James Franco has long taunted the media about his sexual orientation. Even though he's been in a long-term relationship with girlfriend Ahna O'Reilly, his numerous role choices of playing gay characters has people thinking that, perhaps, he is gay, and instead of shouting a defining answer like most celebrities, he coyly dodges the question.
Some critics say that it's a publicity stunt, to ensure his name continues to make headlines. That his back-and-forth play is almost an insult to those truly struggling with their sexual identity.
In his recent cover story in Entertainment Weekly, he responds:
It's funny because the way that kind of stuff is talked about on blogs is so black-and-white. It's all cut-and-dry identity politics. 'Is he straight or is he gay?' Or, 'This is your third gay movie -- come out already!' And all based on, gay or straight, based on the idea that your object of affection decides your sexuality.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Our society loves putting labels on people -- gay, straight, bi. It's as if it makes everyone more comfortable if they can identify a person by their sexuality. But in reality, the lines are blurred. A straight woman can have one night with another woman and not be gay, or even bi. She had a sexual connection with someone and went with it. We're all human and we all have urges, and sometimes those urges are opposite of what we are normally drawn to. It truly shouldn't even matter, but unfortunately we're obsessed with where each other stands on the sexuality spectrum, making it even more intimidating for those that are struggling with their sexual identity.
James plays these gay characters not for the headlines, and not because he's a closeted gay (but even if he was, it shouldn't matter). He chooses these roles because they're challenging. All of the characters he's played were homosexual in eras when it was difficult to be openly gay. He goes on to say, "Part of what I'm interested in is how these people who were living anti-normative lifestyles contended with opposition. Or, you know what, maybe I'm just gay."
What do you think of James's outlook on sexuality?

Minoru Aizawa, JCMU's Japanese Language Coordinator in Hikone, discusses why the weather is often used as an icebreaker when striking up conversation with a Japanese person.
Words describing the weather are probably some of the first terms introduced to Japanese learners when studying the language. Such words are much more frequently used than their English equivalents. When meeting someone for the first time, for instance, they are commonly used to open a conversation. Some useful expressions are as follow:
- "ずいぶん寒くなりましたね。" (It has become very cold, huh?)
- "梅雨に入りましたね。" (The rainy season has finally set in, hasn't it?)
- "蒸しますね。" (It's humid, isn't it?)
- "いい天気だね。" (Great weather, eh?)
It will be very beneficial, therefore, to learn how to use them appropriately in various contexts.
Why is it that Japanese people have come to use these expressions that state the obvious about the status of the weather as nice tools to begin a conversation? Two possible reasons come up to my mind.
One is that the dividing lines among four seasons have traditionally been clear in Japan and so have the changes in weather and temperature. This has made us more sensitive to weather in general. The other is that weather has had a strong influence on many Japanese engaged in agriculture, namely those raising rice. Changes in weather can have a direct impact on rice crops, leading us to become more concerned about weather.
If you are currently studying Japanese, try to pay attention to the weather in your neck of the woods. It might help you get a feel of the people who have started this custom in Japan!

Japanese culture, giving gifts to those you care about – friends,
family, neighbors, teachers, business colleagues – is as much of a deep
rooted cultural tradition as it is a socially expected obligation. Every
aspect of the highly prized and valued process, from picking out the
gift, to wrapping, presenting, and receiving the gift, is a finely
executed art. Thus, the act of giving and the ritualistic manner in
which it is performed often becomes much more important than the gift
itself. If you are living outside of Japan, you can adopt some of these
Japanese gift-giving traditions to make your own exchange of gifts more
meaningful and significant.
Selecting the Perfect Japanese Gift
According to Japanese custom, choosing the right gift is an important
step. A very expensive gift may be overwhelming and cause a person to
feel guiltily indebted to you, whereas a cheap and irrelevant gift may
be viewed as representative of your attitude toward the receiver. The
best gift, then, is often a small, thoughtful gift that only you and the
receiver understand the significance of (think inside jokes, stories,
or circumstances). To the Japanese, the symbolism of a gift is carefully
pondered. For example, gifts in pairs are considered lucky, whereas
quantities of four or nine of something are unlucky and always avoided.
Think about your own personal customs, symbolism, and beliefs in
selecting well-intended presents.
Wrapping Your Gift with Care
Each step of giving is an art, but none so more recognizable to other
cultures as the beautifully wrapped parcels from Japan. The way in
which the object is wrapped is sometimes much more important than the
gift itself. Often, Japanese men and women will have their gifts wrapped
right in the department store, where trained staff delicately and
expertly fold rice paper and mizuhiki craft cord
into a work of art. For you, this is where you may let your artistic
flourish shine! The aesthetic quality of the covering is crucial; wrap
your gift carefully, beautifully, thoughtfully. Never give an unwrapped
Presenting the Gift to Your Recipient
When it comes time to hand over the precious item, Japanese custom
demands an attempt to do it privately, discreetly, and without much
attention. About-face is very important in Japan, and it could be
horribly embarrassing and uncomfortable for the receiver to be presented
with a gift they don't care for in front of others. The giver is also
expected to be very humble, passing off their offering with both hands
and acting as though the present is no big deal, just a small trinket,
nothing special… regardless of the quality or expense of the product.
Humility and kindness in giving transcend into other cultures as well;
you are extending a part of yourself and your heart in these
transactions of generosity.
Appreciating Gifts You Receive from Others
The final step in the careful dance of Japanese giving is, of course,
receiving the gift. It is unspoken law that if you give, you shall
receive… and that if you received, you need to turn around and give
back. Sometimes the process can become an ongoing competition of each
party giving back a gift that was better than the last they received.
But of utmost importance is the appreciation, the respect, and the
gratitude for the thoughtfulness of another person. The gift is to be
received with both hands, just as it is given, and contemplated.
Japanese men and women will observe the beautiful precision of the gift wrapping,
unbinding the gift ever so carefully so as not to tear or cut the
enclosure, and then carefully wrapping it back up as if it had never
been touched. This is a lesson we teach our children, to open things
slowly to show appreciation, and one that should be repeated by
ourselves. Enjoy your present, ask questions about it, and ponder in
your mind how lucky you are to be blessed by another's altruism.

We apologize for the inconvenience this can cause, but we are growing our staff as fast as we reasonably can. We appreciate all our customers, and hope everyone can understand.

Also, even though an item says "in stock", it is not. This classification is the only way to allow an order to be taken for that item. If it were to say "out of stock" you could never add it to your cart. We are working to rectify this. All of your items are hand made, and will require time to produce.

Tamiflu, also known by its generic name, oseltamivir, is an antiviral drug used for the treatment of influenza. It works by slowing down the rate at which viruses infect cells. However, in common with other antivirals, Tamiflu does not eliminate the flu virus from the body, rather it slows its progress. Tamiflu needs to be taken early in the infection cycle in order to be effective. Tamiflu is one of several antiviral medicines for the treatment of flu on the market.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Relenza, also known by its generic name, Anamivir, works by attacking the flu virus and limiting its spread around the body. In addition, Relenza may stop patients from getting the flu if taken before flu symptoms surface. According to the website of the Food and Drug Administration, Relenza is approved treat people 7 years of age and older who have flu, and can be also for the prevention of flu in people over 5 years of age 2. Relenza is supplied as a powder for inhalation through a special device called a Diskhaler. Relenza should not be used by people who have asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. As the Relenza powder contains lactose, it should not be used patients who have lactose allergy. Side effects of Relenza treatment include nausea, nasal irritation and cough.
Flumadine, also known by its generic name, rimantadine, is an antiviral drug approved for the treatment and prevention of flu caused by influenza virus A. It is approved for the treatment of flu in in adults over 17 years of age, and for the prevention of type A flu infection in children ages 1 to 16 years.

Other side effects may include nausea, rash and unusual tiredness.
Symmetrel is the brand name for the antiviral drug, amantadine hydrochloride, approved for the treatment and prevention of flu 5. According to Drugs.com, the mechanism by which Symmetrel exerts its antiviral effects is not fully understood by it may prevent virus assembly during viral replication 5. Symmetrel is only active against influenza virus A. Symmetrel may have serious adverse effects 5. Drugs.com notes that Symmetrel has been linked with an increased risk of suicide even in patients who have no previous history of mental illness 5. The reason behind this is not understood.

I'm always going somewhere to show or play some flutes and needed something better than a cardboard box to lug around. Finally got around to making one over the holidays. The top is 1/4" birch ply. The sides and ends are Red Oak edged with Walnut. Protective strips across top are Bubinga and across bottom are Maple. Handles sewn with 1/2" rope inside for shape and carrying comfort. It opens 180 degrees and lies flat. The bottom is custom fitted for three flutes while the top is open for more flutes in 'flute bags'. Leather straps hold the flutes in the top half while opening/closing case. The keepers on top of the three bottom flutes have two rare-earth magnets embedded in them and two mating magnets in the bottom flute cradles, on both sides of the middle flute. They seem to stay in place fairly well. Hope to find a piece of nice red velvet to fully line the case with in the near future. Corners are just butt-joints with 3/8" through dowels. Really need to find some nicer latches too. Finish is multiple coats of Watco Danish Oil. I didn't want a surface finish on something that will surely get a few scratches and dings along the way.

Thanks all for the great feedback. The dowels are birch by the way, sorry there's no shot of the end. And a special thanks to Max for the great shots he took in his studio so I would not have to set my photo equipment up in my unheated 'man-cave'.

Imagine the impact on geopolitics if the United States was no longer dependent on energy sources that often come from politically unstable regions of the world. During the latest installment of The National Conversation series, a panel of experts discussed the possibility of America freeing itself from dependence on foreign energy. Afterwards, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Daniel Yergin provided additional commentary on the topic.

Enter SpaceSaver Vacuum Storage Bags - Jumbo Size (found on Walmart.com) - Can we say huge? Yes these things are huge right out of the package. I'm not a small person in size and I'm 5'6" in height and these are half my size, yes half, crazy. Anywho, as you can see the bags are clear and have neat instructions on them. Yes, the bags actually have instructions right on them, love it. Never fails when I get anything my kids take it out of the package before I can find the instructions, not this time! Genius! The package you receive has six (6) bags and has one hand pump for anyone that doesn't have a vacuum to get the air out. Each bag has a clip to help seal it as well as a valve for keeping the air from getting back in. The material is more than just a standard zip bag, it's rather thick and has some sturdiness to it.
What I started with was a tote, the clear box, full of clothes that my toddler has grown out of. Completely full and ready for storage, except I had no where to store it. I took the clothes out and put them into this one bag. There is a "stop" line on the bag so I knew where to stop filling it at and it filled almost up to that line. After sealing it, which was very smooth, and using a vacuum to pull the air out I was able to store the same exact amount of clothes in 1/8th of the space. I'm super excited.
Anyone looking for a space saving technique that won't break the bank, this is it. Also, unlike other bags I've tried this one doesn't leak. Great investment and great product.
Here is me, in all my glory (snowman pants and all, can't get more real than that) using the bag for the first time.

Reading Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's brand new issue of Batman, you'd think they've been doing this for the whole of their lives. They've created a look and feel for Batman that seems iconic and old, but all at once their own. From the opening pages of Batman #13, you get the feeling that something isn't right, it has that unsettling gravitas that only one force in Gotham can conjure: The Joker.
Absent as a central villain in DC's New 52, Batman #13 propels Joker into the spotlight once again. And it's lethal, scary, and unsettling.
And it's supposed to be.
This Joker is one so uniquely Scott that it's not fair to compare it to others. It has the whimsy of Mark Hamill's Joker (though Scott tells me it's his secret fanboy dream to shake Mark Hamill's hand, not just because of the fact that he's Luke Skywalker, but because he created one of the best Jokers in Batman's history.) Scott's Joker has the calculated chaos of Heath Ledger's Joker, and even some of the cool confidence of Jack Nicholson's.
This Joker is incredibly fun to read, but nerve-wracking at the same time. What horror is going to befall my beloved heroes?
In an interview last week, Scott explained to me about how be became interested in the family Batman has accumulated and how, "as a sort of father, he's vulnerable and frightened for their safety. And I thought to myself who would be the most frightening in that situation. That's Joker. Joker is about that thing that looks at you and knows what you're afraid of and knows how to exploit it."
The last time I interviewed Scott about Joker, he told me something about his take on the Joker that I think still resonates: "I think Joker works best as a demon on Bruce's shoulder. He's bringing horrifying things to life for Bruce..."
And reading this issue, it's true. Knowing that Snyder and his team seem to have carte blanche in the Bat universe, I'm starting to become very afraid for some of my favorite ancillary characters in the Bat-universe. I'm most terrified for Tim Drake, former Robin, current Red Robin, who isn't headlining his own book. Reading this first issue, it feels clear that no one is safe, and Joker has a habit of taking out Robins. In fact, the title Death of the Family hearkens back to my favorite Batman story, Batman: Death in the Family, which is about the time Joker beat Jason Todd, the second Robin, to death with a crow bar and blew him up.
Bad things are going to happen and I'm not sure I can handle it. Even just thinking about it as I write this piece I'm getting uneasy.
But that's really a testament to the team working on the book. Scott brings a tremendous literary quality to the writing, showing us what Batman is made of by doing the most horrible of things to him. Greg Capullo is giving us some of the best pencils in his career, and FCO Plascencia is doing the most atmospheric colors of his life. Speaking of the rest of his crew, Scott told me that he's "honored to be working with this art team. Batman has never been as richly imagined."
I agree with him.
This is a book you need to read. Whether you're a fan of comics or not. If you're a fan of good storytelling and can buy into the conceit that a man dressed as a bat can make a difference in the world, then there's no better book for you than this one.
Batman #13 hits comic book stores on Wednesday.

Directing Workshop Aims to Increase Diversity in the Studio System HBR Media Team March 11, 2016 Programs/Competitions Warner Bros Pictures announced that the studio will be launching the Warner Bros. Emerging Film Directors Workshop next month in efforts to address the diversity issue in Hollywood. This incubator aims to give access to underrepresented talent, and will to showcase their work to the film community after a nine-month intensive fellowship at Warner Bros. Five filmmakers will be chosen for the class. The WB Emerging Film Directors Workshop provides an opportunity for emerging filmmakers to gain an education and experience in the studio filmmaking process. Through the program, the Studio will also have the opportunity to continue its tradition of working with and nurturing the talents of the best emerging filmmakers. Over the course of the program, each participant will have the resources and funding to produce their own original short film. The entire production process will be structured to mimic the feature production process, so that participants have the opportunity to craft their stories utilizing every aspect of studio filmmaking, from pitch to post. Enrollment is open to all candidates. In the workshop, participants will pitch, write, or work with a screenwriter, and develop a script for a short film that's three to 10 minutes long and budgeted at $100,000. Once they have a final script, filmmakers will work with physical production to prep, create a budget, cast, shoot on the lot and edit with a full post production process. Warner Bros. will cover all production costs and salary for filmmakers for the duration of the fellowship. At the end of the workshop, participants will screen their film in a film festival that will be held for agents, managers, producers and film executives. Participants will also be partnered with a Warner Bros. Pictures executive mentor as they work through the entire film production process, from pitch to final cut and premiere. Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production at Warner Bros. Pictures, came up with the plan and spearheaded the program, which has been in development for about two years. "Our Emerging Film Directors Workshop continues Warner Bros.' commitment to being the industry's most talent-focused studio. There are so many bright, creative individuals at the threshold, who just need access to bring their vision and voice to a bigger audience. By providing that access, as well as a professional network and funding for a short film, Warner Bros. will play a small part in developing the next generation of great storytellers, whether they work in film or television, at our studio or elsewhere." – Greg Silverman Comments comments

This is a guest post from Glen Allsopp of PluginID. Glen is just 19 and yet has already earned much success and respect as a blogger and web entrepreneur. He's a great example of someone who defines his own unique life path and works hard to achieve it.
I quit my job in February 2009 after working for an internet marketing company for almost a year and a half. I had been building websites for around 3 years prior and after a lot of trial and error, was finally earning enough to replace the income from my job.
The last 7 months have been nothing short of amazing. I get to wake up when I want, go to the gym when it's quiet, and even book 6 month holidays (without praying to have a job when I get back). And if that's not enough, I spend my time in an industry full of awesome people and one with unlimited income potential.
While it's great, and I absolutely love what I do, there have been some very important lessons to learn on the way. Without a lot of life experience behind me at the age of 19, the last half-year has been both exciting and scary at the same time. Today I want to share the lessons I have learned so anyone hoping to get in a similar situation or people who are self-employed can hopefully benefit from my experiences.
Bank in the Bank
Without a doubt, the most important lesson I've had to learn is to bank in the bank. By this I simply mean that you shouldn't be focusing on how much money you have or can spend, until it's actually sitting in your bank account. I make a lot of money via affiliate marketing, so can log into multiple accounts online and see how much I am expected to be paid.
In some cases, I would spend money before I actually had it or feel safe about paying bills because I knew it would arrive. I received a nice shock one month when some of the leads (buyers) I had sent a company were marked as fraud and I 'lost' thousands of dollars. Thankfully I was able to recover, but one time I might not have been so lucky.
No matter how you make your money, wait until it is actually sitting in your bank before your spend what you don't have.
Never Stop Goal Setting
In any economy, never mind the awful financial situation the world is in right now, leaving your job has to be one of the ultimate goals. Of course, that is leaving your job and replacing it with some form of self-generated income. Once you've climbed this massive peak though, it can be easy to sit back and relax.
I have enough money to live on my own, have a few holidays a year and party with my friends, so it's easy to remain content. If you do that though, you might even find the thing that is making you money now takes a turn for the worst. It took me a few months to realize that if I don't constantly set big (but achievable) goals for myself then I just stagnate.
Now I'm focused on things like:
- Making 'X' amount of money per month
- Growing the biggest blog in my niche
- Working towards helping other people quit their jobs as well…
…and so on. You definitely have to incorporate challenges that motivate you when there is no boss to answer to.
Pay Yourself First
If you've read any financial books, you may have come across this lesson before. It implies that instead of focusing on your bills, and groceries, and other places that your money goes, make sure that you give yourself a good salary before paying for anything else.
The premise is that if we just focus on getting bills out of the way and settling with whatever is left in the month, we won't go very far. Instead, if we have the money we need and then have to really hustle for the rest of it, we can make much more.
For example, if I asked you to raise $5,000 this month which could not be borrowed, you may think you couldn't do it. Yet, if your child / partner / parent was in hospital and needed $5,000 for surgery, then you would very likely find a way.
Take Responsibility
I was a fairly successful freelancer for 2 years before I started building my own profitable websites and products. This means that I was working for myself but instead of having a boss to answer to, I had lots of clients. There were times when I didn't have much work to do and I would cruise through my tasks, sometimes happily leaving things until the end of the month before starting on them.
Of course, just like banking in my head, this soon caught up with me. Just as you're responsible for your own mission to leave the rat race, you're responsible for what you do to stay out of it. If you slack off because you don't have a boss or a 7am alarm clock, then you might find yourself begging for your old job back.
Working for yourself and working on what you love is absolutely fantastic, but you must take responsibility for what you have to do to remain successful and not get carried away with the benefits this lifestyle can provide.
Over to you: If you've left the rat race already, what lessons can you share?

Antibiotics Usage
Antibiotics can really help us when needed. However, they are not always the solution to our sickness. It can even harm us when we use them inappropriately. Some people are allergic to penicillin thus; it may be harmful to their body if they ingest amoxicillin.
Most of the antibiotics today have two names: one came from the manufacturer of the drug and the other is its generic name, a name taken from its chemical composition.
You can distinguish the two by the first letter of its name. The capitalized name is usually a trade name whereas the non-capitalized name is its generic name.
We get infected because of bacteria, fungus and viruses.
If we have an illness due to bacteria like strep throat, antibiotics can ease and cure the infection. However, if the illness was due to viruses like colds and flu and fungus like ringworm, antibiotics will have no effect.
Thus, ingesting antibiotics for these diseases is pointless and costly. It may also produce antibiotic resistance bacteria. This means that the more we take in antibiotics inappropriately, the higher the chances of the bacteria to develop resistance to antibiotics.
Antibiotic resistant bacteria are also known as super bugs due to the reason that a regular dosage of antibiotics cannot kill them. These bacteria can be dangerous because they can easily be passed within your family and friends. They can cause illnesses that are complicated and expensive to cure. Unfortunately, some illnesses caused by these bacteria are untreatable.
There exist such antibiotics which can serve only in treating infections induced by special kind of bacteria. Though there are also antibiotics, that greatly cope with a number of bacteria. Antibiotic medicines are not a means for treating the whole list of infection contaminations induced by bacteria.
Among bacterial contagions, that can be cured with antibiotic drugs, can be named otitis, inflammation of the lungs or sore throat. Doctor determines, whether you need antibiotic course or not, and if so, which exactly antibiotic will be the best for you, in accordance with the raction you have and to the clinical analyses.
When you are prescribed any type of antibiotic medication, remember to consult to your doctor about the whole range of actions that may occur while taking antibiotic medications. Most common side effects of antibiotic treatment can be stomach-ache, diarrhea and sickliness.
Also there exist situations when people suffered from allergic responses, such as tingling or exanthema, but sometimes there were troubles like heavy breathing. If while using antibiotic treatment, you have any of side effects, urgently consult your general practitioner.

How to Talk in English with Friends? One of the best ways to practice speaking a language like English is by simply talking and talking and continue talking like there is no tomorrow. This effort of continuously talking will become a habit. Eventually, you start thinking in the English language, no longer thinking in your own native tongue.
When learning anything, all the teachers will tell any student that the only way to perfection is through continuous practice. If you are learning to speak English, then the best way would be to continue practicing by talking, reading and writing. Here's how!
-> Learn English through movies with English subtitles <-
Talk, read, and write
That is how you do it. No other way to it. You just have to take it at face value. You cannot practice by thinking your way through it, and you have to actually do it. Dreaming of practicing will not help improve your skills, especially the English language.
You, as the learner, have to understand that the English language is not altogether a pure language when it is spoken. One of the purest languages is the Basque language, and that is not English. English has been influenced most specifically by several other languages. The language that we now know as English is not the language of Shakespeare, Wordsworth or even Chaucer. How do I know? Just read their works and you will find that a lot of the spellings are different, the uses of the words are also different and definitely the grammar is different.
-> Learning English Through Watching Television <-
When you talk to your friend in English, you will be using the modern English, American, not British. Talk to your friend in English and even if they answer in your native tongue, just keep going and answer in English. However, you have to inform them the why of your actions or they will feel that you are insulting them. Once they know that you are practicing, they will actually practice with you and even learn from you.
As long as you keep speaking it, you also have to learn from books and other media to help improve your grammar and vocabulary. Going back to the classics, this you can eventually go to after you have acquired more skills. Once you have done so, one of the best ways to improve your grammar and vocabulary is through the classics.
Little practice
If you really want to talk in English, all what you need is a little practice. And by practice we mean Talking to Your Friends in English! Yes, this is for real – talking to your friends, who you can trust and definitely they will help you to undergo some language barriers at the very beginning! Truth is – first steps in speaking in language which is not your native – is a struggle, but if you really want to do this, you can do it!
-> Learn English through movies with English subtitles <-
Why talking to your friends is very important if you really want to speak in English fluently? Firstly – your friends are those, who are trusted by you. So, you expect from them to help you and they will. Even if you do some language mistakes, they do not laugh at you – they do correct you or explain things whenever you make some mistakes.
Try hard to talk to your friends like English is your native language, try to express all your thoughts, intentions, opinions – talk, but also carefully listen to their reply. This will help you in listening with comprehension additionally. If you do not fully understand, what your friend means, just ask in English – explain in different ways – till both of you agree that you really understood each other. You need to put some effort but – this effort will be truly beneficial in future, when you start talking to people from different countries or Brits themselves.
Fluent English speaker
The step, when you know that you are on a very good way to become fluent English speaker is a moment when you do not only talk in English, but even you think in this language. This is huge mile step towards your language improvement! While you are learning in any school, many times you perhaps have heard from your teachers that practice makes master and continuous effort is driving us to aim out goals and perfection. And nothing is closer to truth than this saying! So, when you start talking in English to your friends – keep it up and try to do it as many times as you can!
But what, if you are just starting learning English and expressing your thoughts is at this stage very, very hard? Well, take a deep breath and start from naming the things that are around you. Start from the simplest words, common sentences, questions, answers. Continue your work by talking, reading and writing. Remember – just three letters: TRW – standing for Talk, Read, Write. This is how you can do it!
There is no other way which could lead you to perfection and aiming your language targets! Dreaming is cool, can also be a motivation for you but only and only if your real intentions are to be better and better in English language field. And, of course, you keep talking in English and converting your thoughts into actions. Just imagine – you, a person who can speak fluently in English with everyone, asking about anything, answering about anything, earning good salary in future.
Transform all your wishes into reality
Sounds like very well projected not so far from now future, does not it? Help your dreams a little bit and transform all your wishes into reality and begin with your closest people around you, your friends, who would not scare you from using other language every day, in every situation, with or without occasion!
At the beginning, you see – you are a learner. And as a learner you must understand that English is not at all such pure language when spoken as you believe before you start making conversation with the Brits! I will tell you a secret – one of the purest spoken languages is the Basque language.
Do you know where this language is being used? Well, in a region between two countries – Spain and French, but the Basque language is far away from either French or Spanish. To compare, English language has been influenced by so many languages that current form of English is different in the United States of America, Australia, the United Kingdom, or Canada. Well, actually, different versions of spoken English language are also in various regions of any of these countries. Actually, among different nations because of the accent and some proverbs, sayings used by different ethnical groups living for a long time now in countries where English is treated as official language.
Read Shakespeare, Wordsworth and Chaucer
Can you imagine that the language everyone is speaking nowadays has nothing to do with the language used by Shakespeare, Wordsworth or Chaucer? If you need a proof to believe in what I am saying, just get a book any of the mentioned above authors, read their works and you will find that spelling is different, words are currently used in completely different meaning, well – even grammar is not the same anymore.
So, talk to your friends in English and you will realize pretty soon that the language you speak to them in is not old-fashioned version, but modern and used nationwide one. Actually, perhaps you will speak in not British, but American (quite simplified) version of English.
Even if your friends do not speak this language, you still can keep them asking about various things or reply for questions. The thing is to keep practising. Of course, remember to explain them why you want to answer or ask about anything in English, not in your mother tongue. However, if you really want to have someone who could truly improve your skills, then you can find some friends from different countries using popular social medias. There are many groups of young people who willingly and for free want to exchange some skills, especially languages.

The INSIDER Summary:
- Kristofer Hivju plays Tormund Giantsbane on "Game of Thrones."
- Hivju just uploaded a behind-the-scenes video of himself and fellow actors singing a love song on set.
- The "Brotherhood without Banjos" is made up of Iain Glen (Jorah), Richard Dormer (Beric), and Rory McCann (Sandor Clegane).
- The video is a sweet reminder of how great this cast is.
Kristofer Hivju plays the tough-as-nails Tormund Giantsbane on "Game of Thrones," but his Instagram feed is full of joyous videos and selfies.
In a new video, Iain Glen (Jorah), Richard Dormer (Beric), and Rory McCann (Sandor Clegane) all sing a love song while playing guitar and ukulele.
"BROTHERHOOD WITHOUT BANJOS," Hivju wrote in the caption. "This is our latest hit 'Anthem over season seven end.' On Guitar [Iain Glen]! On the ukulele [Richard Dormer], and choir Mr. [Rory McCann] and myself! Our new album is called: 'What will fate bring us???'"
Hivju already treated fans to a video of McCann singing a song while playing the ukulele, so this new video confirms that these gentlemen really did have the most fun on set.
Earlier in the week, after the season seven finale aired, Hivju posted a selfie with Dormer. Both of their characters' fates were left slightly ambiguous. But don't worry — we rewatched the scene and found clues that point to them surviving.
This new video is just one of many fun behind-the-scenes social media posts the cast has been sharing. Gwendoline Christie (Brienne) uploaded a smoldering selfie of herself and Kit Harington (Jon Snow). And of course we can't forget Emilia Clarke's amazing video of Harington pretending to be a dragon with his heavy cloak.
Never miss a new "Game of Thrones" selfie or video by following these 13 stars on Instagram and Twitter.

Have you ever seen those programmes and films from the '50s and '60s that were concerned with how we would be living in the future? Futuristic cities in the sky, hover cars, and jet packs. Lots and lots of jet packs.
EUR, a southern suburb of Rome is a bit like that.
But perhaps a bit more fascistic.
Planned and begun under Mussolini as the intended site of the Esposizione Universale Roma, a world fair to celebrate the beginning of the Fascist era. Designed as a modern echo of the ancient city, construction began in 1939 but was abandoned due to the entrance of Italy into the second world war. Works stopped in 1942 and the site was more or less abandoned until the 1950s, when the authorities recommenced building works with the intention of creating a new business district for modern Rome.
Although it has had its ups and downs, the recent renovation of some of the buildings has resulted in a resurgence of interest in the area.
I was visiting on a Saturday and, in the usual way with business districts, the area was half deserted. I did run into little clusters of people around particular buildings and there was constant traffic on the main road but many of the streets and piazzas were completely devoid of people. This made me think of those futuristic but bleakly apocalyptic films in which all the people disappear due to alien invasion or as the result of human folly.
My initial interest in the area was because it's where the Museo Nazionale dell'Alto Medioevo, the medieval museum, is situated. In a city with so many sights, museums and historic buildings, this museum seems to get a little overlooked, possibly due to its location away from the tourist centre. The museum concentrates on the period from the late-antique to the medieval; 4th-14th centuries and contains a range of religious, household, military and decorative objects.
I'm not going to post lots of photos from the museum here, I'll link a separate post later because the collection is really worth a look. It's only about 20 minutes on the metro from Termini and a short walk to visit this museum so do make the effort if you can. It's worth it.
When I left the museum I headed west to have a look at some of the fascist-era and other 20th century buildings. Many of the buildings, open spaces and public art have been designed as a sort of echo of Rome's ancient imperial and renaissance past. So buildings are arcaded; there are curving colonades; there are monumental statues, friezes, mosaics, pools and fountains.
Materials used in construction are mainly travertine marble, granite and tuff, giving the area a gleaming whiteness, echoing ideas of classical purity (though not the more colourful reality of the ancient world).
Right next to the museum, in the middle of the, frankly, lethal road*, the Via Cristoforo Colombo, is the Obelisco di Marconi. Built in 1959, for the 1960 Summer Olympics, this obelisk is decorated with scenes from Marconi's career and achievements.
Just along the road is the Piazza dell Nazione Unite. Begun in 1938 but not completed until 1952, this consists of two large semi-circular arcades on either side of the main road,
On the external walls are these high relief panels.
Quite a bit of this was boarded up when I visited and it looks, generally, like a number of the buildings are either in the process of, or waiting for renovation.
Next I walked over to a really nice, relaxing, cooling spot by the Salone delle Fontane, there are these cool lines of water fountains, flanked with near-spherical bushes. It's all very very architectural but with just enough greenery to soften its edges.
In the pool there are mosaics, mimicking the monochrome mosaics seen at Ostia Antica. These are, unfortunately, quite faded and difficult to photograph, but you can get at least an idea of how they look.
This one looks like a map of the area.
Standing in a wooded area nearby, the Parco del Ninfeo, is this statue of a youth, apparently called 'The fields are redeemed'.
This statue is interesting because, even though it's a modern rendition, it looks like the sculptor has consciously mimicked the look of a bronze statue created using the lost-wax technique.
The building here is the Palazzo degli Uffici di EUR and the entrance at the end of the fountained pool is flanked by this monumental bas relief panel by Publio Morbiducci; 'The History of Rome through its buildings'.
This is a really interesting artwork, taking modern Rome and mixing it with its ancient counterpart, presenting them as the same. It shows events, building works, industry, notable people; it's like Mussolini's very own 'Trajan's column'.
And so to the really iconic building of EUR; the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, also known as the Colosseo Quadrato (Square Colosseum).
Designed in 1937 by Giovanni Guerrini, Ernesto Bruno La Padula and Mario Romano, the building works were begun in 1938 and finished in 1943 but, due to the cancellation of the trade fair, the building remained empty for over a decade. It has been used on and off over the years since 1953 but its latest incarnation is as the headquarters of the Italian fashion house Fendi.
It sort of echoes the tiers of regular arches on the Colosseum and the ground level is lined with classical-esque statues and flanked by sculptures. The inscription at the top of all four sides is taken from one of Mussolini's speeches, made on 2 October 1935: "Un popolo di poeti, di artisti, di eroi, di santi, di pensatori, di scienziati, di navigatori, di trasmigratori", trans: 'a nation of poets, of artists, of heroes, of saints, of thinkers, of scientists, of navigators, of migrants'.
Fendi has restored the building to it former glory and hosts public exhibitions as part of its programme of 'giving something back'. Fendi has also funded the renovation of several other sites in Rome, including the Trevi Fountain.
The ground level of the building is populated with 'classical' statues, emphasising Roman virtues such as industry, commerce, invention and so on, again emphasizing the connection between modern and ancient Rome
And so I spent a short afternoon in EUR. Not enough time at all, as there was much more to see, but it was good to at least have a brief look at the area. As so much of this trip was spent looking at ancient Rome, this area provided a really interesting counterpoint.
EUR can be reached by taking the Metro, Line B south from Termini or the historic centre. I got off at EUR Fermi for the museum. There are also plenty of buses from other parts of the city.
* there are several roadside shrines attesting to the lethal nature of this road.

AQR in Organisations
Personality can be defined as an individual's characteristic pattern of thinking, feeling, and acting. Our measures address these key areas of personality around mindset (thinking), attitudes (feeling) and behaviour (acting)
Key to this is Mental Toughness which explains why people and organisations behave the way they do. The thinking element of personality. You could describe mindset as both the pre-cursor to behaviour and the explanation for much behaviour. There is an obvious link between mindset and feeling and acting too. These can also be assessed in specific areas such as leadership style or teamworking with our suite of assessments.
AQR's assessments offer considerable value in helping users to make better decisions about people. In turn this leads to more effective intervention and development.
This is invaluable in any organisation as part of management/employee development and coaching –to help people identify how to be more effective in key areas and to show them how they can develop.
In organisation development assessments can help to identify and develop key aspects of an organisation's culture.
Finally, as an assessment tool in recruitment & selection – enabling better fit to an organisation's culture is a critical area for good job performance.
In addition we offer development programmes which help users attend to development needs which emerge from the use of the models and measures. These can be delivered directly by the AQR team or can be offered in a Train the Trainer format within your organisation.
We can also provide toolkits which include a full range of supporting resources and materials.
In this way AQR provides complete solutions around the assessment and development of mindset, attributes and behaviour.
MTQ48 is a really valuable tool. It certainly makes you think about your performance and positive behaviour – and what you can do about both. We liked the report structure which equipped the manager/coach and the individual with relevant information and practical development suggestions.
I have found the information really useful and I'm sure it will help me to gain a greater insight into my own mental toughness and give me the tools to improve on areas where development is required.
Where can we help you?

I live on 30 acres in northwest lower Michigan. Daily hikes with my two dogs became a pattern in my life. I've always admired the work of Isamu Noguchi and wondered if there was a way to use local materials to create contemporary luminaries out of the materials I had at hand. My favorite part of the process is walking out in the woods each morning and watching the sunlight bounce off branches. Each tree or bush has branches that create unique, beautiful lines in the light. I try to capture that feeling in each of my pieces.
My favorite materials are Birch and Autumn Olive; curiously, pruning them creates even more branches that need to be pruned the next season. I make a frame of branches from just one type of tree, and when I see the frame I can imagine what sorts of handmade paper and colors I might want to use in the luminary. Each frame is doweled together to create a strong piece, the branches are cured for durability.
The handmade papers are made of smashed-up bark and leaves, thin bark soup. Each piece of paper is dried and pressed and may feature bits of bark and leave is the surface of the paper. The papers can be tinted in various colors. Handmade paper originated in the Orient and dates back to 3BCE. Some papers made 900 years ago are still intact.

Video Details
Jose Quevedo has been doing some online shopping for furniture and heads over to see the table that Ely Chaim is selling. Sometimes you have to try out furniture before you purchase it. So, Ely and Jose begin to strip down and test the durability and strength of the table to make sure that it can support two hot muscle men. Ely shows Jose that he knows exactly how to tease, taunt and titillate a man's foreskin. Not only is it the foreskin that Ely knows how to pleasure, but every aspect of a man's cock as he devours Jose's entire cock. Jose wants to test the strength of the table, so he sits on it while Ely stands above him on the table feeding his throat with his long, lean cock. Flipping Ely around, Jose bathes Ely's furry ass with his spit by probing deep within his hole with his wet tongue. Jose cannot stand the temptation any longer and rams his raw cock deep into Ely's bare ass. With each battering thrust pushing deeper and deeper within Ely's pleasure canal his cock grows stronger and harder and floods with pleasure. Jose then moves Ely to the edge of the table on his back, that position that we all know will give us perfect access to that hot ass. Taking full advantage of the table and position, Ely's ass commands and receives the full attention of Jose's throbbing hard cock. Ely is then flipped onto his shoulders, only recommended for the strongest of tables, as Jose goes full force and full depth into that full exposed ass. This position massages Ely's ass perfectly and forces his balls to load and release his thick, milky load all over his hairy chest and ripped abs. Jose grabs onto his pulsating cock and creams Ely's furry ass with his hot load of cum. The table proves to be solid enough that the deal is made and the table is SOLD!

I think that "The Luck Penny" for the purchase of this table would have been Ely`s Rosebud, as a reward. I was expecting to see it at any time, and Jose really worked hard to coax it out of its hiding place. Now ely has no table to get thoroughly fucked upon. ....Maybe he will buy another one ,and re advertise. and give some After sales Service !
However, he could not expect as an attractive customer as Mr. Quevedo again !
Ely Chaim you are such a hot man, i love to see you sucking off that huge man piece of Jose Quevado....Ely Chaim you are such a hot bottom too, taking that huge cock of Jose inside you... Watch this video over and over again, its so hot !!!!! Ely chaim plse come bareback soon Bro !!
Editor bring me more of Ely Chaim, he is such a hot bottom and cocksucker for sure..... Love to watch Ely in those bareback scenes (without condom use) every video he made for your studio, he is my all favorite man at kristen Bjorn Ely Chaim you are the best !!!
Ely's the one for me! Perfecto!

During its 91st Annual Meeting in 2016, the Association of Asphalt Paving Technologists (AAPT) held a successful Leading Edge Workshop on fatigue cracking performance methods for asphalt mixtures. AAPT is looking to build off of this workshop by partnering with the Asphalt Institute to host a three-part webinar series that will provide a foundational understanding of the techniques that have been developed for quantifying fatigue cracking and a comprehensive review of the laboratory and evaluation methods for capturing and describing fatigue cracking. Techniques covered will include energy-inspired, continuum damage, fracture, and healing methods. Tests will include bulk material testing and notch-based testing.
Session Part I: Introduction
- Part I of the webinar series will cover baseline information, including the context and influence of cracking, and the increased relevancy of cracking on asphalt pavements. Next, an overview of basic theories on crack process, damage growth, and macrocracking will be discussed. In addition, information regarding the general approaches of fracture mechanics, energy methods, continuum damage methods, and healing will be provided. This will involve a broad discussion on general issues that need to be faced in each area. Part I will finish with brief information on the topics to be covered in Part II of the series.
Session Part II: Fatigue Cracking Tests for Asphalt Materials
- The second part of the webinar series will provide information on asphalt binder and mixture fatigue cracking tests. For asphalt binders, the repeated loading, double edge notched, and binder fracture energy tests will be reviewed. For asphalt mixtures, the presentation will be subdivided into two sections. The first subsection of asphalt mixture tests will discuss those tests that do not incorporate a notch – including the four-point beam, cylindrical geometry, indirect tension, trapezoidal, overlay, dogbone, and loaded wheel tests. The second subsection of asphalt mixture tests will discuss those tests that do incorporate a notch – including the Semi-Circular Bend, Disk-Shaped Compact Tension, Single-Edge Notch Beam, and the Double Edge Notch Prism tests. Part II will finish with brief information on the topics to be covered in Part III of the series.
Session Part III: Analysis and Interpretation of Fatigue Cracking Test Data
- Part III of the webinar series will present an overview of the three broad categories of fatigue analysis: Energy-Inspired, Continuum Damage, and Fracture techniques as well as details of prevalent analysis methods within these categories. Where possible, comparisons between the techniques, both in technical approach and application will be provided. The series will conclude with a summary of the state of fatigue cracking research and ideas for moving forward.

(written from a Production point of view)

For the past week, my husband has been sick. Not man-cold sick (though I thought so at first) but genuinely sick with a nasty tick-born disease – erlichiosis (look it up!) Poor guy has been wiped out for over a week now and it's been tough to watch him suffer. And while I know this is not life-threatening, and hasn't required hospitalization (thank heavens,) it's been stressful for the whole family.
Fortunately, after nine days, the drugs have finally kicked in and he's turned a corner. Such a relief! I have my husband back.
It was a rough period, during which I realized that:
- I am not cut out to be a nurse
- I don't want to eat dinner if he a) has not prepared it or b) is not with me to enjoy it
- It's awful to feel helpless
- Some doctors are useless; others are fantastic
- A parent's sickness can super scary for kids, except for when they are oblivious to it – which is most of the time
- Household management is a two-person job (read: I do not want to take the trash out)
- Solo parenting is exhausting
- Tending to a sick partner & 2 kids is a full-body workout (I've lost 4 lbs!)
- Sleep is precious
- It's OK to ask for and accept help from family and friends (especially if sangria is offered)
- I worry this is a slice of what life will be like in 20-30 years time as we both age
The good news is that, with the exception of this blip, we have our health. We have our humor. Sickness can test the limits of a relationship and we made it through this episode. I thought I was a bitch most of the time, but my husband seems to think I was an angel.
I'm welcoming the return to normality with arms wide open ….

David was born in Shelby, NC and holds a MA degree from Liberty University, Lynchburg VA in Church Worship.
At the age of 12, David accepted the Lord. Though God had been leading him into music ministry from an early age, David came to know Christ as Lord and Savior and was baptized in the summer of 1971.
David began playing the piano at 4, and began receiving formal training in piano and voice at 7. By 12, he was frequently asked to sing in his local church in Polkville, North Carolina. His musical training continued through graduation from Burns High School in Lawndale, NC in June 1978.
In 1979 David took the position of interim Music Director at First Baptist Church in Davidson NC. Later that year he returned to his home church – Pisgah Baptist in Casar NC – where he was ordained as a Deacon. In 1982 David accepted the position of Music Director at Pisgah, holding this position until he joined the United State Navy in March of 1985.
At recruit training he found himself attached to a special company called the "Triple Threat." This company had a military choir, which David was called upon to lead.
The Lord continued to use him in music ministry when David joined the base choir while attending Hospitalman Corps School.
Stationed at Portsmouth, VA in 1986, David accepted the position of Music Director at Sweethaven Baptist Church in Churchland, VA, a position he held through 1994. While assigned to the Aircraft Carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, David continued to fulfill his duties as music director at Sweethaven. When at sea board the USS Theodore Roosevelt, he served as organist and music director for the protestant, catholic, and Jewish services.
In 1994 David was transferred to Boston, MA and found himself again leading the music and directing the church choir, this time at Community Baptist Church in South Weymouth MA.
In 1997 David and his family moved to Cherry Point, NC. The Carter family visited several churches in the area, and was led to unite their lives in membership with First Baptist Church of Havelock. In 2003, David was asked to serve on the diaconate of First Baptist Church. David also sang in the Sanctuary Choir and later joined the Praise and Worship Team. On August 1, 2006 David was called to be the part-time Director of Church Music at First Baptist Church, the position he currently holds.
David enjoys cooking, gardening, and – most of all – studying the Word of God and sharing his faith with others.
In 1978 he was married to Debra Ann Cook and is the proud Father of Shelly Denice Brana, Kenneth Wayne Carter, and Joshua David Carter. He is the proud grandfather of Brice, Rebecca and Caleb Brana, Austin Carter, and Jacob, London and Kaleb Montanye.
David graduated from Liberty University with a Undergratuate degree (BA) on 24 October 2008 and with a Master of Arts degree through the school of divinity (MA) on 12 May 2012.

Toward the end of this eloquent memoir, Hisham Matar quotes these words, spoken by Odysseus' son Telemachus in "The Odyssey":
I wish at least I had some happy man
as father, growing old in his own house —
but unknown death and silence are the fate
of him…
Mr. Matar has spent his entire adult life grappling with that same sense of loss and uncertainty about the fate of his missing father. Jaballa Matar was a leading Libyan dissident who was kidnapped in 1990 by agents working for Muammar el-Qaddafi, that country's dictator, and sent to the notorious Abu Salim prison in Tripoli. Friends and political supporters risked their lives to smuggle out the occasional letter from him, but after a couple of years, those letters stopped.
The younger Mr. Matar did not know whether his father died in a 1996 prison massacre that took the lives of some 1,200 people; whether he was tortured or beaten to death in some grim interrogation room; or whether, miraculously, he had managed to escape or survive. After Qaddafi was toppled in 2011, Mr. Matar, who had been living abroad in exile, traveled back to his family's homeland to try to find out what happened. This is the story he tells in "The Return."
Mr. Matar is the author of two critically acclaimed novels, "In the Country of Men" and "Anatomy of a Disappearance," which also deal with loss and separation and the shadow of a powerful activist father. Here, in "The Return," he writes with both a novelist's eye for physical and emotional detail, and a reporter's tactile sense of place and time. The prose is precise, economical, chiseled; the narrative elliptical, almost musical, cutting back and forth in time between the near present, Mr. Matar's childhood memories of growing up in Libya, and pieced-together accounts of his father's work as an opposition leader and his imprisonment.
"The Return" is, at once, a suspenseful detective story about a writer investigating his father's fate at the hands of a brutal dictatorship, and a son's efforts to come to terms with his father's ghost, who has haunted more than half his life by his absence. It's the story of Mr. Matar's complicated feelings about his adult life in London: both "the guilt of having lived a free life" and his attempts to use that freedom to petition various governments and human rights organizations for information about his father and imprisoned relatives. And it's a story about exile, about how Mr. Matar; his brother, Ziad; and their mother strove to create new lives for themselves abroad — they fled Libya in 1979 — and about Mr. Matar's struggles to "live away from places and people I love." "Joseph Brodsky was right," he writes. "So were Nabokov and Conrad. They were artists who never returned. Each had tried, in his own way, to cure himself of his country. What you have left behind has dissolved. Return and you will face the absence or the defacement of what you treasured."
This is just one of the emotions Mr. Matar experiences during a return trip to Libya in 2012. There, he talks with relatives and his father's friends, many of whom spent years in prison, where they were tortured and starved of hope and sunlight. He hears about the elaborate methods prisoners used to survive and communicate in prison, and he is given hints of what his father must have endured in Abu Salim. He wonders how his father was changed by his imprisonment, and how he might have been altered or reduced.
The stories he recounts are harrowing. His uncle Hmad, an aspiring playwright, and cousin Ali, an economics student, ended up spending two decades in Qaddafi's prisons. His uncle Mahmoud maintained his love of literature during his 21 years in Abu Salim by jotting poems on both sides of a thin pillowcase that he sewed into the waistband of his underwear for safekeeping. His cousin Izzo, who had been studying to become a civil engineer, was killed by a sniper during the Libyan revolution, and Izzo's older brother, Hamed, was wounded but insisted on returning to the front.
Mr. Matar's visit to Libya in early 2012 occurred during "a precious window" of time when justice and democracy and the rule of law seemed within reach. But things swiftly unraveled as rivalries between heavily armed militias escalated, and the Islamic State gained a foothold in the chaos.
"The dead would mount," Mr. Matar writes. "Universities and schools would close. Hospitals would become only partially operative. The situation would get so grim that the unimaginable would happen: People would come to long for the days of Qaddafi."
Mr. Matar's account of the suffering in Libya — under Qaddafi, and now, in the violent aftermath of the revolution — reads like a microcosm of what the Middle East has experienced as the democratic hopes fostered by the Arab Spring have crashed and burned in one country after another. At the same time, "The Return" stands as a haunting memoir about one family, and one son's Telemachus-like search for his father.

text: We are looking for volunteers to assist with our 11th Annual Allen Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Disaster Simulation Training Exercise. In general, we need volunteers age 18 or older; or scout troop members who are accompanied by their scout leader; or other age appropriate children accompanied by their parents. We are in need of some 60+ volunteers to play two key roles. First, our need is for simulated injured victims of a Tornado complete with used (possibility of never to be used again) clothing that may be ripped and/or stained with injury make-up (moulage). These folks will need assistance to exit our simulated damaged building with follow-up medical staging and initial wound care. Second, is a need for individuals to play the role of what we refer to as "walking wounded". These are individuals who have little or no simulated injuries but will need guidance to exit our simulated damaged building/scene.

text: When traveling, I find that so many of the best moments are those that are unplanned. Perhaps because the lack of expectation erases any chance of disappointment, leaving only room for discovery and adventure. One morning we were navigating hairpin turns along the coast of Northern Ireland, and just ahead, perched on the edge of a cliff, the ruins of Dunlace Castle came into view. "Let's go there!" I exclaimed, and swerved across traffic into the pull-off for the castle. The northern coast was stormy that day, and as we slipped amongst the battered stone walls and towers, the wind and rain whipped through our hair and across our faces. The castle cliff seems to rise straight out of the sea, and we peered through openings in the stone walls, both those meant as windows and those created by time or misfortune. Looking out at the cliffs that stretched out on either side of the castle and listening to the crashing waves below, we wondered if anyone ever slept well living here. Were the howling wind and beating rain and wild crashing waves a nightly menace or a soothing lullaby?

I just wanted to say thank you again for coming along and giving us such an interesting and informative talk. It is always so important and valuable to have a carer's perspective on things.
The feedback from the group was very positive and I for one certainly learnt a lot and your talk made me examine the way in which I interact with our patients who have autism.
A massive thank you for coming on Tuesday. As always, the parents were enthused and inspired by your talk. One parent actually said she felt 'stronger' now and will be trying things that she hasn't had the courage to do
All of our staff were very impressed with you tips and helpful hints, Videos that you were able to pass on to them, Many are using your tips and the strategies given already which is helping our children in school.
We would like to thank you again for all your help and support and look forward to working with you in the future.
I have to say it was easily the most engaging talk I have ever been to- I felt so inspired the way she spoke: it reminded me of why I want to go into teaching and even made me think about a career in SEN. I found myself telling my family, friends and anyone who would listen all the facts I learnt about Autism for the next few days and I know I'll remember a lot of what she said permanently! I could see how it would affect my mindset in the classroom- I loved the way she made her talk so visual, using personal examples and funny stories to show its lighter side. There was no power-point read off from, just her own voice which was so captivating.

Good news - the bathroom remodel should begin on December 5th. I'm glad I didn't agree to have the demo done before Thanksgiving and then have to live with it for 10 days before they came back.
The outside painting and living room ceiling will start tomorrow. We have been hustling to have everything ready for the painters.
The leaves are falling faster than we can pick them up! 16 trash barrels of leaves and pruning bushes away from the house awaiting Monday pickup.
What else we did last week:
- I cleaned out the carport storage room so that the front window storm windows could be put in there when the painters remove them. It is customary in this neighborhood to take them off when selling your house. We aren't a fan as our house will be colder this winter.
- Put some items from the basement home improvement/maintenance stash out for curbside donation. Most went off to new homes. More to do.
- DH cleaned under the back porch where the dryer vents. It was as bad as he thought it would be LOL. He also decided to clip some wires hanging under there and found out one was live! Who leaves a live wire hanging outside a house under a porch? Not us. Add electrician to the list.
- I moved the dog's crate and some other things upstairs so she and I can camp out away from the painters this coming week and then construction for 2 to 3 weeks. I'm trying to think of things to do while I am home "supervising" but with restricted access to parts of the house. Ideas?
You know you are making progress when your to do list is down to less than one page!
