10 Mantras for life
habitual thoughts
Our minds are tricky and can be filled with habitual thought patterns, PTSD driven, co-dependent, overactive mind, stress driven, etc.. It can be so challenging to create a positive life and truly experience hope and possibilities when your mind is spinning out in any of these directions. Along with grounding practices I've found that mantras are a powerful way to both give my mind something to do and keep a creative positive focus.
One place I've found mantras to be particularly helpful is with a specific thought pattern I'm working with healing. For example the voice in my head that says, "You are in trouble, you've done something wrong," or the one that says "You're not beautiful enough or your belly is too big so people won't love you."
As soon as the negative thought enters my mind I begin in with my mantra, repeating it until I feel I have control of my thoughts again. It helps to boost the power of your mantra. Spend some time cultivating it. 15-30 minutes of truly allowing it to enter my being by repeating it, resonating with it, and rolling it around inside myself means when I need to reach for it I have a strong foundation.
When the unwanted thoughts come the mantra flows easily in my mind because the pattern has already begun to settle into me. It still takes a bit of effort to override those ingrained thought patterns.
With each new phase of healing a new neurosis or habituated thought pattern emerges as primary. Then it's time for a new mantra.
I've found that eventually a mantra seeps into my being and becomes less needed. Sometimes I'll even forget about it for a while. This marks a plateau phase of healing.
healing balm
Your mantra should feel like a healing balm to the particular pain created by the neurotic thinking you are experiencing. It may feel unbelievable at first. It may feel like a stretch. But somehow you feel deep down it is the antidote to what ails you.
I often work with mantras with my healing clients. It gives people a practice that they can develop within themselves and anchors the healing into their body and daily life. Spiritual practices are not separate from living. They become the breath of our living, infusing life with meaning.
the how
I like mantras that have a thought with the IN breath and one on the OUT breath.
For example my first abundance mantra:
I accept myself (IN breath)
And trust the flow (OUT breath)
Once you have developed your mantra it is helpful to spend some time cultivating it. Breath in and out, relax, let it roll around inside you. 15-30 minutes is a great start.
If you have a regular meditation practice this is a good time to allow your mantra to take you to that deeper place within yourself.
Once your mantra is settled on and you have begun to cultivate it regularly, try repeating it while you are driving or washing dishes, then you will have it when those persistent thought patterns come.
These mantras can inspire you to create your own. Keep working with it till you create one that resonates with you. It must be yours and you must feel connected to it. This is what makes it powerful.
10 mantras for life
I would love to hear from you if one of these mantras helps you. They are meant for inspiration. Sometimes when you choose a mantra it changes as you repeat it. Go with the natural process and guidance of your soul.
If you would like more support I work with clients both in my healing space and over the phone.

TV: Les Misérables - Hugo's novel and this adaptation both offer a message of hope
Derek McMillan
Les Misérables started life as a three-volume novel by Victor Hugo written during his political exile from France. In the preface, he wrote: "So long as the three problems of the age - the degradation of man by poverty, the ruin of women by starvation, and the dwarfing of childhood by physical and spiritual night - are not solved; ... so long as ignorance and misery remain on earth, books like this cannot be useless."
Victor Hugo was identified in the public mind with the main character, Jean Valjean. When a reactionary mob attacked Hugo's house in Brussels at the time of the Paris Commune (1871) - he had denounced the Belgian government's refusal to grant political asylum to the revolutionary Communards - they shouted "Down with Jean Valjean"!
To adapt a three-volume novel into a TV series is no mean feat and it does make the story available to a whole new audience.
The character played by Dominic West - prisoner 24601, Jean Valjean - dominates the narrative of the BBC production of Les Misérables. There are no spoilers in this review but his fate represents the incredible injustice of the regime in France and the appalling treatment of the poor in the wake of the defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo.
Fantine and her impossible task of keeping her daughter and her job is brilliantly portrayed by Lily Collins. The poor in general had a rough deal in that period; the working-class women suffered it twofold. It is the death of Fantine which spurs Jean Valjean into action and begins a chain of events which disrupt the comfortable life he has made for himself.
Dark side
The vicious behaviour of Javert, the policeman, played by David Oyelowo is a personalisation of the cruelty of the law. Jean Valjean's 19 years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread is justified for Javert because "it's the law".
Those familiar with the musical version will remember the comic roles of Thérnardier and his wife. The dark side of the characters is much more to the fore in this adaptation. However, the scene in episode three where Madame Thérnadier (Olivia Colman) is making a game out of beating Cosette, to the great amusement of the clientele of their inn, is brilliantly choreographed. It is a situation in which the laughter of the audience is crueller than the actions of the actor.
For all the darkness, the novel and this adaptation both offer a message of hope. Jean Valjean's personal struggle for redemption could be a metaphor for the redemption of French society - which the revolutionaries of the day, like the 'gilets jaunes' (yellow vests) of today, seek to bring about. Socialists should be inspired by this story.

As someone who can, at times, be a complete lazy-ass, I do occasionally find it inspirational to ready articles on sites like Successify! The site is all about being inspirational and up-lifting while helping you build strategies for being more successful in the future.
Of course, it would probably help if I put more of their tips into practice. 😉 But even if I don't actually use these tips, I do find it makes me look at how I organise my life and look to the future, which is always a good thing.
I would never consider myself an expert on being successful or motivating others (far from it!!). However I think it is helpful to get different perspectives on the same topics… So here is my own take on the site's article 7 Ways to Have an Amazing Day.
#1 – Try New Things
For someone like me, who is a creature of habit, this is sometimes easier said than done. I always say I'm going to do something I've never done, be it visiting some historic London landmark I've only previously walked past, or trying that new restaurant.. or even building up the courage to actually approach a guy for once.
I suppose some part of me may be afraid of the unknown and I am way too deep into my own comfort zone, or hell maybe I'm just afraid of trying something new by myself.. But the last thing I want to do is to look back 10 years from now and regret the things I didn't do. Maybe it's time to get out there and enjoy all the new experiences and fantastic moments just waiting for me outside my door..
#2 – Keep Learning
As the original author notes, as kids it seemed like we were learning something new on a daily basis and that feeling of learning something new is amazing (or at least it seemed it was as a kid). However as adults, once we've completed our schooling and gotten ourselves a job, it seems like we all just stop learning.. and that's not good.
As for myself, last year I started an online certification course in Project Management because I thought it would be a good boost for my career and the jobs I was doing at the time.. However after a year of unemployment, the course has been left largely unfinished and has cost me more money in order to continue it. Really need to get off my ass and get back to studying. It'll only help me in the long run.
#3 – Be Kind
Sometimes this is easier said than done.. and in today's busy society (especially in London) where people are constantly running from one place to another, it's quite easy to forget the niceties in life. We've all been on the receiving end of a 'Watch where you're going!' growled at us, even when it was the other person who bumped into us. And let's be honest, most of us when we're traveling home from work, we tend to ignore those around us and frown on those who *gasp* actually attempt eye-contact.
#4 – Stay Productive
Being productive and having something to show for your day can sometimes be easier said then done. I know for myself, there are days where I just want to chill out and relax.. but at the end of the day it can sometimes feel like I've wasted it. A lot of people create 'To-Do' lists (be it for today, this week, or for the month) and that works for them.
Depending on what I'm working on at the time (studying, writing, etc), I'll sometimes create myself a timeline spreadsheet (comes back to the Project Management way of thinking I think..) where I'll give myself goals and deadlines to complete something. I also did something similar when I was unemployed last year as a way to monitor my job hunt while trying to motivate myself to keep looking.
#5 – Avoid the "Success Killers"
Now this is where I tend to lose some valuable productivity time, as I love the 'Success Killers' – television, social media, games, and so forth. I love nothing better than lazing on the sofa watching a 'The Big Bang Theory' marathon or in bed playing Candy Crush or the last Angry Birds game.
But unfortunately sometimes these things eat away at your day a lot faster than you'd like them to to, or even more than you realise. I used to play an online game called 'Kingdoms of Camelot' through Facebook, and I used to spend days on end playing the game or chatting to others in my alliance … Which meant I wasn't doing what I should or needed to be doing, even if it was just doing some writing on here. I still enjoy these games and modes of relaxation, I just need to work on reducing the amount of time they take up my life.
#6 – Look for Ways to Serve
It took me several reads to understand what the original author meant by this point. I initially thought they meant to go out and do charity work, which would be a meaningful way to fulfill this point. But I think what they mean was just to be there for others and work towards developing personal joy or happiness. Basically we need to stop looking for happiness and start help others to feel it instead.. could be as simple as a smile or a 'hello' to someone, a phone call to a friend to thank them for being there for you, or helping someone out when they need it.
This is something everyone needs to work on.
#7 – Find A Purpose
This is all about finding a goal to work towards, something that inspires you and drives you forward. It could be one big goal or several smaller ones that build up to something big, and could be several things at once.. though you don't want to wear yourself too thin.
For me, one of my big goals in life was to come live in Europe, which I achieved back in 2008 when I moved to London and that was a huge achievement for me.
These days, my goals are more around writing on this blog and looking to see what the future holds for it and where it could take me. I am hoping that someday I could write full-time, make this my career and look to writing more fiction (and being published of course). But for the moment I'm concentrating on keeping this site active, entertaining and engaging .. and hopefully it will grown organically to where I want it to be.
Life is all about motivating yourself to where you want to go while encouraging those around you to go for their dreams as well. We all need to work on being more supportive to those who may not have the inner courage to reach for that gold ring.

Lloyd Blankfein
Blankfein in 2012
Lloyd Craig Blankfein
September 20, 1954
New York City, New York, U.S.
|Alma mater
|Harvard University (BA, JD)
|Senior Chairman, Goldman Sachs
|Years active
|$22.3 million (2016)
|Net worth
|US$1.1 billion[1] (July 2017)
|Political party
Laura Jacobs (m. 1983)
Lloyd Craig Blankfein (born September 20, 1954) is an American investment banker who has served as senior chairman of Goldman Sachs since 2019, and chairman and chief executive from 2006 until the end of 2018.[2] He assumed the office after former chief executive, Henry Paulson, was asked to serve as the 74th United States Secretary of the Treasury. Previous to leading Goldman Sachs, he was the company's president and chief operating officer (COO) from 2004 to 2006, serving under Paulson.
Born and raised in New York City, Blankfein attended Harvard University for his undergraduate and law school studies before briefly entering private law practice. In 1982, he became a precious metals salesman at J. Aron & Co., a small commodities trading firm which was acquired by Goldman in 1994. After leading Goldman's currency and commodities divisions from 1994 to 1997 he was named heir apparent despite ranking third in the corporate hierarchy. He served as the president and chief operating officer from 2004 to his ascension to chief executive. Almost immediately after Blankfein assumed the head of the company, the financial crisis of 2007–08 hit the banking industry. His role and handling of the crisis was widely praised and criticized by media outlets making him a public figure.
After the Federal Reserve implemented dovish monetary policies and the U.S. Treasury bailed out the company, Blankfein took advantage of low interest rates to undercut competition from other investment banks and established Goldman Sachs as the second largest investment bank in the U.S. as others either went bankrupt or fell to acquisition. Blankfein was twice named one of the most influential people in the world by Time magazine and won the Financial Times Person of the Year award in 2009.[3][4] According to Forbes magazine, his net worth is estimated to be US$1.1 billion as of July 2017.[5][6] His total compensation package for fiscal year 2016 was estimated to be $22.3 million.[7]
Early life and career
Lloyd Craig Blankfein was born in The Bronx borough of New York City, New York on September 20, 1954.[8] His father, Seymour Blankfein, was a clerk with the U.S. Postal Service branch in the Manhattan borough of New York City and his mother was a receptionist.[9] Born to a Jewish family, he was raised in the Linden Houses, a housing project in the East New York section of Brooklyn.[10] As a boy, he worked as a concession vendor at Yankee Stadium.[11] He received primary and secondary education in New York City's public schools graduating valedictorian at Thomas Jefferson High School in 1971. He went on to attend Harvard College where he lived in Winthrop House and graduated with a A.B. in history in 1975.[12][13] After graduating college, he attended Harvard Law School where he received a J.D. degree in 1978.[13]
Blankfein first worked for the law firms Proskauer Rose and then Donovan, Leisure, Newton & Irvine.[14] In 1982, he joined the commodities trading firm J. Aron & Co. as a precious metals salesman in its London office. The firm was later acquired by the investment bank, Goldman Sachs.[15]
Goldman Sachs
The acquisition of J. Aron & Co. was one of the last acts of outgoing chief executive Stephen Friedman who retired in January 1994.[15] Friedman appointed Henry Paulson as his successor who in turn tasked Blankfein with managing or co-managing the company's currency and commodities divisions from 1994 to 1997.[16] After Paulson consolidated control of Goldman, he identified Blankfein as his heir apparent in response to a hypothetical question despite him ranking third in the corporate hierarchy behind two co-presidents.[17] In 2004, Blankfein was promoted to president and chief operating officer, a position he served in until June 2006.[17] As president, he oversaw the 2000s commodities boom and positioned Goldman to take advantage of rising commodity prices.[18] On May 30, 2006, U.S. President George W. Bush nominated Paulson to serve as the 74th United States Secretary of the Treasury which prompted Paulson to establish a succession plan. Shortly after Paulson was sworn in, Blankfein was asked to serve the company as chairman and chief executive officer in July 2006.[18]
2007-08 financial crisis
— Blankfein (in 2009) on the loss of confidence in the financial industry.[19]
During the 2007-08 financial crisis, many financial institutions that had dealings in subprime mortgages received a high level of public attention. Goldman Sachs served as a market maker that dealt with financial products that held subprime mortgages. During late 2008, the crisis led the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates and the U.S. Treasury to increase public spending in private banks.[20] Following the collapse of Lehman Brothers, and the government bailout of Goldman, Blankfein used the low interest rates and government assistance to undercut competition from other investment banks and established Goldman Sachs as the second largest investment bank in the U.S. as others either went bankrupt or fell to acquisition.[21] In 2009, he was named Financial Times Person of the Year. His citation noted that "his bank stuck to its strengths, unashamedly [took] advantage of the low interest rates and diminished competition resulting from the crisis to make big trading profits."[9][22]
On January 13, 2010, Blankfein voluntarily testified before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission that he considered Goldman Sachs's role as primarily market maker, not a creator of the product (i.e., subprime mortgage-related securities).[23] Blankfein testified once more before Congress in April 2010 at a hearing of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. He said that Goldman Sachs had no moral or legal obligation to inform their clients they were betting against the products they were selling to them because it was not acting in a fiduciary role.[24] Senator Carl Levin accused Blankfein of misleading Congress; however, no perjury charges were brought against Blankfein.[25][26] Nevertheless, as a precaution Blankfein hired Reid Weingarten, a high-profile defense lawyer who represented former WorldCom CEO Bernard Ebbers and former Enron accounting officer Richard Causey.[27] Two months later, after the publicity of the testimony increased his public status, he was listed as #43 on Forbes Magazine's List of The World's Most Powerful People in November 2011.[28]
Firm employment
In March 14, 2012, Greg Smith, a former Goldman executive, wrote a widely circulated op-ed for The New York Times titled "Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs", in which he heavily criticized the firm's top leadership and Blankfein in particular for sidelining the interests of the client.[29] Smith claimed that employees were promoted for unloading less profitable products on clients, for trading products that maximized Goldman Sachs' profits, not their clients, and trading illiquid, opaque products. Smith's op-ed was criticized by many, particularly because he worked at Goldman for 12 years before deciding to quit because of moral objections.[29][30]
In February 2018, to counter low sales and trading profits, Blankfein instituted new hiring priorities. He instructed human resource managers at the firm to focus on employment candidates who were "strategists" or "strats," i.e., highly quantitative and technologically proficient.[31]
On March 15, 2018, Blankfein issued an internal memo advocating for complete gender parity among its workforce. He stated: "At Goldman Sachs we pay women and men in similar roles with similar performance equally. However, the real issue for our firm and many corporations is the under-representation of women and diverse professionals both in magnitude and levels of seniority. We have made some progress, but we have significant work to do, and we, as leaders of our firm, are committed to doing this critical work."[32][33]
Leadership style
Research published at the University of Oxford characterizes Blankfein's leadership style as paradigmatic of "founder centrism" – which is a founder's mindset, an ethical disposition towards the shareholder collective, and an intense focus on exponential value creation.[34]
Blankfein's compensation at Goldman Sachs has been at the center of controversy and interest to financial reporters and the general public. He was paid a base salary of $600,000 with a total compensation package of $54.4 million in 2006 as the highest-paid executive on Wall Street.[35] His bonus reflected the performance of Goldman Sachs, which reported record net earnings of $9.5 billion. The compensation included a cash bonus of $27.3 million, with the rest paid in stock and options.[35] A year later, he received total compensation of $53.9 million, which included a base salary of $600,000, a cash bonus of $26.9 million, stocks granted of $15.5 million and options granted of $10.4 million.[36] On April 7, 2009, he recommended guidelines to overhaul executive compensation. According to The New York Times, he said that lessons from the global financial crisis included the need to "apply basic standards to how we compensate people in our industry".[37] He received US$23 million in salary and bonuses in 2015, which was slightly down from the US$24 million he earned in 2014 from Goldman Sachs.[38][39] According to the Financial Times, Blankfein earned an estimated $22.3 million in 2016.[7]
On March 9, 2018, The Wall Street Journal reported that Blankfein would step down from leading Goldman Sachs by the end of the year.[40] Later that day, Blankfein tweeted "It's the @WSJ's announcement...not mine. I feel like Huck Finn listening to his own eulogy."[41] On March 12, Goldman announced that Harvey Schwartz, the company's co-chief operating officer and president would be resigning, leaving David Solomon as the second-in-command.[18] Hours after the announcement, media outlets–both domestic and international–informally designated Solomon as Blankfein's heir apparent.[42][43][32] It was announced in July 2018 that Solomon would become CEO on October 1, 2018 and chairman by the end of 2018.[44]
Political positions
Blankfein has self-identified as "a registered Democrat, and a Rockefeller Republican ... conservative on fiscal issues and more liberal on social issues".[45] Blankfein contributes to mostly Democratic party candidates.[46] He donated $4,600 to Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton in 2007, and to the Senate re-election campaigns for the Republicans Rob Portman and Roy Blunt in 2015.[47] During the Obama administration, he visited the White House a total of 14 times.[46] On July 18, 2012 after meeting with Barack Obama's chief of staff, Jack Lew, he was asked whether he had any aspiration to go into government like predecessors Hank Paulson and Robert Rubin. "I have aspirations to be desired," he replied.[48]
During the 2016 presidential election, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders named Blankfein as an example of corporate greed in January 2016. Blankfein responded that Sanders' campaign had "the potential to be a dangerous moment."[49] Blankfein endorsed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the run-up for the 2016 U.S. presidential election.[50]
Social issues
He was an early supporter of gay marriage and has been a spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign, an advocacy group for LGBTQ civil rights.[51] In May 2012, Blankfein stated that his stance led Goldman Sachs to lose some high net worth clients.[52]
British libor rates
At the start of 2012, an international inquiry into the average of interest rates of London known as the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor), found that there was systemic manipulation by various bulge bracket banks for profit.[53] The ensuing July 2012 Libor scandal prompted Blankfein to note that the general distrust of the financial world was worsened: "There was this huge hole to dig out of in terms of getting trust back and now it's just that much deeper."[54]
On June 1, 2017, Blankfein posted his first ever tweet, despite joining Twitter in 2011. He condemned President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Accord, saying "Today's decision is a setback for the environment and for the U.S.'s leadership position in the world. #ParisAgreement".[55]
Blankfein's total compensation from 2000 to 2009 was estimated to be around $240 million. During this time period he personally donated $11 million (4.58% of his total compensation) to charitable organizations.[56] His joint charity foundation, the Lloyd and Laura Blankfein Foundation, donated $620,000 to Harvard Law School, $500,000 to the Ethical Culture Fieldston School, $50,000 to Barnard College, $46,500 to the Robin Hood Foundation, and $10,000 to Carnegie Hall in fiscal year 2010.[57]
He serves on the board of directors of the Partnership for New York City,[58] and on the board of overseers of the Weill Cornell Medical College.[59][60]

At the beginning of 2014, a document was published that ought to be required reading for anyone who works in theatre. Compiled by the Brooklyn Commune Project, The View from Here assesses both the state of the arts and the funding situation in the US. Although it focuses on the performance scene in New York, page after page resonates with ongoing conversations in the UK the value of art.
Rather than search for economic proof of that value, the report concerns itself with the relationship between theatre and citizenship. Performing arts, it declares, "are inherently social arts and provide a necessary opportunity to develop the skills of socialisation and communication required by a healthy democracy". It emphasises: "Cultural activities and the performing arts specifically, can uniquely serve as a meeting place, a site for the formation of a shared communal identity as 'the public'."
These ideas are at the heart of the Dialogue festival, Talking/Making/Taking Part, at Ovalhouse in London this weekend. Dialogue is an organisation I co-founded with Jake Orr (artistic director of A Younger Theatre) in 2012, and it comes from a desire to rethink the relationships between people who make, watch and write about theatre – a desire galvanised by the inspiring work of New York writer and curator Andy Horwitz, who went on to co-author The View from Here. The festival is our most ambitious project to date, bringing together theatre-makers from across the UK (including Bristol, Nottingham and Edinburgh). Over two days, audiences can take part in large-scale interactive shows, participatory work for small groups or individuals, and informal discussions – two led by Horwitz himself – that aim to look at those overused buzzwords "interactive" and "participatory" and question their application and meanings.
The basic assumption is that they mean people becoming a vocal and mobile presence within a performance, in contrast to the silent passivity of the seated audiences of conventional theatre. But when audiences are invited to take part, are they really being given full freedom to interact? Hannah Nicklin, a Dialogue festival performer who works in gaming and theatre, a useful dual perspective, has identified four modes of interaction in performance. In three of them, the specific decisions of the audience affect the shape, content or conclusion of the work. But, she argues, most theatre that calls itself interactive, or another buzzword, "immersive", doesn't do any of these things: it simply absorbs the audience in its imaginary world, making their specific personalities irrelevant.
On the other hand, perhaps the basic assumption does a disservice to many theatre audiences. Another Dialogue festival performer, theatre-maker Chris Goode, noted in a speech given at the ICA in 2010: "We consistently undervalue the work that an audience does in being present and aware of its own presence, in paying attention, in reading and re-reading what it sees and hears, in helping to hold the piece in common." For Goode, the participatory nature of theatre depends not on how an audience sits or stands but "how successfully and how seductively a stage piece asks for their active engagement". Theatre that isn't interested in such engagement might as well not be live.
Look at questions of participation from another angle, the perspective of performers and theatre-makers themselves, and another set of issues emerges: the effect that ethnicity, disability and gender have on access to opportunities. How many theatres take the approach of Lyric Hammersmith's Secret Theatre project, whose ensemble of 10 actors includes an equal gender split, people of colour and a disabled actor? Such a cast might not precisely represent the contemporary society of the playwright, but it better represents the population of the UK. One line of argument pursued in the report is that artistic change is "a means for peacefully upending calcified ideas and introducing new ones". That is, ushering in modernity by presenting new ways of relating to each other politically. Such possibilities are hard to see in a theatre that lacks diversity.
This barely scrapes the surface of the questions we hope to raise over the course of the Dialogue festival – not with an aim to find answers, but to enjoy thinking aloud about how different relationships with theatre might transform the way people relate to their local community, or to wider society. It feels important that this happens equally through participation in performances, conversations, the sharing of ideas, and a communal lunch.
Writer and curator Mary Paterson argues on the website of her project Something Other, which forms the basis of one of the festival's sessions, that: "How we talk about the artwork is the artwork." Or, as The View From Here puts it: "It is not enough to present performances; it is necessary to cultivate lively, candid and meaningful discourse."

As you can see from my Fitbit stats, I didn't move much yesterday. Why? I have been working feverishly to finish the custom quilt I have had on the frame for far too long. There are a few reasons it's been there for this length of time. It calls for some complicated quilting, the borders are an unusual size and are not equal all the way around, and, of course, I've run into some personal disasters while it's been awaiting finishing. Spending hours on the phone with the doctor's office and the insurance company has not been fun. Not to mention that when I get stressed out, I really just want to go in my room, pull the shades, and curl up in a ball. I've done my best this time, not to feel sorry for myself, and I've made a habit of going out and tearing up the pavement over the past few weeks instead of giving in to depression.
I realize that in the grand scheme of things, my problems don't really amount to much. I'm very grateful for my good life, and I'm doing my best to just get on with it. Hopefully, this quilt will be off the frame before lunch tomorrow morning, but then again, I've got a couple more medical coverage-related calls to make in the morning, so you never know. I'm really looking forward to doing some edge-to-edge design quilts and to having a little more free time in my schedule!

The respective committee chairmen report regularly to the Supervisory Board on the work of the committees.

The function of the Supervisory Board is to advise the Management Board on the management of the Company and to monitor its conduct of business. The Supervisory Board discusses at regular intervals the Company's business development and the Executive Board's planning and strategy. It is also responsible in particular for appointing the members of the Board of Management and auditing the annual financial statements of LANXESS AG and the LANXESS Group. The Supervisory Board resolves on the Board of Management's proposal for the appropriation of retained earnings and reports to the Annual Stockholders' Meeting. The Supervisory Board makes its decisions by a majority of the votes cast, unless a different majority is required by law. In the event of a tie, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board has two votes in a new vote on the subject of the resolution if this tie also results in a tie. The German Codetermination Act provides for special resolution requirements. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board coordinates the work of the Supervisory Board, chairs its meetings and represents the interests of the Supervisory Board externally. Resolutions of the Supervisory Board are generally passed at regular meetings. The Supervisory Board has adopted rules of procedure which, in addition to its duties and responsibilities and the personal requirements placed on its members, regulate the convening, preparation and chairing of its meetings as well as the procedure for passing resolutions.
The Supervisory Board reviews the efficiency of its work at regular intervals. This is already stipulated in the rules of procedure of the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board may call upon the support of external consultants in carrying out the efficiency review.
In the following, we have reprinted the report of the Supervisory Board to the Annual General Meeting pursuant to Section 171 (2) AktG for the 2018 financial year. The report of the Supervisory Board is part of the annual report.
|Report of the Supervisory Board
a. Executive Committee
The Executive Committee discusses key topics and prepares the meetings and resolutions of the Supervisory Board. In addition, the Executive Committee decides on transactions requiring approval, which are already provided for in the annual corporate planning. The Executive Committee may also decide on the exercise of participation rights pursuant to Section 32 of the German Codetermination Act (MitbestG) and on transactions requiring approval which cannot be postponed. It regularly discusses long-term succession planning for the Management Board. The Executive Committee also prepares the personnel decisions of the Supervisory Board.
b. Board of examiners
The Audit Committee supports the Supervisory Board in monitoring the management and deals with the monitoring of accounting, the accounting process, the effectiveness of the internal control system, the risk management system and the internal audit system, the audit of the financial statements including the independence of the auditor and the additional services provided by the auditor as well as compliance. It prepares the resolutions of the Supervisory Board on the annual and consolidated financial statements and recommends an auditor to the Supervisory Board on which the Supervisory Board bases its election proposal to the Annual General Meeting.
As Chairman of the Audit Committee of independent financial experts, Dr. Janssen has particular knowledge and experience in the field of accounting from his professional practice.
c. Committee pursuant to Section 27 (3) of the German Codetermination Act (MitbestG)
The committee pursuant to Section 27 (3) of the German Codetermination Act (MitbestG), also known as the Mediation Committee, performs the tasks described in Section 31 (3) of the German Codetermination Act (MitbestG).

See who's got it right over the past few days.
The perennially well-dressed Ryan Reynolds does it again with this clean and casual look of 'Shacket', chinos and slick white Converse.
As the new face of Gucci, Tom Hiddleston has swapped dodgy vests and Taylor Swift for immaculate Italian tailoring, regal manors and magnificent Afghan hounds.
Alexander Skarsgård is the current standard-bearer for well-dressed Scandis in Hollywood and a man who scarcely puts a foot wrong when it comes to his tailoring; as shown again by this charcoal suit nicely offset with a burgundy tie and dark tan shoes.
Bra gjort!
(That means 'well done' in Swedish, btw.)
Justin Theroux has a motorbike and stuff, so it's no surprise that his dress sense is on the carefree and rock'n'roll spectrum - in a good way of course. There are also a lot of trends to check off here: gold watch, suede Chelsea boots with a bomber jacket to finish it all off.
British/Nigerian actor David Oyelowo showed just the right amount of panache by adding a bold printed tie to his subtle indigo tailoring and loafers look. Note how his trousers sit just above the ankle with no pooling. Good work Dave.
Can we call you Dave?
Catching the last days of summer over in LA, Jeremy Piven keeps it smart and simple in military green, black with a nice little hint of ankle. How risqué.
The Birth of a Nation actor is a bigger-than-us 6'4, making the exceptional fit of this dark blue three piece even more impressive. There's no excuses when it comes to the cut of your suit.
Woody Allen knows that oversized military jackets and wide-leg trousers are going to be BIG this year. He's sort of styling out the bucket hat too.
It's a rare thing to see Novack Djokovic dressed in anything other than polyester, but during a visit to the Milan front row, the world number one looked ace , smashing, very well put together in this simple, but sharp monochrome outfit, finished off with an on-trend bomber.
Yes, we just featured him, but when Becks keeps dressing this well he can't help but be included.
Again, we're not sold on the newsboy hat, but that navy double-breasted overcoat (a great look for this time of year) works perfectly with suede Chelsea boots and dark denim.
Miles Teller: irritating face, excellent approach to tailoring, as you can see here with this superbly executed charcoal three-piece.
You'd think that after 20 years in the hip hop spotlight Andre 3000 would be beginning to lose some of his sheen, but then again, this is Andre 3000 we're talking about here.
In typically laid-back style, the Outkast frontman turns this pretty unassuming outfit into something that looks at once effortless and very, very cool.
Probably because he's Andre 3000.
The creative director at Brioni, Justin O'shea has made high-waisted trousers and dramatic tailoring a style signature, which is why we can just about forgive him for the drastic gold satin shirt.
Keeping it simple in slim black denim, a plain white t-shirt and a beige spread collar jacket, professional handsome person Ollie Cheshire was a strong advocate of clean and classic style during London Fashion Week.
Taking some style inspiration from the school of Ryan Gosling, Ethan Hawke does a good turn of refined formal in slim navy suiting finished off with a crisp white shirt. Sans tie, of course.
Just to clarify, this is not a good look. Not in any capacity, sense nor universe, but we've included Chris Pine as a warning against the dangers of personal style hubris.
Pine has spent much of the summer being the best dressed guy going, but he's obviously let it all go to his head, as you can tell from this bizarre combination of 12-year-old skater/farm worker/badly dressed tourist.
Why, Chris? Why?
While the headwear choice is a little polarising, Becks has taken no time at all in adapting to autumn with this subtle corduroy suit and suede chelsea boots combination.
The dramatic lapels and hefty windowpane checks aren't easy to pull-off, but, when you're Don Draper and wearing it with as much confidence as Jon Hamm is here, the bold grey suit is a real style power move.
Basketball star Russell Westbrook went for a high-end street style aesthetic this week in head to toe Saint Laurent. We're already starting to see an autumn trend here with the brown suede Chelsea boots.
In our opinion the best red carpet dresser out there, Gosling proves again that you can create a signature look—patterned Gucci and an 'air' tie—without becoming a try hard. Something that is definitely more challenging than he makes it look.
While every wannabe and their dog is attempting the upmarket athleisure look right now, Mercury Music Prize winner Skepta's been sporting dad caps and expensive sportswear for years. We also take great enjoyment in the fact that he made his crew dress in all-white while he took the black on black limelight.
British actor Sam Clafin is seen here in Toronto looking very suave in full Dolce & Gabbana tailoring and patent leather derbies, with just the right amount of subdued accessories thrown in for good measure.
Savile Row maestro Ozwald Boateng showing here why every man needs a dark green suit in their arsenal. Kudos as well for the contemporary omission of a tie.
While we wouldn't typically endorse a black shirt in any environment, well-dressed Scandi Viggo Mortensen has made a dark wool blazer and darker shirt something of a signature look and, somehow, it works for him.

It has been our custom at The Boy Scout to post a Scouter's minute each day leading up to Christmas. This year, we decided to try something new. The Christmas messages will focus on the lives of modern-day prophets and times when they exemplified a point of the Scout Law. Come back for the next eleven days to find out how prophets of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
Joseph Fielding Smith teaches us to be friendly.
Joseph Fielding Smith—Friend to All
Part of being a Scout is being a friend to those you meet. Those who knew Joseph Fielding Smith spoke of the thoughtful, friendly things he did to show that he cared about those around him. Here are a few of those thoughtful things, taken from the Teachings of Presidents of the Church manual from Joseph Fielding Smith:
"One day at a church conference in the Mormon Tabernacle on Temple Square a 12-year-old boy, excited to be there for the first time, had come early to be sure to get a seat close to the front. … Just before the meeting began, and when all the seats were taken, an usher asked the boy to give up his seat so that a late arriving United States Senator could have it. Meekly the boy complied, and stood in the aisle, disappointed, embarrassed, in tears." President Joseph Fielding Smith "noticed the youngster and motioned him to come up [on the stand]. When the boy told him what had happened he said, 'That usher had no right to do that to you. But here, you sit by me,' and shared his seat with him, in the midst of the apostles of the Church.
"One day as he was interviewing a group of young men leaving on two-year missions for the Church, [he] noticed a farm boy who had been assigned to eastern Canada. 'Son, it's cold up there. Do you have a good warm coat?' 'No sir, I haven't.' He took the boy across the street to [a] department store and bought him the warmest coat in stock.
"The day he was sustained in conference as president of the Church a little girl worked her way through the throng after the meeting and reached for his hand. So touched was he by the gesture that he stooped down and took the child into his arms. He learned that her name was Venus Hobbs, … soon to be four years old. On her birthday Venus received a surprise telephone call: Joseph Fielding Smith and his wife calling long distance to sing 'Happy Birthday' to her."
These acts of kindness were not isolated occurrences but part of a lifelong pattern. President Smith was "a man of great tenderness and compassion. His life has been one repeated instance after another of giving aid to the needy, comfort to the brokenhearted, counsel to the confused and in exemplifying that charity which is 'the pure love of Christ.' [Moroni 7:47.]"
How can you follow President Smith's example to be more friendly?

192 페이지 - A sight most horrible and disgusting broke upon us as we ascended a sand dune overhanging the little dell in which the pound was built. Within a circular fence 120 feet broad, constructed of the trunks of trees, laced with withes together, and braced by outside supports, lay tossed in every conceivable position over two hundred dead buffalo.

The first day of class can be full of anxiety for many college students, especially freshman, suddenly surrounded by strangers who they are supposed to be learning with for the rest of the semester. Cliques can quickly form of students who already know each other, or who have obviously similar interests based on appearances. In order to facilitate group learning in your classroom, consider using an icebreaker on the first day of class. Icebreakers can help get rid of back to school jitters, and can help prepare students for working in groups and teams throughout the semester.
Why build group learning?
Why is it important to establish a group environment for your college students from the first day of class? If you're teaching from a large lecture hall, it may not seem like it matters for your class whether or not your students form relationships with each other. But in McKeachie's Teaching Tips, 14e, McKeachie explains, "There is a wealth of evidence that peer learning and teaching is extremely effective for a wide range of goals, content, and students of different levels and personalities…. [C]ooperative learning in biology courses resulted in higher-level student questioning." (193)
Your students will depend on each other for study sessions and moral support. They will perform better if they can form groups that encourage and build their learning experiences. "Creating a learning community gives students a sense of security, study pals, and somebody to double-check with about assignments," Cynde Gregory wrote in her essay "Love the One You're With: Creating a Classroom Community" for Faculty Focus.
Using icebreakers
In Gregory's essay, she described using a "speed dating" technique with a new class with a very diverse population, giving the students two minutes to find out all they could about each other before having to switch partners. Whether you use the speed dating format or group the students together in a different way, many social icebreakers can start by asking prompts that will create more conversation and help students explore similar interests that might not be obvious based on appearance. Some good conversation prompts could include:
- What is the last book you read you couldn't put down?
- What is the last song you played on your mp3 player?
- If you could travel anywhere, where would you like to go?
- If you had to choose a motto for yourself, what would it be?
If you want to form groups early on, you can also do an icebreaker such as clipping a comic into separate panels and having each student draw a panel from a hat or bag. When the students match the panels together, they have found their team.
Physical icebreakers
If you are interested in an icebreaker to get through nerves and encourage silliness, you can use a more physical icebreaker, such as:
- Having students take off one shoe and have each student take a shoe from the resulting pile. The students have to find the person with their match—as well as the person who finds their shoe.
- Having two students of like heights link arms together, back to back, and sit down, then try to stand by relying on each other.
- Playing a round of charades.
Any of these icebreakers—and many more possibilities—can reduce that back to school anxiety!
What icebreakers have you used in your classes?

I'd like to see more of these types of shredding programs from Cintas Corporation.
Not only are they instrumental in protecting our privacy, they have the capability of being a community catalyst for sustainable practices. The education element alone could open the eyes of many a skeptic.
Take a look at these figures:
Cintas Corporation today announced it exceeded its goal of shredding 400 tons of paper in April by +55% percent, shredding a total of 618 tons of material through sponsored community shred events. Through these Cintas-powered events, the total amount of recycled material saved 10,506 trees, 1,854 cubic yards of landfill space, 2,427,000 kilowatts of energy, 1,236 barrels of oil and 4,326,000 gallons of water.
When we get to Austin, I'd like to get Cintas to sponsor a similar effort for some of the businesses around our neighborhood in Zilker. I bet there's plenty of companies that would also donate used electronics or office equipment to combat eWaste abuse.

Guest post by Kaitlyn
Hard working, determined, and creative are just a few words I would use to describe my friends and I. Myself, Ryan, Jalen, Ian, and Kayla spent weeks in advance trying to make June 11 absolutely perfect and we succeeded. It was a charity BBQ for the Women's Crisis Services of Waterloo Region, a foundation very close to our hearts. This all started in our Future Forums class, and for our summative project we had to go out and Do Something that is going to help / benefit our community. There wasn't a moment of hesitation until we joined as a group and stated that we were going to help local women escape violence.
We created posters, advertised around the school and social media, even got hotdog bun donations! The day finally came, I don't think any of us got sleep the night before because we were all so excited! We set up tables, had our WCSWR display, and started cooking hotdogs! We were out front of Zehrs from 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM, and ended the day with $525.55!
Originally the goal was to get $200, needless to say we were pretty ecstatic with the results. I believe that changing the world starts with the youth, and even a donation to a local foundation such as the Women's Crisis Services changes someone's life for the better. I would like to give a massive thank you to everybody who came out and supported us, we couldn't have done it without you!

Warwick Thumb NT6 6-String Bass Guitar
Expert Review
The Warwick Thumb NT-6's body is made from bubinga pommele and has a natural oil finish, which immediately makes it look majestically natural and pristine. The care and attention that Warwick brings to all of its axes marries an old world craftsmanship with more modern technological implementation. The best example of this can be found on the neck/fretboard of this 6-string bass guitar. Warwick utilizes an invisible fret installation technology to give all 26 frets added stability and room to play on, with precision that is unparalleled. The neck is also adorned with fluorescent inlays on the side, allowing you to know where you're going on your musical journey even when playing in dark settings onstage or in the studio.
A dual J-style pickup electronic system gives you a full menu of tones to choose from, whether you're looking for low-end punch or a smoother, more balanced sound. The solid brass 3D 2-piece bridge system on the Warwick Thumb NT-6 provides a faithful tonal transfer without changing or coloring the tone and vibration like so many other bridges do. Meanwhile, this 6-string's adjustable nut system allows players to quickly and easily raise and lower the string height on this axe for simplified setups.

In a new study, it shows that the lung cancer rate is higher in women than men. This new research which reveals this has changed the facts which were previously there about the occurrence of lung cancer. In the last two decades, lung cancer rates have gone down, and women ages from 30 to 54 have seen less of benefit.
According to Dr Otis Brawley, who is the chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society said, "All of a sudden within the last 10 to 15 years, women are at greater risk of being diagnosed with lung cancer than men. We don't know why this is and we are going to do further research. We have looked at smoking issues, and smoking patterns don't fully explain this."
Lung cancer is said to be the deadliest form of cancer in the United States for both women and men. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking of the cigarette contributes to about 80 to 90 percent of the lung cancers.
The study on this which was jointly conducted by the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute, the researchers have examined the nationwide population which was based on the incident of lung cancer as per sex, race or ethnic group, year of diagnosis, age and year of birth. This data also includes all the information on all the cases of invasive lung cancer which was diagnosed in the people whose age is 30 to 54 from the year 1995 through 2014 in about 46 states and the District of Columbia.
The analysis has shown the data of about past two decades which has the incidence of lung cancer which has generally decreased among the men and women which include races and ethnic groups. The lead author the study Ahmedin Jemal, who has done PhD said, "While the prevalence of smoking among men and women has converged over the past several decades, smoking prevalence among women has still generally not exceeded that of men. We do not believe sex differences in smoking behaviour explain our finding of a gender crossover." He added by saying, "The crossover also occurred among Hispanics, even though smoking continues to be less common in young Hispanic women than young Hispanic men."
The researchers also did some research to find the reason behind why the young women are at high risk which includes that there may be the differences in the types of lung cancer which affects both men and women.

Cardiac Rehabilitation
In 2007 Northeastern Health System completed the continuum of cardiac care by opening the cardiac rehabilitation unit. This recovery program offers a team-based approach to the health and healing of patients suffering from heart disease. The cardiac rehab program focuses on strengthening the heart muscle and improving cardiovascular fitness. One of the top goals of the program is to help patients return to an active lifestyle.
This program contains three phases.
Phase I: The initial phase begins with education and counseling between the patient and the cardiac rehab staff. Range of motion exercises, some intermittent sitting and standing and, in some cases, walking is the extent of the patient's physical exertion.
Phase II: Phase two begins approximately three weeks after the patient has gone home from the hospital. These sessions are one hour, three times a week, for 12 weeks, with the physical activity depending on the patient and the cardiac rehab staff's recommendations.
Phase III: In this final phase, the cardiac rehab staff develops long-term dietary and exercise programs that are tailored to each patient. The patient will still be monitored closely through the coordination of their personal physician and the rehab staff. Most health insurance policies cover treatment in phases I and II if patients are enrolled between six months to one year after hospitalization following a heart attack, cardiac surgery or coronary angioplasty. Persons suffering from chest pain may also enroll. We will check with your insurance company to verify coverage.
