October Favourites
Another month, another list of favourites. I don't want to get too in depth with this post because I have a fair amount of favourites and don't want it to get too long. Something I've noticed about myself is that my interests change (sometimes dramatically) within a few weeks time. Because of this quirk, you'll probably see my favourites as being all over the place. I'll typically get obsessed with something new that I want to try to the point where I impulsively go after it before enjoying it then moving on to something else. I've always been like that and I don't necessarily find it a negative quality. But it does mean that every month's favourite posts will have something different and out of character for me.
1) Moleskin Notebook
I've been doing a lot more journaling this month and my Moleskin notebook has been very useful for that. I usually try to throw it in my bag before I leave for work in case I feel the urge to do some writing on my commute or lunch break. I've tried to branch off from standard journal writing (where I write about my day) and tried to incorporate some more creative writing as a form of self-expression.
2) Men's Sweaters
If you've been following my blog you'll know that I have an affinity for oversized sweaters. I usually buy mine from H&M, but recently I've decided to dip my toes in the men's departments and have found that they give the perfect oversized look I'm always searching for. Currently I've been loving this brownish/red sweater from the men's department at the GAP.
3) Library Card
I think the last time I took a book out of the public library was back in high school when I was writing essays. When I entered university I mainly used the libraries on campus and bought any novels I needed for my classes. However, I've recently rediscovered how convenient it is to drop by the library on my day off and pick up a few books instead of always buying them. This is great if you don't know whether or not you'll actually like a novel and don't want to commit to having it in your personal library.
4) Black Opium
I've had this perfume in my collection for a while now, but only just rediscovered it. It's the perfect sweet, but dark scent for fall and it lasts all day long. While I love my Chanel Mademoiselle, it doesn't last very long and I feel like I have to reapply it throughout the day. Black Opium is what I've been reaching for as the days have gotten a bit colder here in Toronto.
5) Mind Hunter
I started watching this show on the recommendations of pretty much everyone I know. If you're a true crime fan like I am then this is a great show that combines the true crime world with a few fictional characters. Without giving too much away, it follows the FBI as they develop the term 'serial killer' while interviewing a few infamous ones.
6) Hemlock Grove
The main reason I started watching this show was for Bill Skarsgard. Ever since I watched It, I couldn't get over how great his performance was and wanted to explore some other work he's been in. It's a show that incorporates the fantastical world of werewolves and possibly vampires(?). I'm not too sure yet as I'm still on the first season. While some acting and scene construction is a bit cheesy, it has me hooked on figuring what is really going on in this eerie town.
7) Sensationail
This was one of those aforementioned random obsessions. I fell down a dark Youtube hole of fake nail videos and decided I wanted to try them for the first time. However, seeing as I'm more of a DIY kind of person I decided to start off with press ons and see how I like them before potentially committing to a salon visit. I can honestly say that they were super easy to apply and file to my liking and seem fairly sturdy on my nails. I applied one that was too big for one finger (not great if you want them to last for a while) and had a difficult time to take it off, which is a good sign in terms of their longevity. If you're a beginner like me then I'd recommend this brand just for fun and special occasions. It'll take a while to apply them, but practice makes perfect.

This was probably the best episode of the season.
Holly is the name of Tampa's mother. Holly is Lori's friend and, of course, the mother of Grayson's child.
This episode, Jules was being really clear that she didn't like Holly. All Holly wanted to do was to come in, gab and do tequila shots. They needed to make up an excuse, Jules insisted after Holly pulled up.
But Holly surprised them by coming around back instead of through the front door.
Travis and Holly end up messing around and Jules and Ellie walk in on it. Jules is furious. Holly gets off the couch and leaves, then darts back in and picks up her baby behind the couch.
Jules tells Travis he can't see Holly.
Travis pranks her by pretending to be in love with her. Then he tells her that he saw a sad young woman and used it. Grayson gives him a high five and then takes it back when Jules gives him a look.
Jules wants to marry Grayson on the beach. That requires a permit. Roger (Barry Bostwick) is the mayor (and the father of one of Lori's old boyfriends -- Smith, the law student) and won't give her what she needs. (He also just married Barb.) So Jules wants Andy to run.
Andy loves the idea because he always wanted to wear a top hat like the Monopoly man. Ellie does not want him running for office. She doesn't like people.
She ends up agreeing he can run for office and Jules ends up hugging Holly and telling her that she's going to have to learn to drink wine if she's going to be part of their group.
(There was also a Bobby storyline and Lori. Bobby was dealing with racism. Lori and others were helping him. I didn't enjoy that because I really didn't think it was funny that Andy's Latino.)
This is C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot" for today:

The Minister of Education in South Africa has openly admitted that the school system in South Africa is in a state of utter crisis. The country doesn't provide an educational system of reasonable quality for all its citizens, and it comes as a surprise that several new initiatives are showing up, such as recently the GED test opt-in. So read on to learn more about the Education Crisis in South Africa.
There are more and more parents who choose to homeschool and use free online resources such as BestGEDClasses.org to prepare their kids for the GED test and work toward a more rewarding future. The GED test is a series of four sub-tests on the subject fields of language, science, social studies, and math that originated in the U.S. but is also available in South Africa.
Upon successful completion of the tests, students will receive the GED diploma, which is considered the equivalent to a regular U.S. High School Diploma.
Recent changes in the US have resulted in a four-test exam that is modular-formatted and completely computer-based, but it will take a few years before the new test will be rolled out internationally. Many homeschooling parents use online instruction to prepare their children for the GED test.
The GED diploma is far cheaper, much faster, and so much easier to obtain than most of South Africa's available matric options, and it is additionally a perfect quick-fix for those adults who are in need of a secondary education certificate. It may well help to turn the African Brain Drain into a Brain Gain. Let's hope for the best.
The GED diploma is recognized and accepted by the majority of post-secondary educational institutions across the world. In South Africa, the GED diploma is recognized by the government's HESA (Higher Education South Africa) and accepted as the foreign equivalency to a regular high school diploma. South Africa's HESA website states that the GED diploma is a requirement together with an acceptance letter to a properly-accredited US university.
It is incomprehensible that in Africa, out of the almost 128 million school-aged children, more than 17 million are not in a position that they will ever get any school education at all. And it is even more appalling that some 37 million more African children will be learning so little during their years at school that they probably will not get into any better position than those children who didn't get any education at all. Consequently, the outlook for social development on the continent is poor, and Africa's possible future economic growth is limited.
The Traditional South Africa Education System
South Africa's education system continues to take a strain while the government is trying to achieve more or less equal educational opportunities for all its residents. The South African system is divided into three different levels: general basic education and training, continued education and training, and higher education and training. The education process is compulsory through the 9th-grade level and includes, in total, 12 grades.
Basic Education
The first six years of education are in primary school, during which period basic literacy and numeracy will be established.
Middle Education
The subsequent three years will be spent at middle school. The taught subjects are still basically academic, but there will be a slight touch of vocational education and training. Completing this middle education track results in a basic education and training certificate. See also this post: Exploitation of African Nations-The Game Continues.
Secondary Education
The secondary education system is mainly administered via an extensive network of private colleges and previously predominantly white government-run schools. At these schools, the educational standards are generally pretty high, but due to high tuition and other school fees, will most students from poorer backgrounds unfortunately not be able to attend these institutions.
Vocational Education
Vocational education and training is mainly sector-based education that is administrated by training authorities across functional and professional lines. Vocational education is mostly provided by for-profit colleges that are operating partly via government funding. This section of education includes a plethora of mostly independent adult schools of which some maintain pretty high standards.
Tertiary Education
The section of tertiary education is provided via an impressive number of state-operated and private educational institutions that are working under overall guidance and control of the South Africa Ministry of Higher Education.
Here we can find polytechnics that educate and train a wide variety of technicians in various disciplines, and universities are awarding traditional degrees (bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees). In South Africa, we still can see a substantial divide in quality and organizational standards between previously "white" and "independent homeland" educational institutions.

Are you married to someone or an addict with deep problems? Save Your Marriage Or Leave
Is the marriage or family life going through a tough time due to problems, financial concerns, abuse, or caring for a physically or emotionally handicapped relative? Save Your Marriage Or Leave
If this is the case, do you find yourself making excuses for all those difficulties? Calling in sick for the husband? Taking the housework over as your poor spouse is just too depressed to help? Denying that misuse is happening in your own home? Do you find yourself taking charge and bearing the burdens of the whole marriage or family?
You might be a codependent and this really can be a severe issue in marriages and families.
You may have discovered to be codependent owing to your family history. It happened on your household so that you tend to be drawn to the same situation once you marry. Save Your Marriage Or Leave
You might have learned behaviors such as making explanations, tuning out, controlling, excess caretaking, being hyper-vigilant as you believe that you need to do something to spare your family from pity or to at least diffuse the situation and keep the peace. You do so since you would like to be needed and dread of doing anything that would change the relationship. Save Your Marriage Or Leave
Unfortunately, while such behaviors can decrease strain and conflict for the meantime, they will not help for the long term. All you are doing is reinforcing the situation and even, letting it worsen. You are allowing yourself to be lost within the situation and, in the long run, may find yourself no longer able to cope with it.
What can you do to overcome codependence on your family and marriage life?Save Your Marriage Or Leave
Here's How to Overcome Codependency in Your Marriage
If you are reading this post and also have come to recognize that you do have this problem – CONGRATULATIONS! That's the very first step in beginning to overcome codependence. Admit that you have a problem and take steps to begin changing it. It'll require both self-help and expert assistance. Save Your Marriage Or Leave
More frequently than not, these issues stem from deep-seated psychological issues. Don't let shame keep you from seeking the support of a counselor or psychologist. In addition, there are programs similar to "Codependents' Anonymous" that can allow you to process your problems and provide you with tools on how to overcome them.
Family member or your spouse may also require expert help, particularly if they are currently combating with addiction or clinical conditions. Work at getting them the help they want, if they want it or not. There are a few excellent suggestions in savemymarriagetoday.com's ebook "How to Change Your Partner from Addiction, Even If they don't need to!"
When there's abuse in your home, more radical steps have to be taken. For the sake of your own selfrespect and for your children, for those who have some, then break away from the situation. Find a shelter or group which will help you attain your independence and help you through recovery and healing. Save Your Marriage Or Leave
Codependents need healing too and, once recognized, you should not allow the situation to last. Get help. Save Your Marriage Or Leave

Volker Fitzpatrick have commenced work on the new public realm for Meridian Water Station. Designed in the later part of 2018, our project provides temporary access routes across the Willoughby Lane development site to the west of the station and a new public square to the east. Works include a new pedestrian crossing, lighting, cycle parking, over 300 linear metres of rain gardens and enabling utilities works for future Meanwhile Uses.
If you go down to the woods today.....
We're delighted that the first phase of works for our project at the Whitmore School has started on site. Working with the school's team, Anthology and Apex Contractors we are a creating a woodland wonderland where children can kick off their shoes, camp, climb trees, pond dip and tell stories - a world away from a traditional school playground. The project will be finished this autumn.

How to Get Out a Stripped Bolt
Loosening a stripped bolt can be very challenging and may require multiple attempts and methods before the task is complete. You might be able to use items already in your possession to get a stripped bolt out. Depending on the location of the bolt, you may not be able to attempt all of the options.
Spray WD-40 or an similar product around the base of the bolt. Use a straw to direct the flow of the spray directly to the base of the bolt.
Grasp the exterior of the bolt with vise grips and apply pressure in a counterclockwise manner.
Grind a horizontal slit in the bolt with a grinder if the vise grip method fails. Grind the slit so you can fit a flat head screwdriver into it. Insert a flat head screwdriver into the slit and turn counterclockwise.
Purchase a stripped bolt removal tool kit at your local hardware store if the grinder method fails. A stripped bolt removal tool kit uses special sockets that can be placed on the end of a normal ratchet. Use the appropriate size socket for the bolt and turn counterclockwise.
Clean any traces of WD-40 from the bolt site and weld an Allen wrench to the bolt if the stripped bolt removal tool kit failed. You can use a welder or weld paste which is sold at most hardware stores. The weld paste requires no heat and can be applied in minutes. After the Allen wrench is welded to the bolt, turn the Allen key counterclockwise.
Things You Will Need
- Vise grip
- Grinder
- Flat head screwdriver
- Stripped bolt tool kit
- Welder or weld alternative
- Allen wrench
- WD-40 is flammable and should not be used in conjunction with welding.

Time capsule[edit | edit source]
By the time you get this note / A millenium from now / We'll have all gone up in smoke
Pretty clearly about a time capsule. The narrator seems to be rather pessimistic about his own future. Dets65 (talk) 16:39, 12 January 2018 (EST)
- I think this narrator's extremely optimistic about the future! It's a real triumphant sounding, World's Fair futurism "the world of tomorrow" anthem. Lofty goals. Interesting contrast to When The Light Comes On, which suggests a more dire present but the implication that things will improve marginally in the narrator's lifetime And if you wanna get real conspiratorial, the exiting of the cave in Let's Get This Over With is the first step towards building the future. Who'd ever thought there'd be cohesion on a TMBG record?? -j2 12:30, January 13, 2018
- I'm putty sure this is about the anticipated death of the human race. So no, it's knot optimistic. Unless you count the shazlye as being optimiistc.--WhatTheHeckLinnell (talk) 12:20, 18 January 2018 (EST)
- Yeah, seems to me that when he says "1937" he's referring to the next year-numbering system that some future civilization uses after rebuilding following our apocalypse. There is a lot of pessimism on this record. I love it to death. -Themightysun 10:57, 19 January 2018 (PST)
- I'd call it an optimistic view of the end of all humanity. We're all gonna die, but that's good for everything else. - Pak-Man 13:23, January 22, 2018
- I'm pretty sure that 1937 is the actual 1937, in which a whole lot of horrible was ongoing and about to get much worse. --mishuga (talk) 12:40, 23 February 2018 (EST)

There's Never an End[edit | edit source]
1937 was the year Martin Niemöller was arrested in Nazi Germany, and it was the eve of World War II, which is the worst war humans have ever fought, even if you don't account for the horror of the Holocaust. I think what they're saying is the Utopian ideal of a future where humans solve all our problems is a daydream -- humans are gonna human, and as long as we're people we're never going to transcend evil. In every era, we're going to have to fight against the current of hatred that runs through our history -- we can't ever assume we've "made it," or that the badness is behind us. In the end, I think this is about today, an era when nativism and neo-fascism seems to be on the rise worldwide. Many of us who are between my age and the Johns' age sort of thought that the worst of our impulses were buried in the past with Hitler and Stalin and George Wallace. But they aren't. They're always there, waiting for someone to stoke the flame. If we think we've reached the perfect future, well, we haven't -- we never will. There is only ever eternal vigilance. --Mrfeek (talk) 01:45, 3 September 2018 (EDT)
They're being sarcastic[edit | edit source]
The way I interpret it, the narrator is confident that all of the ills in the word will be overcome and forgotten in the future, but the bitter joke is that obviously hasn't happened. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaylum (talk • contribs) 13:01, January 13, 2018
- Not everything has been overcome -- but things are better. Things improve over time, despite appearances. Crime goes down, life expectancy goes up, diversity increases, standards of living keep improving. It would be especially hard to argue that 1937AD was worse than 937AD, or that 2018 is worse than 1937. What I think this song gets across nimbly is the constant failure humans exhibit to predict exactly how things will improve. The narrator expects to see the lower classes swept away or silenced, and for that to bring about a single-voiced unanimous harmony -- predictions which I expect most people today would call a dystopia rather than a utopia. Atrus
A whole millennium later...[edit | edit source]
What was going on in the year 937? Political transitions galore across Europe and Asia. Poverty and subsistence farming was a way of life for a majority of people. Very few people were literate, which means the only folks who could have written this note were the elite nobles. Think about it--a time capsule is a fun idea when you have plenty of leisure time and are looking to establish some strange kind of legacy. When your life consists of plowing a field for a living, you don't have time for such lofty thoughts. That being said, even these elites realized there were problems aplenty in their time, and they naturally assumed that after a thousand years, those problems would be reduced, if not completely resolved. However, it's the typical pie-in-the-sky ideals you might associate with such people: no more dissent, pollution, hatred; even barking dogs and crying babies would have seen the error of their ways.
Meanwhile, what actually happened in the year 1937? Peace, harmony, "rejoicing in the present"? Nah. You had civil wars, strikes, mass killings, aerial disasters, and of course, mounting tensions toward a second world war. What a time to be alive! --MisterMe (talk) 13:22, 22 January 2018 (EST)

It's mountain season! You might be going to actually ski, but it's more likely that you're going for some snow tubing, snowshoeing, jacuzzi time, or R&R in the lodge. From the snow-capped Swiss Alps and Aspen to the humble hills of the Berkshires and Catskills, the satisfaction of a nice cup of h̶o̶t̶ ̶c̶o̶c̶o̶a̶ soothing tea after a long winter day is the ultimate satisfaction.
One great part about tea is that it's easily transportable. All you really need is some hot water and you can make your favorite cup just about anywhere. The types of tea you want to enjoy at the chalet are deep, hearty, warming, and comforting. They do not skimp on flavor or intensity and they radiate the joyous spirit we still like to have coming off the holidays.
If you're heading to luxurious Banff this ski season, the Fairmont Banff Springs and Chateau even offers a luxurious afternoon tea that will give you a taste of the most exquisite post-slope blends (plus pastries, of course!), including green infusions, yerba mate, Egyptian chamomile, Maple Maple, and other signature blends of the resort. We've got to check this experience off our list.
In the meantime, you can create your own cold-weather tea experience no matter where you're headed (or, hint: even at home). We've compiled a few recommendations from the Heavenly Tea Leaves team to complete your next wintertime getaway.
If you want a sampler pack so you can try out a few different types of tea, try our Flavored Black Tea Sampler. This luxurious tea set contains four beautifully packaged loose leaf black teas that are invigorating, giving you the naturally-caffeinated boost you need to get through a physically intense ski trip. It will also help restore your energy after a long day of ups-and-downs, or become the perfect fire pit companion. Our personal favorite of the bunch? Ginger Black. (The ginger will help protect and relieve you from swollen feet, or the sniffles.)
If a spice-infused floral tea is more your thing, Turmeric Bliss is our preferred pick. This unique turmeric-heavy blend gives the punch of spices like cardamom with the calming floral notes of lavender, rose petals, and hibiscus. This blend will clear your head and warm your body in an instant – the perfect cold weather elixir. If you're brewing it yourself, make sure to use water that's come to a boil and steep for about five minutes.
Next on the list, the exotic theme continues with White Chai. This is a white tea blend – a great, relaxing option for those looking for depth of flavor with a lower caffeine level than that of black tea. This tea is made from Organic white tea, lemongrass, cinnamon, ginger, pineapple, pink peppercorns, coconut, clove, cardamom, and natural cinnamon flavor – a combination with a knockout flavor and aroma. You'll be warm and ready to go back up on the mountain after drinking some of this one on your break.
Another (very aptly titled) caffeine-free option is Heavenly Tea Leaves' Warmth. What makes it so warm, aside from the fact that it's best consumed hot? Organic turmeric, orange peel, vanilla, and other naturally cozy ingredients.
So, are you feeling toasty yet? These tea suggestions, in lieu of a fancy afternoon tea at a chateau, are perfectly paired with breakfast, lunch, a mid-afternoon snack, dessert after dinner, and even a before-bed treat (in the case of the herbal ones). What's special about a winter getaway is that unique juxtaposition of wood and snow, pine and frost, warm and cold, crisp and spicy, fresh and earthy. By bringing along your favorite selection of tea for the ride, you'll create just the right balance. Cheers to your next Après-tea!
Wherever you are, February is probably hitting you hard. The shivering is on, winds are blowing, and there isn't a dry sidewalk in sight. It is tea's job, however, to make us all forget our seasonal woes.
Certain teas simply make us feel good or please our taste buds. Others, though, are here to deliver us from the cold, actually helping our bodies fight the freeze, combat the germs floating around, and even battle the bulge. Warming teas, as we call them, are both warm in terms of flavor and in terms of their duty – to actually heat up our palettes and bodies. In the spirit of making it through winter's last push, here is a collection of 5 tea types that will make you want to sit by that cozy fireplace with a cup of hot tea forever:
1. Drink oolong tea to metabolize fats quicker, eventually leading to a more efficient metabolism and a warmer you. Aside from its earthy flavor, oolong lends a lightly caffeinated energy boost along with an abundance of crucial vitamins and other nutrients. If you can't decide which version of oolong to try out, there's always the Heavenly Tea Leaves Oolong Tea sampler – a set of four variations on this classic Chinese tea. Another option is a customer favorite, Brandy Oolong, a traditional oolong with a rich, nutty flavor. Pick your favorite one and make it your cold weather staple!
2. Some like it hot – and they usually turn to ginger tea. Sip on some Heavenly Tea Leaves Ginger Peach White to raise your body temperature and rev up your digestion. Ginger is also known to aid blood flow in the body and provides a laundry list of additional benefits, including lowering blood pressure, lending antiseptic properties, alleviating nausea, and even acting as a natural blood thinner thanks to its naturally occurring salicylates. Our Ginger Peach also contains a base of white tea, which is another warming tea (see #5).
3. Spice it up with an organic cinnamon-based tea like Ginger Jazz. According to the Huffington Post, cinnamon "helps dry dampness in the body and warms people [who] are always cold and suffering from poor circulation. Cinnamon is [also] antiseptic and an excellent digestive tonic." The warmth of cinnamon also lends pleasant associations to holidays and white winters, making this tea all the more enjoyable to drink.
4. Sweet, comforting, and refreshing, peppermint tea is a simple and straightforward solution to the dreaded February frost. Peppermint serves as a natural stimulant and works overtime to deliver a caffeine-free energy boost while delivering a soothing finish. Heavenly Tea Leaves' 100% organic variety is sure to give just the kick you're looking for.
5. White tea = feeling good. While super-light white tea isn't as popular as black tea, it certainly boasts as many health-promoting properties. It is thought that white tea acts as an antibacterial agent, helping deter our wintertime sniffles; the catechins found in both white and green teas are so powerful that they have even been linked to the combatting of the flu virus. To add some fruity and floral flavor to the simple flavor of white tea, you're best off trying out Pomegranate White from Heavenly Tea Leaves.
Don't be afraid to mix and match! Try creating your own in-home blends. You can cut up some ginger, take fresh cinnamon, and add some peppermint to create a delightful herbal concoction to help cure your winter blues. And while this is only one suggestion, you can try playing around with different teas, herbs, and spices to give you tasty results. You know what they say, you never know if you don't try!
In February, we can either look ahead to spring or enjoy this moment for what it is – a calm, cozy, exciting time of year. While the sneezing and freezing roadblocks try to stand in our way, a cup of hot tea can always come to the rescue. To recap, some of the most effective warming teas or tea ingredients include oolong, ginger, cinnamon, peppermint, and white tea. Based on whether you prefer caffeine, depth of flavor, or spice, you can mix and match each of these into your daily beverage rotation. Bundle up by the fire, bring out your chunkiest sweaters, and warm yourself up with a nice cup of hot tea.

Food Bank
Godalming Foodbank run by St Mark's Church & Community Centre provides emergency food parcels for individuals and families in crisis for three to five days.
This service is supported by other local churches, Godalming CAB, Waverley Borough Council and Waitrose in Godalming.
Access to the Foodbank is normally through referrals from professional agencies, e.g. by health professionals, schools, local police and community/voluntary organisations.
Opening Times: Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday 9.00 am to 2.30 pm
Telephone Karen Milton on 01483 418741 during the above times if you have a referral note, wish to donate, or have any questions.
If you phone and there is no reply, please leave your number and a message and Karen will phone you back as soon as possible.
If no one is available to answer the phone and you are in need of food, go to Godalming Citizens' Advice Bureau in Bridge Street, opposite Waitrose, (opening times Monday to Friday 10 am to 4 pm).
The Food Bank is currently in need of the following items (23 September 2019)
Really urgent - only a few left
tinned vegetables - Peas,Carrots,Sweetcorn
also needed
Bags for Life and proper shopping bags to take family parcels
Any donations are gratefully recieved and we thank you for your support.
Unfortunately we cannot accept Fresh or Homemade goods due to the short use by dates
However, we do accept monetary donations, which along with helping to buy specialised items such as gluten free and baby products also help towards administrative costs. Many thanks to all of you who support Godalming Food Bank in this way. Please make cheques payable to "St.Mark's Community Centre".
The reason we ask for smaller sized items is because large items take up so much room in the food parcels which reduces the amount of items we are able put into a bag.
Large items usually weight more and if the recipient is travelling on foot or public transport it reduces the amount they can comfortably manage to carry.
We like to give as much and as varied items as possible, smaller items enable us to do this.
Please check back next month to see if the needs have changed.

The New Democrat MP for Essex is calling for a fresh water strategy.
Tracey Ramsey took a tour of the Fresh Water Restoration Ecology Centre in LaSalle on Thursday with Associate Professor Dr. Trevor Pitcher.
Ramsey recently introduced a private member's bill in Parliament calling for an update to the federal policy governing freshwater.
An element in Bill C439 would include national standards for drinking water.
"In our own country we have indigenous communities that don't have access to safe clean drinking water and at the root of that it's about protecting the fresh water in our countries," said Ramsey. "It's a very critical time to be doing this across the globe and certainly Canada needs to be a leader because we have an incredible amount of fresh water to protect."
Ramsey notes the federal fresh water strategy dates back to 1987, and it is well out of date.
Ramsey hopes her bill and other environmental issues become part of the conversation in this fall's federal election.

Money grows only with investments and never just by savings alone. The objective of investment is to get more out of the money you have and the purpose, channel, duration and amount is unique for everyone. With the ever increasing penetration of internet in our daily lives and information boom that it has brought is making more and more people active about investing after having surveyed all the options available. Now the importance is more on investing rather than saving. But this doesn't rules out the fact that even saving is also important. Investment means spending to buy that which has a potential to increase the value of money with time like a policy, an asset, or a commodity. The ultimate motive remains to increase the worth of the current money over time.
Investment is a personal choice and depends on the individual's choice and capability amount, duration of investment and the risk appetite. To be a successful investor and earn on the investment, one should follow certain principles, which are also called "Thumb Rules of Investment". These thumb rules answer all questions about investment and make investing an easy affair. But still the question that remains is, which is the best way to invest money?
Best Ways to Invest Your Money
PPF stands for Public Provident Fund. PPF investment offers investors a lot of flexibility, like the account can be opened in a post office branch or a bank. The maximum amount that can be invested in a year is Rs 1.5 lakhs. This can be done as a lump sum or as instalments on any working day of the year. The PPF account matures in 15 years, and can be extended in blocks of five years each. The PPF account also offers liquidity to the investor.
Interest Rate: 7.8%
Tenure: 15 years (from first investment)
NSC stands for National Savings Certificate. NSC is an investment scheme floated by the Government of India that allows subscribers to save income tax. There is no maximum limit on the purchase of NSCs. Investments of up to Rs 1.5 lakh in the scheme are exempt from income tax under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. The NSCs earn a fixed interest rate of 8.1% per annum. The interest earned is added back as investment and compounded annually.
Interest rate: 8.1%
Tenure: 5 years
Fixed Deposits
Fixed Deposits or FDs is a type of investment scheme in which an investor, invests a fixed sum of money for a fixed period and earns interest on it. As such FDs are a great way to grow money, or even to plan for a large future expense. Fixed Deposits are considered to be one of the safest investment options available today, as they are independent of market fluctuations, and returns on them are fixed and guaranteed.
There are two types of fixed-deposit schemes – cumulative, and non-cumulative. In a cumulative fixed deposit, the interest earned is compounded on a regular basis but paid out only when the deposit matures. In a non-cumulative fixed deposit, the interest is paid to the investor at regular intervals, be it monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually, depending upon the investor's choice.
Interest rate: 8.5%
Tenure: 10 years
Real Estate
Real Estate investment refers to investing in land and property. The price of property rises day by day and hence buying a property is the best investment now days one can make. Real Estate investments are sure to grow with time. Real Estate investment can be done with own money as well as mortgage loans.
Gold is Gold! And we Indians are very much attracted towards it and have an affinity of accumulating it. In India, Gold has more emotional value rather than the economic value. In India, gold passes on in generations. Though investment in gold has lost its capability, but is still recommended by financial experts to invest 5-7% of your monthly income because gold is considered as a hedge against inflation and it also act as a medium of exchange during economic crisis. There are many options that are available to prospective investor to make an investment in gold via investing in physical gold, gold coins and Gold Bars, Electronic Gold, etc.
Term Insurance: Nobody is immortal here. Buy a Term Insurance so that family's finances stay secured even after your demise. Given your young age, this should cost you around INR 5000 yearly premium (around INR 400 pm).
Term insurance is the form of life insurance cover, it covers your life for a defined period of time, and if the insured individual expires during that particular term of the policy then the death benefit is payable to nominee of the term insurance holder. Term plans designed to secure the family needs in case of death or any uncertainty. The insurance provides specific coverage for specific period of time.
Health Insurance: Whereas investment in a health insurance is somewhat different from having a term insurance. Health insurance covers only health related issues and does not provide the death benefit. Having these two insurances provide you tax exemptions too.
National Pension System or NPS is a voluntary and defined contribution retirement savings scheme so as to enable individuals to save systematically during their earning life. NPS was envisaged in 1999. NPS is a fit choice for those who want to save for retirement but are not fully aware with the know-hows of different investment channels, as retirement savings requires proper asset allocation and right investment scheme or channel.
Mutual Funds
Mutual Funds are a simple, tax efficient and effective tool to invest with wide bouquet of investment options such as equity schemes, fixed income schemes, money market schemes, hybrid schemes, ETFs etc. which an investor can choose as per their needs. Mutual Funds are investment instruments managed by finance professionals hence eliminating the need of investor having time or skill to manage their own portfolio. Mutual Funds provide the benefit of diversification across different sectors and companies and are very liquid investments unless they have a pre-specified lock-in period. Investors can benefit from the convenience and flexibility offered by mutual funds to invest in a wide range of schemes. The option of systematic (at regular intervals) investment and withdrawal is also offered to investors in most open-ended schemes.

New football prospect T.J. Finley wants to change the QB culture at LSU
Related Story
BATON ROUGE- Ponchatoula quarterback T.J. Finley is what many coaches dream of.
Standing at 6'6", and weighing in at 230 pounds, the junior pro-style QB is already drawing comparisons to some of the NFL's biggest stars, like former NFL MVP Cam Newton and the eagle Carson Wentz.
"Carson Wentz stays in the pocket with his big frame," says Finley. "Delivers an accurate ball most of the time. So I just model my game after him."
Unlike Wentz, who played college football at North Dakota State, Finley's build and strong arm were enough to attract offers from some of the biggest names in college football, like reigning national champion Alabama.
Ultimately, Finley decided to stay and play for a goal he always dreamed of as he verbally committed to LSU May 29, 2018.
"I've been wanting to go to LSU since I was 5 or 6 years old. They've been my dream school. What's better than playing in Death Valley?" said Finley.
"They really sold out to the dream and believed in me that I could bring them to the next level and finally beat Alabama and get a national championship."
LSU's quarterback room over the last decade has been a rotating carousel, including this year, where four players are still fighting for the starting job. As for Finley, he feels like he can be the guy to come in and change the culture in Baton Rouge.
"You know, why not be different? That's what I was always told," said Finley. "I want to be the factor."
LSU fans will have to wait two years as Finley will join as part of the class of 2020. The LSU 2020 recruiting class is currently ranked number four in the country.

Baltimore County News
By Gregory Wm. Branch, M.D., MBA, CPE, FACP, Director, Department of Health and Human Services
With prom season upon us, it is particularly important that adults do their part to reduce youth access to alcohol and tobacco. The responsibility falls on our entire community to help ensure that our children have long, healthy lives.
The vast majority of current smokers started in their teens, and studies have shown that tobacco is a gateway to using other substances and engaging in high-risk behavior. Nicotine is highly addictive and the carcinogens cause cancer and a host of other health conditions.
Underage drinking also poses many risks, both social and health-related. The greater risks to health include higher incidence of traffic accidents, impaired judgment that can lead to illegal drug use and even death. Youth are at risk for restricted development of their brains, bones and organs when they drink alcohol. Youth who drink alcohol also are at increased risk for academic underachievement.
The best way to prevent youth from using alcohol and tobacco is to ensure that they do not have access to them.
I urge retailers to CARD everyone.
Check their ID.
Act Responsibly by actually reading the ID and verifying the birthdate. When you realize the youth is not of age, Don't sell.
For information on quit smoking classes or substance use prevention services and resources, call 410-88-REACH (410-887-3224).
Show airs on Cable Channel 25 and online
The latest edition of Baltimore County's half-hour cable television public affairs show, "Hello Baltimore County," features winter storm operations, and offers real-world advice on quitting smoking and establishing healthy eating habits.

Department of Health enforcement efforts continue to make significant impact
Today, County Executive Kevin Kamenetz and Director of the Department of Health and Human Services Dr. Gregory Wm. Branch announced that for the second year in a row, the selling of tobacco products to minors in Baltimore County has been significantly reduced due to the diligent work of the Baltimore County Department of Health. According to 2014 data from the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, over half of Baltimore County retailers they visited sold tobacco products to minors, more than any other jurisdiction in the State. In 2016, that number has been reduced to 1.25 percent according to a report just released by the State.
"Thanks to good government in action, and our commitment to funding this important initiative, we have made an amazing turnaround in keeping teenagers from being able to buy cigarettes and other tobacco products here in Baltimore County, and that goes a long way toward preventing unhealthy habits with lifelong consequences," said Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz.
"The reduction in tobacco sales to minors in Baltimore County is yet another testament to public health being on the job," said Director of the Department of Health and Human Services Dr. Gregory Wm. Branch. "With the help of our dedicated tobacco enforcement teams, we are sending a loud message that we value our youth's health and will stop at nothing to prevent them from gaining access to tobacco products."
Enforcement Works
To achieve the reduction in sales to minors, the Health Department has continued to aggressively increase enforcement operations with the use of students under the age of 18 to perform sting operations. These youth are under the supervision of Health Enforcement Officers, some of whom are retired public safety personnel. In 2016, the department conducted 4,128 sting operations on over 800 of the County's tobacco retailers.
In 2015, the County passed legislation to impose increased financial penalties for retailers who violate the sale to minors law and also includes the potential suspension of a tobacco license for repeat offenders. Those selling cigarettes to minors face a series of enforcement actions; the first offense results in a warning, the second offense is a $500 fine and the third offense results in a $1,000 fine. The County also refers repeat offenders to the State Comptroller's office so that their license to sell cigarettes may be reviewed.
"The County Council is committed to continuing this very positive trend and we are grateful for Dr. Branch and the Health Department staff who have worked extremely hard enforcing our tobacco laws," said Baltimore County Council Chair Tom Quirk.
Since the County began the aggressive enforcement efforts in the spring of 2015, it has made 274 referrals to the Comptroller's Office, which includes over 207 tobacco retailers – a quarter of the County's retailers. The Comptroller's reviews have resulted in 87 reprimands and 42 suspensions of tobacco licenses to date.
"We commend Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz and his team for all they have done to virtually eliminate tobacco sales to young people in Baltimore County," said Vincent DeMarco, President of the Maryland Citizens' Health Initiative. "We hope every county in Maryland will follow their lead to save young people from the horrors of tobacco addiction."
Risks of teen tobacco use
"The American Heart Association applauds Baltimore County's spectacular success in reducing youth access to tobacco products," said Michaeline Fedder, Director of Government Relations. "90 percent of addicted smokers start before age 19 and adolescents become addicted to nicotine more quickly than adults. They are also twice as sensitive to tobacco advertising which is why, annually, the tobacco industry spends $127.5 million in Maryland alone marketing its products to kids. And, finally, researchers have concluded that early signs of heart disease and stroke are found in young people who smoke."
"According to the American Lung Association's State of Tobacco Control report, in Maryland the high school smoking rate is 8.7 percent, 27.6 percent of high school students use tobacco products and an estimated 90 percent of adult smokers begin smoking during their teenage years," said Deborah P. Brown, President and CEO, American Lung Association of the Mid-Atlantic. "The American Lung Association in Maryland applauds Baltimore County's law enforcement officials for their success in reducing tobacco sales to minors by retailers. The work that they're doing is lifesaving."
"Age of sale laws must be strictly enforced to ensure a high rate of compliance," said Bonita Pennino, Maryland's Government Relations Director for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. "The work of the Baltimore County Department of Health over the last couple of years clearly shows that they understand the importance of holding tobacco retailers accountable for ensuring tobacco products stay out of the hands of our youth."

What Advice I Would Give - Stylists
Interested in knowing what life as a stylist is like? We've got you covered! In our new series "What Advice I Would Give" ( #waiwg ) we're going to be chatting with different creative professionals and collecting their advice for people interested in what they do. Comment below if you have any advice as a stylist that you'd also like to share!
Happy Mother's Day!
August 1988. Quadras was flourishing. The Perimeter Mall holiday catalog would soon be going to press, and I was in Northside Hospital labor and delivery reviewing the final proofs. My first daughter, Alexandra, was born, and two weeks later I was back at work and she was in her nursery down the hall. Fourteen months later, my second daughter, Charlotte, was born, and five weeks later, we were all back at Quadras in the new two bedroom plus a playroom nursery we had built when adding on studio space for the newly awarded Macy's Cellar account. (A contract that had us producing 50+ pages a week, 52 weeks a year, for 4+ years.)
Each Monday morning I would arrive loaded down with a weeks worth of baby clothes, bibs, diapers, and food, and collectively, we had 4 cribs, 4 high chairs, 2 playpens, and double the amount of toys for life at home and at Quadras.
The girls rode their big wheels through the studio, modeled for lighting tests, swung from Johnny Jump-Ups in the doorways, took their first steps, and had a kiddie pool in the side yard of our building. In their bedtime prayers they never failed to ask God to bless Ray, Rick, Beverly, and the other employees that were their friends and family, they ate their lunches and celebrated their birthdays in the same kitchen that we have today, (renovated several times since!) and they were on a first name basis with our clients.
Jane, then Carlyn, and then Janis were the amazing women that met us there each morning, cared for my children - the self-proclaimed company mascots, and balanced the unusual daytime routine of life in a photo studio and thriving company. One of my most prized possessions is the hand colored (with crayon), Xerox portraits of the girls from when Jane used to place them, face down, in the copy machine.
That routine lasted for seven years, until Alex went into the first grade, and Charlotte into kindergarten. Taking them to work was ofttimes a crazy and harrowing logistical nightmare, but it worked for me. Older and wiser, I know now that they would have also been fine at home, or in daycare, or with a relative, because with any of the options, I would have still been their mother, and would have loved them still, from the depths of my soul.
My girls say they have few memories of their early years here, but I have many; and today, Alex works at Quadras, and her first office was actually in the little room that had been her bedroom when she was a baby.
Work and motherhood is not for the faint of heart, but to all those mothers that seek to find balance between career and home life, and especially those mothers that have made careers at QI, I wish a heartfelt Happy Mother's Day!

#TBT - Retro "Reminitions"
It was 1995 and I was channeling my best Heather Locklear, AKA Amanda Woodward, ad exec power suit, from the Aaron Spelling sudsy drama "Melrose Place". Lime boucle, I had purchased it at the Bal Harbour shops on a recent business trip to Miami Beach.
Having recently sold (read article) Quadras to the public company Graphic Industries (read article), we were attending our first "President's Meeting", where we were two of the only three women presidents in the friendly, yet staunch, boy's club. Front and center, Sara, chic in Armani, was standing next to "Chief", Mark Pope, Sr., or MCP Three, as he was affectionately known, and after the photo op we were whisked off to meetings where Chief chewed on a cigar, and interrupted Mark Jr., the reigning President, with loud outbursts, if and when, he saw fit.
Dinner was at the opulent French restaurant, Toulouse, and while Chief told us he had never done well with "girls in business", he seemed happy with our numbers (i.e. dollars) having the details of our business written on a scrap of paper and stored in his shirt pocket. After the dinner the boys went off to The Cheetah (a gentleman's club), and MCP III asked Sara and me to stay and have a drink with him. Brandy Alexander's and ashtrays for everyone, the non-smoking rule didn't seem to apply when Chief was involved.
He told us about his life, his business, and how he had sold his wife's diamond to help create funds for what would eventually become a $500 million dollar company, that he and his sons sold in 1997 for $260 million to Wallace Computer Services. (I am guessing Mrs. Pope forgave him.)
It was a fortunate acquisition for Quadras, Inc., and for Sara and me personally. Pre-internet for us, I think it was 1997 when we acquired our first computers; I had simply picked up the phone, called Graphic Industries, and asked them if they wanted to buy us. Three months later, and pounds of legal papers, we were part of GI. They were wonderful to us, and we were happy being "the girls" and we missed them after they moved on and we became part of Wallace.
In 2000 Sara and I purchased the company back, and while the 90's were a special time, today is pretty good as well.

Dressing For Success - Or Are We?
Riding home from work, listening to NPR, (yes, I am in my 50's and listen to public radio), the topic was "Power Suits: How Dressing For Success At Work Can Pay Off" (read article).
My immediate memory went to myself decades ago as a high school and college student where dressing up on exam day was standard procedure…I felt that if I looked better, I performed better.
When Quadras was in its infancy, and Sara (the other half of QI's presidency) and I were in our 20's, we over-dressed for every situation – big heels, power suits, lots of jewelry, and even a fur coat in winter. It made us feel, and we believed look, mature, sophisticated, smart, and capable of handling someone's advertising needs as well as managing their budgets. Maybe it was the clothes, or maybe it was our sheer determination, but it seemed to work.
As the business matured and we grew up, we learned to assess circumstances, dress, and present ourselves accordingly when making presentations. Would the potential client prefer me of Sara? Would they be impressed, or put off by our fashion sense? Which would suit the customer and the presentation better – black leather or khakis?
We have also dealt with a casual business environment in which we have had to tell employees that t-shirts with profanities written on them, bare midriffs, and booty shorts, are not work attire, and have, on occasion, had to request tattooed legs be covered, or that an employee revise "their style" in the presence of clients. At one point in time, we wanted to have employee jumpsuit uniforms. This idea was not joyfully embraced.
So while these were my initial thoughts that I wanted to blog about, I also thought my views might seem outdated, and thus wanted to hear how one of my "millennials" would relate to the article. Here's what she had to say:
"Dressing for success – it's a phrase I heard echo out of my mother's mouth time after time. Dressing for success was a second religion to me- I didn't want to go ANYWHERE without believing I would be the best-dressed person in the room. (I once wore a pencil skirt and 5 inch heels to a normal day of classes in the 9th grade). That tradition carried into the first year or so of my work life – where I would also wear unbearably high heels most days, and on a "casual day" I would at least wear a pressed, dress shirt.
However, I think the perspective of things is changing in our work culture. I believe that my generation is far more casual, not just in dress, but in so many areas of life. We're casual in business, we're casual in communication, we're casual about relationships. We're much less focused on what a person is wearing when we first meet them, rather than what they can bring to the table. We're growing up in an extremely self-aware age that is, despite older generations believing this or not, much more real.
Everyone seems to think that our generation centralizes around narcissism, when in reality – the selfies, the online mingling, it all relates back to finding people who are being so open about their personal lives that we can easily relate to them. While all of that may seem off topic – it isn't. It all relates back to how we are presenting ourselves – which is totally real. We're put off by flash and "power mongrels". We'd rather meet and work with genuine people who show up as they are, people we can relate to, instead of trying to command a presence with their attire. The people who have the most social followings online are the ones who share their embarrassingly real stories, not the ones who look like they have totally perfect lives. And so – in a new work environment, we'd rather meet people we feel we can relate with and connect to, than people who seem so calculated or stuck up in their appearance.
The older I get, the more of a truth this becomes, not just in our generation, but the generation after mine. The tricky part is- we're not always dealing with our generation. At this age, I mostly deal with the generation before me – who still wants to be wildly impressed by "how mature we seem". They genuinely value a well- dressed person and I believe, equate that with success – whereas so many successful people our age are typically dressed in jeans and hoodies, sitting behind a computer drinking coffee most of the day. We've just learned to measure things differently.
That being said, I think it's important as a young professional to understand both sides of that. If I know I'm going to be meeting someone older than me, someone who thinks differently, I know what I need to do to make them see me as powerful, or full of potential. I need to dress up. I need to wear that pencil skirt, that dress shirt. I need to make them see me as an anomaly- a young person that has their life together. I have to set myself apart from the crowd. The understanding of that type of thinking can't be dismissed. It would be foolish to try to. Impressing those people is so important because they run so much of our world. But the reality is, I'm sitting in those meetings – looking smart, and focused – but my mind can't stop thinking about getting home and putting on pajamas. The thought of kicking off my stilettos is dominating my mind – rather than the actual work I'm doing.
When I'm comfortable, when I'm in "athleisure" as this article put it – I'm crawling on the ground organizing things just so. I'm running from the front of the office to the back of the office in 2 minutes flat instead of wobbling down the hallway trying not to sprain an ankle. I'm ready for the next eight hours of work, or even ten hours some days, because I'm at ease. I can move. I can relax. And I can let my brain focus on what it really needs to, without fabric starch getting in the way.
That being said – I think that there is a time and a place for both, and it's so important to take into account the age group of people you're dealing with, as well as the type of encounter (a job interview, etc.). It's hard for me to really pick a side to this argument because I'm caught between the two worlds."
Interestingly, we both came to somewhat the same conclusion, which is to dress for the audience and the circumstance, although I still believe that pants without a zipper lead to weight gain, and sloppy appearance equates itself with sloppy work…. Just sayin'.

Updated June 19, 2019 Gmail can be used without an internet connection if you enable the Gmail Offline feature. Gmail Offline is handled entirely in the Chrome web browser, letting you search through, read, delete, label, and even respond to email without an internet connection, like if you're on a plane, in a tunnel, or camping out away from cell phone service. Once your computer connects to a working network, any emails you've queued up to send, will be sent, and new emails will be downloaded or changed just as you requested them to be when offline. How to Enable Gmail Offline It's pretty simple to configure Gmail Offline but it's only available through the Google Chrome web browser, which works with Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chromebooks. You can't just open Gmail once you're offline and expect that to work. You have to set it up while you have an active internet connection. Then, whenever you lose the connection, you can be confident that offline Gmail will work. To start, open Chrome, and sign in to your Gmail account. From your inbox, select the gear icon in the upper right to open the Settings menu. Choose Settings from that menu. You'll arrive in Chrome's Settings tab. Across the top of your window, you'll see different category tabs. Locate and select Offline. There won't be much on the Offline page at first. Turn your attention to the checkbox labeled Enable offline mail, and check it. Several more options will populate the window, allowing you to control how Gmail handles your offline settings. First, take a look at Sync settings, and choose how long you want Gmail to store your offline mail and whether or not you want it to download attachments. Next, under Security, pick whether you want Gmail to erase your offline mail when you sign out of your Google account. When you're happy with your settings, press Save Changes. You can always revisit this screen to modify your settings at a later date. On a Shared or Public Computer? Delete the Cache Gmail Offline is clearly very beneficial, and can even be useful temporarily. However, someone else can potentially have access to your entire Gmail account if your computer is left unattended. Make sure you delete the offline Gmail cache when you're done using Gmail on a public computer. How to Use Gmail Offline Without Chrome To access Gmail offline without Google Chrome, you can use an email client. When an email program is installed with the proper SMTP and POP3 or IMAP server settings configured, all your messages are downloaded to your computer. Since they're no longer being pulled from Gmail's servers, you can read, search, and queue new Gmail messages even while offline. Continue Reading
