Revenue and Earnings: Fundamentals Based on the Operating StatementP/E ratio without studying the longer-term trend, you cannot truly appreciate the significance of the current revenue and earnings without seeing how the trend has moved over a decade.
Tracking revenue and earnings is not just a matter of making sure that the numbers rise every year. You look for true growth, meaning that the dollar value of revenues and the dollar value of net earnings both rise each year.
Referring to the two previously cited companies as examples of the trend in P/E ratio, you can also track revenue and earnings trends over the same period. Figure below summarizes the General Mills (GIS) record of the operating results for a decade.

Spinal Injury Help From a Chiropractor
If you or a loved one has recently suffered a spinal injury, it can be hard to know how to proceed. Once the major crisis has past, you may find that healing is tougher than you imagined it would be. Unfortunately, traditional Western approaches such as pharmaceuticals may not always do the trick.
Here at Kilian Chiropractic, we offer a natural alternative that uses your body's own healing abilities to speed your recovery and get you back to life as you know it as quickly as possible. If you're wondering how to proceed after a spinal injury, you can learn more about that here.
What Is a Spinal Injury?
A spinal injury may encompass a range of conditions or symptoms. Some spinal injuries simply tweak the spine, causing pain, spasms or discomfort. Other injuries may push vertebrae or discs out of alignment, rupture discs or affect the spinal cord tissue itself. When this happens, you may experience a limited range of motion, extreme pain or mild discomfort, or a complete inability to function as normal.
How Do Spinal Injuries Occur?
Most injuries occur after a traumatic accident that involves a violent blow to the spine. This may result from a violent blow or fall in sports, a car accident, an accident at the workplace involving a fall, trench collapse or machinery accident, and more.
While many spinal injuries are obvious, causing extreme distress and hospitalization, some are not immediately critical and therefore go unaddressed. This is especially common in less intense accidents. If you have noticed pain, however, it doesn't matter how traumatic the accident was; you need chiropractic help.
How Can Chiropractic Treatment Help?
Chiropractic treatment offers many benefits. It not only helps stretch and realign the spine so that discs, vertebrae and the spinal cord have time to heal, it helps mitigate pain and discomfort. Many treatments can help increase range of motion, while others stimulate your body's immune system and healing powers to assist in recovery.
Our treatments range widely, from spinal decompression to manual adjustments and manipulations to the activator method. Our experienced chiropractor will talk to you about your injury and symptoms and help create a plan that addresses your exact needs, prompts healing and returns you to life as you know it.

Thoughts on Genesis 34
Exo 22:16 "And when a man entices a maiden who is not engaged, and lies with her, he shall certainly pay the bride-price for her to be his wife.
This is the bad part about it (Genesis 34).
Shechem was being taunted by Dinah. The text speaks of her going "to visit the daughters" of the land. In that she probably told her folks that she was going to visit but her intent was to go and see the boy Shechem. He being taunted by her teasing for the last time 'took' her not to some clandestine place but to the 'ritual' and lay with her. According to his custom this was all was needed and proof of her virginity with the bloodstained sheet.
However, much more was needed for the Hebrews who were unawares of their daughters whereabouts, and who thought her (by now) dead. Hence, by the time Shechem's dad arrived to ask for her hand bringing along the brideswealth that was owed according to Jewish law the family was in mourning.
Their arrival and their pronouncement that their daughter was still alive was more than the brother's could bear. Here they were (the pagans) had dishonored them by 1) taking their sister, and 2) without their knowledge breaking the LAW OF THE MOST HIGH.
The act was not rape, it was lack of respect in honoring the custom of the Yehudim.

There's a lot of good family history information available on the Internet. Here are five places we've enjoyed visiting this week:
How to decide how much to reveal about yourself. Penelope Trunk is a no-holds-barred career advisor whose brutally candid observations on her own life make her blog a refreshing oasis in the banality-laden blogosphere. A common question people often have about their own histories is how much should they tell. Trunk's answer is emphatically simple. Hint: she doesn't believe in secrets.
Homeless Man Leaves Behind Surprise. Have you ever thought about paring back your lifestyle to its bare bones, just getting by? That's pretty much what Richard Leroy Walters did. When the homeless Walters died two years ago, National Public Radio was among those Walters entrusted with his legacy.
Our Scars Tell the Stories of Our Lives. As we go through life, our bodies get nicked up a bit through our encounters with tossed sticks, broken glass, jagged metal and other assorted instruments of destruction. We bounce back, but our bodies retain visual reminders of our past mishaps. New York Times reporter Dana Jennings believes in the storytelling power of scars.
Fire! Miriam Robbins Midkiff's entry in the recent Carnival of Genealogy about disasters is a reminder of how valuable it is when someone records the details of something important in their life. In this case, Miriam was blessed with two eyewitness accounts from totally different perspectives.
Search for family history leads to Confederate cemetery in Resaca, Ga. Glenda Byars' account of how her and her husband tracking down separate family histories led them to the same small Georgia cemetery is a darn good read.
Bonus: This is why you're fat. Fascinating in a train wreck sort of way, you may find this site mouth-watering … or disgusting. To get the full effect, spin through the archives. Bon appétit!
Larry Lehmer is a professional personal historian who helps people preserve their family histories. To learn more, visit his web site, send him an e-mail or follow him on Twitter.

- You may also be looking for the similar title, Prelate.
The First Prelate was the leader of Drayan II and the Drayan people.
In 2372, First Prelate Alcia held this position, while the USS Voyager made first contact with her species. (VOY: "Innocence")
The fact that the First Prelate seen in the episode was a descendant of a person said to have helped the Reformation occur might indicate hereditary leadership.

We have extensive experience developing acquisition strategies and overseeing the integration of multiple entities into a holding company / parent environment. At Bates Paul oversaw the aquisition of dozens of companies into the parent holding company. He developed both overarching holding company positionings and the integration and adaptation of the acquired companies as well as managing the evolving process of developing the new integrated organizational structures.
Throughout his career, Paul has been instrumental in helping companies in the throws of a merger develop their acquisition strategies and developed systems to facilitate seamless integration.
Further we have extensive expertise in the marketing communications implementation once a new brand has been acquired and needs to be integrated into the parent environment. As president of Sidewalk Designs Dawn designed and executed conversion projects for national and international brands such as Banco Popular, North Fork Bank, and Fedex – Kinkos.
At Slightly Mad we understand that it's essential to really understand the overarching corporate mission and how each aquired company brings its own personality, value and products and services. The hope at the end of the day is that the whole is made greater by the sum of its parts. It requires not only a firm understanding of valuation but also issues such as executive buy-outs, the branding implications of merged and aquired entities and thier relationship to the parent, economies of scale and of course politics.

A high speed chase in Luton ended dramatically when the car involved crashed into a wall.
The crash happened at around 1pm in Bury Park Road yesterday.
A police spokesman told Luton Today: "We were called at approximately 12pm to reports of two men who were believed to have stolen items from a supermarket in Houghton Regis and who were driving dangerously on leaving the supermarket.
"A police pursuit ensued but was called off as a precaution due to the traffic conditions. Shortly afterwards the car collided with a wall in Bury Park Road, Luton.
"No-one was injured and two people were arrested."

"Freedman is an intensely curious musical animal… who acknowledges no boundaries for what her instrument and her music can do."—The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
"Quasar are poets as much as virtuosos of their instruments."—La Presse (Montreal)
Boasting five of North America's most adventurous exponents of new music for woodwinds, this double-bill unites, for the first time, livewire clarinet soloist Lori Freedman with Quasar's stellar quartet of saxophone virtuosos—Marie-Chantal Leclair, Mathieu Leclair, André Leroux and Jean-Marc Bouchard. Freedman performs selected works from her touring solo program—playing works by Brian Ferneyhough, Richard Barrett—and teams up with Quasar for her own composition, No Man's Clan (1996/2015). Quasar will perform works by Linda Bouchard and and Ulo Krigul before a rousing finale with Freedman, performing Fred Frith's The Big Picture (2012) with guest percussionist Nava Dunkelman.
A reception will follow.
Known for their energy and bold innovation, the four members of Quasar – Marie-Chantal Leclair, Mathieu Leclair, André Leroux, Jean-Marc Bouchard – have been exploring the innumerable facets of musical creation since the group's founding in 1994. Their repertoire is vast in range, including chamber music, improvisation, musical theatre, and mixed music featuring live electronics, an area in which they are now recognized as leaders. Four-time winners of the Québec Music Council's distinguished OPUS awards, Quasar presents an annual concert series in Montréal while performing extensively across Canada, the United States and Europe.

Lori Freedman
Conspicuously described as "a musical revolutionary". Lori Freedman is known internationally as one of the most provocative and creative performers in the field of contemporary music.

In March 2009, a group of NOAA scientists and marine debris experts gathered on the shores the Potomac River to tackle a problem left ignored for the last 25 years. Abandoned during the construction of a local yacht club since the 1980's, a barge stuck in the mud poses potential environmental and navigational hazards. Yet, no one knows who left it, and no one has been able to remove it. NOAA and the Alice Ferguson Foundation have banded together to sort the problem out. This first installment traces the mounting effort through the silent perspective of the The Barge That Wouldn't Budge.

I have a few favorite dishes I like to make when I have company. They are simple, delicious, and dependable. My family does not eat mushrooms, shame really. I like the little toad stools myself. My college is in Reading, PA very close to mushroom farms, not a good place to be when the wind shifts, so mushrooms were fresh and plentiful. I often brought a few pounds home to make cream of mushroom soup for my parents. Mushrooms in Sour Cream is a wonderful accompaniment to the Chicken Bundles or any savory beef, pork, or other chicken dishes. Rice Pilaf is a family favorite and a company standby. I have made it many times and its simplicity and appeal is appreciated. I hope you enjoy these dishes as much as I.
Mushrooms in Sour Cream
6 T. butter
2 pounds sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup sliced green onion plus 2 T. more for garnish
1 t. kosher salt
1/2 t. fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
In a 12 inch skillet over med-high heat, melt butter. Add mushrooms, green onions, salt and pepper. Stir frequently until mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Take off heat and add sour cream. Stir until smooth and cream is heated through. Serve immediately. Serves 6-8.
1 Vidalia onion, diced
2 cups basmati or jasmine rice, uncooked
2 ounces vermicelli broken into 1 1/2 inch pieces
4 cups good chicken broth
Salt and pepper
In a large skillet over med-high heat melt butter. To the melted butter add onion, rice, and vermicelli. Stir frequently and cook until the rice, onions, and vermicelli are browned. (Watch closely so as not to burn the whole batch!) Add the chicken broth, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil then lower heat to medium-low and simmer covered for about 20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice tender. Remove to a large bowl and serve immediately. Serves 6-8.


text: Earthen Walls, Iron Men tells the story of Fort DeRussy, Louisiana, a major Confederate fortification that defended the lower Red River in 1863-64 during the last stages of the Civil War. Long regarded as little more than a footnote by historians, the fort in fact played a critical role in the defense of the Red River region. The Red River Campaign was one of the Confederacy's last great triumphs of the war, and only the end of the conflict saved the reputations of Union leaders who had recently been so successful at Vicksburg. Fort DeRussy was the linchpin of the Confederates' tactical and strategic victory. Steven M. Mayeux does more than just tell the story of the fort from the military perspective; it goes deeper to closely examine the lives of the people that served in - and lived around - Fort DeRussy. Through a thorough examination of local documents, Mayeux has uncovered the fascinating stories that reveal for the first time what wartime life was like for those living in central Louisiana. In this book, the reader will meet soldiers and slaves, plantation owners and Jayhawkers, elderly women and newborn babies, all of whom played important roles in making the history of Fort DeRussy. Mayeux presents an unvarnished portrait of the life at the fort, devoid of any romanticized notions, but more accurately capturing the utter humanity of those who built it, defended it, attacked it, and lived around it. Earthen Walls, Iron Men intertwines the stories of naval battles and military actions with those human elements such as greed, theft, murder, and courage to create a vibrant, relevant history that will appeal to all who seek to know what real life was like during the Civil War.

Our guest this episode is Stuart Rowson who was, until very recently, Younger Audiences Editor for BBC Sport – we recorded our chat before he got a new role at the BBC, so congratulations Stuart on the move!
The focus of this episode is about how to stay relevant and relatable to younger audiences, something the BBC has been able to do for almost 100 years now. We discuss what younger audiences want from BBC Sport, we look at how much effort the BBC puts into creating content that is relatable, entertaining and informative, and that is published at the right time and when you're in the right mood. And, we look at how BBC Sport is able to find the character that is befitting of the organisation and their audiences – which, it turns out, is somewhere between dad dancing and #ladsbantz

The BBC doesn't need any introduction, and neither does BBC Sport. From the Olympics and World Cups, to Wimbledon and Match of the Day…if you're a sports fan in the UK, chances are you will have watched something on BBC Sport at some point.
The challenge for BBC Sport is staying relevant and relatable to each new generation, which is why they have spent a lot of time and effort finding out exactly what the 16-24 age group thinks of BBC Sport – what do they think of the brand? How do they behave digitally? What are their psychological mood states and need states? Oh, and what kind of sport do they want?
It turns out that younger audiences have a fairly traditional view of the BBC – an organisation based on being trustworthy, accurate and being there to inform, educate and entertain.
For younger audiences, the BBC is a bit beige. They're respectable – no doubt about that – but also a bit boring. Kind of like of middle class, middle-aged white man. Everyone's trusted uncle.
Essentially, not particularly cool.
For us it's about going from being the trusted uncle to being the cool mate.
That said, the BBC Sport website still reaches a lot of younger people – 6 million under 34s visit every month.
This younger audience appreciates the BBC's journalistic credentials, and they like how the BBC does live sport and big events. They just want the BBC to be more entertaining…but still be the BBC.
We can't become Sporf, LadBible or Joe – they're all brilliant at what they do, but that's not what we exist for.
Youth audiences in the UK still love their football, but there are also new sports they want more of – namely the American acronym sports, such as the NFL, NBA, UFC and MMA.
These sports aren't just about the sport side of things either – particularly with the NFL and the NBA it is about sport as entertainment – you're watching the whole show around it as well. There are big opportunities to create content around the lifestyle and culture side of those sports.
There is also a challenge to make content for these 'newer' sports that is relatable even if you don't like the sport.
The above piece shows an example of the BBC's approach to 'easy learning' – it's fun content but also teaches you something – in this case, an idea of what NFL stars actually look like and how good they are at a different sport!
The BBC Sport website, including the app, gets around 20-22 million UK browses a week, with another 10 million globally on top of that. On social media, BBC Sport's global following across all their channels is around 30 million – 10 million of which is in the UK and 75% of that audience is aged 34 or younger.
BBC Sport's main focus with their social channels is to drive traffic – their strategy has always been reach and referrals.
Some people are far better than us at just getting big numbers. We don't just fill out channels with video. There has to be some value back to our product on social – how can we maintain reach?
On average, BBC Sport gets around 15-20 million visits per month to its website via their social media channels.
The team at BBC Sport have a framework/thinking checklist to help them plan their content, something based on their audience research work. The framework is as follows:
- How will my face move? Want positive reaction – also gives positive legacy
- Where does it fit in my life? Monday morning vs Friday evening? What moment are you looking to hit?
- What is psych need state? Mood management – might be time wasting!
- Is it for mobile? What platform? Facebook? YouTube or BBC site?
- What do I learn?
The result is content such as this video about training like Anthony Joshua – it's fun while also showing just what extremes a top boxer goes to in their gym sessions.
The focus and thought around when to schedule content is also hugely important. The more strategic you are, the bigger impact. On a very simple level, you're just scheduling to people's lives and what mood they're in. That's why big channels put big dramas on at 9pm in the winter – everyone is in front of their TV – and BBC Sport's approach is an extension of that.
With BBC Sport content, you can expect something informative over just banter. Take the 'Which Olympian are you?' quiz, for example a broad piece of work that is both shareable and educational.
And then there are pieces like 'How Mo Can Yo Go?'
These tap into the idea of being relatable, as well as entertaining. You don't need anything scientific knowledge – or knowledge about athletics – to know that Mo Farah runs very fast, far faster than normal humans can cope with!
Then there are pieces like the Ballers' Barber.
This is obviously geared towards a younger audience, but the BBC's older audiences don't mind it either. It's good content and it lets you see a part of a footballer's world that you otherwise wouldn't have access to.
Old gits want to have fun too! They just don't want to see #ladsbantz!
For BBC Sport, it's about finding an appropriate way to pitch their content for younger audiences, which, it turns out, is somewhere in the middle of #ladsbantz and dad dancing.
The future for BBC Sport will be about continuing to understand its audience, creating content they want and still being an organisation that covers the biggest events.
Things change quickly at the BBC – you only have to go back a few years to find match reports that were 700-word, text-only pieces, whereas now they are more visual, more fit for mobile and more of a menu of content centred on a match.
And younger audiences still absolutely want to watch stuff live, which is one of the reasons the BBC is rolling out an extra 1,000 hours of sport across its website and the iPlayer this year.
A great example of how this is already working for the BBC is their coverage of the early rounds of the Rugby League Challenge Cup, which they started last year. These matches received around 25,000 browsers – quite a small number for the BBC – but their average watch time was around 25 minutes, which was far greater than, say, a Facebook Live video.
Those audiences are more engaged and more interested, and therefore the BBC is being more valuable to them.
Stuart's three top tips for engaging with younger audiences
1. Know your audience – don't assume to know your audience.
2. You can't preach to a younger audience. You need to feel like a peer. Whether that's in the people who appear in your content or who make it, needs to feel authentic to young people – it can't feel like dad dancing
3. Be willing to adapt, quickly. What I'm doing now shouldn't be what this role is doing in two years' time.

A judge has agreed to let criminal charges to be erased from the record of a former Hartford official if he stays out of trouble during probation after a corruption investigation led to the conviction of Mayor Eddie Perez.
Hartford Superior Court Judge Julia Dewey granted Edward Lazu's request for accelerated rehabilitation on Wednesday.
The program allows for charges to be erased from first-time offenders' records if they stay out of trouble during a probation period. He does not admit guilt in the case.
Prosecutors said Lazu, the city's former contract compliance supervisor, got free driveway and sidewalk work at his home from city contractor Carlos Costa, who has pleaded not guilty.
Perez was convicted Friday of taking a bribe, attempted extortion and other charges.

I told you when I was in the thick of my weight loss journey, there was a lot of time spent crying and pouting because I could not have things I "wanted" or was used to getting… but those tearful moments were good lessons for me. They taught me that I do have control over myself and if I have to let myself cry to get over it, that was ok. They taught me that *I* am worth a few tears, worth the sometimes overwhelming effort. They taught me that even if I was overwhelmed enough to cry, that I could *still* stick to my guns.
And after months and months of teaching myself that I could stick to my committments to ME, I was rewarded (several different times) with different tears… by reaching a goal that I was aiming for – a goal that sometimes seemed I'd set a little too high. Even after a year in my "new" body I still feel giddy when I fit into a pair of jeans and or stand in front of the mirror and don't feel sick and when I visit the doctor to be asked if I work out a lot because I have the heart rate of "a very athletic person"… these rewards are worth those tear drops even still!
And today I was reminded that getting to the "goal" is not the end of the effort OR the tears. I was excited since breakfast to take myself to lunch today. Nowhere fancy, just the local bbq joint – but I like it. I like to sit there with my 1/2 pound of muscle turkey and enjoy… so I drove over later than I planned (therefore am starving by the way) and it was jam packed. Being so hungry I was upset by the idea of having to wait and I really didn't wanna enjoy my meal with so much noise, etc. So I decide to go some place else.
The car is low on gas so I'll have to stop and get some, and I am passing the store where I need to return something so I'll have to stop and do that. I am so mad now that I don't even see any place that looks good. I have a protein bar in my purse and contemplate eating that, but it will use up a good chunk of my calories so that will be my whole meal – not in the mood for that today. So I decide I'll just run my quick errands and go back home to the chicken in the fridge that I was not in the mood to eat. Now it's been about 30 minutes and I am so frustrated and hungry that the tears start coming. It's a stupid thing to cry about – there are easily 10 restaurants I could stop at to eat *something* – but I am so mad that those choices would take me off my plan. There was a snickers at the store check out…… but you know I didn't buy it {yes frustrated and hungry Debi gets pretty irrational}
I cried my little cry and got home and ate chicken – cold because I was too hungry to heat it up. And a whole crown of broccoli. The crying is over, the hunger is gone, and I feel good about sticking to my plan. Success isn't always pretty

Okay, so I have this problem. I love to write, and I can make a mean parapgraph but when it comes to summing things up into a witty title, I go blank! I'm no good at one liners, at least not under pressure!
I want to make a new blog. I've had my blog adventures over the years, some have been better than others but none have been quite right or what I was looking for. I've just never been able to find something that I have enough to write about. But I believe I have the thing now!
I have recently, in addition to going processed free a while ago, gone gluten-free and dairy-free for allergy reasons.(Ahahaha. Fairy-free! Thank goodness for a quick proofread!) I also avoid corn and soy, and when you add all these things together, you get a whole lot of not a lot of choices!! Or so I thought. What you really get is the need to do a whole lot of cooking in order to do any kind of decent eating!
My dietary changes have spawned a whole new creative cooking side out of neccesity, and I think I finally might have found my blog niche! I really want to share my recipes and stories and ideas and I think a blog with probably make a few of my Facebook friends hate me less!
Like I said, I am so stuck on a name! I really want to come up with something catchy and good for once! I think it will help people get interested plus help me stay interested!
I really want to name this blog! Bees, will you help me?!

Many people, at one time or another, contemplate whether it's a better idea to buy property or rent property. Condos and apartments are two popular choices for those wanting a home that requires little or no outdoor maintenance and that's on the smaller size for real estate. Saskatoon has much to offer when it comes to condos and apartments, so which is the best choice for you?
Let's take a closer look at some of the pros and cons associated with buying condos or renting apartments:
Buying a Condo:
Condos are typically housed in a larger building or are part of a condominium complex. While they tend to be similar in size to apartments, condos are often purchased rather than rented. Like buying a house, one of the plus sides to investing in a condo is that, overtime, you will be building equity as the value of your condo appreciates. For some, the fact that they will be building equity for themselves and not a landlord is enough to convince them to buy.
Unlike purchasing a home that is entirely your own, however, many condos have restrictions on remodelling and require you to pay condo fees each month. This sum of money is used toward the maintenance of the building or complex.
Renting an Apartment:
An apartment usually consists of one to three bedrooms and is often part of a larger building or a section of a house.
For many people, one of the biggest downfalls of renting, whether it's an apartment or a house, is that you won't build equity while renting – you're building equity for your landlord. When you're ready to move on from an apartment, the only thing you'll be taking with you are your belongings, but for some, the greatest benefit of renting is the freedom; you can move without having to first sell your property and you won't be on the hook for any repairs or upgrades that the apartment requires. That said, depending on the landlord, you could be waiting a long time for those repairs or upgrades to be made.
Of course, buying a condo requires you to save a down payment and to be prepared to pay for repairs when something breaks down. But, for many, having a place that is truly their own and that is an investment makes buying a condo the preferred option.
If you're shopping for a condo and would like the guidance of an experienced Saskatoon realtor, don't hesitate to get in touch with me.

For as long as I can remember I've struggled with my mental health. I don't remember a time when I didn't feel like my own mind was conspiring against me. I know there was a time when it wasn't an issue because I only started having mental health issues when I was fifteen but I honestly can't with perfect clarity recall any of it. I have the memories but there's no emotional connection to them. Like looking at a picture book of pretty scenes and thinking "That's nice" but not feeling anything. I've had mental health problems for so long that they just feel like they've always been a part of me.
I realised at age eighteen that I was suffering from depression and that I had been suffering with it since I was fifteen. I have a tough ongoing battle with depression. When I go low, I go so low I think there's no way out. I've had suicidal thoughts. I suffered from severe anxiety due to depression to the point where I physically couldn't leave the house. My mental health story is messy and someday I'll be able to write it all down and share it but not today. I'm not ready yet.
Instead I'm going to share the story behind my tattoo.
I've been an avid Harry Potter fan for years. I lived and breathed Harry Potter as a kid. I devoured anything to do with it, including interviews with JK Rowling. She described how she created Dementors when she was depressed, basing them on the despair she felt and then creating Expecto Patronum, which is a spell that focuses on your happiest memory for its power, to combat them.
I can't remember the exact interview I read but I've found a quote from this interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2010 which sums it up pretty well:
"It's that absence of feeling – and it's even the absence of hope that you can feel better. And it's so difficult to describe to someone who's never been there because it's not sadness. Sadness is – I know sadness – sadness is not a bad thing. You know? To cry and to feel. But it's that cold absence of feeling – that really hollowed-out feeling. That's what the Dementors are."
Her description of Dementors always stuck with me because that's how I felt at my worst and darkest. So at sixteen when I decided that I wanted a tattoo, I knew it would be "Expecto Patronum" to always remind me that my depression could always be beaten.
Now, it took me nine years to actually get the damn tattoo! I'm a wuss with pain and the idea terrified me! But in November last year I made the appointment for January past and I got my tattoo.
As it happens I booked the tattoo when I was in a very good place in my life. Everything was going swimmingly. However when I actually went and got the tattoo it was during a really dark period which I've mentioned before here on the blog.
It was a hideously bad time for me and getting a tattoo that represented how I always would kick my depression's ass felt so fraudulent to me. But I got it and it actually helped me so much during that bad time.
Doing the aftercare and constantly looking at the tattoo helped lift me. It made me remember all the reasons why I wanted that spell tattooed on me. It made me remember that I was strong enough and that depression would never win.
I'm so glad I got this tattoo. It's beautiful and whenever I'm having a bad day or bad thoughts swirl around in my brain, I press my thumb to it and remember that my patronus, the light inside of me, will always chase the Dementors in my brain away.

Recent and ground breaking innovations include more fuel efficient tyres via reduced rolling resistance, reduced noise characteristics and all season tyres. The pace of change is likely to increase with the drive towards the "intelligent tyre" and increased used of synthetic compounds.
The process of new tyre design and testing requires the generation of large volumes of performance and wear data gathered in the field when tyres are fitted to vehicles.
Rapid analysis of such data using TreadReader technology can significantly enhance design and testing with immediate diagnosis of the amount of wear, the uniformity of wear and the presence of specific wear modes, without the need to remove tyres from the vehicle and send to the laboratory for analysis.
Assess wear behaviour in the field and not just the laboratory
No need to remove tyres from the vehicle
Quality assured products from a high tech company with many years experience in the tyre industry
The TreadReader Hand Held scanner is a lightweight and easy to use device that eliminates the errors commonly associated with manual tread depth gauges.
The TreadReader Drive Over ramp is a fully automated tyre wear measurement system that can be configured for passenger cars, or light commercial vehicles.

Following the introduction of a new Hunter Water Regulation in September 2015, Hunter Water has developed and published a new Guideline for Development in the Drinking Water catchments.
Hunter Water's drinking water catchments are located within the Port Stephens and Dungog local government areas. Hunter Water participates in the planning and assessment process for development proposals that may impact on drinking water supplies by referral from the relevant consent authority (Port Stephens Council, Dungog Shire Council or the NSW Department of Planning).
The objective of the Guideline is to assist property developers and consent authorities, by providing clear information about potential impacts to drinking water quality from development in the drinking water catchments, and Hunter Water's expectations for protecting drinking water.
The Guideline is not intended to replace existing council and NSW Government planning processes and policies, rather it is intended to complement existing planning processes. The Guideline includes broad-scale maps of the catchments; however customers should contact their local council with any development enquiries in the first instance.

Integrative Medicine at Riverside brings together evidence-based complementary therapies with leading-edge cancer treatment. Simply put, integrative medicine focuses on the whole person - body, mind and spirit - not just the disease. This combined approach to care, particularly where it involves managing the side effects of cancer and its treatment, has been demonstrated to enhance quality of life for a wide range of people, and has become a growing component of the Cancer Care program that is offered at no cost.
The Integrative Medicine team is comprised of certified oncology nurses, palliative care coordinators, certified massage therapists, a certified lymphedema therapist, a registered yoga instructor and a registered dietitian, and also includes a music therapy coordinator and pet therapy.
Nurse Coordinator
The process begins when new patients are introduced to our nurse coordinator. The nurse coordinator assesses patient needs based on their diagnosis and treatment plan. Based on the assessment and patient interview, other team members will be included in the customized care plan.
Then the patient is given a teaching session where we review the treatment plan and address questions and anxieties. The nurse will also coordinate patient appointments with radiation oncology, surgeons and diagnostic testing as needed.
Patients with compromised appetites or poor nutritional status are referred to this service, which is not offered through many cancer programs around the country. Our dietitian holds national certification in oncology, providing education and consultation regarding food, diet, supplementation and chemotherapy.
Each month, in conjunction with the American Cancer Society, our dietitian presents "Nutrition and Physical Activity During and After Cancer Treatment" to our patients and the community. On average, she meets with 20 patients per week addressing their nutritional needs and concerns.
Special Support Services
Riverside and community services feature:
- Family services that include individuals being treated with cancer but focus on the informational, emotional, logistic and other needs of family and friend caregivers
- Patient Navigators who provide one-on-one help to guide patients through the health care system in general and the cancer experience in particular
- A wide range of other resources to help our patients with everything from transportation and work-related issues to counseling and palliative care. Our palliative care coordinator also serves as a liaison with Home Care and Hospice in the community.
This past year, we initiated a distress screening tool to better address the many psychosocial needs of our patients. In addition, we recently launched a new Survivorship Program to assist patients with their transition from treatment to survivorship.
Music Therapy
A wealth of scientific research confirms music's role in helping people relax by reducing the perception of discomfort and affecting breathing rate and blood pressure in a positive way. Along with helping to reduce anxiety and depression, music also helps distract from the side effects of treatment. Music therapy individualized to each patient is offered through an iPod loaded with personal selections. About 100 patients each month seek music or movies on a DVD player.
Massage Therapy
Our massage therapists provide private full-body massage appointments as well as foot massage during chemotherapy treatment. Massage therapists are included in the treatment planning for each of our patients. There are many studies supporting the benefits of massage for individuals with cancer. Documented benefits include stress and anxiety reduction, decrease in pain, and a decrease in possible side effects from medical treatments, such as nausea, fatigue, constipation, and peripheral neuropathy. Patients report that their time in the massage room is restorative and conducive to an overall sense of well-being. Currently, approximately 140 patients per month take advantage of massage therapy to complement their treatment.
Pet Therapy
Animals have a long history of providing people with unconditional acceptance, affection and companionship. Pet therapy at Riverside is provided by our generous and enthusiastic community of volunteers who bring their certified therapy dogs - specially trained to be gentle and comforting around people - to interact with patients to the benefit of both species. There are currently 10 different dogs that visit our facilities on a weekly basis.
Yoga Therapy
Mindful Yoga is a weekly program designed to meet the specialized needs of patients wherever they are in their process of healing. The atmosphere in the yoga class promotes relaxation and rejuvenation. It includes breathing techniques for stress reduction and guided imagery, along with gentle yoga poses that increase flexibility and stamina.

The Life of a Book
Recently, a long overdue book was returned to Bowness Library with the following note:
Dear Library Staff,
Many years ago I borrowed this book. My mom was contacted shortly after the due date had passed. We didn't have a lot of money back then to pay the fees.
I swore to her that I didn't have it – but I clearly lied. (Please don't tell her!)
For nearly three decades now the book has been resting on my bookshelf, eyeing me with disappointment while I sleep.
Perhaps you'll agree that it's never too late to right a wrongdoing. So, today I return the book to its rightful owner.
As the book concerns Greek Mythology – a subject which likely hasn't evolved much since the book was published in the early 1980s – my hope is that its contents are still relevant and of some value to your current collection.
I'd like to thank past employees of the Bowness branch for encouraging me to explore the world at a young age. In November 1988, the time at which I took out this book, no one could have predicted that 28 years later my discoveries would culminate in a PhD in linguistics. A brief word to current staff: Never underestimate the effect you have on your readers, even on the goofballs who don't return their books on time!

"Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many--not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some." ~Charles Dickens
Lest I just be another voice that sounds redundantly thankful on their social media page, I'll just say echo the words of Dickens to say that every life is accompanied with blessings and if they're hard to find this year, ask God to show you what you can be thankful for and He will answer it.
A Happy Thanksgiving to each of you and your families!

Vintage TOM THUMB TYPEWRITER, Orig Box, Booklet, Works! - (eBay item 290173329723 end time Oct-28-07 18:59:01 PDT)
Are you into vintage typewriters?
This Tom Thumb typewriter is so like a real typewriter in weight and function that it's almost wrong to call it a toy. It comes complete with the original box and instruction booklet.
The box says it's Model 449E. Someone stamped the box several places, "February 34, 1957" and "Paid." While there aren't 34 days in February, I can believe the year is right.
The logo on the front says, "Tom Thumb Typewriter, Made in U.S.A., Patent No. 2,705,553, Western Stamping Co., Jackson, Mich." The lever on the right front is labeled, "Ribbon Reverse."
The ribbon box has a used ribbon in it and says, "Ribbon-Rite Ribbon for Ribbon-Rite Marking Machine for Dry Cleaning and Laundry Use. Re-order No. 1022. Textile Marking Machine Co., Inc., 2204 Erie Blvd., East. Syracuse 1, N.Y."
The original booklet says, "Tom Thumb Educational Toys" and shows the Tom Thumb Cash Register and the Tom Thumb Typewriter. Inside the booklet are the operating instructions with a diagram of the parts and another to show where to place your fingers on the keyboard.
It types upper and lower case letters, and the keyboard is a little different than a regular typewriter. The bottom row has fractions you can type by pushing the Figure Shift key which raises the platen very high to type them.
The top row keys are QWERTYUIOP and "#$%_&'()-.
The middle row keys are ASDFGHJKL and 123456789.
The bottom row keys are ZXCVBNM,. and 1/4 1/2 3/4 @ cent sign ?;:/.
Did you know there's a site on-line for fans of portable typewriters? Visit http://www.geocities.com/wbd641/toys.html to see many old models.
The typewriter measures 11" wide by 5" high by 10" thick. It weighs 7 lb. 1.4 oz. Original cost: $12.95 See more photos on eBay.

Taking things further
So painting started off as a simple edgar payne type study. Totally did not that end that way . What started out as a horizontal shot turned into a vertical shot . Jason told me to make it vertical then Dan kept telling me to take it all the way into space lol . So what was supposed to be small became this large ass painting. I took screenshots of all the detail lol.
On a side note I took Nathan Fowkes workshop this saturday. It was amazing. I am going to buy paints today so I can start practicing my painting and composition skills every night!

One of my work colleagues all of a sudden came to work after a long leave a different person. I mean that literally and not figuratively. He actually came back a lot thinner. This is the guy with man boobs, a beer like belly and a bad attitude.
We all thought he did some kind of surgery or magic. But he didn't. He did something called the apple diet. He lost tons of weight. For a while. He looked at us all high and mighty. That only lasted 2 weeks though. He then started over eating due to being on a very restrictive diet and starving himself. He ballooned again, and we all were happy to see his man boobs return. He was a prick.
Another friend of mine was getting married and she wanted to look good for her honeymoon pictures..or just look good in the honeymoon. So she decided 4 days before the wedding to lose a tremendous amount of weight. She asked me to make 11 bottles of green smoothies everyday for 3 days. She started getting the chills about marriage and thought she'd never even make it to the honeymoon. She got lightheaded, even more frustrated at everyone around her but ended up losing the weight. The smoothie fast worked. After the honeymoon she was nicknamed Winnie the pooh. The buffets looked irresistible after 4 days of juice only. Well, it's the first impression that matters most I guess.
Another frustrated overweight, almost obese buddy of mine was sick and tired of feeling unattractive. He went from eating half the store to eating almonds and yogurt. I really wish I could say that any changes even happened. He didn't make it pass day 3. But i'm sure if he did, he would have lost tons of weight.
Moral of story? These fad, 7 day bikini body definitely works. Yes, they do. For a while. You end up going through an excruciating physical and psychological mess, just to get even fatter. If you want long term results, please be patient, take the right path to physical and mental health and wait for it. Your body waited for you to fatten it with butter, salt and sugar. It didn't happen overnight. It's now your turn to wait.
Please wait for it

MEAUX, France — Near the edge of a parapet of stacked sandbags, a test robot rumbles, offering visitors hundreds of miles away a bleak view of military life in World War I trenches.
A real French or German soldier could never have seen more than about 30 feet along the zigzag shelters. But now, at the Musée de la Grande Guerre, ultimately anyone in the world will be able to pilot a robot by computer to zoom in for a close look at cramped replicas of German and French dugouts.
Despite a slightly irrational fear of robots which probably came from watching Terminator when I was still a bit too young, I'm always fascinated to read about developments in the field of robotics, especially when they intersect with the cultural space. Here, robots are being trialled as a kind of long-distance, controllable tour guide.
As one of the interviewees in this article notes, there's no substitute for the emotional response a visitor gets from actually standing before a piece of art, culture, or heritage. However, not everyone is able to reach cultural institutions to enjoy this personal reaction – be it through financial, logistical, or personal constrictions.
As a means of opening up culture to more and more people, I think this approach has promise. One thing I was surprised not to see mentioned was the potential for a team up with VR technology, since advances in this field are moving at an impressive pace.
So, in the near future, is it so hard to imagine navigating a robot through a physical landscape while enjoying a real time, VR rendering of that space hundreds of miles away? Probably not.

Now If Only It Could Stay this Way
Meanwhile, the 13.5 mile ride killed me! I am feeling so fat and slow after not only riding so little, but eating so much. I'm back in training now and hope to shed the pounds and build up the stamina quickly. But it took me almost an hour and a half to do the ride that usually takes me an hour. And then I had to rush to get to school on time.
It is, of course, tempting to go back out in this beautiful weather now that I'm home after teaching, but I need to maintain the discipline of my writing, so I'm heading back into my cave.
Check out this story about Ride Of Your Life, a new book by David Rowe as featured on
1 comment:
Hey, Ira!
Thanks for your link to the Cycleiscious interview. I hope you found something in all those musings that you can use as you get your 09 season underway.
Isn't it funny how at one point in the year, a 13.5 mile ride seems to fly by without effort, and then, at another point, it is such hard work?
Reading your story about your ride on Wednesday reminds me of my own 'benchmark' ride - a loop that I call 'round the lake.' It's about 15 miles, and it's the ride I start out with at the beginning of every season.
It's like an old friend now. I feel like I return to it after a long season of riding, and leave it when the days grow longer and so do the rides.
All the best to you this year - and may you find the ride of your life in 2009!

I love a good beauty gimmick – I really do. Case in point the new Rimmel mascara which is one of those products that seems a bit obvious now it's been invented. It's essentially a mascara that won't dry out and clump out; it has a little ball inside it so you can shake it to make the formula feel a lot fresher. I must say that the inclusion of the little ball means that the wand itself is really heavy – definitely would weigh down your makeup bag! I managed to pick mine up for £5.99, which is a pretty good price for an innovative product I think.
The formula on this is nothing spectacular (nor is the brush), it's much more about the gimmick factor! It does leave lashes looking defined and I would categorise this one firmly within the daytime mascara group. It is a nice inky black that manages to stay put on the lashes without smudging, but it takes a good few coats to build it up to give lots of volume – the plus is that won't clump up on the lashes because the formula is so wet in consistency. I would say that I wouldn't keep this mascara past three months anyway because I think it's not hygienic to do so but there fact that this won't deteriorate over time is an exciting concept.
Have you tried this?

"What Did You Just Call Me??"
The year may be young, but I've already been mistaken for a grip three times, and an intern once.
I've been called worse things before, but I hope everyone's new year is starting off better than mine!
3 comments :
- Michael Taylor said...
If we wear a tool belt and gloves, most people on set make the assumption that we're grips -- it seems to be the default setting. I've had camera operators on my current show as me for an apple box... and this after nearly five years and a hundred episodes of working together.
But to be fair, I still conflate props and set dressing every now and then, even though I know damned well who does what. Nobody's perfect.
That said, being called an "intern" at this point in your career is baffling. I can only hope that came from an exceptionally green and uninformed person on set...

I've been once mistaken for an extra - and I had my tool belt quite visibly on my shoulder when I arrived onto a new set and they even brought costumes around to check if I needed anything to wear..!
And yeah, I've been mistaken for a lighting trainee or work experience quite a few times.. It doesn't help that I'm short, female and look about 10 years younger than I am.

So many of you weighed in on yesterday's death cafe' question. So here is some thoughts to ponder for today:
The best way to die for me would be….
1) Surrounded by love: Whether that's physical presence or just the knowledge that I am loved by God and others and have loved in return. I would hate to no longer have enough of my faculties to realize that.
2) With Knowledge of When It Was Going to Happen: Tuesdays with Morrie has led me to believe that knowing that death is imminent is in fact, somewhat comforting. Morrie was able to have a funeral while he was alive and hear the thoughts and the things that others would have liked to say to him. He was able to say good bye to good friends, students and others who meant much to him and he was able to spend his last days at home with his wife. Sounds pretty good to me.
3) With Hospice Workers: These people are saints! I've come to that conclusion. They help people die and they do it with grace and care for the other. They bring a joy to death that was previously unimaginable. If I had a long drawn out illness, I'd be sure that these folks helped me along the path.
4) Without regrets: What I probably fear most is leaving this life with someone angry with me or me with someone and that left unresolved, or at the very least unspoken. A friend asked me once if he should visit a woman who was dying who asked to see him that he had a major dispute with when they were dating. He wasn't sure if he even wanted to "give her the satisfaction" of being forgiven by him. I said it's not whether or not you choose to forgive her, it's giving her the opportunity to ask for forgiveness. In the end he was glad he went to see her and he realized that he didn't have to offer her forgiveness if he wasn't able to yet, that could come on his time. She just wanted to be sure that she offered amends for her faults. I get that.
The best way to die? With abandon to God. A full surrender of this life to the Lord seems to be the mark I'd like to hit. The truth is that we all are dying a bit more each day. Some of us will complete that journey a bit faster than others, but regardless, death's call will come for us all eventually. Can we, as Francis says, welcome Sister or Brother Death when they call for us? In dying well, we also live more passionately, more lovingly, with great forgiveness and compassion for others and most importantly, we exhaust all the marrow out of our bones, living life to the fullest by dying to this life with all that we are.
Today, may we die just a bit more, because we have lived with all that we are. Amen.

Tag fermentation
I rarely get that excited about a new product coming to market. Most of the time, it takes me months to get around to trying new things, in part because of my recipe testing queue. But fresh artisanal pastas might just get my attention. Even as I am working on holiday recipes for December, the
The world of vegan food just keeps getting better. Case in point, fermented Punk Rawk cashewmilk cheeses. (If you want to win some samples of these yummy cheese, read on down to the bottom of this post.) A while back, I did a tasting of Miyoko Shinner's vegan cheeses. But there is more than one
It's funny, how memories come floating to the surface when you taste something that triggers them. Like when I took a sip of miso broth the other day. Years ago, I worked with a guy who was partying hard by night, and baking bread by day. He'd limp in, pale and shaky, and share the
Miyoko Schinner is both a grande dame and a hot new face on the vegan scene. She is the author of one of the first wave of vegan cookbooks, the Now and Zen Epicure, which she put out in 1990. That book is out of print, although a revised new version did come out
When the vegan lifestyle comes up in conversation, a common refrain is often heard. "I can't live without cheese." Because of that, there have been many vegan cheese substitutes manufactured over the years, from the rubbery, unmelting soy cheeses to the melty but not very nutritious versions so popular these days. I know I have
I've always wondered why tofu is so much more popular than tempeh. I'm betting that it's because tofu is on menus in Chinese, Korean and Japanese restaurants, while tempeh is really more Indonesian, so you see it on the rare Indonesian restaurant menu, and at vegetarian places. It's a shame, since you could make a
Ask anyone what keeps them from eating better, and most people say, time. No time to plan, no time to shop, above all, no time to cook. Of course, it is possible to eat great, vegetarian food even if you are crunched for time. It really is. Especially with the fast and flavor forward recipes
Preserved lemons have always been on my list of things to try making. Not at the top, but on there. Most recipes that call for them seem to involve chicken and fish, so I figured maybe that was what they were all about. That and I already work lemon zest and juice into just about everything
I recently attended a conference on the topic of grains. Of course, the current state of affairs in the grain world is not complete without a discussion of the rise in the numbers of people who have stopped eating wheat. There on the panel, one of the compelling theories put forward came from Michael Pollan,

Apple just released their latest software for the iPhone and iPad – iOS 9. Notable in this release was the support for ad blocking apps. When ad blocking is enabled it removes ads from websites, videos and apps from your mobile devices. In general, people tend to dislike ads, often finding them disruptive to the mobile experience. Just like when watching TV, people prefer to skip the ads or at least fast forward through them. With online ads, instead of skipping them, they simply disappear from view. An additional benefit of never seeing these ads is it also reduces your data and battery usage on your mobile device.
Apple's iOS 9 release doesn't mark the first availability of ad blocking technology. Android also supports ad blocker apps, and desktop computers have had ad blocking built into anti-virus software, browsers, browser extensions, and stand alone ad blocker software for several years now.
I always find it odd that companies that rely on advertising sell or enable ad blocking – effectively shrinking their marketing footprint. If I use an ad blocker you can't advertise to me. Apple itself probably spends close to $1 billion on advertising across TV and the Internet. The argument for ad blocking is that the people that use them aren't the advertiser's targeted customer or are not online shoppers so there's really no harm done. Another point is that a lot of kids will use these apps and they don't have the disposable income that adults do, so the impact will be minimal. Unfortunately that's not really the case.
The Internet is, for the most part, free. Most of the websites and apps you use on a daily basis provide all of their content for free. Think about ESPN, YouTube, Huffington Post, etc. How can these sites afford to provide all of this content for free? Advertising of course! If enough people enable ad blocking, then advertisers will be less likely to buy ads online since no one can see them. If less ad revenue is earned by the sites providing free content, then there are only two outcomes: start charging for the content or shut down the websites.
Many apps are free but ad supported, meaning you get the app for free but must endure ads periodically. If enough people use ad blockers, app developers will end up charging for the apps or stop developing them completely since they can't make money.
To illustrate this point, the developer of the number one ad blocker (Peace) in the Apple AppStore pulled the app and offered users a refund stating, "It just doesn't feel good." He explained his choice saying, "While they do benefit a ton of people in major ways, they also hurt some, including many who don't deserve the hit."
Right now it is a wait and see game as to whether these ad blocking apps make a significant dent in online ad revenues. I don't think they will. Besides, I personally like ads, but hey, I am in the business. What are your thoughts on ad blocking and its potential effects on consumers, marketers and publishers?back to all blogs

How to Improve America Case Study
Pages: 8 (3215 words) · Style: APA · Bibliography Sources: 6 · File: .docx · Topic: Family and Marriage
for $19.77
¶ … governmental, organizational and/or corporate misconduct. Indeed, the problem selected for this report has plenty of all three of those. The culprit and problem that will be address is the dividing and enflaming of American society that is occurring, whether it is on purpose or by accident, the actions or inactions of a lot of people that are just after money, power or keeping the same sad song and dance moving along. This country could and should be so much better than it is now but it is wallowing in self-pity, anger and is clinging to things that are not moving America forward. The author of this report asserts boldly that this is not some empty rhetoric that is akin to a hokey political slogan and it is certainly not just a soundbite. America is going in the wrong direction, most everybody knows it and there are tangible aggravating factors that explain precisely why this is happening. Well-intentioned people know there are problems but they are fixing them or trying to fix them, whether they know it or not, from the wrong end of the problems. While trying to make things better is noble and good, it is wiser and more effective to kill the problem at its source.
Before going any further, the author of this report is not trying to suggest that the United States does not have some proverbial and real blood on its hands when it comes to how this country was founded, how it grew, how certain groups were treated and what decisions the country still makes in terms of when they choose to intercede in international affairs and problems and when they do not. An example of the latter would be fighting a war in Iraq but letting the genocide of Darfur go on basically unabated (IJP, 2015). The first was a dubious decision (at least in the eyes of many) and involved an oil-producing country while the latter involved a country with no strategic interests that the United States deemed relevant (Juhasz, 2015). The author of this report is not trying to be incendiary when saying that…it is merely a factual observation. Iraq and its oil matter a great deal to the long-term interests of the United States while not much of anything like that can be said about Rwanda/Darfur or any of the other anarchist or violent states that exist in Africa and elsewhere around the globe. As for more dated examples, there are examples like the treatment of blacks even after slavery was abolished (e.g. Jim Crow era, etc.), the treatment of women on so many levels, the treatment of Japanese people in the United States during World War II, what happened on so many levels with the Indians…and the list goes on.
However, those times and events have passed and most of the people involved in the majority of those decisions and actions are dead and gone. However, there are some people that are truly ignorant when it comes to what the past means and how we should move forward and the problem is that a lot of those people run corporations and are elected officials in the United States government. Sure enough, if some under-educated person wants to suggest that there is some "heritage" to the "stars and bars" flag, he is entitled to his opinion under the United States Constitution and he should not be silenced (Holley, 2015). However, outmoded opinions and ideas like that are just one symptom of a country that is clearly not doing its job when it comes to creating a healthy economy, not dividing people based on identity politics and creating good schools, even for the poor and the disadvantaged. The author of the report will get to the root of the real problems from a non-religious and objective point-of-view.
To directly answer the relevant question for this section as proposed by the assignment, the social problem is that America is being dumbed down and made complacent. Rather than being challenged and taught to reach high, they are being taught to settle, to complain when things do not go their way (even if there is good reason) and they are not being scolded for bad behavior. The author will get into what is meant by that in a bit. The group or groups that are affected by all of this is really everyone but the groups that get hit the most are the young, the poor, minorities and women, as it usually is. Social inequality is thus getting bigger and people that have the means to improve their own lives and outcomes are being told they cannot win because the world is against them. Indeed, there are injustices and prejudices out there and they should be dealt with. However, that is far from being the only problem that exists.
Organizational Culpability
As noted in the introduction, the organizations that are culpable for the wrong direction we are heading in run the gamut from corporate to government and from small to large. Let us use sexual activity as just one example. Needless to say, what consenting adults do behind closed doors is none of anyone else's business and the author of this report would wholeheartedly agree with that statement. However, there is one huge caveat as to when there is a point of disagreement….when the activity hurts or harms others and becomes a social problem. When it comes to sexual activity, there are several major things that can happen and they can all become major social problems. However, the problem with government and many private organizations is that they are actively encouraging or at least turning a blind eye to such behavior in the name of not being judgmental or to make a buck. For example, adultery is not a crime (nor should it be) but it can be very destructive on a number of levels. It tears up marriages and breaks up homes (CNN, 2012). While much of the culpability for that goes to the cheater, there are organizations that actively pursue and target people who engage in adultery. One of the more notorious examples of this would be the company Ashley Madison. Their sole and main business objective is to help married people find "friends" to have sex with and they unapologetically market to married people (Ashley Madison, 2015).
A different but related example would be something that falls on government more than anyone. There have always been births out of wedlock and this will never change. However, the rate at which this is occurring is growing at an alarming rate and it is to the extent that nearly half…one in two…children in this country are born out of wedlock (Castillo, 2013). While many may hold that this is an exercise in proselytizing and such, that is absolutely not the case. It has been established and proven through the ages that children in nuclear families (and that would include LGBT couples and step-parents of any sort) often do much better in life than those that grow up in a single parent household. Of course, this is because single parents (which are usually women) are often poorer and have less resources. Beyond that, a good many of the people in this country that are having children out of wedlock are those that can ill afford to be doing so. There are some alarming statistics regarding people having unprotected sex, people having unplanned pregnancies and the family structures (or lack thereof) that ensure after the fact. There has to be a commitment and focus on teaching people to family plan properly, what can truly go wrong when this does not occur and the author of this report has not even mentioned the rampant spread of sexually transmitted diseases that is happening concurrent to the unwed mother issue. To be clear, it is not about Bible-thumping or judging. Rather, it is about making solid life choices and only having or raising children when one is ready, willing and able to do so. Because this education and counseling is not occurring, so many people that have no business being parents are raising children that are being raised in dysfunctional and broken homes and the foster system simply cannot support the arc that is currently happening. Indeed, even many foster parents are acting in deviant and maladjusted ways (WHO, 2015).
The second of three major issues mentioned above would be the school system. What a child does and does not learn during their childhood is critical and key to what will happen when they grow up. If they start off on a bad path as a child, the chances that this will right itself in adulthood is extremely unlikely. While a huge part of getting this right has to do with the parenthood problem mentioned in the prior section, the schools in this country are a mess, at least a lot of them are. Many people talk about money being an issue and it indeed… [END OF PREVIEW]

Wine has been around a long time in Asia but sometimes we are still confused about which wines to enjoy with Asian Food. Luckily, here in Thailand the art of balancing sweet, salty, sour and bitter flavour sensations in wine along with richly flavoured Thai cuisine is as effortless as wine itself.
There are only five flavours we human beings can perceive: salty, sweet, sour, bitter and savoury. That's it; there are only five tastes and it does not matter if the food is Thai, Russian, Italian or Greek - the rules for matching wine and food are the same whether the food is from the east or west.
Most Thai food is low in fat, tangy and richly flavoured. Savoury curries, salty ocean fresh seafood, spicy dips, bitter herbs and sweet fruits all combine to mix deliciously in popular Thai cuisine. The ideal wines for Thai food are fruity, spicy, robustly flavoured and low in acidity and tannin.

White Wines for Thai food
Riesling and Gewürztraminer are some of the best white wine choices for Thai food. These wines offer floral, citrus, peach and mineral accents that pair well with spicy dishes and have won many fans among Thai food lovers. Riesling and Gewürztraminer paired with stir-fried vegetables like zucchini, squash, asparagus, and carrot; spicy chicken in chili paste; yellow noodles with crab meat; duck in red curry; and stir-fried chicken and cashew nut are all favourites of mine.
One of the best wine and Thai food matches I have experienced was in Songkla where I had an incredibly spicy yellow curried seafood plate with an icy cold Moscato d'Asti from Santo di Stefano. The whipsaw of spicy heat of the curry and chilled fruitiness of the Moscato was like a rollercoaster of flavour sensations. But for the ultimate in Thai food and wine combinations try deep-fried fish and mango salad or mussaman chicken curry paired with a sparkling Shiraz.
Then there is the world's most popular white wine, Chardonnay. It's equally happy with Thai cuisine. Good Chardonnay offers generous apple, melon, pear flavours, along with spice, honey, butter, butterscotch and hazelnut nuance. Look for lightly oaked versions that are refreshing and not heavy.
Personally, I find lighter Italian white wines to be perfect with herb-infused Thai dishes. Most Italian wines have an intriguing, slightly bitter taste that works well with Thai food. Another good bet is Semillon; its rich, honeyed flavour contrasts nicely with spicy Thai curries and dips.
Don't Overlook Red Wine
Many people seem surprised to discover how delicious Thai food is with red wine. The wines of the Rhône Valley, Syrah, Grenache and Mouvedre are perfect partners to Thai food. Not too heavy, spicy and fruity, their peppery character and fruitiness makes an ideal contrast and compliment to rich Thai foods.
California Zinfandel's peppery and jammy blackberry flavours work perfectly with the more hearty Thai dishes for much the same reasons. Try a peppery Zinfandel with a chilli-laden red curry beef plate to get the forehead moist and the senses firing on all cylinders.
As with Italian white wines, Italian reds have an uncanny affinity for Thai food. The Sangiovese-based wines of Tuscany are perfect with Thai food, and the wine's flavours seem to come alive when paired with local fare.
The two most important rules to remember when pairing wine with Thai food are that full-bodied wines should be served with robust, heavy dishes and lighter wines with lighter fare. And that crisp, acidic wines marry well with fatty foods, while soft wines are better suited to food with a touch of sourness. Other than that one should enjoy the wines they like the most without worrying about rules too much.
Why Smart Thai Food Lovers Choose Wine
Forget about beer and Champagne; the carbonation just intensifies the heat of chili peppers and bitterness of herbs while doing little to accentuate the food's other tastes. Unless you enjoy belching and sweating in front of others, go with wine or go without.
And what about Thai wine? There are two ways it is marketed and both are based on false logic. Some people try to make you feel obligated to drink Thai wine with Thai food simply because you are in Thailand. A salesman once asked me, "What's the matter, don't you like Thailand?" when I politely declined to buy his Thai wine. I just smiled and said I was into fusion. He didn't get it.
The other false logic propagated about Thai wine is that since it is from Thailand it somehow tastes better with Thai food. Actually, I have had some acceptable Thai wines and they seemed to taste better with Swedish food than they did with Thai food, but that is not the point. One should choose wines they enjoy, not wines they are obligated to drink. Taste is a personal experience; any wine can taste good with Thai food if you enjoy that wine.
Thai food is rapidly replacing Chinese as the world's most popular Asian fare. Wine has always been an important part of the dining table in both Western and Asian cultures and you could lose a lot of time thinking fine wines and Thai cuisine don't work. So mix it up, guided by the assurance that the two go hand in hand, just as with any other cuisine, and say 'yes' to Thai food and wine the next time the urge strikes. You just might discover your only regret is that you did not enjoy the two together sooner.

If you have a computer program that remembers all of your passwords for you for all of the websites you visit, you can get very dependent on that for serving as your "memory". If your system were to fail, you would probably be hard pressed to remember all of your passwords. Instead of writing the passwords down, which is really not very secure, every time you visit a favorite website, THINK the password as a way to test your own memory and keep those passwords fresh in your mind.

A helpful hint for passwords if you have trouble remembering. Make up one password...lets say fishstock. And add the last 3 letters of the site you are visiting. For example fishstockfun for Thriftyfun.
You could choose to use the first and last letters the first two and last two letters, just make it the standard you use for passwords on all sites.
You can also use "geek" speak on the base password. For example fishstock would be f1shst0ck. Using a one and the zero for the I and O.
I have a total of three passwords I have to remember. My general password for just about every site I visit regularly or even just rarely with the method above.
One password for VERY important website. It is a little more complex.
And a third password for sites that are very picky about how your passwords are made (must start with a consenant, must have at least one number, must be at least 7 characters long, stuff like that). Makes remembering passwords fairly easy, they don't have to be written down (but I do have a document file with my passwords and what sites they go to...it just isn't easy to find).
I agree with Suntydt I use almost the same method and it works out for me. For those important sites like banking or any site money is involved my password then is different and complex.
