When you envision your ideal life, it may sometimes seem very far away, which can be discouraging when you're feeling bogged down in the not-so-pretty realities of where you may be. But chances are, you're living some piece of your dream on a small level, even if it's just a tiny sliver of your reality today.
Give thanks for these things that are already working in your favor. When you shift your focus from a feelings of lacking to a place of gratitude, you'll find that more of what you appreciate will show up – and plenty of it.

text: So the Probation Service is drowning in paperwork and spend 75% of their time in meetings. Where is the news in this? The whole country has been choked by the creation of paper trails, box ticking and pointless meetings instead of getting out there and doing useful stuff, exercising discretion. Why? Because under the last government we were needlessly over-regulated every time there was a problem and have ended up after 10 years in a climate of fear because due process was not followed. Bring back individuality creativity and common sense.

Title: Love's Wall
A Time for Love Series Standalone
A Time for Love Series Standalone
Author: Karen Deen
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: December 4, 2017
Falling in love can be so easy - but is it always the right thing to happen in your life? Everyone has a history but, for some, that history makes them believe they aren't worthy of love.
Life sends us the right person at the right time. You just have to be ready to accept them.
When his last relationship ended and shattered his dreams for the future, Zach moved forward carving out a life on his farm. He built a wall around his heart so he'd never be hurt again.
Family is everything for him. Working in the family-owned building company, life was simple and happy. Yet something - or someone - was missing from that life. Zach didn't know it, but things were about to change. His wall was about to be tested and love was going to challenge everything he has strived to protect. Will it crumble enough for him to accept his one?
Just when you least expect it, there is that one moment that changes everything.
Being a single Mom, every day is a challenge for Emily. Her life has become a series of relentless hurdles. She decided a long time ago that love was on hold until her children were old enough to support themselves.
Life has toughened Emily. She's created a wall around her little family to protect them - and her heart. Never again would she allow it to be taken and abused by someone else. Pushing hard to survive the latest blow, Zach walks into her life and turns it upside down. Seeing Emily at her lowest, Zach wants to rescue her. Can she let her pride slip enough to allow her wall to crumble and open up to him? If she finally shares her world, will Zach still look at her the same? Should she put it all aside so she doesn't miss her one?
Can love erase the history that has made their walls so thick and high? Even if they both know they've found the one, can they demolish their walls enough to make the leap?
Heading across the bedroom, steam still swirling around from the shower, I paused. The view of the mountains brought a smile to my face as I stood naked at the window, enjoying the morning in all its glory. The breeze carried the bird's morning song and the sounds of the cattle in the paddocks through the open window. Nature was busy getting ready for the day. I pulled my clothes on for the office. Part of me wished that I could just jump back into my farm jeans, shirt and boots and head out to the barn to saddle up for a ride. I could use one more day to relax in this tranquil place like I had been for the last two days.
Thinking back on the weekend I could see that, although I loved my life, it was missing something. Or perhaps someone. My life was full. I had an amazing family and a business that made me happy to get up and go to work every morning. My home was my safe-haven, it gave me a place to just be myself with no expectations. It also gave me a place to hide. With all of the things that were right in my life, there was still a part of me that was empty. After letting my mind drift, I knew I needed to get my head around the start of a new week. Jumping in the car, I placed the same call that I made every Monday morning as I drove out of the gate.
"Good morning, Zoe, how was your weekend?" I smiled, waiting for the usual answer.
"Morning, Zach. Let's just say that several words can describe it. My weekend was fun, crazy, drinking, partying - all of which have led to my head paying the consequences this morning!" Zoe then launched into stories of the weekend and we spent time laughing about her nights out.
As I turned down the entrance to the highway and felt my foot press down on the pedal, my body pushed back into the leather seat that wrapped around my body so well. The buzz of driving a nice car at speed brought a smile that inched up my face.
"So the big question is, Zoe - did you spot your Mr Right out there somewhere?" I let out a little chuckle, hearing Zoe sigh and then laugh. She got ready to joke it off, but I knew deep down under the party girl exterior it was no joke. She was a young lady who would give anything to have a man to love and protect her, to plant her feet on the ground. My gut feeling was that man would be my brother, Luke, but the two of them just hadn't worked it out yet. The sexual tension between them could light up Times Square, yet they both fought so hard to keep that 'friend wall' up. One day something was going to flick that switch and the explosion would be more impressive than the Fourth of July fireworks. I'd just sit back, watch, wait and then say 'I told you so' because I knew all along.
"Now Zach, you know as good as I do that there is no good man out there who will pin me down. Living the dream, Zach, living the dream". I burst out laughing at Zoe's comment, knowing she was trying to convince herself of that. "Tell your head that this morning, Zoe. Anyway, as much as I hate to hurt that little brain of yours, what's on the agenda for today? Also, did you get that email I sent you re the plans for Branch Street that need to be at council by 10.00am?"
"Yes, yes," she sighed. "Already done, you know I am always one step ahead of you!"
Zoe joined our building development company five years ago straight out of secretarial college and had been my assistant from day one. It was a match that could have spelled disaster. She walked in on a day that had me dragging myself up off the couch in my office. I was trying to make the bathroom to throw up the bottle of bourbon I had consumed the night before. Tragically, I stumbled and managed to throw up on her shoes and then lay moaning at her feet.
Our relationship could have gone either way. She could have turned around and walked straight back out, cursing me as she left, never to return. Instead, Zoe just looked down at me and burst out laughing. She proceeded to tell me to take my hungover ass and grovel back to the couch while she changed and cleaned up my mess. She walked over and threw her shoes in the bin, mumbling that she expected two new pairs of shoes to replace the ones which were now laying sadly in the bottom of the bin. It hurt my head to laugh, but I couldn't help but let out a quiet chuckle. We would get on just fine.
Zoe spent our first day of working together in her gym clothes. Luckily, they were in her car and clean. Me? I was in the singlet and jeans I had on from the night before, minus the shirt. It had a new home in the bin with her shoes!
Zoe had cleaned me up, poured coffee that was as thick as tar down my throat, along with bottle after bottle of water and plenty of pain relief. We managed to get to the end of the day and she never asked what happened. And I never told her. From

Recent research has allowed doctors to develop a category of medicines known by the name of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. For those who do not know, these drugs work by helping reduce the release of the hormones known for causing inflammation and pain in the patients' bodies. An example of such a medicine is Voveran, which is often used to treat various forms of inflammation and pain, such as arthritis, migraine headache attacks and more. Do keep in mind the fact that the drug only treats the pain which has already begun, rather than its source.
Some doctors may also recommend Voveran for other purposes, some of which are not listed in this article.
What should patients know prior to taking this medicine?
To kick things off, it is important for patients to consult their healthcare provider prior to taking any pain-relief medicine such as Voveran. With this in mind, during your consultation, make sure to let your doctor know whether you suffer from any other medical conditions- this aspect is essential due to the high number of side effects associated with Voveran, if not administered correctly. Not only this, but also tell your doctor about your allergies, and any other treatments that you may currently be undergoing.
Studies have shown that taking the drug can actually increase the risk of fatal heart and circulation problems, such as heart attacks and a stroke. The risk increases more, as you use the drug more. Also, avoid using it prior to having heart surgery, and seek emergency medical help whenever you experience chest pain, or any other symptoms associated with a heart attack or stroke. During your treatment, whenever you feel like taking another medicine, make sure to contact your doctor or pharmacist before doing so.
Pregnant woman should avoid taking Voveran unless otherwise instructed by their doctors.
How should patients go about taking Voveran?
Patients should go ahead and take the medication exactly as it has been prescribed by their doctors, while also following the strict instructions of the prescription label.
Upon taking the pill, make sure to avoid taking larger or smaller doses, but also taking the drug longer or shorter than your treatment period. When swallowing the pill, make sure not to crush, open up or chew the tablets, but rather swallow it with a full glass of water. In case you are given dissolvable medicine, make sure to use enough water, and stay away from any other type of liquid when administering the drug.
What side effects should patients expect while taking this medicine?
Currently, some of the most common side effects that Voveran patients can experience include loss of appetite, muscle stiffness, chills, increased sensitivity, nausea, balance problems and more. In case of more severe side effects, make sure to seek emergency medical attention.

Buyer Agent vs. Seller Agent
A buyer agent and a seller agent both represent different people during the sale of a property. Find out about a buyer agent versus a seller agent with help from an experienced real estate professional in this free video clip.
Video Transcript
Hi, I'm Darryl Baskin with EXP Realty in Tulsa, Oklahoma. What's the difference between a buyer's agent and a seller's agent? Well, it may sound obvious that a buyer's agent represents the buyer and a seller's agent represents the seller but what does it really mean when it gets down to business. Well, a buyers agent is specifically there to protect the buyer's interest through the process. Now imagine sitting down at the kitchen table with a home seller to negotiate the purchase of a property. A home seller you may or may not know well and a property that you don't really know the ins and outs of. The buyer's agent can help you negotiate the appropriate price for the market so that you're not overpaying, can help you through the process of home inspections and on relative terms help you determine what a fair deal is. Now how is a buyer's agent paid? In most instances your buyer's agent is paid through an agreement, a cooperative agreement through the multiple listing system. That's where real estate agents share the commissions. That means you won't have to pay more and you'll probably end up with a much better value, less stress in the process, and you'll be happier with your home purchase. I'm Darryl Baskin with EXP Realty in Tulsa, Oklahoma and that's the difference between a buyer's agent and a seller's agent.

Berger & Webb has one of the most active and well-respected condemnation practice groups in New York. Our condemnation attorneys counsel government agencies on development projects and eminent domain proceedings of all magnitudes and complexities, and we also represent condemnees. We advise on every aspect of the eminent domain process, beginning at the time that condemnation is first considered and continuing through the public hearing process, acquisition, relocation, valuation, litigation, trials and appeals. We serve as counsel to various developers and other entities, providing them with legal counsel relating to major projects in which condemnation is likely.
By way of example, the firm serves as condemnation counsel for the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York in connection with two multi-million dollar development projects for the expansion of two colleges of the City University of New York – John Jay College in Manhattan and Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn. In addition, we represent the Metropolitan Transportation Authority with respect to its large-scale creation of the Fulton Street Transit Center in Lower Manhattan, the expansion of the Second Avenue subway line on Manhattan's Upper East Side, and on the East Side Access Project, which will connect the Long Island Rail Road to Grand Central Terminal.

Wie Wins U.S. Open, Lewis Second
Stacy Lewis looked to make a run at her first ever U.S. Open title but a fellow American prevented the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world her third major title.
Michelle Wie's even par final round was good to enough to post a 2-under for the tournament and her first major championship. Lewis finished two strokes back at even-par for the tournament.
Lewis, who led after the opening round, closed the gap to just one stroke at one point on the back nine but the former Razorback made bogey then Wie rolled in an eagle putt on No. 10. Lewis finished with back-to-back birdies and again got within a stroke of Wie after the Hawaiian made double-bogey at No. 16.
But that was when the 24-year old put things to rest. Wie rolled in a birdie putt on No. 17 to push her advantage back to two strokes and iced the tournament.
The LPGA now moves to Northwest Arkansas next week for the Walmart Championship presented by P&G at Pinnacle Hills Country Club in Rogers.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients with stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial cancer.
|Condition or disease
|Ovarian Cancer
|Biological: filgrastim Drug: carmustine Drug: cisplatin Drug: melphalan Drug: paclitaxel Procedure: peripheral blood stem cell transplantation Procedure: surgical procedure
|Phase 2
OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the complete response rates, event free survival, and overall survival of patients with recently diagnosed stage III or IV ovarian epithelial cancer receiving carmustine plus melphalan followed by consolidation therapy after having undergone surgical debulking. II. Evaluate the therapy related mortality associated with the autotransplant and the consolidation therapy in these patients. III. Evaluate the quality of life in this patient population.
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified by stage (III vs IV) and volume of residual disease (less than 3 cm vs at least 3 cm). Approximately 10-15 days after surgery, patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously daily until all peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collections have been completed. Patients then receive carmustine IV over 2 hours on day -2 and melphalan IV over 20 minutes on day -1. Peripheral blood stem cells are infused 24 hours after melphalan on day 0. Patients receive G-CSF subcutaneously beginning on day 6 and continuing until granulocytes have recovered. Three months after the PBSC infusion, patients receive consolidation therapy with paclitaxel IV over 6 hours on day 2 and cisplatin IV over 24 hours on day 3. Consolidation treatment is repeated every 3 months for a total of 4 courses. Quality of life questionnaires are completed prior to PBSC transplant, before discharge after transplant, before each consolidation treatment, and 3 months after the last consolidation course. Patients are followed at least every 3 months for the first 2 years, and then every 6 months thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: An estimated 32 patients will be accrued into this study over 3-4 years.

While painting, time seems to disappear as forms take shape on the canvas.
There is a deep sense of peace in the creative process. The finished painting then becomes a record, a history, and physical evidence of the creative process in action. Subject matter, light, form and colour are key aspects to my work.
I hope it is evident to anyone looking at my artwork that i have a profound respect for nature and form, particularly as it is revealed in various qualities of light and shade. Painting light and colour in its various expressions have been a passion of mine from the beginning. My approach is basically inspired by curiosity, dream state and consciousness. I primarily work in my studio overlooking the sea, (Cape Town South Africa) an incredible source of inspiration.

The wine producing vineyards of Cantina Frentana are located within the land boundaries of the Frentana village, which lies south-east of the Apennine mountains near the historic city of Lanciano in the very heart of the Abruzzo wine producing region. The Frentana winery praises itself for having one of the most efficiently operated wine growing associations in Abruzzo. Frentana began in the late fifties with a few small selected vineyards and wine growers, and in the last forty years has grown to more than 400 members. These growers are assisted throughout the entire grape growing season, right up to the harvest, by the highly qualified Frentana staff (which includes an agronomist and enologist) in an approach aimed at very specific grape yields considered worthy of wines with the traditional Frentana standard of quality. All the latest, most up-to-date wine making equipment and techniques are used together with a wealth of collective historical winemaking knowledge, to produce great Frentana wines.

Canada is betraying its Aborigines, who must deal with dreadful living conditions, poor healthcare and discrimination, the country's top Aboriginal leader said in a fiery speech on Tuesday.
Aborigines, who make up about 1.2 million of Canada's 34.5 million population, suffer high levels of poverty and crime. Unemployment and suicide levels are highest among Aborigines, especially on the remote reserves and settlements that dot the country's north.
Dismaying conditions in the isolated community of Attawapiskat in northern Ontario — where a severe housing crisis means people are living in tents as temperatures dip down toward minus 40oC — have been at the center of media attention since last week, embarrassing the federal government.
"Canada saw for the first time last week what we see every day, what our people live with day in and day out," said Shawn Atleo, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations.
"Some of our communities — too many of our peoples — live in appalling conditions. This is a national disgrace, and we have reason to feel angry and betrayed," he told an Ottawa gathering of Aboriginal leaders.
Atleo said Aborigines were living through "a tragic, frustrating and even terrifying time."
He said the Attawapiskat debacle could be a moment of reckoning that helps Aborigines gain more control over their lives.
Successive Canadian governments have for decades struggled to improve the life of Aborigines, who want more federal spending and a much greater say over what happens to the resources on their land.
The increasing sense of frustration is helping bolster Aboriginal opposition to Enbridge's planned C$5.5 billion (US$5.4 billion) Northern Gateway oil pipeline, which would take crude from the Alberta oil sands to the Pacific across land belonging to many Aboriginal tribes.
Ottawa currently spends about C$11 billion a year on the Aboriginal population, which leaders of Aboriginal tribes say is not enough.
Canadian Federal Indian Affairs Minister John Duncan, expressing concern about possible mismanagement at Attawapiskat, appointed an outside specialist to oversee the settlement's finances, but the specialist was forced to leave almost as soon as he arrived.
Opposition legislators described the move as crass.
"It is a truly terrifying situation for the people there to have a government whose only response to the situation of urgency and emergency is to send in an auditor," said Bob Rae, interim leader of the Liberal Party.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper responded that Ottawa would respond to the community's needs.
He is scheduled to meet Atleo in Ottawa on Jan. 24 to discuss ways of improving the lives of Aborigines.

Not gonna lie. It's much easier to be a woman today than, say, 100 years ago. Or even 50 years ago. The sheer discrimination that women used to face back then was terrible, to say the least.
But even as lives and living conditions have improved remarkably for us since then, there's no denying that there still exists a startling amount of bias against women even today. The only difference is that this bias is now more in the form of "expectations" that society has for us.
For example, it's not considered ladylike to have tattoos, because "ladies" aren't supposed to have tattoos. That's outrageous. Or that no woman's life is complete without a man in her life, and once she's got a man, she HAS to have a baby.
Because after all, that's what our bodies are made for, isn't it? To reproduce as many babies as we can till society's happy with us?
Of course, this puts a lot of unnecessary pressure on women, especially those who are unable to have children, because not having a child is just one of society's 100s of ways to tell us that we aren't good human beings.
A lot of women give in to this pressure. Those who can afford it, opt for surrogacy, others go for adoption (the best alternative, in our humble opinion). Then there is a small category of women who choose to lie, deceive, kidnap and even murder just to have a baby in their arms.
Don't believe us? Well, go through the stories below and decide on your own!
14 Pretended To Be Expecting For 14 Months
Dynel Lane was 35 years old and married. She had been telling her hubby that she was with child...for 14 MONTHS. (Can you believe it?) Obviously she wasn't expecting at all, but she knew she had to get a child from somewhere. Her husband was threatening to end the marriage if she didn't produce a child.
Lane put up an ad for maternity clothes on Craig's List, which is how she lured Michelle Wilkins to her house. Wilkins, who was 7 months pregnant, was attacked by Lane. Dynel cut the unborn baby from her belly with two kitchen knives.
Unfortunately, the baby died from the ordeal, but Wilkins who survived the ordeal called 911 and was able to get the help she needed. Dynel Lane was charged with attempted first-degree murder and was sent to jail.
13 Pretending To Be Expecting For Ratings
[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="608"] Via: crushable.com[/caption]
In all honesty, this one is pure speculation on the part of TV conspiracy theorists, because there's no hard core proof. But the theories that go against Danielle's pregnancy are overwhelming, so have a go at them.
Remember the reality TV show called 'Married to Jonas'? Well, it was alleged that Danielle's pregnancy was faked for two reasons. To get higher ratings for the show was giving them abysmal TRPs and to sell the Jonas brothers' concert tickets.
Sounds like a very low blow, but here's the thing, Blind Gossip alleged that the photos that Danielle posted in her Instagram account of her bump, sonograms etc didn't line up. Her due date and the maturity of the child in the womb in the photos were too different – the child in the photo was further along than Danielle's own child.
And to be honest, if this were true (the differing dates), don't you think it would have caught the eyes of the media because, let's face it, it was nothing less than a medical mystery?
12 Texas Woman Kidnaps The Baby Of Her Aquiantance
Sesmas had been faking her pregnancy for months, and she was growing desperate to show everybody that she had a child. Yesenia knew someone who had just had a baby, and she decided to take her baby for herself.
Abarca-Nogueda and Sesmas had been acquaintances since Yesenia had lived in Wichita, after which Sesmas moved to Texas. The Wichita police released a statement saying that not only did Sesmas kill Nogueda, she had abducted her newborn baby Sophia.
Luckily, Sesmas was apprehended by authorities and Sophia was given to her closest surviving relatives. This news did receive a lot of media coverage. A GoFundMe page was created to cover the cost of Sophia's mother's funeral, and $12,305 was donated by 180 people for that purpose.
Kind of an unexpected twist. The first half of the story makes you wonder what kind of people are in this world, while the second half restores your faith in humanity.
11 Nigerian Woman Faked For Family Money
[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="3456"] Via: dublindentalcenterpa.com[/caption]
Azeesat had successfully managed to fake her pregnancy for almost 9 months, up until the time of her delivery. She used old clothes to stuff inside her maternity garments in order to give her the appearance of having a bump, and being the smart woman that she is, refused to be examined by the doctor in charge.
Dr Yusuf Abdulraheem, who is the CMD (Chief Medical Director) of Yusjib Industrial Medicare, told authorities that her family had brought her to the hospital and even though her family insisted that she was a regular at his hospital, he could not recollect her face.
He then put two and two together to figure out that the girl had been mooching off her family's money in the name of pregnancy. It was only when she was forced to get an examination, that the doctor discovered the clothes inside her clothes. Wow.
10 The Baby Bump Was A Balloon
[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="1920"] Via: ytimg.com[/caption]
Imagine a heavily pregnant woman beginning her exam, calling in all the nurses and the doctor on call to have a look at her, only to realize that the pregnant woman in fact, has an inflated balloon under her shirt. And that's exactly what happened to the staff at Othaya District Hospital in Nyeri county
21 year old Purity Kiritu, 21 was rushed to the hospital after she faked being in labor. Here's where things get funnier - Nyeri South Deputy OCPD Jefferson Ali told the media at a press conference that not only had Purity been arrested for fraud, the red balloon that she had been using as a baby bump, was taken into custody as well because it was to be used as an exhibit in court.
Purity lived with her husband in Dandora, Nairobi, and was made to go a mental exam to asses her mental health.
9 Sterilized Woman Fakes Pregnancy For Boyfriend
Mahon faked a pregnancy because she was desperate to stay with her boyfriend. He'd obviously seen the crazy in her, but he held on after she told him she was pregnant. The kicker is that Mahon had got herself sterilized 2 decades earlier!
Mahon called up a lady she knew and lied to her about her husband being in a car accident. Needless to say, the woman rushed to the hospital and left Mahon with her baby.
When the woman reached the hospital, she found out that Mahon's husband had never been admitted there and that there was in fact no car accident at all. Afterward she returned home to another shock when she realized Mahon had run away with her child.
Well the story had a happy ending, it didn't take the police too long to catch Mahon. When Kelly was apprehended he baby was found asleep in her home. The baby was reunited with her parents shortly after the ordeal began.
8 Cheater Duped Boyfriend Into Staying With Her
Lucy Black was a conniving woman. After she realized that her relationship with her partner Mandlenkosi Nkomo was going downhill, she came up with an elaborate plan to get money and keep her boyfriend.
She told Nkomo that she was pregnant and he was the father. She pressured him to not only stay with her, but to shell out money for the baby's expenses.
Eventually Nkomo became fed up with the life he was being forced to live, he approached the Bulawayo Civil Court to get a protection order against Lucy. Afterward he found out that she was cheating on him, so he attempted to break off all ties with her, but she turned violent.
Black sent him openly threatening messages, as well as to his new girlfriend. During the course of the trial it was found out that Black was lying about her pregnancy, and justice was served.
7 Used Fake Bump To Smuggle Narcotics
This Canadian national had a rather different reason for faking her pregnancy. Tabitha Leah Ritchie, a Canadian social worker had gone on a trip to Bogota, Columbia, for a few weeks. Upon her return she was sporting a rubber belly and pretending to be 7 months along.
She was on her way home from Colombia, where she was detained at the airport. One of the inspectors at the airport became suspicious of Ritchie, when she asked how far along Ritchie was and the Canadian became aggressive over the question.
The 28 year old Tabitha was caught because her belly was hard and cold – uncommon in pregnant women. It was later discovered that she had stuck a belly made of latex to her stomach, in which authorities found 4.4 pounds of cocaine.
6 Pregnancy Delusion Turns Grisly
This story entails the grisly murder of a teen mom, so if you're easily upset, skip this one over.
25 year old Mirian Siqueira used to sell baby products, which means she was constantly in touch with pregnant women or new mothers. This could possibly be one of the contributing factors as to why Mirian did what she did.
The culprit told everybody around her that she was pregnant, and everybody believed her. Because why wouldn't they?
She invited 15 year old Valissia Fernandes de Jesus over to her house to look at some baby shoes, where she killed the teen mom. Her body was dumped inside a barrel, while the baby's body was found near a bin. Both bodies were discovered by Siqueira's husband Mateus.
Mateus also said that Mirian admitted to him for being responsible for both the murders. It was later found out that Mirian suffered from false pregnancy delusions, which were triggered by her inability to get pregnant.
5 Possible Miscarriage Turns Into Grisly Deception
Ashleigh Wade, 22, was estranged from her natural parents and had . According to Ashleigh's parents, she had called and told them she was pregnant, but the baby never materialized and then she suddenly stopped talking about the baby.
Wade had been posting pictures of sonograms and had even been posting on baby blogs about her pregnancy. Ashleigh had a number of people in her life convinced that she was pregnant, including Angelikque Sutton, an old friend she recently found on Facebook, but one night Wade turned on Sutton and killed her then took the unborn child as her own.
Ashleigh claims that the two women had been talking about the past when things turned violent and Angelikque attacked her with a knife. Afterward Wade called her boyfriend and told him she did something terrible. When the police arrived, Wade insisted the baby was hers, then changed her story.
Wade's landlord Angela Parris was even deceived -- and this was a lady who dealt with pregnant women on a regular basis. Parris says that she believes that Ashleigh may have been pregnant at one time, but lost the baby.
4 Woman Uses Fake Bump To Smuggle Explosives
Recently a 25 year old Muslim woman was detained by the French anti-terror police, along with her 34 year old male partner for publicly encouraging terror attacks against the citizens of France.
When caught, the woman's fake baby bump was revealed. The French police believed she used her fake belly to carry explosives in it, most likely for a terror attack. What's interesting to note is that the fake belly was lined with aluminium foil to conceal the contents of the belly (like explosives) at security gates.
France is no stranger to terrorist attacks; nobody could forget the Paris terror attacks that shook the world and opened up the possibility of first world countries having to deal with terrorism on such a level. 130 innocent lives were lost that day.
3 Phantom Pregnancy Sends Woman To The Hospital
Only after a month of dating new boyfriend Paul Servat (whome she found via an online dating site), Barbara Bienvenue told him she was pregnant. But the woman wasn't as smart as some of the other ladies mentioned in this article.
In the beginning she claimed to be having twins, but then magically, those twins became triplets, and finally, quintuplets.
Of course, her loved ones were very happy for her and started helping her financially. She successfully maintained her facade for 9 months, up until the time it was for her to "deliver" her baby. When she was taken to the hospital, the nurses burst her bubble and told her boyfriend that she had never been pregnant!
Servat was heartbroken, because he was genuinely excited to be a father, so much so that he'd even decided on the names he would give his babies. Barbara was shifted to a psychiatric care facility, as some claimed this wasn't the first time she had pulled this stunt.
2 Fraudster Conned Couple Out Of £8300
One Austrailian couple were unable to have children, but wanted to become parents desperately. Benita and Mark Cutter opted to have a baby through surrogacy. Then they came across Brown's ad on the internet. The couple didn't think twice before paying Brown for all her expenses, which totalled over £8,300.
This amount also included other monetary demands that Brown made, including paying for her other expenses because she lost her job.
The couple were regularly sent ultrasound photos of their "child" and they were happy. However, a few days before delivery, Brown claimed to have a car accident in which she lost her baby. She even sent photographic "evidence" to back up her claim.
It didn't take the Cutters long to realize that they had been duped. They reached the authorities, who thankfully, gave them the justice they deserved.
1 Fake Pregnancy Turns Into Kidnapping
Judith Ann Walker also fooled everyone around her by faking her pregnancy. There was never a reason for anyone not to believe her. Walker wore a pregnancy harness to appear like an expectant mother. The only problem was that she needed to have a baby.
Judith had her own extermination business and had a customer who had recently had a baby. Wade started to plan a kidnapping and even went so far as to case the house of the victims for weeks before making a move. When she finally got an opportunity, she tried strangling the victim with a cord, asking for her baby all the while.
Thankfully the victim fought back and rushed out of her home to call for help. It didn't take long for the police to catch Walker, and where was booked for attempted murder, among other charges.

The KamaSutra Exotic Dance and Strip Club is THIS kind of club yes (see picture) and its located on an adult sim. I could enter the sim though im not age verifyed. I dont know why? I have been stuck in adult banlines several times while sailing and I dont know the difference. Anywhoo this place seemed easy enought to enter even for me.
The club is created and owned by the lovely and innovative ladies Canary Beck (Becky) and Purdie Silkamore *applause*.
The grand opening this friday was a huge success. The theme was indian and there were lots of prices to win. It was frying hot and crowded so eventually my computer gave up with this message:
OpenGL message "lost connection"
The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver due to exceeding the Windows Time-Out limit and is unable to continue.
The application must close.
But after some struggle with restarting everything I got some more pictures.
The owners describes their club like this: "Imaginative and sumptuously erotic, the KamaSutra Exotic Dance and Strip Club combines palacial Indian interiors with expertly trained exotic dancers, marrying authentic cultural tastes with modern erotic flavours."And it´s true!
I even got to dance myself ;)
More pictures from the wonderful building HERE. Thanks a lot ladies for this adventure (a new experience for me *blushes*) and I wish you all the luck with your club in the future <3

Louisiana Purchase
Vente de la Louisiane
"Sale of Louisiana") was the acquisition by the United States of America of of the
The U.S. paid 60 million
11,250,000) plus cancellation of debts worth 18 million francs ($3,750,000), a total cost of 15 million dollars for the Louisiana territory.
The Louisiana Purchase encompassed all or part of 14 current U.S. states and two Canadian provinces.
The land purchased contained all of present-day
, parts of
that were west of the
Mississippi River
, most of
North Dakota
, nearly all of
South Dakota
, northeastern
New Mexico
, the portions of
, and
east of the
Continental Divide
, and
west of the Mississippi River, including the city of
New Orleans
(The Oklahoma Panhandle, and southwestern portions of Kansas and Louisiana were still claimed by Spain at the time of the Purchase.) In addition, the Purchase contained small portions of land that would eventually become part of the Canadian provinces of
The purchase, which doubled the size of the United States, comprises around 23% of current U.S. territory. The population was estimated to be 97,000 as of the 1810 census.
The purchase was a vital moment in the presidency of
Thomas Jefferson
. At the time, it faced domestic opposition as being possibly
. Although he felt that the US Constitution did not contain any provisions for acquiring territory, Jefferson decided to purchase Louisiana because he felt uneasy about France and Spain having the power to block American trade access to the port of New Orleans.
Napoleon Bonaparte
, upon completion of the agreement, stated, "This accession of territory affirms forever the power of the United States, and I have given England a maritime rival who sooner or later will humble her pride."
The city of New Orleans controlled the Mississippi River through its location; other locations for ports had been tried and had not succeeded.
New Orleans was already important for shipping agricultural goods to and from the parts of the United States west of the
Appalachian Mountains
Pinckney's Treaty
, signed with Spain on October 27, 1795, gave American merchants "right of deposit" in New Orleans, meaning they could use the port to store goods for export. Americans used this right to transport products such as flour, tobacco, pork, bacon, lard, feathers, cider, butter, and cheese. The treaty also recognized American rights to navigate the entire Mississippi River, which had become vital to the growing trade of their western territories. In 1798 Spain revoked this treaty, which greatly upset Americans. In 1801, Spanish Governor Don Juan Manuel De Salcedo took over for Governor Marquess of Casa Calvo, and the right to deposit goods from the United States was fully restored.
Napoleon Bonaparte
returned Louisiana to French control from Spain in 1800, under the
Treaty of San Ildefonso
(Louisiana had been a Spanish colony since 1762.) However, the treaty was kept secret, and Louisiana remained under Spanish control until a transfer of power to France on November 30, 1803, just three weeks before the cession to the United States.
James Monroe
Robert R.
traveled to
to negotiate the purchase in 1803.
Their interest was only in the port and its environs; they did not anticipate the much larger transfer of territory that would follow.
The original treaty of the Louisiana Purchase.
Jefferson initiated the purchase by sending Livingston to Paris in 1801, after discovering the transfer of Louisiana from Spain to France under the
Third Treaty of San Ildefonso
. Livingston was authorized to purchase New Orleans.
In 1802,
Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours
began to help negotiate with France at the request of Jefferson. Du Pont was living in the United States at the time and had close ties to Jefferson, as well as to the political powers in France. He engaged in back-channel diplomacy with Napoleon on Jefferson's behalf during a visit to France, and originated the idea of the much larger Louisiana Purchase as a way to defuse potential conflict between the United States and Napoleon over North America.
Jefferson disliked the idea of purchasing Louisiana from France as that could imply that France had a right to be in Louisiana. A
strict constructionist
, Jefferson also believed that a U.S. President did not have the authority to make such a deal: it was not specified in the
. He also thought that to do so would erode
states' rights
by increasing federal executive power. On the other hand, he was aware of the potential threat that France could be in that region, and was prepared to go to war to prevent a strong French presence there. Meanwhile, Napoleon's
foreign minister
vehemently opposed to selling Louisiana since that would mean an end to France's secret plans for a North American empire. .
Throughout this time, Jefferson had up-to-date intelligence on Napoleon's military activities and intentions in North America. Part of his evolving strategy involved giving du Pont some information that was withheld from Livingston. He also gave intentionally conflicting instructions to the two. He next sent Monroe to Paris in 1803. Monroe had been formally expelled from France on his last diplomatic mission, and the choice to send him again conveyed a sense of seriousness.
Napoleon was faced with an uprising in
(present-day Republic of
An expeditionary force under his brother-in-law
Charles Leclerc
had tried to re-conquer the territory and re-establish slavery. But
yellow fever
and fierce resistance destroyed the French army.
Napoleon needed peace with
Great Britain
to implement the Treaty of San Ildefonso and take possession of Louisiana.
Otherwise, Louisiana would be an easy prey for Britain or even for the U.S. But in early 1803, war between France and Britain seemed unavoidable. On March 11, 1803, Napoleon began preparing to invade Britain.
Napoleon had failed to re-enslave Haiti; he therefore abandoned his plans to rebuild France's New World empire. Without revenues from sugar colonies in the Caribbean, Louisiana had little value to him. On April 10, 1803 Napoleon told Treasury minister
that he was considering selling the whole Louisiana Territory to the U.S.. On April 11, 1803, just days before Monroe's arrival, Barbé-Marbois offered Livingston all of Louisiana instead of just New Orleans, at a price of $15 million, equivalent to about $ in present day terms.
The American representatives were prepared to pay up to $10 million for New Orleans and its environs, but were dumbfounded when the vastly larger territory was offered for $15 million. Jefferson had authorized Livingston only to purchase New Orleans. However, Livingston was certain that the U.S. would accept such a large offer.
The Americans thought that Napoleon might withdraw the offer at any time, preventing the United States from acquiring New Orleans. So they agreed on April 30, 1803. The treaty was signed on May 2.
On July 14, 1803, the treaty reached
The Louisiana Territory was vast, stretching from the
Gulf of Mexico
in the south to
Rupert's Land
in the north, and from the Mississippi River in the east to the
Rocky Mountains
in the west.
Acquiring the territory would double the size of the United States at a cost of less than 3 cents per acre.
Domestic opposition
The American purchase of the Louisiana territory was not accomplished without domestic opposition. Jefferson's philosophical consistency was in question because of his strict interpretation of the Constitution. Many people believed he was being hypocritical by doing something he surely would have argued against with
Alexander Hamilton
. The
strongly opposed the purchase, favoring close relations with Britain over closer ties to Napoleon, believing the purchase to be unconstitutional, and concerned that the U.S. had paid a large sum of money just to declare war on Spain. The United States House of Representatives also opposed the purchase. Majority Leader
John Randolph
led the opposition. The House called for a vote to deny the request for the purchase, but it failed by two votes 59-57. The federalists even tried to prove the land belonged to Spain not France, but the papers proved otherwise.
The Federalists also feared that the political power of the
Atlantic seaboard
states would be threatened by the new citizens of the west, bringing about a clash of western farmers with the merchants and bankers of
New England
There was concern that an increase in slave holding states created out of the new territory would exacerbate divisions between north and south, as well.
A group of Federalists led by
Timothy Pickering
went so far as to plan a separate northern confederacy, offering Vice President
Aaron Burr
the presidency of the proposed new country if he persuaded
New York
to join.
Burr's relationship with
Alexander Hamilton
, who helped bring an end to the nascent northern secession movement, soured during this period. The animosity between the two men ended with Hamilton's
death in a duel with Burr
in 1804.
Treaty signing
At the Purchase's centennial fair, one illustrator imagined the treaty signing as above.
On April 30, 1803, the Louisiana Purchase Treaty, called by some "the letter that bought a continent", was signed by
Robert Livingston
, James Monroe, and
Barbé Marbois
in Paris. Jefferson announced the treaty to the American people on July 4. After the signing of the Louisiana Purchase agreement in 1803, Livingston made this famous statement, "We have lived long, but this is the noblest work of our whole lives...From this day the United States take their place among the powers of the first rank."The United States Senate ratified the treaty with a vote of twenty-four to seven on October 20; on the following day, it authorized President Jefferson to take possession of the territory and establish a temporary military government. In legislation enacted on October 31, Congress made temporary provisions for local civil government to continue as it had under French and Spanish rule and authorized the President to use military forces to maintain order. Plans were also set forth for several missions to explore and chart the territory, the most famous being the
Lewis and Clark Expedition
France turned New Orleans over on December 20, 1803 at
The Cabildo
On March 10, 1804, a formal ceremony was conducted in
St. Louis
to transfer ownership of the territory from France to the United States.
Effective on October 1, 1804, the purchased territory was
into the
Territory of Orleans
(most of which became the state of Louisiana) and the
District of Louisiana
, which was temporarily under the control of the governor and judges of the
Indiana Territory
The Purchase was one of several territorial additions to the U.S.
The tributaries of the Mississippi were held as the boundaries by the United States. Estimates that did exist as to the extent and composition of the purchase were initially based on the explorations of
Robert LaSalle
A dispute immediately arose between Spain and the United States regarding the extent of Louisiana. The territory's boundaries had not been defined in the 1762
Treaty of Fontainebleau
that ceded it from France to Spain, nor the 1800
Third Treaty of San Ildefonso
ceding it back to France, nor the 1803 Louisiana Purchase agreement ceding it to the United States.
The United States claimed Louisiana included the entire western portion of the Mississippi River drainage basin to the crest of the
Rocky Mountains
and land extending southeast to the
Rio Grande
Spain insisted that Louisiana comprised no more than the western bank of the Mississippi River and the cities of
New Orleans
St. Louis
The relatively
narrow Louisiana
New Spain
had been a special province under the jurisdiction of the
Captaincy General of Cuba
while the vast region to the west was in 1803 still considered part of the
Commandancy General of the Provincias Internas
. Louisiana had never been considered to be one of New Spain's internal provinces.
If the territory included all the tributaries of the Mississippi on its western bank, the northern reaches of the Purchase extended into the equally ill-defined British possession—
Rupert's Land
British North America
, now part of Canada. The Purchase originally extended just beyond the
50th parallel
. However, the territory north of the
49th parallel
including the
Milk River
Poplar River
watersheds was ceded to the UK in exchange for parts of the
Red River Basin
south of
49th parallel
the in the
Anglo-American Convention of 1818
The eastern boundary of the Louisiana purchase was the
Mississippi River
, from its source to the 31st parallel, although
the source of the Mississippi
was then unknown.
The eastern boundary below the 31st parallel was unclear; the U.S. claimed the land as far as the
Perdido River
, and Spain claimed the border of its Florida Colony remained the Mississippi river.
In early 1804, Congress passed the
Mobile Act
which recognized
West Florida
as being part of the United States. The
Treaty with Spain of 1819
resolved the issue. Today, the 31st parallel is the northern boundary of the western half of the
Florida Panhandle
, and the Perdido is the western boundary of Florida.
The southern boundary of the Louisiana Purchase (versus New Spain) was initially unclear at the time of purchase; the Neutral Ground Treaty of 1806 created the
Sabine Free State
during the interim and the
Adams-Onís Treaty
of 1819 began to lay down official dividing lines.
The American government used $3 million in gold as a down payment, and bonds for the balance to pay France for the purchase. Because of the impending war with Britain, French banks would not buy or market the American bonds. The American diplomats Livingston and Monroe therefore recommended the firms of
Baring and Company
of London and
Hope and Company
of Amsterdam for the transaction which France agreed upon. Because of their reputation as the two most stable financial houses in Europe and because Napoleon wanted to receive his money as quickly as possible, the French treasury minister
made arrangements with the two firms to convert the bonds France would receive into cash. After the American bonds had been delivered, the French government then sold them to Baring and Hope at a discount.
The original sales document of the Louisiana Purchase was exhibited in the entrance hall of Baring's London offices until the bank's
collapse in 1995
and is now in the custody of
ING Group
, which purchased Barings.
