Large, beautifully decorated house on a quiet dead end of a peaceful dirt road in Acquinnah. 3 couples and 3 small kids had plenty of space. Away from it all, but just a short walk to Lobsterville bay-side beach and 5 minutes by car to the ocean beach. Fully equipped for cooking, eating, and deck sitting for 9 people. The owner was very helpful in answering all questions in advance, and our stay was delightful.
We recently stayed at Aquinnah Skye for a week for a family wedding. It really was a flawless stay! First of all, the home is in an idyllic setting, surrounded by trees and a pond. The deer came by in the morning to say hello, as if to welcome us to each day. The home is an example of superb craftsmanship, post and beam style. It has a beautiful kitchen, complete with a quiet running dishwasher, and a gorgeous gas range/oven and vent hood. There is counter seating for four, with plenty more available in the dining room. The dining room has a beautiful fireplace with sliding doors onto one of the three decks. Grilling? No problem, as a good size unit is located on the deck just outside the kitchen. The living room is equally spacious, with a sofa and seating around another fireplace. And from that room you can meander out onto a larger deck area, where family and friends can enjoy all of the fresh air of Martha's Vineyard and Aquinnah. If you'd rather sit inside, just off the living room is a sun room, with plenty of plants and windows. There is a full laundry with an LG washer and dryer, and adjacent to the bathroom is the first floor bedroom. It's perfect for someone who has trouble with stairs. The rest of the bedrooms are upstairs, and the master has a great view looking towards Vineyard Sound. There's even a deck upstairs for private relaxation. All guest bedrooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable. We had 8 adults staying at one point in time with no overcrowding feeling. Those who want breezes can enjoy opening up the many windows, or crank open the skylights. There is also A/C/heat if the climate demands some help. The home has a water filtration system and a great outdoor shower!All in all, we can't say enough about this fantastic vacation home. Lobsterville Beach is a very close walk away. We hope to return and escape to this finely built home/setting in the future. It's an experience we will not soon forget. Lindsey & Pamela Dean show more show less
Wonderful home. Clean and complete. Kitchen well stocked with everything a cook needs to prepare a gourmet meal. Cozy yet plenty of room to find a quiet spot to read/relax or for all to gather. We highly recommend this home.
Excellent in every way. Very clean, very well-equipped and very well-maintained. You can really see all the care that goes into this home. Our two favorite aspects were the location - so private and so close to the beach - and the charm of the house, which was very appealing - a giant step above all the other rentals we looked at. We would highly recommend this house and would definitely return again.
Great house - clean, spacious, beautiful location and completely private as well as multiple decks and gorgeous landscaping make this an ideal vacation house. the house is meticulously clean, well decorated and comfortable. the kitchen and dining room were perfect for large festive meals. could not recommend this house more highly!

From Zero to Hero
From Zero to Hero
From Zero to Hero
Finally, creative education that speaks your language!
Finally, creative education that speaks your language!
In the new age, content is truly king.
In the 21st century, it's easier than ever to make movies, find an audience, and hone your craft.
The internet revolution has made filmmaking a potentially lucrative career. Makers need no longer toil in coffee shops on the fringes of society, hoping one day someone might, read, watch, or (gasp) even buy their work. If you want to be a filmmaker, you don't need a side hustle to fall back on anymore. With all the opportunities available nowadays, it's totally possible to make a great living from your work.
Information speeds around the web at the speed of lightning, and the barriers to entry to pursue a career in film are lower than ever. In fact, most of us carry around an HD movie camera in our pockets 24/7. It's not inconceivable you could finish writing your script or filming your movie, sell it, and see production start all within one short 30-day period.
Unfortunately, traditional film and screenwriting education has been slow to adapt to the new era. Many established and well-respected institutions are teaching the same syllabi they were 20 years ago, with no consideration for the internet revolution.
Tuition fees are also drastically out of step with the potential earnings an everyday screenwriter might see. Graduate writers often start their careers with an albatross of debt hanging around their necks and no payday in sight.
Dusty lecturers at legacy schools might be totally ignorant of peak cinematic TV, web series, the indie film festival circuit, and the many opportunities afforded to creatives via online streaming networks.The "opinion leaders" you're paying might never have experienced any real-life Hollywood successes outside the classroom – and if they did it was probably a long time ago.
If you dream of pursuing a career in the cinematic arts,
FilmCraft has got your back.
We're here to help you write or shoot that movie, launch that career, and get paid for your work.
The FilmCraft promise
We don't set high barriers for students to enter our program – we keep things inexpensive and packed with relevant information.
We're not incentivized to keep you in full-time education, but instead encourage you to get out into the working world and earn some of those sweet $$$s.
We update our courses whenever they need it – not once every quarter century.
We don't teach untested theory; every method and technique you'll learn has been used
We talk your language. We're part of the digital revolution. Our courses are video-based, made by creators for creators.
Being a creative should be fun. We bring it with the jokes to keep you running back to your browser to check in on today's lesson.

Dear Reader,
Please watch the following TED Talk in which Aaron Huey discusses treaty history and its impact on the Lakota Sioux in South Dakota, USA. Following it will be some commentary on it.
The theme of this blog is history, and this entry harks back to the first piece of writing within it. Much like the work Zinn did in his book entitled A People's History of the United States, Huey plots historical dates on which the US government waged so-called "battles" against the Sioux. Huey criticizes the notion of these massacres being called battles, and suggests that the US government is guilty of genocide against Native American prisoners of war.
Huey's use of photographs taken in recent years that depict the standard of life the Sioux people now live go a long way to highlight what was taken from them in the early years of US sovereignty. Huey carefully juxtaposes his historical talk with images of today to illustrate the impact of history on peoples' lives.
Although Zinn's work and Huey's talk are indictments of US governmental corruption, we in Canada must not forget our government acted in ways very similar. In 1877, Sitting Bull of the Hunkpapa Sioux lead hundreds of his people to Canada to take refuge from the brutality of General George Armstrong Custer and his army. After a few months camped at Fort Walsh, the only RCMP barracks in Western Canada, James Walsh was instructed by John A. McDonald to send Sitting Bull and his people back to the US where they would meet certain death. Although Walsh was conflicted about this decision and debated it for some time, eventually he bowed to the US pressure that McDonald was facing and sent the Hunkpapa Sioux over the border. The result was yet another massacre killing many before Sitting Bull surrendered and was made to live the remainder of his life in the Wild West Show – a puppet for a way of life that once was.
Huey's talk highlights how land was taken, food resources were wiped out and people were killed all because treaty agreements were not upheld. But Huey does not stop there, he goes on to discuss the disproportionate rate that Native Americans currently suffer from disease, incarceration, and low life expectancy.
Huey ends his talk by indicating that something can still be done about the manner in which Native Americans have been treated. He suggests that we honor the treaties that have been made. He finishes by saying: "Give back the Black Hills. It's not your business what they do with them."
We here in Canada should be ashamed of our government and the manner in which it has treated not only First Nations people but also immigrants from all parts of the world. There is little difference between our history and the one Huey outlines. Become informed of the injustice people have suffered in this country. It's the only way to defeat the ignorance millions of people suffer from.
Thanks for reading.

The Best and Simplest Mercury Retrograde Communication Tool You'll Ever Need
Every time Mercury goes retrograde the biggest hurdle to overcome is communication issues. When this planet, which rules communication of all kinds, goes retrograde it can create obstacles in your relationships because of misunderstandings, triggers, fighting, jumping to conclusions, and other miscommunications. Yet, it does not have to be this way. All you have to do is prepare yourself with the right tools to mitigate the retrogrades energy and still have great communication. The following is a useful communication tool that can help during Mercury retrograde and every other part of the year. But first…
What To Be Mindful Of During Mercury Retrograde
Any communication during Mercury retrograde should be done mindfully and patiently. It is best to try to explain yourself fully and clearly every time you speak as if you and the listener are speaking different languages. During Mercury retrograde, it often feels that way. To avoid major outfalls, here are some general triggers to look out for and tips to overcome them.
Do not:
- Do not start new relationships. Most relationships that begin during Mercury retrograde do not last.
- Do not speak impulsively. You are more likely to upset or offend someone this way.
- Do not jump to conclusions, and be cautiously observing if others are doing the same when you speak.
- Avoid giving mixed messages; be very mindful of what you are trying to express to others.
- Do not cut corners in communication. During Mercury retrograde, it pays off to take your time with what you have to say in order for your message to be heard and understood.
- Do not take anything personally. Other peoples minds may be clouded at this time, and everything they say reflects back to them not you.
- Reunite with old friends who know you well.
- Revisit old relationships in your mind to see if there was a lesson or knowledge you missed.
- Pause and think through what you have to say before speaking.
- Take everything you hear with a grain of salt. There may be a lot of confusion in everyone's head during Mercury retrograde. Remember these conversations and come back to them to re-assess when the timing is better.
- Stay in touch with your emotions and carefully assess where they lead.
- Forgive, forgive, forgive. Whether it is an old argument or something that someone said during Mercury retrograde, learn to let go of anger—it does nothing to serve you. Also, make sure to forgive yourself if you were the one in the wrong.
#1 Communication Tool: The Three Gates of Speech
Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates:
- At the first gate, ask yourself "Is it true?"
- At the second gate ask, "Is it necessary?"
- At the third gate ask, "Is it kind?"
Often called the three gates of speech, the above passage is an amazing tool to use in all of your communication, and may be especially useful when Mercury is retrograde.
The origins of this communication tool are often linked to Rumi, the ancient mystic poet, but it may have been someone else. Regardless, the message is beautiful, clear, and helpful.
Because Mercury retrograde is known for creating rumors and placing confusion in people's heads, before speaking ask yourself, "Is it true?" Are you absolutely sure it is true? Or have you heard it once and ran with it, or even worse, jumped to a conclusion when emotionally triggered?
Then ask yourself, "Is it necessary?" It is important to speak with intention during this time. Is what you are going to say going to help someone, or make their life better? Or is saying it not productive and serves nothing but your ego? Truth can also hurt, and is it necessary if there are no practical results to take place?
Finally, ask yourself, "Is it kind?" Emotions can run high during Mercury retrograde and it is not difficult to upset another. No matter what you have to say that is truthful and necessary, there are always different ways of presenting your information. Choose to speak it kindly.

Opening Ceremony of Zhang Ding's Centennial Birth Exhibition held at Tsinghua University Art Museum
On October 15th, the opening ceremony of Zhang Ding's Centennial Birth Exhibition was held in the hall of Tsinghua University Art Museum. Those in attendance and who delivered speeches included Professor Qiu Yong, the President of Tsinghua University, Professor Feng Yuan, the Vice President of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and curator of Tsinghua University Art Museum, Mr. Xu Li, Vice President of the China Artists Association, Professor Chang Shana, the former Dean of the former Central Academy of Craft Art, and Mrs.
Lizhao, the widow of Professor Zhang Ding. The ceremony was hosted by Prof. Lu Xiaobo, Dean of the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University.
President Qiu stated that Prof. Zhang Ding was an outstanding revolutionary artist and art educator, and an indispensable figure in China's modern art history. He founded and pioneered the education of art and design in modern China and made great contributions in many art fields. Professor Zhang Ding cultivated numerous art talents, and won respect from teachers, students, artists, and the public alike.
President Qiu hoped the exhibition would inspire more young people to devote themselves to an artistic career, and create works of art worthy of the spirit of our time.
The president also emphasized that cultivating talents has always been the most significant task of a university. Art plays an indispensable role in nurturing students' integrity and establishing a humane environment. Tsinghua University would further promote the development of art and art education, and spread the spirit of the artists of the older generation to enrich students' knowledge and elevate their taste in art.
Prof. Feng Yuan, Mr. Xu Li and Prof. Chang Shana said that works by Zhang Ding had made a great contribution in disseminating Chinese culture.
Mrs. Lizhao, the widow of Prof. Zhang, extended her appreciation to Tsinghua University for holding Zhang Ding's Centennial Birth Exhibition. The exhibition effectively displayed her late husband's rich artistic career. What he left behind was not only his work but also his spiritual legacy.
Throughout Prof. Zhang Ding's life, he witnessed and experienced the various artistic trends and important events in the development of modern art in China.
He independently designed or created jointly with other people the National Emblem and the emblem of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). As a pioneer, he was the first artist to hold a traditional painting exhibition in a western country and his meeting with Picasso bridged the cultural barriers between China and the west.
Zhang's art influenced not only a whole historic era but also the education of art and design. He was also the chief promoter in the renaissance of Chinese frescoes.

I've spoken to a couple of company commanders in Iraq who say they don't have much of a problem with roadside bombs. The big reason why: they avoid the main streets in their neighborhoods, travelling where their enemies aren't.Now, the Pentagon is looking to use that technique all over Iraq, according to Inside Defense. "Rather than trying to defeat improvised explosive devices (IEDs) head-on with new technologies and tactics, the Defense Department is looking to... construct new roads for supply convoys that simply bypass densely populated, high-threat areas."
The Army is seeking $167 million in military construction funds as part of the Pentagon's soon-to-be detailed $65.3 billion supplemental spending request for fiscal year 2006 to pave roads capable of supporting two-way traffic, complete with shoulders, drainage structures and interchanges to connect with existing supply routes, according to a draft version of the request.Failure to provide these routes will result in continued exposure of U.S. and coalition forces as well as Iraqi non-combatants to unacceptable insurgent threats to include IED and vehicle borne IED and direct fire exposure, states the draft budget document obtained by InsideDefense.com and set to be delivered to Congress soon....There have been approximately 28,000 IED incidents in Iraq between April 2003 and November 2005, according to Jan. 24 briefing slides prepared by Multi-National Force-Iraq.

The relationship between a motorcyclist and his bike is a far more powerful one than the typical relationship between a driver and their car. After all, when there is nothing surrounding you from the world, when you are mere inches away from the bare, hard ground, and you are never more than a slippery bit of road away from meeting it, you grow to rely upon your motorcycle. You get to know every little detail, every noise, every vibration of the mighty beast throbbing between your legs. Yes we really used that description, and yes I am starting to regret it. Driving a car feels more distant; until the very worst happens the world is something to be casually observed at an arms length through your windows, as you sit comfortably in your leather seat, with the air conditioning set just right And maybe a bit of Terry Wogan on the radio to keep you company. Motorbiking is far more involved, more intense, more exciting. There's a reason that there's a common conception that when doctors desperately need an organ for transplant they pray for rain and a motorcycle rally. You may not get to work in one piece, but you'll be glad to be alive if you do. NB

During the summer of 2015, I worked as a UX/UI intern for a wonderful Atlanta-based startup FullStory. During my time there, I worked on a variety of projects. From small icons for FullStory's "Magic Moments" to completely redesigning the new customer onboarding experience, my time at FullStory was invaluable. During the summer of 2015, I helped design Fullstory's popular "Magic Moments" and redesigned the new user onboarding emails, boosting trial to paid customer conversion by 23%.
Below is a sample of the work I did that I can show. To see it all, head on over to FullStory's website to check out everything I worked on in action! If you'd like to learn more about my design process at FullStory and how I got to final designs, feel free to ping me an email! Who know's maybe you'll really like FullStory and start seeing customer experiences in a new way too!

Josh Teague - Design Lead
FullStory is a customer experience data app that allows users to record, analyze, search, and play back all user experiences for their websites.
Understanding clicks, scrolling, and page transition, is great for understanding the basics. However there's one important realization missing from this: user experience services (aka Fullstory) should bring emotional experiences to light.
Fullstory users felt underwhelmed, bored, and inefficient without a tool to discover emotional insight.
"Fullstory's timeline needs a set of moments that help users identify emotional pain points in customers while using a website."
Before fully kicking off the fuel project from a design perspective, the design, customer happiness, and business operations teams created a new fuel policy to have something to compare to when doing researcha and design work. The new policy was based on the business challenges above. This new policy used a system of debits and credits to always make sure that renters only pay for used fuel and to discourage bad actors. The parts of the new fuel policy were as follows below:
Frustration with broken links.
Irritation with latency.
Confusion over where to go on page.
Poor performance due to JS errors.
Emotion is expressed with "facial expression, behavioral response, and physical responses, which include physiological, postural, and vocal changes."
- Charles Darwin
After taking a few days to consider the customer pain points above and how they might be represented visually, I realized that the most appropriate solution might come from a history book. As the quote by Charles Darwin above describes, emotions are most often expressed with facial expressions. So why not use facial emotions to an advantage in bringing customers' emotional frustrations to light?
Realization that a gradient of emotion over time is key to effectively displaying growing "rage" over latency issues.
More realizations that changes to both facial expression and color were superfluous...
Rage clicks express a gradient of "rage" with site latency.
Mouse thrashing shows when users don't know where to go.
Dead clicks convey frustration with broken links.
JS Errors show poor performance due to Javascript errors
Below are some key takeaways from this project, including what I'd might do if I were to pick back up on things today. There's no design that's ever truly 'done,' so taking time to reflect on my work has been invaluable for professional growth.
Solves major design challenge by providing users an interaction and UI to identify UX pain points.
Magic Moments are a user favorite and spurred a competitor Mouseflow to create a "click rage" feature.
Explore further UI iterations and information design methods.
User engagement for growth is important, especially at a budding start-up like FullStory. With this is mind, there's three factors that help keep any user engagement efforts scoped and in context.
First impressions are the only impressions. Express the what, how, and when of product. Email is a top resource to boost churn and new user conversion.
New Fullstory users felt annoyed, confused, and disppointed by stale emails.
When redesigning user onboarding flows, I mocked up two possible paths for users to take during onboarding. One, the "happy path" for positive user onboarding and two, a "sad path" to steer hesitant users to the "happy path." Below is a basic outline of the flows I ended with.
Below are the final "happy path" emails after several rounds of iteration. These emails are still in use, standing the test of time in a fast-paced environment at FullStory were things are constantly evolving and changing.

Would you like to make money by making new websites? There's nothing stopping anyone who has their own professionally hosted website from creating more websites for absolutely no cost that will make money for you over time.
I've blogged about this before, but as long as your host allows you to create subdomains – and most good ones do – you can use this feature to extend the scope of your website and make money by creating subdomain sites in different niches.
It helps if your domain name is pretty generic, as you wouldn't put a doggy-based subdomain next to a mortgage lending domain! Although you could get creative and put a lamppost subdomain next to a doggy domain!
Ok, frivolity aside, you can do this if you want to make money badly enough!
I'm going to use this post to announce the creation of one of my newer make money subdomain websites – here's the link:
From the anchor text, you might just gather that the website is all about payday loans, and it is designed to make money from the payday loans niche. If you notice the top level domain, it's about as generic as you can get – Niche Affiliate Marketing is a nothing domain that I grabbed purely because it means nothing, is short (4 characters) and so can be used to attach any subdomain site to make money from that I have a mind to (and the time).
Payday Loans a fully functioning website in its own right, with information articles all about payday loans as well as some loans and finance affiliate products to make money from already in there. It's also set up with pay per click ads to make money from too.
As time goes by, I'll introduce more products and promote the site, which is heavily SEO'd for the keywords "payday loans" which, although they are taboo keywords, I believe that as long as the site is genuine and has informational value, then it should get indexed and find its way to a reasonably high spot for those keywords and make money for me.
It's fun experimenting with different niches and I've already created several other niche subdomain sites to make money from using the same generic domain as their base. I'll be bringing them into the light as soon as they're sufficiently populated with content to warrant being visited.

American Journal of Play Publishes 10th Anniversary Issue
May 17, 2018
For Immediate Release
Shane Rhinewald, 585-410-6365, firstname.lastname@example.com
Noelle McElrath-Hart, 585-410-6325, firstname.lastname@example.com
American Journal of Play
Publishes 10th Anniversary Issue
that Explores Play and the Human Experience
ROCHESTER, NY—The Strong's American Journal of Play published its first issue in 2008 and has been at the leading edge of the study of play throughout the past decade. The Journal has published 145 articles, 32 interviews, and more than 300 book reviews in its 10-year run that have reached thousands of readers and researchers around the globe. In its recently published 10th anniversary issue, the Journal continues its ground-breaking work and explores play as a fundamental pathway of human experience.
In the lead article, Thomas Henricks, one of the world's foremost play scholars and distinguished professor at Elon University, dissects the forms of play—exploration, construction, interpretation, and dialogue—to characterize play as an essential strategy for living and self-realization. "Players seek to know what they can do in—and to—the world," says Henricks. "The world includes not only external forms and forces but also their own psychological and physical capacities. In that latter sense, people play to change themselves."
Henricks posits that all life activities feature self-positioning, and that play focuses on "building the personal frameworks useful for addressing forthcoming challenges, both anticipated and unanticipated." This, he argues, makes play critical to a satisfying life.
Additional articles in Vol. 10, No. 2 of the American Journal of Play include:
"Examining Literacy Practices in the Game Magic: The Gathering," by Autumn M. Dodge (with Paul A. Crutcher). The author discusses Magic: The Gathering as not only a card game but also as a literacy tool. Dodge explores the perspectives of a novice and long-time player to examine vocabulary, multimodal texts, comprehension, and embodied literary practices.
"Role Playing in Children's Literature: Zilpha Keatley Snyder and The Egypt Game," by Cathlena Martin. The author examines the roots of role playing games, arguing that their history goes back much further than JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and other more modern fantasy novels. Martin argues that many role-playing game concepts sprang from earlier children's literature, particularly Zilpha Keatley Snyder's The Egypt Game, which the author
describes as a forerunner to games like Dungeons & Dragons.
"Toward Creativity: Do Theatrical Experiences Improve Pretend Play and Cooperation Among Preschoolers?" by Meredith L. Rowe, Virginia C. Salo, and Kenneth Rubin. The authors examine preschool play sessions before and after theater productions to measure children's engagement, cooperation, and misbehavior. They conclude that theatrical performances enhance the cooperation and pretenses among preschoolers, and that they play a key role in early creative and social-competence development.
The complete issue of the American Journal of Play can be accessed freely online at www.journalofplay.org. Printed editions are also available for subscription and single-copy purchase.
About the American Journal of Play
The American Journal of Play is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary publication that serves as a forum for discussing the history, science, and culture of play. Published three times each year by The Strong museum in Rochester, New York, the Journal includes articles, interviews, and book reviews written for a broad readership that includes educators, psychologists, play therapists, sociologists, anthropologists, folklorists, historians, museum professionals, toy and game designers, policy makers, and others who consider play for a variety of reasons and from various perspectives.

3rd-level transmutation
Classes: Druid, Warlock, Wizard
Casting Time: 1 action
Components: V, S, M (a handful of stones)
Range: 120 feet
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Note This spell is usually only available as a Secret of the Stone, but at the GM's discretion, it may also be available for other classes.
You create a 20-foot-radius animated spherical cloud of earth and rocks, originating from an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The space of origin must feature rocks or earth or the spell fails.
The cloud lasts for the spell's duration and it moves at your command, mimicking the movements of your hand (or other appendage). The cloud is considered to be an object that has AC 16 and hit points equal to 1/2 your hit point maximum. If it drops to 0 hit points, the spell ends. It has a Strength of 16 (+3) and a Dexterity of 10 (+0). The cloud doesn't fill its space and can move through all creatures smaller than itself since it is partially immaterial. When you cast the spell and as a bonus action on subsequent turns, you can move the cloud up to 30 feet and cause one of the following effects.
- Barrier Cloud. The cloud forms a barrier between you and a creature you choose until you give it a different command. The cloud moves to stay between you and the target, providing you with half cover against the target. The target can move through the cloud unimpeded if its Strength score is equal to or greater than that of the cloud. If the target's Strength score is less than that of the cloud, it treats the cloud as difficult terrain.
- Churning Cloud. You can command the cloud to expend its magic, enhancing the potency of the exploding earth class feature and ending the spell. Creatures within the cloud it suffer disadvantage to their saving throws against exploding earth until the end of your next turn.
- Propelling Cloud. You can command the cloud to expend its magic, enhancing the range of the exploding earth class feature. You can affect creatures flying up to 15 feet above the cloud with exploding earth until the end of your next turn.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher (or learn this as a 4th level or higher secret of the stone), you may use the churning cloud and propelling cloud functions of the spell each an additional time per spell slot above 3rd before the spell's magic dissipates from the exertion.

By bringing the attitude of reverence to the ordinary, I attempt to discover the sacred within the secular. Travelling the world in this manner occasionally allows me a brief glimpse into that which pervades and connects all of life.
Walking at altitude amidst the mountains - cold and fatigued, I found myself playing a mental game in the hope that it would inspire me to carry on. I was limping, getting discouraged, and that night's campsite was still another four hours away. Impressed by the grandeur of the landscape, I mumbled to myself, "The light shimmering on that rock face is God." Later the phrase, " I too am that rock face", came to me. Stumbling along, "That steep, narrow and dusty path is God" . Again another voice intoned "And I too am that dusty path." "The tiny delicate flower is God. I too am that flower."
The Hindu sacred texts speak of how each person's Inner Soul is mysteriously also the One Self . The spark of the Universal Divinity that we all share is beautifully expressed in the Nepali greeting:
I honour the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells.
I honour the place in you which is of Love, of Light, and of Peace.
When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me...
We are One.
--- Ram Das
This is an ongoing project. As I continue my journey and in turn encounter thoughts and images that I think are worthy of sharing, I will post them. All text and photographs are copyright by the author. Photographs attributed to others are identified as such. My interest is in the transformative power of travel and how mindful travel can foster psycho-spiritual growth, which in turn propels us to work towards social and political change. Once we experience that we truly are our "brother's keeper", we have no choice but to create a world that reflects that value. That's the GlobalPilgrim Project.
Thanks for walking with me.

It takes a powerful team to drive any organization towards success, and powerful teams can only be created by a strong leadership and engaged members. While each member of the team brings a set of capabilities, many leaders fail to provide the right platform where those capabilities are efficiently utilized. This results in decreased employee morale and productivity.
In order to make sure every member is putting their best efforts, you need to make sure you have empowered your team. You need to make them feel appreciated and valued. Give them the right opportunities to grow individually as well as a part of the team.
Here are five things to consider on the path to empowerment:
The reason many managers fail at 'managing' is because they are obsessed with having control over everything and everyone. This leads to micromanaging employee activity and behavior to the extent where employees feel bound. Give them some air to breathe, let them retain their character, and don't force them to act and behave a certain way all the time. Studies prove that providing autonomy and freedom to work the way they want is the best way to keep employees happy and productive.
No one likes to be robbed of their due credit. Successful organizations today believe in letting their employees own their work. Reducing the number of levels through which their work passes in order to get approval is vital to empowering them with more roles and responsibilities. Studies prove that employees tend to be more proactive and productive when they know they have the freedom to claim responsibility of the final work.
Stress is productivity's arch nemesis. Unfortunately, many organizations don't realize how stressful their work environment is. Those who do, enjoy higher employee retention and productivity rates. Some of the most successful corporations today go out of their way to make sure their employees have enough stress relieving options. This includes everything from an airy office space and fun activities (massages, Taco Tuesdays, etc.) to generous retirement plans and vacation policies.

(Phaseolus vulgaris) American heirloom dating back to 1796. Highly attractive, long, wide, green, speckled pods containing pink speckled seeds. Harvested fresh or left to mature for use as a dried bean (borlotti). 18 seeds
Best use for Speckled Cranberry bean
By: Cait on 13 June 2017
This bean is best used as what's called a 'shelly', a green-shelled bean, which is a bean that's not fully dry. You need to pick the pod when it begins to turn leathery and the red streaks just begin to turn purple, that's when the seed is ripe and ready for cooking. They go dry fast after that stage so need to be picked often. You'll never find shellys at the market so best to not waste this tasty treat on dry beans that you can probably buy cheaper at the shops. As a green bean it would need to be picked very young because the pod gets tough and stringy pretty quickly.
I can't give this product any stars because it seems to always be out of stock so I've never bought it from here.

TULSA, Okla. – A former Uber driver in one Oklahoma community has been taken into custody after he was accused of raping a passenger.
Tulsa police tell KJRH that 62-year-old David Knight was working as an Uber driver when he picked up a woman at a restaurant in Tulsa.
The victim says she passed out while in the back of Knight's vehicle, but says he was supposed to take her to her house.
Instead, the victim says Knight took her to his house where he sexually assaulted her.
Officers say the victim woke up the next morning and called police. Authorities say she had bruising and evidence of sexual intercourse.
Tulsa police say they arrested Knight on Tuesday at the Tin Dog Saloon where he was playing with a band.
He was arrested on one count of first-degree rape.
Uber sent FOX 23 that following statement:
"What's been described and reported to police is a violent act no person should ever have to go through. As soon as we became aware of this report, we immediately removed this former driver's access. We are fully cooperating with the Tulsa Police Department and will continue to provide any information to them useful in their case."

"I fear, dear Marius, that either you or I have been led astray. The Legends of which you spoke claimed Showgull was a land of great Magick, perhaps even the very Wellspring of the first Magick, with a People whose blood runs with æthereal power. You know how serious I take my work, Marius: is this a jest to you? These are a barbarous People, who know little Writing and fewer Manners. They are hostile to the very Idea learned Magick. That anyone should call this a Nexus of magickal power is risible. No wonder so many Kingdoms have been eager to trade off this Place in their treaties."

Personally I would recommend using all options at the same time, since they are easy to implement and they provide interesting story tools for your character, by creating keywords for him/her/it and rewards you for acting out the personality and background of your character.
These options can be chosen individually, but some of them work better when combined. By including them all you will see, that they compliment each other, since each option covers different aspects of your character.

Ecommerce in Sweden to reach sales worth €4.6bn in 2014
Online sales in Sweden have increased by 15 percent during the second quarter of 2014. The forecast is that the ecommerce industry will be worth 42.5 billion Swedish kronor, or 4.6 billion euros, in 2014, which also represents a growth of 15 percent compared to last year.

The online sales in Sweden are developing very strong. Since the last quarter in 2011, the growth rate has been over 13 percent each quarter. During the second quarter of this year the growth rate was even 15 percent. But at the same time, more and more consumers are purchasing goods from foreign sites, the latest E-barometern shows.
This quarter's data shows that just over one in four deliveries are estimated to come from abroad. So far this increased share of foreign ecommerce purchases seems to affect mainly Swedish online retailers who sell clothing and footwear. "Finding new customers and capture the consumers' attention is critical for the continued growth of ecommerce in Sweden", the companies behind the E-barometern Q2 2014 are saying.
Fast-growing product categories in Swedish ecommerce
The growth rate for clothing and shoes have slowed this year, in relation to how it developed during the period 2011-2013. During the second quarter this year, growth was strongest for toys and other children's articles (+38%), building materials (+28%) and sports and leisure products (+16%). When looking only at the biggest product categories, it shows that growth remained strongest for consumer electronics; this product category saw its sales increased by 13 percent.
With 2 percent, the product category consisting of clothes and shoes showed, for the second consecutive quarter, a much slower growth rate than before. This is probably due to increased competition from foreign players.
Swedes love shopping online from foreign sites
The barometer also shows that 70 percent of consumers bought something online during the second quarter of 2014. Of these, 11 percent shopped online with their smartphone and 32 percent shopped online from foreign sites. It also shows that 27 percent of all ecommerce related shipments to consumers in Sweden came from abroad.
Search engines, comparison sites, friends and visits to physical stores are the most important sources for consumers when buying goods online. When only looking at the traditional advertising channels, product catalogs and promotions in the mailbox are indicated as the most important information sources.
The E-barometern is a study conducted by PostNord, in collaboration with the Svensk Digital Handel and HUI Research. It gets published quarterly and is based on a consumer survey and a business survey.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Bridgewater College wiped out an eight-point deficit in the final eight minutes of the game to force overtime and the Eagles went on to defeat Virginia Wesleyan, 81-77, Wednesday evening in ODAC women's basketball action.
The victory pushed the Eagles above the .500 mark at 6-5 overall and 2-1 in the conference.
Virginia Wesleyan (3-9, 0-3 in the ODAC) led 59-51 when Niasia Caldwell scored on a layup with 8:47 left in the fourth quarter. The score stayed that way until Rebecca Harvey worked inside for a bucket to pull the Eagles within six with 7:38 remaining.
The Eagles sliced the deficit in half to trail by three with 6:03 remaining. Nina Novosel worked the paint for a layup to make it a four-point game and then Novosel made 1-of-2 foul shots to trim the margin to 59-56.
Naeemah Morris scored for the Marlins, but Harvey hit a 3-pointer to make it a two-point game 61-59. Caldwell made 1-of-2 foul shots before a driving layup by Madison Baum inched the Eagles to within a point, 62-61, with 4:58 left to play.
After Morris made 1-of-2 at the line Bridgewater's Briana Moore scored on a layup to tie the score at 63-63, with 3:47 on the clock. Virginia Wesleyan then used buckets by Morris and Jayla Harris to open up a four-point, 67-63, advantage with 2:55 to go.
Kaitlyn Lehan worked the lane to score for Eagles, but Tiera Johnson answered with a three-point play to put the Marlins up 70-65, with 2:04 left. Harvey then knocked down a big 3-pointer and, after getting a defensive stop, Moore scored on a layup to pull the Eagles even at 70-70 with 59 seconds to play.
Caldwell missed a jumper and Novosel controlled the rebound to give the Eagles possession with 44 seconds left. After a pair of non-shooting fouls on the Marlins, the Eagles were able to hold the ball for the last shot. Moore took a step-back three just before the buzzer, but her shot hit the front of the rim as the teams headed for overtime.
With the score tied at 72-72 in OT, Moore hit a 3-pointer to give the Eagles the lead for good, 75-72, with 2:59 remaining. After Jaelyn Washington made 1-of-2 foul shots for the Marlins, Lehan hit two from the line for a 77-73 Eagles lead with 48 seconds left.
Harris was fouled while shooting a 3-pointer and the Marlins' guard made 2-of-3 at the line to make it a two-point game, 77-75, with 37 seconds showing on the clock.
Eagles' guard Sydney Carey made 1-of-2 foul shots to push the lead to three before Washington missed an inside shot for the Marlins and Baum came away with the rebound for the Eagles. Baum was fouled and made 1-of-2 free throws to push the margin to 79-75.
Virginia Wesleyan was unable to connect on its next possession and Moore pulled down the rebound and was fouled with just five seconds remaining. Moore hit both foul shots and Caldwell scored at the buzzer for the Marlins for the final 81-77 score.
The Eagles found a way to win despite being plagued by foul problems. Harvey, Lehan, jessalyn Monday and Ahlia Moone all fouled out and Baum was saddled with four fouls.
Moore had a huge night, leading the Eagles with a season-high 27 points. The junior guard hit 8-of-12 shots, including 4-of-7 from 3-point range. She also made 7-of-8 free throws. Harvey added 16 points and Lehan posted a double-double with 11 points and 10 boards. Baum just missed a double-double as she finished with nine assists and eight points. Monday also had a solid performance with seven points and nine rebounds.
Harris paced the Marlins with 19 points and Caldwell scored 14.
The Eagles return to action Saturday when they host Lynchburg College. Tip-off is set for 2:00 p.m.

Fredell Lack, an Oklahoma-born violinist and teacher who in a long international career that began in the 1940s was known for intimate interpretations of works by the Romantics, died on Aug. 20 in Houston. She was 95.
Her death was confirmed by her daughter, Ardis Eichhorn.
Ms. Lack was still a teenager when she began embarking on worldwide tours, drawing praise for her intensity and warmth of tone in concertos and sonatas by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Haydn and others.
Reviewing a recital at Town Hall in Manhattan in 1957, Ross Parmenter of The New York Times described her "secure technique, excellent rhythmic sense, a comprehending intellect, dedicated musicianship and total sincerity."
Ms. Lack attributed her introduction to the violin to good fortune.
When she was 6 and living in Tulsa, she said, her parents took her to hear a solo violinist from New Zealand named Tosca Berger. After the show they met Ms. Berger backstage. Later that night, the family's phone rang: It was Ms. Berger. Her father, who was with her on the tour, had had a heart attack, and in a panic she could not think of anyone else to call. Did Mr. Lack have a number for a doctor?
Ms. Berger stayed in Tulsa while her father recuperated and found she had little to do, so she gave Fredell violin lessons. Having begun studying the piano the year before, Fredell already knew how to read music.
She was enchanted. "I loved the sound of it, I loved the feel of it," Ms. Lack said in an interview this year with Larry Wheeler, an associate professor at the University of Houston.
When she was 10 her family moved to Houston, where she studied with the concertmaster of the Houston Symphony, Josephine Boudreaux. A year later she made her debut as a soloist, with the Tulsa Symphony.
When she was 12, her mother took her to New York to study with Louis Persinger, who had taught the prodigies Ruggiero Ricci and Yehudi Menuhin in the 1930s. She later earned a full scholarship to the Juilliard School in New York.
Ms. Lack won several competitions, and in 1951 she received the bronze Prize of Liege medallion from Queen Elisabeth of Belgium at the International Violin Competition. She made her New York recital debut at Town Hall in 1943 and played there frequently with her longtime accompanist, Albert Hirsh.
Ms. Lack was the first concertmaster of the Little Orchestra Society in New York and went on to make many recordings, including one of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, Op. 64, with the New York Philharmonic.
Approaching 30, Ms. Lack felt her career had hit a wall: Critics had begun writing that her violin was not powerful enough for playing with big orchestras. She decided she needed to graduate to a top-line instrument.
To help her find one, her father met her in New York and took her to a violin dealer, who laid out his finest instruments on a table and blindfolded her. "Now try them," he said.
"I played five notes on this violin and said, 'Oh, this is it.' It has such a rich, dark sound," she told the University of Houston Magazine in 2012.
The instrument was a Stradivarius, made in 1727, and cost $38,000. (She sold it for $5 million a few years ago.) With it, she said, she could convey the contemplative melancholy or intoxicating joy she felt each time she played.
"To me, it was like the human voice — like my voice," she said. "When I play, it's like I'm singing."
The critics began to take notice.
"Miss Lack has a firm, full-bodied technique that time has not eroded," John Rockwell wrote in The Times in 1986. "She also has solid, hearty musical instincts that, along with Mr. Hirsh's solid, deferential accompaniment, lend her interpretations a satisfying sense of command."
Her long career as a musician evolved into a long career as an educator. She was a founding faculty member of the University of Houston's school of music in 1959 and taught there for more than 50 years.
The school's resources were so limited at first that she gave lessons in a women's bathroom. Finding Houston musically undernourished as well, she helped create the nonprofit group Young Audiences and formed the Lyric Art Quartet in that city.
Her reputation as an accomplished musician was a big factor in the music school's growth. Among the students who sought her out for instruction was Frank Huang, who began studying with her when he was 10. He is now the concertmaster for the New York Philharmonic.
"She would never get mad or kick you out of your lesson if you didn't practice," Mr. Huang said in a telephone interview, "but she would be very demanding at the same time."
Ms. Lack was born in Tulsa on Feb. 19, 1922, the eldest of three children. Her father, Abraham Isaac Lack, ran a chain of auto-supply stores and helped found Congregation Emanu El, a Reform synagogue in Houston. Her mother, the former Sarah Stillman, worked as an accountant in the family business.
Ms. Lack's husband of 68 years, Dr. Ralph Eichhorn, who was chief of gastroenterology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, died in 2014.
In addition to her daughter, Ms. Lack is survived by a son, Dr. Eric Eichhorn; seven grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.
Ms. Eichorn recalled that when she and her brother were young and their mother was touring overseas, they yearned for her to come home.
"I was often lonely for her and wanted more of her," she said. "I would listen to her recording of the Mendelssohn concerto over and over again when she was gone, because I could feel her in the music. I could feel her love and her warmth inside the music."

Each week the WHM gang force themselves to watch bad movies that were better left forgotten to fuel off-the-wall tangents, inane impressions and unabashed comedic silliness. This is a comedy podcast for movie lovers that can't help but relish pure trash.
We apologize for the weird audio glitches here. We had to overcome some hiccups, but stick it out because this Mail Bag episode is absolutely outrageous!
On this very special Mail Bag, the gang is at the HeadGum East studio in Brooklyn to read some letters alongside very special guests, their significant others: Chelsea, Jenn, Amy and Sofia! Contained in this episode are sordid tales of a person following their crush to a LOTR premiere and then crying HARD at the end in front of them, a mom getting arrested in at a video store on Easter Sunday, and several outrageous stories of bathroom-related public humiliation. CAUTION: Things get gross.

scottchapmans needed a new tattoo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 43 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
This is for me to encourage my family to push for what they believe in
I want a tattoo designed around Dr Suess 'Unless'
Tied into it are the birth dates of my wife and daughters.
3 July 78, 17 Nov '02, 16 Aug '04 and 13 Dec '06. Originally I had the dates in Roman Numerals and I think I prefer this to English numerals.
I want to intertwine the belief that 'if you want change then you should be the change' into my girls.
The tattoo will go on my inner forearm from top to bottom. Approx 20 cm long and 8 cm wide I guess. I'm a 47 year old male.
It is part of a legacy I want to leave my girls and make sure they understand
Not after bright colours

Technical Paper
Combustion and Emission Characteristics of Fischer-Tropsch and Standard Diesel Fuel in a Single-Cylinder Diesel Engine
The emissions reduction of Fischer-Tropsch (FT) diesel fuel has been demonstrated in several recent publications in both laboratory engine testing and in-use vehicle testing. Reduced emission levels have been attributed to several chemical and physical characteristics of the FT fuels including reduced density, ultra-low sulfur levels, low aromatic content and high cetane rating. Some of the effects of these attributes on the combustion characteristics in diesel engines have only recently been documented. In this study, a Ricardo Proteous, single-cylinder, 4-stroke DI engine is instrumented for in-cylinder pressure measurements. The engine was run at several steady engine states at multiple timing conditions using both federal low sulfur and natural gas derived FT fuels. The emissions and performance data for each fuel at each steady state operating conditions were compared.

Remainers loathe Trump for calling Brexit 'a great thing'. Others disapprove of his reality show past, his hairstyle, his choosing Jerusalem for US embassy in Israel…
British Prime Minister Theresa May is clinging to her Chequers Deal for exiting the European Union in an effort to retain control of her idea of leaving the union. Brexiteers are adamant this does not reflect the impression she gave when she repeatedly said "Brexit means Brexit" during her 2017 Lancaster House speech. So far it is understood, the PM's DExEU plan changes very little except the name of the existing arrangements or the way they are carried out. The detailed 120-page White Paper published on Thursday was a disappointment to Leavers, as it does not mirror the Lancaster House speech. It was reported that May had shown it to Chancellor Merkel for approval before her own Cabinet, which is considered unconstitutional.
The EU's first response to the Chequers Deal was unimpressed. May has indicated flexibility, but that typically involves compromise, which will not be acceptable to those who hold the PM accountable to her 2017 manifesto promises.
Following the Checkers Summit and the principled resignations of the Brexit Secretary, the Foreign Secretary, a Parliamentary Private Secretary, an MP and of two Conservative Party Deputy Chairmen, the Prime Minister's team has pressurised ardent Leavers like Andrea Leadsom (Leader of the House of Commons and MOS) and James Cleverly (Deputy Chairman of the Tory Party) to support her; the Prime Minister is enforcing "collective responsibility" for her ideas. When these ideas have been promoted by Leavers on social media, the replies have been brutal, accusing the promoter of hypocrisy. One Conservative Association has written to Brandon Lewis, the Conservative Party Chairman: "The dissatisfaction currently being shown with the performance of Theresa May and her cabinet regarding the so-called negotiations for Brexit has reached such proportions as threat to the future of our party." The letter signs off calling for May's replacement, while there is still time to reassess the UK's position. MPs' postbags and newspaper letter pages contain more than usual sentiments of betrayal, the word used most often is capitulation. A poll on Wednesday concluded that 64% do not trust Theresa May to get UK the best possible Brexit deal and Labour are now two points ahead in the polling.
Like Minister Andrea Jenkyns before them, both Boris Johnson's and David Davis' resignation letters made it painstakingly clear they had lost confidence in the PM's intention to deliver the goals of Brexit. The Eurosceptic European Reform Group (ERG) convened their most well attended meeting ever, the chairman Jacob Rees-Mogg (JRM) and other Tory backbenchers have tabled four amendments to the half-cocked Trade Bill, which goes to Parliament on Monday. The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), which the PM relies on for her majority in Westminster, has backed one amendment, signalling they are not unconditionally committed to supporting the PM. Although JRM has said he will personally not call for a leadership challenge, the ERG's moves blatantly demonstrate that trust is irrevocably broken and intentionally weaken the PM.
Meanwhile, Gavin Barwell, the No. 10 Chief of Staff, is giving briefings soliciting the support of Liberal Democrat and Labour MPs, hoping to compensate for the lack of Conservative support on Monday. Relying on the support of the opposition benches is an unusual position for a PM to find herself in. But the opposition might see an opportunity to arrest the bill from going to Brussels and damage the PM further.
Since the resignations the key positions in government are now occupied by committed Remainers: the PM, the Chancellor, the new Foreign Secretary and the European Advisor to the PM, who many say, is the de facto Brexit Secretary, whose sobriquet is "Ollie the Commie". Although loud banging was heard on the PM's arrival at the 1922 Committee meeting, it is understood this was out of tradition, and not appreciation. The Whips are now asking MPs to withdraw their no confidence letters to Graham Brady of the 1922, as No. 10 fears the magic number of 48 that is required to force a leadership challenge is fast approaching.
What are the options for the PM? First to revisit the DExEU proposal to make it more acceptable to critics; to follow WTO rules from 29 March 2019; or move to the unpopular/unprepared for No Deal; or shamefully, No Brexit.
All this turmoil is against the backdrop of US President Donald Trump's working visit to the UK between 12 July and 15 July. Remainers loathe Trump for calling Brexit "a great thing". Other people disapprove of his reality show past, his hairstyle, his choosing Jerusalem for the US embassy in Israel, his derogatory comments about women, but mostly for his cruel family separation migration policies. The Stop Trump campaign includes a 2004 song by Green Day called "American Idiot", originally written for George W. Bush, which Trump deniers expect to reach the No 1 slot. A motley gang of thousands mustered up by Amnesty International and London Mayor Sadiq Khan humiliated the US President by flying a 20-foot giant inflatable blimp of a Trump lookalike baby in nappies above Parliament Square and marching under a banner of #BringTheNoise.
All this acrimony makes London seem immature and uncooperative. Fortunately, the President was entertained by HM the Queen at Windsor Castle and the Prime Minister at Chequers and his "friend" former Foreign Secretary/chief Brexiteer Boris Johnson somewhere off the beaten track, all of whom will have respect for the Office of President and UK's most important ally.

Many had initially thought that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp rested Liverpool's man of the moment Philippe Coutinho in Rubin Kazan this evening, but it seems as though the Brazilian is actually carrying a hamstring injury.
To read Klopp's comments on Coutinho's injury troubles, click here
After his heroics in the Reds massive win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend, it seemed entirely feasible for Klopp to have intentionally given the midfielder the night off during his side's Europa League tie, but in his post-match comments (which can be read on the link attached above) the German admitted that Coutinho is in fact not 100% fit.
This is of course great news for Alan Pardew and his players, who would make rather take on the red side of Merseyside without the likes of Coutinho in their ranks, but after seeing on the bench last night, you would assume that he will at least play some part in this Sunday's fixture if required to.
Currently unbeaten in their first six games under new boss Klopp, there is an undeniable sense of optimism beginning to permeate Anfield once again, but given our recent history with them, we will represent a very realistic threat to their unbeaten run, especially when you consider that Dwight Gayle is expected to be given the chance to lead the line once again on Sunday after his impressive performance against Louis Van Gaal's stuttering United side.
Whilst Liverpool still have a huge number of midfield options available to them ahead of the game, Coutinho would undoubtedly be one of the first names pencilled into the starting line-up if he was in fact fully fit and ready to go, leaving both Klopp and his coaches with an intriguing dilemma over who would be best to replace him with as they bid to win a fourth consecutive game under his tutelage.
Let's keep our fingers and toes crossed than Philippe continues to struggle with a niggling hamstring for a few more days at the very least. You could call it harsh, but needs must. Beyond this weekend, I wish him well, but for now, I'm praying he's forced to watch the game from the comfort of the director's box rather than the bench.

The Wool Full Bed Cover is made from 100% pure sheep's wool.
It is specially treated for Hospital conditions to help prevent pressure problems. The wool has a knitted back cloth that allows air to breathe, whereas sheepskin has a leather skin backing. Wool also has the added benefit of providing pressure care for the heels, elbows, hips, shoulders, etc.
The Wool Full Bed Pad can be easily cut with a pair of scissors to make individual pads as required. After cutting, remove the loose wool fibres by hand from the edge of the cut. Even after washing some more loose fibres will detach during the first couple of washes, but after this the wool should stabilize.
This product could be considered as the first line of defence to prevent pressure sores.
