abstract:The "Writerly Questions Series" is brought to you courtesy of Random House Canada who partners with BookBuffet. Look for this feature each Monday. The idea is we ask different authors the same set of questions designed to give readers a glimpse into the lives and writing mechanics of authors. It is fascinating to compare and contrast when you check the list to date at bottom. Today's author is Holly LeCraw. Holly lives outside of Boston with her husband, who is a journalist, and three kids. Her short fiction and book reviews have appeared in a range of publications, including the
Edge City Review and the Boston Book Review. Her short fiction was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Though a newcomer as a novelist, she grew up in the book industry. For more information on her newest novel, The Swimming Pool, please visit her website www.hollylecraw.com
1. How would you summarize your book in one sentence?
Its the story of a young man and an older woman who are mourning the same person--his father, who was her lover--and who, to their great surprise, begin an affair of their own, leading to crises and revelations they never could have imagined.
2. How long did it take you to write this book?
I tried not to keep track. Three or four years.
3. Where is your favorite place to write?
Alone on Cape Cod.
4. How do you choose your characters names?
They just come to me and I use them as placeholders, because at the beginning I am always in a hurry; later I go back to change them and theyve affixed themselves to the characters like barnacles, and I cant think of anything better.
5. How many drafts do you go through?
One draft flows into the other, so Im not sure. They arent discrete manuscripts. Four? Five? Twenty? I did do an edit/polish for both my agent, before we submitted, and then my editor.
6. If there was one book you wish you had written what would it be?
Too many to choose from--but on the other hand, I cant imagine writing any books but my own.
7. If your book were to become a movie, who would you like to see star in it?
Hmmm...maybe Robert Pattinson for Jed, and Juliette Binoche for Marcella. We could make her French. [8-20 cont'd]
article:May 17, 2010 —
8. Whats your favourite city in the world?
I would love to spend more time in Florence. I also love London.
9. If you could talk to any writer living or dead who would it be, and what would you ask?
Id like to be at a dinner party with both T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf. I have no idea what Id ask--Id just listen. Good Lord, imagine the banter. It would be nice to see old Tom get a little soused and happy.
I think Id also like to sit at the feet of Walt Whitman. I have the idea that he would be very generous with his encouragement. Id like to watch how someone who wrote that freely and instinctively would move in the world.
10. Do you listen to music while you write? If so, what kind?
11. Who is the first person who gets to read your manuscript?
Probably my husband. Then I have a couple of friends who are very, very smart and whom I completely trust.
12. Do you have a guilty pleasure read?
If I did I wouldnt tell! But I do tend to read things over and over and over. Gatsby, Franny and Zooey, Portrait of a Lady... Thats my comfort food.
13. Whats on your nightstand right now?
Things I am reading for inspiration--not subject matter, but just sheer greatness: The Sea, by John Banville; On Chesil Beach and Atonement, by Ian McEwan; Raise High the Roofbeam, Carpenters, etc. etc.; Swanns Way, which I read very quickly and badly the first time, years ago--and hopefully this time I will read all the rest of Proust too; some D.H. Lawrence, whom I am rediscovering; The Moviegoer, which Im reading for the zillionth time; and Aspects of the Novel, by E.M. Forster. I am reading the chapter on Prophecy over and over. Its my current manifesto.
Also the new edition of The Last Tycoon--which, by the way, they are now calling The Love of the Last Tycoon, which is just not an improvement. I dont care what Fitzgerald wanted. He wanted to call Gatsby Trimalchio in West Egg, so I think we can dismiss his opinion on his own titles. Anyway, it is such a tragedy that book wasnt finished. The bits that weve got are so gorgeous.
14. What is the first book you remember reading?
Jemima Puddle-Duck, in kindergarten. There were probably others before that but I remember that one very clearly. I loved the illustrations. I think I also loved the smallness of the book. It felt good to hold.
15. Did you always want to be a writer?
Off and on, yes. Underneath, always. I just didnt believe I deserved to do something so astounding.
16. What do you drink or eat while you write?
Coffee, tea, water, apples, chocolate. Breakfast, lunch, dinner.
17. Typewriter, laptop, or pen & paper?
First pen and paper, then laptop, then back and forth.
18. What did you do immediately after hearing that you were being published for the very first time?
I cant remember--I was in shock. And it was a weeknight, so I probably just made dinner for my kids. I was trying to be as normal as possible and not freak myself out. One funny thing though. I had been on the phone with my husband all day giving him updates from the auction. The last email I sent him--with what I thought was definitive news that I was going with Doubleday--was apparently so addled that he didnt realize it was final, and so when he came home from work soon after, he didnt say congratulations or anything! I gave him a mulligan on that one, and he very wisely left and came back about fifteen minutes later with champagne and flowers, and when he walked through the door he yelled, Wow! You sold your book!
19. How do you decide which narrative point of view to write from?
I use whichever one is the most organically interesting to me. If I am feeling sluggish when I am writing a scene, sometimes it means I need to switch the point of view to another characters.
I am trying to experiment with voice a little bit with my new book, The Sweetness of Honey. The Swimming Pool was written in very close third, albeit from multiple points of view, and with my new book I am having the urge to lengthen the lens a little bit. But that might be because its early yet and I am still getting to know everyone. I do have a recurring ambition to write something from an omniscient point of view, in a sort of nineteenth-century way.
20. What is the best gift someone could give a writer?

Published Document
Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act"),[1] and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,[2] notice is hereby given that on February 11, 2002, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc. ("Phlx" or "Exchange") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 on March 1, 2002.[3] The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change, as amended, from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to apply a $200 Application Fee to applicants for Equity Trading Permits ("ETPs") who, at the time application is made, are not Exchange members or foreign currency options ("FCO") participants. The Exchange states that it would not charge the $200 ETP Application Fee to ETP applicants who, at the time the application is made, are Exchange members or FCO participants. The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Phlx's Office of the Secretary and at the Commission.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item III below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
On January 9, 2002, the Commission approved a proposed rule change to adopt Exchange Rule 23 which provides for ETPs.[4] The Exchange anticipates commencing an ETP program in the near future. Accordingly, the purpose of the proposed rule change is to amend the Exchange's Schedule of Dues, Fees and Charges, to establish that a $200 ETP Application Fee will be charged to applicants for ETPs who, at the time application is made, are not Exchange members or FCO participants.[5] The Exchange proposes this new ETP application fee to defray the Exchange's administrative costs of review and processing such applications.
Exchange Rule 23(b) provides that ETP holders must meet all qualifications that are required for membership in the Exchange. It provides that applications must be approved by the Exchange, and that applicants who are not Exchange members must be admitted by the Exchange. Exchange Rule 23(b) also states that the admissions process for applicants who are not members of the Exchange will be the same as that required for membership applicants for admission, and that the decision to grant or deny an application for admission will be made by the Admissions Committee. The Exchange noted in its filing proposing Exchange Rule 23, that ETP applicants who are members of the Exchange when they apply for an ETP will have already received a favorable admissions determination by the Exchange's Admissions Committee when they became a member. Consequently, they will not be charged the ETP Application Fee. The Exchange now proposes that a $200 ETP Application Fee apply to ETP applicants who are not members or FCO participants at the time of application in order to defray the administrative costs associated with processing applications made by individuals who have not previously been evaluated by the Exchange as applicants for membership or FCO participation.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with section 6(b) of the Act, [6] in general, and furthers the objectives of section 6(b)(4) of the Act, [7] in particular, by providing for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its members and issuers and other persons using its facilities. Specifically, the Exchange believes that the $200 ETP Application Fee is reasonable and equitable, because it is charged to all ETP applicants who are not members or FCO participants.
In addition, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of section 6(b)(5) of the Act,[8] in that it is designed to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers or dealers. The Exchange believes that application of the $200 ETP Application Fee to ETP applicants who are not members or FCO participants when they apply will defray administrative costs involved in the review and processing of an ETP application when made by an individual with respect to whom this has not previously been done in the Start Printed Page 11739context of an application for a membership or FCO participation.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any inappropriate burden on competition.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others
No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the proposed rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action
The foregoing rule change establishes or changes a due, fee, or charge imposed by the Exchange and, therefore, has become effective upon filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act [9] and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) hereunder.[10] At any time within 60 days of the filing of Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purpose of the Act.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change, as amended, is consistent with the Act. Persons making written submissions should file six copies thereof with the Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609. Copies of the submission, all subsequent amendments, all written statements with respect to the proposed rule change that are filed with the Commission, and all written communications relating to the proposed rule change between the Commission and any person, other than those that may be withheld from the public in accordance with the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be available for inspection and copying at the Commission's Public Reference Room. Copies of such filing will also be available for inspection and copying at the principal office of the Exchange. All submissions should refer to File No. SR-Phlx-2002-12 and should be submitted by April 5, 2002.Start Signature

5.

See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 44213 (April 23, 2001), 66 FR 22058 (May 2, 2001) (SR-Phlx-2001-01). That filing does not address the $200 ETP Application Fee that is proposed here.

European online retail sales grew by 18‰ from 2009 to 2010 and are expected to grow 13‰ in 2011 according to a new report from Forrester Research
Despite a healthy outlook overall for online retail in 2011, there is evidence that many businesses are continuing to lose potential e–commerce revenues at an alarming rate.
Retailers are supporting British pig farmers while keeping prices down for customers.
As National Apprenticeships Week (NAW) comes to an end, the Recruitment and Employment Confederation's (REC) group representing recruiters in the accounting and financial services sector has today emphasised the positive impact apprentices can have on the industry's profile.
REC Legal and HR, the sector group dedicated to supporting legal and HR recruiters, has published a paper highlighting the findings of its recent meeting which analysed the relationship between agencies and HR.
With Scotland bucking the overall UK trend through recording a fall in the number of people out of work, the trade body representing the private recruitment industry has highlighted the need for more help to be given to its increasing numbers of young people.
Following the REC's recent appointment to the Office of Tax Simplification's small business consultative committee, REC member companies met today with the OTS to discuss their views on the IR35 tax rules.
The REC will be staging its second Agency Workers Regulation (AWR) webinar today (February 21) as part of its new Your AWR Advisor campaign for corporate members.
The REC today welcomed Government proposals to open up the range of providers in public services, and highlighted the advantages of using private recruitment agencies instead of in–house staffing banks.

PI Weirdness
When we arrived at the caravan park and checked in, the receptionist told us to drive to the roundabout and go around and come back towards the office and park in front of the cabin.
She drew in the pink line so I knew exactly where to go. The cabin was about twenty metres from the office along a road just wide enough for two cars.
I did it once, but subsequently realised it was just a load of stupid nonsense and I then just drove along the road and turned right, the green line.

Thanks Rosanna. You are a sweetie.
Oh you're really walking on the wild side now Andrew!ReplyDelete

Your home is a great investment, right? But did you know your home loan can be a better place to park spare cash than a savings account?
So you've got some spare cash. Fantastic! Now take a moment to think about what you'll do with the money.
Prevailing wisdom says the cash should be deposited in a savings account. But in today's environment of ultra-low interest rates, that may not be such a money-spinning strategy.
Low returns, fully taxed
Interest rates on savings accounts are exceptionally low at present. You may be able to earn 3% on savings but even that's likely to be a short term offer.
Worse still, interest income is fully taxable. A high income earner could lose almost half any interest earned to the tax man.
Let's crunch some numbers to see just how little you could really earn with a savings account.
We'll say Sue deposits $5,000 into an account paying 3% interest. Over the course of a year, her money will earn approximately $150. However, if Sue is a middle income earner (earning between $37,000 and $80,000 annually), she will pay tax of 32.5% on the interest leaving her with an after-tax return of approximately $101 It's hardly something to get excited about.
Home loans – a money-wise alternative
Happily, there is a more rewarding alternative. Our hypothetical investor Sue could deposit the $5,000 cash into her home loan. Why? Because it's a chance to save more in loan interest than she'll earn with a savings account. And that provides a big opportunity for Sue to forge ahead with her loan.
Let's say Sue's home loan is worth $300,000 with a rate of 3.95%. By depositing $5,000 into the loan, Sue instantly slashes the balance down to $295,000. In the first year alone this can see Sue save around $198 in loan interest – money that goes straight into Sue's pocket, and not the tax man's.
But here's the thing. The savings continue year after year. In fact, if we assume Sue makes that $5,000 lump sum payment in the fifth year of her loan term, she could wipe as much as $8, 219 off
the total loan cost especially if she resists the urge to draw the money back out. That's over $8,000 in money saved, a potentially far better return than Sue could make with many other investments.
What if I need the cash?
Virtually all variable rate home loans come with redraw. So any extra money paid into your loan is always available if it's needed.
The best part is that you don't need a big lump sum of cash to make a decent dent in loan interest charges.
Drip-feeding even small sums into your loan can lead to supersized savings over time.
To understand how your home loan could be a smart place to store savings, check out Aussie's lump sum repayment calculator or speak with your local Aussie broker.

"Chaos is merely order waiting to be deciphered." ___ Jose Saramago, recipient of Nobel Prize for Literature.
When I face chaos, I feel a sadness that stems out from my love to our rich yet chaotic countries. Whether in Lebanon where I come from, or in Cairo where I live, these places are perfect examples for disorder and chaos. They demonstrate a variety of situations that "just don't pass" or as in Lebanese slang "Ma Bte2ta3".
I feel saddened because I know that public order, as trivial as it might seem to some people, is strongly related to the growth and prosperity of one nation. Clearly, both places aforementioned, still have a lot of growing to do.
The bright side of the picture is that if we follow Mr. Saramago, we can have a boost in our faith in these societies and maybe try to shed the light on that "order that is waiting to be deciphered." Let us decipher this hidden order by exposing it!
Today, I will expose our problem with signs. It's either that we don't even see signs, we just don't understand them or we simply choose to ignore them.
I entered a cozy Caireen diner to enjoy dinner with friends. My friend, Malak, was the only non-smoker in the group as she suffers from asthma. We asked the waitress to seat us in the non-smoking area. Few minutes later, Malak looked embittered and before she started coughing, I called the waitress: "I think you have seated us in the wrong area, we clearly asked to sit in the No Smoking area…" To my surprise, she replied assuring us that we're on the right side of the hall but it's just that people there seem to have a problem with signs!
It is frustrating when our partners in the city choose to see the "No Smoking" signs as an invitation to smoke right under them. Are we blind or what? I am talking about Coffee shops with tens of smokers who can be barely seen because of the tobacco clouds. That is not only annoying but also unfair to those who hate the smell of cigarettes or even get harmed by exposing themselves to the smoke.
Next time you see a "No Smoking" sign, make sure to take your lighter and light it in front of the "No" to see it better! Smoking in a "No Smoking" area is just #MaBte2ta3.

Berlin on Instagram - In A Berlin Minute (Week 144)
This week I would like to share with you images from Berlin that I've taken with my phone and published via the social photo app Instagram.

It's only a fraction of the photos I've taken so if you'd like to see more, please follow me: Luciwest. If you can't or don't want to use Instagram, you can check out all photos on http://www.instagram.com/luciwest
Let me know in a comment that you found me via this video and I'll follow you back. Btw, I'm also on EyeEm under the same name and will soon transfer all pictures over.

A little behind-the-scenes note: For almost 3 years I have been shooting, editing and posting a brand new video every week - kind of like a moving postcard from Berlin or Brooklyn - but also a bit of a journal of what I saw or did that week. This week for the first time, I'm publishing a video that I made ahead of time... because I'm currently traveling through Brazil. As I'm posting this I am on the Island Ilha Grande not too far from Rio de Janeiro... and with rather poor Internet connection and without my big laptop. So I decided to make three videos ahead of time to publish while I'm traveling... and then I will bring you 3 videos from Brazil in the following three weeks.

Snack Review
Buy potato chips on Amazon #ad
Taste test: I'm still debating whether a salt and pepper flavor is better on a kettle-style chip or a regular chip.
It's hard to top the Utz Salt & Pepper flavor (a regular chip), but others tell me they like salt and pepper chips on kettle style chip (including the Kettle brand chip). This brand would fall in that category, as these are kettle-style chips with a good amount of salt and pepper flavor on them. The pepper didn't overpower the rest of the chip, so there was a good amount of saltiness, and of course there's a great crunch from the kettle chip. If you like those Kettle-brand chips, you'll end up liking these as well. Archer Farms (and Target) has a winner with these.
Shop: Buy potato chips on Amazon #ad
Smell test: Slight pepper aroma, but not overpowering or harmful to the nostrils.
From the package: "Nothing fancy, everything good, just the way a crisp chip should taste. We make these the old-fashioned, tried and true way: we start with thick slices of potatoes, cook them in kettles in small batches and lightly salt and pepper them by hand. It's that simple. And they're cholesterol-free. Remember to treat yourself to all the other gourmet flavors of Archer Farms Potato Chips."

President Hanlon holds open office hours for students, faculty, and staff. Please check the office hours page for details.
Q and A sessions with President Hanlon and Senior Leaders. Check this page for details.
November 18, 2016
To all students, faculty, and staff,
As our country and our community experience uncertainty during this time of presidential transition concerning possible changes in law and the application of existing laws, I write to affirm strongly principles that are the foundation of our institution, and to declare our commitment to all members of our community regardless of their citizenship.
Faculty and students have this week asked me to assure the safety of undocumented students at Dartmouth, and to assert our resolve to increase diversity and promote inclusiveness on our campus.
Let me stress without reservation that our learning community is enriched by the diverse backgrounds of the women and men who study, teach, and work on our campus. You broaden our understanding of our world and your presence leads to the best educational outcomes for us all. Indeed, many of you have worked hard in the last year to increase diversity at Dartmouth and to make all feel welcome through our Inclusive Excellence initiative.
This commitment is not new. Dartmouth has for years been a strong supporter of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy (DACA), which protects from deportation some undocumented individuals. The College was one of the few universities to file a U.S. Supreme Court friend-of-the-court brief supporting DACA's expansion. Our admissions and financial aid policies do not consider domestic applicants' immigration status.
Once at the College, undocumented students are supported by a dedicated network of faculty and staff, including the office of pluralism and leadership, the undergraduate deans' office, and the office of visa and immigration services.
Undocumented students also receive encouragement and assistance from their peers, including the student group Dartmouth CoFIRED (Dartmouth Coalition for Immigration Reform, Equality, and DREAMers). We are proud of the persistence of CoFIRED students who worked for two years to win a national victory this past March when the Library of Congress agreed to change the way it catalogs holdings that refer to noncitizens, and to stop using the subject heading "illegal aliens." The decision came after more than two years of CoFIRED advocacy, with expert guidance from Dartmouth's library staff.
Today, I have joined other university presidents in signing a statement in support of DACA. We are calling on colleagues and other leaders across business, civic, religious, and nonprofit sectors to join us in this urgent matter. "To our country's leaders we say that DACA should be upheld, continued, and expanded," the statement says. "This is both a moral imperative and a national necessity."
I realize that at this moment, some members of our community feel vulnerable and at risk. Let me assure you that we will work within the bounds of the law to mitigate any effects on our students caused by possible revisions to DACA and other immigration policies.
Thank you to all of the faculty and staff across campus who are supporting students during what for some is a difficult time. As we work together in the final week of the fall term, please look out for one another, listen to one another, and allow the knowledge you have gained here to infuse the kindness and goodwill that you take with you during interim programs and your time at home for the holidays.
Phil Hanlon '77

by Angelina Telatovich
My mother will never let me live down the time I told my nursery teacher I was quitting breastfeeding. We had moved to East Malaysia when I was only a couple of months old, and while my brothers were weaned much earlier than me, my mother felt that it was important for my health in such a foreign environment. At the time, Malaysia was seeing a dramatic increase in infant mortality rates due to gastrointestinal illnesses. Recently introduced satellite TV portrayed western women feeding their babies bottles of white liquid. As a result, Malaysian women in remote areas began to feed their babies mixtures of river water and sago flour to mimic the color of milk. In more urban areas, it was common to see babies fed with canned milk that had been watered down with non-potable water. When formula was introduced to the country, it was usually expired and the lack of a dairy industry meant there was no whey to produce proper formula. Many infant deaths could have been prevented if babies were breast-fed, therefore, the Malaysian Prime Minister mandated that all Malaysian hospitals promote breastfeeding in accordance with the new WHO initiative in 1996. Malaysia was the first country in South East Asia to adopt breastfeeding education in hospitals, and my mother often brought me in to demonstrate to new mothers how a healthy breast-fed baby could look. While Malaysia has improved its breastfeeding rates, rates in Asia-Pacific have dropped from 45% to a shocking 29% in the last six years (Thomson Reuters Foundation 2014).
There is no question that breastfeeding provides babies with important nutrients during a critical period of life. Physiologically, breastfeeding allows the mother to pass antibodies on to her baby, and to line the gastrointestinal tract with important bacteria that protects the baby from foreign pathogens for their entire life. Additionally, a baby that is nourished with breast milk is more likely to be physically stronger and perform better academically than a baby that is not nourished with breast milk (UN News Center 2012). Lastly, breastfeeding has an economic incentive. It is much less expensive to breastfeed than spending money on imported products that are nutritionally inferior.
Despite a movement to become more competitive in an ever-growing global market, many developing countries are experiencing higher burdens of child mortality than ever before. India, for example, experiences the highest burden of child mortality each year from common illnesses such as pneumonia and diarrhea. According to Save the Children, babies are fifteen times less likely to die from these illnesses simply through practicing exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life (Save the Children 2014). The reality is that there are many barriers keeping women from reviving or adopting breastfeeding practices. Many new mothers are not informed about the benefits of breastfeeding. Some cultures even see breastfeeding as dirty or too time-consuming, especially if the mother has to work to help support a family. While education of the benefits of breastfeeding plays a large role, few new mothers in these regions have the resources and encouragement needed to follow through.
What I find to be one of the most tragic influences in the decline of breastfeeding is the aggressive commercial sale of baby formula in developing countries. In 1980, many people in the U.S. boycotted Nestle products after an outcry over mothers who were given free samples of expired Nestle baby formula overseas (New Internationalists 1982). While that was over thirty years ago, the same thing happens to this day. Convinced that these foreign products are the best products to feed their babies, mothers choose not to breastfeed in favor of a western idea that they perceive as a beneficial. However, baby formula powder is not sterile, so when old formula is fed to a baby – especially an immune-compromised baby – there are many health consequences. Despite heightened regulations on formula, there is very little monitoring of areas (particularly rural areas) for compliance. It comes as no surprise, then, that the baby formula industry is worth $25 billion, and it is expected to grow by 31%, largely in Asian-Pacific countries (Save the Children 2014). The big question that remains is are we becoming so market-driven that we are willing to put profit before the livelihood of children? If countries truly want to become more competitive and active in the global community, it may be time to start investing more in the health and safety of future generations. Of course, this is harder in practice than in theory, but it all starts with baby steps.
UNICEF stresses importance of breastfeeding as rates decline in East Asia.

5 Success Principles We Can Learn From Floyd Mayweather
Floyd Mayweather's rags to riches story is one we should admire.
Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather had to overcome many obstacles to earn the right to where he is today, an undefeated world champion in Boxing; from witnessing his dad supplying drugs to his mother, clearly robbed at the 96 Olympics to having numerous criminal convictions.
Floyd: "Hardwork!"
Entourage: "Dedication!"
From his artistic jump rope routine, sharp punches on the speed bag to his renowned mitt work with his Uncle Roger. Floyd Mayweather is arguably one of the best athlete's in the world.
Love him or loathe him, the numbers don't lie. According to Forbes Magazine, Floyd topped 'The World's Top 20Highest-Paid Athletes' in 2014, beating the likes of Christiano Ronaldo (Spanish Football), Lebron James (Basketball), Roger Federer (Tennis), without the advantage of representing a mainstream sport and sponsorships.
Many great boxers have tried to unlock the blueprint to annihilate the self proclaimed 'TBE' (The Best Ever). All 47 have failed.
A smart boxing practitioner, Floyd has proven time and time again, he can always adapt to his opponent by displaying his skillful defense, followed by vigorous counter punching.
5 Success Principles We Can Learn From The Champ:
1. Mastery
Dominating the sport of boxing for over 15 years takes some serious delayed gratification. From a very young age, Mayweather had consistently made choices which limits the ability of getting something quick, for the path of being able to achieve something bigger and better.
Backed by his desirable work ethics as though he never gets tired, he can spend the early unpredictable hours in a fitness gym, before tearing down the heavy bag with over 10,000 punches the following day.
'Do you think I gave up my whole life just to say there's someone better than me out there? Absolutely not.' – Floyd Mayweather
2. Self Resilience
Mayweather picked up a bronze medal at the 96 Olympics in Atlanta, after a controversial lose against a Bulgarian boxer, Serafim Todorov. Also at the beginning of his professional career, he was without his trainer and father Floyd Mayweather Senior who was imprisoned for drug trafficking.
Many obstacles could off halted the champ's success, yet he managed to come out on top.
Although known to have a 'big mouth', Floyd never fails to back it up from setting the three biggest non-heavyweight pay-per-view events in the sport's history to defeating undefeated champions (at the time), most notably Ricky Hatton.
Mayweather Vs Hatton fight:
In one interview, a subject was brought up about his unfair demands before inking a fighting deal. Without hesitating, Mayweather spilled out a reminder on how he (as the underdog) respected whatever Oscar De La Hoya requested before their match up back in 06.
The interviewer swiftly moved on, reminiscing the aftermath.
3. Gratitude
On camera, Mayweather never forgets to mention how thankful he is to God, family and friends, and acknowledges his success all comes down to his loyal team.
Run a search on a lot of other boxers today, and you'll likely find the amount of trainers, hand wrap specialists, strength and condition coaches they've dumped and moved on from over the years.
"Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance." – Eckhart Tolle
Although he may be the celebrity in the camp, Floyd is open to invest time and money for his people, if they're up for exploring entrepreneurial opportunities in their own rights.
"Floyd Mayweather must love himself first, before I can love anyone else."
4. Freedom
A man brought up with the love of money, influenced by his father who used to bring home hard chunks of cash from street dealing, Mayweather is never shy of exposing his daily spendings and wins from gambling.
However, being smarter with his investmens, he's aware of the amount of boxers and other athletes out there who eventually become broke, even after earning over 8 figures in their sport.
He broke the rules. Deciding he no longer wanted to have someone above him making the decisions, he left Top Rank and started up his own company, Mayweather Promotions. A risk many boxers wouldn't dare to step in, Floyd hired a smart businessman (Al Hayman) to plan out strategic moves.
Thankfully it's paid off. Every fight announced, Mayweather is in control of the finance. He takes 100% of the revenue, continues to build a reputation for his promotions and he is even in charge of paying his opponent.
From this, he's managed to leverage and monetise his ever-growing business portfolio (Filthy Rich music records & The Money Team clothing).
5. Law of Attraction
The intention was never to seek external validation. Floyd's successful career attracted Hollywood actors, rock stars and billionaires…most notably, Warren Buffett, the richest investor in the world who visited the Mayweather gym in Vegas.
It's not a surprise these days to see an A-list actor like Eddie Murphy show up just to catch a glimpse of the champ working his craft. For once, it's a great chance for celebrities to be out of the lime out.
It's not bragging and boasting, the proof is in the pudding.
I'm a big fan of Pacquiao, but I have to say Mayweather should have it in the bag. There's a ton of pagans who will never respect the undefeated champion but will certainly be curious about this incredible match up. Even people all over the world who aren't boxing fans are ecstatic about this.
Let's see what happens on May 2nd!
Who are you picking?

That is true my friend but do not only criticize his incivility you can go to him face to face and correct him,because he cannot be corrected until he hears your voice.@Geoffrey.
This post made me see another side of Mayweather, so thank you! But to answer your question: I am betting Pacquiao will defeat him. Let's see what happens on May 2nd!
But i bet you may-weather will win as he is going to fight on may so the may weather(temperature)will help him,i mean the nature of the weather in may.@luna darcy
Good post to draw inspiration.
I love these reviews of successful people, as they all seem to be relentlessly determined to succeed and win. And there's something about it that stokes a fire in me.
Thanks for sharing.
I understand that this article is based on his professional success, but he has has issues with the law and many claims of domestic abuse. Money and glory do not overshadow basic civility towards other humans in my opinion. I would rather read about someone poor who treats women with respect than waste my time on him.

WATCH: Brock Osweiler says Texans on 'cusp of doing something great'
The Brock Osweiler era may have ended in the third quarter of the Broncos' final regular-season game, against San Diego. But the curtain officially closed Wednesday, when Osweiler signed a four-year, $72 million contract with the Houston Texans.
Hours after agreeing to a contract that caused jaws to drop — even those of other quarterbacks — Osweiler arrived in Houston and spoke with local media about his decision.
Osweiler "I want to contribute to this team in a positive manner. I couldn't b more excited. This is a great organization I want 2b part of"
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) March 10, 2016
Osweiler "I'm excited to meet the coaches and ownership and get to work in the spring. My biggest deal is I want to do my job."

We love the flexibility of being able to manage the operating hours. It's also super convenient that we don't have to staff it with lifeguards. On hot, busy days we have someone there to oversee the pad, but that's it.— Chris Kendal, Aquatics Supervisor, Cleveland Heights
Ohio, USA
When the town of Cleveland Heights in Ohio needed an alternative to their old paddling pool in Cain Park, they turned to Vortex for a budget-friendly retrofit. In order to decrease the significant cost investments and high water demands of the existing toddler pool, as well as add a new and exciting attraction for the community, the municipality opted to install a Vortex Spraypoint® in its place.
We are saving money on water cost per year from what we had. Before we were filling and dumping along with treating the water every day. This Splashpad has eliminated all of those man hours and maintenance.— Chris Kendal, Aquatics Supervisor, Cleveland Heights
Ohio, USA
With 21 different features, including ground sprays and above ground components, the new Spraypoint® is divided into three bays to cater to all ages and abilities. At the entrance, the family bay features a water tunnel made up of tall green misting leaves. Following that, the toddler bay includes low-to-ground amenities like a frog, crab and magic mists, which allow younger children to interact with the water on their own terms. For older children, the teen bay includes more interactive amenities like umbrella twirls, a snake, and Bamboo features to allow users to manipulate the flow of water.With water flowing at an impressively low 55 gallons/minute, water and sewer savings were immediate upon installation. Though water dispersion is controlled in this flowthrough play area, the Spraypoint® is programmed with a short water sequence to give the illusion that the whole pad is active at once.
It's been well received by the community and we've seen a steady attendance increase – it definitely gets more attention than what we had previously.— Chris Kendal, Aquatics Supervisor, Cleveland Heights
Ohio, USA
Additionally, with the Smartpoint water management system housed in the drain, the conversion was simple and required no external space or further infrastructure.Easy to maintain and budget friendly, the new Spraypoint® has proved popular with the community, breathing new life into Cain Park and drawing crowds.

All I do is point it at people." Dilbert asks, "Then what does it do?" Dogbert asks, "Why would it need to do anything else?"

Ceiba is a practice that provides preparation, integration, and aftercare coaching services in support of therapeutic and spiritual experiences with iboga and ibogaine. I have over 10 years of experience working with people going through ibogaine experiences in a variety of settings, as well as extensive personal experiences with iboga and ibogaine treatment.
My work is designed to provide a consistent, supportive, and knowledgeable therapeutic relationship for the duration of your existing treatment plan. I help my clients to clarify goals, navigate the profound transformations that ibogaine can bring about, and to create a clear plan for how to approach life afterwards.
I provide one-on-one coaching services for:
Ibogaine-Assisted Detox
Ibogaine is unparalleled in its capacity to interrupt physical dependency to opioids and other drugs. Even as a short-term detox it is at least as effective as many conventional inpatient programs of 30-days or longer, although many people describe the relief of not struggling through constant cravings as unique to Ibogaine's post-treatment effects. That said, ibogaine is not a 'cure' by any measure. Both my own experience and the published observational research suggests that establishing a support system and accessing other resources after treatment can strongly support your goals.
My work is not based on a philosophy that all people with substance use issues are the same or that there is only one method to working through these issues. I see each person as having a unique set of experiences, goals, and ways of viewing the world. My approach utilizes the principles of harm reduction, working with you where you are, understanding the goals that you define. Once the detox phase is over, there is an opportunity to re-discover passions, develop various practices, and to build a supportive network that sees you as more than a diagnosis or your day count. This process is also about recovering a capacity to be intimate with the world through play, through grief, through joy, and through all kinds of creative expression.
My approach to substance use issues takes into consideration both bio-psycho-social and transpersonal models. I help to educate about the nature of problematic substance use and attachment as a way of understanding our valuable and sensitive connection to the world. I see that ibogaine treatment, if its approached with a clear intention, with preparation, and a defined plan for afterward, brings a great deal more ease and possibility.
Psychospiritual Experiences
Regardless of why you are approaching iboga or Ibogaine, the experience is quite different from any other medicine or spiritual practice. Whether or not you are coming from a place of secure attachment to the modern world, to family, or to your cultural roots, the Ibogaine experience can propel you into new states of mind and new ways of living, which are especially noticeable in the days and weeks that follow treatment. This period of neuroplasticity is valuable in building new habits and a new relationship with your body, your mind, and your surrounding world. Depending on factors like dose and set and setting, we can continue to relate to these effects for years to come, through different challenging and empowering phases.
Outside of some of the content of our discussions, there is little difference in our coaching sessions whether you are or aren't using substances, because drug use and diagnosis is not my focus. I believe that we are all in a process of learning and growing of one kind or another and that the healing process is not linear. The ibogaine experience reaches deeper than any other particular way I have found to soothe and work through our suffering, touching on our most sensitive attachments to the world whether we have used substances or not.
My approach to psychospiritual transformations is informed by both somatic (body-oriented) and transpersonal approaches. I aim to help people to take a long-term frame of reference to understand their experiences, and to help integrate these new realizations about the complex and animated living world that we inhabit, ancestral traditions, and dreams.
Orientation Call
- Schedule a complimentary orientation call.
- This is appropriate after you have made plans or you have been in touch with providers and have serious options to consider.
- We will talk about your background and your treatment plans, and discuss whether we feel we could support your experience.
Single Session
- If you have specific questions or want to work session-by session; for example:
- If you are planning to go through traditional initiation in West Africa (coaching is still recommended, but we will accept less time);
- If you are a counselor or medical professional with clients undergoing treatment.
Coaching Package
- Our recommendation. Includes once or twice weekly calls spread before and after treatment.
- The best results come from planning for the full journey, which is much longer than the time you spend at the clinic.
- Approach your treatment with a realistic and well directed intention, a plan for afterwards, and a well informed support network.
- We will work with you to prepare for the treatment mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
- Support for navigating the rapid change and insight that open up after treatment.
- Recommendations for continuing care.
- Additional sessions for you or loved ones who are supporting your treatment at the same rate.
Intensive Coaching
- Negotiable rates for regular on-call support.
- Ideal for people who need daily support surrounding their treatment.
- Also ideal in some other circumstances, such as coaching through microdosing protocols that require further education and regular monitoring.
- All of our services are by application only, but we have a very limited capacity for intensive coaching.
All rates are listed in US$.

This Is My Symphony
January 24, 2009
The book which I'm currently working on is called "Symphony." It's a fantasy — not all dragons and elves, but it's pretty detailed. It opens up the world so that it's in "layers," or different dimensions, each with their own customs and whatnot which, in turn, affect the characters. Speaking of which, the main characters are Aiden D'esparis, Kana Marianne, Amaya Kumori and Seth. (Seth's lack of a last name is on-purpose, of course. I didn't get lazy. Really. >.>;)
I chose the name "Symphony" because a symphony is made up of people — different people, who play instruments which don't sound the same, yet… they can still come together, despite those differences, and tell a beautiful tale. And it's the characters who make a story worth reading, right? I'm focusing a lot on characteral developement for this novel — giving myself a chance to brush up on my dialouge-writing skills and whatnot.
As for the characters, I guess I should talk about them! x3
(yes, I know. I have MAD tablet skillz.)
First up is… Aiden. Aiden, Aiden, Aiden. xDD He's incredibly unconventional. I'm REALLY proud of him, because his personality isn't suitable for a "hero" at all. He's got a short fuse, glares at everyone and everything, is horribly violent and, in a nutshell, comes across as a complete dick. But since I want my characters to be as real as possible, he obviously has several different sides to him. As the story progresses, he tends to get a bit… dorky, so to speak — and he jokes around a fair bit. He's actually very emotional, and if you read between the lines of his dialouge and actions, you can pretty much see "The Real Aiden." His backstory is that he's "The Chosen One" of his dimension — but something goes terribly wrong, and his powers don't seem to activate. This, of course, was a circumstance beyond his control… yet, people of his dimension freak out and eventually he developes a reputation as a "demon," who was trying to lead the world to ruin. After living under this pressure for a long time, Aiden finally snapped. He denies being "The Chosen" altogether now, and was able to travel to Pandora's dimension. He doesn't plan on turning back and going home, either — to him, "Home" doesn't exist.
Kana is an innocent, sweet, yet cursed girl. She was born with the curse of misfortune, meaning that she has horrible luck and everyone who comes into close contact with her ends up getting injured — or negatively affected in some way. At first, only small things happened — like her friend's bracelet snapping — but as Kana grew, so did the intensity of the curse. The event which pushed her off the edge was when the guy she was seeing, whose name I'm going to change, got into an "accident." Whether he survived or not is something which is revealed later on in the book — Kana refuses to talk about it. Kana is pretty spacey, and, like I said, innocent — but I've planned out a few scenes where she shocks everyone with her knowledge on… erm… "certain subjects."
I decided against Kana's curse affecting her physical self. Kana's the type of girl who cherishes her friends and loved ones more than herself — if the curse affected her, then it wouldn't…hurt her as much, so to speak. It's a bit complicated, but it makes sense to me. xD; It's like… she loves them, but she's afraid of being with them because she doesn't want them to get hurt. I think them getting hurt will, in turn, hurt Kana even more — especially since she would know that it was her fault.
Amaya is…well, I haven't planned her out as much. She's the hardcore member of the group. She's tall, lean, and kickass. (The small, chibi-esque sketch doesn't do the character design which I've conjured up in my head justice). She's an assassin from her village and takes direct orders from the Chief of it. Amaya is also unconventional, she does what she wants when she wants to do it… she's straight-forward and doesn't take any b.s. from anyone. I think Amaya is based on the person I want to be, actually. xD; Her backstory is still in construction — she joins Kana, Aiden and Seth a bit later on though.
Seth is my love. He was the first member of the group who I ever wrote about. I remember it so clearly — during Winter Break, I was listening to Castle On The Hill from the Edward Scissorhands soundtrack. I sat down and just typed up a scene which fit the melody — Seth's "prelude", the opening scene. Before I knew it, ideas were flowing. Danny Elfman's work inspired me to name my novel Symphony.
Anyway. Seth is basically a mystery. Technically, he's dead. The "antagonist" of the story killed him right as the story began — however, Pandora was able to revive him. The process itself is a lot more complicated, and it'll make more sense when you actually sit down and read the actual thing… but yeah. Seth has a strange, naive character. He's very unpredictable and tends to worry a lot — very caring, and he tries his best. xD; His backstory and purpose for being IN the story are both really complex, I think a bit too complex — I'll have to narrow it down. But, yes. Seth's soul is living in a medium, which is his "corpse" — except, it's not a corpse, since it's actually functioning as a proper body. It's not perfect, though (JEEZ, SO MANY CONTRADICTIONS) and sometimes it randomly shuts down and he goes into a "doll-like state." On the other hand, he can also go into a "supreme state", where he is pretty much unstoppable and can destroy anything in his way. o.o;
The story focuses on 2 "sides". One is that of Pandora, the eccentric magician who's character is WAY too much fun to write, and the other is of the "antagonist" who currently lacks a name. xD; Both are after a box with tons of power — its possesion runs in Pandora's family (i.e: Pandora's Box). This box has the power to do all sorts of things which fit into the story and various events in it.
Pandora, herself, is a LITTLE bit like Yuuko from xxxHolic, but the two of them are actually very different. Pandora is less serious, for one — though she has her moments. She's bombastic and silly, yet she's one of the most powerful characters to be introduced in the entire storyline.
Honestly, I wanted to write something which could be made into a video game. I KNOW, SHOOT ME NOW. xD But I wanted it to be a good story, too — since good games always have very interesting storylines. The characters feel like my children, which is sort of strange (since all of them are older than me, ahaha), but still cool. =] As of today, the book is 23 pages long on Verdana, size 9. I took a break from writing because of exams — but I plan on resuming soon, though. I'm hoping I can tell this story to the very end! My goal is to make it as fun and casual to read as possible — whilst still making it a deep, interesting and EPIC story, which one could analyze if they wanted to. Wish me luck, I'll definitely need it. o.o;

On December 14, 2013, the wildly popular charity event known as the "Reno Santa Crawl" saw thousands of locals and tourists donning their Santa Regalia and "Supporting the Claus." Reno has hosted the Santa Crawl for the past 8 years and 2013 may have been the largest crowd ever. The event serves as an excellent fundraiser, giving all the proceeds to help local schools. The Reno Santa Crawl has inspired similar Santa Crawls all across the country, one as far away as Massachusetts.
Along with the Reno Santa Crawl, the city also hosted the Great Santa Dash, a 5k run/walk which earned participants over the age of 21 a free Santa Crawl cup for joining. The 5k run/walk began at Wingfield Park in Reno around 10 a.m. All proceeds went to support the AIY Foundation, the charitable portion of Athlete in You, LLC.
For people who preferred to ski in their Santa suit instead of running or walking, there was a companion event at Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe, featuring a day of discount skiing and partying. The full Santa suit or other holiday costume was necessary to earn the discount. Simply sporting the Santa hat didn't cut it.
The Santa Crawl charity event's continued success has more to do with the generally festive atmosphere found in Reno than any other factor. While still a world class vacation destination, with luxury hotels, fine dining, a 24/7 night life and the best entertainers from around the world, Reno retains the small town feel and charm unavailable in bigger, more sprawling cities. The people who live and work in Reno, from the mayor to the newest busboy, seem to instinctively understand how important it is to make everyone -visitors and locals alike- feel welcome and included.
Reno has spawned Crawl Culture, with Wine Walks and Crawls for almost every holiday and season. There is a Zombie Crawl, a Superheros vs. Villains Crawl, a Leprechaun Crawl and a host of similar events scheduled throughout the year. These are in addition to nationally known events like Hot August Nights and the Reno Air Races.
The Reno Santa Crawl officially ended at midnight, but dozens of After Arch Parties went on until almost sunrise. The traditional Photo Under the Arch was slated for 10 p.m., instead of midnight this year. The Santa Crawl officials wanted to have the most participants possible, while ensuring that the local businesses which supported the event could maintain their own celebrations. Not every Santa costume provides as much protection from the cold as others.
Over 80 local bars and casinos participated in the Santa Crawl charity event this year, donating their Crawl proceeds to education. Hotel rooms were made available for last minute arrivals, with proceeds for Santa Crawl guests going to charity as well.
Total numbers for those participating in all the activities won't be tallied for a few days, but one eye witness, local businessman and candidate for mayor, Eddie Lorton, estimated that it was the largest Santa Crawl crowd he had ever been a part of. The Reno Santa Crawl charity event will continue on for as long as it remains successful. Which is to say, far into the future.

|I didn't grow ANY of this. But I'm going to!
I don't know if having to think about the Fall garden right now is a relief or just plain mean!
We are in one of the hottest stretches of weather this week and next...over 100 degrees for days in a row then "cooling off" into the high 90's. I have been resisting the urge to complain about summer because, honestly, it's been pretty darn mild. So I was trying not to jinx it! But regardless of the high temperatures, it's time to start thinking about that Fall garden.
We got a late start on our Fall garden last year. It was the first time we had even tried planting anything to grow during the winter. We grew broccoli, chard and collards. I wanted kale but the big box store didn't have any. So I settled for collards. We ate the broccoli and the chickens ate the rest. But this year I plan on being better about "shopping" my backyard. I will find some good recipes for greens to have handy and when the food is ready, we will eat it. (That's the plan, anyway!)
You know, learning to live on what you eat and grow in your own yard takes some getting used to. Making the switch to locally grown, locally raised, non-processed foods is a process. For a long while I read and read and read and gathered a ton of information. Maybe too much, really...no processed foods, no chemicals for cleaning, all glass storage, grow your own, buy local, save money, grass fed, free-range, make your own fill in the blank.
Honestly, it got to be a bit overwhelming. Reading blogs was inspiring...but it also got to be a bit frustrating. I couldn't keep up. I couldn't do it all. How come "everyone else" could do it ALL but I kept running to the store for bread, detergent, meat containing pink slime, fish sticks, Clorox spray and mac and cheese in a box?
I'm a creature of habit it seems. I was raised using modern conveniences. And forming new habits is proving to be easier said than done.
It wasn't realistic for me to think that I was going to bake ALL of our bread using whole wheat flour that I grew and ground myself. Or preserve ALL of our food that I grew from organic seed. Or make every single cleaning supply using vinegar and orange peels. You get the idea.
I finally had to take a step back and put things in perspective. I decided that I would do what I could, what I enjoyed and what was feasible for my family. Then I could slowly learn the rest and apply what worked for us.
All of that to say...here's what I'm going to plant in the next week or so and hopefully we'll eat it!
- beets
- bush beans
- broccoli
- cabbage
- radishes
- kale
- onions
- garlic
- shallots
- sunflowers
(Oh...and by the way...I just sprinkled some homemade carpet fresh on my carpet. Baking soda and essential oil in a mason jar. Shake. Let sit for a few minutes. Sprinkle over carpet using a sieve.)
