out of the window in a loose and error-strewn encounter as Wales fell into the same trap.
The introduction of four second half replacements for Wales appeared to turn the game and secure a win after Fiji had first surged into a 13-6 half-time lead thanks to Albert Vulivuli.
But Bai's injury-time penalty broke Welsh hearts as Fiji shared the spoils in Cardiff.
Dan Biggar landed the first points of the game with a well-struck penalty just moments after Bai hit the post with an early shot at goal. Biggar added a second on 22 minutes before Matavesi responded, with Bai in the sin-bin for an earlier dangerous tackle.
Wales were the first to threaten with a try when Hook and Bishop combined to put Brew into space. But the powerful wing was tackled just before he could return the ball to Hook to score.
But the South Sea islanders were the first to touch-down thanks to Vulivuli.
Sisa Koyamaibole, who caused Wales so many problems in 2007, made the initial break off the back of a line-out. The big no.8 was eventually hauled down by last week's hero George North and Biggar but the ball was recycled and spread wide to the Racing Metro 92 centre how crashed through Hook to score.
Bai converted to give the visitors a 13-6 lead.
The scores remained the same for ten minutes before Warren Gatland made wholesale changes, introducing four of his big-guns in Bradley Davies, Mike Phillips, Stephen Jones and Tom Shanklin.
They had an almost immediate impact when Lee Byrne looked to have scored. Wales went through several phases attacking the Fijian line before the ball was spread to Byrne. He ignored the unmarked North outside him and looked to have scored only for TMO Daniel Gillet to rule out the effort.
Wales showed their power in the resulting scrum and were awarded a penalty try on 58 minutes after nine scrum resets.
Jones added the extras from in front of the posts to pull his side level at 13-all and just minutes later Jones gave Wales the lead with a simple penalty. But Bai struck with the final kick of the game to earn a draw for the visitors.
Wales 16 (Penalty try; Jones pen, con, Biggar 2 pens) drew with Fiji 16 (Vulivuli try); Bai pen, con, Matavesi 2 pens).
