For a lot of Australians superannuation can be an individual's largest asset, the idea of losing it when filing for bankruptcy is a very real concern for the majority of our customers. With certain parts of the economy doing relatively well and other aspects experiencing tough economic times, bankruptcy numbers in Australia still continue to increase. Economists don't discuss Australia's two-speed economy much anymore, but it definitely still is two-speed. As a result of a long-term boom in the Sydney and Melbourne housing markets, these major centres are doing quite well running at a nice speed, with no sign of stopping anytime soon. Nonetheless mining areas in North Queensland and Western Australia have nearly stopped dead and in some areas firmly stuck in reverse.
The Past: Superannuation and bankruptcy. Not very long ago, the Bankruptcy Act 1966 determined that all property (including superannuation) that belonged to a bankrupt at the start of their bankruptcy was to be handed over to their creditors. This raised the question: was there an interest in a superannuation fund property? The law specifically answered this question with a dubitable no – the interest of a bankrupt in a regulated superannuation fund was not property divisible among creditors. Nevertheless, this protection of superannuation was not set in stone. In 2007 the laws changed, at that time the excess of a bankruptcy's interest in a superannuation fund that exceeded the pension 'reasonable benefit limit' or (RBL) did constitute property that was divisible among creditors.
Post 2007 we have 'Simpler Super'. The simpler super changes indicated a substantial change for superannuation and bankruptcy. The main change was, put simply, your superannuation is safe over and above the pension RBL amount. This implies that protection of superannuation upon bankruptcy is now absolute, technically, a bankrupt can now have a huge amount of super and it will be safe. The government formally described the changes through its explanatory memorandum, Superannuation Legislation Amendment (Simplification) Bill 2007, as follows:
Currently, under the Bankruptcy Act 1966, a bankrupt's interest in a superannuation fund up to the bankrupt's pension RBL is protected from being divisible among creditors. A bankrupt's superannuation interest in excess of the pension RBL automatically vests in the bankruptcy trustee. The amendments remove references to RBLs from the Bankruptcy Act 1966 to ensure consistency with the new Simplified Superannuation rules, which abolish RBLs with effect from 1 July 2007. This means that, from 1 July 2007, a bankrupt's entire interest in a superannuation fund is protected, if you know what you are doing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Does this mean that I can voluntarily contribute excess funds to my superannuation before I declare bankruptcy and it will be safe?
Answer: No. Even though these changes safeguard your superannuation, 100% voluntary contributions above your employers required 9.5% will be seen as an asset and obtainable to creditors since it will be deemed a preference payment. In short, if you sell your house and make $50,000 profit from doing so, then shovel it off into your super fund, the trustee will consider that as a preference payment, or in plain English you paid your super fund $50,000 in preference to your creditors, so the trustee will claw back that excess from the fund, and allocate it towards your debts.
Question: What about my Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF), is it also safe?
Answer: Yes. But there are things you will want to do once you are bankrupt; In the case of a self-managed super fund and bankruptcy, take note that the Superannuation Industry Supervision Act 1993 rules that a "disqualified person" must not be a trustee of a superannuation entity. Essentially, if you are bankrupt you can no longer be a trustee of any trust including a super fund. A disqualified person includes a person who is an insolvent under administration, such as an undischarged bankrupt.
Ideally this means if you have a SMSF, you must retire or resign as the trustee, or director of the corporate trustee, prior to becoming bankrupt or within six months after filing for bankruptcy. Failure to do so can lead to imprisonment for up to 2 years. As soon as the person resigns/retires, the SMSF will likely fail to fulfill the basic conditions necessary to be an SMSF and will request a restructure.
Restructuring can include transferring the bankrupt's superannuation interests to a regulated superannuation fund followed by terminating the SMSF. Or you can delegate a registrable superannuation entity (RSE) licensee to act as trustee of the SMSF, whereupon the fund would stop being an SMSF and would turn into another kind of superannuation fund. Although RSE licensees can be pricey, this is advantageous where the fund has 'lumpy' non-liquid assets (especially property) that can not easily be rolled into another superannuation fund. Normally, a person who holds an enduring power of attorney in respect of a member can act as trustee of the SMSF instead of the member.
Question: I'm old enough to draw down my super, are all my payments to myself safe irrespective of how much?
Answer: Be careful here, this could seriously cost you! Based on the discussion above, an interest in a superannuation fund is totally protected upon bankruptcy. The same applies to any lump sum obtained from a superannuation fund based on the Bankruptcy Act. So as an example, you as a bankrupt who accepts a lump sum of $10 million from your superannuation fund could keep that money and it will be safe. Nevertheless be warned the same is not true of pension payments received from superannuation funds. They are not protected in a similar way. Pension payments are treated as income and income only receives minimal protection from creditors. The particular level of protection afforded to pension payments is adjusted for inflation twice a year, but as at 22 February 2017, the level is as follows:
Dependants Income Limit
0 $54,736.50.
1 $64,589.07.
2 $69,515.36.
3 $72,252.18.
4 $73,346.91.
over 4 $74,441.00.
No matter what you earn over these amounts each year, 50% of the excess is payable to the trustee the same as any income earned during bankruptcy and paid to creditors.
The difference in the treatment between lump sums and pensions has important practical implications now that account-based pensions have been introduced; don't assume it's all safe and no matter what you do, get the right advice. At this point we recommend you to call us and we will point you in the right direction. Put simply, your super needs to be handled with care. Every case has a unique set of circumstances and between our firm and your financial advisor, we will secure the right outcome for you.

Rogue One Teaser 1
Okay, it's not ministry related, but it's my blog so I can share what I like. And can I just say, I am a bit giddy for this. The Star Wars people have released the first official teaser for the upcoming, Rogue One, movie slated for a December 2016 release. Check it out here!
So it's no secret, I am a Star Wars geek. Despite the similarities on episode 4 and episode 7, I still loved Force Awakens. Just seeing the story from long ago in a galaxy far, far away, played out on the big screen is amazing. I love it. The good and the bad.
When I heard that episodes 7, 8, and 9 were coming to the theaters, I was pretty excited. But to learn that there are two other storylines in the works, well...
I know it's just a teaser, but I so excited to see another aspect of the Star Wars story told. With so many amazing characters and storylines, there are literally hundreds of possible spin offs and side projects. I am anxious to see how this adds to the overall story of the Rebels and their fight against the Empire.
Can't wait till December.

Is Coffee Bad for Kidneys?
Many believe coffee causes conditions such as sleeplessness, high blood pressure and diabetes. Along with these conditions, the Centers for Disease Control reported 4.5 million new cases of kidney disease in 2009 alone, and some researchers wondered if there was a connection with coffee consumption.
Many believe coffee causes conditions such as sleeplessness, high blood pressure and diabetes. Along with these conditions, the Centers for Disease Control reported 4.5 million new cases of kidney disease in 2009 alone, and some researchers wondered if there was a connection with coffee consumption 1. Scientists now believe coffee may have some health benefits due to the antioxidants it contains, and it may not contribute to kidney disease after all.
A review of 13 studies involving almost 800,000 adults investigated whether there were associations between coffee, tea, milk, soda or fruit and vegetable juice consumption and cancer of the kidneys. A follow-up of seven to 20 years across studies, published in the "International Journal of Cancer" in November 2007, found that people who consumed three or more 8 oz. cups of coffee per day were 16 percent less likely to develop kidney cancer than those who averaged less than a cup per day.
Glomeruler Filtration Rate
Glomerular filtration rate, or GFR, is the best test to measure your level of kidney function and determine if you have kidney disease and the staging of the disease. A higher GFR is associated with an increased risk for kidney disease. A study published in January 2010 in the "British Journal of Nutrition" found that habitual coffee consumption of one or more cups of coffee per day was associated with increased levels of GFR 6. The researchers weren't able to definitively link coffee consumption to kidney disease, however, and recommended further research into these effects.
Kidney Stones
A kidney stone is a hard mass developed from crystals within your urinary tract that can be quite painful. Diet may play a contributing role in kidney stone development. Researchers at Harvard published results of a study in 1996 in the "American Journal of Epidemiology" that found for each daily 8-oz 3. serving of either caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee there was a 10 percent decrease in the risk for development kidney stones. A study in a 2004 issue of "The Journal of Urology" reported that caffeine may modestly increase risks of developing a specific type of stone called a calcium oxalate stone 4.
Polycystic Kidney Disease
Polycystic kidney disease, or PKD, is a common genetic disorder that can lead to high blood pressure, kidney failure and other diseases. A study on rats in the lab, published in the November 2001 issue of "American Journal of Kidney Diseases," found that caffeine exacerbated high blood pressure in rats with PKD, with researchers recommending that if you have PKD you limit coffee consumption to four or fewer cups of caffeinated coffee per day 56.
Renal Failure
Renal failure, when your kidneys stop working, may require dialysis or a kidney transplant. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine evaluated the effects of long-term caffeine consumption on renal failure and published their results in 2002 in the "Kidney International Journal." They found that caffeine fed to obese, diabetic rats exacerbated renal failure in the rats 24. This effect was potentially caused by increases in cholesterol levels and proteinuria, or excess amounts of protein in urine.

A millennial brace of lacrosse action propels "Crooked Arrows" through a thicket of cliches liberally planted in its path. The story of a ragtag Native American team rediscovering the tribal roots of the game to defeat preppie champions is rife with tired tropes, and lacking in three-dimensional characters or colorful plot twists. Happily for this Onondaga-financed production and vet director Steve Rash, gifted Native American lacrosse players lend hard-hitting impact to the game scenes. "Arrows" opens June 1, its strong sports content likely to trump its hokey storyline on the smallscreen.
Entrepreneurial, sportscar-driving, mixed-blooded Joe Logan (Brandon Routh, of "Superman Returns") must coach his tribe's abysmal high-school lacrosse team to win approval for a casino expansion deal. In the process, he bonds with his father (Gil Birmingham) and kid sister (Chelsea Ricketts), and renews ancestral pride all around. Helmer Rash heightens involvement by interspersing real and imagined lacrosse action on a sylvan, 1,000-year-old reservation course where bygone loin-clothed warriors and their jersey-clad descendants lope through the woods, wary of ambush lurking behind every tree, the ancient game proving a true contact sport with each brutal body blow.

The City of Johannesburg has announced harsher water restrictions amid pressure from water utility Rand Water and the Department of Water and Sanitation to reduce water usage by 15% in the metro.
The City's Anthony Still explains that drastic measures include completely prohibiting the use of sprinklers and adding an additional levy on existing water restriction tariffs.
Residents who use between 20 000 - 30 000 litres of water will face an additional 10% charge. Those who consume between 30 000 - 40 000 litres will face an extra 20% fee; and usage above 40 000 litres will be penalised by 30%.
The City had already imposed Level 2 restriction late last year, but Still says that officials will enforce compliance more strictly.

Under the restrictions, residents may not water and irrigate their gardens from 6am and 6pm every day; not fill their swimming pools with municipal water; and not use hosepipes to wash their cars, paved areas, etc.

By Philip O'Sullivan
Improving insulation in older homes has been a Government priority for some time and more recently a poorly insulated home has been associated with a death of a child.
There are always demands for immediate answers in such situations and top of this list is insulation; as though this alone creates a healthy home.
Recent moves by Government help reinforce this belief: "Housing Minister Nick Smith has announced plans to strengthen residential tenancy laws, including requirements for landlords to provide smoke alarms and insulation, and to declare the standard of insulation on tenancy agreements".
Warm and dry
Frequently with insulation we hear the term "warm and dry". Obviously insulation helps to maintain warmth, but does not necessarily mean a dry home.
My parents were both raised in large families in uninsulated houses of the time – one a bungalow and the other a villa. Today we would class these overcrowded and unhealthy homes, but they managed to thrive despite the state of the housing and being raised during the depression.
So what's changed? During some of our building surveys utilising internal air testing, we notice an abundance of airborne skin flakes, which generally correlates with poor ventilation.
We know that modern houses are much more airtight than the draughty old villas and bungalows in which my parents were raised. We also notice in houses and schools a reluctance to open windows, especially during the colder months.
This is not surprising given buildings are now better insulated and heated.
As internal temperatures increase, occupants become reluctant to open windows, letting cold air in and all that lovely warm air out.
There are also security concerns and different social patterns meaning many homes are left locked and unoccupied during the day, while others are occupied for extended periods.
When temperature rises, relative humidity drops, which is desirable, but then more moisture is able to be absorbed into the air from cooking, showering and drying clothes.
So, without ventilation, when temperatures drop, more severe condensation occurs.
In certain circumstances this can be extreme. An owner of a two storey home in a shady location experienced this. At around 3am she would awake to find her bedding coated in condensation.
The house was well insulated and had an efficient wood-fire. She dried her clothing on a rack in the lounge in the evening. Bedrooms were upstairs and were lovely and warm, but as the house cooled down, around 3am the dew point was reached and all surfaces were suddenly coated with water. The simple cure was to install a trickle vent to let the worst of the warm humid air escape before she went to bed.
We are achieving better ventilation with range hoods, clothes-dryers and extract vents, if they vent to the outside. However, in older villas and bungalows, garden beds are raised and timber decks often are added. These can block subfloor ventilation and feed damp sub-deck air into subfloors.
A damp subfloor means a damp house. Increasing heating, because the house feels cold, can exacerbate the situation as explained above.
Opening windows?
As our mothers knew, windows were made to be opened! The best time during colder months is the middle of the day, when internal and external temperatures can be at their closest.
I suspect windows are now mainly opened during the summer for cooling and kept firmly shut during winter. So our requirements for opening windows in housing may well belong to a bygone era, but still suit many.
Mechanical ventilation
Mechanical ventilation may well be the answer, but not all mechanical systems are equal. The best systems include heat exchanges, so extracted warm air warms incoming cooler air, air filtration and positive pressure to minimise infiltration of unfiltered air.
So if this is your preference, look for websites that explain rather than sell, and provide useful information rather, than endless testimonials.

West Midlands Police in the UK has released CCTV footage that shows what is believed to be the first-ever theft of a car without using a key. The car in question was stolen from the owner's driveway while they slept.
Thefts of this nature have been made possible because criminals are able to take advantage of those vehicles fitted with keyless technology – often some of the most expensive on the road – by using specially adapted technology that mimics keys.
In this video, the two thieves stole a top of the range Mercedes car by using a device that amplified the code from the key that would have been located close to the front door. He then transmitted that signal to his accomplice, who in turn used it to trick the car into thinking he had the key.
The theft follows official advice from security organisations, such as the AA, to consider using steering wheel locks on even the most advanced cars, owing to the fact that criminals – as shown here – have developed methods that enable them to steal vehicles with the minimum of fuss and in a matter of seconds.

The #ASUS #ChromebookFlip is now getting an update to Chrome 53, which seemingly enables support for the Google Play Store. As you might recall, Google officially announced #PlayStore support for Chromebooks roughly a month ago, so it's high time that the update was sent out to existing Chromebooks. However, Chrome 53 is currently seeding through the dev channel, which means it's not ready on a wider scale as of yet.
But if you're willing to give it a try, it's as simple as following a few steps. Of course, this is only applicable to Chromebook Flip users for the time being. Although the Chromebook Pixel has also seen an update to Chrome 53, the Play Store support doesn't seem to be present, so it's possible that Google has only enabled it for the Chromebook Flip.
To be able to access the new Chrome OS version from the dev channel, you will simply have to navigate to Settings – About Chrome OS – More Info and tap Change channel in order to access the dev channel. Make sure you give this a try if you have a Chromebook Flip at your disposal.

I saw this flower bucket re-furb at All Things Related using graphics
downloaded from Kristine Mckay Designs and remembered some French
flower buckets out in my garden shed.
One was pastel yellow, one pastel blue from Michael's years ago,
another was a nice heavy weight authentic galvenized bucket. Some spray
paint, clear sealer and some glaze gave my mis-matched flower buckets
a whole new lease on life.
I printed out the graphics onto scrapbook paper, sprayed with clear sealer, glued down with instant decoupage, let dry, then glazed with a water based glaze from Lowe's. When completely dry all the buckets were sealed with a couple coats of clear sealer.
So my group of mismatched, unloved flower buckets are now destined for
center stage holding roses from my garden this summer.

Cotton is everywhere you look. We sleep in it, dry ourselves with it, wrap our bodies in it - we even cook with it. Today's modern cotton industry is an agricultural success story, with a rich history that started with the First Fleet. It's sustainable, community minded, efficient, resilient, technologically advanced and a big employer of Australians.
Around 1,500 cotton families stretching from Emerald in the north of Queensland to Griffith in Southern NSW are proudly growing the highest yielding, finest quality cottons in the world. And they're doing it with less water, less chemicals and healthier soils than ever before.
No wonder cotton is the world's favourite natural fibre.

Buy my cards that is :)
I was SO excited when I heard that SU changed their angel policy about selling cards from a fixed location and online! The change took place on my birthday, Nov. 15th, so I went ahead and created an Etsy shop. I think their fees are more reasonable than eBay and since it's for handmade items, I felt that my work would be appreciated more over there than on eBay. Anyway, if you're interested here's the link:
Scraptitude Shop
And here are a few of the cards that I have up there for sale!
Sets are selling for $15 and individual cards for $3. Shipping is always free! (in the US)
You know you wanna!

The Artisan Center of Virginia Announces Two Artisan Trail Network Kick-Off Events for the "Monticello Artisan Trail"
The Artisans Center of Virginia (ACV), the state's official craft organization dedicated to promoting Virginia Artisans and their work as a viable economic and cultural industry in Virginia, announced the Artisan Trail Network kick-off of the Monticello Artisan Trail with two town hall events designed to begin the enrollment period.
Trail sites along the Monticello Artisan Trail will include artisans, farms and craft venues that are members of the Artisans Center of Virginia and meet certain criteria as well as supporting trail site businesses that provide food, lodging or are a point of interest.
The Artisan Trail Network with its community loops are designed to attract visitors to artisan studios, agri-artisan farms and local craft businesses (Research, based on similar trails in western North Carolina, has shown that 97% of travelers make a purchase somewhere along the trail, artisan studios & farms have shown an increase of 23% in sales and craft shops and galleries reported a 28% increase in revenue, http://news.ncdcr.gov/2009/04/03/professional-craft-is-a-2065-million-industry-in-western-north-carolina/ ).
"The Monticello Artisan Trail is a major advance for the artisan and agri-artisan community in the rural areas of Albemarle and Nelson Counties. Our farmers and artisans who foster tourism, local culture and tradition, and sell locally grown food are important to our economic vitality and valued allies to protect our scenic views and natural resources. The work of private owners and rural businesses is essential to county goals in open space protection." Ann Mallek, Albemarle County Board Supervisor.
Those interested in becoming a trail site are invited to attend one of these town hall events to learn how they can participate. Individuals and businesses who wish to open their home studios and businesses to visiting tourists will receive information on local licensing and public visitation guidelines applicable to each county as well the "Artisan Trail Network Tool-Kit" explaining the details of becoming a destination on the trail. A special team of "trail ambassadors" made up of artisan and agri-artisan peers will be on hand to answer questions and assist with enrollment. RSVP Requested to email@example.com.

Hi Terri Sweetie...
Oh what beauty you have shared today. I love the Eiffel Tower. Darlin you just keep getting better and better, like a fine wine. It looks so gorgeous framed.
Thank you for sharing sweetie. I have so missed you. I pray your sweet Moma is well. I never miss a night for the two of you.
Tomorrow I see the specialist for my leg. The spot that was dime sized in May is now the size of a baseball. They did bloodwork today to see what my A1C is. They can't do the deep biopsy until I am stable. So many things going on sweet friend.
I have so wanted to call, but not much of a voice still. Today was a rough day for me, I went into the mailroom and on the other side of the wall, I heard a couple of people talking, they were making fun of how I sound when I try to talk. I was crushed as I thought I was doing much better. I have now decided I will just write on my wipe board and no longer talk. I can't take the hurt anymore.
Give your sweet Moma a hug for me. Please know sweet friend that you are so loved. I have loved you from the first time we talked. We both have old souls.
I will write again soon. Many hugs Terrie and so much love, Sherry

July 2008: Optimal Fund Management Australia granted its Australian Financial Services Licence.
September 2008: Optimal Australia Absolute Trust launched. (Long/short Australian equities strategy).
George Colman and Peter Whiting confirm full and joint ownership of Optimal Fund Management Australia (initially formed in partnership with Optimal Fund Management Asia).
July 2016: Optimal Benchmark Independent Fund launched (long-only Australian equities strategy) following considerable market feedback and seeded by one of Australia's largest superannuation funds.
June 2017, confirmed a strategic relationship with the Burnham Group, (a long-standing family office and private investment company), which included a minority equity interest in the firm, plus a significant investment in the long/short strategy.
July 2017. Rebranded from Optimal to ARCO Investment Management.
November 2017: Launched the ARCO Absolute Return Fund. The Trust Company (RE Services) Ltd was subsequently appointed as the 3rd party, Responsible Entity for this Fund in May 2018 and it was converted into a PDS for retail investors to also gain access to the strategy.
ARCO Investment Management has a fundamental research approach to stock selection for clients, constructing and actively managing portfolios of listed equity securities that we believe are priced at levels that do not adequately reflect their underlying value.
We are fundamentally driven investors, and believe that alpha-generation is hard work, requiring a deep insight into industry sectors and underlying companies, a willingness to assume out-of-consensus risk based on that work, and a flexible mind-set.
We view the equity market in Australia as highly efficient. As such, we believe that most high-liquidity, large-capitalisation stocks have an identifiable 'fair value' range, based on their comparative advantage to peers, growth rate, capital structure and allied fundamental considerations.
Our process is to combine intensive fundamental research with active consideration of non-fundamental factors, and is particularly interested in stock price variances from our calculated fair value range, whether below our fair value range for a stock or above it. We make it our business to find out why such variances are occurring, at both the fundamental (e.g. earnings, industry, or peer valuation dynamics) and market (typically liquidity or sponsorship changes) levels
Across our investment strategies, ARCO employs and strictly adheres to clear risk parameters that consider among other things, the following:
The ARCO Absolute Return Fund (the 'Fund', issued by The Trust Company RE Services Ltd) and the ARCO Absolute Trust (the 'Trust') may also use Index Futures contracts (derivatives) to hedge market risk, if ARCO consider it appropriate, to protect investors from the possibility of stock price declines.
Further, the Fund and the Trust's level of net equity risk exposure (defined as long market value less short market value) is governed by its assessment of market and macroeconomic risks, and systemic shock factors. Under its Trust Deed, each of the Fund and the Trust has the capacity to have 60% of net assets invested net long or net short, if ARCO believes that market conditions warrant such a strategy. In practice, since inception in 2008, the Trust has ranged from net asset exposure of between -20% to +30%, with an average of +5%.
The Benchmark Independent Fund may increase the cash weighting in the portfolio to no more than 20% of the Net Asset Value, if the Portfolio Managers consider it appropriate, to protect investors from the possibility of stock price declines.
Further details regarding the risk management approach used by ARCO to deliver on its investment objectives for investors can be reviewed in the offer documentation for ARCO's investment strategies.

Letter to the Galatians 4:13-20
You know that it was because of a physical infirmity that I first announced the gospel to you; though my condition put you to the test, you did not scorn or despise me, but welcomed me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus. What has become of the goodwill you felt? For I testify that, had it been possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me. Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth? They make much of you, but for no good purpose; they want to exclude you, so that you may make much of them. It is good to be made much of for a good purpose at all times, and not only when I am present with you. My little children, for whom I am again in the pain of childbirth until Christ is formed in you, I wish I were present with you now and could change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to
Saint Luke 10:21-24
At that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, 'I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.' Then turning to the disciples, Jesus said to them privately, 'Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.'

school in Fort Benning, Georgia that has been described as a "school for
assassins" and it's role in conflicts throughout Latin America. Mejia also
explained that Veterans for Peace formed in response to the aggression of the
Reagan administration toward Latin America in the 80's. He also explained that

Astrological Sign: Scorpio
Favorite Food: Chocolate, Cheese, Bread
Favorite Color: Mint, Pink
Occupation: Warehouse Operator
Hobbies: Sailor Moon collecting, Pinterest, coloring
When did you start cosplay?: 2005
I've always adored playing dress up and simply never outgrew that love. I learned about cosplay online through my childhood determination to find out where to buy a Sailor Moon costume. Bringing my favorite characters to life and turning fantasy into reality is what I truly love most about cosplay.
I mostly cosplay from Sailor Moon and have done eight variations of my favorite character, Chibi Usa, thus far. I also obsess and enjoy cosplaying from a few other series such as Studio Ghibli films. My specialty with cosplay is getting all the little details just right!

Do you like grocery shopping? ?Sometimes it can be overwhelming if you are crunched for time, trying to find the best food on a budget while purchasing food that your family will enjoy. ?Do you often hear about new foods that you want to try but you can't find them in the grocery store and after a couple attempts you just want to give up your search?
Soyfoods are excellent sources of high-quality protein and are sustainable for the environment. Supermarkets are filled with your favorite soyfoods but they may be hard to find. I'll let you in on some tips to make your search for soyfoods quick and easy.
Myth: Soyfoods are only available in high end/all natural grocery stores.
Truth: You can find soyfoods in almost any grocery store. You may find a wider variety of soyfoods at certain grocery stores, but all stores will have the essentials.
- Near the produce section: Tofu* and soy-based meat alternatives
- In the frozen food aisle: ?Edamame both in and out of the pods and soy ice cream
- Refrigerated dairy section: ?Soymilk, soy cheese, soy yogurt
- Shelf-stable soymilk (non-refrigerated) can also be found in one of the middle aisles of the store**
- Snack aisle: ?Soybars and soycrisps
*A couple tips on buying tofu: Tofu comes in different textures (extra firm, firm, soft, silken). Use this guide to buy the texture that best suits your recipe. ?And, stay tuned for more tips on cooking tofu.
If you are:
- Stir-frying: ?use extra firm tofu
- Baking or barbequing: ?use firm tofu
- Making a creamy dip or soup: ?use soft tofu
- Making a pudding, mousse or pie: ?use silken tofu
**Both refrigerated and shelf-stable soymilk are safe to drink and are a high-quality source of protein and vitamins. Make sure to shake soymilk well before pouring to ensure all of the nutrients are evenly distributed throughout the soymilk.
For a more detailed list of where you can soyfoods in the grocery store, check out our Soyfood in the Supermarket section, or this wonderfully useful infographic from one of our members, Solae:
Tofu and Black Bean Tacos
from Whole Foods Market
Tofu and Broccoli Stir-fry
from EatingWell
We're excited that April is National Soyfoods Month, so we'll have another post shortly with more soy-licious tips, myth busting and recipes.

Cigarette smoking is a chronic, relapsing illness that is inadequately addressed in primary care practice.
To compare cessation rates among smokers who receive pharmacotherapy alone or combined with either moderate- or high-intensity disease management that includes counseling and provider feedback.
Randomized clinical trial from June 2004 to December 2007.
50 rural primary care practices.
750 persons who smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day.
Pharmacotherapy alone (n = 250), pharmacotherapy supplemented with up to 2 counseling calls (moderate-intensity disease management) (n = 249), or pharmacotherapy supplemented with up to 6 counseling calls (high-intensity disease management) (n = 251). Interventions were offered every 6 months for 2 years. All participants were offered free pharmacotherapy. Moderate-intensity and high-intensity disease management recipients had postcounseling progress reports faxed to their physicians.
Self-reported, point-prevalence smoking abstinence at 24 months (primary outcome) and overall (0 to 24 months) analyses of smoking abstinence, utilization of pharmacotherapy, and discussions about smoking with physicians (secondary outcomes). Research assistants who were blinded to treatment assignment conducted outcome assessments.
Pharmacotherapy utilization was similar across treatment groups, with 473 of 741 (63.8%), 302 of 739 (40.9%), 175 of 732 (23.9%), and 179 of 726 (24.7%) participants requesting pharmacotherapy during the first, second, third, and fourth 6-month treatment cycles, respectively. Of participants who saw a physician during any given treatment cycle, 37.5% to 59.5% reported that they had discussed smoking cessation with their physician; this did not differ across the treatment groups. Abstinence rates increased throughout the study, and overall (0 to 24 months) analyses demonstrated higher abstinence among the high-intensity disease management group than the moderate-intensity disease management group (odds ratio [OR], 1.43 [95% CI, 1.00 to 2.03]) and among the combined disease management groups than the pharmacotherapy-alone group (OR, 1.47 [CI, 1.08 to 2.00]). Self-reported abstinence at 24 months was 68 of 244 (27.9%) and 56 of 238 (23.5%) participants in the high- and moderate-intensity disease management groups, respectively (OR, 1.33 [CI, 0.88 to 2.02]), and 56 of 244 (23.0%) participants in the pharmacotherapy-alone group (OR, 1.12 [CI, 0.78 to 1.61] for combined disease management vs. pharmacotherapy alone).
The effect of pharmacotherapy management cannot be separated from the provision of free pharmacotherapy, and cessation was validated in only 58% of self-reported quitters.
Smokers are willing to make repeated pharmacotherapy-assisted quit attempts, leading to progressively greater smoking abstinence. Although point-prevalence abstinence did not differ at 24 months, analyses that incorporated assessments across the full 24 months of treatment suggest that higher-intensity disease management is associated with increased abstinence.

I agree in that it's hard to tell what a different icon means. Also, IMO a red icon can be interpreted as "caution, dangerous!" (I said it in IRC). And a short splash would very well convey that the item is not hotkey assignable. I don't think we need an immediately visible cue about the assignability since I assume that hotkey is (re)assigned only very rarely.

The One Thing in Podcasting You Absolutely Need
In the last few months, you might have seen a lot of "Why you should be podcasting now" type titles on the web. It's true – you should be podcasting your message. There are many ways to do it and you can make it as easy or hard as you want. But out of all, there is one thing in podcasting that you cannot live without. If you don't have this thing, then podcasting won't work.
Today you are you!
That is truer than true!
There is no one alive who is you-er than you!
-Dr. Seuss
Desire Over Need
Keep in mind, podcasting on it's basic level is suppose to be fun. Otherwise you are just talking into a microphone. Sure, you get a message across. Sure, you sell stuff. But there are two ends to a podcast – your end and the listener's end.
If I say "time to make the podcast" and you cringe, then you are not into it. If you are not into it, how can your listeners be into it? Further, how can you sustain it?
I did a simple search and found this title "The 27 Steps To Get Your Podcast Into iTunes". Further, it was from David Jackson. While he is a trusted podcast coach and the content inside is very helpful, the title alone made me step back.
I need to do 27 steps to put a podcast in iTunes? UGH!
Choosing Your Commitment Level of Podcasting
Did you know there are different levels of podcasting? If you think it's just you and a microphone, then please re-evaluate your thoughts. Since we have a very basic definition of the genre (Video, Audio, PDF or ePub in an RSS feed of some sort), you can take that and run with it. Maybe start a 3D video podcast? Possibly a podcast of PDF files?
That is extreme, but how about these options:
- Podcast with a friend or colleague? Join forces and record together, or
- Alternate weeks with another with similar goals to create one show.
- Record snippets at events you have to be at, then post on your show
- Use resources like Fiverr and TaskRabbit to get people to help produce the show.
- Use services like BlogTalkRadio to record and post the call
- Record and upload to YouTube
- Get another to record podcasts for you.
Did You Know You Can Create a Podcast Where You Don't have to Talk?
Think of Bumblebee of the franchise "Transformers". He never talked. He used snippets of other shows and movies to get his ideas across. You can do it too – that is, within legal boundaries for audio and video.
You can easily do an interview show where you let the guest talk the whole time. You record them saying "Hi, I'm {name} and this is {your show}". Ask them questions behind the mic and simply edit those parts out. A 5 minute podcast with only one voice, and it's not yours.
A "text to speech" software solution like Dragon Naturally Speaking gives you a voice without having one.
Nature Sounds is another way to do a show without talking. Nobody said you have to sell anything in a podcast. Just have a podcast that people consume.
Schedule, Schedule, Schedule
This is where a lot of people lose it. Kids and family, jobs, bills and other items. They all weigh down on you and stress you out. Having the stress of a weekly podcast can definitely bog down your already stressful life.
But keep in mind, if you schedule things, you might find the shows to be easier to do. Further, You Don't Have to Podcast Every Week. That used to be a big issue for some, and it burnt a lot of people out.
TV shows don't create 52 episodes of content. More like 24 episodes a year in the United States. Some get 3-5 seasons out of it and the viewers to boot.
Schedule your 24 episodes. If you do 25, 52 or more, that's OK. If you do less than 24, keep the lines of communication open so people know what's going on.
Leave the Stress Behind
Walk into that podcast with one thing in mind – recording a podcast. If it fills you with worry, concern, or just negative emotions, then stop doing it. You need to be into the podcast. Your happiness and willingness is the key here. Otherwise, it's just something that will fade in the next year.

text: July 1st is an important day to me. On this day in 2004, I became a mom for the first time. I've always considered myself a mother of little ones until this year. It hit me this week that we're nearing the end of an era. The teen years are quickly approaching and everything is just starting to move a


text:
For seven straight days, my mom and I shared the same 20 x 20 box with two beds. Whenever she awoke, I did too. Whenever she watched a Lifetime movie, so did I. Meals? together. Neighborhood drives? Side by side.
We know a lot about each other, she and I. Always have, but this trip took us to a new level of understanding.
Here's what I knew to expect: She's always presentable and always prepared. She notices the colony of lint settling onto my peacoat approximately 3 days before I do. She checks for holes in her nylons before packing them on a trip, and immediately hangs up her coats, dresses, sweaters, scarfs and transient "wrinkleables" in the hotel closet. The folds of her purse are lined with protein bars and small stashes of almonds.
"Lord knows when you'll find yourself hungry or in a bind."
Here's the unexpected: I felt so much like my dad.
I guess he'd take his socks off in the middle of the night and forget to find them the next day, swallowed in the sheets. I guess he'd talk to waiters and workers and people with the same spark and tenderness that she caught me with.
"You're so much like your father," she'd say.
But besides the quirks and traits and behavioral patterns that were passed onto him to be passed onto me, I felt so much like my dad because I felt so much love for my mom. My, my. What a mushy thing to say and extraordinary thing to feel.
Our time in Atlanta can then be lumped into two themes that are so strongly intertwined. Human behavior (my mother's, my father's, my own. The people, past and present, that make up the confederacy — that make up the state and the stories told to the tiny Georgia Peaches not yet ripe enough to hear the true sounds of the South) and History.
We started at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library. Read the quotes to get an idea of the type of human behavior this President fought for.
We drove through the Virginia Highland neighborhoods to stop by a house that means so much to a few we love.
The Fox theatre welcomed us into the Cleopatra Ballroom, where we stood amidst hundreds of lit forty-somethings in sailor hats. They swayed and step-touched to the sounds of Yacht Rock Revue. The band looked like they had just stepped into technicolor, and their mustaches were unspeakably seventies.
The next day we went to Stone Mountain. Before we knew its racist roots, we looked upon it as visitors and were charmed by it. The Antebellum plantations. The fallen leaves. The wooden planks, everything frozen in time.
I cannot even express how heavy my heart is after seeing the tribute to Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson proudly etched into the stone that once held burning KKK crosses. The day evoked strong questions, emotions, sadness. But the visit was worthwhile. It was 20 degrees when we were there, but I cannot recall the cold, only the air hot, sticky with hatred.
For the rest of the trip, I worked and worked and worked. Luckily, my main girl was always up for meeting me after a long day and trying new places to experience new eats. Together, we sampled some of Atlanta's food jewels.
And when all the food and fun was said and done, we'd come back to the hotel and rest our heads in unforgivably comfortable beds. We marveled at the christmas decorations and the heated indoor pool.
I took a dip to get my heart rate up. When it slowed, I floated on my back, placing my index fingers in my ears. I listened to the blood circulate and the pool vent chew the water. Weightless, I expressed my gratitude to Work for displacing me, and to my mother and father for placing me where ever it is I am today.
With love, Us.

Victoria, Seychelles, 12th March 2018 - The Seychelles joins 28 other countries in Africa that have already successfully undertaken the voluntarily Joint External Evaluation (JEE) to determine their International Health Regulations (IHR 2005) core capacities. This first-ever JEE to be conducted in the country was undertaken by a team of eight external evaluators from the World Health Organisation (WHO) who were in the country between the 5th and 9th March 2018.
Speaking at the opening of the 5 days' workshop at Savoy Resort Beau Vallon on 5th March, the acting WHO Liaison Officer Dr. Teniin Gakuruh took the opportunity to reiterate WHO's and member states' position for a more rigorous review of the IHR implementation to include an external validation on internal self-assessment conducted by countries. This statement was made in the presence of the Minister of Health, Honorable Jean-Paul Adam, Public Health Commissioner Dr Jude Gedeon, Chief Executive Officer of the HealthCare Agency Dr Danny Louange, other key health professionals, IHR Focal Points, and other stakeholders. A total of about 70 participants from various ministries, Agencies, Laboratories, Educational institutions, Media houses, Port and Airport authorities were also present.
The JEE conducted followed an internal self-assessment of IHR (2005) completed by the country's national IHR focal points in October 2017 in collaboration with key partners including relevant health professionals and WHO office. Following this self-assessment, evaluators were last week invited into the country to conduct an external review and seek proof of the reported capabilities based on a number of indicators and technical questions included in the JEE tool. Field visits to a number of facilities - Health facilities, Emergency Operation Center, Laboratories, Points of Entry and the Disease Surveillance Response Unit also took place during the week.
A preliminary analysis of the country's capabilities, identified gaps, opportunities and challenges were presented to the participants on the last day of the workshop, where the JEE team Leader Dr Anderson Latt applauded the country for its level of preparedness seen on the ground. He said that the Evaluation team noticed that the country has done a lot in terms of prevention, detection and response to public health events and that the team has now identified key recommendations on how to improve further on such achievements.
Going forward, Seychelles will now develop a National Action for health security to enable the country to strengthen even more its IHR core capacities for effective containment of public health threats.
"This joint evaluation is the basis for us to achieve the best possible outcome. We consider this as a start of further work of investing in better processes and to work towards the full implementation and domestication of the IHR. It has given us an impetus to improve our system and taking actions to put in place Standard Operating procedures and updating the regulations and the laws" concluded Minister of Health Jean Paul Adam at the closing ceremony on Friday.

Previous research, including surveys on Menopause Matters, has shown that many women experience poor bladder control. which often starts or is worsened by the menopause. Despite this causing significant distress, many women do not seek help because of embarrassment, acceptance of the problem, or lack of awareness of treatment options. It is possible that the same mechanisms leading to urinary incontinence, pelvic floor damage during childbirth and then later reduced strength of the pelvic floor muscles due to the estrogen deficiency of the menopause, can also affect bowel control. We have no idea how many women may be affected by lack of bowel control, ie faecal incontinence, and how many are suffering in silence.
To shed some light on this potentially huge problem, please take a few minutes to complete this anonymous questionnaire, whether or not you are affected.

Fribourg / FreiburgDestination Fribourg Region
Drinking a cup of coffee in a leisurely fashion, admiring the old facades and beautiful fountains, listening to two local languages or gazing from the 74-meter spire of the Cathedral far into the countryside - this is an experience enjoyed in Fribourg (Freiburg).
Freiburg, nestled on a rock promontory, is surrounded on three sides by the Saane River. It is one of the largest medieval towns in Üechtland. Over 200 unique Gothic facades from the 15th century impart incomparable medieval charm to the Old Town.
Ramparts that are over two kilometers long used to protect the city in the past. Remnants of the walls, turrets and bastions are still preserved. Most impressive, however, is the Cathedral of Freiburg with its extraordinarily beautiful stained-glass windows. Construction started in 1283 and continued in several stages. Dedicated to St. Nicholas, it boasts a 74-meter-high tower that offers a fantastic panoramic view.
Another good viewpoint is the Italian-style early Baroque Loreto Chapel. From the Neuveville district (in the Lower Town), a funicular railway takes you up to the pedestrianised area of the Upper Town. Fribourg is a lively university town, with many students from all over the world, making this a cosmopolitan, multi-faceted mini-metropolis. In the narrow alleyways are tightly packed rows of little boutiques, antique shops, student cafés and restaurants, offering local and foreign specialities.
One of the favourite destinations for art-lovers is the "Espace Jean Tinguely et Niki de Saint Phalle", housed in a former tram depot. More works by the two artists can be found on the Sculpture Trail through the town centre. Modern art is on display in the Fri-Art Gallery. Children will love the Puppet Museum or the highly educational Natural History Museum.
It is worth making an excursion to Hauterive Abbey, a Cistercian abbey founded in 1137, and once a stopping place on the pilgrims' route to Santiago de Compostela.
Accessible town walls
The fortifications of the town of Fribourg were built in the Middle Ages between the 13th and 15th century. Large sections of them have been preserved to this day, which makes them the most significant piece of medieval military architecture in Switzerland. The town's fortifications consist of gates and towers, some of which are linked with walls. This system of walls, which is at least two kilometres long, once served to protect the town against invaders. Today, you can visit the old town walls on your own or on a guided tour.

Learning about verbs throughout elementary school is fun for students who play verb games in class. Teachers use these games to introduce new grammar concepts as well as strengthen old concepts that students have about verbs: what they are, how they work in a sentence, and other grammatical elements of this part of speech. Below are a few games that teach about verbs which your students will love. Take these ideas and adapt the games for the students in your classroom so that they are appropriate for their age and learning limitations.
One of the most popular verb games for kids learning about grammar is called SWAT, and you can play this game with verbs very easily. You need a blackboard, chalk, and two fly swatters. Before the game begins, brainstorm as many sentences as you have students so that everyone in the classroom will play twice.
Break the room up into two teams. Make three big boxes (about 2'x2') and inside of them, write "helping," "action," and "linking," which are the three kinds of verbs. Designate one student from each team to be a team secretary, tallying up the points their teammates earn.
For each turn of SWAT, have two students (one from each team) come up to the board. Have them each hold a fly swatter in hand. Then, read aloud one of your sentences. Their job is to swat at the correct box as soon as possible, identifying correctly whether the verb is a helping, action, or linking verb.
Make sure to finally reveal the right answer and confirm who (if anyone) earns a point from the turn. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
This game is incredibly fun for students of all ages because it allows you and your students to have a good discussion about grammar.
Before the game, brainstorm several sentences that have one verb in the sentence - be it linking verb or helping verb or action verb, there should be one main verb that is the predicate of the sentence.
On your list of sentences, take a note of how many words are in each separate sentence. When it is time to play the game, each turn is played sentence-by-sentence. Using paper and a bold marker (big enough that all students sitting at their desks can see the words clearly), write one of the sentences such that there is one word on each piece of paper.
Bring the number of students to the front of the room so that there all of the words of the sentence are represented. Mix up the papers, and have each student take a word. Tell them to organize themselves in a sentence in a line in front of the class, holding their papers out for their classmates to see. Then say to your students, "If you are holding the verb, jump for joy."
You may have a few students jump or none at all. This is a great chance for your students to begin a discussion of what a verb is and how it functions in the sentence. Students have fun playing this game and can be adapted to serve specific kinds of verbs ("Jump for joy if you are a helping verb") or other parts of speech (nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and articles).
This game does not require much supervision or help from you but it requires that you build a deck beforehand. Buy a pack of index cards. On the front of each card, write a different sentence, and underline a verb in that sentence. On the back of each card, write whether the underlined verb is a linking, helping, or action verb.
If a student gets the answer right, they keep the card, and if they do not, they can put the card under the deck. The students with the most cards at the end of the game wins. These kinds of verb games are for two students to play, and they ensure that students get a lot of individual practice while learning about verbs.

Best Western Hotel St. George is a 4 star hotel in Milan's Porta Venezia, between Central Station and the "fashion district".
A few minutes from the Best Western Hotel St. George there are also some of the city's main museums: the Pavilion of Contemporary Art, the Gallery of Modern Art and the Museum of Natural History in the Public Gardens Indro Montanelli.
Adjacent to our 4 star hotel is located the Lazaretto, among the most famous building of Milan cited in Alessandro Manzoni's The Betrothed, built between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries for the sick affected by the plague. Today the large complex demolished in 1882, remains visible on the short stretch of Via San Gregorio and the octagon of the neoclassical Church of St. Charles, reopened in 1884.
Important places of the history of Milan, included in guided tours that cover the most salient and suggestive of the existence and the art of Manzoni and characters of his most famous novel, a journey that starts from the area where there was just the Lazaretto, until you reach Piazza San Babila and Piazza San Fedele.
The past Manzoni, but also the openness and the increasing internationalization of the city are at hand for those who choose Best Western Hotel St. George.
Close to our 4 stars hotel in fact you will find the modern Gae Aulenti Square with its tower UniCredit stands now - like the Duomo - the city skyline; near the Porta Nuova neighborhood that combines the Garibaldi district of Island neighborhood and the Palazzo della Regione Lombardia symbol of a cutting edge.
In addition to these, which are the places that bear witness to the past and the future Milanese, very close the equally important and famous "shopping streets" that make Milan one of the fashion capitals.
100 yards from Best Western Hotel St. George, in fact, is the Corso Buenos Aires shopping street which is the longest in Europe, with its more than 550 windows, offers a 1.2 km long shopping. Shops and boutiques overlook a very wide sidewalk with areas planted and benches, bars and ice cream parlors equipped to offer the chance for fleeting lunch breaks and longer in this, thanks to the synergies of the merchants, is one of the safest areas of Milan.
A few minutes' walk to the "fashion quadrilateral" with its luxury boutiques. Hermes, Chanel, Prada, Gucci, Cartier, Bvlgari, Damiani, Church, or all trademarks of Olympus glam concentrated in a maze of streets super-chic nice just to indulge in window-shopping.
Always lie within the picturesque Martesana, walking along the bike paths that avenue Tunisia reach Porta Nuova Garibaldi Hines - joining the station Garibaldi Corso Buenos Aires - and from here continue further towards the canal.
For those who come to Milan for Health finally, it is easy to reach the National Cancer Institute and, for those who choose the city of Milan for didactic reasons, the Polytechnic.

A stabbing victim has told how one of his alleged attackers phoned him later and threatened to burn down his Bellshill home if he gave evidence in court.
David Meekison, 46, said his wife took the threat seriously but he wasn't worried as the house was protected by CCTV cameras and an alarm system.
He was giving evidence at the trial of Adam Martin who denies attempting to pervert the course of justice by threatening Mr Meekison on August 4 this year.
Martin, 26, Graham Martin, 27 and Dylan Hay, 23, all presently in custody, along with Jamie Hyslop, 21, of Sunnyside Avenue, Holytown, are accused of punching, kicking and stabbing Mr Meekison to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement in Thorndean Avenue, Bellshill, on July 7.
Hyslop, Hay and Mairi Kennedy, 31, also of Sunnyside Avenue, are charged with conspiring to arrange a false alibi for Hyslop and Hay, and trying to get rid of incriminating evidence.
Mr Meekison told Hamilton Sheriff Court he needed stitches in stab wounds and that the four men charged were all involved in his attack.
The trial before Sheriff Shiona Waldron continues.
