Road Trip to Magnetic Mountain
During the period of designing my Stay Driven T-shirts and releasing my video, things were incredibly hectic - so much so that I was having on average 5 hours of sleep each night, which was causing my skin to break out (wahhh) and my stomach issues to worsen. I knew working so hard was probably not the best thing for my health but I've come to realise that I thrive when things are hectic. I like feeling somewhat overwhelmed, being productive and getting a million and one things done. But at the same time, there always needs to be a balance.
I know my limits and know when to take a break and my body was telling me to slow down. So the past two weeks I decided not to take on as much work as I usually would, and have some down time. It was nice because it allowed me to catch up with my best friends Tammy and Ash before Ash left us for Canada *insert crying puppy face*. We went to this amazing cafe in Castle Crag called Back & Forth and ordered 3 dishes - the deconstructed acai bowl, coconut bircher muesli and the house smoked ocean trout (pictured above). The presentation of each dish was really impressive and the food itself was to die for! I'll definitely be going back for sure!
During the two weeks of down time I was less stressed and my skin sort of cleared up - but my stomach was still causing havoc which was strange as I thought that not being stressed out would make my symptoms ease. Urghhh one day I will figure it all out lol. Since my stomach was making me get into that negative mindset that I hate, I knew I needed to escape so I messaged my little brother Maat to see if he was interested in going on a Sunday arvo drive. He was keen so I got ready, jumped in the skyline and met up with him and Damo (who founded S-Chassis on IG). We then grabbed some E85 for Maat's chaser and headed towards the hills.
The plan was to head towards the mountains after this photo re-appeared on my Facebook thanks to Haylee. The photo was taken back in 2014 on my 22nd birthday after a small group of friends and I (Maat included) went go-karting at Butterfly Farm in Wilberforce, NSW. After we had gone go-karting we decided to suss out this place called Magnetic Mountain which is said that if you stop your car on a particular stretch of road, it looks like your car is rolling up the hill towards you - like it's being pulled by some massive magnet. Of course after hearing about this so called Magnetic Mountain, we had to go and suss it out for ourselves.
2 years on and Maat and I decided to re-visit. The initial plan was to meet Haylee out there but she ended up getting sick so she couldn't make it :(
We got to the spot at around 2:30PM, put the cars in neutral and waited for the magnetic forces to work their magic and within seconds our cars began to roll. The sketchy thing is that it's on a relatively busy road so you have to be ready and on the look out for any traffic. As several cars began to appear, we pulled over to the side and hopped out to say hi to the animals that were on the other side of the fence. I could not believe that just 2 years ago I stood in that exact same spot. It made me realise how much has changed over the past couple of years and how much I have grown as a person.
After reminiscing and playing on Snapchat in the same spot we stood 2 years prior, we jumped back in our cars and headed towards the famous Pie in the Sky to grab a bite. It was the same place Haylee and I stopped at on the way back from our recent road trip. We each ordered our own pies (the plain meat pies are bomb!) and devoured them whilst sitting under the late afternoon sun.
We then headed to a place called Mountain Lagoon via the Bells Line of Road. It was about a 20 minute drive and I was hoping it would take us to a nice open area where I could get some cool sunset photos. When my phone said we had made it to the spot, I was slightly disappointed with the location, so I continued to drive - not realising where the road would take us.
As we continued driving, the tarmac turned to gravel and the road became narrower and narrower. At the time I didn't think it would continue to be gravel road the entire way, so I pressed on with Maat following behind. After about 5-10 minutes of solid driving through the gravel roads which were only becoming worse, the sun started to disappear and I began to freak out. Our cars were not made for this road and through each winding bend, the surface became so unbearable. I began to wonder what would happen if we got stuck!?
It was probably the most sketchiest drive I have ever been on, so we decided to turn around the second we got a chance and head back the way we came. We were losing light fast which meant my chances for getting some sunset shots that I had hoped for were slim.
We pulled over to the beginning of the gravel road and hopped out to check that our cars were okay and for those who were following along on Snapchat at the time, you would have seen my reaction when I hopped out of my car.
My car was practically white. It was covered in so much dirt, I had never seen it so bad. Of course I felt a little bad for my car but at the same time, that's what driving is all about - you can't worry about how it looks all the time and cars are meant to be driven.
After we took a few photos and laughed at the state of our cars, we decided to continue our journey before the sun descended behind the hills.
At this time the traffic was becoming heavy so we pulled over the second we saw a turning bay and hopped out to grab a few photos. I was a little disappointed in myself for not getting the shots I had envisioned but I just had to accept it and remember that there would always be next time. With the sun completely gone, we called it a day and headed back home towards Sydney.
The best thing about going on road trips with friends is that it takes my mind off my stomach issues, gets me away from the computer, puts me back in a positive mind set and allows me to stay driven.

Objective: Reconfigure space in 1960's home to create open kitchen with all new cabinets, appliances, and finishes.
Results: The owners were very involved with this project, in fact choosing all the materials and lighting. The kitchen was demolished, relocating cabinets to allow a visual connection to the family room. We also annexed 6 square feet from an adjacent half bath to increase the width of the hallway and allow for more flow from the front to the back of the home. The size of the kitchen was not changed but the open space creates the impression of more room. An exterior door was removed, wood paneling was replaced with drywall, and all new appliances, cabinets, counters, and tile backsplash are now enhanced with gorgeous, modern lighting.


text: We recruit men of color—particularly black men to explore careers in education. We utilize a formula that tackles the two key factors that keep black men from such a path. As much as 1/3rd of college-bound black men will drop out by sophomore year. Of those who go on to graduation, they are not considering the teacher programs that are available because they do not resonate with them and they are too short and insufficient in preparing teachers that are culturally competent and content strong. We have to concurrently attach them to school, working with kids, and train them to be incredible teachers.

Choosing the right offshore bank account for your business is easy!
How you choose the right offshore bank account is up to you.
We have made it simple to choose the right offshore bank for your business, however, make sure you know what your requirements are in order to be satisfied with your choice.
For someone new to offshore banking and the choose of offshore juridiction it can be overwhelming to get started.
We have made it a little bit easier with our website for you to find out what it's all about and where you get started.
Banking connections
Once you have a shortlist of the banks that you want to go with, it is time to do some research on them. What other banks is your potential offshore bank associated with? Who is the parent bank behind them? Are the reputed? Do they have a solid market reputation?
The parent bank matters as well coz if the same parent bank owns all the offshore accounts you are looking at then it could compound the risk factor. For e.g. say you decided to diversify and safeguard your money by spreading it around a few different offshore accounts that are under the umbrella of the same parent bank. In case the parent bank goes bankrupt, you are looking at losing all of your money. Not a good situation.
All this research is not difficult to do. You can read reviews, ask the agent you are dealing with for more info and then only should you make a calculated decision.
How To Choose The Right Offshore Bank Account?
Maybe the economic conditions in your native country are not the best or maybe the political climate has been on the edge for a while. Whatever may be the reason but you have decided to go ahead and open an offshore bank account in a tax haven.
As exciting as the prospect of that sounds, it is very important to know all about the step that you are going to take before you go ahead and actually take it. Opening offshore accounts is a piece of cake nowadays and this is why you must be extra careful before you make a decision to go ahead with a particular jurisdiction.
A solid system in place
The tax haven that you chose to set base in needs to have a solid system in place. By system we do not just mean a banking system but also a stable socio political system. After all when you are putting all of your eggs in this basket, you better make sure that it is a rather secure basket. On that note, it doesn't hurt if the tax haven that you chose is in decently close proximity to you, in case you need to visit there to see that things are in proper shape.
Consumer protection
When you hear of protection of your rights as a consumer, your mind goes directly to that added privacy that an offshore account provides. While that is definitely one of the big advantages of such accounts and almost all of the banks that provide such services offer solid privacy, consumer protection in this case refers to protection of your financial interests as a consumer.
So before you go stash your money in a particular tax haven, you need to know about the kind of regulations they have in place in the financial industry over there. For instance, do the rules and regulations in place cover your money in case the bank goes bankrupt?
There are no two ways about it. Double and triple check the market conditions and the prevalent regulations in a particular offshore haven before you commit your hard earned money over there.

Where we have served, by God's grace, there has been significant rise in attendance, energy and sense of mission: finding and discipling those that are missing from the kingdom."
My personal vision is, "I am a motivator who intentionally loves and cares for my family, friends and those I meet, so that people are in a vital relationship with God & others."
I like to garden & spend time fishing. Idaho is a great place for both!
Fun Facts: I worked in an industrial setting as a Journeyman Electrician for 16 years. And, I can ride a unicycle.

Renaissance Village
Renaissance Village
"A chief virtue of Renaissance Village is that the filmmakers didn't need to be polemical; the facts were sufficient to make the case, and that's what Chasnoff and his crew rely on. That approach, along with the compelling cast of characters and a dramatic narrative of life lived in extremis, makes this an important addition to the socially conscious documentary." - Bright Lights Film Journal
Renaissance Village is the award-winning, feature-length documentary about the largest FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) trailer park established after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast. The film has screened at ten film festivals, been nominated for and won several awards, and aired on PBS. To watch the trailer, view photos, and learn more, please visit www.rvthefilm.com.

Flattened celluloid doll in paper wrapper : Private W C Davis, 2/18 Battalion
Small celluloid kewpie-style doll with painted face and string-jointed arms and legs. Reverse is moulded with maker's name (Fore ??) and a '3' in a diamond. The doll is wrapped in a small paper parcel which is marked in pencil 'God send you back to us'. The doll's body has been flattened, resulting in the arms and legs (each pair still joined by string) being separated from the body.
Worn by NX40190 Private Walter Charles Davis, born on 18 November 1908 in Walcha, New South Wales. Davis lived in Tamworth with his aunt and uncle, Joyce and Bill, and their three children Ella, Barry and Edith. Enlisting in the army on 4 June 1940, Davis left Sydney on the SS Queen Mary for Singapore on 2 February 1941. When departing, Davis threw overboard a message in a bottle advising his family he was sailing to Singapore on board the Queen Mary, though this message did not reach his family until 1945. Davis served in the Malayan campaign with C Company of 2/18 Battalion, and became a prisoner of the Japanese when Singapore fell on 15 February 1942. Initially interned in Changi, Davis was later sent to Japan as part of J Force. Leaving Singapore on 16 May 1943, Davis arrived in Japan on 7 June and was then sent to Kobe where he worked in the Toyo Steel Mill, loading scrap metal into a blast furnace. On June 5 1945 an American bombing raid destroyed their lodgings, 'Kobe House', and Davis, along with 27 other Australians, was transferred to a camp at Nomachi. Davis, who had been suffering from recurring bouts of dysentery, died on 4 August 1945, eleven days before the end of the war. He was the only Australian to die at the camp in Nomachi. His body was cremated and the ashes were to be returned to Australia, however they were intercepted by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and were interred at the Labuan War Cemetery, Malaysia. Wal Davis's effects (see REL33300, REL34429 and PR03448) were returned to the family and included the fragile celluloid doll, still wrapped in paper and bearing the message 'God send you back to us'. Given the deprivations Davis had suffered, his ability to keep this item in relatively good condition through three years of imprisonment speaks of its importance to him as a touchstone for memories of his family.

Your outfit on any given day is supposed to reflect your mood. It should allow the beholder a peak into how you're feeling and what mood you were in while you got dressed. Well I can't really tell you what mood I was in but I was definitely wishing I could just wear sweats instead.
Its finally happened. I've reached the point where I can't buy new clothes anymore. It's definitely not for the lack of trying, let me assure you. Its because I can't find anything new I like. That I haven't seen a million times on Instagram before. Every store I go to has the same stuff and I'm just tired of looking at it all over and over again. And bored, oh so bored. Think about it, how many people have you seen wearing that top/dress/shoes with the red embroidered roses? And the shirt with quirky patches? Every store has a version of it at this point. So tired of seeing it every where I look.
I get it, everyone wants to wear what's 'in' so the stores have to carry it. But do they all want to wear the exact same thing? I don't think so. At least I hope not. I'm seriously contemplating giving up on new clothes completely and just looking at vintage clothing stores. Please let me know if you know any good ones that'll ship internationally.
Skirt and tee from Forever 21, Shoes from Koovs, Choker from Amazon, Bag from Club Factory
On a more positive note this dilemma has forced me to revisit some things in my closet I'd forgotten I had. And attempt to wear them in different ways. For instance this skirt I've had for a while and even featured it here once.
While I've worn every single separate item in this outfit multiple times (lord knows I've worn that choker enough), I've never put them all together. I quite like how it turned out, very sporty chic even if I say so myself. The downside being that I broke my self imposed 'no black this summer' rule. And I was doing so well too! Ah well it was bound to happen..to be honest I'm surprised I even lasted this long 😀
Let me know if you have any suggesstions for good clothing stores I can peruse. I'm at my wits end. Also do check out our Instagram stories! It's so much fun, and we post all day about what we are up to. We are also on snapchat. Follow us so we can follow you back! And don't forget to come say hi on our Twitter. You can subscribe to our emails for regular updates very time we post, and do like us on Facebook! Till next time 🙂

Obludia is an old-school arcade arena action inspired by classics such as Robotron or Smash-TV with RPG elements. Slay the Evil! Full Game Features - 50 levels full of thrilling action! - 8 Deadly weapons and Nice Spells! - Old-School arcade gameplay - Local co-op: Play single player or together with a friend! - Xbox360 gamepad support - Destroy Hordes of monsters like: Zombies, Skeletons, Spiders and more. - Fight with 5 powerful Bosses. - Avoid Dangerous traps - Save the Princess (she is not princess... be careful) - Level Up your little hero and collect many Special power-ups! - AND MUCH MORE!
Not bad for an alpha. Pretty fun. Nice graphic design (childlike) and decent tunes. Needs more in terms of gameplay.
Cons:- limited weapons and items, some are not so practical.
- not much replay value
- chests with gold are not very rewarding, compared to the rarity of keys, i don't really see the benefit of that mechanic.
- the time between death and starting a new game needs to be shortened, I don't want to add my name to the board every time I fail.
buy it because in near future become moreeeee powerfull,we want it on steam also
As far as Alpha goes, this is pretty damn enjoyable, I like the dog there so I don't have to run around and pick up every single gold piece on the ground. Shooting is easy and I like the variety of enemies, before you can say "oh these again" you get to a different area with whole new enemy types. Some areas are challenging at the begining and you really have to watch out to not get overwhelmed by enemies.
For what the game lacks or need more of
Upgrades, I really would like to see more of them. Faster Running, shots that reflect from the walls a few time, faster shooting and I think that's it. Of course there's this leveling up after each boss but now I am talking about the pickup upgrades. Maybe acid shots, that hurts the enemies after hiting them, split shots that will cause your shots fly less farther but will split in 3 directions etc.
I would like to see more consumable items and pets, like the bat that is flying around and shooting enemies.
I found the game being really easy if I went all demage upgrades in level ups, than I didn't get hit anymore, just a few times.
Add more content and balance the difficulty and this game will be awesome.
I picked this up as of Alpha 1.8 and I think in its current state it was a lot of fun. It felt like the right combination between Robotron, Smash TV and even Binding of Isaac.
The graphics and overall art style are nice, the levels had enough design to keep them from looking bland and only a small amount of the monsters were recycled keeping it from feeling stale. The music and sound were good, but it needs some more variety in sound effects.
Overall it still needs some more content updates and balancing but it was worth the purchase as is for me and worth a thumbs up on Steam Greenlight as well.

Feminist Fare Friday: Edition #16./
This week has been a BU-SY one in the online feminist world. I've read some things that have made me want to pull my hair out, others that had me on the brink of waving my Diversity Bingo card (I didn't) and even more that has made me want to actually jump up and yell. YES!! THIS!! DAMNIT!
In case you haven't already guessed, you're getting the latter in today's edition of Feminist Fare Friday.
1. Laci Green is a very candid, very outspoken, and very refreshing (if sometimes shockingly) frank vlogger and peer sex educator. She hosts a video series on Youtube called SEX+ and her recent video on sexual objectification is a must watch.
2. Sometimes when I read something, I start judging within the first few sentences if I am going to like it or not (just call me Judgey-McJudgerson-it's been done before) and to be honest, I really was not sure about this one. A married with no-kids 30-something takes a week off work to try out being a "housewife". This one has to be taken with a grain (barrel) of white-middle-class-cisgender-privilege, but she does manage to pull it together in the end. At least that is what this "housewife" thinks. And for the record, if anyone ever refers to me as a housewife, I will throat-punch them.
Modern housewife because I have to believe that as women chose to leave the work force and return to the home they are doing so with a plan. The modern housewife is too interested in life to be bored or idle. She no longer wastes time feeling guilty or wondering if her feminist membership is about to be revoked, rather she treats housewifery as a scholarship.
3. Another day. Another article written about the {online} feminism wars and how toxic it all is for everyone. Le GRAND SIGH!
While processing this latest iteration and scrolling through the reactions online, another of my favourite vloggers, Jay Smooth of Ill Doctrine, started retweeting tweets from Latoya Peterson. And then he Storify'd her timeline because she was saying some REALLY, really amazing things that I hope many, MANY people were able to read and really digest. EVERYTHING that she tweeted yesterday, made me think about what it is that I am trying to do as a feminist/activist and for that I thank her!
P.S. I think the tweets above probably work in all kinds of situations. And then I found this gem from the late, great Pete Seeger.
4. File this one under "mansplaining". A man's critique of the #365feministselfie project, has blown UP the closed Facebook group that was created to celebrate and share all our images of ourselves. And while a lot of us have tried to respond to this dude (and to Babble-which pains me to give them the traffic-Grrrr....), the comments on his post are being heavily moderated. So what's a gal to do? Write a poem? Look up a new writer to discuss? Um. NO. One writes a post. Thanks to Darlena at Paretwin for this piece for the Babble dad who thinks he gets to tell us how to DO feminism properly!
Now, I know that, as someone with a penis, hearing that you are wrong will make you flare up with anger for a split second, before you catch yourself and laugh it off with bravado, telling yourself that someone who thinks you could possibly be wrong obviously doesn't know anything.
5. And finally, something that continues to boggle my mind. Gendered products. Trust me, I still get sucked into this marketing madness just as much as the next person. Yesterday, while talking to my kids about colouring, I told L she could use "boy" colours. Immediately C, my seven year old son, corrected me and said, "Mom, there is no such thing as "boy" colours." GAH! Yes, kid, you are so right! So, while I hang my head in shame and without further ado.... 21 things that really do not need to be gendered.
Kung Hei Fat Choy Everyone! Happy Year of the Horse.

Over the past couple of years human trafficking, or "modern day slavery" as it's often called, has been gaining traction in the media.

Fresh, crisp and in season. Naturally, we're talking about Hemline's work for the Memphis Farmers Market (MFM).
In 2005, the newly formed MFM board asked Hemline to help market the market, and we've been getting fresh with MFM for 10 seasons now. In part because of Hemline's work, the MFM has seen dramatic attendance growth year over year; received numerous community awards and most important, has become a beloved community-gathering place.

It's December 7th, and I think Santa had a cookie or two, his stomach is full of shortbreads on the picture.
This is the danish version of a shortbread, called Finskbrød or Finnish bread. I have no idea why the are called so, because they are for sure a danish cookie.
Compared to regular shortbreads these are sprinkled with coarse raw cane sugar and chopped almonds, which adds to the taste and texture of the cookies.
As a child these cookies was one of my favorites. I loved these light and buttery crisp cookies. But for the last 5-6 years I haven't been making Danish shortbreads. Why? I don't know, maybe I have just been focused on trying new cakes?
Having this blog made me go back to the shortbread, and I think they are back to stay.
I somehow lost my moms recipe, but found this great one on Anne au Chocolat's blog.
- 375 g all-pupose flour
- 250 g butter
- 1 egg yolk
- 100 g sugar
- egg white
- coarse raw cane sugar
- chopped almonds
Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃)
Mix flour and butter. I used a pastry cutter to incorporate the butter in the flour mixture. Mix until the the butter resembles wet sand. Mix in sugar and egg yolk. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Roll the dough, a little at a time, into logs the size of a finger. Press the log flat (about 1/5 inch thick). Cut the logs into 1 inch pieces. Transfer the cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 12-15 minutes in the middle of the oven.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

As promised, this is the first in depth look of our January book recommendation All Your Worth by Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tayagi. We'll start this series by taking a look at the "Balanced Money Formula."
Warren and Tayagi's formula stems from the idea that once your money is in balance, you won't have to count every penny and stress out about how you're going to pay your bills, pay off debt, and save for the future. You'll have a lifetime plan that will help you live comfortably and secure your future.
Budgeting is a very tiresome undertaking, and though it's important to financial success, too few people make a budget and stick to it. Often it's because they feel like they don't make enough to do all the things that they need/want to get done. Or they feel like no matter how much they plan their budget, the numbers never work out quite right and they spend too much and save too little. It's easy to get caught up in the negative thoughts while dealing with your spending habits, and the "Balance Money Formula" can help to simplify the budgeting process and help you succeed over the long run.
First, as with any budgeting process, you have to figure out your monthly after-tax income. Make sure you find out your after-tax income, not your take home income. If you have seasonal or variable income, average a few months income together, or take your annual income and divide it by 12 to find out your average monthly income.
Next, you need to figure out your "Must-Haves." "Must-Haves" include all your basic needs: housing costs, food, health care costs, etc. If you need it and it's something that you would pay for if you lost your income, or if it's something that you have a contractual obligation to pay for (excluding credit card debt), it's considered a "Must-Have."
Next, you need to figure out your "Savings." This one is slightly more complicated if you carry a credit card balance from month to month. First, add any monthly contributions you make to a retirement account (averaged for a monthly amount if you make annual contributions). If you have a company match to a retirement account, include that as well (free money!). Next, if you save regularly in any other type of account (college savings, etc.), add that amount in. Also, any payment you make towards your debt beyond the minimum amount due also gets included in the "Savings" amount.
Now comes the trickier part. If you carry a balance (over $200) month to month on your credit card, Warren and Tyagi suggest that you find out how much your balance is changing by taking your balance from 12 months ago minus your balance today and divide the difference by 12. For example, if your balance a year ago was $5,000 and today it's $4,000, your credit card savings would be ($5,000-$4,000)/12 = $83.33 (you are "saving" $83.33 a month on average by paying down debt). Alternatively, if your balance a year ago was $4,000 and now it's $5,000, your credit card savings would be ($4,000-$5,000)/12 = -$83.33 (you are growing your debt by $83.33 a month on average and taking it away from savings). Add or subtract this credit card number accordingly from your other savings. The total of these categories equals your total "Savings."
Warren and Tyagi use this credit card method to show that if you are growing your credit card debt, you are just taking away from what you are saving. So if you are saving $100 a month elsewhere, you are really only saving $16.67. Or if you save $50 a month elsewhere, you actually are saving -$33.33 and making your financial situation worse. It's really a great way to see the impact your credit card debt can have on your future.
"Wants" come last, and they are the easiest to determine. Just subtract your "Must-Haves" and your "Savings" from your after-tax income. Whatever the number comes out to is what you spend on your "Wants." A key point that Warren and Tyagi make is that if your money is in balance, it really doesn't matter what you spend your "Want" money on. That's what it's for, to be spent however you want to.
After you figure out the dollar amount you spend on average a month in each category, divide each by your after-tax income and multiple by 100. This will tell you what percentage you spend in each category.
Warren and Tyagi's "Balanced Money Formula" calls for your "Must-Haves" to be 50%, your "Wants" to be $30, and your "Savings" to be 20%. How do your percentages measure up? What category needs the most work? Next week we'll continue our series and discuss Warren and Tayagi's ideas about making changes where needed to find balance. Again, All Your Worth includes many worksheets and help with figuring out how your percentages add up.

Hacked By Spoucky
The Claretians are a Roman Catholic religious community of priests and brothers dedicated to the mission of living and spreading the Gospel of Jesus—to serving life—in more than 65 countries on five continents.
Our ministries are devoted to social concerns and issues of justice and peace in parishes, foreign missions, and publishing. We are committed to reaching out to all kinds of people specially in the remote areas of the world, in the persecuted areas and many vulnerable situations of the world.
The Claretians of St Thomas are dedicated to the marginalized and the down trodden especially in the tribal belt of Andhra Pradesh and in the diasporas of Syro-Malabar migrants. The Claretians are dedicated to seeing the world through the eyes of the poor. We strive to respond to the most urgent and timely needs, using all means possible to care for the spiritual and material needs of others. We give special attention to youth and families, leadership training, and spiritual renewal. We are actively engaged in the spiritual social and economic development.
The Claretians were founded by St. Anthony Claret in Spain in 1849. A man on fire with God's love, Claret embodied the special charisms of community, mission, evangelization, and spirituality. The flame is a symbol of the passion and zeal that are part of Claret's legacy.

To confirm the certification status of current or potential employees follow this link to access the Certification Verification tool.
MSSC certifications validate the core competencies of new-hires and can also be used to improve and sharpen the skills of existing employees to meet the changing demands of new technologies, new processes and the global market. Employers who have used MSSC as a hiring tool (added MSSC certifications to their hiring practices) have seen reduced turnover, improved teamwork and lower recruitment costs. Employers that use MSSC to amplify the training of existing employees can expect a more agile and productive workforce with a broader understanding of manufacturing and logistics.
"Bilstein was one of the early advocates of the MSSC CPT certification because these candidates are familiar with key manufacturing concepts like safety and quality before they walk through our door. That allows them to be more productive sooner than individuals who do not have the CPT. Our confidence in the CPT certification is such that we offer a premium-starting wage for new employees who have that certification.  I encourage all manufacturers to learn about the MSSC CPT and consider how it might reduce your recruiting and turnover costs."
Tom Barnes, HR Manager for ThyssenKrupp Bilstein, explains the value of MSSC to ThyssenKrupp Bilstein.
"With CLT certified workers, we've seen significant decrease in turnover and increased worker engagement in process improvements."

Desde mi ventana veo cosas y las espío ... después de la lluvia.
Mónica me envió esta hermosa canción que canta Leonard Cohen con letra de Federico García Lorca. "Take this waltz"
Por si no la escuchan va también el video de youtube (si yt quiere)
Now in vienna theres ten pretty women
Theres a shoulder where death comes to cry
Theres a lobby with nine hundred windows
Theres a tree where the doves go to die
Theres a piece that was torn from the morning
And it hangs in the gallery of frost
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws
Oh I want you, I want you, I want you
On a chair with a dead magazine
In the cave at the tip of the lily
In some hallways where loves never been
On a bed where the moon has been sweating
In a cry filled with footsteps and sand
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take its broken waist in your hand
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
With its very own breath of brandy and death
Dragging its tail in the sea
Theres a concert hall in vienna
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
Theres a bar where the boys have stopped talking
Theyve been sentenced to death by the blues
Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture
With a garland of freshly cut tears?
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz its been dying for years
Theres an attic where children are playing
Where Ive got to lie down with you soon
In a dream of hungarian lanterns
In the mist of some sweet afternoon
And Ill see what youve chained to your sorrow
All your sheep and your lilies of snow
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
With its Ill never forget you, you know!
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz ...
And Ill dance with you in vienna
Ill be wearing a rivers disguise
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
And Ill bury my soul in a scrapbook,
With the photographs there, and the moss
And Ill yield to the flood of your beauty
My cheap violin and my cross
And youll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist
Oh my love, oh my love
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Its yours now. its all that there is.

I tweeted this a few days ago and it seems it resonated with many people. I have just felt so uncomfortable in spaces where we are pretending to be cool, or pretending to be farther along than we really are. I crave resonating conversations, belly laughs, and opportunities for true growth. In a time where we are constantly bombarded with interpretations of real life through social media, I think it's more important now, than ever, to surround yourself with authentic, genuine people.
I work in a creative business and my counterpart is in the music industry. These industries are full of fake people. That may be harsh, but unfortunately it's the truth at the end of the day. People lead with what they do and will find their escape if what you do, is not on a level that they think will benefit them. I've seen it happen. We bolster fake smiles and "we should work soons" only to never follow up and awkwardly run into one another at the next event.
I have never seen so many people be so proud to identify themselves by what they do. "Hi, I am such and such and I work for XYZ." But who are you? Really? Do you even know? I've learned that it is so much more beneficial to get to know people as people, first. All these years of networking at events in many ways have been useless. Unless we actually make some type of personal connection, we have probably forgotten more people, than we have made meaningful connections. It's the moments when you find a commonality like "Aw man you went to Central too?" or "I love to write as well, but I've been afraid to get into it." Those are the true and honest moments, when you know that you may actually connect after this encounter.
I heard someone speak recently about how so many people are only focused on what they can get out of a situation instead of what value they may be able to add. And that is so apparent in our interactions with one another. We're only focused on what our dating partners can bring to the table, neglecting what we lack, we want to crowd the information highway with celebrity gossip instead of meaningful banter, and we parade followers and retweets like that's what really makes us whole.
I always wondered why elderly people literally just say anything that comes to their mind and I'm really starting to get it. I am in no way saying I'm elderly. LOL. But the older I get, the less time I have for the bull crap. You don't have to tell me things because they sound good or try to spin me. Lord, I hate when people spin me. I can handle it, believe me. And I want you to be able to handle it as well if I am open and honest with you.
I only want to be around real people. People that actually follow up when they say they will. Those that have learned that vulnerability is really strength. Those that recognize that transparency is the only real way to impact others. And those that are cool because they just are and not because they are trying really hard to be. I don't want to have to Instagram every moment and feel like there is a missed opportunity if I forgot to post. I want to actually experience a concert through the lenses of my strained eyes instead of through an iPhone screen. I want to continue to have in person events, not just webinars, where we can actually feel each other's energy. I guess I want a lot.
Ultimately, I know that the world will never go backwards. We'll never be able to do away with the inauthenticity that the internet and social media has inflamed. But what we do get to do is choose. I get to choose the company I keep and the one requirement in this circle is authenticity. Shoot, my church is called Authentic Life, I have no choice but to be real with you. I hope that through all my writing and various arenas that when you read the words and meet the person that those things line up. I am striving to be a woman of my word, who is also very thoughtful of the words I extend. We are suffocating in phoniness.
When I first saw this quote I am sure that I probably squealed! It was perfect. It was everything that I had been thinking.
I often say that people confuse knowing a lot of people with friends. There is a big difference. I know a lot of wonderful, great people, but there are few I call friends. That circle gets smaller and smaller the older you get. You just want to be on the same wave, on the same page, and be able to fully and truly let your guard down, to be your true self. With no facade, a bare face that is not beat to the Gods or accolades on the tip of your tongue, you want to be with the people who don't even have a thought of those things. Who don't see the stages, or production credits, or site impressions, but just see you.
Heart Check:
Have you found yourself being less than authentic? How were you able to correct it? Did someone else have to call you out on it?

I'm very excited to share this project.
I've been curious about different approaches to designing MIDI controllers. For this first project, I'm focusing on harnessing pitch bend in a more flexible way than a pitch bend wheel, and a more fun way than - God forbid - the pencil tool in your DAW.
Please watch this tutorial and make sure you understand the specs before purchasing. I do not think the Triller is for everyone, but could be an exciting new tool for some.
Arduino based MIDI controller
5" x 3 3/16" x 3"
Communicates via USB
Bus or DC Powered
Can be used to control any soft or hardware synthesizer that speaks MIDI
Does not generate sound on it's own.

June O'Sullivan, Earlyarts Board Member and CEO of London Early Years Foundation (LEYF), shares an experience of a young girls musicality and what we can learn professionally from a rendition of Adele's, 'Someone Like You'.
I popped in to see a friend over the Easter weekend and she invited me to watch two year old Victoria giving a rendition of Adele's, 'Someone Like You' on YouTube. We watched this little girl sing out multi syllable words with great nuance and intonation as she mimicked Adele with aplomb.
Some of us are shocked by this, throw hands up in despair because of our modern habit of treating children as little fashion items as we applause and encourage inappropriate adult and indeed sexualised behaviour all in the name of fun and ooh isn't she cute! We worry why so many children will know the words of the songs from Adele, Rihanna and the winner of the X factor but not the nursery rhymes that will help them achieve super communication skills.
But then I think of Bruner and his book The Culture of Education (1996) and his thoughts about the importance of using the benefits of contemporary culture. Music is part of the fabric of life. How each of us encounters it and participates differs but it all has a profound influence on our musical identity. Contemporary musical childhoods are lived in dynamic and changing cultural contexts with multiple musical traditions.
Little Victoria is like many children under two, strapped into the back of the car and listening to her Mum singing along to the radio or to the words of her favourite song. Rarely, do we actually listen to the words. What we hear is the musicality of the sounds and the way a word rolls off your tongue. Little Victoria has been introduced to lovely multi syllable words like Bittersweet and Remember at two years old. It took me another 15 years to have the same joyful experience when I discovered the silver-tongued Clifford T Ward (1944 -2001). Singing along to him I learned two of my now all time favourite words nonchalant and wherewithal (you will also find him on YouTube).
So what else did I learn from listening to Victoria sing? Well, clearly from the video clip, her parents were influential. They had the kind of empathetic relationship that fed her interest. That's good because parent support is one of the most critical factors in children taking up musical instruments and continuing their musical interest into adulthood.
What else did I learn? Well she enjoyed the experience because when she finished singing she asked if she could to do it again. It's a favourite word and Makaton sign in the baby rooms at LEYF. 'Again!', 'More!', sing out the children when they have been delighted by something. Finding children's interests from the youngest of age is the key to success. They respond well and get excited about learning. When adults support small children you can see them become more confident happy and secure. Trevarthen (2008) in his studies of babies found that infants under one year who have no language still communicate powerfully and constructively with receptive adults.
Victoria's Mum understood her daughter's interest in singing, she set up the opportunity for her to sing and we can only guess that she will encourage this a bit more. If Victoria was attending the nursery, I would hope that the staff relished her interest in music and played different music at different times during the day. By that I mean introduce her to jazz, folk, Froebel's songs from 1843, nursery rhymes, Mozart, world music and whatever is of interest to staff and children. I am not suggesting having Magic FM playing in the background. However, what staff need to understand is with musicality come opportunities to learn new words.
Some years ago I researched the features of good staff working with the smallest children. I found that they needed to be:
- Happy and friendly
- Playful
- Explorers and communicators
- Imaginative and creative
- Interested in the children
- Curious about our environment
- In touch with ourselves
- Willing to take a risk
I think Victoria and her family would thrive in a nursery with staff like this.
Finally, this this little video clip shows that staff only look through a small window of the child's life. To make it more of a real two way track we need to talk regularly to parents and build a mutual learning bridge from home to nursery and back again. We must be much more willing to help extend the child's interests at home and not dismiss them as less or inappropriate. After all it's our shared interests that are the more powerful drivers for embedding learning.

Elk Grove tribal casino situation still muddled after council delays decision
The fate of Elk Grove's proposed Indian casino remains uncertain after city officials, receiving mixed signals from the federal government, postponed a decision on scheduling a voter referendum aimed at thwarting the $400 million project.
The City Council had been expected to vote Wednesday to set a June 6 date for a referendum on its plan to allow the Wilton Rancheria Indian tribe to build a casino and hotel on 36 acres off Highway 99. Instead, the council agreed to take the issue up again Feb. 8.
Council members didn't explain the reason for the delay but indicated "there was new information that was received from the federal level," said city spokeswoman Kristyn Nelson.
The council apparently is wrestling with uncertainty over the legal status of the land proposed for the facility. Last week, on President Barack Obama's last day in office, the U.S. Interior Department agreed to take the 36 acres of land "into trust" for the tribe. That would clear the way for the tribe and its casino partner, Boyd Gaming of Las Vegas, to acquire the land from shopping-mall developer Howard Hughes Corp.
However, the department hasn't actually taken the land into trust yet and is reviewing the decision, according to casino opponents. That creates an opening for those opponents to push the anti-casino referendum. Federal officials haven't returned calls seeking comment on the issue.
Complicating matters is the transition to President Donald Trump's administration. Trump, who has developed casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, has been known as a foe of Indian casinos.
The casino site, at the south end of Elk Grove, is part of a larger parcel on which the Hughes corporation plans to build an outlet mall. Last October the city amended its development agreement to let Hughes sell the 36 acres to the tribe. An anti-casino group, led by a company tied to the owner of two Sacramento area card rooms, gathered enough signatures to force a referendum that would overturn the October decision.
As long as the Interior Department hasn't officially taken the land into trust, legal experts say the referendum could block the casino.
City officials have backed the casino, in part because it would drive traffic to the long-awaited mall project. Hughes hasn't set a groundbreaking date and has said the casino is needed to make the outlet mall a success.

This past weekend our team enjoyed a fun, laughter and joy-filled day with Kristina Saffran, co-founder of Project Heal. Seriously, it was an absolutely great time!
You know those people who have a similar passion and soul-filled direction as you? You know how easy it is to relate to them and how it feels a lot more like you are hanging out with an old friend? Well, thats what it felt like for our team :)
Kristina is a wonderful, compassionate, and life giving person! You should definitely meet her some day!
Along with her friend, Liana, she co-founded Project Heal 7 or 8 years ago when they were teenagers moving toward recovery from their own eating disorder struggles. When I was a teenager I certainly wasn't starting non-profits dedicated to helping fund people who do not have access to high quality treatment for an eating disorder... But this was a passion of Kristina and Liana's, and they went for it!
So go google Project Heal. Awesome people.
Anyways, back to the purpose of this blog entry... what were we doing hanging out with Kristina?
We were filming our second RECOVER film. It is an honor for us to be able to tell Kristina's story of full recovery from an eating disorder :)
We still have one more day of filming (yes, these things take quite some time to put together), but I hope that you are as excited to see it as I am and that, when you do see it, you gain a sense of hope that full recovery from an eating disorder is possible!
Our first RECOVER film was done with Johanna Kulp. Take a look!

text: I totally agree with you that children need time - time to develop their thoughts and ideas. There are some absolutely fantastic early years provision - but often as I go around early years settings with my Ofsted inspector hat on, I see for what I can only describe as children being 'herded' e.g. time for snack, time for outdoor play, group time, time to clear away for some other event etc. Which of course does not allow children the time they need as Tina Bruce so eloquently puts it 'to wallow' and thoroughly develop their understanding of how a particular material works .

The Bioengineering Initiative of the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation welcomed a special visitor and guest speaker on August 4th. Professor Andreas Melzer, MD, DDS, the Director of the Institute for Medical Science and Technology at the University of Dundee, toured the Bioengineering lab and gave a lecture titled "Pediatric Multimodality Image Guided Diagnosis, Therapy and Non invasive Surgery: the Integrated Interventional Imaging Operating System IIIOS".
(Photo, right: Dr. Melzer delivers a lecture on focused ultrasound to the Bioengineering team.)
Dr. Melzer's talk described his experiences developing novel technology for minimally invasive interventions over the last 20 years. He focused on non-invasive therapy applications such as MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS). MRgFUS works by focusing an ultrasound beam on a small target area where it can heat and destroy cancerous tissue from outside the body, without the need for a surgical incision. The procedure is monitored by MR imaging, and the treatment area can be shaped to conform to the region of interest, so that the cancerous region can be destroyed without damaging nearby healthy tissue or critical anatomy.
"MrgFUS now has over 100 installations worldwide and interest in this technology continues to grow", said Dr. Melzer. "While to date the vast majority of these applications have been for the adult population, now is an opportune time to investigate the applicability of these techniques to pediatrics. Recent exciting research has revealed the option to use MRgFUS for release of drugs from nano-encapsulated drugs and to increase cell permeability for enhanced drug uptake, which is another venue for this technology". Further information can be found at www.nanoporation.eu.
"Focused ultrasound is an ideal treatment modality for pediatrics because of the non-invasive nature of the treatment", said Peter Kim, MD, PhD, vice president of the Sheikh Zayed Institute, who also attended the lecture. "This treatment concept fits in perfectly with our vision of making pediatric surgery less invasive and more precise".
In the discussion that followed, led by Dr. Melzer and Dr. Kim, the group talked about exploring the use of non-ionizing radiation in image-guided interventions for neonatal and fetal procedures and establishing collaborations between the two institutes.

In Wellington's CBD, freehold properties held in three contiguous titles across a total land area of 313sq m are for sale at 95-101 Victoria St, on the corner with Bond St.
James Chan of Bayleys Auckland says the owner of the land and buildings had plans drawn up and there is a resource consent in place for a 22-storey mixed-use development with retail at street level and apartments above.
Currently two, two-storey 1920s concrete or masonry buildings occupy the land which are home to a variety of small ground floor retail and hospitality tenants with residential accommodation on the upper level.
Tenders on the property close with Bayleys Auckland on Thursday September 28.
Chan says an Auckland development company has put a prime Wellington CBD development site up for sale having decided to concentrate their property interests in the Auckland market.
"While the properties are earning a holding gross income of around $200,000 on short term leases, the best use for this site is redevelopment to optimise the Central Area zoning's allowable height limit of 75m," he says.
"The existing buildings have served the city well but now require significant remedial work. Realistically, the site's future lies in redevelopment to make the best use of the location."
Chan says it could also be a potential hotel site given the identified shortage of hotel beds and rising tourism numbers in the capital. The plans that have received resource consent provide a gross building floor area of 5139sq m.
Grant Young of Bayleys Wellington is co-marketing the property with Chan and his Auckland colleague Quinn Ngo. Young says the area surrounding the corner site has seen significant recent investment and development.
"This part of the city has become more of a destination precinct thanks in part to new developments such as the one in Manners Street, with Michael Hill as an anchor tenant supported by several flagship fashion brands including Andrea Moore and Augustine," says Young.
"It's certainly an emerging part of town where new concepts are being explored and where commercial tenants wish to be based as evidenced by the very limited retail vacancy in the area.
"There's also pent-up demand for residential accommodation which will not be fully-absorbed by the two big apartment developments in the vicinity - the Pinnacle City Residence complex and the Victoria St. Precinct apartments."
Young says Wellington City Council spent around $13m rejuvenating the Victoria St area and developers are seeing value in being part of the change that is occurring in this part of the city.
"There are also plans to improve the Bond/Victoria St junction according to Council updates so the area is seeing significant attention which will bodes well for investors who commit to the area."


text: While I was making diagrams, I thought I'd pull together a nice view of the object rubric to keep the goals in front of me. I'm thinking I will print both this and the how it works for the science fair demos we are doing on the 19th. That way I can have the app an object out, but people can see what the jam is without having to wait for me.

Prestigious Financial Reporting Awards
For the 17th consecutive year, Business Services has been the recipient of two prestigious financial reporting awards: The Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO) and the Certificate of Achievement of Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA). The Wayne-Westland Community School District is proud to be one of only four school districts in the State of Michigan to receive both awards. By preparing and presenting a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and receiving these awards, the Wayne-Westland Community Schools has validated both the credibility of the operations and the District's financial reporting.
The Business, Maintenance and Instructional Operations has many diverse responsibilities. In addition to maintaining a system of budgetary and accounting controls to safeguard the financial integrity of the Wayne-Westland Community Schools, this department also oversees the iSave Program, Stormwater Management Plans, Food Service, Transportation, Building and Grounds, and Network Technology.

Budget & Salary / Compensation Transparency Report
Section 18 (2) of the Public Act 94 of 1979, The State School Aid Act, requires each school district and intermediate school district to post certain information on its website within 30 days after a board adopts its annual operating budget or any subsequent revision to that budget. The Annual Budget & Transparency Reporting is an opportunity to communicate to our community how we utilize the resources that are provided to us.
iSave Program
I-Save is a voluntary program developed by Wayne-Westland Community Schools as an internal energy conservation program and an alternative to performance contracting or outside energy consultants. The goal of the program is to change the habits of all building occupants to reduce utility consumption in an effort to conserve our natural resources, lessen our impact on the planet, and save money.
Stormwater Management
The Wayne-Westland Community Schools (WWCS) is committed to practicing sound stormwater management practices and to observance and adherence to all local, state and federal stormwater policies to the greatest extent possible.
Food Services
The Division of Food Services is proud to offer a variety of delicious, yet healthy, breakfast and lunch choices for the students of the Wayne-Westland Community School District. The lunch program is run with a "point of sale" swipe card system, which reduces the wait time in line, and gives the students more time to enjoy their meals.
