How Therapeutic Massage Can Help Reduce Chronic Headaches
Jul 24, 2019 Wellness News
According to the Migraine Research Foundation, over 39 million Americans experience migraine-like symptoms. One of the biggest culprits is the stress and strain of everyday life. Add to this the ubiquitous nature of electronic devices and the amount of time we spend in front of screens on a daily basis. This combination of factors causes our sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) to go into over-drive, and one by-product might be the pulse-pounding headaches we know all too well.

Introduction to Macbeth. Teacher checks if students have read or know anything about Shakespeare. Background of Shakespeare explained. Students read a short summary of his life. We also looked into the types of play Shakespeare wrote, the characteristics of Elizabethan theater, and watched a documentary on The Globe theater in London. All this served for students to familiarize themselves with Shakespeare and the importance he plays in the Western canon. Familiar Shakespeare phrases were also looked at.
20.05 - 22.05.2015
Introduction to Elizabethan theater and its characteristics. Shakespeare in theater and the Globe. The importance and value of Shakespeare's works. Reading the summary of Macbeth.
In-class reading of Macbeth. Students took turn at reading, they stepped into the role of the characters and read out loud. Students truly enjoyed reading Macbeth. Important concepts, emotions and experiences were discussed throughout. Reading it together in class was a big success.
For the remainder of the unit, students engaged in discussing the themes, motifs and symbols in Macbeth. They also negaged in writing their newspaper article which elaborated on one of the main events in the play. Students also engaged in character analysis, creating their front page cover, and dramatic reading. They looked at various other forms of Shakespeare's Macbeth such as short videos, the film, and graphic novels.
This was a very good unit. Students engaged successfully in reading Macbeth and enjoyed it thoroughly. They gained a lot of knowledge and insight into Shakespeare and his play. We would need to explore the language more, but for the first time of engaging with Shakespeare, the unit was very successful. It triggered students' interest in Shakespeare and they already asked me when the next time is that we'll explore one of Shakespeare's plays.

Scores of activists marched down central London to stage a sit-in protest across from the Downing Street and call on the British government to drop support for Joseph Kabila.
The electoral process was derailed in November 2011 that brought incumbent Kabila back to power, they claimed.
"We want Kabila to go," said Hermine Kudia, an 18-year-old activist, along with her fellow-marchers who shouted the same in unity.
"We are looking for justice," Kudia said. "It's nearly impossible to march in Congo. They spray them with hot water, sometimes there is acid in it and it kills people."
The event carried several aims. Remembering those who were killed 20 years ago in Kinshasa during protests was one, said marchers. "Today the same demand for real democracy is still at the forefront of our struggle," read a flyer that was distributed.
The activists accuse the December 2011 election to have been rigged. "We are asking Kabila to step down, because he was not the one who was elected," said 29-year-old John Mulala. "We are against the election fraud in Congo."
They say opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi has been the real winner in the elections and should take the seat.
According to activists, the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo is the deadliest since the World War II, leaving more than six million dead and many more displaced.

Greek Week
Greek Week is an event that takes place every spring at Belmont. This week-long event features competitions that challenge mind and body as well as philanthropic efforts that better the Nashville community. While there is healthy competition that takes place between each of the different organizations, Greek Week also provides an opportunity for fellowship between all members of the Greek community. Events throughout the week are awarded points based on performance and attendance—the chapter with the most points at the end of the week is crowned winner of Greek Week. Two cornerstone events for Greek Week are the Greek Olympics and the Greek Day of Service. During Greek Olympics each chapter competes in athletic events such as tug of war and dodgeball to earn points. The Greek Day of Service happens on Saturday of Greek Week every year where members of each organization are given the opportunity to participate in service in the Nashville community.
Greek Sing
The culmination of Greek Week is an event called Greek Sing. Each chapter spends the months preceding Greek Week preparing a short show featuring original dances and lyrics that tell a narrative about our community. Greek Sing is usually the favorite event of the year and serves as a way for each chapter to showcase the talent within their chapter
Panhellenic Week
Panhellenic Week is a program started by the Panhellenic Executive Council in 2012 as a way to bring the Panhellenic community together. While each Greek woman is a member of a sorority, she is also a member of the Panhellenic community—Panhellenic week works on strengthening the bond between women in all sororities through philanthropic, social and academic programming.
Greek Night/Homecoming
Greek Night is an opportunity for members of the Belmont Greek Community to gather together in support of the Belmont Basketball Team(s). This night allows Greeks to come out and show how much the basketball team(s) mean to our community. A tailgate for the student body is hosted by all Greek organizations before the game.

King flights
When I say the flights of a king I mean that in the context of the pursuit of a land to offset the royalty of the pair of heirs that cultivate the void that is bare into a treasure that's rare and pure to assure a heritage.
What are titles and names and how do they become the foundational premise on which we build our identity and relationship with ourselves and those around us?
Now when I say king and queen I'm not necessarily referring to an actual royal bloodline in a kingdom somewhere but a frame of mind a state of being.
I believe that when man is in the place where he was created to be it would reflect that which we would call a king with authority power and dominion. That man was made to rule to build breakdown to share to love, to be fruitful and multiply.
And as we instinctively search for deeper meanings and more of all that is, we tend to pursue the path to uncover our potential. But a vital turning point in that happening is when the cross roads cross in the paths meet with a great plane base who brings another area of business and income into your city and gives you the necessary and desirable key into the inner workings in which you will cultivate into a harvest of seeds that will replenish the sky.
With an opening of your flights and continuation of your vacation that will carry on the memories of your trips fun and passion.

There is this saying "Everyone got their 15 minutes of fame". In my case it were 15cm. After posting my second version of the mullet dress at BurdaStyle I got an e-mail from Burda if I have this picture in higher resolution and if I would let them print it in one of the next issues of BurdaStyle maganzine in Germany. Well … yes and yes.
Once again I used the pattern from BurdaStyle 03/2012. The Dress isn't very spectacular from the front.
I used some contrasting fabric for the pockets.
It's the same fabric I used für my skirt of the Lucy outfit. To spice it up a little bit I added a panel to the back.
I wore this dress for day 29 of Me-Made-May'13. Now it's almost over (and to be honest I don't have many selfmade garments left anyway)
That was not my day … I even forgot to add the day in my hand …

Magda, have you found what you need, yet?
I did this many years ago. It is simple… the 2nd time you do it!
Exit points are simply "interrupts" that IBM supplies. You can attach programs to them, and the programs will automatically run at that point. For setting your AS/400 up to accept FTP logons, for example, the exit point is:
QIBM_QTMF_SVR_LOGON and the format you wil use is: TCPL0100.
A program inserted there can control WHO can log on, and when.
To control WHAT they can do, you use another exit point, QIBM_QTMF_SERVER_REQ and use format VLRQ0100.
My notes (from 1999) say I used the IBM TCP manual to get this info, specifically: TCP/IP manual SC41-5420-01 page I-14.
I do not know if it will allow me to post code here, it is long and complex due to the number of variables and some of them being in hex.
Write me (email@example.com) if you would like me to email you my program code.

This is a link for Add-ons for Firefox. These are programs written by users or developers that the browser knows how and when to call. The developers of Firefox designed it to allow external programs to be hooked in by users of the browser.
IBM did something similar for a lot of the TCP/IP and other server functions. (And a lot of other things.) When you connect to the FTP server for example, the server checks to see if a program has been registered to process FTP logon requests. The registered program is an 'exit program'.
Browser add-ons get an entry added to a file someplace within the browser directory structure. In your iSeries, the entry would be added to the Registration Facility. (Not always, but that's the commonly recognized object for exit points and programs.) Use WRKREGINF to review your registration facility.
To create an exit program, you need to know the parameter list that will be passed to your program and the exit protocol. To find the parameter list, you should start looking at the documentation for the server the exit program will be associated with. The protocol, the meanings of the parms and what to with them, is also there.
A FTP exit program would be structured after documentation within the File Transfer Protocol exit programs topic of the Information Center for your release.
Once registered, a server logon exit program (for example) would be called just before the server decides whether or not to accept the logon. Your exit program directly influences that decision by returning an 'accept or reject' parameter. It chooses based on examination of the input parms.
The exit program may control who can and cannot logon, where they may logon from, what times of day logons are accepted, or it might accept all logons — its purpose can be simply to write all logons to a log file or to send a message when particular logons happen. Your exit program can do whatever it is programmed to do at that point in the logon process.
It doesn't have to be a 'security' function. It's whatever you want it to be.
For the FTP server, there are two general exit points. One is just before a logon is accepted. The other is just before each transaction in a session is processed. You can control individual transactions just as you can logons. (FTP client has its own exit points.)
Most other exit programs work on similar principles.
A few issues complicate things.
Code a very simple exit program that accepts the parms and returns an 'Accept' indication. Don't have it do anything except maybe send a message to a message queue. That lets you see how the registration facility works and how the parms work. It also gives you a program that you can register and deregister in the future to check whether or not the server is stilling calling your program correctly. (Problems can happen.)

Married people in Canada cannot just file a divorce without some valid grounds. Those who are involved into this legal issue have to go through the legal process until finally granted of the petition. Canada Divorce Records can be requested by sending a formal petition to the parliament of the said country. Unlike in other places, divorce reports in Canada are obtainable by anyone as allowed by law.
With the rising statistics on divorce rate today, residents must be careful and vigilant enough towards everyone in the society. Strangers are unpredictable and can cause some serious harm on you and family. Sometimes people fall for someone who came from a miserable relationship or is simply inadequate to fulfil one's role towards his or her romantic partner. These are some points that have to be considered before committing to someone for good.
Records agencies in Canada are equipped with significant pieces of information on divorce documents that can be used for whatever uses; it may be to gather basic information or conduct in-depth research on someone for something really important. The only bottleneck though with government offices offering records services is the waiting time of the results. Usually, it takes weeks or even months before you finally acquire the files you need. Plus, the processing job on your part is complicated and at times strenuous.
However, the problem has been resolved with a solution on the Internet. Pertinent reports on Canada Divorce Records can now be stored into online databases for a much safer and quicker mean. Two versions of services are available on the web; the free and the paid ones. The commercial providers are more valuable as they provide complete and substantial detail on divorce. But, you need to ascertain that it's 100% legit with full money-back guarantee. It is indeed an effective tool to search on vital records. It is instant and simple to search on at the comfort of your own home for total privacy.

Colourpop Pinch Lippie Stix Review & Swatches
Colourpop Pinch Lippie Stix ($5) launches with the Rumer Willis x Colourpop Collection back in May and it's been laying around my collection waiting for just the right time for me to use it. And now happens to be that time as this is one of those shades that's gorgeous for Fall looks.
Pinch is kinda a weird shade for me as it's pretty tan and reminds me of of the color of, well, how do I say it without being terribly unladylike? Yeah, well I think you get the idea. I tend to avoid tan shades because they kinda make me look like rigor mortis set in. Granted, I've always wanted to be a living, breathing, full on zombie (I'm sure there's irony in that living, breathing portion) but I do tend to stay away from shades that make me look like one at least when I'm at work.
In all seriousness, the zombie look isn't one of my makeup goals so yeah, I do avoid nude or tan lips as much as possible. It's just not a shade this Muse can pull off. Some folks rock it and some folks, like me, can't rock it.
However, for some reason I can obviously take on Colourpop Pinch Lippie Stix without an issue and come out of it look normal and very un-zombie like in appearance. Not looking like a zombie level unlocked! Shoot, score, she wins!
Colourpop Pinch Lippie Stix
Colourpop Pinch Lippie Stix Swatches
Colourpop dubs Pinch as a "light pinky beige in a matte finish". Ummm I call it tan and tan and yes, tan. I don't really see any pink to the shade until I apply it and for me I think that's my own natural lip pigmentation that makes the pink come out so to speak. It applies tan but as I sit and smack my lips together I notice the shade goes dusky and turns into a very wearable shade of tan with a slightly dusky rose undertone.
Colourpop Lippie Stix in the matte finish don't always get on well with me. I find them a bit drying and never truly smooth on my lips as they seem to accentuate the natural lines on my lips and color falls into those lines. There's a fair bit of tugging and dragging during application as well since the formula isn't very creamy. I'm willing to forsake the issues with the matte shades sometimes though because the price is pretty darn right at five bucks and Pinch (and some other shades) is worth the PITA finish and dryness. This does wear for a good five hours and I didn't have issues with the color feather or trying to take a road trip around my lip line. It also doesn't flake up during that wear but it isn't moisturizing so if you're prone to dry lips beware and prep well prior to application! As far as flavor, sometimes I get a faint vanilla taste and other times I don't with Colourpop lip products! With Pinch I'm failing to smell or taste anything.
So the moral of the story is the finish isn't fab and the application isn't much better but the shade just might convince you to have a go as it is quite a lovely and very wearable nude shade for Fall looks!
Colourpop Pinch Lippie Stix is available now at colourpop.com.

Taking it back to beauty today and a little make up product in literally obsessed with. For a good year or so I've used Mac paint pots as my go-to eyeshadow base. I just find they are so much easier to use and don't leave that awful tacky feeling that some eye shadow primers can. Plus the addition of a bit of colour is just adds something extra to your eyeshadow look.
Previously I've been dedicated to the shade Soft Beige, but I've recently picked up Groundwork which has been getting a huge amount of love. Soft Beige is a great "plain" base colour that can brighten the eye area. Whereas Groundwork I'd a gorgeous muddy light brown shade, that not only works great as s base colour but can also easily be worn alone.
My favourite thing about the paint pots is they're so blendable and pretty much fool-proof. They can easily be used by anyone, even if you're not confident with eye make up like me. They last all day and prevent my shadow from creasing meaning I can head out and about and not worry about touching up. Plus a little goes a long way, I can easily see this pot lasting a good 12 months.
Have you tried any of the Mac paint pots?

For computer scientist Chenhao Tan and his team, the internet community called Change My View offered something amazing, a ready-made natural experiment that had been running for years.
All they had to do was feed it into the programs they had designed to understand the back-and-forth between human beings and then analyze the patterns the emerged. When they did that, they discovered two things: what kind of arguments are most likely to change people's minds, and what kinds of minds are most likely to be changed.
In this episode you'll hear from the co-founder of Reddit, the moderators of Change My View, and the scientists studying how people argue on the internet as we explore what it takes to change people's perspective and whether the future of our online lives is thicker filter bubbles or the whittling away of bad ideas.

What is Theta Healing?
Theta technique allows the practitioner to access their own deep meditative state of the theta brain wave making it easier to receive intuitive information about a clients health or life situation. The theta brainwave is how we access the subconscious mind. Through the client's permission we can identify and change negative belief systems that have been hampering the person their whole life and give a new loving perspective on painful relationships and situations.
It allows us to release old resentments, traumas and fears and help us change habits and patterns in our lives that have been holding us back. It's the one of the easiest ways of letting go some of the most difficult things in life. The practitioner then works with the client in transforming and changing the emotions, beliefs and energies that are contributing to their current imbalance.
Theta healing is not a religion. It is a highly effective intuitive transformation modality. These healings actually affect us on the level of our DNA. This healing modality does not ask you to compromise your spiritual or religious beliefs nor does it require you to have any particular religious or spiritual beliefs in order for it to be effective.
Releasing Negative Beliefs
During a Theta Healing session, the practitioner will identify which key beliefs are holding your physical or emotional issue in place.
This will be done intuitively and also through a process called "digging". Digging is a technique used to work down through the layers of beliefs to uncover the bottom or key belief. When a bottom belief is transformed, the beliefs stacked above it, will automatically change – like a house of cards – freeing you from limiting patterns without the need to relive past traumas.
the practitioner will determine whether you hold certain beliefs through muscle testing. This will also validate that a belief has shifted.
Muscle Testing
Your Theta Healing practitioner will use muscle testing to check for the existence of the limiting belief patterns. Muscle testing is a simple technique which is used to effectively check the subconscious mind of the client to see if the limiting belief is present.
All changes are performed only with the informed consent of the client – Theta Healing works only with this informed consent. The affirmation of 'Yes' signifies your conscious readiness to accept a new reality.
Your practitioner will create a safe and supportive space in which you can explore any area of your life where you would like to see changes take place. In addition to improving your health and well-being, you can work on anything from finding your most compatible soul mate, to unlocking your creativity, or growing your business. The possibilities are endless!

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
What evidence is there that Mr.Hyde's rooms are furnished by Dr.Jekyll?
Actually the rooms are furnished quite differently. Dr. Jekyll's room is "furnished with luxury and good taste" while the Hyde's room "bore every mark of having been recently and hurriedly ransacked". The rooms reflect both men's respective "personalities". Jekyll is a man of high society. He cares about money and appearances while Jekyll is merely concerned with indulging in his evil compulsions.

For those who ride with the wind, especially the warm winds of Florida weather, sometimes you need to feel the breeze in your hair. And if you meet certain conditions, under Florida law, you can, since motorcycle helmets are not always required.
Florida Motorcycle Equipment Law
Florida Law1 permits a person over the age of 21 to operate or ride a motorcycle without a helmet if he or she carries at least $10,000 in personal injury insurance to cover injuries that may occur as the result of a crash. In fact, the majority of states grant riders over a certain age the same choice, but according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),2 in those states with mandatory helmet laws, nearly 100 percent of riders comply with the law, but in states without mandatory helmet laws, only 50 percent of riders chose to wear a helmet.[1] This begs the question, if you suffer a severe head injury that could have been prevented or mitigated had you been wearing a helmet, how should courts determine liability after a motorcycle crash?
Injuries Resulting from Motorcycle Accidents
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports2 that traumatic brain injury contributes to approximately one-third of all injury-related deaths in the United States. Unfortunately, failure to wear an approved motorcycle helmet can contribute to the following life threatening injuries:
-Coup-Contrecoup, when the force of impact causes the brain to move within the skull;
-Tearing of the brain's nerve tissue;
-Neck and spinal injuries, which may cause paralysis.
Brain injuries can be difficult to treat and leave you with life threatening injuries or permanent disabilities; however, can you be liable for your own medical expenses if you were operating your motorcycle safely at the time of the accident?
Florida Injury Mitigation Laws
Florida itself is a "comparative fault state," meaning that even if you are the injured party, you may be held partially "at fault" for causing your own injures. Even though Florida law no longer requires riders to wear a helmet, this will not insulate you from liability. For example, a Florida jury can find that by not wearing a helmet, you were responsible for 40 percent of your injuries. This would cause a reduction in the total value of your case by 40 percent. Often such legal determinations require expert medical testimony, which can drastically increase the cost of litigation.
Contact a Qualified Florida Motorcycle Attorney to Discuss your Legal Options
Avid motorcyclists often make calculated choices not to wear a motorcycle helmet, as some believe it may increase the chance of spinal injuries. However, if you have suffered head trauma in a motorcycle accident, either the defendant or your insurance company may argue that you must bear a substantial portion of your medical expenses and damages. The Dolman Law Group is your go-to motorcycle accident firm in Clearwater, Florida. With experience handling catastrophic injuries, they understand the medical complexities necessary to advocate on behalf of your rights as a rider. Call 727-451-6900 today for a no-risk consultation.

SMTA International Conference Proceedings
Board, Package and Die Thickness Effects under Thermal Cycling ConditionsAuthor: Jean-Paul Clech
Company: EPSI Inc.
Date Published: 9/27/2015 Conference: SMTA International
Abstract: This paper presents a first-order model that enables the scaling of solder joint failure cycles for board and/or die or substrate thickness effects under thermal cycling conditions. The model also allows for the prediction of failure cycles for solder joints of double-sided, mirrored assemblies based on failure data for single-sided assemblies.

Exchanges: the Warwick Research Journal is dedicated to "the publication of high-quality work by researchers in all disciplines, including early career researchers, or those combining research with academic teaching or other professional employment. The journal welcomes articles from all academic areas, including interdisciplinary research and co-authored papers, in order to encourage intellectual exchange and debate across research communities."
Exchanges' editorial team is composed of early career researchers at the University of Warwick. The journal publishes twice a year, with calls for papers going out in April and October of each year (concurrent with the publication of each new issue of the journal). Material is published here in a variety of types, including "Exchanges' - Conversations with...," "Articles," "New Approaches to Theatre and Performance Studies," "Review Articles," and "Critical Reflections."
An examination of recent issues reveals how very broad the scope of Exchanges is. For example, there are 'Exchanges' - Conversations with... Professor Alex Callinicos, a political theorist, Professor Michael Levitt, a biophysicist, and Professor Martin Hairer, a mathematician, as well as such articles as, "'Speaking to Others' in Nancy Huston's The Goldberg Variations and Slow Emergencies," "Anorexia and Its Metaphors," "Beauty Queens and Hindu Militants: Indian Women's Negotiation with Neoliberalism and Hindu Nationalism," "A Troubling Double-Body: Roland Barthes' Relationship with Ancient Greek Mythology and Bunraku," "Hamlet, Performance and Chaotic Cultural Networks," "Myths of Male Same-Sex Love in the Art of the Italian Renaissance," and "Palestinian Refugees: A Gendered Perspective," among others.
Exchanges seems to have been designed as a vehicle for early career academics to publish their first academic articles. The journal site includes a Help with Writing section that provides links to journal publishers Taylor & Francis' online guides for writing and getting published, the Warwick Centre for Applied Linguistics online advice, campus run academic writing courses and events throughout the year at the Learning Development Centre on the University of Warwick, and, "for those writing their first article," a link to the website for Warwick's Reinvention: an International Journal of Undergraduate Research.
Librarians may want to bring Exchanges to the attention of graduate students as an initial publishing venue.

Children are a blessing and making the decision to have them is a big deal. The process in itself can be stressful and more difficult than many couples may have imagined. Conceive Plus is a product that is great product to assist couples who are looking to expand their families.
When my husband and I first decided to conceive I was constantly stressed and couldn't find the process relaxing with all the pressure on me. I felt tense and the entire process quickly became a chore for both my husband and myself. I didn't realize that there are more challenges to conceiving than just the worry of infertility. The entire process can be difficult on couples. What I learned from that experience and recommend to all my friends is to invest into a good lubricant to help the process. Conceive Plus is a great way to make things more comfortable and while it doesn't guarantee conception, it definitely helps increase your chances of getting pregnant naturally.
Conceive Plus is an over-the-counter product developed to help couples conceive whether they are struggling or not. Developed in 2008, it is now available in over 60 countries and the world's leading fertility lubricant. The best part is that there are no side effects and is a safe use for any couple looking to conceive.
Conceive Plus has truly taken into account the stress that couples can face and made life easier in the quality of their product as well as the use. Extremely simple to use it comes in pre-filled applicators as well as a multi-use tube. The applicators can be used up to 15 minutes before and then the multi-use bottle can be used with your partner.
Conceive Plus is a personal lubricant that has a controlled pH that makes it safe for sperm, embryos and the fertilization process. Unlike other lubricants, Conceive Plus contains Calcium and magnesium ions that are key in fertilization process and proven to help increase the chances of getting pregnant. When I was trying to conceive I felt nervous about using products and didn't know which brand or type of product to use. I read many reviews and while there were a lot of recommended products and lubricants, I had no idea what was considered safe and effective. Conceive Plus is recommended by hospitals, doctors and fertility clinics and is FDA cleared. With a reasonable price of only $14.90, Conceive Plus makes decisions easier. No need to worry about possible side effects or issues or having to do a lot of research with such a highly valued product.
What I have realized since I had my babies is that there are many couples who face similar or even more difficulties in attempting to get pregnant. During my time, I didn't feel comfortable discussing my experience as I had never heard anyone else express their issues. Conceive Plus has thousands of people who have shared their stories and after reading some I realized that many things I faced are normal. With this new found information, I constantly find myself recommending to friends to check out Conceive Plus for both the products and reviews to help them when they decide to expand their families.

text: The EU and US have announced travel bans and asset freezes against a number of officials from Russia and Ukraine. The moves follow Sunday's referendum in Crimea, in which officials say 97% of voters backed breaking away from Ukraine and joining Russia. The individuals targeted by the sanctions are seen as having played a key role in the referendum, which Kiev, the US and EU deem illegal. The list of names targeted by EU sanctions will not be made public until the measures go into effect, which is expected to be at the latest on Tuesday morning. The US said it had targeted seven top Russian government officials and lawmakers and four Crimea-based separatist leaders with financial sanctions for undermining "democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine". The officials include Sergei Aksyonov, the acting leader of Crimea; Dmitry Rogozin, a Russian deputy prime minister; and Valentina Matviyenko, head of the upper house of the Russian parliament.

Some young people find themselves drawn to careers that hold promise of prestige or a large salary, and often they go on to become prominent business members and leaders in their communities. Then there are those whose paths lead them to quieter careers, the kind of vocations that offer vital support to our society, but don't garner a spotlight. Rosa Angelina Coleman is one of those people. Working as a substance abuse counselor for California Human Development, she has carved a unique path to her calling by following her passion for helping others.
Known as "Angie" to family, friends and colleagues, Coleman turned 29 in August, but she is wise beyond her years. Her mother, Rosa, a native of the Jalisco region of Mexico, was only 15 years old when she had her first child, and 16 when she had her second. She knew life would be difficult raising her boys as a single parent in Mexico, so she left her young sons in the care of family, and bravely ventured to the United States by herself, planning to earn enough money to provide a good life for her children. Upon her arrival in California, she worked long hours in the vineyards picking grapes and cleaning horse stables. She sent money home, while saving as much as possible, so she could one day bring her children to the U.S.
Rosa became a U.S. resident in 1986, brought her two sons here from Mexico, and started working toward her dream to become a U.S. citizen. She learned from friends about an organization called California Human Development (CHD) and used the services offered through the Citizenship and Immigration program at CHD to attain citizenship. In 1988, she gave birth to Angie. Little did Rosa know then that CHD would someday become a cornerstone in her daughter's life.
Coleman's mother and stepfather worked from sun up to sun down to provide for their family, but wages for their manual labor was always low. Rosa gave birth to another son in 1995, and though the family couldn't afford much beyond the basics, they always had a roof over their heads, food to eat and they always supported one another. Her parents always stressed that nothing was more important than family. There were many struggles trying to make ends meet, but her parents always encouraged her and her brothers to do well in school and in life.
"I remember going to kindergarten wanting to be a lawyer," says Coleman. However, when she met with counselors in high school, she became discouraged and doubted whether she could meet the many requirements necessary to get into college. Being from a family where no one had been to college before, she didn't have anyone who could tell her the steps necessary to achieve, and pay for, higher education. She was placed into a college prep program at Elsie Allen High School, "Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs" (GEAR UP), a competitive grant program of the U.S. Department of Education that increases the number of low-income students who are prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary education. The program leaders not only helped Coleman choose the high school classes she would need to get into college, they took GEAR UP students to Sonoma State University (SSU) to spend the night in the dorms, and on college tours to give them an idea of what university life would be like.
One important piece of advice Coleman was given through GEAR UP was to volunteer in the community since colleges would value her extra-curricular experience. She was interested in helping other youth and she volunteered at a shelter for runaways. She had never been exposed to teens that lived in situations so dangerous they had to escape their own homes to find safety. Their experiences affected her deeply. Though she attended a public high school, she didn't have a typical high school experience. Her stepfather was a devoted parent, but also old-fashioned and believed a more "traditional" Mexican upbringing would be the best way to raise his stepdaughter. "I wasn't allowed to have boys call me, or do school work outside of class anywhere other than at home. I couldn't wear make-up. I had to be picked up from school by my father until my freshman year when I was finally allowed to ride the city bus," says Coleman, "However, my parents did support my volunteer work."
Angie's mother tried to be open-minded, wanting to adapt to American culture while also being respectful of her husband's desire to raise their children within the traditions of their birth country. When Coleman finally got some freedom, she started to run with a fast crowd and ended up pregnant in her senior year. She hid her pregnancy from her parents for five months because she didn't know how to share the news with them. Coleman knew that her stepfather, especially, was going to be gravely disappointed in her. The pregnancy put a strain on her relationship with him, but she managed to graduate high school, seven months pregnant at the time. Once her son was born, they managed to repair their relationship and he once again became a source of support. She gave birth to her son in October, and still had the desire to attend college, enrolling at Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) the following spring. She took night classes and worked two jobs—as a sales clerk and administrative assistant for a criminal defense attorney— to pay for childcare.
She graduated from SRJC in 2009 with two AA degrees (administration of justice and social and behavioral sciences), and two certificates ("Children in the Justice System" and "Correction.") "The attorney I worked with said that I had a way with teens. He said I didn't judge them, and [he suggested] I might do well in a job where I worked with youth," says Coleman. She continued working part-time for the attorney and also explored at-risk youth work opportunities, hoping to find an entry level position with a youth serving organization. She secured a job working the graveyard shift at R House, a residential substance abuse treatment program for foster and at-risk youth. Within three months, the team lead noticed how well Coleman was doing and began training and preparing her to take on more advanced tasks like facilitating group sessions. She was moved from the graveyard shift to the swing shift.
In 2008, Coleman began dating a childhood friend, who is now her husband, and became pregnant with her second child. In order to advance at R House, she needed a bachelor's degree but with her oldest son about to start kindergarten and a baby on the way, she needed a job with hours that would be conducive to raising a family. When her baby was six months old, once again she typed "at-risk youth" into the search engine. "The first thing I saw when I landed on the CHD website was the logo with two hands and the agency's mission to create paths and opportunities for people to rise above barriers in pursuit of better lives," says Coleman. She applied for a part-time receptionist position hoping that it might open doors for additional opportunities.
In July of 2012, Coleman became CHD's Drug-Free Treatment & Recovery receptionist. The following March, Dana Alvarez, the outpatient program director, asked Coleman if she was interested in joining the team as a certified addiction counselor. It meant that Coleman would have to spend a considerable amount of time to attain her certification. Still, Coleman jumped at the opportunity. CHD's employee training assistance program provides each employee with $500 for training, and she used these funds to help pay for costs related to her certification. She worked at her own pace, completing an internship while accumulating 2,200 online course hours by 2015. Though it was a long and laborious haul, her perseverance never waivered, and she passed her state certification tests in March of 2017. Being bilingual has been a huge plus for Coleman who facilitates separate male and female substance abuse prevention support groups for youth ages 13-17, helping them navigate away from the strong pull of addiction while they are still young. When asked what has made her successful in her job she says, "I think staying humble and authentic helps people feel comfortable. The majority of people who come into our programs are not in their best shape. They are looking for a safe space where they aren't judged. When they feel compassion, it helps them to open up. And when they're honest and sharing with me, I can do a better job helping them."
"It has been a privilege to supervise Angie through the years. Her commitment to helping people learn to improve their lives is evidenced by her day-to-day compassionate interaction with her clients, as well as her willingness to continue her education," says Alvarez. Coleman notes that the work can be extremely difficult. Addiction is well known to ruin people's lives in many ways and can devastate people from all walks of life. Without intervention, addiction often spirals out of control, causing ruined relationships, divorce, financial collapse, run-ins with the law and even death.
Coleman has seen the best and the worst of people as they fight against their addictions. "It's important to give people who are struggling with this illness the benefit of the doubt and to trust that most people want to do the right thing," says Coleman. In addition to working with teens she also works with monolingual, Spanish speaking adults. Her caseload includes a number of Hispanic men, some who have questioned her credibility, since she's not only young, but she's a woman. She's been able to overcome such doubts with her steadfast commitment and positive attitude. One 65 year old client, a Latino man told her, "There's nothing a little girl can do that would make me listen to her." Coleman validated how he felt and responded by telling him, "Just know I'm here to help you." Over time, he learned that she possessed skills and training that were helpful to his recovery. "I had to work extra hard to prove myself," says Coleman, "And he has turned out to be one of my most successful clients."
Colleague Tina Millis says, "Angie was in her early 20s when she started working in the reception. She worked at R House but she hadn't worked directly in substance abuse before, and she grew into her current counselor position by following her heart, working hard and being dedicated. She's been hugely successful as our main bilingual counselor. She knows the culture, she's passionate about helping the people she works with and she's not afraid to ask questions."
Coleman takes some of the lessons learned in her work and integrates them into to her home life. She had her fourth son in 2016, and this past summer she made his first birthday party an alcohol free event. Since it was a children's party, she didn't feel the need to serve alcohol. The change didn't go over well with some family members at first, but once she told them that she'd like to add and shape new family traditions, everyone was onboard. Coleman has returned to SRJC and started taking the final few classes needed for her to transfer to Sonoma State University. "My ultimate goal is to get a master's degree and become either a licensed clinical social worker or a marriage and family therapist. There's a big need for bilingual workers in these fields." Her oldest son, now 11, was only 18 months old when she graduated from SRJC and doesn't remember her attending college. Recently when she was getting ready for class, he asked her why she was going to school. She explained to him that it was one of her personal goals to earn a bachelor's degree. Now when she's doing her math homework and tells him it's hard, he says, "I'm proud of you Mama."
More than half a century ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson knew it would take Community Action to not only relieve the symptoms of poverty, but to cure it and, above all, to prevent it. This endeavor become known as "The War on Poverty," an effort to help end the plague of poverty in the United States. "Stories like Angie's remind us that our pasts do not define our future. California Human Development enables low income individuals of all ages, to attain skills, knowledge, and motivation to secure the opportunities needed for them to become self-sufficient. With a caring heart and encouraging hand, we can all play a role in supporting others through their greatest hardships, " says Chief Executive Officer Anita Maldonado, Ph. D. "California Human Development holds true to the promise that Community Action changes people's lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other. Angie's story is a testament of the possibilities that can happen to any individual if given opportunity and the proper tools to succeed."
What advice does Coleman have for a youth planning for the future? "There is never a reason—no matter how big the storm may feel—to give up. You can do everything you want to do." Wise words from a young woman who plans to continue making a difference in the world.
California Human Development (CHD) is a nonprofit, human services provider waging "The War on Poverty" across 31 northern California counties, including Marin,
Napa and Sonoma. Inspired to serve our state's migrant farmworkers in 1967, today CHD serves people of low income from all walks of life—giving 25,000 people a year a hand up to the American dream. CHD provides these valuable programs:
employment Assistance. Education, vocational training, paid work experience and job placement support for farmworkers and other low income individuals to help them achieve income stability.
Affordable housing. More than 500 affordable housing units provide shelter to those in need of a safe place to live.
immigration & Citizenship. Provide pathways to legal immigration and citizenship for those whose dream it is to work, live, go to school and become a contributing member of American society.
disABiLiTY services. Education, employment training, and coaching for life and work success to prepare hardworking men and women to reach their potential and enjoy happier, more independent and fulfilling live.
Drug-Free Living. Residential and outpatient treatment programs and sober living homes provide a course of action for recovery to individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.
In the United States, 62 percent of people with substance abuse issues work full time, according to a 2008 estimate by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMSA). Workplace substance abuse can affect a business in a number of ways. A Working Partners' National Conference Proceedings Report sponsored by the Department of Labor, the Small Business Administration and the Office of National Drug Control Policy, found the loss of money connected to drugs in the workplace is considerable. Here's how substance abuse impacts the bottom line for employers:
• Increase in workers compensation claims since 38 to 50 percent of all Workers Compensation claims are related to substance abuse in the workplace and substance abusers file three to five times as many workers compensation claims.
• Medical costs are 300 percent higher for substance abusers than for other workers.
• Absenteeism is higher amongst substance abusers, who are two-and-a-half times more likely to be absent eight or more days per year.
• Lost productivity is greater for substance abusers, with one third being less productive than their colleagues.
• Employee turnover is expensive, costing a business an average of $7,000 to replace a salaried worker.
There's no way to know what the precise figure of the cost of substance abuse is on businesses. SAMHSA found smaller businesses were less likely to have employees participate in drug testing programs due to the cost. People who didn't think they could abide with a drug-free workplace policy often searched for employers that didn't have a drug testing policy in place.
Only one in five human resource professionals report that their company openly and proactively deals with employee addiction issues. However, when workers with substance- use disorders get treatment, both employers and employees benefit in the following ways:
• Better employee health and lower total health-care costs over time.
• Less absenteeism.
• Improved job performance.
• Reduced costs associated with short- and long-term
disability and workers' compensation.

Some Tips For Getting Out Of The Door In The Morning
Getting out the door in the morning can be frustrating for even the savviest pharmacy technician. There are so many things to worry about in addition to making sure you look your best in the mornings. There are kids and spouses to get moving in the morning and all of this can seem quite overwhelming at times. Here are some tips to help you keep your sanity in the mornings:
- Purses and accessories. Consider keeping your accessories by the door in the morning. Put them in a decorative bowl so you can reach for your favorite pair of earrings or watch when you are rushing to get to work in the morning. Like to change your purse out often, but don't have the time to change out all of your make-up and other goodies? Put the contents of your purse in a smaller bag and then put the smaller bag in the purse you want to change out. This will save you time and a lot of effort when getting ready.
- Breakfast. Make sure you grab a bite to eat before you get dressed so you won't spill anything on your work clothes. There is nothing worse than noticing a stain on your clothes right before you walk out of the door.
- Prepare. Decide what you will wear to work the night before. Do this even if you wear a uniform to work so you will not have to stress about getting your clothes together. Also, use your hot shower as a steamer to get your white pharmacy technician coat wrinkle free.
Take the stress out of getting dressed by following the tips above. You will be glad you did and will have peace of mind that you will have gotten one more thing accomplished as part of your day.

Discover Algeria
If you are thinking about moving to Algeria, here is some basic information on its geography, population, cities, expatriate community, etc.
The Democratic Republic of Algeria, or Algeria in short, is located in the middle of North Africa. It is deemed to be very conducive towards expatriation for various reasons. Algeria is one of Africa and Arabia's biggest countries. It is surrounded by Tunisia in the North-east, Libya in the East, Nigeria and Mali in the South, Mauritania and Western Sahara in the South-west and Morocco in the West. Thus, the country is known as a major gateway over the North-African region.
The country generally attracts qualified professionals for its developed economy thanks to its numerous economic pillars as well as national and international firms operating there. Culture is another aspect to be considered during your expatriation to Algeria. You are definitely not likely to be disappointed.
Algiers is Algeria's capital city while Oran, Constantine and Annaba are its other major cities. In fact, located in the North of the Mediterranean Sea, Algiers is the Maghreb region's second major city after Casablanca in Morocco. It is also known to be Algeria's main port city thanks to its huge export center and industrial activities which are based on oil, metals and food. It also hosts the first Algerian university and an international airport.
Oran, for its part, is the country's economic, commercial, industrial, cultural and academic hub, also hosting the country's second largest port. As regard Constantine, its activities revolve around trade, industry, and crafts. It remains a key region in terms of trade and communication. Finally, Annaba hosts North-east Algeria's major port. Being the country's fourth major city, is has been submitted to an intensive urbanization for a few years. Hence, its population has known consequent growth lately. It is also a key industrial and commercial hub.
Demography and languages
As at January 2014, the Algerian population consisted of some 38.7 million inhabitants, including a large number of foreigners. Expatriates in Algeria indeed represent foreign expertise in various fields.
Classic Arab is the country's official language, but Arab Berber is recognized as the national language since 2002. In your everyday life in Algeria, you will come across people speaking Algerian Arabic and chatting in Dardja which is an Arabic dialect retaining some Berber words as well as some French, Turkish and Spanish terms.
In some regions, locals are more fluent in Berber. Note that the colonization period has strongly influenced the Algerian vocabulary. However, the government has been attempting to arabize the country since independence by recommending classic Arabic rather than Dardja and Berber.
Algeria is not only a member of the United Nations, but also of the African Union, the Non-Aligned Movement and the Arab League. In 1996, it has also joined the Petroleum Exporting Countries Organization of which it has remained an important and strategic member. Note that the country's economy mainly relies on tax revenues at some 97% on exports, 60% on tax revenues and around 35% on hydrocarbons. In short, Algeria enjoys financial and economic stability.
In 2013, the country's GDP amounted to some $ 209 billion. Unemployment rate, for its part, was at 9.7% of the active population, including 24.3% of youth.
Northern Algeria enjoys a Mediterranean climate while a desert climate prevails on the South. In general, the weather is rather sunny with variable winds in both areas. In the northern coastal regions, winter temperatures vary between 8 and 15 °C. In the Kabylia mountains, these can fall down to -7 °C. In the South, near the Sahara region, winter temperature range between 15 and 28 °C. In summer, temperatures can rise up to 40 and 45 °C against 25 to 30 °C from May to August in Northern Algeria's coastal regions.

Ear Tubes
Ear tubes are small plastic drains that are placed in the ear drums to drain fluid from the middle ear and ventilate the ears. This procedure reduces pressure and discomfort in the ears, along with improving hearing. These tubes usually last 6 to 12 months, and then fall out by themselves; then the ear drums heal shortly thereafter. Occasionally longer term tubes are inserted and may stay in place for several years.

- Always vajazzle your vajayjay in garnet red Swarovski crystals, then go to a champagne bar without wearing any underpants.
- When a one night stand asks you to keep the lights off as he undresses check his scrotum for candied sprinkles.
- If at first you don't succeed in taking his entire anaconda, try and try again.
- If you let a hunk finger you while in public, it's best to orgasm under a cocktail table when no one is looking.
- Prostitution isn't illegal in France, but ejaculating in public on a balcony out over a crowd of tourists will indeed get you arrested.
- When paying good money to import a butler from Russia, particularly one named Díma Revva, make sure he can cook something other than just Holodets for dinner.
- Never buy a workout package of private home lessons from Gilad Oseary, a gorgeous Middle Eastern Pilates instructor. The last thing he'll do with you is work out.
- Avoid pinching pennies by using an expired moisturizer that you've stolen from your plastic surgeon's office. The karma will cost you more than a good complexion.
- Always pay for your own travel accommodations when going to the Cannes Film Festival. Any attempt to secure free tickets by blackmailing airline officials with photos of them wearing your corsets is bound to blow-up in your face.
- If Mr. Kim Lee, your male nail technician, expects a bigger than average tip for his pedicure, he'd better be prepared to do a lot more than buff your toes. Especially when you've just attended a BDSM workshop with Madam Queen Dick Dupree and are ramped up for a fucking good time.
- Spying out your office window at the people in the high-rise next to you with best friends Vive and Blake should only be done while drinking Bloody Mary's and using binoculars.
- Virgin Mormons make the best personal assistants. They are never hung over at work nor will they steal your Manolo Blahniks. But they may become naturally curious and ask to borrow your porn collection.
- Having a reality TV star as a PR client can be annoying, especially when she thinks she can not only design handbags and make jewelry but also record a pop album.
- Masturbating to NFL player fantasies is best done on an elliptical next to your desk while wearing Lululemon stretch pants.
- Just because you own the high-rise that your company is in, doesn't give you the liberty to smoke indoors.
- When you're sleeping alone waiting for his call, it's alright to use your four Shih Tzus as loveable fur pillows.
- Don't look away while making love to Warner Truman. He wants your eyes meeting his and his hands on your heart.
- Love may be unconditional, but if your parents drop you off at boarding school when you're thirteen and never pick you back up, ever, it's okay to tell them to go fuck themselves.
- The love you get from your friends and co-workers may be special, but it'll never compare to the love you get from the six-foot-five, anaconda-hung, hazel-eyed, close-to-trillionaire stud, you've nicknamed Big Daddy.
- The third richest man in the world is capable of saying he loves you. He just has to jet around the globe and do it in style.
The Manhattanites is an extended modern erotic romance series of full length juicy melodramas multilayered on love, friendship, and drama to the hilt. If you grew up reading Jackie Collins, Judith Krantz and Danielle Steel you will devour this series as each book may be read as a stand alone. Sex & The City fans who watch TV shows like Girls (HBO), Mistresses (ABC/BBC Drama), and The Bold & the Beautiful (CBS) love The Manhattanites series. Avery's characters are over the top. They have raunchy sex, speak their minds and always get what they want.
Content Warning: due to graphic sex scenes, strong language, suggestive themes, mature humor, and just about everything your friends ever told you not to do–including getting vajazzled, this novel is for adults only.
At thirty-three Warner Truman is one of the richest men on the planet, a spa mogul who buys and sells resorts at will. He holds powerful executive's careers in his well-groomed hands. Nothing is beyond Warner's reach…until he meets her.
Stunning, tantalizing, and perverse, Taddy Brill captivates Warner's carnal desire like no woman he's ever met. A self-made millionaire, Taddy is tougher than steel, more brilliant than diamonds and, at twenty-seven, she's never depended on a man for anything…until she meets him.
The more Taddy plays with Warner's affections, driving him to erotic heights, the more she is confronted by a dark past. But before she can love him, Taddy must meet her worst fears head-on or risk losing it all, including herself.
AVERY ASTER pens erotic romance for Ellora's Cave. As a resident of New York's Upper East Side and a graduate from New York University, Avery gives readers an inside look at the city's glitzy nightlife, socialite sexcapades and tall tales of the über-rich and ultra-famous. "I write about what I see in my metropolis that never sleeps--Manhattanites on the quest for a passionate thrill," Avery says. "By and large, my characters are drop-dead gorgeous, ripped straight from the headlines and on the hunt for their next conquest."Stalk Avery

What would possess a man to give hundreds and thousands of dollars to aspiring musicians, covering lessons, travel and even clothing to keep them in their art? What would drive a man to pay for concerts for his friends, or to spend years of his life working in behalf of a university's music department?
"Listen to this," he said urgently. "Listen to this part. This is so beautiful."
That was the answer. Peterson, who is 76, is passionate about music, but that's an understatement, so let's try again. Some men in their retirement years spend their money on golf or country clubs or travel. Peterson spends his money on music and musicians — lots of it.

Jupiter in the balance/Pluto in the goat horned one

* Coercion
* Manipulation of law
* Balance and karma
* The abuse of the legal system
* Revelations and karmic reckoning
* Judgment and depth
* Power and fairness
* Authority and checks and balances on authority
* The process of arriving at the truth about something complex
* Speaking truth to power
* The death or decline of justice
* Losing faith in fairness
* The ends justifying the means mentality
* Powerful and intense forms of growth, expansion, and blessing
* The corruption of the law
* Coverups
* The costume of decency and fairness vs the real thing
This weekend the balsamic Moon will drain out old wounds and begin moving us out of an emotionally turbulent period of time, as the Sun also moves into Leo and Mars and the Sun conjoin by next Wednesday and the Venus Saturn opposition fades.
Quite a few of my readers and also my friends have been commenting that they have felt a wide range of very intense moods and feelings lately. To validate this, we've had a badly debilitated Mars in the sign of the ever-changing Moon. Mental and emotional and physical and even spiritual exhaustion and fluctuation have been on the menu for a while now given this configuration, and the ups and downs are related to whatever the Moon is doing, as Mars has been hosted by the Moon. So the feelings of alternating and extreme emotional or mental/psychological and even physical states (if you've been experiencing them) should start to subside in the next week or so, JUST IN TIME for eclipse season and a long-standing Mercury opposite Neptune + Mercury retrograde season, + Jupiter square Pluto...the list will go on...August is a big month!
Prayer: Remind us that more than our stability, more than our perfectness, more than feeling great or getting everything right, we are asked to simply keep showing up and allowing the burn to bless us.

What could possibly be better than Steel Panther rocking out with it all hanging out on Hump Day? Speaking with numerous fans on their way to this great spectacle, it was clear there were no concerns about making it in to work the next day. When Steel Panther is in the house, you know exactly what you're going to get. Hair, spandex, metal, and mayhem would be on full display. The Fillmore in Philadelphia features some of the greatest shows on tour. Hosting the glam metal guys with passion in their thighs made this an inevitability.
Steel Panther kicks off the evening with "Goin' in the Backdoor" off their newly released album "Lower the Bar". By the reaction of fans coming in the front door, no opening song could be more appropriate. Going back to some earlier work, "Eyes of a Panther" continues to rile up the crowd. One of my biggest questions is who wouldn't want to be "Just Like Tiger Woods"? All kidding aside, since my sense of satire likely pales in comparison to Steel Panther anyway, songs old and new would kick off an amazing night.
The City of Brotherly Love decided to share some love with Rock Titan Music Television on this night of debauchery. What became immediately clear is that Steel Panther is much more than their music. These wild musicians from the sunset strip aren't only a brand as a band, but as individuals. There was overwhelming adoration for Lexxi Foxx. Whoever said Bass Players get no love? Lexxi has a harem of women in Philly ready to do his bidding. Michael Starr is clearly another fan favorite and those reasons are obvious. Starr is that quintessential Rockstar/Bad boy. While you'd like to say you never know what you're going to get, you go to see Steel Panther because you know exactly what you're going to get.

... come to an end. Hello friends! Yes, that's true, there' an end to everything, also the this great sketch series over at Ella's blog. Here's, if I got it right, the last sketch by the talented Donna Jannuzzi:
What appealed to me most was that bigger part with journaling in the top corner and title on the bottom. And I decided to use all spaces for pictures, especially that we just had another *multi* photos event. We went to Europa Park. And there were several things I realized. Like that a little paint could make my son so happy, that we would all have so much fun, and that I'd love to go back there one day...
I've added some pieces of paper here and there and the title became a bit longer. A also used stamps from myStamp Box's set Snapshot, a very useful set for any layout! :)
So, I'll miss this series of sketches but I'm sure they will come up with something cool again!

It's seeing this pendant on him that causes Ra to bring him back to life after killing him (just so he can find out how he got it, and then taunt him while wearing it: "There can be only one Ra!"). After getting it back from Ra, Daniel gives it to O'Neil, telling him to give it back to Catherine with a message: "Tell Catherine this brought me luck."
