4 Creative Ways to Get Your Veggies
Often vegetables have a stigma attached to them as being tasteless and
unpleasant to eat. Also, it can seem
like a salad is the only way to get your greens for the day. However, there are plenty of creative recipes
that incorporate vegetables to provide the nutrients you need while still
tasting delicious. The first two include
kale, one of the most nutrient rich greens, loaded with Vitamin K, Vitamin C,
calcium and 5g of fiber. Its antioxidant
content provides some protection against cancer and its fiber content aids in
lowering cholesterol. These recipes are
an easy way to deliciously incorporate kale into your diet. Try this pasta dish, Orecchiette
With Tomato Sauce and Kale recipee.
The Kale Tropical Smoothie is just one smoothie recipe with added kale. However, you can try adding kale or spinach
to any smoothie recipe. Also, one of my favorite vegetables to cook with is
eggplant because it is so versatile and can absorb any flavor you put it with. Also, eggplant not only contains good-for-you
fiber, but also phytonutrients, which act as antioxidants. This recipe includes eggplant, as well
tomatoes and protein-rich chickpeas. Try the Sweet and Sour Eggplant, Tomatoes and Chickpeas recipee!
Who says vegetables have to be a side dish? Try this delicious stuffed pepper recipe, Couscous
and Chickpea Stuffed Peppers.
These recipes are just a few ideas.
Get creative in the kitchen and try some recipes of your own or look up
other recipes online for inspiration. One
great place to start is on the Healthy UNH Video Resources webpage. The
nutrition videos can give you recipes on how to make a smoothie, a healthy
lunch and other great meals.

We work in close partnership with the Medway Council public health Team, and our work here is highly valued. We are all aware that HIV is a problem in our communities and it is having a negative impact on families.
INTRODUCTION: African clothing is the traditional clothing worn by the people of Africa. In some instances, these traditional garments have been replaced by western clothing introduced to Africans by European colonialists. (Britain) The evolution of African clothing is difficult to trace because of the lack of historical evidence. Although artefacts from Egyptian culture date back to before 3000 B.C., no similar evidence is available for most of the African continent until the mid-twentieth century. Sources from Arab culture refer to … read more

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is first and foremost a violation of girls' and women's human rights. There is no developmental, religious or health-related justification for the harmful practice.

R. Who made heaven and earth.
V. The lord be with you.
R. And also with you.
Lord Jesus Christ, head over all the faithful and savior of the human race, who has condescended to clothe Thyself with our wounded nature, we beg Thee of Thine innumerable goodness to bless + and sanctify these garments, designed in homage to the most Blessed Trinity, as well as in memory of Thy most bitter passion, and in honor of the Virgin Mother of God, under the title of the Immaculate Conception, Our Lady of Sorrows and Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.
Grant that they who may be invested therewith may deserve, through the intercession of thy Blessed Mother, likewise to clothe themselves in body and soul, with Thee, for salvation, who livest and reignest, world without end. Amen.
(The priest then sprinkles the scapulars with Holy Water) and invests each one individually holding their scapular over them (he may use one scapular for all if they don't have one) and saying the following once for all in common.
1. Receive the habit of the Order of The Most Holy Trinity unto an increase of Faith, Hope, and Charity, that you may put on the new man, created in the likeness of God, in holiness and righteousness.
2. Receive the Scapular of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, so that having laid aside the old man and put on the new, you may wear it worthily and come to Life Everlasting.
3. Receive the Scapular of the devoted clients of the Blessed Virgin Mary, conceived without sin, that by her intercession you may be cleansed from every defilement and attain Life Everlasting.
4. Receive the Scapular of the devoted Servants of Our Lady of the Seven Dolors, so that, through diligent meditation on her sorrows, you may be imbued in heart and body with the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and always remain steadfast in your devotion.
5. Receive the habit of the Society and Confraternity of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, beseeching the Most Holy Virgin, that through her merits you may wear it without stain, and be protected by her from all adversity and brought to the joys of Life Everlastng.
By the faculty delegated to me by the Holy See, I receive you as partakers of all the spiritual favors of these Orders and Congregations, as well as the Indulgences granted by privilege of the Holy See to the aforesaid Scapulars. In the name of The Father,+ and of The Son,+ and of The Holy + Spirit. R. Amen.
V. Preserve Thy Servants. R. Who trust in Thee, my God.
V. Send them aid, Lord, from on high. And from Sion watch over them.
V. Be Thou unto them a mighty fortress. R. In the face of the enemy.
V. Let the enemy be powerless against them. R. And the son of iniquity do nothing to harm them.
V. O Lord, hear my prayer. R. And let my cry come unto Thee.
V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit.
Bow down, O lord, to our supplications, and deign to bless+them on whom we have conferred the sacred habits in Thy name. May they cooperate with Thy grace, and thus deserve to attain Life Everlasting. Through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen
May the blessings of Almighty God, + Father, Son, and Holy Spirit come upon you and remain for all time.
R. Amen.
Taken from the Roman Ritual Volume II. Nihil Obstat: Stephen Anderi, Censor Librorum. Imprimatur:+Joannes P. Troacy, S.T.D. Episcopus Crossensis 18 June 1950)
In 1190, St. John of Matha, a Spaniard, was saying his first holy Mass, when he saw over the altar the figure of an angel wearing a white robe, with a blue and red cross on the breast and the shoulder. This became the habit of the order of The Holy Trinity. (White Scapular)
In 1240, the Blessed Virgin appeared to seven prominent citizens of Florence who bound themselves by vow to honor the Mother of God in her sorrows. She handed them the Black habit of the Servites and said,"...these garments shall be to you a perpetual memory of the sufferings of my heart." (Black Scapular)
In 1251, Our Lady appeared to St. Simon Stock, Holding in her hands the Brown habit of the Carmelites, she made this promise: "Whoever dies in this habit shall not suffer everlasting fire" (Brown Scapular)
In 1605, Our Lord appeared to Sr. Ursula Benincasa, and made great promises if she and her fellow nuns would adopt as their religous habit one of a light blue color in honor of the Immaculate Conception of His Mother. Sister Ursula then asked Him if He would grant similiar favors of those of the Laity or of other religous orders who would wear, in honor of the Immaculate Conception, a small Blue scapular; and Our Lord did so promise.(Blue Scapular)
In 1846, Our Blessed Lord appeared to Sr. Appoline Andriveau, showing her the red scapular of the Passion, promising that a great increase of faith, hope and charity would be reserved every Friday for those who wore the scapular. This vision was several times repeated; and the extraordinary thing about it is the rapidity with which it was approved in Rome. (Red or Passion Scapular)
These five scapulars have been approved seperately and together by the Church.The fivefold are one single devotion, approved by the Church.
Each fivefold scapular costs $13.50 which includes shipping & handling. To order fivefold scapulars via the Internet send an email to email@example.com with the subject as Fivefold Scapular Order. To order by phone call (503) 695-2468 or send us a fax at (503) 695-6408. Thank you and God Bless.

Eyewitness to the Ayers Revolution
When Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn led the domestic terrorist group Weather Underground in 1969, a chance meeting led Army veteran Larry Grathwohl into joining the group. Grathwohl served as a courier, running messages between the group's leadership (called the "Weather Bureau") and individual cells that were to carry out attacks.
Grathwohl was also an informant for the FBI.
In an interview from the 1982 documentary No Place To Hide that recently surfaced, Grathwohl discussed what the Weathermen intended to do after overthrowing the U.S. government, including what they would do with those Americans who refused to embrace communism.
I asked, "Well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?" And the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated.
And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.
And when I say "eliminate," I mean "kill."
Twenty-five million people.
I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people.
And they were dead serious.
Twenty-six years later, I caught up with Larry Grathwohl, and asked him about the Weathermen, their leaders then and now, and what he thinks about the relationship between Bill Ayers and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Pajamas Media: You stated in your interview in No Place to Hide that you wanted us to "imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people." A lot of people have now had the opportunity to listen to you, and contemplate the horrors these people planned. Can you recall who these people are by name, and who the ringleaders of this plan were?
Larry Grathwohl: Conversations regarding this occurred in Cincinnati, Detroit, Flint, and Buffalo. Participants included Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Mark Rudd, Linda Evans, Jeff Jones, and many others.
Pajamas Media: Was this merely an academic matter to them, or were they serious about killing 25 million Americans that would not bend to their political will?
Larry Grathwohl: I suppose you could consider this a purely academic discussion in that the Weathermen never had the opportunity to implement their political ends. However, I can assure you that this was not the case. There was an absolute belief that they, along with the international revolutionary movement, would cause the collapse of the United States and that they would be in charge. Nixon was of great concern and how his end would be conducted. This may sound absurd in today's context, but the Weatherman believed they would succeed.
Pajamas Media: Did they ever devise a cover story to explain to the rest of America how roughly one in ten disappeared?

Keep anti freeze away from your dogs in this cold spell
Posted by: Tim Berrisford Date: 05/02/2013 Category: Pet Health
Parts of the UK are set to see temperatures plummet yet again and some parts will see up to six inches of snow. With this cold period approaching more people will be using anti freeze in their cars. Anti-freeze is a substance used to help cars deal with the cold spells however it is dangerous to pets and could even be lethal. It contains a substance called Ethylene Glycol which can cause catastrophic damage to the kidneys and further organs.
We urge all car owners to keep anti freeze in a secure place well away from the reach of their pets and more importantly to be extra careful when filling up your car with this substance, any spillages should be cleaned up immediately to prevent any dog coming across the spillage and licking it.
The Kennel Club secretary said: "Anti-freeze can be fatal to a pet such as a dog or a cat, so we are urging people to take care when using it, even just a little spill can kill. Unfortunately, the sweet taste makes anti-freeze tempting for our pets, so it is important to take care when using anti-freeze."
If your dog has tasted anti freeze no matter how small the amount you must act quickly. Get your dog to a vet straight away and if possible try to make your dog sick as this will lessen the amount ingested into their body.
Take extra care during this cold spell and keep your dogs safe.

Anna Taylor
Property Management
Anna discovered New Zealand on a backpacking trip and loved the country so much she decided to stay. Originally from Bunbury in Western Australia, she has a science degree, a post-grad certificate in business administration and experience with recruitment for the industrial sector (mining and trades).
It's Anna's recruitment experience that makes her a natural for the property management business. She's used to working with people from all sorts of backgrounds and has excellent conflict resolution and communication skills. There are definitely parallels between matching people to jobs and finding appropriate tenants for properties. Anna's great at asking all the right questions.
Beyond work, Anna says her two main interests are dogs and chocolate... She enjoys hiking and watching live music. Her travel ambitions are focused on New Zealand and she has many tiki tours on her 'to do ' list.
"Experience has taught me that balancing the interests of all parties is pivotal to success. This is most often achieved by working with facts, demonstrating respect and practicing clear communication at all stages."

Some of our Customer Comments:
From Scott T:
Hutto, Texas
"I am in Nottingham UK now. It is the home of Robin Hood - picture attached. I rolled around Sherwood Forest for awhile yesterday. The scooter has been a tremendous help. This trip would not have been possible without it. The locals actually stop and stare at me rolling around. They love the scooter..."
From: Matthew P:
Austin, Texas
"This scooter is amazing! Thank you for delivering it so quickly!"
From: Rhonda C:
Georgetown, Texas
"Thank you, I so appreciate your help during this time. Merry Christmas! and Happy New Year all year long. Rhonda"
from Scott T:
Hutto, Texas
"The scooter was a real blessing. One day, I went from my hotel on the west side of town, past Buckingham Palace, all of the way over to the Tower of London on the east side of town (and back). It was about 6 miles in each direction. As I mentioned below, I went through Sherwood Forest and saw The Major Oak (reputed to be the meeting spot for Robin Hood and his men) on the scooter. Thankfully, the gravel path was hard packed. I did not have to cancel my trip and got to see some fantastic places because of the scooter. It was a very cool experience."

I have a current bully
She never leaves me alone
It started off all friendly
But her evilness was soon shown
It started with the judgement
"wow, you look really bad"
And slowly but surely it got worse
And for a little girl, it was just sad
A few years on
and she still stuck around
Idiot, retard, worthless, slut
You are never safe and sound
She made me cry
more than anyone had ever done
but that wasn't all
she still hadn't won
She hurt me physically
It was more than a scratch
And even when they healed
The scars would make a patch
This bully of mine,
she made my life a living nightmare
She would always be around
But never would care
She didn't feel mercy
She wouldn't let me go
Her words hurt me so much
But I couldn't say no
I have a current bully
She may be hard to see
Nobody knows who she is
because that bully is me.

Stephen Donnelly, Independent TD for Wicklow and East Carlow has raised serious concerns that changes announced in this month's Finance Bill will lead to large domestic and foreign commercial landlords operating completely tax free in Ireland.
This would lead to higher rents for families and businesses, bigger mortgages, less public money for investment in services & infrastructure and an even bigger commercial property bubble in Dublin.
It would also lead to a two-tier system in which normal Irish businesses would be paying full taxes, alongside huge foreign funds acting as landlords and paying no taxes on their profits.
Speaking today, Deputy Donnelly commented:
'Businesses all over Dublin are coming under enormous pressure because of the spiralling costs of rent. Dublin now has the second highest commercial rents in the eurozone. In fact, in all of Europe, the only cities that now have higher rents than Dublin are London, Geneva, Paris and Zurich. And not only are rents high, they're rising rapidly. In the last 2– 3 years alone they've nearly doubled.
'One of the reasons for this is tax breaks. In the last Dáil, the government created two tax deferral mechanisms for property investors – known as REITs and ICAVs. This has led to big foreign landlords pouring money into the country, to buy up commercial and residential property.
'We were told that these generous tax breaks were going to be shut down in the Finance Bill. Minister Noonan stated clearly that profits generated from economic activity in Ireland would be taxed properly. Not only has the Finance Bill not done this, it has instead created new tax rules that make commercial property investment in Ireland completely tax free. No other European country does this.
'The government is choosing to make commercial property completely tax free for landlords, in the middle of an already growing property bubble. I am calling on Minister Noonan to ensure that the bill as it is currently written is not enacted, and to ensure that commercial property is taxed in line with other businesses in Ireland.'

Converting Wine Snobs to Beer Geeks
So I had some friends over for dinner the other night. They are notorious wine snobs, you know the type. They are very nice people, and I like them a lot. But they don't drink beer, unless you count Corona, and I don't. Well, I took it as a personal challenge to help them to see beer in a new light. So I went into my beer cellar and brought out the big gun, The Stoic.
Now, if you've had this one before then you know exactly where I'm headed with this. If you haven't had it, seek it out and find it.
My wine snob friends scoff at IPAs because they are too bitter. They avoid porters and stouts because they are too dark, and therefore must have too many calories. By process of elimination, import lagers are the best beers, because squeezing lime into them makes them taste better, so they have that going for them.
I appealed to their inner snob when I emerged from my man cave with the bottle of The Stoic. I asked them plainly, "Have you ever had a Belgian Ale? Well, I bet you've never had one quite like this." I let them look over the bottle as I held it delicately, showing off the label by turning the bottle slowly while explaining that this was a "Quad". Then I removed the wrap from around the top, popped the cap, and poured a small taste into a tulip glass for each of us while reading the details from the label. That got their attention.
The Beer
Deschutes Brewery, Bend Oregon – The Stoic
Belgian-Styled Quad – 11% ABV – 20 IBU
A prized, potent, Belgian-style Quad of stirring depth and complexity.
Four nuanced fermentations. Aged, sequestered, in select rye whiskey & wine casks. Ergo a stoically brewed quad, with the spellbinding complexity of its medieval ancestors.
I first heard of Deschutes from their Imperial Stout of great fame, "The Abyss". After searching for The Abyss and coming up empty again and again, I happened to pick up a bunch of their year-round beers in the process. I think these are excellent; Black Butte Porter, Mirror Pond Pale, Inversion IPA, Obsidian Stout, etc. However, their Reserve Series are simply fantastic. I've only had a chance to enjoy a couple so far, The Stoic and Black Butte XXI, and I am always on the lookout for The Abyss. Anyway, back to The Stoic.
The Review
It pours a golden orange amber color with a fluffy head. Since I was showing off for my wine friends, I asked them to tell me what was in the nose of the beer. They swirled it around and picked out the fruity pomegranate, and banana notes, with a hint of spice. (Not too bad for wine snobs.)
Next up was the first taste. We took our sips and I smiled as they sipped and swished it around and chewed the beer. It was fun to watch. I bet they never did that with their precious Corona and lime. They said it was tangy and sweet, with a spiciness they couldn't quite place. I pointed out the woodiness from the barrel aging, and they said, "yeah, maybe that's it?" This was complex and interesting enough that it held the attention of my wine snob friends.
We all absolutely enjoyed it and were equally disappointed when we reached the bottom of the bottle so quickly. Unfortunately, I didn't have another one to open. I guess that's the problem with cellaring beers for myself versus cellaring beers to share. Looks like when I find the next batch of The Stoic available in stores, I'll be buying a few bottles.
I'm giving this one 5 beer soaked bottle caps because I think it helped me to convert a couple more folks to craft beer. It's definitely one that I'll buy again, and I'll definitely buy it as a gift for my wine friends as long as they share it with me.

Grace Upon Goodness
I'm prone to only telling 2/3 of the story.
When I get excited about something or feel any kind of urgency, I start spitting information out at rapid speed, realizing later that I left out key details.
I'm sorry I was so vague about our newest house guest.
When I started getting texts and emails from friends saying things like, "Why do you only have one of the twins?" and "Is Robert taking care of the baby, or are you?" I knew I'd left some critical information out of the equation.
Her name is Avery, and she does not belong to Robert, but it's complicated, because one of his twins is also named Avery. Life is hilarious and strange. Remember?
The family under our roof is cobbled together without a stitch of shared DNA, seven of us making our way through the day with the high hopes that we'll still be singing when the evening comes.
So far, so good.
The change happened swift but sure, her blending seamlessly into the rest of us. Cory and I get hit now and then with waves of PTSD from the last time we parented a 2 year old, because this is nothing like that. This is one million times easier. She's easy-going, funny, compliant, happy, and chill. You'll find us with a look on our faces that says, "Oh, yes. I remember this..."
That's the thing about parenting, though. The hard kids and the easy ones still occupy the same space in our hearts. Our hard baby keeps getting easier, and he's loving his new role as Big Brother, as you might imagine. Just last night he made a potty chart for her from an old Scrabble score-pad, one check for pee and two checks for poop. Naturally.
Which brings me to this observation: Parenting a toddler is SO DIFFERENT when you have smallish, able-bodied citizens ready and willing to help. Ruby has basically earned allowance for life through her eagerness to help out. The two girls share a room, and after they all pile in after school, Avery likes to cuddle with "her Wooby" on the couch.
This is hard, folks. It's just louder and wilder with extra clothes and dirty dishes and food and drop-offs and DIAPERS. There are toys (a toddler who plays with actual toys!!) but no toy room. There's sleep-related angst and so many things. Evenings usually find us hiding out in our bedroom, too exhausted to even speak actual words to each other.
But this is the good stuff.
This is the unplanned-for stuff that rocks life into an ever-sweeter spot.
We're committed to Avery and to her Mama, because we love them both dearly. We have no hopes that she'll be with us forever. Our focus is on loving her well while we have her, just as I imagine Calvin and Silas's foster families did.
For the millionth time, we beat our heads against "this is not about us". It never is, no matter how hard why try to believe otherwise.
But God wastes nothing, so regardless of how wonky life and the future may be, we've been handed a blessing today, so we hold it.
** We've dug out our very favorite kids bedtime book and Miss Avery is loving it just as Calvin and Ruby did. The cover is warped and torn, but the words inside are magic. AND the pictures! So much to look at. I take decorating cues from the homes Eloise Wilkin brings to life inside the pages. It's really the best book ever.

Eloise Wilkin! I grew up with so many books illustrated by her, and they're still my favorite to read to my kiddos! I just got so excited that someone else loves her. :)ReplyDelete
it's such a blessing when the people in your home get over themselves for a bit by focusing on the little one - we have cared for little friends from church and it's amazing how all the shenanigans of teenagers wilts away in the presence of a munchkin on whom they want to love.ReplyDelete
Love your open home, open family and open HEARTS. So worth it, even the extra laundry and less sleep! Welcome, sweet Avery! Hope her mama is alright. Love you ALL!ReplyDeleteReplies
Her Mama IS alright! Thanks for asking, friend.Delete
Just keep praying for everyone.
What a love she is. I can't stop looking at her eyelashes. My word, you could land a plane on them! So, so beautiful.ReplyDelete
Praying now for you, your family, little Avery, and her mama. xoxo
This made me cry. So thankful for you and HIS plan. And not the least bit surprised how your bigs are loving her, hate to say I told you so...;)ReplyDelete
It doesn't matter how worn and torn the covers or pages get, children's books are still my fave! It really is beautiful, this tapestry HE is creating with your lives. Don't know you, but I feel like I know you through the words you share here in this space. Thank you for sharing : )ReplyDelete
You have such a kind and big heart. Bless you for blessing so many of our lives with your example and words.ReplyDelete

Beautiful....just beautiful...ReplyDelete
Score one for the good. Blessings. Prayers. Hope.ReplyDelete
As you live the middle part of this story, just know the ending has been changed for others because of your obedience! Love you, Friend!ReplyDelete
What a sweetie! I had that same book when I was a little girl. Must have come off the ark.ReplyDelete
There ya go, melting my heart into a big puddle again, Farmgirl.ReplyDelete
I love what you said about the seven of you not sharing any DNA. When I told friends that we had a foster child and that I brought him home from school one day, they weren't surprised. They said I was always doing that whether furry or human. We adopted that little guy the next year. I admire you for knowing that she will go home again. That's why I never fostered before. With our son it was different, although we hadn't planned on being able to adopt him.ReplyDelete
Eloise Wilkins was a wonderful illustrator. Could her children be any cuter.
Little Avery is adorable.
Good luck and God Bless you for being there for this little girl and her mama. Prayers for sure.
Love this. By the way, you have a 22-year old guy who loves your blog - my son. Such a blessing for me to see how he loves your thoughts. Will be praying for your wonderful family.ReplyDeleteReplies
This wins everything.Delete
You know I have a special place for the Big Kids. :)
Thanks so much for sharing with me!
Yay for you all! What a blessing you all are to each other! Bless you all, and her mama too!ReplyDelete
What a sweet little blessing Avery is! I know she is feeling all that love you are showering her with. God bless her and her family! And I loved the Eloise Wilkins reference. My dream house will always be one I saw in one of her books as a child. Dreamy! And her little faces. One of the best illustrators!ReplyDelete

I enjoy humor, creativity, waterskiing, snowboarding, tennis, musicals, college football and hiking below the tree line. I spend too much time on social media, haven't read most of the books I own and never turn down a donut. Mornings and I co-exist, but we will never have a good relationship.
I prefer simple living and complex thinking. I would rather shop at a thrift store than a department store, a bookstore than a shoe store and anywhere other than a grocery store.
That's not true…
I would choose a grocery store over Wal-Mart.
But I digress.
I am a daughter, sister, niece, cousin, aunt and friend. I am a believer who struggles, a cynic with hope, an overwhelmed empathizer and a failing overachiever. I am designed, loved, forgiven and redeemed by a Creator who gave everything to restore our relationship and mend what I've broken.

Why Every Email Address Tells a Story (and How to Use It)
February 02, 2017
The biggest challenge facing companies isn't necessarily online fraud. Instead, it's maintaining the delicate balance between rejecting fraudsters and approving trustworthy customers.
How long have you had your email address?
If you're like most people, quite some time. According to DMA Insight's Consumer Email Tracking Study, 91% of email users have the same email address for at least three years, and 51% of email users have the same email address for over 10 years.
For many transactions, whether B2B or B2C, email is the preferred medium for customers. It's an instant form of communication that also offers compartmentalization. People are perfectly fine with receiving email statements from their bank. But nobody wants to get that sort of information via text message. They want it in their email inbox.
Here's the problem: the email address is also highly under-utilized by many companies as a key data point in an overall risk assessment strategy.
Why the email address for fraud risk assessment?
Sure, there are other methods to verify activity, such as device ID or a phone number. But, if your company operates globally, these methods have limitations.
Unlike an address, driver's license or even phone number, the email address works globally. It makes sense: is your phone number global? No, there are different carriers in different countries. How about device ID? Device changes are far more frequent than email address changes, so this approach is not really scalable.
Every time an email address is used, it leaves traces. Over a period of time, those traces add up to a multi-layered story. This story can be examined to assess the risk present in a transaction. This approach offers much less friction than other methods (such as manual review) of determining whether a transaction is a fraud, or legitimate.
In conclusion
The biggest challenge facing companies isn't necessarily online fraud. Instead, it's maintaining the delicate balance between rejecting fraudsters and approving trustworthy customers. A lot of revenue hangs in the balance.
When you stop a fraudster, that's a one-time loss. But every time you deny a perfect customer, or send them to manual review, you risk losing lifetime value.
Combine this reality with the intelligence associated with an email address over time, and it becomes clear why the email address is a critical piece of data in the fight against fraud.

Recommended For You
Alfred Bernhard Nobel was a Swedish inventor, engineer and industrialist who had obtained a total of 355 patents in his lifetime. He was most well-known for inventing dynamite, and for developing some more powerful explosives and detonators to effectively ignite them. He built a network of almost a hundred factories all over the world to manufacture explosives and ammunition, and amassed a massive fortune from his businesses. In fact, at the time of his death, he was one of the wealthiest persons on the world. Since he was unmarried and childless, there were many speculations about the contents of his last will which he had signed on 27th November, 1895. The contents of his will caused a lot of disappointment to his much hopeful extended family as Nobel had left much of his wealth for the establishment of an international prize fund! As the inventor of dynamite, he had earned the sobriquet, 'The Merchant of Death' which deeply traumatized Nobel who was a pacifist at heart. He did not want to be remembered as the reason behind mass destruction after his death, and in order to redeem his posthumous reputation, he left the major portion of his wealth for the establishment of the Nobel Prizes to be awarded for eminence in five different fields, without any discrimination on basis of nationality.
Recommended Lists:
- He was one of the eight children born to Immanuel Nobel and Karolina Andriette. Only Alfred and three of his brothers survived to adulthood while the other children perished. His father was an inventor and engineer.After unsuccessfully trying to establish a business for years, his father was finally successful in opening a business producing machine tools and explosives.Private tutors were engaged to educate Alfred and he excelled in his studies. He especially loved chemistry and languages; he was fluent in English, German, French and Russian.He studied under the chemist Nikolai Zinin and went to Paris in 1850. Such was his love for chemistry that he went to the U.S. as an 18 year old to further his knowledge on the subject. He filed his first patent—for a gas meter—in 1857.Continue Reading BelowRecommended Lists:
Recommended Lists:Later Years
- He started working in his father's factory after completing his studies. The factory came under the control of his brother Ludvig in 1859 and thrived under him. Alfred was deeply interested in studying explosives and obsessively experimented with nitroglycerine, a highly explosive compound.A tragic accident happened at the shed used for preparing nitroglycerin in which five people, including his younger brother, Emil, were killed. Nobel became more focused on developing explosives that were safer than nitroglycerin.Through constant experimenting, he found that when nitroglycerin was combined with an absorbent inert substance, it became more convenient to handle and safer to use. This new substance, dynamite, was patented in 1867 and adopted in wide usage in mining internationally. It was the first safely manageable explosive that was stronger than black powder.Continuing his fascination with nitroglycerin, he mixed it with nitrocellulose compounds and developed a transparent, jelly-like substance which was even more powerful than dynamite. It was called gelignite and patented in 1876. Gelignite was more stable and better for the purpose of mining. This invention helped him amass a great deal of wealth.His brothers became successful and wealthy businessmen exploiting oilfields along the Caspian Sea. Nobel also invested in their business and became very rich.He formulated a smokeless propellant made from nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin which also contained 10% camphor. This mixture was called ballistite and was patented in 1887.His brother Ludvig died in Cannes in 1888. Confusing him for his more famous brother, a French newspaper wrongly published the obituary of Alfred Nobel, stating that "the merchant of death is dead". Alfred was highly upset to realize that this was how he would be remembered after his death.He wanted to do something to redeem his reputation and left a major portion of his massive wealth for the creation of an international prize fund for honoring eminent personalities in the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and for work in peace. His last will, signed on 27th November 1895 laid the foundation for the prize. The first Nobel prizes were awarded in 1901.Recommended Lists:
Recommended Lists:Major Works
- He invented the explosive dynamite, which is widely used in mining, quarrying, construction and warfare. Dynamite which is produced using nitroglycerin and some other absorbent material is unstable and dangerous to manufacture. He also invented the explosives gelignite and ballistite.He laid the foundation for the formation of the Nobel Prizes by leaving a vast portion of his wealth for the establishment of an international prize fund to honor outstanding contributions in several varied fields of science and arts.Personal Life & Legacy
- He fell in love with a Russian girl called Alexandra who rejected his proposal. He later developed feelings for his secretary Bertha Kinsky with whom he had a close friendship until his death. He met Sofie Hess in 1876 and developed a relationship with her that lasted for 18 years.He never married or had children, and was a loner who suffered from bouts of depression.He loved literature from a young age and used to write poetry. His parents were opposed to his literary pursuits, so he never got his work published.Translate Wiki to Spanish, French, Hindi, Portuguese

Part of the reason you may have had trouble finding good resources on stateful firewalls is because, as Firewall.cx founder Chris Partsenidis mentions, most modern firewalls have a mix of abilities that place them in more than one firewall category.
Typically a stateful firewall associates some kind of state to each packet (IP-addresses, Port Numbers, L4-Protocol).
So it can associate a "connection" to every packet. (e.g. the well-known TCP-connection). See this article for a very good explanation. The difference between a stateful and stateless firewall, is that the stateless firewall only looks in the static information contained in the packet it is examining. As the stateful firewall memorizes a state-association to the packet, the filter can for example filter on the amount of data transferred for that TCP-connection.
If you need to understand the differences between the variety of firewalls out there, SearchNetworking's Introduction to firewall types guide is another good resource.

Wait, what? Sweet potato as breakfast? Seems a bit strange, but it definitely is not. It's a good way to start your day. Healthy and a filling breakfast, that's what you need. Well I do, so I can get through the day haha. You can also eat this as lunch of course!
And of course, if you know me, I made a sweet dish. But the taste of sweet potato and fruit is a pretty good combination, if you ask me. You can easily switch it up, but at the moment this is my favorite one. And another plus, it's quick if you use this way to make it!
Here it goes!
1 Serving
- 1 Sweet potato
- 1 Banana
- 3 tbsp Soy yogurt
- 1 tsp Cashew nut butter
- Handful Blueberries
- Granola
- Wash the sweet potato and pierce with a fork. Place in the microwave on high for about 6 min. Rotate in between. You can feel if it's soft enough, otherwise put it in for an extra minute. (If you have enough time, you can also put the sweet potato in the air fryer for 30 min on 200 degrees Celcius)
- Split the baked sweet potato open; be careful it's VERY hot! And let it cool a bit.
- Top with yogurt, banana, blueberries, granola and drizzle with cashew nut butter.
Time to eat!

The body reacts to a biological process that is not functioning correctly. If this reaction doesn't restore health, the body stays in a constant state of reaction. Internally if your body is in a constant state of reaction long enough, the reaction becomes chronic. At times this chronic reaction is to a problem that has already been solved. A body stuck in a constant reactionary state is an illness in itself. Chronic illness cannot be treated by mitigating symptoms, or the body would already have restored its internal balance. Instead, another approach to healing must be used. A focus on correcting the one or more biological process that may not be working correctly is the only way to restore balance within the processes.
Improve Your Health Today
When a body is in a condition of ineffective chronic response, treatments may not be able to interrupt the chronic reaction. This is the first step in Biological Medicine treatment. Once the reaction is interrupted, the body can then respond to treatments focused on the underlying issue.
Preparing the Body for Treatment
The unique therapies used in biological medicine stimulate the body's natural ability to heal and strengthen. It has proven immensely successful in Europe for decades to treat chronic disease and help individuals restore lost vitality.

Myths About Retiring in Colorado
If you're thinking about retirement and Colorado is on your radar, you need to consider the drawbacks as well as the advantages. Maybe you get altitude sickness and are concerned about acclimating to a high-altitude city. Maybe you really prefer the ocean to the mountains. There are reasons to think twice, but there are also a lot of myths about retirement in Colorado. Here are a few to lay to rest.
1. Colorado Has Very Harsh Winters – Some mountainous areas of Colorado do get a lot of snowfall – but there are a lot of areas, like Pueblo, that for the most part, have mild winters where the temperature rarely drops below 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Colorado Has Blistering Summers – Colorado has a lot of desert areas. Deserts get hot. Barring a heat wave, however, many parts of the state enjoy summers that rarely see the temperature go above 80 F.
3. Most of the Affordable Places in Colorado are Full of College Kids – While it's true that places like Colorado Springs and Fort Collins are college towns, they also have a lot to offer to Baby Boomers, including other retirees in increasing numbers.
4. Nothing Necessary is Close By – Many nonresidents think that when it comes to Colorado, the nice areas are far from civilization, and the services retirees need, such as medical care, are a long drive away. Granted, if you want to really get away and isolate yourself from civilization, you can pull it off in Colorado. However, you can live in a town or small city and still live close to nature. Grand Junction, overlooking Colorado National Monument, or Fort Collins in the Rocky Mountain foothills are both great examples.
5. Colorado Has Lots of Nature, But Little Culture – In addition to the state's rich cultural history, it's cities and towns offer cultural experiences, including theater, art, and symphony. Even a small affordable city like Greeley is an arts hub, thanks to its proximity to the University of Northern Colorado.
6. Altitude Issues – While it may take a little time to acclimate, living at a high altitude is not bad for you. In fact, Colorado's high-altitude regions have impressive longevity ratings, with a low rate of cardiac deaths and some cancers. However, be sure to wear sunscreen – high altitudes means higher exposure to ultraviolet rays.
Residential Construction Up in First Quarter 2015 in Denver
Residential construction contracts awarded in metro Denver are up nearly a third in the first quarter of 2015 compared with the same period a year earlier, according to a report from Dodge Data & Analytics.
Residential construction contracts, which cover single-family homes and apartments, rose 32 percent from $711.3 million in the first quarter of 2014 to $939.8 million in the first quarter of 2015.
Non-residential building construction contracts increased 16 percent, from $432.9 million to $501.8 million during the same period. That category covers a wide range of structures including office, retail, hotels, warehouses, manufacturing plants, schools and churches.
Metro Denver is bucking the national trend of flatter construction spending. Year-over-year, U.S. construction spending is up only 2 percent.
Mistakes That Decrease The Value Of Your Home
When you're getting ready to sell your home, you don't want to make any mistakes that can decrease the value of your home. However, sometimes sellers unintentionally do. That's because what a buyer sees as a mistake is not always the same as what a seller considers a mistake. But when you're selling your home, you're hoping for a meeting of the minds. Let's uncover some of the mistakes that sellers make that inadvertently potentially decrease the value of their home.
Following trends. This is a tricky one because we all can get caught up in liking design that are trendy, but if you follow a trend that quickly dies, you'll find you will not be impressing the buyers. If this trend is difficult to change, it could decrease the value when you put your home on the market. That's because buyers will think about how much money they have to put into the home to fix the trendy mistake. So, certainly make your home your style, but if you have plans to sell it in the future, think about how renovations may impact the sale of your home.
Not maintaining appliances. Yes, you most certainly can sell a home "as is" meaning in the condition that the buyers initially see it. But having lots of issues and repairs needed will decrease the home's value. Cleaning up appliances will convey the home is important. If they're completely messed up, it's worth replacing them. It should go without saying that not maintaining the entire home is a huge way to decrease its value.
Not keeping it cool. If you want buyers to hurry in and out of your home, overheat them and you're sure to have them running for the door. Make sure on hot days the home is aired out so stale air can escape. Stifling, hot, muggy homes are not fun to tour. Turn the AC on to a comfortable temperature to ensure your potential buyers take their time to really see your home. If you don't have AC and it's blazing hot, use ceiling fans and open windows. Also, having some nice cold water or lemonade available will likely encourage buyers to stay a little longer at an open house.
Not sweating the small stuff. Okay, you don't have to "sweat it", but you do have to care enough to end to even the smallest of issues such as fixing a faulty light switch or replacing burned-out bulbs. Buyers go through homes and turn on lights, flick switches, open closets, cabinets, drawers, and even look in medicine cabinets. Keep small things like these in good working order. It's easy to do and it can help lead to an overall better opinion of your home.
Going wild with color. You may like lively colors but, generally speaking, buyers like paint that is neutral. That's because it's like a blank canvas which, upon moving in, they can paint it the way they like it. Extra bright or non-traditional colors can scare them off. So opt for something other than funky purple walls and shag green carpet.
Remember, avoiding some of these mistakes can help prevent buyers from thinking your home should be worth less than you do.

Procrastination: Not Writing When You Need to Write
Monday, I wrote my to-do list for the week, updated the church blog, e-mailed my students, went to the library and had lunch. Then, I worked on chapter 1. I finished a draft by about 11:00 pm.
Tuesday, as I was checking Facebook, a message popped up. The high school needed me! I started my book outline, and then worked at school for three hours. Returning home, I had lunch (3 squares are vital!) and worked on the outline. I had a draft by about 10:30 pm.
I met my deadline with a few hours to spare in spite of my procrastinating. To overcome procrastination I have to know why I'm doing it. Most often, it is one of these four reasons.
Route not charted. Sometimes I'm not sure where I'm going with a piece of writing. If I'm writing a personal essay, it could be that the experience is too new and I need to process it first. Or maybe my editor wasn't specific enough with the parameters of the assignment. In fiction, I need to know where the story is going. To overcome this type of procrastination, I need to make some decisions or talk to my editor.
Lost my way. If I'm well into a piece and then start to procrastinate, it's often because I've taken a wrong turn. Either I've gone off topic in my nonfiction or wrote a fictional scene with my protagonist acting out of character. If I know more-or-less where the story is going and something feels off, this is often the problem. I need to spot where I made the mistake, and then I can fix things and move forward.
Too spacy to write. Writing is hard work so I may lack the energy to write. Have I taken a day off in the past week? If I'm on deadline, I may not have time to take a whole day off but I need to recharge my creative batteries. Sometimes I walk or knit. Choir practice helps. So does going out with my family or friends. After I've recharged, writing will once again be possible.
I don't want to write it. Some topics or scenes, though necessary, are brutal to write. I'm working on a book called "Black Lives Matter." My knee jerk reaction was "Of course they matter!" Still, racism and social inequality are hard to write about without standing on a soap box.
While I'm working on this, I'm going to have to guard against procrastination, keep my goal in sight and keep my creative batteries charged so that I can keep moving forward.
Why do you procrastinate?
