Do You Avoid Taking Risks in Life?
It is true that some people try to avoid taking any risk in life. They can only accomplish this by not acting on any proposition ever. There are many reasons for this, maybe they have low self esteem, maybe they have made bad decisions in the past. Whatever the reasons, you cannot live in the past, dwell on past mistakes or bad decisions for the remainder of your days.
Consider pulling the mistakes and bad decisions out in the open, the first step is to recognise that these issues exist, you then have an opportunity to deal with them. Start by thinking about these issues, writing them down is is a big step towards finding solutions to them.
Finance is usually a big one, there is not always enough cash to go around, you probably work long and hard at your place of work but appear to be standing still. In reality you are moving backwards, taxes increase steadily and stealthily and, the cost of living will continue to rise in line with the de-valuation of the pound in your pocket.
You will have to be very firm with yourself now, if you hide from this problem it will only get worse. Start planning to reduce your debt immediately, every pound extra that you pay off your credit cards will help to reduce your interest and outstanding balance, the same goes for your mortgage, check to see if your mortgage provider will allow higher payments to reduce the outstanding amount quicker.
Investigate opportunities where you work, they may have vacancies in areas that will allow you to earn more, or the opportunity to move up a rung or two. Don't be afraid to ask, faint heart never won fair lady! Remember that everything is negotiable but you have to be persistent.
Maybe you have tried to earn some additional income, perhaps you have tried this on one to many occasions and feel fed up with things not working out for you. What ever area you are looking in, to make sure that you give yourself a better chance of success, do your research. If the business or offer you are looking into is reputable, they will have contact details, a privacy policy, terms and conditions and clear guarantees, it also helps to give credibility if bonafide merchant services are in evidence, for example World Pay or similar.
I don't have a crystal ball but I can tell you that giving up is not the answer. You have to shake yourself off and continue looking and learning, you are worth the effort. Nothing worth having will come easily and you never know when a particular idea will pay off.
Hold your head up and take a deep breath, keep looking for the one idea or opportunity that will change your life around. Keep an open mind and dis-regard nothing until you have looked into it. Successful people follow the route of other successful people, keep that in mind, if something has worked for someone else it will work for you!
This message is for you to take notice of where your life is going, Good luck.

In this episode I introduce my son Josh, and he talks about viewing the cells of a butterfly wing through a microscope in school. He also gets into how viruses work, and why they do what they do.
Josh is 12 years old and is finishing up 6th grade. He's always been a very science-minded intellectual kid and takes interest in doing thought experiments on things like "what is reality, consciousness, is there a god, is the universe chaos or design, the existence of souls or not," etc. It gets pretty deep down the rabbit hole pretty quickly with this kid lol.
We've always believed in allowing him free-speech to express himself. We treat him like an adult that just has less years of experience with the controller we're all riding around in.

The aim of this thesis is to study and identify time periods of high activity in commodity and stock market sentiment based on a data mining approach. The method is to develop tools to extract relevant information from web searches and Twitter feeds based on the tally of certain keywords and their combinations at regular intervals. Periods of high activity are identified by a measure of complexity developed for analysis of living systems. Experiments were conducted to see if the measure of activity could be applied as a predictor of changes in stock market and commodity prices.

Fixed-rate, long-term (contract) plans provide stability in electricity rates. If market energy costs suddenly trend upward where you live, you can rest assured that you won't have to pay more out of pocket. However, if you want to switch to a different, lower-cost plan before the end of the contract term, you'll likely have to pay a cancellation or early termination fee.
We have taken the legwork out of shopping for plans by providing the most straight-forward electricity shopping experience anywhere. We show you the best deals from the most respected, reputable providers in Houston. Our providers offer great electricity rates and provide a consistently high level of customer satisfaction. Our customers regularly report huge savings on their electric bills.
While there is a very strong argument for providing cheap, subsidized power for the poorest in society, this should be done in a way that limits subsidies to the really deserving and the system as a whole needs to be able to charge tariffs that on average cover all costs. If this doesn't happen then all manner of bad things will follow. As you might guess prices have been set too low by African governments. These subsidies have also been made too widely available, benefitting the elite and middle classes more than the poor (who, not having good access to the grid in the first place, don't have ready access to these subsidies).
Prepaid electricity plans are yet another option available to Texas customers. Prepaid plans let you avoid credit checks and deposits by pre-paying for your electricity. Prepaid electricity plans typically do not have a fixed duration and operate on a pay-as-you-go basis. Shopping for prepaid electricity can often yield relatively cheap electricity with no deposit. See Prepaid Electricity: Is It Right For Me? for more.
There are over 60 different energy suppliers competing for your business on any given day in Texas. Many of these electric companies have websites that are confusing and nearly impossible to navigate, their rates and fees hidden by dense industry jargon and misleading advertising. Who has the spare the time to sort through the choices spread out over all these different sites and companies?

League history will be made when fifth-ranked Kamehameha and No. 2 Mid-Pacific square off at Central Oahu Regional Park today at 6 p.m.
For the first time, at least in Dunn Muramaru's memory, an Interscholastic League of Honolulu baseball game will be televised.
"We're more worried about this being a night game," said Muramaru, Mid-Pacific's coach. "We have to prepare. We have lights in our cages, so we've been doing that, but fly balls, that's a crapshoot. They gotta figure it out. I'm not worried about that."
The Owls are 4-1 in league play, second only to Punahou.
"They're more mature than last year. Last year, we might've lost three or four of these games. They know how to handle the adversity," Muramaru said.
Sophomore Matthew McDaniel (0-0), who has impressed Muramaru with his poise, will take the mound for MPI.
Then, as the season uncoils, the list solidifies. Stronger teams prove their believers right. Other teams get shaken off.
Last week, 26 teams got at least one point in the voting. This week, voters whittled the list down to 23. By season's end, there are usually no more than 15 teams that still get a vote.
This season could be different, though. The breadth of quality teams is astounding, even though there is a noticeable absence of former powerhouse Molokai.
The list of traditionally formidable programs that are sitting in the on-deck circle (not ranked) include Aiea, Moanalua, Baldwin, Castle, Waianae, and on and on.
Punahou, meanwhile, is a constant. The Buffanblu are off to a 5-0 start in ILH play and collected all 15 first-place votes in today's Star-Bulletin Top 10.
Pearl City, the early favorite in the Oahu Interscholastic Association, dominated its first two league opponents and nudged up to No. 4 in the poll.
Kailua (6-16), meanwhile, entered the Top 10 at No. 8.
The Surfriders have long made it a normal pattern to struggle in nonconference play before blossoming after the league schedule starts.
The Surfriders scored four runs in the bottom of the fifth to break open a 4-4 game. Keenan Tanaka sparked the rally with a two-run double, and Marcus Mathews added a two-run single.
At Kailua H.S. Field
Travis Eugenio, Kevin Van Ness (6) and Kaika Sasaoka; Zack Akamine, Marcus Mathews (4) and Rayner Yokoi. W--Mathews. L--Eugenio.
Leading hitters--Kail: Kili Vierra 3-4, 2b; Kainoa Uemoto 2-3, 2b; Preston Nakata 3-3, 2b; Keenan Tanaka 2-3, 2b, 4 RBIs; Mathews 2-2, 2 RBIs.

It saddens me to think that through all the documented evidence of misconduct by the FBI, Leonard Peltier is still held in a federal prison. They have received their pound of flesh plus more from the Native American people and still want more. What greed and pure supermacy of a government, yet they still fight their wars all in the name of Freedom and Justice!

 It is time to free Leonard Peltier, it is time to right the wrong the government has done to the Native American people.

Finding & Engaging with Relevant Hashtags
Hashtags seem to be a topic of debate. Are they really helping your engagement? How you can leverage them to increase your reach to your target audience? While many great platforms such as Iconosquare exist to outline which of your hashtags are most successful, we have a DIY process that will help you find the most relevant and useful hashtags to use to ensure that your target audience is viewing your content.
Finding Your Hashtags
All you need is a pen, paper, and about 20 minutes of your day.
Step 1: Write out all "keywords" that you feel best represent your brand. For example, "ethical fashion, sustainable fashion, organic skincare, green beauty," etc.
Step 2: Plug one of those words into Instagram and click "Tags."
Step 3: Click on the hashtag you plugged in and an entire page of content will come up. First, examine the number of posts that fall under that hashtag. If it is a popular tag, you know that a large audience is looking for content that resonates with that tag, therefore, it is probably a good fit. However, you may want to stick to keywords that are not over 1 Million posts because you post can easily get lost in that much content. I try to stay between 50,000 – 300,000 posts.
Step 3: Next, look at the "related" bar, where you can see words that relate to the keyword you originally input.
Engaging Your Hashtags
Now, to ensure that your posts are being seen by that target audience, and to really engage with them, the next trick is pretty easy.
Once you have begun posting hashtags with your content, you'll want to click through those hashtags, back to the page that we saw in Step 3. Scroll through all of the content under that hashtag, and create genuine conversations with the owners of those accounts. Interacting on a daily basis with your target hashtags, their users, and their audience, will help Instagram link your account to those hashtags, and that type of content, ensuring that the audience of those tags are seeing your posts.
Getting all of these ideas down on paper can really help you to focus on developing the direction of your brand. If you need a better outline, or some more guidance, RISE Creative would love to come alongside you and put together an easy-to-execute marketing strategy.
Written by Marisa Flacks, Founder of RISE Creative

Sempervivums - The outdoor succulents that can survive in the UK
UK Outdoor Succulents
We're often asked in the shop about succulents that can be placed outside in UK gardens all year round. It's kind of a tricky one. In our climate they get too wet, a little too cold and often just start to rot. We have however grown Echeveria Miranda and Haworthia Fasciata succulents in our window boxes at home. They are very much under cover though, receiving hardly any rain. They cope quite well and are producing loads of pups. If you're looking for something with a little more guarantee then go for Sempervivums.
These succulent shaped plants are a super easy way to approach a window box. Sempervivum care and maintenance is minimal. Their pretty rosettes, almost bloom like shapes withstand a bit of a battering in a UK garden. The sempervivums produce pups and offsets when loving life, covering the floor in clones of itself. We often break them off and throw them into a pot of soil to takeover. Sempervivums flower too:
How do we use sempervivums?
We have people bring outdoor vessels often into our north London terrarium shop for potting up. Below is a wide terracotta bowl brought in by a customer. We paid up some sempervivums and sedums together for a hardy but interesting display.

The loonie gained ground Friday after the release of upbeat job data. In particular, the currency rallied against the greenback as the US employment data was worse than anticipated. In fact, the US dollar was the worst performing currency last week in the Forex market. Another reason for the greenback's weakness is the increasing likelihood of a Fed rate cut. However, the US dollar may reverse trend due to the suspension of trade tariffs on Mexican goods.
Statistics Canada announced that the economy added 27,700 jobs in May, higher than the 5,000 anticipated by economists. The figures, however, were much below the 106,500 jobs added in April. Still, economists and think tanks are impressed that the market can add jobs even after a strong jump in April. Notably, most of the gains are from full-time jobs. Similarly, the unemployment rate declined from 5.7% to 5.4%. Analysts were pleasantly surprised as no change was expected.
In a separate release, Statistics Canada revealed a slight decline in the capacity utilization rate to 80.9% in 1Q19, from 81.8% in the fourth-quarter of 2018, reflecting the third successive decline. The reported figure was in line with analysts' estimates.
In the US, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the US economy added just 75,000 jobs last month, missing analysts' median estimate of 185,000. The government also downwardly revised its April jobs report from 263,000 to 224,000. Likewise, March's gain was trimmed from 189,000 to 153,000. Most of the employment-related activities took place in professional and business services and healthcare. The unemployment rate stood unchanged at a 49-year low of 3.6%. The average hourly wage increased only six cents to $27.83 per hour. However, the 12-month rate of hourly wage gains declined from 3.2% to 3.1%.
Following the weak economic data, the US dollar plunged on worries over a possible economic slowdown. If the trend continues, then the Fed may opt to slash interest rates to boost economic growth. As per the latest minutes of the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting, Fed Chair Jerome Powell has shown openness towards slashing interest rates. St. Louis Fed Bank President James Bullard has argued that a rate cut may be required due to low inflation and trade spat with China. The market has already started betting that benchmark interest rates will be slashed to 2.25%, from 2.50% by next month. CME Group's FedWatch tool data indicate that the market is forecasting a rate cut in July. Some speculators are expecting the interest rate to go down to as low as 1% by December.
The import duty announced early last week on Mexican goods made investors ponder the likely negative impact it could have on the US economy and whether it will encourage the US Fed to announce a rate cut. The weak nonfarm payrolls data strengthened the market's expectation of a rate cut. However, Trump's decision to indefinitely suspend the import duty on Mexican goods has once again made the participants think whether there will be any new twist on Fed's plans.
Even though the economic data favors strengthening of the Canadian dollar, the suspension of import duty on Mexican goods may cause a trend reversal in the USD/CAD pair in the week ahead.
Technically, the USD/CAD pair broke several support levels last week. The next major support is anticipated only at 1.3080. The currency pair is also trading below its 50-day moving average. Additionally, the momentum indicator is making new lows. As a result, we can expect the currency pair to remain bearish in the short-term.

Discovering Caramels
I first learned about Fran's Gray Salt Caramels from Shauna of Gluten-Free Girl, who posted about them in October as the ultimate pick-me-up. My thoughts at the time went something like this:
- It's been ages since I've had a caramel, though we always got a few on any trip to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory when I was little...
- I've heard about salted caramels, but never actually had one--what a gaping hole in my food exploration!
- They look good and I'd really like to try one. Right now.
- Too bad these seem to be local to Seattle.
Yes, you can order these caramels on the internet, but I've mostly tried to avoid buying food online. It's my own arbitrary line in the sand to keep my cupboard's from overflowing with more of the latest artisanal this or that than I can actually eat. It's fair game if I find it in a store, but once I open up my pantry to the cornucopia of internet shopping, I'm done for. Not having any plans to visit Seattle, I did my best to stop salivating over this fantastic photo and forget about Fran's Gray Salt Caramels. (Apparently I'm not the only one drooling: congrats to Shauna on her photo taking top place in the Eatability category in DMBLGIT? #11, hosted by Moira of Who Wants Seconds?) However, The Accidental Scientist's rendition of Gourmet Magazine's October Butter Rum Caramels recipe got me mulling over the idea of making my own salted caramels. Though I'm quite experienced at working with chocolate, I have zero practical knowledge of caramel. I already own all the requisite tools and wouldn't need to buy a single ingredient. I have a handful of recipes to choose from. Yet, I've heard and read just enough to be afraid. This would require more research, not just into the actual making of caramels, but into a better understanding of what defines a top-notch caramel. In the elusive search for chocolate molds sold locally--I failed completely and am still waiting for the arrival of the ones I ordered from Confectionery House that I had hoped would be here already--I figured I'd stop by the Menlo Park Draeger's, which used to sell molds. Not anymore. Well, actually, they still sell a few butter pat molds, but those small, one-cavity rubber things just won't do. However, Draeger's does still have an excellent high-end and imported chocolates and, it turns out, caramels. Figuring I'd do a little research for my salted caramel scheme, I picked up the first ones I saw. This being a rather small world with a funny way of things coming full circle, just over a month after learning about and dismissing the possibility of trying Fran's Gray Salted Caramels, there I was with a box in hand. A few weeks later still, here I am bringing my discovery back to the Web.These are beautiful confections. I'm still trying to figure out how they get the swoopy ridge across the top. The website says they are all hand-dipped, so it must be masterful turning of the chocolate tail or some such skillfulness, though if I didn't know better I would think it was the work of fancy machinery. Personally, I'd opt for a slightly darker, earthier chocolate than the 56% Fran uses (I only have baking quantities of 64% and 70% in the kitchen at the moment anyway) and would go ever so slightly lighter on the salt: Oren, whose taste for salt hasn't evolved as far as mine, found it a little overwhelming. That's fine though; it means the rest are all mine. Really these comments are to optimize for my own tastes, though these caramels aren't far off from my ideal as is. I certainly encourage the salted caramel lovers of the world to seek them out. So does NASFT, which awarded them the 2003 outstanding confection winner. I paid $11 for a 3oz box of 7 at Draeger's. You can get a 6oz box from Fran's Chocolates directly for $22.

After tapping Chris LaMartina to helm the video for 'Fruits,' Natural Velvet has again brought the horror-movie director back for the visual accompaniment to its song 'Crash,' this time as editor. But this video, directed by Nick Baldwin, still has plenty of quick cuts, splashy colors, and camp.
In it, bassist and singer Corynne Ostermann stumbles upon a fancy party where she is followed by a spooky bearded doppelganger (drag performer Klitorika Browne). The band is performing on stage, with all the members dressed in suits. Discussing 'Crash' with Impose Magazine, where it premiered, the band says the video touches on some of the ideas of femme identity and gender performance.
"What makes femininity in the public sphere read so 'soft'? Can femininity be something that is aggressive? Where does femininity and performance lie, in regards to being an artist, both in and out of the public sphere? ('Bedroom politics' via riot grrrl, etc). We're consistently thinking about these things, being femme identified and interacting with it/removed from it always."
The band's new album, "She Is Me," is out now via Friends Records. Stream 'Crash' below:

CPMA's Ron Lemaire Celebrates Half Your Plate Program and Announces a New Dietician Position
MONTREAL, CANADA - Long before the healthy-eating bandwagon left the station, produce and health went hand-in-hand and still go hand-in-hand today. But in an ever-crowded market for healthy food, a few produce folks are stepping up to make sure the messaging of fresh fruit and veg still shines through. Enter the Canadian Produce Marketing Association, which is pushing forward a few programs, both at the CPMA Convention and Trade Show on April 2-4 and beyond, to ensure consumers everywhere not only know the benefits of fresh produce, but celebrate them forever and always.
I sat down with the association's President Ron Lemaire to find out more about the new Canada's Food Guide and the Half Your Plate program before the grand trade show kicks off next week.
"The new Canada's Food Guide is an important pillar of the government's ambitious Healthy Eating Strategy. CPMA has long advocated for evidence-based policy making in the government, and the new Food Guide is a shining example of this principle. The new Canada's Food Guide is also a unique opportunity for buyers and suppliers to push the Half Your Plate messaging and encourage Canadians to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables," Ron explained to me. "Canadians are eager to adopt healthier diets and the new Food Guide is a vital resource for consumers to educate themselves on diet-related habits and recipes. CPMA applauds the government for the release of the new Canada's Food Guide."
Much of CPMA's latest efforts hinge on the fact that over 80 percent of Canadians did not consume the recommended number of fruits and vegetables per day, according to The Economic Benefits of Fruit and Vegetable Consumption study by H. Kruger & Associates in 2016. Ron also noted that the economic burden attributable to low produce intake today is $4.4 billion in direct and indirect costs. To remedy these numbers, the Half Your Plate program was established and designed to promote the benefits of filling "Half Your Plate" with produce at every meal. The program also aims to decrease the economic burden that results in eating unhealthy foods and boost the produce industry's sales.
"The Half Your Plate message is unmistakable. It's a clear, easy-to-remember phrase that can guide consumers to living healthier. We're committed to showing everyone how easy it is to incorporate fruits and vegetables into every meal via tips, tricks, and recipes available on www.halfyourplate.ca, our Instagram (@HalfYourPlateCanada) or Pinterest (Half Your Plate). Consumers can even ask us directly on any of these platforms," Ron said. "In addition, the visuals in the new Canada's Food Guide match our Half Your Plate imaging, amplifying our message. We hope to see fruit and vegetable consumption increase correspondingly. We look forward to continuing to promote this positive messaging."
Lastly, CPMA is also welcoming a Dietician to its team to amplify their healthy eating initiatives, highlighting the Half Your Plate program as a part of its long-standing partnership with the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Canadian Public Health Association, and the Canadian Cancer Society. This new position will help the association connect with health practitioners who are looking for usable resources on promoting the consumption of produce.
"We're happy to continue to grow our network of dieticians and offer more assets to our members to drive their business. The success of Half Your Plate is a team effort, and we know that health practitioners, particularly dieticians, are on the front lines when it comes to spreading this message. Not to mention that many retailers are now adding dieticians to their staff to help guide consumers' healthy decisions. Thus, it's important to get our messaging out to this tight-knit network," Ron shared. "We are eagerly anticipating having this new resource available to our members to help everyone develop their business using evidence-based information pertaining to the consumption of fruits and vegetables. We encourage all health practitioners who want to learn more about getting our promotional materials to please contact us."
Interested in learning more and soon? Dieticians attending the CPMA Cconvention will have the opportunity to partake in the Dieticians Sessions, giving them the chance to get up close and personal with the association's newest resource. The sessions, both interactive and educational, aim to connect the dietician community and educate attendees on important issues within their profession, including fruits and vegetables for IBS, client-based barriers that dieticians experience, food styling and food photography, Half Your Plate resources, and CPMA food safety and regulatory issues.
Registration is still open for the convention at convention.cpma.ca. Register today to take part in the biggest event dedicated to fresh produce in Canada—it is sure to be unforgettable!

OAK ISLAND, North Carolina — A Dayton-area boy is safe after rescue crews rushed to help him from an inflatable raft in the ocean off Oak Island, N.C., last week.
"We've rescued dozens of these things over the years, and this is the first time there was actually a little kid attached to it," said Oak Island Water Rescue Chief Tony Young.
Young said the raft acted like a sail and the boy was unable to stop it, leading to him being stranded in the ocean.

"They immediately called 911 when they realized they couldn't reach him, and they also told him to stay on the float. A lot of the time, people get in trouble if they abandon ship and try to swim back," Young said.
The incident happened at the beach last Monday.
Water rescue crews don't discourage anyone from using these types of inflatable floats, but do say it's important to either anchor them or have a parent hold onto a line attached to the device.
Oak Island Water Rescue had a rescue boat in the water less than 15 minutes after the call for help came in. The rescue team is made up of volunteers, Young said they do this because they want to help.
"Handing that little kid back to his mom after we brought him in from way out in the ocean on that float was payment enough for all of us. I'm sure I speak for the whole team when it comes to that," Young said.
