Welcome to AquaSmart™
Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart™ clothes washer. We are very proud of this washer and trust it will serve you well for many years.
At Fisher & Paykel we aim to provide innovative products that are simple to use, ergonomic and kind to the environment. Thousands of tonnes of washing and 70 years of laundry experience have been programmed into your clothes washer to help give you the best possible performance.
Your AquaSmart™ clothes washer works differently from a conventional washer. It is a "High Efficiency" washer utilizing innovative technology to wash in less water and take great care of your clothes.
The revolutionary, super water efficient wash action of your AquaSmart™ washer means that it is no longer necessary to wash using a full bowl of water. This innovative wash action relies on maintaining a small volume of water for the wash load to ensure the best wash results. Please be aware that the water level for this model is fully automatic, with the machine 'smarts' choosing the appropriate water volume for you. This means that there is no option to select your water level.
It is important that you take the time to read these instructions carefully before you begin using your washer. Like all High Efficiency washers, a little extra care in how you sort your clothes and choose your cycle and detergent will ensure that you get the best possible wash result.
We hope you enjoy your new washer, we have certainly enjoyed designing it for you.

Knights snap up Heighington after Cronulla departure
Newcastle Knights have announced the signing of forward Chris Heighington on a one-year contract for the 2018 NRL season.
The veteran was a free agent after confirming his departure from Cronulla Sharks, where he had played since 2013.
Heighington, 35, expects to play an important role mentoring the club's young players following talks with coach Nathan Brown.
"I spoke to Browny about that and he needs me as much off the field as on the field... he actually said probably more off the field," said Heighington, who has made over 300 career NRL appearances in spells at Cronulla and Wests Tigers.
"Just to show those young guys how it's done and how to play consistent footy year in and year out."
My journey at the @cronullasharks has come to an end - what a wild 5 years! I didn't get the opportunity to thank all the fans, community, players & staff for all their support. I have met some amazing people with lifetime friendships, you know who you are. Its now time for my next journey - stay posted #notretiring
The Knights, who finished bottom of the NRL last season after winning only five of their 24 matches in the competition, have added players including Warriors veteran Jacob Lillyman and Brisbane duo Herman Ese'ese and Tautau Moga to their squad.
Four-time England international Heighington joins the likes of brotherly duo Daniel and Jacob Saifiti, Josh King, Mitch Barnett, Sione Mata'utia and Lachlan Fitzgibbon among Brown's forward options.

Procurement for the first ever European Games in Azerbaijan was like "building a small city in a patch of desert" in the space of 20 months.
Shaun Darke, head of procurement for the Baku 2015 Games, told SM his 34-strong team was responsible for purchasing everything from the venues to the make-up 2,500 athletes will be wearing at the opening ceremony on 12 June, along with organising the artists who will be performing.
Darke said because it is the first such Games he started with a blank piece of paper. "We are writing the manual, so when we get to the end of this there will be documents so the next city will have something to use as a guideline," he said.
Darke, who has a background primarily in automotive and building materials, was responsible for winding down the London 2012 Olympics and in 2013 he was approached about the Baku Games, which will feature 20 sports.
Darke joined the Baku 2015 European Games Operation Committee (BEGOC) in October 2013, "just one room and me", and began planning and recruiting. He is responsible for an officially declared spend of 950 million manat (£584 million).
"In an Olympic or Commonwealth Games you would start the process probably four years out: we had 20 months so we had to sit in a dark room with a projector and look at the planning stage because that was critical," said Darke.
He split the project into six areas: sports, overlay, which includes all the additional things required for sports such as medals and flags; transport, village, as in the athletes' accommodation; technology and services, which includes everything from translation services to the design of signs.
He then appointed six managers to take care of each category, a programme manager to ensure timescales were followed, and a team of buyers, including some who had no purchasing experience.
All of them were locals, mainly from the oil and gas industry, which dominates the Azerbaijan economy. "I am the only expat in the team," said Darke.
In January 2014 work began, beginning with procuring a fibre optic network to carry TV signals from all the 20 venues to the international broadcast centre.
Darke said the biggest challenge was catering, which includes feeding 6,000 athletes and providing between 20,000 and 25,000 meals a day.
"This is the largest catering contract in Europe, if not the planet, during 2015. We've got to serve up two million meals," he said. They ended up working with a number of firms, including 16 local contractors.
The other hurdle was logistics and the challenge of getting things to the country, so the largest warehouse in Azerbaijan was built near the airport and Darke lengthened normal lead times by two to three weeks.
Darke said they set up a database of suppliers who had expressed an interest in the Games, which included 180 firms, and asked them to pre-qualify before sending out invitations to tender. Ultimately they dealt with 250 companies, of which 20 to 30 were key suppliers.
With legacy in mind, local firms were supported to enable them to supply the Games while international firms were required to use local labour and share knowledge with local companies.
"We have got to put make-up on 2,500 people on 12 June," said Darke. "We have just awarded a contract for that. We need people to cut people's hair, we need to style it. It goes from mundane things like cleaning contracts to international artists to make-up."
Darke said a resource and deals group was established early on, which includes himself and senior BEGOC staff such as the chief executive and finance director, who meet weekly to agree each and every tender.
"In the early days we were driving the different functional areas. In a Games environment, especially within 20 months, from a procurement point of view you have got to take hold of the reins and drive it because the timescales are so tight," said Darke.
The athletes village includes 1,600 apartments on a greenfield site, where 7,000 people will live, so refuse services had to be purchased, along with fuel tankers to supply the power generators.
"It's a small city really. It's like getting a patch of land in the desert and fitting out everything you can think of," said Darke.
The work Darke has done will not disappear after the Games, for much of what his team has bought will be used when F1 comes to Azerbaijan in 2016, followed by the Islamic Solidarity Games in 2017.Baku Games in numbers:20 venues65,000 people at opening/closing ceremonies1,600 apartments200,000 towels2,000 TVs2 million meals45,000 signs7,000 flags2 transport malls300 London taxis350 buses250 suppliers

... not me, not when there's legends like Fred Eaglesmith to prepare a welcome for.
FRED EAGLESMITH (band show) plus KERRI POWERS
Thursday 22nd October, 8:00pm
Prince Albert, Trafalgar St, Brighton
Tickets £8 advance (£10 on door) available from Rounder, Resident, Punker Bunker and online at http://www.wegottickets.com/event/60397
Fred Eaglesmith makes people do funny things. I've met (apparently sane) people who've spent a whole week travelling on a specially-chartered train with him, attending Fred shows every night wherever the train happened to stop. Tiring of riding the rails. he's about to take 100 or so "Fred-heads" (yes, they're really called Fred-heads!) on an ice-breaker cruise ship on The Fred Eaglesmith Atlantic Adventure. It'll sell out of course: the man inspires devotion amongst his fans.
Fred grew up in a farming family, and still runs his own farm. He runs his own record label too. After a brush with major labels, he decided to go it alone, but cheekily named his A Major Label. He's pretty much a household name in his native Canada: when Oxfam launched their Make Trade Fair campaign a few years back you could see Fred's face alongside the more internationally-recognised Bonos, Michael Stipes and Thom Yorkes (maybe Fred gave Thom some tips on releasing your own records!).
Songs? Fred's got 'em in spades – as well as 17 albums of his own, he's had tunes covered by (deep breath) MARY GAUTHIER. TOBY KEITH, COWBOY JUNKIES, KASEY CHAMBERS, RALPH STANLEY II, TODD SNIDER and DAR WILLIAMS. Songs about the real important things in life – that and trucks, trains, cars and motorbikes. And now religion: for with most recent album, Tinderbox, Fred's turning his attention to questions of faith. And what an album: it sounds like a meeting of TOM WAITS and WOODY GUTHRIE (imagine DUST BOWL BALLADS meets MULE VARIATIONS) and it is utterly fantastic. With songs titled You Can't Trust Em ('They keep taking Jesus down off the cross") and Fancy God, as well as numerous characters having their faith tested to (and beyond) the limits, you can imagine he's not writing eulogies – it's more 'opiate of the masses' in theme and is tremendously compelling stuff. Can't wait to see it rendered 'live' with a full band – Fred's first such show for us, incidentally.
Stories? To be honest, Fred could hold a crowd rapt if he'd left his guitar back in the dressing room. He's a genuinely unique presence on stage with a hatful of - by turns - hilarious and insightful stories and a brilliantly witty, skewed take on the world (as well as the room he finds himself in – at our last show, one memorable monologue resulted from his frustrated attempts to take the top off a bottle of water left for him onstage. Yes, I and many other people would pay money to watch Fred open a bottle of water. Now that's devotion. (Don't believe me? Watch the Texas Towel clip below: funny as f***!).
The Texas Towel intro to 18 Wheels:
Don't just take my word for it… here's some press for Tinderbox:
"a magnificent opus… a superb blend of organic gospel, blues and country with maverick-spirited experimentation and reinvention" - Rave
"Eaglesmith at his gritty, straightforward best. As an exploration of why people often turn to religion during difficult times and how that religion often fails in those circumstances, Tinderbox is an album of nearly limitless depth"- Slant
"Tinderbox is very much a document of this moment in time, a journal of spiritual crisis yet renewed humanity… [It's] Eaglesmith at his most down-to-earth magical" - Houston Press
"Ever heard an album where your jaw drops on first listen, then keeps sounding even better with every spin? Tinderbox is one such record. It's his most adventurous and accomplished work yet, and how many artists now on their 17th record can you say that about? It's hard to imagine a better roots-based record coming out this year" - Exclaim!
"One of his most important CDs to date. Tinderbox, from start to finish, from the lyrical quality to the production, is just plain ingenious" - Lone Star Music
Support for the evening comes from KERRI POWERS, who's just released Faith In The Shadows, which puts me in mind of nothing less than JESSE SYKES breaking into LUCINDA WILLIAMS' studio and stealing away with her band. Smoky vocals, big tremulous guitar sweeps: very good indeed. Kerri will be performing solo this evening – and on stage around 8.30pm. As ever, don't be late.

Besondere Kritik
The apartment was beautifully decorated with style. It had all amenities we needed, the beds were comfy and clean. The host was super friendly and helpful, and the check-in was flawless. The location was close to the center, on a quite busy street - so despite well isolating windows, sensitive people should chose one of the backyard-facing bedrooms. The only minor gripe we had was the exclusive use of super bright, white LED direct lighting in some of the rooms. Recommended!- Habitat Apartments reply: Dear Chris, We have enjoyed reading your review of our apartment. We keep on providing the same level of service. It was our pleasure to accommodate you and we hope to welcome you back soon. Thank you!9.7 Chris -

Shipping rates can either be separate from the asking price, or incorporated into the asking price as in the case of listings offering free shipping.
Paid Shipping
Most eBay listings with paid shipping options offer a shipping rate calculator built right into the listing, which allows shoppers to determine shipping rates through self-service.
As an alternative to the calculated shipping option, sellers can select a fixed rate for shipping which simplifies the experience for shoppers.
Free Shipping
When a seller offers free shipping, the shipping rate is included in the asking price. Listings with free shipping tend to have a higher asking price than similar listings offering paid shipping. Offering free shipping can improve eBay search ranking.
Although the word free is suggestive of a bargain, the cost to each shopper may be the same or higher than what would be offered through calculated shipping.
Free shipping represents greater convenience for shoppers and may mitigate bad buying experiences related to shipping rates to a degree.

May 29, 2014: Robert Antonacci, Senators Jose Peralta and Bill Perkins, John Kane, NYS Coalition for More Family Court Judges
May 29, 2014
Robert Antonacci the Republican nominee for State Comptroller discusses his candidacy.
Senators Jose Peralta and Bill Perkins discuss a final push for the New York State DREAM Act.
Should teams with Native American names, like the one in Washington DC, keep them? Native American activist and host of "Let's Talk Native" John Kane says, "Perhaps, if only to demonstrate the blatant evidence of the racism that Washington D.C. — the nation's capital — still holds toward Native people." Kane joins me in our Syracuse studio.
Lawmakers in Albany authorized 20 new Family Court judgeships in the state budget, but have yet to determine where those judges will serve within the state. We discuss the issue with 2 guests, Denise Krondstadt of the Fund for Modern Courts & Co-Chair, NYS Coalition for More Family Court Judges and Stephanie Gendell, Associate Executive Director of the Citizens Committee for Children and the other co-chair of the NYS Coalition for More Family Judges.◄ Back to PodCasts

A fascinator is a great alternative to a hat or headband and is usually composed of a hairband or hair clip with a delicate design attached to one side. Perfect for weddings, summer balls and other formal occasions, fascinators can be expensive, and it can often be hard to find one that is perfectly suited to your tastes and style. Rather than settle for one that's less than perfect, why not design and make one yourself? It's much easier than it might sound.
Search for design inspiration. For ideas, find a celebrity style to copy or look in fashion magazines and in stores. Wedding pictures are also a great source of inspiration. From flowers and feathers to beads and sequins, the possibilities really are endless. Drawing or sketching your design using the optional paper and pencil can also be a great help when you start to make your fascinator.
Stick together the feature aspect of your intended design using glue and your card circle as a base. Fascinators are made from a 3-D feature design attached to the side of the head. Use your imagination and be as creative as you'd like when putting your decorations together. The easiest designs are made by sticking beads, netting and feathers around a loop made from wired ribbon, but alternatives include attaching large faux flowers and miniature top hats.
Hold the design against your head to check that the proportions suit you and to make sure you are happy with the design. The best size for the fascinator design will vary from person to person, so checking in this way will allow for changes to be made before adding the design to the hairband or hair clip. It is easier to make changes at this stage, rather than waiting until the design is attached to your hairband or hair clip.
Attach your design to a hairband or clip using glue. Strong craft or embellishment glue is ideal for this job. The drying time for glue can vary by brand, so always check the glue manufacturer's instructions before application. As a general rule, it is best to leave the glued design alone for 24 hours to ensure that the glue is completely dry.
Try on your fascinator and make any necessary adjustments. Now wear it with pride and get ready for lots of compliments.
Most recent
- Don't be afraid to experiment. Remember that most mistakes can be undone.
- Leave the assembled headpiece alone as long as possible to make sure that all glue is dry before you put the design anywhere near your head. You will have to cut out any glue that sticks to your hair.

Zhao Jing: Cathay
March 12 - April 12, 2014
The inspiration for Zhao Jing's photographic series comes from nineteen classical Chinese poems translated by American poet Ezra Pound, one of the most influential poets of the 20th century. His translations, also entitled "Cathay", were published in 1915 and had a profound influence on 20th century poetry. "Cathay" spawned, among other things, the imagist movement, which helped generate a widespread interest in Asian literature and thought.
These poems, like all great literature, have the ability to transcend time and establish a deep connection to the present day. Zhao therefore relies upon her intuition when shooting and selecting images for "Cathay", only choosing images that resonate with her and the poems on a deep level. Having read the poems many times over, they have become ingrained within her; the more she revisits the poems, the more thoughts, emotions, and memories they awaken within her. The photographic process becomes more selective as one color image is matched with a black and white image to form a diptych, reflecting her interpretation of the original poems and their translations. Simple colors and low contrast images suggest the indirect and metaphorical qualities of traditional Chinese painting.
A majority of the images in "Cathay" are landscapes since when shooting the series, Zhao adheres to an important tenet of Chinese classical poetry, which is conveying emotion and indicating the poet's philosophy of life through descriptions of scenery. Using the same process, Zhao creates visual poetry by transcribing her current surroundings through the photographic lens, the majority of which were taken in Baltimore and on her travels through the United States. An exquisite convergence of west and east proves the most beautiful parts of human expression can surmount race and culture.Back to Exhibitions List

1071. Merguez Sausage Patties
Due to the popularity of merguez in France, I always thought it was French food. I kind reader of MCW corrected me that this spicy fresh sausage is of North African cuisine, specifically Morocco. It can be made using mutton or beef; and I go with lamb because of the flavor and higher fat content.

1069. Kinder Chocolate Loaf Cake
Kinder has to be the most universally childhood-associated chocolate out there, and is definitely one that can never be out-grown. Although, a sign of adulthood may come in the form of utilizing the chocolate as part of a dessert, rather than gorging on it straight out of the wrapper.

1068. Iraqi Berbine (Purslane) Stew
Berbine (purslane), is usually dismissed as a weed since it has a tendency of growing between your pavement bricks just outside. Iraqis have recognized the deliciousness of this weed and made a stew of that is definitely in my top five favorite stews (it's so hard to pick and choose favorite stews!). We also make a salad from it, but that's for another day insha Allah.

1067. Apple Chaussons
Danish pastries are simply hand-sized puff pastry topped with something sweet, be it a custard or jam or canned fruit. This is a French pastry that fits snugly in the Danish pastry department. It is a flakey, butter puff pastry pocket filled with some apple compote (applesauce).

1066. Apple Compote (Applesauce)
You know those single-portion size yogurt cups? The ones sold as a square of four pots which you would have to bend to snap off a cup. When we were kids my mother would get us these apple compots cups sold in the same way as the flavored yogurt pots, and we would love them as a treat. The habit continued all the way to my teens, when I would actually bother to read the ingredient list. What's amazing is that there was only two ingredients: apples and citric acid.

1065. Grilled Iraqi Fish
This is my dear brother in law's recipe. It is very simple, yet it is one of our absolute favorites, because it is just beyond good, and because it comes from him. May Allah reward him with the best. Anything coming from this man, you know is golden. There people who are just like that, albeit a rare trait, and he excels in every field.

1064. Microwave Egg Bagel
One minute of prep, one more minute of cooking, and you've got a hefty, satisfying, and healthy breakfast to go or stay. The bagel, actually, is completely optional. You could forgo it for a carb-free scrambled omelette breakfast that is much friendlier to the figure. The result is surprisingly fluffy and far from the expected rubbery outcome.

1063. Nice Cream Breakfast Bowl
Previously on MCW we've had a super food smoothie bowl, and an instant fruity vegan ice cream fit for breakfast. This breakfast bowl is a little bit of both. The reason why I say breakfast is because this much goodness is best eaten on an empty stomach for maximal absorption. It is however just a tasty as a snack or even for dessert.

1062. Maryam's Tacos
I discovered tacos after my mother died. Before that, we would always eat elaborate home cooked meals together, cooked by her, الله يرحمها. After her, we saw a taco package at the store and that's how we got started. We have been having these tacos for years now, and while they are not totally Mexican-authentic, they definitely are inspired by the Mexican version. This is a very fun and informal meal where each person is encouraged to assemble and customize their own wrap.

1061. Fish Burgers
I watched a food show where the chef made these sandwiches in 15 minutes. While I am not a master multitasker, not as perfectly prepared as Jamie, took almost double the time to get it done. What is so special about this recipe is that not only is it healthy, using wholesome and healthy ingredients, but it was also completely delicious.

1060. Brigadeiro Flan
This dessert is a play on the famous Brazilian brigadeiro chocolate fudge truffles. The best way I can describe it is a chocolate fudge version of the classic creme caramel. My favorite part about it is that you literally put all the ingredients in a blender, pour into the mold, and bake in a water bath.
Friday, March 3, 2017
1059. Iraqi Mushroom Burghul
This recipe is one of the coziest, simplest, comforting, and non-pretentious Iraqi meals out there. While the burghul can be cooked plain and served with the same simple farmer's salad, I added sauteed fresh mushroom because we love mushroom here on MCW. Using sauteed white desert truffles when they're in season turns it into a phenomenal dish. It is a vegetarian dish, vegan even, yet is so much more than the sum of its parts.

1058. Vine Leaf and Saffron Rice Tart
I never thought about using vine leaves for something other than dolma until quite recently. My, did stepping out of the box pay off! I made the vineleaf koftas, which immediately became a firm family favorite. This vineleaf pie, uses the vineleaves in place of a crust: over and under and completely encosing a flavorful rice filling.

Zidane Recruits Tous Bleus for CanalSat
Zinedine Zidane is hot property in sporting news, with his retirement from football, his controversial head butt in the FIFA World Cup final, and his reception of the Adidas Gold Ball. Tomorrow night Zidane provides an exclusive interview on French television channel Canal Plus, revealing his side of the story. Satellite channel, CanalSat, has featured Zidane in a FIFA World Cup television commercial, Tous Bleus. Zidane rides around a French town in a red bus, picking up people who are wearing red, white and blue. He recruits cafe patrons, water delivery men, a bride in white, and young football players. A young boy in green is stopped and instructed to remove his green top, revealing a blue shirt underneath. Finally the bus pulls up at a stadium. Passengers rush into the stadium, carrying umbrellas and balloons. Zidane stands in the middle of the field, choreographing a crowd display, arranging the words "Tous Bleus". The tagline: "CanalSat. Ce qui vous passionne est forcement sur CanalSat."

Lyrics for Open Book
You are not an open book
I can't do nothing 'bout that
But I'm worried, I'm overdrawn
What am I doing up at the witching hour?
Pick up a book, put down a book
Turn on the TV
It's 2 AM, there's nothing on
I just need something to focus on
Things are going to slide
Slide out of control
I hope that you come back
I can't eat, can't sleep
When I close my eyes
The thought of you denies
Me, the rest, and the air
That I need
The longer you are far from me
The more I drift away
I didn't see the warning signs
I was falling through the cracks
You are not
An open book
I am worn and torn
I am overdrawn

Parenting Teens: The Art of Letting Go
Having run an elementary and middle school, I've spent years observing the process of growing up. I've also supported parents in their journey each step of the way, which left me feeling like I had a keen sense of how the parent-child relationship worked.
As my own kids are now surpassing the age of my perceived expertise, I find myself seeking guidance from the parents who survived the teenage years unscathed. (If there's such a thing!) You know the saying- the cobbler's kids have no shoes…
Spring brought the first of it– the undeniable shift from child to teen. It arrived unexpectedly, furiously, with no clear warning, despite the age, and all obvious signs. (Not my child!)
My innocent child became more confident, more confrontational. More hungry, more distant. More independent, more defiant.
Gone were the nighttime snuggles and secrets.
Gone were the homework sessions completed (obediently!) with care.
Gone was my control.
Spring was turbulent. I hadn't expected the changes (really!?), so I responded with fear– a sure fire way to screw everything up.
I was hanging on to any control I had (which was not much). My relationship with my teen turned from one of my greatest joys to one that ached of loss. We were fighting, and frustrated– and nobody was backing down.
One day, lightning quick, I jolted back to reality. I was not the parent I wanted to be, nor one that I recognized. I realized that if I wanted to maintain the trust I'd worked so hard to build, I needed to grow along with my child.
I had a list of needs that were all my own, and not his.
I need to let go of control.
I need to trust the child I raised.
I need to accept that he is changing.
I need to let go of control.
I need to remember he'll come back to me.
I need to stop nagging.
I need to let go of control.
I need to let him make mistakes.
I need to support him when he falls.
I need to let go of control.
I need friends to talk to.
I need to appreciate who he's becoming.
I need to let go of control.
I need be calm.
I need to walk away when I need a break.
I need to let go of control.
In that sharp, transformative instant, I let go.
He is thirteen, and we have many years to go–but in small, comforting ways, this turmoil has rewarded us.
When I am calm, he has guidance.
When I walk away, he takes a pause.
When I support him, he has something to stand on.
When I stop nagging, he hears me.
When I trust him, he rises to the occasion.
When I accept him, he shares his world with me.
When I let go of control, we're in it together.
It may not be exactly how I planned/imagined/engineered it– but it's better than the alternative.
The following linked article inspired this post, which I've wanted to write about for a while. I wish I'd read it before the (invasion of the) body snatchers came to take my child– it's insightful, straightforward, and all-too-accurate. I imagine it wouldn't have had the same impact then as it does now–but I'm ever so glad that I read it.
Four Things To Do If You Have A Kid Going Into Middle School
Take heed– your child will change. It's going to be quick, furious, and undeniable. And it's going to be harder than you ever imagined.
Letting go is what kids are designed to do. If we do it right as parents, we're supposed to let go, too.

6977 Main St. Houston, TX 77030
The hand and upper extremity program at Shriners Hospitals for Children — Houston provides care for children with conditions that affect their hands, arms or shoulders. Some of these conditions may be present at birth (congenital). Other conditions are acquired, like hand fractures or other post-traumatic issues that may happen throughout a child's life. All can affect the way your child's hand or arm works or how it looks.
Our staff provide a multidisciplinary approach to care that combines the talents of a leading-edge team of specialists (trained in pediatrics), including hand surgeons, pediatricians, nurses, orthotists and therapists, to achieve better outcomes for your child. The Houston Shriners Hospital's hand and upper extremity program offers a wide range of services in a convenient, single location – something that is not readily available elsewhere. We have the collective experience and ability to provide continuity of care across an entire spectrum of treatment that is unique.
We offer a weekly hand clinic and three regular specialty clinics for children with neuromuscular disorders such as cerebral palsy, arthrogryposis and brachial plexus palsy.
We also have expertise in helping children and their families understand the child's condition and treatment options, and how to cope. When families face congenital, complex or lifelong conditions, or when their child is in pain, we know it can be hard. Our goal is to improve each child's abilities and quality of life.

Traveling does weird things to you. It reminds you of your past as you stand in a place that is brand new. It makes you reach out to strangers and sleep in beds that aren't your own and share rusty words with people you barely know.
It makes you write in your journal almost every day, save a leaf from a walk through Hyde Park, and press it between your books. It makes you look at yourself with a whole new gratitude.
It makes you reflect, relax, and reach into all the dusty corners of your life and shine them anew.
The above is going to sound mushy-gushy to a lot of you. But I have to share that before traveling, I don't think I was aware that there are so so so so sooooo many people in the world and so much history and that I am a very small but very necessary part of the whole puzzle. Before traveling, I knew about the United States and the very basic history of the world taught in a four month college course. Now, I meet people who have friends, partners, and family that have been directly affected by the current and past issues of our world. I see different monuments and I am reminded that there was so much before me. I hear about the government and listen to my new friends talk about taxes and rights and what they hope for. I'm constantly grateful. I'm constantly in awe that this is my life.
This past week I traveled to Dublin, Ireland, and London, England. I have a lot I can write about but I am going to try and condense it for the sake of readers with busy lives.
In Dublin, I learned that people are freaking good. There are more good ones than bad ones and I will argue to the end of the Earth that this is true. We choose to believe that people are only looking out for themselves and are self-indulgent. People like helping people. People like knowing they are appreciated. People like talking to people about things they rarely get to say out loud. And my final point, we are all people. If you have a problem with everyone you come in contact with, look inwards and reflect. I met the kindest people in Dublin. The kind of people who offer up their homes, their advice, and their sense of direction (that I was seriously lacking) for nothing at all. I ate some of the best food and cried at the Cliffs of Moher. If you ever find yourself in Dublin, book a tour and see the cliffs. Mary Oliver wrote in Long Life, "What does it mean that the earth is so beautiful? And what shall I do about it?" After reading this, I assumed she stood at the cliffs. I have no idea what to do with the Earth's beauty but I'm happy to witness it and tell about it. I was happy to stand up there with forty-something people from my bus group and stare out in awe. I think the world is so beautiful because we are supposed to allow ourselves to get lost in it for a while.
In London, I was able to reconnect with friends I made when I was in Bali, Indonesia a year and a half ago. That was the highlight of my trip. Travel connects you with people you adore almost instantly. When none of you are well-slept or showered and you all are trying to figure out a new place, you bond. For me, the people I met in Bali mark such a beautiful time in my life and they all taught me new things. The best part is, I love them outside of our time in Bali. The connections I have with them are ones I plan to keep.
I got home last night and felt pretty down about having to jump back into full days of French classes this morning. Dublin and London are both English-speaking countries which made my professor jokingly ask me why I felt the need to practice my English over the break and not my French. Let me tell you, sitting in class for five hours a day listening and trying to speak a language that isn't your own makes you want to find the founder of your primary language and hug them. I love English. I love reading it, writing it, speaking it. I love how challenging it is for me to speak French but if I am being honest, I miss English often. The only way to properly explain this is to tell you about a vivid memory of mine from kindergarten. I was five and I went to a friend's house where her mom asked if I wanted ice cream. The "ice cream" was made out of rice and skim milk with no sugar. I took a bite and watch my friend scarf her portion down. I immediately thought of Ben & Jerry's and how much my friend was missing out on in a world where there is flavors like Phish Food and Red Velvet Cake. If French and English were ice cream, French is the rice, sugarless watered down stuff I was fed at five, and English is the traditionally delicious Ben and Jerry's. Did I eat the rice cream? Yeah, it was good for me and my friend's mom was watching me closely. But it only reminded me of how good the other stuff was. That's how I feel on a daily basis when I want to use words like, "blissful", "serendipity", and "epiphany" and read books about complex things and talk about presidential candidates. Instead, my level in French right now allows me to have basic conversations about the weather, and read books that have more pictures than words.
My professor did let us watch a movie today about a woman who begins selling pot to her small town in order to stay afloat after her husband passes and only leaves money for his mistress, so I guess the rice cream isn't always bad.
Wishing you all a beautiful week. Xoxo. Here are some photos from London. I'll be sharing the ones from Dublin later this week.

Select your toddler's age in months from the timeline
Most babies lie in a head down position in the womb, but a minority lie in the breech position – referred to as bottom or feet first.
As many as one in five babies will be in the breech position at around 28 weeks, but usually around 36 weeks most have turned into the head down position.
By this stage only about 3 per cent of babies are still breeches.
A breech baby will always be the result of a baby lying in the womb feet first, but there are a few different ways they might position themselves in the position:
It can be just down to chance, but sometimes there are more obvious reasons, including:
It can make labour more difficult for various reasons including:
If a baby hasn't turned by 36 weeks it is unlikely to do so and you may be advised to have a procedure called External Cephalic Version.
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) recommends all women pregnant with breech babies at 36 weeks (apart from those with specific medical conditions) are offered a procedure called External Cephalic Version (ECV).
ECV is where an obstetrician or specially-trained midwife exerts gentle pressure on your tummy to encourage your baby to do a somersault and lie in the head down position.
It has a 50 per cent success rate – some babies just won't budge and there are others who do turn, but then turn back again.
It's a safe procedure, but there is a 0.5 per cent chance that your baby's heart rate may drop so low that they have to be delivered immediately by caesarean. For this reason ECV should always be done in a hospital which has facilities to deal with emergencies.
Is ECV suitable for everyone?
No – not in the following situations:
Current advice from the RCOG says a c-section is the safest method of delivery for the baby around the time of birth; however they also acknowledge that a caesarean has slightly higher risks.
If your baby is coming prematurely (before 37 weeks) your obstetrician should discuss the specific risks vs. benefits of a c-section or vaginal delivery with you.
This is a choice – but isn't a safe for all women. Your doctor or midwife will be able to help you decide if a vaginal delivery is something you can consider.
Any vaginal labour for a breech baby will need foetal monitoring and may need forceps to help deliver your baby's head.
You may be advised against choosing a vaginal delivery if:
Abnormalities of the uterus in pregnancy
Anaemia in pregnancy
Anaemia in pregnancy occurs when the body lacks iron or B12 and folate
Anterior Placenta
Back Pain in pregnancy
