An Update on Everything
It has been a while since I wrote an update on all of the happenings of our work with Walk In Love. So, I thought I would take a moment to fill you in on how our efforts are going here in Arusha.
The Kisongo Center
The Kisongo Center is a dream come true from a management perspective. The staff is a great team, and the manager is so confident in her position. I know it is the goal to create self-sufficient programs, but sometimes I feel like a mama whose teenager does not need her anymore. We were holding steady at our maximum of 35 kids enrolled. However, in the last few weeks we have had several kids move to different areas. Today we admitted a new little boy, whose mother found a job at the nearby factory. The amount of turnover has been a surprise to us. What we are finding is that people move in and out of areas fluidly. We have had one girl who came for several months, moved to Dar Es Salaam for several months, and is now back at the center again. Families go where the work is. Right now, we have 33 kids enrolled at the Kisongo Center.
This past Sunday we hosted our first community seminar for 53 participants at the Kisongo Center. Julius, a friend of many years, demonstrated how to grow vegetables without the use of harsh chemicals, using just a small square of land, basic compost, and the water from washing dishes and bathing. We are so excited to partner with Julius and his organization, Miracle of Compost. It is our plan to provide four free seminars to the Arusha Community this year. Our goal is to help families. We want to be as holistic as possible. Our community classes will cover everything from gardening to dental health to self-defense. We know that education helps to strengthen families, and strong families
The Market Center
We have a huge praise to report at the Market Center. Just this week we enrolled a set of twins, bringing our total number up to 31!! If you remember from this blog post, the Market Center enrollment was a slow process. We are thrilled that the daycare has finally taken root and the community is responding enthusiastically. We are now to the point where we need to build more tables and extend our playground space. We are now getting enough eggs to provide for both centers. We are still hoping to open the Market Center to kids with disabilities. This will be a groundbreaking step for the Arusha area, as there are no centers that integrate kids with and without disabilities.
Last week, we were happy to welcome a visit from the organization
Maisha Matters
I hope you have been following the work of Maisha Matters on our Facebook page. If not, you should definitely go and check out all that they have been doing. Maisha Matters is run by the founder of Walk In Love, Aubree Packard. They are currently supporting 30 families with food, education and business start-up grants. I cannot say enough about how amazing the Maisha Matters project is. Maisha Matters helps families who are struggling to provide enough food for their children become thriving and independent. They do weekly food distributions on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. During these distribution times the families attend classes to learn everything from basic health and nutrition to budgeting. They also do emergency care for families in crisis. Two families have been staying in a rented room near the Maisha Matters distribution center to receive intensive therapy training for their children with disabilities. These kids' lives will be forever better because of the therapy training their parents received at the center.
Working Together
I hope you caught my intentional name dropping when I mentioned working with Julius (Miracle of Compost) and Hope (Hope and Soul). One of the tragedies of international aid work is the potential for competition between organizations. Because we are all dependent upon support, there is a tendency to want to edge other people out of the spotlight. We are intentional, and excited, about partnering with other organizations. We know that they are doing things we
VBS Program
Is your church doing a VBS program this summer and looking for a child-centered organization to support? Last year we created a series of five videos made for elementary school children. These were a great hit for two churches who chose Walk In Love as the donation outreach. This is a great way for us to both raise funds and spread the word about Walk In Love. Could you please remember us when the topic of VBS comes up at your church? We would be so grateful and will supply you with all the resources to help both kids and families connect with the work we are doing.

Use a worry stone to centre yourself during times of stress, a physical grounding connection, an anchor to the moment combine with crystal energies. The connection between Sodalite, stabilising energy and rational thought make it a wonderful stone for anxiety, particularly those who suffer from panic attacks.

Sodalite understands true wisdom through the depths of truth, logic and rational thought.
Bring peace and tranquility to your day with the stabilizing and harmonising energy of Sodalite, letting it soothe stress and release tension. Reinforcing emotional balance and releasing fears, it is helpful to calm the mind and to relieve panic attacks.
Sodalite lets you know who you are, providing insight, awakening and an intellectual understanding of yourself. Use it during periods of self examination to uncover your purpose and your true feelings. Then draw on the communication properties to help express those thoughts and feelings clearly.
Sodalite combines the spiritual with the logical. It helps with understanding the underlying reasoning behind your emotions and with being true to yourself.

Where's the housing bottom?
While nobody seems confident in a prediction, Lawrence Yun, the National Association of Realtors' chief economist who last year predicted the turnaround would begin in late 2008, tried to throw his 1.2 million-member trade group a bone by showing that pending home sales slipped 4.6 percent nationwide in September from August but remained 1.6 percent higher than a year earlier. He also stated that some of the areas hardest hit by the slowdown, including Florida and California, showed "consistent, solid gains" and that NAR's housing affordability index is averaging 19 percentage points higher this year than in 2007.

System – Detection and Control
The patented DCM-MotionTechnology spike detection system is a specially designed circuit in which the voltage transients (spikes) detected on the power supply wires to the motor are isolated, separated and sorted into a double discrete real-time output.
The output from the spike detector is then processed in a special DCM-Controller circuit and software which is used to control the power to the motor. In other words it is possible to implement precise coordination between the commutations and the motor control from inside the motor controller.
The technology has proven efficient and reliable with more than 20 meters of power supply wires between the motor and the points of detection. Hence it is now possible to remotely detect the motor commutations and thereby controlling the rotation per commutation and the position of the motor without the need for additional sensors, long sensor wires, sensor power wires or any other components attached to the motor or the application.
The detailed information about the transients as picked up by the spike detector can be used to control the power to the motor during each commutation cycle and to monitor the behaviour of the motor per commutation and over time thereby providing valuable information about the condition of the motor.
Consequently, sensor-less DCM-MotionTechnology can offer substantial performance benefits as well as cost and energy savings in a number of electric motor applications.
Now I want to learn more about DCM-MotionTechnology!

SALISBURY, Md. – The No. 4 Salisbury University softball team opened the NCAA Division III Salisbury, Maryland Super Regional on Friday afternoon and did so with a complete effort, claiming an 8-0 win in six innings against No. 11 Christopher Newport University to take a one-game lead in the best-of-three series.
The Sea Gulls would score five times in the first two innings, and the run support was plenty for senior pitcher Rachel Johnson, who allowed just one hit in the complete-game win.
"I thought our team came out very focused and played extremely well," Head Coach Margie Knight said. "We were very offensive, so I was proud of the way our players played and we're certainly playing against what I think is one of the best teams in the country, so to be able to get a win we're very happy about that."
Junior Kim Dorsey drew a leadoff walk from Christopher Newport starting pitcher Hanah Marshall in the first inning to get things started and junior Katie Sebbane came up with a bunt that snuck through for a single, advancing Dorsey to second. Dorsey tried to grab an extra base to get through to third, but was thrown out. However, the aggression allowed Sebbane to reach second.
After Marshall got a strikeout for the first out of the inning, she got ahead of Annah Brittingham 0-and-2. The Salisbury designated player was able to connect on the next pitch, off the outside corner of the plate, driving a double off the fence in center field to bring home Sebbane for the early 1-0 lead.
Senior catcher Rebecca Hoey got ahead of Marshall 2-and-0 and sent a liner back up the middle to bring home Brittingham to stake Johnson to a 2-0 lead.
The Sea Gulls would grow the lead even more in the second, coming up with four hits off Marshall. After a leadoff single by senior Angela Malgieri, she was eliminated on a one-out fielder's choice off the bat of Dorsey, but Salisbury would do its damage with two outs. Sebbane just missed a home run by two feet with a double off the fence in left-center field, putting both runners in scoring position.
Paige Knussman stepped to the plate and just missed a three-run home run, hooking her shot just foul. But on the next pitch she was able to send a sinking liner to left field, which Scoop Simon came charging for and slid, but could not make the catch. The double scored both Dorsey and Sebbane, and Knussman would score later after stealing third and being driven home by Brittingham, who sent a single to left field for the 5-0 lead.
Johnson, and the Salisbury defense behind her, shut down the Captains the rest of the way. Johnson struck out seven in the contest, while surrendering just a single up the middle in the fifth inning by Rachael Shiflett. The defense came through in that inning to erase Shiflett as Hannah Cook lifted a ball to shallow center field. Junior Rachel Spadin charged and slid to make the catch for the first out of the inning, popped up and threw to first to double up Shiflett.
Spadin would run down a would-be extra-base hit in the gap in left-center field in the sixth inning before the Gulls put things away.
"Every day in practice we do these things called 'skill perfections' and I have to reinforce several times during the season the importance of them and then when we see something like this happen in a big game and we're able to make the routine plays… and Rachel makes a sliding play and Becca (Hoey) is backing that play up all the way, there's a lot of little things that people didn't see," Knight said.
Salisbury scored two runs in the fifth, off reliever Krista Lewis, highlighted by Knussman's team-high-tying ninth home run of the year to lead things off, and the Sea Gulls drew four walks to bring home the winning run in the sixth inning.
The heart of the Salisbury order did most of the damage offensively with Brittingham finishing 3-for-4, while Sebbane and Knussman were each 2-for-3. All three players and Dorsey scored twice, while Knussman drove in three and Brittingham had a pair of RBIs.
"It was a big win, it really boosted our confidence," Sebbane said. "We've been practicing all season for this. We really want it."
The teams meet again on Saturday, May 16, at 1 p.m., for the second game of the series. If Salisbury wins the game, it takes the series, and will advance to the NCAA Championship. If the Captains claim the game, the teams will turn around and play again at 3:30 p.m., for the final game of the series.

The blog is mostly to criticize, but for a moment let's offer some praise. The UN Security Council has voted to authorize a multinational military mission to try to bring the Somalia piracy situation under control. And it seems the mission is going to be led by China. And it seems that rather than freaking out, the US Navy is happy to see the spirit of international cooperation at work. Good job all around! This is international relations and international security at its best.
Now if only we hadn't screwed Somalia up in the first place….

If Andy Wakefield were a bond trader……
Yeah, I like all these pregnant pauses, too! One mulls and lets others rant for a while. Hell, this is an intense subject. Everyone who contributes has information to share and their own preconceptions as to the nature of the problems. My approach is of the informed, scientific but also humanist sceptic. I don't believe in conspiracy theories although I can see group behaviour channelled by history and the reality that is everyday life.
The builders incorporating blue asbestos did it feeling good about the positive contribution they were making, Japanese whalers are proud to land their catches, Thalidomide was prescribed to expectant mothers to help them and not to damage their unborn children, soldiers do appalling deeds proudly, for their countries and Tony Bliar sent our troops to Iraq, apparently with no doubts. I could go on for a long time, but you get my gist, I hope. It's OK to be wise after the event but, at the time, countless dumb mistakes have been made because practices were not yet questioned. If it seems to be working then why fix it? Why even look at it?
For the past couple of years we've been living through the results of another such set of mistaken beliefs unravelling. As Greeks, Portuguese, Spanish, Icelandic, Irish etc etc can testify it ain't over yet. But two years back, for all the bizarre unreality of it all, there seemed to be a never ending money pot. The more we spent, the more there was in the vault. Building, bonuses, bonhomie were all spread out with reckless abandon, unquestioned. But deep in the infrastructure of it all there was hidden but mounting desperation as ever junkier bonds were packaged and, as we've recently learned, the packers had the audacity both to sell them as a good product and to bet that they would soon plummet in value. They knew it was all a great big lie but could not possibly let it be known to the public.
Ok, not all mortgages were invalid – in fact most were reasonably conventional with the big proviso that house price inflation had created preposterous figures for the apparent values of dwellings. And so, of course, we put more and more stuff into them to increase their values more.
Dr Wakefield, bless him, was like a corporate broker who's job was maybe to sell these bonds on. "They'll grow and grow" he'd enthuse to investors, "at rates far above inflation." Only when he looked into their composition did any doubt appear and then what? He could leave his job but, after all those years of training, what else could he do? So he arranged to publish an article saying how certain bonds contained products that would damage some investors financial well being. At which point his bosses sacked him and carried on selling the bonds.
This was not, of course, a conspiracy, this was sound business common sense. To most users it was all just part of the cut and thrust of modern life. Money moved faster and faster but, as it moved, it made more money and kept the system in balance. So buildings went up, roads came to link them and few questioned this progression – everyone was just busy using them.
Of course Wakefield was trained in medical science and, more specifically, in digestive tract disorders and their causes but not in sudden onset mental disorders such as childhood autism.
However, as an associated intestinal problem was demonstrated to him he researched further. Together with a group of colleagues he published initial findings together with a tentative suggestion as to future avoidance of the problem. In doing this he brought down upon himself the full weight of the medical establishment. He was seen to be undermining the fundamental tenets of medicine, although only by suggesting that there existed an unresearched side effect on an unlucky group of children which could be eliminated by better management.
It would have been enough, though, to cripple the industry.
There are so many ASD, autistic spectrum disorder, patients in the UK that , were it accepted that their conditions had arisen by neglectful use of a proprietary medicine, the drugs companies and the medical establishment would be inundated with compensation claims. Lifelong care is expensive and each individual case would run into millions. This, though, would be just the start, for autism is by no means alone in being an illness developed post vaccination and only having arisen in modern medicine. Allergies, asthma, excema, obesity up to childhood leukaemia, sub-acute schlerotising para encephalitis (SSPE) and, of course, cot-death are all examples of such outcomes. Imagine paying for all those if they too were accepted as resultant from vaccination. Suffice to say that a very strong case can be and is made.
Conspiracy? No, of course not. It couldn't be managed and in fact the behaviour is fundamental to and evolved with the system. Otherwise it would not exist today. Wakefield's papers were not countered by controlled investigations into the outcomes from vaccinating one group of children and not vaccinating a second group. Instead past records were examined and the outcome in children who had received the MMR jab as well as other childhood vaccinations was compared with those who had had other childhood jabs but not the MMR.
Professor Paul Shattock, a pharmacist, head of the Autism Research Unit in Sunderland University, emphasised to me the need to isolate cause and effect. Thus they had to look just at the one jab (ie the MMR) and any effects it might have. However, if vaccination provokes a systemic response in the recipient, regardless of the particular antigens involved, then this does not hold. If you're hit by a rock it knocks you out whether it's sandstone or granite. Another facet of this is the phenomenon of "potentiation". This is being made ready for a greater response or rendered susceptible. Earlier jabs can do this and the MMR, one of the later shots used, can then set off an extreme response.
Autism, anyway, is known as a progressive condition. After it's first noticed it gets worse in stages, frequently coinciding with further jabs. (Ask Charlotte Moore of the Guardian, though she'll deny cause and effect, poor woman. Fancy making a career out of denying the cause of your children's disabilities and so not being in any position to try to correct the situation.)
So fundamental research is not considered. Instead all those involved in the pharmaceutical medicine practiced today assume the fundamental effectiveness and harmlessness of existing medicines and procedures. So they looked at millions of health records and could clearly demonstrate that there were no more ASD patients in the group who had received the MMR + other childhood jabs as opposed to the group which had just received the other childhood jabs.
Autism is a modern condition, first written about to describe a few cases found in the late 40s. Slightly more appeared in the 50s and 60s but the explosion in numbers came from the mid 70s onwards and increased in the 80s and 90s to the present very high occurrence. The rates closely parallel the increase in childhood vaccinations given, the total vaccine load, TVL.
So despite the fact that examination of both sets of health records show a significantly higher level of ASD than, for example, a group of 1940s records, the MMR is exonerated as a cause of ASD by the chosen method of comparison. A statistical trick. But see me using the phrasing of conspiracy – I shouldn't, as I don't think there is one. More it's committed thinking. "How can we demonstrate this clearly?" Accentuate your positives.
"Look, there's loads of money. Look we've packaged the risks up so's you cant even see them and the bonds will go up up up in value."
Won't they?

President Trump described today's Supreme Court decision on his travel ban as a "clear victory for our national security," but as Justice Clarence Thomas makes clear in his dissenting opinion, Trump's "victory" is muddy at best.
Why this matters: Trump can claim a symbolic win but the reality is that the Supreme Court isn't upholding his travel ban; it's allowing a much softer version of the original ban to stay in place until the Court hears the case properly in a few months.
Instead of halting travel for 90 days from six countries deemed to be terrorist threats — and suspending the U.S. refugee program for 120 days — the Court will let travelers from the banned countries enter the U.S. if they have "bona fide relationships" with people or entities in the U.S. That's a far cry from January, when senior White House officials wanted to bar green card holders and people traveling for medical emergencies.

Celebrating Nature's Gifts and Human Hands
Last week, my family, our friends and I celebrated Thanksgiving in the United States, and I know similar festivities occur in many other countries around the globe. It's important to acknowledge the effort that our farmers and customers make every day, which enables most of us to concentrate on other jobs without worrying about whether there will be enough food on our tables. In expressing our thanks to the hands that till the soil and produce our food, we should also remember that that there are far too many people who do not share in this bounty. And that is why our work at Bayer is so important.
As someone who has spent his career in research and development, I am keenly aware of the challenges we face and yet completely excited about the future of innovation in agriculture. From opportunities in plant breeding and crop protection, to new investments in soil health and digital farming, we are truly standing at the threshold of a new revolution in agriculture. I believe this will be a worthy successor to the Green Revolution of the 1950-60s that is most often attributed to Norman Borlaug. With our focus on open innovation and collaboration, there is nothing we cannot achieve if we marshal our combined resources and put our collective creativity to work.
Ag Technology Ambassador
Even though innovation is the only pathway to sustainable farming, we know that technology alone will not solve the many issues facing modern agriculture. I've talked often about how the loss of trust among producers and consumers diminishes our ability to cope with evolving pests, limited natural resources, volatile markets, shifting consumer preferences and a changing climate. It's clear that we can't "science our way" through this impasse until we come to terms with the strong feelings that separate and divide us. That begins and ends with honest communication. I'm proud of our efforts to be more transparent and I'm thankful for the countless volunteers in our industry who are willing to reach out to the public and provide a human face and voice to discuss the vital work that we do.
Celebrating Nature's Gifts and Human Hands
When I look back over my career, I am humbled by the quality of people in our industry and dedication of the hundreds of colleagues with whom I've had the pleasure of interacting, and I am grateful for the times I've shared with so many people, who have not only influenced me, but have also helped shape a new trajectory for agriculture's future. Much like our farmers and customers, they haven't shied away from the challenges facing us, nor let them distract us from our mission of feeding a hungry world.
As we prepare for the coming winter weather, let's not forget to take time to reflect on the joys that this season has to offer. As the French philosopher Albert Camus wisely noted, "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." So, each of us should take a moment to enjoy the abundance that nature has set before us and acknowledge the human hands that made it happen.

There are days, sometimes a week or more when I just can't…anything much less shop for groceries. Taking a shower is like running a marathon when you have an autoimmune disease or chronic pain. Walking from the shower to the bed feels like the last stretch of the mile I had to run in junior high school. It shouldn't be a surprise that shopping with chronic illness is akin to climbing a mountain for most Spoonies or Unchargeables. That's why I came up with some shopping tips for the chronically ill. I hope they help you as much as they have me.
When it's too hard for me to blink because of pain, exhaustion, and weakness there is no way I can go grocery shopping. It still needs to be done though. After you've licked the empty peanut butter jar clean and your dog's food starts to look better than starving something's gotta give.
When friends and family help…
Sometimes we have friends or family that can help us but most of them have jobs and their own lives. No matter how much they want to help it sometimes doesn't coincide with the times we are coherent or have the strength to shop. You may want to show them this list of shopping tips for the chronically ill so they understand a little more about what would be helpful.
I can't always stay awake or function when my family is available to take me grocery shopping. If they use my list they come back without things or get a different size or brand that just doesn't do the trick. They mean well and I'm not going to complain about any help I receive but it is nice to get what you want.
Here are my tips to make shopping for groceries easier if you have a chronic illness:
- Amazon, have things delivered to you. I like to buy some things in bulk because it is more cost effective and I can shop less. Anything that saves me from shopping is my hero.
- Walmart can be good but their inventory tracking doesn't seem to be in real time. That means the app could tell you your store has an item in stock but after you place your order you could wait days or weeks before you get what you ordered. You also have to go inside to pick up your order but you can check in when you leave your house so they can get your order ready to load into your vehicle. If you aren't in a hurry then this tip for shopping with chronic illness can work greatly in your favor. I have been lucky enough to have the person bring everything to the car and load it for me. I'm sure that unless they are swamped they will have no problem doing this for you. I haven't tried it but I have wondered if you could call Walmart to have someone help you shop or bring things to the car. I haven't tried their grocery app or ordering food from them online but it will be one of my next research tasks.
Have someone shop for you. One of the best tips for shopping for the chronically ill.
- Task Rabbit, hire someone to shop and pick up what you need.
- Use those bags that keep food hot or cold. I usually use them for cold or frozen food. If I have no energy when I get home I can leave the groceries in the car until my family is home to bring them inside.
- Uber Eats, order food from a restaurant and have it delivered. If you are so weak and exhausted you just can't go shopping and you live in an area that supports Uber Eats then this will at least get you through a meal or two. Hopefully, you will be able to shop or have someone else help you soon after.
- Uber to take you to pick up groceries. There are times we can't drive whether it is because of medication or exhaustion and pain. I have had to pull over and take a snooze because I was a danger to myself and others. When everyone else is busy get yourself an Uber to pick up groceries you ordered online or go in, shop and get another Uber home.
Use grocery store personal shoppers
- My grocery store here in south Texas is HEB and they have HEB Curbside where you order online, an employee shops for you and you just pick it up. I LOVE this because it makes everything so easy. I would do all my shopping like this if I could. We aren't too far off from that happening with drones becoming popular with Amazon for delivering orders.
- Shipt is another service I've heard good things about from friends. I have not personally tried it because the area I live in is pretty "small town" and doesn't really support things like this. We just got Uber not too long ago but there are never any cars available because there aren't any drivers. I used Uber when I stayed with my daughter in Houston.
Use the electric grocery scooter. I usually have to use my cane to get from the car to the store entrance. Once inside I grab the first scooter and put my cane in the basket out of the way. This makes it easier if you are weak, in pain or the fatigue is too much to walk the store with a cart. On my better days, I use the cart to hold me up.
- If you can shop online and have your items picked up. See if a friend or family member can do the pick up at a time that is convenient for them. This means you get exactly what you want and don't have to use precious energy shopping. Don't be afraid to ask if they will help you put things away too. When you are feeling up to it make them a special meal or dessert they like as a thank you.

Check out these other shopping tips for the chronically ill from other people just like us.
Kim over at Grace Is Sufficient has some more great ideas to help you get through shopping while staying sane and saving some energy. Here are her 12 Tips To Make Grocery Shopping Easier that I think you will like.
Sometimes it is hard for family and friends to understand how difficult everything is for you. I like to share articles to show family or friends how difficult every task is with my autoimmune disease. Sometimes it's nice to know you're not alone too. The Mighty had readers send in their stories about what grocery shopping is like when you have a chronic illness. Read more here.
Shopping while chronically ill or in a flare is much harder than able-bodied people understand. Sometimes it will be easier than others but, if you're like me, it takes too much out of you. I did some light shopping and light cleaning the other day. I slept for most of the next 48 hours and the 3rd day I was completely knackered.

Using some of these services or apps can help you conserve energy and, hopefully, keep you from triggering a flare. I like to use a grocery app called Grocery IQ to keep track of what I need to make shopping easier too. Still, there are times all I can do is try to text what I need to one of my kids. Try keeping a few people in reserve for those times you need groceries but can't get out of bed.
I love hearing all about how you tackle your struggles with chronic illness!

If you've qualified for VIVA Jeunesse 2019: Atlantis, you already know Atlantis Paradise Island Resort is a one-of-a-kind island playground in the Bahamas with enough indoor and outdoor activities to fill a day, and then some. Among the ways you can INDULGE. DISCOVER. EXPLORE. during this trip, don't overlook the resort's amazing aquariums and marine habitat.
It starts with "The Dig" – a winding walk through the submerged "streets" (and tunnels) of the fabled lost city of Atlantis. This underwater paradise is home to more than 100 venomous lionfish and 500 piranhas, along with dreamy, bouncy iridescent jellyfish and ominous moray eels. Perhaps the most charming of the habitat's alcoves are the smaller "Jewel Habitats," where you'll look in on the daily doings of bright and beautiful tropical species, from queen angelfish to Cuban hogfish to adorable seahorses.
The 2.7 million gallon Ruins Lagoon is home to more than 20,000 aquatic specimens, including stealthy zebra sharks, gigantic spotted eagle rays and scuttling spiny lobster. And you can snorkel in this lagoon! You might not want to do that in the Predator Lagoon, where a variety of sharks – great hammerheads, blacknose, Caribbean reef sharks and nurse sharks – prowl the depths along with barracudas and smalltooth sawfish. View them from the safety of the 100-foot lagoon tunnel. Though, if you're feeling more adventurous, you can rocket through the Mayan Temple Lagoon shark habitat on a waterslide or "Walk with the Sharks" in a Sea Trek diving helmet, with similar species on all sides of you. Where else can you do that?
Atlantis offers still more interactive environments that give you an up-close experience with stingrays, alligator gar, green sea turtles, starfish, redtail catfish, French grunts, blue parrotfish, squirrelfish and more. It's hard to imagine finding so much aquatic variety in one place, but you can see it for yourself! Beyond the endless experiences with marine life, the resort offers so much more, but only if you qualify for VIVA Jeunesse 2019: Atlantis. Don't miss your chance.

Please join us for the next Amazing Mini Show on Thursday, August 30, 2018 at 2 PM PDT!
WHEN: Thursday, August 30, 2018
WHAT TIME: 2 PM Pacific (5 PM Eastern, 10 PM GMT, 4PM Central)
WHERE: Poppit!
Rooms: Amazing Mini 1-20
Theme: Pogo's 19th anniversary!
Head on over to the Mini Mall, find some appropriate celebratory type Mini stuff, craft yourself an amazing Mini and join the fun!
Here are some helpful hints that will make this event more enjoyable for everyone:
- BE ON TIME! The judges will be going from room to room, and if they're in the middle of judging when you arrive, they will NOT be able to look at your Mini, so get there in plenty of time!
- STAY IN YOUR CHOSEN ROOM! Do NOT follow the judges from room to room! You can be disqualified for doing so!
- Remember, the fewer people in the room; the better your odds can be that you will be picked!
- And if all the rooms are full… We don't foresee all the rooms being full, but if there aren't enough, then we apologize profusely, and we will plan for more rooms next year.
- JUDGES CAN'T ENTER FULL ROOMS! If you realize the room you're in is full tell everyone in the room and make arrangements for a few of you to find a room less full.
- DO NOT CHANGE YOUR MINI until… Four hours after the event.
- What do you get if you're picked? Lots of people ask this during the event, and the answer is: fame and fun! This event is purely for the fun of it… it's about sharing your creativity and checking out what others have done with their Minis.
- How will I know if I got picked? You'll see your Mini in the Amazing Mini Hall of Fame in the Mini Mall!
And here are a couple of Amazing Mini tips and hints from a few of the judges: (See more Amazing Mini tips)
- Make sure every item is necessary! If you have Mini items that do not add to your Mini's scene, leave them out!
- Animations are nice… but they are not necessary for your Mini to be picked! We look for a thoughtful idea overall and we look forward to both animated and non-animated Minis.
- Think about your caption! A caption of some kind make s a big difference. Adding a clever caption to go with your outfit will help make you stand out, though a caption is not required.
- Be original… AND understanding! Don't copy someone else's Mini! And if you find someone with a similar Mini, don't assume that they stole it from you. It's very possible for two people to come up with the same idea!
We look forward to seeing your creations!

Growing Our Investment in Clean Energy
Growing the company's use of renewable energy is one of its strategies for achieving deep decarbonization. Our regulated utility, Madison Gas and Electric (MGE), set the goal of reducing carbon emissions at least 40% by 2030 and at least 80% by 2050. If MGE can go further faster by working with its customers, it will.
In February, MGE's newest, most powerful wind farm will come online to deliver enough cost-effective, clean energy to power about 47,000 households. The $108 million project in northeast Iowa is another step in MGE's ongoing transition toward cleaner energy sources.
MGE also is looking forward to construction this year of two large-scale solar projects, if approved. MGE is seeking to add 100 megawatts (MW) of new solar capacity from the Badger Hollow Solar Farm and Two Creeks Solar, both in Wisconsin. MGE's investment between the two projects is expected to be about $130 million.
MGE also plans to expand its successful community solar program, Shared Solar, with a second solar installation in the service territory. An expansion will allow more customers, including small- and medium-size business customers, to subscribe to the voluntary program. Shared Solar gives customers the opportunity to power their home or business with locally generated solar at minimal upfront cost.
In addition to advancing clean energy, MGE is working with customers and stakeholders to electrify transportation and to promote energy efficiency, both of which are key strategies for deep decarbonization. Visit mgeenergy.com/environment to learn more about MGE's commitment to sustainability and to read our 2018 Environmental and Sustainability Report [2.9 MB PDF].

Week 10 Prompt: Create for a Cause"So often we make art, and ask ourselves? Why? What's the point of this?
Well, art can be used for a number of wonderful things – for health and healing, for personal development, to bring people together, for raising awareness for a number of causes.
For this week's prompt, create art that has a cause…why do you make art? Or, think about a cause you are passionate about that you could create a page about in your journal."
Now that's deep, isn't it? I have no cause why I make art. I do it for myself but maybe someday I will be involved in making art for a cause. Well, every year I make cards or art works for Cancer month. Normally a fellow crafter from around the globe will request us to make bunch of cards and send it to her in which she will be giving it to a hospital or an organization.
Anyway, I really, really, really reviewed deeply why I spend money and time/effort in creating crafts. Most of the time I make for clients ... other times I make it for friends without any reason .... in some cases which is often I create items as gifts ... BUT I really do make art for the love of it and the fun that goes with it.
As I reviewed deeply I was able to summarized my justification et al explanation in 5 pointers:
- God's Gift - I'm honing and using one of the gifts that God has given me. I share it by creating and giving and teaching.
- Balance - I need to find balance in my everyday life in this crazy world.
- Sanity - oh yes! I'm a multi-tasking mom and it will drive me crazy to just do things under the title of a mom, wife, and homekeeper.
- Enjoyment - I need to do things that makes me happy otherwise hubby and my son will suffer hahahahahahahahhahahaha if you know what I mean. Plus doing art brings out the child-in-me, don't you?
- Expression - I do almost all kinds of craft but in art journaling I really get to express what I feel. There are many ways to express art but I enjoy most expressing my feelings through colors. Most of all Art is an outlet fro me to express myself as an individual.
The Process:
1. I sprayed the canvas with colors then used a corrugated board with white paint for some effect on the whole layout.
2. I used a 3D paint on the stencil for the silhouette effect. I love how this turned out coz it feels rubbery.
3. I highlighted the silhouette with stickles thus creating a shadowy effect.
4. Got some color chips from a paint store and opted to use ROYGBI (yes without the V)
5. Grabbed my alphabet stamps and decided to emboss it, too.
6. I had to use a black UNI pen to write the words so it will be readable then wrote my justification.
7. I adhered each color chip using magic tape. One just have to flip it to read what I wrote.
8. Used Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pen (white) and Neon Pen by promarker to write my title question.
9. Added an angel wing on the silhouette
10. Last touch is adding question mark paper clips.
Have a great week!
Thanks for viewing =)

This is the Cold Warrior M60A2 tank by Tomy.
Note there are no tracks on the kit!
Here it is with the Roco Humvee and Esci Vietnam era US Army troops.
Thanks to Don M asking for a side by side comparison between the Tomy and the Roco. Tomy in OD green. Their tracks are rubber and they disintegrate after about ten years.
The Roco in desert tan. Main differences were the cargo racks on the back and the searchlight on the side.
Roco came with a choice of gun types. I got this one used, the previous owner failed to glue on three U shaped lifting points, that's the holes in the turret, see one just behind the gun. The four holes along the rear are smoke launchers.
The basic hull is almost identical.
The pair together.

Daniel Craig refuses to share wedding details
The 43-year-old actor, who tied the knot with Weisz, 41, last month in a surprise low-key ceremony, insists it is "incredibly important" for him to maintain silence on the wedding episode to keep his private life out of the spotlight, reported Access Hollywood.
"I did it secretly – I can"t tell you how I pulled it off. My private life is incredibly important to me, and certainly that aspect of it is more than incredibly important to me," he said.
However, Craig"s friend Jason Isaacs has said that the actor is "very happy" following the nuptials.
Craig and Rachel will be seen together in the upcoming horror film "Dream House" together, which was filmed throughout 2010 and is due to be released in September.
The couple, who began dating in December, shocked everyone by tying the knot in front of just four people.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
American Airlines has problems contacting the FAA's Command Center in Herndon, Virginia, about the problems with its aircraft, according to four managers working at the airline's System Operations Control (SOC) center in Fort Worth, Texas, on this day. Craig Marquis, Craig Parfitt, Joe Bertapelle, and Mike Mulcahy will later tell the 9/11 Commission that American Airlines has "a hard time on 9/11 in getting in touch with Herndon." They will say that "[p]recious minutes were lost in building the communications bridge" between the SOC and the Command Center. The cause of these communication problems is unknown. [9/11 Commission, 11/19/2003 ] The SOC has known that there are problems on Flight 11 since 8:21 a.m., when Marquis received a call from a supervisor at the airline's Southeastern Reservations Office in North Carolina, alerting him to a call that had been received from one of the plane's flight attendants about the emergency taking place (see 8:21 a.m. September 11, 2001). Presumably the SOC starts trying to contact the FAA Command Center soon after receiving this call. It is known that the SOC will make contact with the Command Center at 9:16 a.m., if not earlier (see 9:16 a.m.-9:18 a.m. September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 9, 15] Bill Halleck, an air traffic control specialist at the SOC, is at least able to reach the FAA's Boston Center regarding Flight 11 at 8:29 a.m. (see 8:29 a.m. September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 5, 453] The four American Airlines managers will also tell the 9/11 Commission, "In the event that the [American Airlines] SOC was aware that it was the first to know about an incident [with an aircraft], the protocol would have been for the SOC manager on duty [i.e. Marquis] to have immediately autodialed to the Herndon manager on duty [i.e. Ben Sliney] with the information." However, the FAA "knew what was going on because of the intercepted communications from the cockpit." [9/11 Commission, 11/19/2003 ] (FAA air traffic controllers have been aware of problems with Flight 11 since around 8:14 a.m., when they lost communication with the plane (see 8:14 a.m.-8:24 a.m. September 11, 2001), and they subsequently hear communications made by the hijackers on the plane, beginning at 8:24 a.m. (see 8:24 a.m. September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 18-19] )

Craig Marquis, the manager on duty at the American Airlines System Operations Control (SOC) center in Fort Worth, Texas, describes to his colleague Mike Mulcahy what he has been told about the trouble on Flight 11, but says he does not want this information to be passed on. [American Airlines, 9/11/2001, pp. 7-19; 9/11 Commission, 11/19/2003 ] Marquis is currently on the phone with Nydia Gonzalez, a supervisor at the American Airlines Southeastern Reservations Office in North Carolina. Gonzalez is relaying to him information provided to her by Betty Ong, a flight attendant on Flight 11, about what is happening on the hijacked plane (see (8:21 a.m.) September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 8-9] Marquis Describes Hijacking of Flight 11 - Marquis now talks to Mulcahy and describes what he knows about the crisis. [9/11 Commission, 11/19/2003 ] Mulcahy is the manager of SOC policies and procedures. His responsibilities include maintaining the emergency procedure checklist used in the SOC. [9/11 Commission, 11/19/2003 ] After telling him to "come here," Marquis says to Mulcahy: "I got an incident going on here. Flight 11, from Boston to LA. The number three flight attendant [i.e. Ong] called and said that two male passengers [i.e. hijackers] on board stabbed the number one and the number five flight attendant." Marquis says the two hijackers have "broken into the cockpit and the plane is being flown erratically right now." He adds that the hijackers "were in seats 2A and 2B." Apparently still talking to Mulcahy, Marquis gives the instruction, "All the information on Flight 11, bring it to me here." He then repeats what he knows about the incident, saying: "The passengers in 2A and 2B, two male passengers, have broken into the cockpit, stabbed the number one flight attendant. Okay, so right now the plane is being flown erratically, but that's all we know." Marquis Tells Colleague to Keep Quiet about Hijacking - Marquis then says he wants the news of the incident kept quiet. He says: "I don't want this spread all over this office right now. Any information that you get, send to me, okay?" [American Airlines, 9/11/2001, pp. 7-19] A tape recording of today's events in the SOC, including this conversation, will in 2004 be played to some relatives of victims of the 9/11 attacks. One relative, who is a veteran flight attendant for United Airlines, will, after hearing the tape, be highly critical of the apparent desire of American Airlines managers to keep the news of the hijacking among themselves. She will say: "It was disgusting. The very first response was cover-up, when they should have been broadcasting this information all over the place." Another relative will say, "I find it alarming that the airline… would want to hold something as horrific as a hijacking among a few people, when bells and whistles should have been going off in all categories of responsibility." [New York Observer, 6/20/2004]

There really is a holiday for everything, and so today we celebrate the cheeseburger
Some of your favorite burger spots are serving up discounts -- and free burgers -- to celebrate.
Happy National Cheeseburger Day! Yes, there really is a day for everything.
But a day for everything means there's a deal for everything, and so some of your favorite burger spots are serving up discounts -- and free burgers -- to celebrate.
We're not sure when this day was invented or why it falls on this day in particular, but we do know these random facts about cheeseburgers:
The cheeseburger was likely invented by a teenager
If you're going to be devouring a juicy burger today, you may have Lionel Clark Sternberger to thank.
Legend has it that Sternberger invented the cheeseburger sometime in the mid-1920's, forever altering the course of human history.
Mr Sternberger -- can we call you "Berger" for short? -- was a teenage short-order cook at a restaurant called The Rite Spot in Pasadena, California.
One day, Sternberger slapped some cheese on top of a patty and America was never the same.
Americans have a favorite cheese for their burger
Forget the fancy stuff. Unsurprisingly, Americans prefer American cheese on their burger. According to the 2019 Burger Consumer Trend Report, 70% of Americans prefer the processed stuff over cheddar cheese.
Where you can get a deal on a cheeseburger
So now, the real question. Where can you score a juicy cheeseburger deal on National Cheeseburger Day? Search no more -- we have the answers right here.
Applebee's: Classic Bacon Cheeseburger's are just $6.99. Plus, the chain is offering endless fries with the burger.
Jack in the Box: You can get a free burger by making any purchase through the Jack in the Box app at a participating restaurant.
Wendy's: There are exclusive coupons in the Wendy's app today, but no free burgers.
White Castle: The chain is offering one free Cheese Slider with any purchase today only.
Smashburger: Bring a friend and get a buy-one-get-one free deal on double classic Smashburgers.
Red Robin: You can get a Gourmet Cheeseburger and Bottomless Steak Fries for $5 with any beverage purchase at participating restaurants today.
Dairy Queen: Try the chain's new two for $4 Super Snack deal today, which comes with mix and match snacks including choice of a cheeseburger, a small sundae, fries, pretzel sticks or chicken tenders.
Burger King: Burger King isn't just celebrating today, but this deal lasts through Sunday. You can get a cheeseburger for just 59 cents with a mobile order on the app.
Or hey, you know what? Burgers aren't too hard. Head on down to your local grocery store and pick up some bread, cheese, and meat (or something meat-like if you stick to veggies) -- and celebrate one of the greatest sandwiches known to humankind.

The Forgotten Capital, also known as the Forgotten City, is a ruined city in Final Fantasy VII. It is located on the arctic Northern Continent, just after the Sleeping Forest and far to the East of Icicle Inn.
A few of the houses still stand, many still containing furniture, artifacts, and even beds, indicating the area appears just as it did when it was abandoned long ago.
Some points of interest in the Forgotten City include the Holy Machine, which allows one to communicate with the planet, and an underground section of town consisting of several crystal buildings surrounding a Cetra altar.
As far as architecture goes, the inhabitants of the Capital incorporated nature into their buildings, many having roofs made up from Conch Shells and other organic sources. The general layout of the area seems to invoke an aquatic motif. Many of buildings have a shell-like appearance. The ground seems to be similar to the sea floor.
Below the ground level is a hidden "castle" with medieval-style towers that is connected to the surface with a staircase made of light. This area holds a spring and an altar.
The city was the primary capital of the ancient Cetra civilization for about two millennia. After the Calamity from the Skies, Jenova, nearly wiped out the Cetra, the few survivors left gradually became assimilated into human culture. The city itself has been an abandoned ruin since then.
Cloud Strife and his party enter the Forgotten Capital in search of Aeris, the last of the Cetra line. She had left the party to summon Holy, through which she could defeat the cataclysm of Meteor. The party finds the place eerily silent. They spend the night here, but are awoken in the middle of the night due to a strange sound.
As they investigate, they find a path down into the underground section of the city. There they find Aeris praying to summon Holy. Cloud comes forward and being controlled by Sephiroth, almost kills her. He breaks the control and steps away; however, Sephiroth himself swoops down from the ceiling and ruthlessly kills Aeris, ending the line of the Cetras forever. Cloud, in a tearful rage, demands to know why Aeris had to be murdered so horribly. Sephiroth only laughs off his Clone's emotion, and leaves Jenova∙LIFE for the party to fight. They defeat the creature and continue on their journey, badly shaken.
Bugenhagen comes with the party much later, after Meteor has been unleashed upon the world. They come to find out just what Aeris was trying to do before Sephiroth cut her down. However, they need the Key to the Ancients to work the dormant machines inside the city.
It is found at the bottom of the sea using the Submarine. When the key is used, the scene of Aeris's death is replayed. It is at this point that Bugenhagen realizes that Holy had already been summoned and that Sephiroth is blocking it. He must be killed in order to save the Planet from Meteor.
The party's planning is cut short by the arrival of the Diamond Weapon just beneath the city. With the monster en route to destroy Midgar, the party races to stop it.
Two years after the defeat of Sephiroth, Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo used the Capital as their base, bringing Tseng and Elena there to torture them, and later the Geostigma infected children. Cloud goes to rescue them, but is defeated because of the effects of Geostigma. Vincent Valentine saves Cloud and Marlene from the three remnants.

The biggest storm of the season hit here in late January and it was declared a state-large emergency due to the ice, cold temperatures and falling snow. Schools and companies were closed for a number of days and most grocery store cabinets were bare. This wouldn't even make the information in Chicago but here it is very serious due to the freeze and thaw.
The backyard designs were probably the most breathtaking. Water fountains and flowers of ever rainbow color adorned the gardens together with fantastically crafted water fountains. Little brick pathways led to small rock ponds and waterfalls. thoughforce, you are right that the projects right here will certainly hold you amassing corks for quite a very long time. Thanks!
The panels of this arbor are adorned with vertical spires topped by golden orbs below oval arches. Train your vines and climbing crops to develop through the leaf sample by weaving them out and in of the steel design. Like you, Chazz, I've change into a Squidoo addict and I'm pleased with it! Once again, an incredible lens with attention to element and quality. Bravo!
Wow, impressive work! It never would have occurred to me to try to make them myself. Great thought although. Nice! Exquisite! Another favorite of mine, so lots of yours are on my fav listing! Nominated for LOTD! and of course, Blessed! Here is a demonstration of tilling the soil with a garden claw. This backyard claw is among the newer fashions. It is simple to see why it is such a useful backyard too. Sweet William flowers are a standard cottage backyard flower they're easy to grown however they are a biennial which means you will not see any flowers until the second 12 months if you are growing them by seed.
Oh sure and I've all of your favorites in my garden too and some extra……lovely lens and it is now showcased on the Weekend Gardeners FB page too! Come on over and be part of us there too! Hershey Kids's Garden was created as the first public children's backyard in the state of Ohio and it's also one of many few of its variety in the United States. Layout – determine the size of meant patio. Define with stakes and strings to define the world earlier than you dig.
