Agartala, Oct 2 (IANS) Journalists in Tripura on Monday held an hour-long sit-in here demanding a CBI probe into the murder of local television journalist Santanu Bhowmik on September 20.
Eleven journalists' organisations, led by Tripura Newspaper Society President Subal Kumar Dey, held the demonstration in front of Mahatma Gandhi's statue near Raj Bhavan on the Mahatma's 148th birth anniversary.
They vowed to continue the agitation until the state government asks the Central Bureau of Investigation to inquire into the killing.
"Before and after the killing of journalist Santanu Bhowmik, there has been negligence on the part of Tripura Police. If the CBI probes the killing, the truth would come out," Dey said while addressing the demonstration.
Deputy Inspector General of Police (Southern Range) Arindam Nath told IANS that so far three people, including main accused Sachin Debbarma, have been arrested for the killing of the 28-year-old journalist, who went to Mandai (35 km north of here) to cover the violent activities of a tribal party.
Meanwhile, a Special Investigative Team (SIT), constituted by the state government to probe the killing, has already started its inquiry.
The five-member SIT is headed by senior IPS officer Inspector General of Tripura State Rifles and Training G.S. Rao.
The other members of the SIT are IPS officer and Deputy Inspector General (CID) Uttam Majumder, Additional Superintendent of Police Kishore Debbarma, Deputy Superintendent of Police (CID) Prithwish Bhattacharjee and Inspector Nityananda Majumder.
Police said 29-year-old Jiban Debnath, driver of a private vehicle, was still missing since September 20 and a search was on for him.
A journalist of a Delhi-based newspaper had hired the private vehicle to visit Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council headquarters at Khumulwng along with a local guide.
Police, quoting the FIR, said members of the Indigenous People's Front of Tripura attacked them and set the vehicle afire. While the journalist and his guide reported to the police on September 21, the driver continues to remain missing.

Shih Tzu Puppies
So often absorbed with work the stresses of life, it is easy to forget the little things that can make everyday life more pleasurable; and by "little things" we are referring to unbelievably cute little fur balls! Want to take some time away from all that arduous stress to look at Shih Tzu Puppies? Ya, we enjoy that now and then too!
More Than Just an Adorable Face!
These adorable little creatures are entertaining as well as amusing, but their fuzzy little faces and funny personalities certainly steal the show! These puppies are often described as "so cute they shouldn't even exist", and it may be of interest to you that their personalities are just as entertaining and adorable as their furry little faces!
The breed originally hails from China, where they were kept as palace pets for royalty, most notably the Dowager Empress Tzu His. Shih Tzu were considered to be sacred, and there is evidence that the breed was originally developed by Tibetan Monks and given as gifts to the Chinese. Though the exact age of the breed is unknown, depictions of Shih Tzu are present in ancient tapestries.
If you ever get the chance to bring one of these sweet little dogs into your home, you will notice why they were so preferred by Chinese royalty. It is almost as if they were born to make you laugh, each one possessing a unique personality, sprinkled with typical, cute Shih Tzu traits. However, you will also notice that they generally have a royal "air" about them at all times, although some exude this more than others.
Most Shih Tzu owners will agree that despite they don't mind, their Shih Tzu has become a very important part of their family, and tend to run the house to some degree. Shih Tzu are generally very appreciative of attention and are aware of consideration taken on their behalf, so it is really easy to let them do so!
This little chocolate Shih Tzu puppy has grown into a beautiful adult who, among other perks, enjoys getting his Christmas presents every year, waiting patiently on the couch to receive the gift he seems to know is under the tree! As you can tell, it is easy for Shih Tzu to become a big part of your life, and enhance your lifestyle.
Despite their reputation for being a bit difficult to train Shih Tzu are a perfect pet for families, with the added bonus of being hypoallergenic and non-shedding, most have excellent temperaments that work well with children.

As much as we might not like to admit it in this age of ubiquitous interconnectedness, the geographical origin of any given artist still figures significantly into the exposure they receive. Case in point: "Voices of Eternity" is the self-released third full-length album by Blood & Iron from Bangalore (formerly Chennai), India, which I only found out about on account of the involvement of Giles Lavery, the singer from Australia's Dragonsclaw. It seems patently obvious to me that if Blood & Iron hailed from Germany or Sweden, they would already be reaping the benefits of a deal with an AFM or a Cruz Del Sur and be competing for cover space on Terrorizer and Zero Tolerance with the likes of Enforcer or White Wizard. That they are virtually invisible instead is a testament to the fact that social media and digital distribution still have a long way to go before they fulfill their full potential to make genuine talent visible to the masses.
Certainly I can't think of any other reason the international metal community would let Ashish Shetty and his crew languish in obscurity, because Christ, "Voices of Eternity" is exactly what the doctor ordered. An honest, back-to-basics heavy metal record as simple as it is elegant. With only three "central" members (Shetty and Vikram Bains on guitars, Praveen on drums – Lavery's vocals are the most significant of a handful of guest contributions), Blood & Iron's approach is one we desperately need more of in 2013. Uncluttered by overproduction or overreaching progressive conceits, they rely on a rare method to get results: writing great songs. It may be circular reasoning to say "Voices of Eternity" is good because it's good, but damn if that isn't the case. For all that it's infectious and accessible, the more I listen to it, the greater my appreciation for the level of care and attention that has been spent on seemingly simple or obvious songwriting choices. Just how perfectly phrased is this melody, how seamless is that transition. The songs flow like water and run like clockwork, the hallmark of exceptionally well-written pop music – and make no mistake, heavy metal with this kind of accessible appeal is pop music of a sort.
Blood & Iron take their cues from several obvious points of reference – Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Judas Priest, classic Fates Warning, the usual suspects, although thankfully absent is the nostalgia for the 80s that consigns many European retro-metal acts to immediate obsolescence. If there's one contemporary act they particularly call to mind, it's the Australian group Lord, albeit with a preference for medium tempos. They use a comparable crunchy, no-frills guitar tone and Lavery's intonations are similar to those of Tim Grose; more importantly, like Lord, Blood & Iron have an appreciation for the songwriting that made the aforementioned acts objects of adulation in the 80s as well as the stylistic tropes. An ideal balance is struck between pulverising riffs and soaring leads. Verse / chorus structures are invoked, but suffused with enough variation that they remain lively and dynamic.
Elements like vocal layering, keyboard embellishment and clean guitar interludes are consistently deployed in exactly the right places to be most dramatically effective. Where so many contemporary metal albums concern themselves with bludgeoning the listener relentlessly, Shetty expertly wields the principles of tension and release. Listen to the way the second chorus of "Your Own Voice" bleeds effortlessly into a melancholy bridge before roaring back up into a thunderous solo. Listen to the way the gang-shouts alternate and coalesce with the high screams in "Legion." Listen to how the reflective intro to "Path Not Taken" segues into a punch, power-chord laden chorus hook. Blood &Iron do so much right that I can only illustrate it by cherry picking examples.
With all this praiseworthy craftsmanship on display, it only sweetens the deal that "Voices of Eternity" should contain such excellent individual performances as well. The guitar work of Shetty and Bains often recalls that of Jim Matheos – there were a few moments during the duelling solos in "Underground Rebellion" in particular which called to mind Fates Warning's "No Exit" – but I mean that only as a compliment. Their playing is tremendously organic, if that makes any sense – at times flowing, at others choppy, but always with a natural feel for the groove and rhythm of the song. I've previously enjoyed Lavery's vocals in Dragonsclaw, but his work here is at an even higher standard, more disciplined and measured without compromising one iota of power. On the strength of the evidence here, I reckon he could hold his own alongside genre greats like Russell Allen or Nils Patrik Johansson.
When reviewing works like "Voices of Eternity" which are so firmly rooted in established conventions, the traditional platitude to use in lieu of higher praise is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I think in this instance, that aphorism undersells Blood & Iron's accomplishments. Whatever "it" is, it has been broke recently and Blood & Iron have fixed it. It's an immaculately rendered beast of a heavy metal album that doesn't rely on gimmickry, doesn't subsist on nostalgia for better days and doesn't disappear up its own arse. It isn't weighed down by pomposity and it eschews the safety net of ironic detachment; as a result, it flies all the higher. It's exactly what 2013 needed, and anyone with an emotional investment in classic metal owes it to themselves to check this one out.

02) Your Own Voice

Russia's 2018 presidential elections are rapidly approaching and Vladimir Putin has some, at least nominal, competition. The election committee has registered eight total candidates for the the March 18 vote.
Why it matters, from Axios' Steve LeVine: This election won't be competitive, but it could be Putin's last and he needs a big finish to burnish his legacy as a modern-day czar. Putin depends on the support of the Russian people and is trying to put the uprising in 2012 behind him. In his current term, Putin has relied on the fumes of nationalism and xenophobia to buttress his popular support and put the relatively minor uprising in 2012 behind him. Expect him to pivot, possibly toward serious domestic challenges, ahead of his next, and possibly final, 6-year term.

How much do you love playing your favorite video games? Are you really good at FIFA or Counter Strike and feel you have a natural gift for it?
Earlier, a degree and experience were most necessary to get a good paying job. But now the scenario seems to have completely changed and you don't need any qualification to even earn millions.
We can say this confidently as many teens are making their video games and earning six figure incomes without any college degree. Some teens also earn handsomely not by making video games, but just by playing them!
Sounds surprising? Let's get into the details a bit so that the picture is clear to you!
Now people are ready to pay out of their pockets to get a seat in the stadium where they can see a multiplayer video game match. Pro gamers take on the gaming rigs and compete with one another while the crowd watches in excitement.
And the prizes of the eSports tournaments are huge- Dota 2 has surpassed all records for seven years with their prize pool. The International 7 tournament had a prize pool of $24.6 million which is biggest in history.
Next comes the League of Legends 2016 World Championship with prize pool of $5 million. The majority of the prize money is collected from the sale of tickets and rest from sponsors and advertisements. In the end, the teens get huge cash awards which make them millionaires.
Another way teens are earning money is by making video games. The rise of internet has made it possible to share anything around the globe and the case is same with video games. Some platforms like Roblox allow children to publish their creations giving them a huge audience base.
The 18 year old Andrew Bereza, creator of the Miner's Haven and Azure Mines is earning six figure incomes every year after he has released the games. He uses the money to pay for his university and follow his dream of becoming a full time game developer.
We can also cite the example of another 18 year old from North Carolina called Alex Balfanz. He contributed to the development of the game Jailbreak which crossed the mark of one billionth players recently. In 10 months the game has been released, it has earned seven figure profits consistently.
The video game industry generated $36 billion last year and holds a promising opportunity for anyone who can play or make games. You don't need a college degree to submit the game or any credentials to prove your worth as a player. Anyone can join the trend if they are up for it and the challenges- it may sound easy but in reality there are several issues to address.
Here is the thing - if you can attract audience or get others to play your game, you are in for some great profits. The question is, do you have it in you to be a professional gamer?

Carl Rogers' Humanist Psychology
There are plenty of theories of personality in psychology. But it's worth pointing out that they all have common core concepts, points where their ideas and focuses intersect. And if you just do a small review of that whole variety of interesting theories, Carl Rogers' will stand out. His theory and his positive vision brought a necessary change to psychotherapy.
The passive, deterministic vision emphasized so much by psychoanalysis and behavioralism got left behind by the humanist psychology of the man people see as the most influential psychotherapist of all time. What he talked about instead was human freedom. He emphasized our ability to move forward and build a better world. He encouraged us to take responsibility for ourselves, and open ourselves up to experience. He thought we could do this with undirected therapy that help us gain more self-knowledge.
Carl Rogers' humanist psychology actually had a very important, concrete goal: to make it easier to help. In fact, after World War II, he himself offered to give psychological help to all the soldiers who became crippled or traumatized during the war. Back then the only kind of treatment those young men got was from doctors. No one in the United States had gone beyond physical injuries to analyze and treat the emotional kind too.
Not long after, Japan invited him to teach their psychologists his techniques, his way of helping. Almost without realizing it, Rogers created a new kind of psychotherapy that dazzled the whole world. This even lead him to being nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Carl Rogers' Humanist Psychology
Carl Rogers' own life reflects one of the most well-known parts of his theory. This principle was self-actualization and a constant effort to fulfill ourselves, to discover more and more of what defines us while we chase after our goals. As strange as it might seem, he himself started out with a very different career path than psychology. He started out in agricultural science.
Later on, he took an interest in the study of Eastern and Western religions. Then he graduated with degrees in History and Theology. But after that he felt pulled towards the world of psychopedagogy and the complex process involved in becoming who we are. And that was when he learned the theories of one of his personal heroes, John Dewey. What he learned from Dewey was that education shouldn't just happen on an intellectual level, you also have to be open to experience.
So, also influenced by existentialism, he started to publish books, studies, and research until he got a job as a professor of clinical psychology. It also didn't take him long to become the cornerstone of humanist psychology thanks to his client-centered therapy. He left behind the idea of a "patient" as a passive subject. Instead he showed us that people could become experts in their own personal growth and life path.
The word "client" showed up for the first time in his humanist psychology for a very clear reason. It was because the word put people on equal terms with their therapist (unlike psychoanalysis). He wanted to show his absolute belief that people could change positively, build psychological strength, knock down defense mechanisms, and give a shape to the fundamental impulse they could use to fulfill themselves.
Key points in the Carl Rogers' humanist psychology
There's one question you've probably all asked yourself at some point. "Why is this happening to me?" The first thing Carl Rogers' humanist psychology would do is give you genuine empathy. It would try to connect with the client and take an interest in the situation they're going through. It's a meeting point between one human being and another, with one common goal. The point is to explore your true "I" so you can make more satisfying decisions.
Now we'll look at some of the most important points from Carl Rogers' humanist psychology.
The need to develop a functional personality
- We all have our goals within our reach. Finding a place of well-being and developing ourselves to our fullest potential are within our reach too. But Rogers said that most of us look at those things as an unattainable ideal or a total fantasy. Well-being is more than just a goal, though. It's a constant process that you have to put effort into in the here and now.
- To develop a fully functional personality, you have to be open to experience. You can't only accept your positive emotions, you also have to face up to your negative ones instead of running away from them.
- You have to give your life a meaning. We're all responsible for ourselves. That's why it's so necessary to have an active, receptive, and creative attitude so you can find a satisfactory meaning within your reality.
- And another key element in Carl Rogers' humanist psychology is self-confidence. This priceless possession is so often in danger of going extinct inside us. So you have to learn how to trust in your own standards and be brave enough to make big decisions and worry less about what other people will say or think.
- Moments of crisis are times when you can look for, sense, and take steps towards a new opportunity. This is definitely an essential idea for your personal growth too.
Understanding Carl Rogers' humanist psychology better
Lastly, there's one aspect that's definitely worth thinking about to get a much better understanding of Carl Rogers' humanist psychology. It's what always set him apart from other therapists and also made him one of the most influential psychologists. He always chose to focus on the person and not the problem.
He was the man who looked at his clients from an authentic place. He never judged them, never pushed any strategies on them, and never confronted them. The goal of his therapy was to listen, make it easier for them to recognize their emotions, and help them define their own personality…And that's exactly why so many of his strategies don't show up in instruction manuals, he didn't have a clear methodology. But even today his psychological focus is still one of the best strategies for dealing with trauma or attachment issues.

Topics: Literature William Shakespeare
Paper type: Essay Pages: 7 (1652 words)
Literature often contains themes that allow the reader to relate to the characters. From suicide to murders, death is an inevitable theme seen time and time over not only in real life but also in many types of literary works.
It is used by many authors as a main driving force behind the plot as well as a method to add emotions in various works. The presence of death is a reoccurring subject in almost every type of literary work such as novels, short stories as well as plays.
Firstly, death is seen in many different novels and is present in almost every genre. Death is even present in many novels aiming for younger readers such as William Golding's "Lord of the Flies" and others. In the novel "Lord of The Flies", death is a very common subject throughout the story as seen with the deaths of the little'un, Simon and Piggy. For starters, already in the first few chapters, death makes its first appearance as one of the little'uns disappears.
"That little'un-' gasped Piggy – 'him with the mark on his face, I don't see him.
Where is he now?" (William Golding, p. 46) The little'un was earlier spotted playing in the forest near the mountain top where an accidental forest fire broke out just few moments after. The little'un with the mark on his face is now nowhere to be found and is presumed dead burnt in the fire. Moreover, death is seen a second time later on in the novel when Simon is attacked by all the boys. After his encounter with The Lord of the Flies, Simon manages to make his way back to Jack's feast only to find a group of boys caught up in frenzy. In their bewildered state of mind, the savage boys descended upon the innocent child thinking he was the best and violently killed him.
"At once the crowd surged after it poured down the rock, leapt on the beast, screamed, struck, bit, tore" ( William Golding, p.169). Finally, towards the end of the book, death is seen for the third and last time when Piggy and Ralph visit the Castle Rock in hopes of retrieving Piggy's glasses. However, at the castle rock, the duo encountered and unexpected twist of events which led to Piggy's death after being crushed by a big boulder of rock thrown by Roger. Although death is seen multiple times in novels, it is also a recurring theme seen in other shorter literary works. Secondly, death is also seen quite often in short stories.
Countless authors including Edgar Alan Poe use death as one of the main driving force in there plot line. As a matter of fact, death is seen in almost every Edgar Alan Poe short stories some examples being "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Cask of Amontillado" and "The Murders in the Rue Morgue". To begin with, the theme of death is seen throughout the story "The Tell-Tale Heart" as the main character plots to kill the old man. At the begging of the story, the main narrator explains that he can no longer stand to look into the elderly man's fake eye and for that reason he must kill him. After a week of planning, the main character finally puts his plan in motion as he rushes in the old man's house and crushes him to death under his own bed. "He shrieked once — once only. In an instant I dragged him to the floor, and pulled the heavy bed over him.
I then smiled gaily, to find the deed so far done." (Edgar Alan Poe, p.5) Likewise, the presence of death is also present in "The Cask of Amontillado" where the main character Montresor vows revenge to his foe Fortunato for the thousand injuries and bane he has caused him in the past. In that short story, Montresor lures Fortunato in the catacomb where he is then entombed alive and left to starvation. Furthermore, death is also seen in "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" but this time in a funnier and more farfetched way. In this play, an unnamed narrator and his friend investigate a crime scene only to find out that an Ourang-Outang was in fact the murderer behind the crime.
The monkey wield with a razor had completely cut off the head of an old women in her own apartment. "The throat of the old lady was not merely cut, but the head absolutely severed from the body: the instrument was a mere razor" (Edgar Alan Poe, p.20). Albeit death is constantly seen in many books meant to be read, it is just as present in other literary works meant to be acted out such as plays. Lastly, death is not only seen in books but it is also frequently seen in many known plays. For the past few decades, the presence of death in plays has been seen time and time over by some of the most eminent playwrights including Shakespeare. From suicide to murder, death is present in almost all of Shakespeare plays some of which are "Romeo and Juliet", "Macbeth" and, let's not forget, "Hamlet".
In the first place, the presence of death is seen several times throughout the play "Romeo and Juliet" many of which are resulted in combat such as the deaths of Mercutio, Tybalt and Paris. Although many deaths occur in the pay "Romeo and Juliet", the play is most commonly known for the deaths of the star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet.
After Juliet drinks a potion to make her seem dead for 2 days in the hopes of escaping a forced marriage, Romeo finds her corpse. "O my love, my wife! Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty." (William Shakespeare, Act 5, Scene 3). Thinking Juliet was actually dead; Romeo commits suicide by drinking poison. At Juliet awakening, she is devastated to see her lover's dead body beside her and decides to stab herself to death. In the second place, death is also seen multiple times throughout the play "Macbeth". In this play, in order make the witches prophecy come true, the main character Macbeth killed the King Duncan so as to inherit the throne all and become the new King of Scotland. "I go, and it is done; the bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncan; for it is a knell.
That summons thee to heaven or to hell." (William Shakespeare, Act 2, Scene 1) Later on in the play, Macbeth then hired murderers to kill one of his former friends as well as a many other noblemen threatening his crown. In the third and last place, the presence of death is also seen in the popular Shakespeare play "Hamlet".
This play is known for its many deaths throughout the plotline. In the end, almost every round character has been killed. Out of the 12, 10 were either poisoned or drowned. Thus, death is also frequently found in plays. All in all, the theme of death is a major and reoccurring subject that is present in literary works. It is often found in various types of literary works such as novels, short stories and plays. This theme has been used by some of the best authors to ever write for it evokes many emotions. However, there are many other ways the author can use to induce these. Hence, one can wonder about the variety of techniques they use to relate to the readers.

really helpful to me to find quotes for my first argument as well as to make links with deaths in literature for a novel. Because of the novel's pretty high count of death, I was able to establish a multitude of different links to my essay that bears with the presence of death. William Shakespeare, ed. Cyrus Hoy. Romeo and Juliet (Norton Critical Editions).
New York: Norton, 1992 The Shakespeare play "Romeo and Juliet" was helpful for my essay because it was one of the plays I used to link to the presence of death. In addition, "Romeo and Juliet" is home to the most famous death in literature and had to be inserted in my essay. William Shakespeare, ed. A. C. Bradley. Shakespearean tragedy: Macbeth. New York: Penguin, 1991. The Shakespeare play "Macbeth" was useful to my essay for many reasons. For starters, I had just finished reading this book before writing my essay which made it easy to make links between the presence of death in literature and this book. Also, like most of Shakespeare plays, "Macbeth" contains a lot of death's which made it even easier for me to link it to my essay. Weller, Philip. Hamlet Navigator. Shakespeare Navigators, (21/11/2012). < http://shakespeare-navigators.com/hamlet >
This website contains all information that there is to know about Shakespeare (quotes, themes, scenes etc…). Although I did not use this site for a lot, it helped me make my annotated bibliography for every Shakespeare play I used in this essay.
SparkNotes Editors. SparkNote on Poe's Short Stories. SparkNotes LLC. 2002. (18/11/2012) < http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/poestories/section5.rhtml >
This website is a summary of Edgar Alan Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" which was really helpful for me to understand the plot of the story without having to read the entire short story. I also found quotes on this website.

Some people don't understand the very real struggle of getting out of bed in the morning. For some folks, it's easy. They hear their alarm and immediately get up to start their day. For the rest of us though, we hit the snooze button incessantly, hoping that we eventually feel *zzzz…*
If you fall into that group, don't worry–it turns out you're not simply lazier than those early birds. A study published in the journal Nature Communications found that our ability to wake up in the morning is hard-wired into our DNA. Which means by the time you're born, it's pretty much determined whether or not you will be a night owl or an early riser.
You see, all humans are bound to something called a circadian rhythm, which is a fancy name for the internal biological clocks all living organisms have which are attuned to a 24-hour cycle. Depending on your DNA, researchers say that this clock can have a natural preference for day or night. It's the same reason why jet lag can have such a profound effect on some people–their circadian rhythm is thrown completely out of whack.
With that in mind, California-based biotechnology company 23andMe analyzed the genomes of 89,283 people looking for something called nucleotide polymorphisms, which are the most common type of genetic variance among humans. Then, they compared those findings with responses to a web survey the same individuals completed which asked whether they prefer mornings or nights.
In the people who answered "yes" to being a morning person, 15 of those genetic variances showed up often enough to meet a statistical threshold. Which means morning people literally have something you don't.
To make matters worse for the night owls out there, people who embrace mornings are also less likely to be depressed, obese or suffer from insomnia. Women are also "significantly" more likely than men to be morning people, but most of us come to appreciate the earlier part of the day as we get older as well, researchers say.
So you know what? Hit the snooze button one extra time tomorrow morning. Your body will thank–*zzzz…*

Canada rounded out the group play in the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying in emphatic style as they demolished Guatemala. Two hat-tricks, from Rebecca Quinn and Nichelle Prince, were a big part of the result with Canada running out 10-0 winners at BBVA Compass Stadium on Tuesday night.
It didn't take long for Canada to start the scoring, as the opened the scoring in just the fourth minute through legend Melissa Tancredi. The veteran was able to get on the end of a cross from Price from the right, allowing Tancredi to head home from close range.
Guatemala's defense held firm for 20 minutes, but Canada could have been 2-0 up as they saw an effort come off the post. The wait wasn't long after that effort as Alicia Navas dropped a cross, thanks to a team-mate getting in her way, allowing Gabrielle Carle to easily bury he chance.
In the 35th minute Canada found their third goal after some nice movement off the ball allowed the chance. Janine Beckie's movement, allowed Allysha Chapman to send the ball in for a wide open Beckie, who sent the ball past the keeper, off Navas' hands.
Two minutes before the break Canada was able to make it four after some individual brilliance from Nichelle Prince. Prince stole possession, beat her defender, and left the keeper with no chance on a well taken strike.
Canada weren't done for the first-half yet and in stoppage time they were able to make it five after Didra Martinez gave away a penalty. The referee called for a handball, which allowed Rebecca Quinn to step up and bury the chance.
It took just four minutes in to the second half for Canada to knock Guatemala for six, when Quinn hit an impressive effort from distance, after Tancredi played her in to the space. Quinn completed her natural hat-trick as she headed home a Tancredi cross from just outside the six yard box, tomake it seven.
With such a huge lead, Canada let off the gas in the second half as they looked to just the pass the ball around. But despite that Canada were able to add three goals to hit ten in the final 10 minutes of the match.
Beckie hit a shot that was too powerful for Navas, as she was able to send a powerful effort that bounced in front of Navas. That saw the ball fall for Prince to score another with what was a very simple tap-in.
In the 86th minute it was a lucky bounce that gave Canada their ninth goal as Navas attempted to clear the ball. Tancredi stuck out her leg, sending the ball off her leg and in to the back of the net, for a goal her performance deserved.
The tenth came up with just over one minute to play, when Carle was able to send a ball in to the box, seemingly for Tancredi. But Tancredi let the ball run between her legs, allowing Prince to seal her hat-trick by sending the ball home.

Poor kids (joke)?
Two poor kids were invited by a rich kid to a swimming party at his pool.
When they were changing into their swim trunks, one turned to the other and said: "Did you notice the small dongs on the rich kids?"
The other answered: "Yeah! It's probably because they have toys to play with!"
Please feel free to browse my other questions, I post jokes all the time.

Mom made our barbie toys ot of cardboard, when our water line froze we had to melt snow for cooking water, we shared rooms. But we had a big house so i told everyone we were rich!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard Athletics is proud to announce that three of its head coaches have received an inaugural Coach of Excellence award today. Head coach of softball Jenny Allard has been named the Ragatz Family Harvard Women's Coach of Excellence, while Brian Baise, head coach of men's volleyball, and Ted Minnis, The Friends of Harvard Water Polo Head Coach, are co-recipients of the James Herscot '58 Coach of Excellence award.
These head coaches have each distinguished themselves throughout their tenures at Harvard, and all three of their teams experienced a remarkable level of success last year. During the fall 2017 season, men's water polo won the Northeast Water Polo Conference Championship for the second consecutive year and advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Tournament before falling to USC. Last winter, men's volleyball won its first EIVA Championship title and made its first trip to the NCAA Tournament in program history, where they lost to eventual champion UCLA in four sets. In spring 2018, softball beat Dartmouth to clinch its eighth Ivy League Championship in program history, and advanced to play Georgia and Cal in the round of 64 at the NCAA Tournament.
"I am proud of Jenny, Brian, and Ted for their leadership as mentors and educators, helping their athletes excel in the classroom, in competition, and in the larger Harvard community," stated Bob Scalise, the John D. Nichols '53 Family Director of Athletics. "In addition, I am grateful to Jim Herscot '58 and Kendra Ragatz '95 for establishing these two Coach of Excellence Awards that enable us to recognize outstanding members of our Department."
These Coach of Excellence Awards are the latest additions to a growing list of endowed positions in Harvard Athletics. Criteria for selection includes coaching tenure at Harvard, overall contribution to the Athletics Department, team performance, student-athlete experience and development, leadership within their sport (or at Harvard), and other criteria related to excellence in coaching at Harvard. The Coach of Excellence title will be carried in addition to other coaching titles the individual may have. Income from this fund will assist with professional development and general program support, among other expenses.
Over the course of her decorated, 24-year coaching career at Harvard, Jenny Allard has led the softball program to a 610-454 overall record, including a remarkable .721 winning percentage within the Ivy League. She is also a model Department citizen, having served on almost all of the Harvard Athletics leadership committees over her career. She is currently a member the Faculty Standing Committee and four other department advisory groups.
In his ten years at the helm of men's volleyball, Brian Baise has led the program to a 115-97 record and six appearances in the EIVA Tournament over the last seven seasons. He was recently named the 2018 HRFWA Friend of the Year in recognition of his program's accomplishments and his tremendous efforts to build a loyal following of men's volleyball alumni. Brian also serves as a member of the Harvard Athletics Academic Integration Committee.
As the Friends of Harvard Water Polo Head Coach, Ted Minnis has the honor of coaching both the men's and women's teams each year. His nine-year tenure has brought notable success to both programs, including a top-three finish in the conference standings over the last three seasons on the men's side while posting two seasons of 20-plus wins with the women's program. In addition to his coaching duties, Ted also serves as a co-chair of the Harvard Athletics Coach Development Committee and is a member of the Athletics Policy Committee.

With over 20 years of experience in the employee benefits market, WellSpring Benefits, Inc. develops strategies for employers to keep their healthcare dollars in check. With changing legislation, employers are finding it increasingly difficult to balance cost and value when managing employee benefits. Contact us today to see how WellSpring Benefits can create a strategy that best suits your unique workplace needs.
A prime example of the changing healthcare benefits landscape is the addition of two employer reporting requirements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to the Internal Revenue Code back in 2015. These codes require applicable large employers (ALEs) to provide every full-time employee with an annual statement detailing the employer's health coverage. All employers that provide minimum essential coverage under a self-funded/self-insured plan must provide an annual statement to those covered. To satisfy these requirements, the IRS has designed a new form, Form 1095-C, Employer-Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage, and Form 1094-C, Transmittal of Employer-Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage Information Returns.

Chicago Mission Trip
This Friday morning our team of 19 leave for the 'Windy City' of Chicago. We will be partnering with Craig & Elizabeth Priestly who live on the West side of Chicago, near Humboldt Park. They are a part of Legacy Christian Fellowship, which is seeking to spread the gospel through house church partnerships; they currently have 9 such churches. During the week, these churches meet regularly for discipleship and on Sunday gather for worship at their home. Then once a month all gather for a time of corporate worship and fellowship.
One of the primary objectives of our trip is to listen and learn from our brothers and sisters that are living out the gospel in their community and context. We also want to do all we can to encourage them in the work God has called them to. One of the ways we hope to do so is though a 'yard renovation project', helping provide some needed ministry space for the children of the neighborhood. We hope to help get a start to that by having some of our students lead a bible club during the evenings, creating interest and excitement about an ongoing ministry. We are also seeking to get to know their neighbors by community service projects during the days. You can partner with us this week through your regular prayers; we know much of the success of such a trip is due to the faithful prayers of His people…so we thank you ahead of time for lifting us up. May we be 'blown' along by God's Spirit faithfully serving and sharing the love of Christ!

Los Tres Cerditos - An Elementary Spanish STEAM Challenge
My third graders recently finished a unit on extreme weather. We practiced counting to 100 and talking about being afraid with Worry Doll Math unit and then we talked about the temperature and extreme weather events like hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods. The following unit in our new district K-5 curriculum just happens to be Me and My Home so I decided to introduce houses with The Three Little Pigs.
First, I told them the story using story props from my favorite site kizworld.com. The students helped act it out and we discussed which pig was smart, which house was strong, and who in the story was mean.
Target Vocabulary:
Vivo en...
una casa de paja, madera, ladrillos
Es fuerte.
Es inteligente.
Es simpático.
Es antipático.
To wrap it all up, the students completed a STEAM challenge. They had to build houses out of straw, wood, and bricks that could withstand a tornado, hurricane, and a flood (tying it back to our previous unit.)
I put them in groups of four and they each had to construct a house of either straw, wood, or bricks. There were not allowed to use any English. They had a sheet with a list of phrases they might use which we went over before starting or they could act something out. The paper included all of the supplies, plus interpersonal phrases like more/less, I like it/I don't like it, Very good/Oh no!, I agree/I don't agree. It's important to remember that the more cognitively challenging the task the less TL students will be able to produce which is why we stuck with easy phrases that they had learned in previous units. If they did use English they were sent to the penalty box for a few minutes.
The straw group had plastic drinking straws cut in half, strips of paper, masking tape, and play-doh. The wood group had wooden craft sticks, masking tape, and play-doh. The bricks group had legos.
I worked it out with my third grade team that I would take their classes for 50 minutes instead of 25 so that we had enough time to build and test their houses. The only English I used was to clarify that to test a house it must have four walls and a roof. Because of our time constraints I didn't worry about a door or a floor. I also explained the English penalty box. Then we flipped the sign back to Spanish and away we went.
I was really impressed at their ability to work together and in Spanish. They didn't resent the penalty box and one class even policed themselves and would put themselves and each other in the box without my direction. After about 25 minutes we tested each house.
I've seen this challenge on Pinterest done with a hair dryer that has ears and eyes to make it resemble a wolf but since I was connecting it back to our severe weather unit we went with a tornado, hurricane, and flood.L
For the tornado it had to stand up under a hair dryer. For a hurricane we used the hair dryer and a spray bottle. The flood was the hardest and only one house passed (and a straw one at that!) We put them down in a tub of water. It passed if no water got up into the house. Even though we had previously looked at pictures of houses on stilts none of the students seemed to remember that as a solution - they kept trying to make them float.
I think next year I will add a reflection sheet or checklist that they can do after in Spanish, but overall, it was a great way to get out some energy the week before Spring Break. I was very happy with how the students used both their creative and collaboration skills along with some basic Spanish phrases.

This is a great idea. We are studying el cerdo with First Grade (Students selected that animal from a bunch of stuffed animals). We talked about its characteristics ( mamífero, omnívoro (come de todo), partes del cuerpo, etc.) and now we are reading Los tres cerditos. I think you gave me the idea to transition from that to the topic of houses and the basic question ¿Dónde vives? Which curriculum do you use as a guide?ReplyDeleteReplies
We have a district curriculum - http://blogs.fcps.net/curriculum/world-languages/ It's my first year with it and I like it but it's been interesting trying to fit in some of what I used to use. What curriculum do you use?Delete
Gracias por leer el blog!
I don't follow any curriculum in particular. I am building it with my students. I let their interest guide what we do in class. I read a lot so my approach is what I have learned from the research and best practices, that's it. I do keep track of the topic and themes but in general, I follow what some may call non-targeted CI. Anyway, sometimes I feel I need some of the structure that an stablished curriculum may offer. This is a work in progress and I am learning every day from here and there. (It's a joy so far).Delete

Everything from perceptions, strengths, and opportunities for development are assessed, evaluated, and integrated with your unique goals and the types of insights you want to gain and leverage on you and your team's developmental journey.
Attitudinal Assessment
Work for, not against yourself. Our Energy Leadership Index helps you understand how you react under stress.

Where am I? DCC > DCC INFORMATION > REPORTS AND ALBUMS > CLUB LOG DETAIL
13 & 18 April 2016 - Pete O'Neill - SD 673 773
A small extension to Ireby Fell Caverns, Leck Fell
The following is a brief report of the two breakthrough trips in Frink Chamber, Ireby 2. Although not a DCC dig, it does involve a DCC member and, hopefully will be of interest to any club members who cave in the Three Counties area.
Prior to the break through, many digging trips (only two of these earlier trips involved me) have taken place over several months during the winter period, commonly in very wet conditions. For the uninitiated, a trip to Frink Chamber in Ireby 2 is an excellent day out, involving 13 pitches, numerous climbs, waist deep water, a 160m long crawl and some excellent and varied cave passage; it really is a great trip. We had the cave permanently rigged to allow fast access when carrying gear for digging, one way from the end to the surface with no derigging was taking about one and a half hours and two hours.
Wednesday 13/4/16
Frank Pearson (RRCPC), Geoff Yeadon (NCC), Mick Nunwick (NCC), Tim Allen (NCC), Pete O'Neill (DCC/NCC)
A wet trip down with much water on some of the pitches. Frank was abandoned at the end of Ireby 1, muttering about chest pains, pins and needles in his hands and feet and generally feeling like he might die. He did actually make it to the end of the skylight crawl connection with Ireby 2. Tim and I waited for ½ hour at the start of Escalator Rift for him, before deciding that if he had keeled over and died we'd deal with it on the way out.
By the time one has climbed all the pitches up in escalator rift, then the two final up and down pitches to Frink Chamber where the dig is situated, you do feel like you're quite a distance from home. Geoff and Mick (who had decided not to wait for a dying man) had already done a fair session at the dig face by the time we arrived. Just before the dig is a tight flat-out section that Geoff has to strip off to get through, some of his thermals are left hanging from the ceiling at this point for the return journey, not bad commitment for a 65 year old.
After Geoff had finished his stint at the front with hammer, crow bar and chisel, it was my turn. We could now see gaps between boulders and a possible way on. The boulders are glued together in calcite and are pretty hard to remove, despite having a 36v Bosch SDS drill with chisel action on hand. Tim's was to be the final stint of the day; by this time both Mick and Geoff were pretty cold having been at the digging face for nearly 3 hours and there were murmurings of pub time. However, the boulder chock finally started to give in, and right at the end of the day having used all 3 batteries for the drill a way on was opened up. Tim being at the front, was first through a slightly awkward downwards slot, closely followed by me; we found ourselves in a small rift chamber approx 4m long by 2m wide and 3m high. The chamber dropped off to the left side down a slope partly blocked by boulders into a low passage going off. Tim set to removing the boulders whilst I set to making the downwards slot bigger for the other two. In no time the boulder blockage was cleared by Tim and the two of us shot off to explore approx. 20m of muddy hands and knees crawling passage; we decided to turn round leaving it wide open and return to Geoff and Mick.
Geoff was unable to get down the slope that had been partly blocked with boulders so, from below, I removed more boulders to make it passable for them. Mick and Geoff then pushed the end for few more metres to a short section that needed digging but, beyond the 1m of digging, they could see into a chamber estimated to be 7m across with possible passages to right and left and a boulder slope at the far end.
A perfect spot to call it a day, knowing we'd be in new passage on the next trip. The trip out was even wetter, particularly Well and Bell pitches and the duck: it had obviously been raining heavy. However, on the plus side our gear was now spotless.
In the 'Orange Tree' at Kirkby (steak night), plans were made for a return on Sunday.
Sunday 17/4/16
Frank Pearson (RRCPC), Geoff Yeadon (NCC), Mick Nunwick (NCC), Tim Allen (NCC), Geoff Crossley, Mark Simms (BBPC), Pete O'Neill (DCC/NCC).
Water levels were high but, unlike last time, at least the cave wasn't flooding. I stayed at the rear of the party with Frank, who was still complaining about feeling ill, but had decided that he just could not miss out on some virgin cave.
By the time we had reached Frink Chamber, stripped off SRT gear, and had a quick brew, then progressed to the end of the previous breakthrough, it became obvious that the others were through the end dig and had run off into new cave.
The 7m across chamber was more like 4m across. A passage to the right was ignored, as voices could be heard from a sandy crawl to the left which the others had dug through. The sandy crawl led up to a T-junction with superbly scalloped stooping height phreatic tube going left and right. To the left, we followed the passage for approximately 70m, the end being walking size with some good formations (one large formation has been called Frank's Heart) to a silt and calcite blockage with a gap over the top.
In the opposite direction from the T-junction, the stooping size passage was followed for approx 30m to a boulder choke, with some gaps going up, but no clear view into open space. Below the choke, a gap in boulders was pushed into a space with no visible way on. A short rift passage to the left of the choke was also entered with no way on.
We returned to the original 4m across chamber and entered the passage to the right which was stooping height but wide, this we followed for 10m to a choke, on the left up into the choke may well correspond with the base of the choke in the T-junction passage (survey should reveal all). Down to the right in the choke is a gap against a wall dropping maybe 2m which at present is too tight. There is little discernible draught at this point; however, you cannot tell if a passage goes off or not.
Elated at getting into new passage and deflated at not romping off for miles we had a quick brew and set off out. This time there was no flood pulse; despite the distance, it's still a cracking trip and works up a good thirst for the pub.
Plans are now afoot for a surveying and photography trip. Whilst waiting to get this sorted, we've been back in Ireby 2, having a go at the main upstream choke which is a lot shorter trip than going up Escalator Rift.
Since the above was written, the extension has been surveyed, 185m of new passage in total.

Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kris Jenner have all recently posed for Love Magazine so it only makes sense that chameleon Kylie Jenner would get in on the action.
Kris went pantsless, Kendall donned a tank and undies and Kim bared her butt (of course) so what could 17-year-old Kylie do that would raise unbleached eyebrows? Why, sport a blonde wig, of course.
Kylie shared the pic via Instagram and the short blonde wig is a game-changer because she could easily pass for Rita Ora. Or a Real Housewife. And she cannot expect us to believe that those dark lips and cat eyes are all thanks to contouring. We're not buying it anymore, Kylie. The teen is seen in another photo, lying on a mattress wearing a floral one-piece, trench coat and knee socks.
Then there's this glamour shot, taken on the same mattress but now Kylie's wearing a veil over her face with a different one-piece on.
Kylie Jenner is also featured in this month's LOVE mag issue: http://t.co/9BV6tw87Dz pic.twitter.com/6lFPxvqKcg

The Army & the Power of Reformation
Standing on the shoulders of giants
There are pivotal moments in history that affect all that comes after. The day in 1517 when Martin Luther nailed the 95 concerns about his Catholic Church to the door of the Wittenberg cathedral was such a time. But Luther was not alone in his protest. His was a culmination of many cries for reform. Other giants of the faith, like Jan Hus, John Wycliffe and the Lollards, before Luther contested that the institutional structure of the medieval church had clouded the Gospel. Many of these luminaries suffered and died for their challenges to the status quo. Luther's salvation came out of the witness of those who had gone before. And the world has never been the same. The Salvation Army stands in the succession of those who have protested any diminishment of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The central question of the Reformation was, "How can a person stand before God as righteous?" The common person had been taught that righteousness was earned by doing some act, like being baptized, taking communion or going to confession. Those who demanded reform flatly rejected any focus on works-righteousness. Thus, the "protestants" produced a theological earthquake drawn from a growing belief that righteousness came, not through works, but by grace. That relationship was sealed by the only scriptural condition for humanity found in verses like Romans 1:17 and Galatians 3:11, "the righteous shall live by faith." God has used the exact same emphasis to produce another much needed revival at the origins of The Salvation Army (per its 8th doctrine). And we dare not lose that core focus.
The Radical Nature of the Gospel
I heard a preacher say, "There is enough truth in the Gospel to start a new Reformation in every generation." The Holy Spirit used the Book of Romans to bring a personal reformation to men of the stature of Augustine, Martin Luther and John Wesley. The Holy Spirit uses successive clarifications in the hearts and minds of the people of God to bring us to a fuller understanding of the Truth found in Jesus Christ. The Wesleyan perspective on salvation formed the heart of the Army. And we stand today in the continued joy of the Gospel of a salvation based solely on the grace of Jesus Christ's person and atoning work.
The word "reformation" is an apt description of the radical change grace enables. From that basis, a whole new perspective on the church, on what a person is called to and could experience, was born. There was the need to re-form a mindset. The focus was no longer on nature, or works, or acts of obedience, but on grace, the love of God and the offer of life in Jesus' blood and righteousness. Our history shows that it was this same struggle that motivated the earliest ministry of the Army in England and America. The Salvation Army will always stand in the shadows of previous Christians who prayed, struggled, studied, preached and mostly, believed that the Scripture way of salvation is through grace alone, by faith alone, in Christ alone.
The Army and the Reformation—Areas of Distinctiveness
While grateful for the men and women who paved the way for the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ to be proclaimed, the Army's vantage point distinguished it from the larger families of the Reformation. There were several major Reformation groups: Lutheran, Calvinist, Anabaptist and the English arm of renewal. In our day of individualism, it is hard to remember that the Reformers were actually quite traditional. They earnestly attempted to get back to the Scripture and to the earliest preaching of the Gospel. The unique mindset that arose in the English context was what called the via media or, "middle way" between the Reformers and Catholicism. That meant that not everything was left behind in the changes to come. John Wesley drew from the giants of both the Catholic Church and the newer, helpful insights of Luther, Calvin and others. Thus, The Salvation Army's heritage incorporates profound insights of truth that both precede and follow 1517. Our history draws from the best of the past which the Holy Spirit has confirmed.
One major area to be noted here is the view of God of which the Army is an heir. The righteousness of God came to be viewed primarily through the lens of a courtroom, with God as the Judge. Justification by faith took on a primarily legal interpretation. Justice for a sinner could only come from a mediator. The "rightness" of a sinner was imputed by a holy God through the sacrifice of Christ.
The Wesleyan tradition agrees with that wholeheartedly, but would also include the early Christian emphasis of God as Father. The Bible offers us a fuller conception of God than merely a Judge who does a work for us. His divine love is transformative. We are made righteous by His life in us. So the Army has always balanced the work of God for us as well as in us. We are justified and born-again; the distinction is very important.
Another major area of distinctiveness is the purpose of salvation in every believer. Because of the strong focus on total depravity, the Reformers defined a Christian as a sinner saved by grace. This meant that sin was always going to have the same power over every believer until Heaven. The phrase that came to describe the Christian experience was "At the same time, a believer is both a sinner and just." The tradition out of which the Army arose fundamentally disagreed with that assessment. Without undermining the seriousness of sin in every person's life, there was an equally strong emphasis on the power of the grace of the atonement to fundamentally change a person's life. They could stand before the Righteous Judge because they had been declared righteous in Christ and because the Holy Spirit immediately began to work in them to re-create them in the image of God. The Father desires to share His likeness with us.
Another important difference came because of the first two. God's nature as love and salvation as the promise of personal transformation confronted a preoccupation with God's sovereign will. A judge relates to convicted criminals differently than a father to his children. A sinner who becomes a saint by the reforming work of the Holy Spirit in the human heart relates to God's power in a uniquely personal way.
The Army has never agreed with those who say that God arbitrarily chooses to save some and to condemn others. We protest the belief that Jesus died for a select few or that grace for salvation cannot be rejected. The sovereign power of God has always been viewed personally, relationally. Simply put, the Army has always believed that the Father, Son and Spirit offer us love and life that incorporates judgment and power but not in ways that eclipse our human response. Love is always a relationship of true giving and receiving.
The Army and the Reformation the World Needs
If the Gospel is so powerful that a reformation could result
in every generation, it would be good to ask ourselves what the Spirit wants us
to be and do in this generation. As Protestants, our theology should build on
the past with deep love and respect, but we should emphasize the deepest needs
of the human heart. We offer a radical and reforming view of salvation. Is it
possible that our emphasis on holiness is exactly where we have something
distinctive to offer to the world? Justification by faith has defined the church's
self-perception for 500 years this month. What would happen if our language
incorporated that and more?
The Reformation began with those who built on earlier
insights and recaptured the Gospel to emphasize the grace of God. It would seem
to me that we ought to have that down by now. The Army's offer of
transformative grace is that all can be saved from the power of sin. What if in
this day Blood and Fire Salvationists could offer the radical truth that God's
righteousness can be formed in us (see II Corinthians 5:21)? This is the
radical Gospel that reforms persons and nations: Justified by grace through
faith and sanctified by grace through faith.
The reformation of the church for the sake of the world
continues if the Holy Spirit can produce in each successive generation the
fullness of the life of God. We praise Him for the past and all its benefits,
but we also look to the future and ask what must we be about to show this
present age that God truly redeems, renews, restores, recreates and re-forms
every heart and life that is open to His full presence.
William Ury, PhD, and his wife Diane were commissioned as national ambassadors for holiness in August.

Did you have some minimalist house?
Some people sometime feel dizzy about what they gonna do or where it gonna place. Because when you building some minimalist house, you should clever enough to placing every room to fit. Like some small kitchen is not a bad idea. If you can place it in a good spot, it will look well deserved for your hard work.
Small kitchen is not bad at all, it will look more unique and have different vibe when you are cooking. Having a small kitchen doesn't mean you have limited space to move around. In fact, it has some advantages. The furniture will be easier to reach, so you can save time cooking. Also, a small kitchen is easier to clean because of its limited area.

When people ask me how I feel now, I just say 'fine'. Mainly because I can't be bothered to reel off the list of dramas going down with my body. Really, though, there is nothing fine about how I feel so I'm going to bitch about it here. It's what this blog is for, anyway.
Shall we start from the head and work down? Ok, good idea. Well there isn't much to report on that area of my body at the moment but I'm having mental heartburn which is mainly brought on by chocolate. Steering clear of chocolate right now is not easy. Some days I think 'ah fuck it' and just ram a bounty down my throat but the consequences are not pleasant. What does help the heartburn though is pickled onions. Oink.
Leaky boobs, yo. Sexy, sexy leaky boobies. There isn't much else to say about my melons other than they are HUGE and veiny. And leaky. I ooze sex right now don't I?
The baby is all up in my grill (ribs) all the time. I lose count of how many times I catch my breath when this kid decides to kick me straight up in the bones. And ribache is a joke, bras are my hell.
My pelvis is crunching (crumching, crunch, crunchie...mmmmm CRUNCHIE bars) like a mother every time I move, my hips ache, my lower back hurts real baaaaaaaad. SPD isn't the most fun thing in the world, I forgot just how unfun it is. Shoulda just read my blog back from the start before I decided to have another bebe init. Bit late now.
Let's not talk about piles. Or constipation. Or leaky wee valves.
I have restless legs and they cramp at night. Varicose veins are taking over my life. My ankles swell.
And I rage. I rage and rage and rage like hurricane Charlotte (has there been one of those yet?). But I'm happy, happy that I only have 12 weeks left (I will not be going over 40 weeks), excited to meet this little monster who leaves my insides bruised... I'm fine.

Thousands of people crowded the Newark Avenue Pedestrian Mall for the 17th annual LGBT Pride Festival on Aug. 26, concluding a week-long celebration honoring the LBTGQ community.
Music, dance, and other wonderful antics helped make the festival extremely joyous event this year, even as dark clouds of national politics hover above. The event coincided with the final announcement by President Donald Trump that transgender people will not be allowed to serve in the military, a change the military has yet to implement.
"We want to fight hate with love," said Eddie Baez, one of the festival's organizers.
The annual August event has become one of the mainstays of the local community, drawing people not just from Jersey City but throughout the region. The festival featured people dressed in costumes, performers of every sort, jugglers, and acrobats, and a number of musical and dance performances.
The event has also become a visible sign of progress the LBTGQ community has made over the last 17 years since the fire Pride Festival was held.
Over the last decade and a half, the LGBT community has grown significantly in Hudson County, with Jersey City becoming a center for a number of cultural and other related activities.
Although violence against LGBT people locally has subsided significantly since the bad old days of the 1970s and 1980s, threats against their rights under a new administration is now a concern. The recent moves against the transgender community by the White House have Pride organizers refocusing the festival to highlight transgender people.
"We want to promote peace," Baez said. "But we want to highlight transgender people."

You look for many things when a candidate submits an application to start the hiring process with your organization – what their qualifications are, if they'd fit into the job, how much work experience they have, so on and so forth. But before a candidate hits "submit" to their application, they're already reviewing something else: if they can even manage to fill out the application at all.
Failure to Communicate
In a recent study about candidate experiences, the number one issue that caused a poor candidate experience was unclear application instructions. Poor application instructions won by a landslide too, with 93% of those surveyed about what makes a poor candidate experience said that not being able to understand the application deterred them from even applying.
To say then that this is a big issue would be an understatement. This is a huge issue.
Failure to communicate to an applicant what they need to be doing in order to properly apply for the position sets a bad precedence: it discourages the applicant from investing time in your organization, it builds a reputation if the candidate chooses to share their experiences, and it's a poor reflection on your organization. Think about how many times you've gotten poor instructions with a product you just purchased, or directions to a place you want to go – you spend more time just trying to understand what they're saying than actually doing what needs to be done. But unlike traveling or using a product, the job candidate can just choose to walk away from the situation and look elsewhere.
Unnoticeably Correct
When things are done correctly your candidates won't even notice – and that's a very good thing.
Having a clear, effectively communicated experience throughout the hiring process is something that candidates won't notice. It's akin to spelling when you're reading something – you don't notice all the correctly spelled words in something you're reading, only the ones that are incorrectly spelled and disrupt the flow of your experience. The same rules apply for the candidate: they won't stop and say "wow this is really clear and easy!" because they'll be too busy engaging in the hiring process, rather than being hindered by it.
This applies throughout the entire hiring process experience, but it's especially important when you use additional hiring tools like hiring assessments. Instructions on a basic application might be easy to explain or figure out, but as a candidate moves further into the hiring process and starts with the hiring assessments they might be much more inclined to give up before spending too much time on things like job simulations and personality testing.
Clear instructions and expectations for each hiring assessment doesn't just make the lives of your job candidates easier, it ensures that your job candidates remain committed to the process and don't give up and apply elsewhere. Confusing, unclear, or vague directions on hiring assessments is a huge deterrent to candidates, so prevent them from giving up by evaluating where your assessments could be clearer and make necessary improvements.
