Women living with HIV/AIDS start afresh
More than 1,300 poor women have received home-based care, skills-training and grants to start their own businesses through a Fund for Gender Equality programme.
"I was afraid to sell goods to villagers," admits Mom, a 35-year-old single mother of two young girls living in Norea Ten village in Svay Rieng province, in southeastern Cambodia. She used to work as a producer of local Khmer Wine (Sra Sor) but was forced to stop when she was diagnosed with HIV.
Mom recalls the hostility she faced from her neighbours in the village, who would take her products and refuse to pay for them – all of which made her fearful for her safety and ability to make a living. Discrimination against women living with HIV and AIDS is compounded by the lack of education and knowledge of the epidemic, particularly in rural areas. Sexual violence and early forced marriage exacerbates the risk of HIV transmission.
In 2010, two local Cambodian NGOs, Cambodia Health Education Media Service (CHEMS) and Cambodian HIV/Aids Education and Care (CHEC) came together to develop a programme to tackle the many challenges that low-income women and those living with HIV face in rural Cambodia. The progam addresses the challenges by strengthening economic opportunities, leadership skills for women and improving their access to health care. It also improves knowledge about HIV/AIDS among these women and their families.
The programme "Strengthening the Economic Livelihoods Opportunities for Low-Income and HIV-Positive Women" was implemented in 12 provinces from 2011 to 2013, in close partnership with community-based organizations and the Cambodian Government.
Today, the programme has reached over 1,300 women, providing them with livelihood skills-training and grants to kick-start their own businesses, as well as health counselling and home-based care services.
Through self-help group meetings, they have also increased awareness of their basic rights and developed their abilities to advocate for those rights.
When Mom started the programme in 2011, she had no means of earning an income to support her two daughters. She soon signed up for pig-raising training and following its completion, received a USD 100 grant. She bought two young piglets and saved the rest. Selling her first pig allowed her to expand the business and buy four more.
Today Mom says she is happy with her job and has time to take care of her girls. She plans to spend the profits of her next pig sale on building a new house so that when it rains they will no longer have to go to her mother's house for shelter. As a result of the programme, Mom and many women like her are now able to provide their children with schooling, food and medicine.
Nicole Kidman urges action on violence against women
The message at the first-ever awards ceremony of the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women was simple: "they count on us; we count on you." Organised by the Trust Fund, the ceremony put a spotlight on ground-breaking initiatives that address the crucial needs of survivors of gender-based violence around the world and recognised individuals who have dedicated their lives to the cause.
One of the people honoured for her extensive work advocating to end violence against women was UN Women Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman.
Ms. Kidman, UN Women Goodwill Ambassador thanked activists all over the world who work tirelessly in every society to end violence against women and girls.
Speaking through a video message, she said: "It is an outrage that violence against women continues to be a part of the daily reality for millions of women and girls. It is a reality we must not accept."
Since the demand for the UN Trust Fund far exceeds the funding available, she emphasised: "Much has been achieved, but much more needs to be done."
Since its inception in 1996 the UN Trust Fund has awarded USD 95 million to support 368 initiatives, touching the lives of nearly 6 million people, however so many more women and girls need the help of the Trust Fund.
As Nicole Kidman implored, "Please let survivors of violence know that they can count on you."
The Australian National Committee for UN Women is currently raising funds to assist women and girls whose lives have been destroyed by sexual violence and abuse. More than a third of women around the world will face violence at some time in their lives. In countries in our own Asia-Pacific region, the figure is as high two-thirds. Just $65 helps UN Women provide group therapy and psycho-social counselling for women traumatised by sexual violence.

*Results may vary. This is not a guarantee.
It was my birthday at the end of May and I went out for the day with my family and friends. I had such an amazing day and it reminded me of how far I have come. So, I want to share my before and after photos with you all again, in the hope that it will inspire you to take action today and not tomorrow. For years I had that wee devil sitting on my shoulder saying "start tomorrow". That voice stopped me from achieving what I wanted to do for years. Please don't let the same thing happen to you.
I am incredibly proud of my achievement however I do have that sense of "I wish I had of started sooner". Why you might ask? Because I went through my teenage years and mid-twenties hiding away and not being the best person I could possibly have been.
My life has only started to begin. Yes, I am still young at 29. If my after photos have fooled you into thinking I'm younger 😉 I'm flattered, lol. When I show people my before and after shots they say I look 10 years younger… No surgery needed to achieve this look!
Imagine looking 10 years younger and feeling it!
You might be in the same age bracket as me or you might be older or younger! Whatever stage of life you are at remember life is precious and should be lived to the full.
I am never going back to that old me! The new me is full of life and more bubbly and I now take risks in life that I would never have done previously. I walk into a room feeling confident and wake up ready for each day with a huge spring in my step. To keep this spring going the 5:2 version of The New You Plan allows me to keep in utter control. The control that I never had before and the control that will keep me happy and healthy.
I decided that I wanted to use the 5:2 version to maintain my weight after I achieved my weight loss. The 5:2 is fantastic for losing weight and doing this is simple!
So what is The New You Plan 5:2?
- 2 days a week, enjoy 3 New You Plan TFR products, totalling 500 kcals (I keep my 2 days consecutive)
- The other 5 days maintain a healthy lifestyle and eat responsibly. You can eat up to 2000 kcals if you are a women and 2500 for men (I use an app called My Fitness Pal to calorie control)
I upped my calories on the 5 days healthy eating to allow myself to not lose, but maintain my weight loss. It's amazing how you can use The New You Plan to adapt with your lifestyle and achieve what is best for YOU!
Here is my picture before and after picture while maintaining. I started the 5:2 version in January and have maintained my weight! BUT LOOK… I have lost MAJOR INCHES!!! BONUS….
Start today by taking advantage of our incredible offer which ends midnight Sunday.
Shop any of our bundles over £70 and you'll receive a New You Plan goodie bag packed full of awesome goodies and accessories, worth an incredible £78.10.
Inside your bag, you'll find:

Australia's World Cup hopes received a further boost last night with star batsman David Warner making a dominant return to top-level cricket with 85 from 53 balls in the Indian Premier League.
From the very start of his knock for Sunrisers Hyderabad, Warner looked as if he had never been gone. In the second over of the innings he played two extraordinary strokes which are only possible for truly elite batsmen.
Former Indian leg spinner Piyush Chawla delivered two well-directed, flat googlies which were headed for the top of Warner's off stump.
The left-handed Aussie gave himself just enough room to slice both deliveries past cover for four. The veteran spinner, who has played 218 matches in this format, looked utterly stunned.
Chawla's apparently muddled mind, as a result of these two phenomenal strokes, was evident when the next ball he called for an awful DRS review of an LBW shout against Warner that pitched 20cm outside leg stump.
Soon after that Kolkata quick Prasidh Krishna dropped slightly short and Warner rocked back to hammer a pull shot over mid-wicket for four.
Any concerns Warner might struggle to re-adapt to high-level cricket, perhaps struggling against extreme pace or world class spin, were promptly scotched in the following overs.
First he looked at complete ease against arguably the world's fastest bowler, Lachie Ferguson, driving the Kiwi quick for four in his first over.
Then he clubbed three boundaries in the space of four balls from two of the star spinners of world cricket, Kuldeep Yadav and Sunil Narine.
By this point it was clear Warner had lost nothing during his 12 months out of international cricket due to the ball-tampering scandal.
A few minutes later he was confronted by another bowler with intimidating pace in West Indian Andrew Russell. First he absolutely nailed a cover drive for four. Then he upper-cut Russell's next delivery over third man for six to bring up his half-century from just 31 balls.
Perhaps no shot in Warner's innings, though, was more impressive than what he unleashed from the final ball of Kuldeep's second over.
The left arm wrist spinner landed a leg break on a good length and Warner, somehow, went deep in his crease, got underneath it and bludgeoned it for six over long on.
By the time Warner reached 85, with four overs left in the innings, he looked bolted on for what would have been the seventh ton of his T20 career. It took a sharp catch by Robin Uthappa at cover to deny Warner this milestone.
That ended a truly stunning comeback knock from the 32-year-old, who was comfortably Australia's best white ball batsman before being banned.
It was arguable that ODIs had become his best format and that he was the second best ODI batsman in the world after Indian Virat Kohli at that point.
In Warner's last 50 ODIs he averaged 56, racked up 11 tons, and scored at the scorching strike rate of 106.
He has been widely expected to slot straight back into Australia's World Cup XI, despite heavy competition due to the good form of Usman Khawaja, Shaun Marsh and Peter Handscomb, and the impending return of Steve Smith.
Warner's performance last night, while admittedly just one knock, suggests he could still be Australia's potential trump card with the blade in the World Cup in England this June.

Good Morning!Don't forget to "Spring Forward" for the beginning of Daylight Savings Time tonight! Or you'll be arriving an hour late for service tomorrow!
John 13:1–20
Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper 3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, 4got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. 5Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. 6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?" 7Jesus answered, "You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand." 8Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no share with me." 9Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!" 10Jesus said to him, "One who has bathed does not need to wash, except for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you." 11For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said, "Not all of you are clean." 12After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? 13You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right, for that is what I am. 14So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. 16Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. 17If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.
18I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But it is to fulfill the scripture, 'The one who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.' 19I tell you this now, before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am he. 20Very truly, I tell you, whoever receives one whom I send receives me; and whoever receives me receives him who sent me."
The other gospels speak of the bread Jesus broke at this dinner, saying "This is my body, broken for you", and the wine he shared, saying, "This is my blood, poured out for you and for many." But John has explained the implementation of the sacrament of Holy Communion earlier, with Jesus' speech, in John 6, "I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the world is my flesh." Now, he turns to another teaching at this dinner. Jesus is teaching the disciples to love and serve one another.
Now, it was the custom, in a land where people walked just about everywhere they went, where they wore sandals rather than closed shoes, and where the roads were dusty, to have a servant wash a guest's feet when he came into a home. But for this dinner there were no servants – perhaps some of the women who followed Jesus had prepared the meal, or perhaps they had gone home to their families for the holiday meal. Perhaps the disciples themselves had prepared the food. But, in the absence of servants, a basin and pitcher would have been set beside the door to allow guests to wash their own feet. It would appear, however, that the disciples had not washed their own feet, much less served one another. In fact, they may have walked past the basin, thinking "If I stop and wash my feet, I may be obligated to help the next person; I may even be stuck with washing everyone's feet. Then I will end up seated at the foot of the table instead of in a place of honor near Jesus." Of course, I am just surmising here, but it seems that is the sort of attitude Jesus is fighting here.
Of course, Jesus is watching this – but he doesn't say anything. He waits until they are all seated – actually, reclining, at the table, and then he gets up, takes off his outer robe, and ties a towel around his waist, dressing himself like a servant. And he washes their feet, and dries them with the towel he has wrapped around himself. He, who is leader, Teacher, and Master, acts like a servant to the others. I would imagine they feel ashamed that they had not served him, or one another. He says to them, "you also ought to wash one another's feet."
Serve one another. It is a simple command, based in love. Where can you do that today? (We will continue with this passage in the days to come.)

Graphic Novel 57 is out called "Team Building Excercise".
THE CLOCK TURNS BACK FOUR MONTHS AS THIS SEASON'S SECRETS ARE REVEALED — LEONARD ROBERTS ("D.L. HAWKINS") RETURNS — When the clock turns back four months for all of the Heroes, Nathan pays a terrible cost for his heroic actions. While Peter survives his detonation over New York City, the Company "bags" him as a threat to the world, eventually leading to violent confrontation with Elle (Kristen Bell) and the Haitian (Jimmy Jean-Louis). D.L. (Leonard Roberts) makes the ultimate sacrifice for Niki (Ali Larter) and Micah (Noah Gray-Cabey). Maya (Dania Ramirez) horrifically manifests her dark powers for the first time, driving her and Alejandro (Shalim Ortiz) to America for help. A mysterious, yet familiar face is introduced. David Anders, Jack Coleman, Dana Davis, Greg Grunberg, James Kyson Lee, Zachary Quinto, Sendhil Ramamurthy also star. Carlon Jeffery, Nichelle Nichols and Stephen Tobolowsky guest star.
Some new stuff (highlight) from Kristin over at E!…
Elle Is Super Kinkay: In ep 8, which flashes back four months, just wait till you see how sadistic our darling Kristen Bell can be as she gleefully zaps and zings Peter. Oh, and FYI, their lips might kinda sorta meet. And oh yeah, I might freak. I mean, Veronica and Jess lip-locking? Hello? That's the stuff of TV legends!
Maya Is Super Bad: And not in a fun Michael Cera of Superbad way—more like a Bill from Kill Bill kinda way. Just wait till you see what she did four months ago! You'll think her brother is a saint.
Nathan Is Super Lucky: You know that creeptastic burned dude Mr. Petrelli keeps seeing in the mirror? Sources confirm to me that's most definitely Nathan just a few months back, and the reason he looks so good is that (a) Adrian Pasdar is genetically blessed and (b) there's a cool new "cure" of sorts that could do a whole lotta people some good—including Nathan and, I don't know, perhaps Isaac and D.L. and Simone and Daddy Suresh, to name a few.
Kensei Is Super Old: 400 years old and he looks that good without a smidge of Botox? No fair! And he might even have picked himself up an Anglo name! You'll see very soon, and so will Peter, who gets a new bunkmate.
A Hero Is Super Dead: Sylar's gonna kill a Hero. A non-Hero's gonna kill a non-Hero. And then Sylar's gonna kill another Hero. Yeah, news flash: The guy's still ridonkulously evil. Don't let that shiny new Mylar fool you!
Filed under: Article, Buddy TV, General, Interview, Links, Nichelle Nichols, Season 2, Star Trek
Nichelle Nichols recently sat down to chat about her role on Heroes…
On the new season of Heroes, Micah (Noah Gray-Cabey) was rushed off to New Orleans to live with relatives, Nana Dawson (Nichelle Nichols) and Monica Dawson (Dana Davis). These two actresses spoke to reporters this morning about their Heroes experience.They spoke about how they got their roles, who St. Joan might be, and what Nichelle Nichols thinks about the upcoming new Star Trek film.
Nichelle Nichols' involvement came when she was on a short trip back to Los Angeles and her manager told her she had to take this audition. She initially thought it was just for a one-episode guest shot, but was delighted that it was a recurring role after reading the script and getting a good understanding for the character. She tried her best to deflect questions about the possibility of her character having powers, and was also unclear on how many more episodes she'll be in. Nichols said that her role keeps expanding, but would not confirm or deny
Dana Davis also tried to dance around questions about what's in store for Monica and what other heroes she might interact with, but she did let us know that Monica will be involved in plenty of fights moving forward, possibly with other heroes. One reporter question whether Monica will actually don a costume and run around fighting crime as St. Joan, the copycat character in the 9th Wonders comic book seen in the last episode. Davis couldn't answer, but she did say that it was a good guess.
In regards to the new Star Trek film, Nichols has a lot of respect for J.J. Abrams and is confident that the new film will maintain the wonder of Gene Roddenberry's original while taking the franchise into a new direction. She's also talked briefly with Heroes co-star Zachary Quinto, who will play Spock. While she was unsure about the casting based upon pictures she saw, when she talked to him and met him in person, she was certain he was the right man for the role. Nichols promised that if or when she gets to do a cameo in the new Star Trek film, she'll be screaming it from the rooftops, because she would more than love to do that.

I recently got myself a new bike and so I was keen to get out on it this weekend. I did the graveyard run a couple of weeks back and it was great, apart from the mental stray dogs. However, this weekend I wasn't in the mood for climbing hills and so a nice easy ride along the riverside park up to Danshui seemed like the perfect alternative.
I live in Xinyi district and my brother lives in Yonghe so we agreed to meet up halfway by the Meizhou Bridge. I set off, battling my way through the traffic to get to the riverside park near the Raohe Temple by Bade road. I've driven a motorbike the whole time I've been in Taiwan and so I'm used to the suicidal driving but on a bicycle it always seems so much worse and I was glad when I finally got off the road and onto the the rainbow bridge.
The paths in the park are for the most part really well maintained. There are still places where construction is on going but generally speaking the roads nice and smooth.
That said, in a few places it can be quite narrow, especially if there are pedestrains about. I suspect when the government first began to create the riverside parks that they hadn't anticipated just how popular cycling would become in Taiwan.
After about an hour or so I met up with Phil and we continued on towards Danshui passing the Gaundu temple. It's a beautiful temple with a long tunnel inside and it's well worth a visit if you're ever nearby.
We arrived in Danshui after about another hour and headed up Zhongshan road to a mexican restaurant called Eddy's Cantina. The food was great though I ate too much making the ride home all the more difficult!
After watching the sunset we began to make our way home, stopping to take some pictures. I need to take my camera stand next time and get some better shots as at night the scenery is even better with all the lit up buildings and bridges.
It took about another 2 hours to get home and I was well and truely knackered! Hiking is easy for me but I think I need to work on my cycling!

HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU. Researchers say elephants recognize themselves in a mirror.
From ArsTechnica:
The [study's] authors discuss how this self-awareness has been proposed to be a necessary ingredient of empathy: without the ability to recognize needs specific to a "self," animals can't recognize similar needs in others.Are they talking about elephants or the Republican party?
THAT'S THE WAY THE BALL BOUNCES. The NBA's new synthetic basketball does indeed bounce differently, according to a University of Texas study that confirms what many players suspected. Maverick Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban funded the research. The NBA isn't asking for changes. Neither is Cuban.
"Nothing," he told The Associated Press in an e-mail. "Just try to support the commissioner and the league to the fullest of my ability with the data."Something that could've been done without a study, we observe.
GIMME AN "F," GIMME AN "E," GIMME A "D," GIMME AN "S!" The federal government is demanding several school districts in New York state place cheerleaders at girls' sporting events. This comes after a parent complained.
How can the goverment stick its fingers in this? It's called Title IX.
We note football cheerleeders are not affected by this order because boys' football doesn't have a girls' counterpart... yet.
LEGALLY ARMED. An Illinois man is under arrest in connection with an explosion at Salt Lake City's main library last month that blew out a window and forced evacuations.
From the AP:
Thomas Zajac's fingerprint was on remnants of a rocket igniter found at the scene, according to court documents unsealed Monday. Zajac, 53, is charged with possessing an unregistered destructive device... Authorities said an igniter available at hobby shops was used, along with galvanized pipe, a 9-volt battery and a 60-minute kitchen timer."Unregistered Destructive Device" -- Hey, don't forget to do the paperwork on that hand grenade before you hit the streets with it!
GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. Sheriff H. Franklin Cassell of Henry County, Virginia and 12 of his employees -- past and present -- are accused of selling guns and drugs seized from criminals back to citizens.
From the AP:
The region's textile and furniture industries have been in decline and its unemployment rate is higher than the state average. The area is best known for the Martinsville Speedway, where NASCAR races are run twice a year.Running cars, running drugs, running guns -- not what we at The Lightning Round would consider a model community trademark.
Cassell... was quoted by investigators as saying the only way to acquire wealth is to be "a little crooked and not get caught."State law says Sheriff Cassell's salary ranged somewhere between $85,500 to $93,500. He also owns a trucking company. How did "crooked" even enter his mind?
YOU CAN'T DO THAT ON TELEVISION. The general manager of TV stations WVII and WFVX in Bangor, Maine has banned all global warming stories.
According to The New York Times, Michael Palmer said when "Bar Harbor is underwater, then we can do global warming stories."
Dr. James Hansen of Columbia University and NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies gives the response I would give:
"If you wait until Bar Harbor is underwater, it's too late," Dr. Hansen said. "It won't be just Bar Harbor that is underwater, but many places around the globe including parts of Florida, Bangladesh and the Nile Delta."And maybe then, they'll put the nightside reporter on it.

Speaker Cable Polarity + Software Question + Fuzz!
HellMek posted a topic in Spider IV / Spider OnlineHello! I did disconnect the speaker wires on my Spider IV 75 combo to connect it to an external 4x12. Now i want to reconnect the internal speaker and i did not document which lead is positive and negative! Can someone please look it up for me? I also have a question about the editing software. How do i "clone" a preset? (So i can copy a sound, keeping the basic sound and do small tweaks, for example just add delay to my sound). And, if someone have nice fuzz presets for stoner rock, like Fu Manchu etc. please share! You can have my presets back :)

There have been many predictions about 2019 and what it will bring, and anything from clothing to technology has been foreshadowed at this point. What we don't hear much about is cuisine, which is always ever-changing behind the scenes. A new year brings with it the excitement of innovative methods, new palates, and exciting ways to showcase ingredients. Many of these will become popular and even make it to grocery stores, while others will remain locked behind restaurant doors, only available to those daring enough to make a reservation.
Whether or not any of the forecasted trends for 2019 will be long-lasting is irrelevant; the fact is that they exist now, and we'll definitely be seeing them at some point or another throughout the next year. We've done our research and sifted through everything from donuts to meatless meat in order to find trends that are already on the map. Food is getting the overhaul it deserves, and with the last teen year of the 2000s, out go the traditional snacks, and in come those that intrigue and delight us... Hopefully. Here are 20 food trends that will inevitably make a splash in the upcoming year and have garnered enough attention to deserve a spotlight from us.
20 Donuts Are Finally Getting The Attention They Deserve
Donuts have spent their fair amount of time being under attack for being too "high calorie," "too sugary," and overall "bad for you." The time of their rising (pun absolutely intended) is now, and it's happening quickly. Not only have some pretty brilliant bakers figured out how to create these delectable delights with half the amount of sugar, but some are even crafting vegan and gluten-free options. Additionally, donuts are getting a much-needed facelift. Rather than finding traditional stale, frosted-with-sprinkles donuts, we'll be seeing much more from exotic fillings, unique frosting flavors, and topping partners such as maple frosting and crispy bacon... Start loosening those waistbands.
19 Restaurant Gardens Will Be Growing
That's right—all of the farm-to-table love that was so heavily embraced in 2018 will be pushing its way into 2019 as well. In the midwest, there are several restaurants that are embracing the idea of starting their own gardens for self-sufficiency as well as creative reasons. Rooftop gardens are also gaining in popularity, allowing chefs to be no more than a short walk from fresh produce. This allows more diverse menu specials, a self-grown menu, and healthier options for those looking for plant-based cuisine. It's one trend we can definitely get behind and are happy to see making its way into the new year.
18 Celtuce - And No, That's Not A Typo
This strange veggie is definitely familiar-looking yet completely foreign. Hosea Rosenburg, a winner of Top Chef, calls this veggie "celtuce," and it's clear to see why. The vegetable has the top half of a lettuce leaf with a bottom half that somewhat resembles celery... but not quite. It's supposedly comparable to kale and provides many of the same health benefits. If one is brave enough to try this new veggie creation, it can be used in salads and juices just as kale would. We can't help you out as far as the flavor profile, but we can imagine it would be very similar to a dark leafy green... Interesting.
17 Faux Meat Snacks Are Gaining Speed
We know it seems as though a meatless lifestyle is far outpacing the rest of the food trends for 2019... and that's because it is. While it began early on as something that many people didn't understand, as soon as vegetarian and vegan dishes started making their way into restaurants, people stopped turning their heads. Now, it's common to find that many families eat at least one plant-based meal a week. Even Gordon Ramsay recently added a vegan dish to his menu for vegan January! Faux meat snacks are going to play a huge role in preventing people from grabbing a Slim Jim or pack of beef jerky on their way through the checkout line. These snacks are high in fiber and protein, giving you all the necessary benefits without being anti-animal.
16 A Classic Revolutionized: Cheese Pairings
Cheese lovers unite! Along with cocktail and dinner parties, cheese is also making a wicked comeback. The days of old-fashioned cheese platters are out, and in are elegant and quirky cheese plates. Chutneys, exotic jams, mixed nuts, avant-garde pickled veg, and international aged meats are making their way onto the appetizer scene. With the rise in breweries around the country, so comes with it the rise of pairing snacks. Cheese and meat plates have always been traditional, and now, cheesemaking is simply exploding in popularity in the US. Everyone seems to be looking for that unique flavor that'll impress their friends, and cheese plates can be easily arranged and packed up and are super fun to eat. All hail the dairy cows (and goats and sheep)!
15 Nitro Coffee Is Changing Mornings As We Know It
Along with the pop in breweries, the pop in coffee brews is also gaining speed. Coffee will never go out of style, and while 2018 saw the rise of canned coffee blends and ice coffee twists, 2019 is paving the way for caffeine blends such as nitro coffee. This innovative way of brewing coffee is incredibly simple: by adding a bit of nitrogen (it's safe, don't worry) to coffee, it creates a unique foam that adds the illusion of sweetness. This has since been used experimentally with other beverages, but coffee remains its most popular success. The added foam is similar to a latte but with nothing else added, making for a latte-like experience with sugar or cream and making a traditional coffee much richer and dense.
14 Street Food Using Exotic Spice Blends
Another cuisine that we saw rising to the top in 2018 was street food, whether it be served from a food truck or a street cart. This traditional yet new style of cooking has been well loved and continues to thrive, and scratch cooking can be thanked for this. The addition of seemingly "new" spices has elevated the flavor of traditional foods like never before. Using the technique of fusion can also enhance a dish, as it's combined with another culture's method of cooking or flavoring. Exotic spice blends are on the rise as far as cooking goes, though, with chefs looking for more ways than ever to ramp up a dish and push the bounds of flavor.
13 Strange Yet Intriguing Seafood Snacks
In 2018, we saw the rise of nori, or seaweed, lining the snack shelves. It had a taste similar to pure ocean water with a slightly salty bite and packed a wallop when it came to nutrition. This year, we're likely to see even more of that. Algae and kelp are both making their way (slowly) to snack shelves and provide the same health benefits as, if not more than, their seaweed cousin. Additionally, things such as salmon skin can provide a decent amount of omega-3 without any vitamins necessary. For meatless eaters, algae-based snacks might soon be replacing traditional tuna in a can, which is great news for those looking for a healthy on-the-go snack.
12 Vegan Options Will Be Everywhere
This was to be expected following the vegan food explosion we saw in 2018. Throughout 2019, there's no denying that vegan and plant-based food will be on the rise. The only difference is that it'll likely be overwhelmingly present in grocery stores and in major chains as well as specialty stores. This is obviously great news for those who practice veganism, but it's also an excellent tactic to get those who have little experience with it to try the new lifestyle. It never hurts to get a veggie in now and then, and going vegan or vegetarian for one night a week (aka "meatless Monday") can help boost a well-balanced meal plan. The options will be endless, and who knows? One day, vegan patties could be as normal as grilling up a bison burger at a BBQ.
11 International Breakfast Menus
Over the last year, we seem to have watched brunch come back to life with vivacious and brilliant menus. Eggs Benedict was on every menu and served in every creative way possible, eggy bread was stuffed with every available ingredient, and pancakes became gluten-free, carb-less, and reached previously unseen levels of flavor. For fans of the popular not-quite-breakfast but not-quite-lunch meal, this was exciting and refreshing. No longer were we required to wake up at 8 AM for breakfast before coffee; we could lounge for an hour or two and then casually meet up with friends and still expect a glorious breakfast. Many restaurants are accomplishing this allure by taking from other cuisines, providing international brunch buffet menus clear into 2019... We're totally here for it.
10 The Hummus Craze
Hummus is on every street corner, it seems, and in every variation possible. Spinach and artichoke, caramelized onion, roasted red pepper, lemon, and even chocolate-flavored hummus—you name it, there's a corresponding flavor for it. Chickpeas are even openly embraced in vegan recipes now, lending themselves to recipes such as dairy-free "cookie dough" (that actually works and is bakeable). Hummus is an excellent source of protein, and restaurants are now learning the perks of slathering it on sandwiches and wraps, giving lunch that extra boost of flavor we all crave. Hummus platters seemed to be on every hip restaurant the last year, and it's definitely making its move in 2019 as well.
9 Beverages Will Be Innovative And Fun
We're not even talking about adult beverages (although this has gotten a total remaster as well)—we're talking things such as Kombucha, bubble tea, smoothies, coffee, etc. Throughout 2017 into 2018, coconut water seemed to be the hottest trend, but now, exotic fruits and added veggies are making their way onto the scene. While juicing was at one point the norm, we're not seeing elevated and updated versions of this classic fruit bar beverage. Molecular gastronomy has been playing a slight hand in these updates in some restaurants, lending itself to innovative presentations and fun twists on classic and traditional beverages. This is seen overwhelming in places such as Japan, where drinks are just as visually pleasing as food dishes.
8 Food Experiences Over Food Dining
Restaurants such as Alinea, owned by world-renowned molecular gastronomy chef Grant Achatz, started this notion of transformative dining. Rather than walk into a restaurant expecting a traditional seating and ordering, these restaurants are turning meals into something interactive. Whether it be desserts or a tantalizing main course, chefs have gotten the idea in their heads to encourage customers to explore their food before diving in to devour it. This is overwhelmingly popular with desserts, and anything from crackable shells to sugar cages set on fire has been fair game. This interaction gives customers an appreciation for the art of cooking and allows the chefs to get creative with their skills.
7 Keto Cuisine Is Taking Over
Whether you were a fan of the Keto train or not, there's no denying that it's forcing its way into 2019. Keto, short for "Ketosis," is a new type of eating style that eliminates nearly all carbohydrates from a meal plan in order to push one's body into a state of ketosis, naturally burning fatty tissue. This is the (extremely) short explanation, as there's plenty of detail involved, including "good" carbs vs. "bad," number of carbohydrates allowed per day, balance of proteins, fiber, sugar, etc. Regardless, it's a trend that many people are using to successfully allow them a healthier lifestyle, and it's slowly making its way up to the big guys in the kitchen. We can expect to see this consistent upward trend through the next year as it gains popularity.
6 Anything With Hemp
Surprise! Hemp is no longer used only for making those crazy bracelets we all had in the early 2000s. Hemp, not to be confused with its derivative that's not yet legal in all 50 states, is actually legal everywhere. This is most useful in seed form, where it's comparable to chia seeds. Hemp seeds provide a high source of fiber and protein, but the benefits don't end there. Studies have also shown that they might be beneficial in cardiovascular health, might lessen PMS and menopausal symptoms, and can promote healthy digestion and overall gut health. Although hemp seeds can be eaten, they're also used to create products such as hemp milk and hemp tea, both of which offer the same health benefits.
5 More Frozen Options
It might seem counterproductive to the healthy food trends that everyone is on board for in the new year, but this isn't necessarily true. Frozen foods, once known to be belly-bomb burgers and fried appetizers, have been transformed over recent years. Frozen options now include anything from low-calorie sides to gluten-free options and premiere veggie burgers. Additionally, frozen entrees have been cleaned up to now be made healthier and more family friendly. Stores such as Trader Joe's and Target have been improving and expanding their personal frozen food lines for years, and it's beginning to show. No longer is it considered giving in to buy a frozen entree; it's viewed as time saving and efficient.
4 Environmentally Thoughtful Snacking
This is a happy moment in 2019's history. Being environmentally conscientious is no longer just an idea; it's a lifestyle. Over the previous year, we saw the rise of snacks that took into account the impact we're having on our environment. Food became a way to spread a message, and some of the population began listening. Whether it was by way of donating proceeds to an environmental organization or by using environmentally friendly or recyclable packaging, the point got across that we needed to start changing our lifestyles. Many companies jumped on the bandwagon, which is a great thing in this case, and because of it, we're seeing more and more eco-friendly methods in the food industry.
3 CBD Oil Is Holistic And Healthy
There's little debate now about whether or not CBD is actually good for you. The addition of CBD oil to just about everything nowadays isn't just a trend; it's something that's actually beneficial to nearly every aspect of the human body. It's a cannabinoid and comes with a myriad of properties that are too long to list here, but many include anxiety relief, natural pain relief, heart health, skin repair, digestion aid, cardiovascular control. It's essentially a natural cure-all for whatever ails you, depending on how high a dosage you're using. We've seen it used in nearly anything: coffee, smoothies, and even in foods. It will likely continue to be used most commonly for stress relief.
2 The Idea Of "Peganism" (Paleo + Vegan)
Paleo cuisine and vegan lifestyles seem to go hand in hand with each other. They're both highly regarded as being much healthier than any typical meal plan, and although one cuts out meat and the others encourages it, they can be easily adapted to be one and the same. Paleo consists of eating natural plant-based foods and avoiding anything processed, while veganism entails avoiding anything animal based. When combined, the result has been called "peganism" and is something that's rapidly gaining attention and popularity. Whether or not we'll find this combination lifestyle displayed on any restaurant menus is questionable, but it's been spotted in smaller cafes that cater to a healthier lifestyle.
1 Kombucha Will Still Be Going Strong
That's right—the beverage that most people either love or hate will still hold its reputation well into 2019. Kombucha has been highly regarded as being one of the top healthy choices for strong gut health, and it's easy to see why. Not only does it slide down easily and provide a ton of great fermentation for your overall digestive health, but it's also readily available in almost every grocery and convenience store. Something we're likely to see in 2019 is the addition of homemade Kombucha, which is both a fun and rewarding process. Many have already taken this challenge on, especially those who cater to a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle and ensure all their food is procured from scratch. Rock on, Kombucha fans.

Dear parents,
Welcome back and welcome to Year 6! Our topic for this term is about World War Two – Can one person change the world? What role did borders play in WW2 and how did they change as a result of the war? Attached is a curriculum plan of an overview of the work being covered. Below are areas of work the children will be learning about.
Maths: place value (ordering, comparing, adding and subtracting using numberlines and place value charts) and calculations using all four operations.
Science: recognising that light appears to travel in straight lines, understanding the idea that light travels in straight lines and understanding that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye.
R.E: Exploring the Ten Commandments, both the traditional version and modern version and discussing their relevance to our lives today.
Art: Creating a propaganda poster.
English: guided reading, spelling strategies, grammar, punctuation, writing an alternative ending to 'Goodnight Mr Tom' and reading comprehension.
Home Learning
It is very important that your child continues to read regularly at home, either by themselves or to an adult. Reading is a key home learning activity that helps with: understanding the world around them, understanding vocabulary, spellings, ideas for their writing, punctuation and grammar. Ideally, we would like your child to read five times a week. Although ideally we would like your child to read an Accelerated Reader Program book, reading matter could include novels, comics, newspapers, annuals, recipes and non-fiction books. They do not need to read pages and pages if they don't want to, but little and often would be great. The children need to record in their reading records if they have read at home. It would be great if, on occasions, an adult could listen to them read and record this in their reading records too. Asking questions about the plot, characters, setting, vocabulary etc. would really help with their understanding of the text. With the introduction of 'Accelerated Reader', there will be regular monitoring of reading books to make sure your child has an appropriate book for their ability and understands what they are reading.
In school, the children will be having daily spelling activities based on the spelling rules and words for year 6. Although they will not be bringing spellings home to learn for a test, I have attached the words the children are expected to learn by the end of year 6. This allows you and your child, if you wish, to practise these words and their meanings at home, as well as in school. Also, attached to this letter are some strategies to help learn spellings that we hope you find useful.
Number facts and maths targets
Knowing number facts helps considerably with their understanding in calculation strategies. In school, your child will be given time (in addition to maths lessons) to practise times tables and related division facts. If your child know their times tables and the related division facts, then they will then have other maths targets to work on based on the year 6 curriculum. If you wish to work with your child on these facts/targets, they are printed in the front of their maths books. Please feel free to come in and have a look. For your information, attached is a copy of the number fact knowledge for each year group.
As well as helping your child with their number facts, any 'real life' experience would really help with understanding worded problems. These two step problems can often prove tricky to children as they are based on real life problems the children have not faced. Cooking and shopping are particularly valuable examples of real-life experiences.
In the spring term your child will bring home activities to help with these assessments, but I will give more information in next term's letter.
Our P.E days this term are Tuesday and Wednesday. Please ensure that your child has appropriate kit in school on those days.
Please don't hesitate to come and see me if you have any concerns about your child or their work.
Thank you for your support,
Juliette Endacott (class teacher)

Professor Dumpster needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 308 designs submitted by 56 freelance designers.
less is more (optional) ... we would like designs that BOTH have the slogan and don't
*** the DESIGNS we are getting in are TOO LITERAL i.e. they are just a dumpster or the outline of a dumpster. We are looking for something more creative for the design - something that hints at a dumpster but leaves a little mystery and a little imagination ****
*** your logo should be FUN and PLAYFUL if possible (yet clean) ***
*** it should somehow HINT at the fact it is a dumpster (especially when there is no text in the logo)
***logo needs to work well on a website, print and digital collateral, and possibly on the Dumpster
***color palette needs to be streamlined and sophisticated yet engaging (no B&W or grayscale logos)
*** font should be similarly simple yet inviting (and easy to read!)
*** DUMPSTER needs to be in all caps. It's actually an acronym for Developing Underutilized
Methods for Promoting Sustainable, Transformative
Education & Research
We are looking for a representation of a "container that can be transformed" or a "container for living" and some connection to sustainability or economy of form.
DESCRIPTION of overall DUMPSTER project....
What if we were to live in a world with less?…Less consumption, less waste, less clutter. Our lives could be simpler, our environment healthier, and our communities stronger. The DUMPSTER Project boldly seeks to explore the possibilities of a life with less through a yearlong experiment in which a cross disciplinary team turns a dumpster into a dynamic and interactive lab for sustainable living. As an innovative teaching
and technology platform, the DUMPSTER project will engage us all via an online portal and mobile lab in the journey to a lighter footprint.
Goals. The two primary objectives of DUMPSTER are:
• To build the most carefully designed small living space ever constructed with the exception of a manned space capsule; and
• To inspire the next generation to live more sustainably. The key thrust of this project is to invigorate conversation and action amongst K-12 students, college students, local communities and the wider public to be mindful about the general theme of 'less is more – much more' both formally (in University and K-12 educational curriculum) and informally (through film and community talks).
During the yearlong DUMPSTER project, an Environmental Science Professor, aka 'Professor Dumpster' will live in a trash dumpster that has been retrofitted to include sustainable technologies and design principles aimed at reducing waste. Retrofitted technologies for the dumpster will include, for example, potable water filtered from local surface and capture; a composting toilet; a solar-heated shower; and solar-generated electricity.
Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com for any questions.
FUN! not corporate!!! (please)... this is about living in a dumpster and making it a home... not making money!
Likes: clean - a simple box/dumpster | colors - mature and vivid to catch the attention of children and adults alike.
Convey: education, science/tech, design
Target audience: Secondary students that range from 12-18 years old. They are interested in science and learning about their environment.
Secondary audience: General public who are interested in learning about sustainable living and well-being.
The idea is to create the dumpster image in a unique, creative, and simple. Below are research examples and inspiration.

The secretary of the Army has launched an effort to do away with time-consuming policies, regulations and training so commanders and soldiers can focus on improving combat readiness and lethality.
The service released a string of memos Friday in which Army Secretary Mark Esper alters and in many cases eliminates dozens of mundane requirements considered mandatory duties for commanders and units in the past.
"In order to build a more capable and lethal force, Headquarters, Department of the Army, is reducing requirements in brigade and below units; this effort focuses on a systematic simplification, reduction, or elimination of required activities (training and non-training) which consume commanders', leaders' and soldiers' time that they might otherwise spend building combat readiness," according to an April 13 memo signed by Esper.
"All Army units, organizations, and agencies will ensure that they prioritize execution of all activities and use time to enhance the readiness and lethality of our formations," it continues. "Commanders and leaders will ensure that they prioritize the time required to generate combat readiness."
Commanders have "full authority while making prudent risk-informed decisions to simplify, reduce, or eliminate those tasks which are not combat related," the memo states.
The Army released the nine memos, sent out between April 13 and June 4, after they surfaced on Facebook earlier this week.
The memos, in some cases, deal with simplifying training requirements on necessary battlefield skills.
Media awareness training is out. And the Army no longer mandates the time-honored tradition of personally owned vehicle inspections prior to long weekends or holidays.
Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear training as well as improvised explosive device training, "as outlined in AR 350-1, is no longer a standalone requirement and should be incorporated into units' mission essential task training as part of the operational environment," one says.
Another memo states, "Substance Abuse Prevention training is no longer an annual requirement nor is it required for leave. Commanders may direct the requirement on a case-by-case basis or as mission dictates a need."
Transgender training is now complete across the total Army, so "units no longer need to report training status," one memo states.
Other memos deal with the mundane: The "semi-annual tool room/tool crib inventory requirement, as defined in AR 710-2, is reduced to an annual inventory requirement."
And "company commanders are no longer required to conduct internal audits of dining facility headcounts as outlined in AR 600-38."
Esper directs commanders to review their administrative processes and "reduce the burden on units and soldiers plus make recommendations to eliminate or simplify tasks back to HQDA G-3/5/7," the April 13 memo states.
For example, the Army will no longer require use of the Travel Risk Planning System, or TRiPS, as a mandatory document for soldiers to take leave.
"It is this type of burdensome requirement that unnecessarily weighs down our Army from focusing on its core mission," Esper said. "These types of tools may be used on a case-by-case basis when situations dictate, but not as a general rule. Completing a DA-31 leave/pass form, coupled with a safety briefing by the soldier's supervisor, is sufficient."
Commanders with the rank of major general and state adjutants general are delegated the authority to exempt units from mandatory training requirements in "instances where the unit can demonstrate insufficient time available to achieve readiness requirements," the April 13 memo states.
"Additionally, mandatory training will not have a prescribed location or method for conducting training. Online training may be used to supplement training conducted by leaders; but does not suffice as a substitute for it," the memo states.
"These memorandums will be captured in an Army directive that will be published this summer," according to Army spokesman Maj. Christopher Ophardt. "This directive will ensure that existing Army directives and regulations are updated to reflect the secretary's guidance."

One of the reason why I love my Mac so much is because it boots up in no time. However, as it usually happens with any computer you've been using for long – it start to slow down. The same happened with my Mac and it became more evident after Mac OS X Lion install. Though it starts up much faster than a PC, still I started to miss my old Mac, which used to boot up in no time.
I have been reading the biography of Steve Jobs and I read the interesting conversation, which I would like to mention. Please skip the below paragraph if you're already aware of the folklore.
One of the things that bothered Steve Jobs the most was the time that it took to boot when the Mac was first powered on. It could take a couple of minutes, or even more, to test memory, initialize the operating system, and load the Finder. One afternoon, Steve came up with an original way to motivate us to make it faster. Larry Kenyon was the engineer working on the disk driver and file system. Steve came into his cubicle and started to exhort him. "The Macintosh boots too slowly. You've got to make it faster!" Larry started to explain about some of the places where he thought that he could improve things, but Steve wasn't interested. He continued, "You know, I've been thinking about it. How many people are going to be using the Macintosh? A million? No, more than that. In a few years, I bet five million people will be booting up their Macintoshes at least once a day." "Well, let's say you can shave 10 seconds off of the boot time. Multiply that by five million users and thats 50 million seconds, every single day. Over a year, that's probably dozens of lifetimes. So if you make it boot ten seconds faster, you've saved a dozen lives. That's really worth it, don't you think?" We were pretty motivated to make the software go as fast as we could anyway, so I'm not sure if this pitch had much effect, but we thought it was pretty humorous, and we did manage to shave more than ten seconds off the boot time over the next couple of months.
After my Mac slowed down after the Mac OS X Lion upgrade, I blamed it on the upgrade and continued to live with the "my slowed down Mac". However, the above article pumped me into making an action. From this article, it was clean that Mac OS X Lion did not slow down my Mac – it has to be the installs I've done in my Mac. So, I decided to revisit my Login items and found a few there. Once I removed these, my Mac boot up time reduced drastically as it no longer had to boot up those applications as well.
If you faced similar situation and would like to resolve it, follow the below steps :
1. Go to System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Login Items
2. Delete all the applications which you really do not need them started every time your Mac restarts.
It can be done by highlighting the application name you want removed and then clicking the "-" button.
Let me know if the solution worked for you as well. Also, let me know if you have any other suggestions. Mac speed troubleshooting tips are also available in our previous post Speed Your Mac in 5 Easy Steps

DC Comics President talks about the SUPERMAN reboot and other upcoming DC comics movies
Latino Review's Kellvin Chavez was able to talk with DC Comics President Paul Levitz, who revealed that despite the overhaul of the Superman movie franchise with a planned reboot, apparently, Brandon Routh is still going to be involved in the said reboot and will reprise his role as Superman.
Levitz also mentions that the Green Lantern movie is going along well, even moving faster than the Supermax project. They are currently waiting for Chris Nolan to sign the deal with the next Batman, and that they want him to commit to a July 2011 release. If that happens then the following superhero films will be released: Green Lantern for Summer 2010, Batman 3 for Summer 2011, and the New Superman reboot for Summer 2012. [READ FULL INTERVIEW BY CLICKING HERE]
In my opinion, Brandon Routh has to watch more repetitions of the latest John Rambo movie, has to eat more pork barbecue and Red Horse (Filipino Beer), and has to listen to more Hatebreed or classic Metallica albums...before he could play a real SUPERMAN, and shed off the lousy wussy excuse of a superhero that him and Bryan Singer created.

The rounded silhoute of the Grow pots balance on an apparently ordinary piece of wood. The shape of the pots grow from the tangent point and all the way up, providing plenty of internal space to grow herbs and plants. The grow series is ideal for a little home garden of herbs and creating various installations with the pots.
The pots are made at one of the few ceramic manufacturers in Norway, located in the southeastern part of the country. The clay in this area is ideal for pottery and sourced from right outside the factory.

It all Started with 'CARE' – Reasons . . .
What It Means To Partner With A World . . .
Reading my colleague Stewart Robbins' recent article on avoiding common pitfalls when looking to use advanced analytics and big data, I thought I'd pick up on some of the themes mentioned and apply them to the world of analytics.
Various quotations, attributed to a wide range of thinkers, writers and thought leaders, have made the point that the best way to predict the future is to define it for yourself. My background is in financial services – specifically risk analytics – where the most common modelling approach is to use behaviour and trends from the past, along with current state knowledge, to estimate future outcomes.
Can we perhaps apply this paradigm to the environment in which we perform the analytics, and by understanding better some of the challenges, define a brighter future?
The financial services industry is currently exhibiting several potentially disruptive trends and important market conditions. These factors, and some of their results include:
Faced with all these challenges, what should we do? The graphic below encapsulates my view of the key steps in breaking the cycle, and it starts with understanding where you already are.
Once you understand where you are – what your strengths and weaknesses are – you can define where you want to go, then create a plan and execute. In many respects, understanding your target state – in a technology agnostic, business language sense – is perhaps the most important of all the steps. However, it must not remain fixed forever, but rather be the best vision you can create at any point in time. I would advocate adopting an agile, iterative approach to defining your vision, revisiting each of these steps and making minor adjustments to course-correct as you progress.
As you begin to embark on your analytics journey, I would recommend keeping in mind the four key principles outlined below, supported by some more specific actions for each one, to ensure each step you take remains in line with your evolving strategic goals.
To summarise, I have brought together my nine tips for success, mapped against the key themes of planning for success, measuring your progress and being agile in the way you do so.
I hope this article has helped in some small way to stimulate thinking or debate about how to build your analytic capability for tomorrow. If you can do so without feeling you need to scrap everything you have today, but can adapt and adopt and still make good progress, then this article will have done its job.

Routines and Rituals
Routines and rituals sound similar, and they are, except for the attitude or motivation behind each. Both are important in recovery because they provide structure. Usually, active addiction means little to no structure. Our days were filled with craving, planning how to get our next fix, drinking or using, and repeating the whole cycle over and over again. If you were functioning enough to partake in any routine or ritual, you most likely didn't enjoy it. A big part of recovery is learning how to enjoy life, no matter how boring or redundant it may feel at times. You can develop routines that you begin to enjoy. For instance, going to a daily meeting may feel difficult at first, but if you keep going you will want to go because that is where your friends are.
Think about what you enjoy about your daily routine. It could be making your morning coffee, reading or listening to the news, going for a jog, or starting off your day with a nice breakfast. After work, you go to the gym, make dinner, watch your favorite show, and end the day with your bedtime routine. For people in recovery, having a schedule leaves little time for a wandering mind. When the drugs and alcohol are gone, we have to fill our time with things we enjoy as well as things we have to take care of. When you're in a routine, the stress of thinking about what you need to do next is removed, and you are able to go about your day more efficiently.
Rituals require more thought and focus. Meditation is a ritual for many and it can provide energy, peace, and enjoyment. Reading a book before bed, or lighting candles and taking a warm bath are also enjoyable rituals. You can make your daily life into anything you want it to be, and if you do things you enjoy, activities that were once chores may not feel like it anymore. For instance, if you can't stand your morning commute, try listening to a podcast you enjoy or a book on tape. We have the ability to adjust our lives to fit our purpose, and sometimes even the smallest tweaks can make all the difference.
If you are struggling with addiction, call the Serenity Recovery Center. You do not have to stay stuck in your addiction, your life can change. Give us a call, we are available 24/7, toll-free at (844-339-6964). Recovery is possible, and it can happen for you if you want it. Call now.

(Reuters) - UK transport company Go-Ahead Group Plc (GOG.L) on Thursday reported full-year revenue that beat market expectations, but profit was dented as its rail division suffered from the loss of the London Midland franchise.
Go-Ahead said revenue rose because of its bus operations in Singapore and new operations in Ireland.
Analysts on an average expected annual revenue of 3.44 billion pounds, according to Refinitiv Eikon data.
The company said it expects lower operating profit for its rail division in 2020. But the Govia Thameslink Railway franchise, which includes Thameslink and Southern services between London and the south coast, is expected to generate a modest profit margin in 2020, the company said.
Go-Ahead said revenue rose 10% to 3.81 billion pounds, however, pretax profit tumbled 33.4% to 97 million pounds for the year ended June 29.
