Calm day in Ferguson takes dark turn
FERGUSON, Missouri – A day of healing and uplift took a violent turn as protesters were doused with tear gas yet again after Molotov cocktails were reportedly hurled at police. Missouri Governor Jay Nixon announced early Monday that he was "directing the highly capable men and women of the Missouri National Guard to assist," in restoring peace and order to the community.
Late Sunday into Monday marked the worst night of violence in this St. Louis suburb that has been engulfed in tensions since a white police officer killed an unarmed black teenager on Aug. 9.

It is essential that when choosing the flooring for your home that you consider certain factors before deciding on what type of floor to have in each of the rooms of your house. You can get some excellent advice on the realestate.com.au website on choosing your flooring, and below are some of the most important considerations that you need to think about when choosing your flooring.
Pets & Children
If you have pets and children in your home, then you are going to have to choose a suitable flooring material for your house that is going to be able to stand up to the abuse that it may receive. Children can often be messy and also clumsy, so you will want to choose a flooring that is going to be easy to clean, and will not show up stains easily. Pets can also create a mess on the floor, especially if you are housetraining them, and their paws can traipse mud and dirt throughout your home. A wooden floor may be the best option in these circumstances, and you can see the best timber flooring Melbourne suppliers like Market Timbers have to offer by searching the internet using your favourite search engine.
How Much Traffic Does The Floor Receive?
Another important consideration is the amounts of foot traffic the floor will receive, and if it is going to be high, you will need to ensure that you choose a durable material for your floor. A room such as a kitchen will receive a lot of foot traffic and also possibly a lot of spillages, and as such you may be best to choose either vinyl flooring or even a tiled floor. Both of these types of floors are easy to clean and are hard wearing so will last for a considerable amount of time.
What Is Your Budget?
Your budget is also an essential factor that you will need to take into account. If you have a small budget, then you may not be able to afford a solid oak engineered floor and may have to choose a cheaper option such as vinyl flooring. No matter what your budget is, there are quality solutions available to you, although you may need to alter your preferences so that you stay on budget.
Your Lifestyle
You will also need to take into account your lifestyle when choosing the best flooring options for your home. If you lead a busy life and do not have a lot of free time, you will want to select a flooring option that is easy to maintain. Wooden flooring is a good option as it is easier and quicker to sweep wooden floors with a brush than it is to use a vacuum cleaner to clean carpets around your home.
Eco-Friendly Options
If you wish to choose a flooring material that is environmentally friendly, then wooden floors are a good option. Much of the wood that is used for a wooden floor comes from sustainable sources, and unlike carpets, no harmful dyes or chemicals are required to produce them. A bamboo floor is one of the best solutions for an eco-friendly floor, although bamboo is not as hard wearing as oak or other types of wooden floors.

text: From: Marina . Hi all, Hands up to those of you who are addicted to property. I know I am, and so is my husband. We started our journey 2 and a half years ago, and wow what are journey. We cannot stop. We thought we had purchased our last property, due to the fact that we were close to a million in debt but nope, we had to do it again. We are addicted!!!!!!!!!! A couple of months ago we had a bit of fear in us about purchasing another property, but after reading some more inspirational books, and attending the STeve Navra seminar (Thanks so much for the motivation and inspiration) we decided YES WE CAN DO IT AGAIN. When you can see the growth working, and the compound effect working, and you find you have the serviceability and the finance structure is correct its hard to stop. Every waking moment is spent learning, reading, digesting and planning. Don't get me wrong, we do have a life outside property, but it has become a hobby that has so motivated us, inspired us and made us truly happier within ourselves. It is what drives us, knowing that in the not too distant future we will truly be out of the rat race. We got out the $15 calculator just the other night and played with the figures of what we have and what we are planning, and the future capital growth, and I tell you what the figures looked scary. It was hard to believe that we achieved so much in such little time, and when I saw the compounding effect on the calculator it was unbelievable seeing the 7 digits. We have totally changed our lives around. I mean we are not truly free as such just yet but on the way. Remember it is not how much you earn, but how you invest your money. I don't post as much as I used to, but I just want to say thankyou to this forum for all the wonderful information it has given me over the last 2 and a half years. I have learnt so much from all the wonderful and helpful people on this forum, especially Rolf, Dale, TW. Every post has been a help. Thankyou to Jan and Ian for such a wonderful site. Marina.

Welcome to the world of Mobile Performance Marketing! We're so glad you've come to check out our Taplytics Academy. Hopefully, what you find here is helpful and will be a great guide along your path toward growth for your mobile app. This Academy focuses on short, bite-sized lessons that, week-by-week, go through everything that anyone building or marketing a mobile app should know to drive real and sustainable growth.
What's Covered?
With this first lesson, we are going to start off with a simple introduction to Mobile Performance Marketing. We will also set you off with some foundational materials that you should consider as you embark on building and growing the user base of your mobile app.
Performance Marketing is all about being results-driven and driving specific actions such as acquisitions and sales. In the advertising world, Performance Marketing means paying only when users take these actions.
In the world of mobile, Performance Marketing takes on a whole new meaning. It is all about making decisions for your app that are 100% focused on providing value to your customer and their experience. In the end, you'll want to craft great experiences to drive your customer to take the actions that are most important to your app.
For instance, if your app is retail, the most important action will be a sale. If you have a social app, it will be adding friends to build a strong network and so on. No matter what type of app you're building, Performance Marketing allows you to focus on what's important and helps you to be smart about how you achieve your goals in the growth of your app.
Even a casual online marketer knows to look at what they spend to acquire a user to makes sure those acquisition costs are less than their lifetime value or ability to bring in more users on your behalf.
Results-Driven vs. Data-Driven
You may have been hearing a lot about being data-driven lately. While useful when you understand how to leverage data to inform decisions, it's a concept being pushed by analytics providers to encourage you to instrument analytics events. But what do you do once you have those events tracked?
Most people look at acquisition graphs, simple funnels, and sales data. They make decisions for their products based off of this information in a non-contextual way, without direct comparisons. The problem with being data-driven is that data alone will not help you achieve success.
Performance Marketing is all about being results-driven, not data-driven. Being results-driven naturally forces you to focus on the key actions that drive desired outcomes for your mobile app and to find ways to increase those outcomes in whatever way you can.
Results-Driven Experiences
Mobile has always been about personal experiences. It's the medium that has enabled us to find a personal connection with content and brands in a digital age. So by nature, Mobile Performance Marketing requires that personal experiences be results-driven. But how can you be results-driven when it comes to experiences?
Every experience you present to a customer, must focus on a desired action, so you should measure every event that leads (or doesn't) lead to that action.
A/B Testing
A core part of Mobile Performance Marketing is A/B testing, whether that is testing features, interfaces or notifications. A/B testing is core to Performance Marketing because it allows you to get rid of the noise of general data and analytics and gets you to focus on actionable results.
Release your changes as an A/B test, with key actions as goals to be results-driven
Performance Marketing in Practice
It's great to read about Mobile Performance Marketing and being results-driven, but it's another thing to do it. To help you on your journey to becoming a Mobile Growth Pro, how we've structured Taplytics Academy is to give you step-by-step guides. These guides have real-life, practical examples to ensure that you have best-practice strategies to grow your app.
Important Reading Material
We will try our best to give you all the knowledge pieces you need, but there are still some great foundational articles and courses out there that you should probably read if you haven't already. Below are a few on growth, analytics and conversion rate optimization that we've lovingly hand picked to get you started.
Whenever possible, Taplytics Academy will also point you in the direction of great 3rd party material so that you can enhance your learning and skills.

Achieving Cures Together is proud to recognize Amanda Kabage as the 2019 Robert E. Wilkens award winner. This award was created in honor of the late Robert E. Wilkens, who was dedicated in both life and legacy to finding cures and providing healing through Microbiota Therapeutics research. We are honored each year to recognize an outstanding member of the community who is continuing this mission. Amanda has an inspiring story and brings a unique perspective, passion, and determination to her life-saving work every single day. In 2012, Amanda was suffering from an antibiotic resistant superbug, Clostridium difficile. She battled this horrific superbug for 14 months and quickly found herself unable to work, travel, exercise, or participate in things she loved to do. Frustrated by this debilitating superbug and the standard antibiotic treatment cycles, she started researching a novel therapy now known as Intestinal Microbiota Transplant (IMT). In 2013, Amanda was given an IMT by Dr. Khoruts at the University of Minnesota and was healed! Through her direct experience, Amanda changed career paths from pediatric cancer research and joined the University of Minnesota Microbiota Therapeutics team. As an integral member of the team, Amanda helped establish the first stool donor program in the world, has been involved in countless groundbreaking microbiome research studies, and has inspired, given hope, and helped cure many suffering patients. In 2016, Robert Wilkens met Amanda at an Achieving Cures Together meeting. He was very impressed with her and at that moment, knew Amanda was a key player in microbial restoration research. Robert would be extremely proud to know that Amanda carries on his legacy today and Achieving Cures Together is honored to present this award to such a deserving individual.read more

Robert E. Wilkens was an active leader and dedicated advisor for Achieving Cures Together. Upon his passing last September, our organization, his friends, and his family were deeply saddened. Given his commitment to our mission, we felt compelled to honor him and created the Robert E. Wilkens award. Robert had a special intuition for spotting opportunities. He was very successful in his endeavors throughout life, and as a businessman, he had an unrivaled work ethic and a burning passion to learn. Most importantly however, Robert was a loving father and grandfather. He had a big heart for people and was determined and committed to progressing cures and alleviating suffering. He believed in Achieving Cures Together and was beyond generous with his time and treasure. Much of our early success can be attributed to his leadership and generosity. We will be forever grateful for his work as an advisor and supporter and we are humbled to present this award to exemplary members of our community. Grit and determination. Two words to describe Ashley Margarit as she crossed the finish line at the Twin Cities Marathon this past October. Not only did Ashley finish her first marathon on arguably one of the toughest race courses in the country, but she completed the marathon while battling a flare of Ulcerative Colitis. Her determination to finish the race and her commitment to Achieving Cures Together gives us the honor and privilege to recognize Ashley Margarit as the 1st recipient of the Robert E. Wilkens award. Congratulations Ashley, and thank you for your spirit of hard work and perseverance.read more

Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is the most common hospital-acquired infection in the U.S., and has become a global public health issue. The infection can cause a range of gastrointestinal symptoms, which estimates suggest ultimately result in nearly 30,000 deaths every year in the U.S. alone. While the most significant risk factor for CDI is antibiotic treatment, studies in mice by a team at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine now provide new evidence that connects the use of common nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) with increased severity of CDI. Their results also point to the molecular mechanisms that underpin this link.read more

A new documentary film (due to be released early next year) looks at the effect of Fecal Microbiota Transplants (FMT) for a number of diseases including C. diff which has been shown to have a cure rate of 90%! Despite these amazing results, many medical professionals are still unaware of this treatment and its efficacy. Throughout the film, director Saffron Cassaday, who herself has suffered from ulcerative colitis for nearly a decade, interviews several leading researchers and medical experts, including those who are working on different methods for delivering this life-saving treatment. Her investigation takes her down a path she did not expect to travel and enlightens her on the power "poop" has to affect our health, happiness and possibly even our physical appearance. The goal of the film is to raise awareness of this medical breakthrough and the importance of maintaining a healthy gut microbiome in hopes that lives can be saved and the escalation of Super Bugs and Chronic Diseases can be curtailed. Although the film will not be released for several months you can follow the filmmakers and access information about FMT from their website www.designershitdocumentary.com.read more
If you're remotely connected to the world of wellness today, you've probably heard of the microbiome—the mini-ecosystem of microorganisms that make up the human body. In fact, over the last decade, the microbiome has become one of the trendiest areas of biology, and the research has made clear that the microbiome is fundamental to overall health. While the newfound cultural awareness is great, the focus is often misguided. Here's the thing: the supplement industry has hijacked the conversation with it's "pill for an ill" ethos.read more
Two new studies led by researchers at the University of Illinois have delivered the first clear evidence that the composition of gut bacteria can be changed by exercise alone. Designed to isolate the effects of exercise from other factors that could influence gut bacteria, these dual studies build on an increasing body of evidence affirming the role of exercise in determining the makeup of a person's gut microbiome.read more
Researchers have singled out a bacterial enzyme behind an imbalance in the gut microbiome linked to Crohn's disease. The new study suggests that wiping out a significant portion of the bacteria in the gut microbiome, and then re-introducing a certain type of 'good' bacteria that lacks this enzyme, known as urease, may be an effective approach to better treat these diseases.read more

A fecal transplant is exactly what it sounds like: To treat certain gut disorders, doctors transfer stool from a healthy donor to a sick patient. Just a few years ago, only a few doctors turned to fecal transplants, typically as a last resort. But in randomized trials, the procedure has proved remarkably effective against potentially fatal infections of bacteria known as Clostridioides difficile.read more
Studies have found that a diet high in fat, a common risk factor of obesity, can trigger widespread disruptions to the microbial environment, or microbiota, in test animals like mice and zebrafish. Others, meanwhile, have showed that this link works both ways: When scientists transplanted gut bacteria from a group of healthy mice into a group of mice engineered to have no bacteria whatsoever, the lean germ-free mice became fatter. This same effect was seen even when the gut bacteria from obese people was transplanted into these mice.read more

But in 2013, a brutal case of ulcerative colitis took him away from the game he loved.read more

The Broadway to Barbados Charitable Trust made yet another donation to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) yesterday.
It came in the form of a state-of-the-art Nihon Kohden monitor, valued around $40,000, which will be used in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Speaking at the presentation of the equipment, which was also attended by representatives of donors Scotiabank and Diamonds International, chairman and trustee of the Trust, Robert Bourque, said the organization had surpassed its goal of giving $2.5 million in equipment and donations. The figure now stands at $2.7 million, making the Broadway to Barbados Charitable Trust the largest single donor to the QEH.
The organization has worked alongside hospital management over the last five years to provide vital medical equipment aimed at improving patient care.
"We were able to contribute to the MICU [Medical Intensive Care Unit] and then to Accident and Emergency Department, and we hope to upgrade their capabilities so that all the way through the system everybody who needs critical has a better opportunity," Bourque said.
In accepting the donation, consultant in the Pediatrics Department Dr Clyde Cave said even though the number of children in the unit had declined due to the declining birthrate, the intensity of care had increased.
"The work we do requires support…more than the Government and the hospital are able to do. Intensive care is an expensive proposition and the monitor that we would have received today is the level of monitor that we would like to use in our most intensive care beds within the NICU," he said.
Bourque said Broadway to Barbados would remain committed to the QEH, revealing that the next contributions would be to the Pulmonary Department.
He said a multi-phased project was on the cards, with the first phase costing $150,000.

Weening sixth on queen stage of LangkawiSat 14 Mar 2015
2014 Giro d'Italia stage winner Pieter Weening has finished sixth in a select group finish on stage six, the queen stage, of the Tour de Langkawi.
Weening attacked a surviving group of 15 riders 500metres before the finish of the penultimate day of racing, but was countered by Youcef Reguigui (MTN-Qhubeka) for the victory on Fraser's Hill.
"Pieter felt really good today and was very disappointed in the finish that he didn't know the roads better," sport director Matt Wilson said.
"The roads were very twisty and windy and he thought that it was going to be like that all of the way to the finish and he attacked according to that.
"But he came out and there was a big block of road, he got mowed down and he is a bit frustrated by that, but it was a good ride none the less."
After hold the yellow jersey since his first victory on stage three, neo-pro sprinter Caleb Ewan relinquished it to Reguigui after loosing touch to the Tour's biggest climb.
"Caleb felt really bad today," Wilson said. "He woke up with a sore throat and a head cold and I think that took the edge off him on a pretty long hard day."
"He was just happy to get to the finish in the end. It's always a little disappointing to slip out of yellow but these things happen."
Today's 2015 Tour of Langkawi queen stage was re-routed following a storm in the week prior that cause damage to the roads the race would travel.
The difficult Genting Highlands were placed by Fraser's Hill – not quite the size of the original climb, but still a challenge and touted as D-day for general classification riders.
A break of four riders were allowed to make their move within the first 15km and for the first time we saw the general classification teams move to the front to control the peloton.
Tinkoff-Saxo and Skydive Dubai were the first to patrol, later joined by Team Sky. The deficit reached over seven minutes before they really responded to reel the quartet in.
As they moved towards Fraser's Hill, considered 29km long but with an 8km hard section, just one lone rider, Liam Bertazzo (Southeast) remained in front with a two-minute advantage.
Halfway up the climb Caleb Ewan drifted off the back with Andrea Guardini for company whilst Bertazzo was swept up as the front group, diminishing in numbers, pushed towards the finish.
With three kilometres to go, 15 riders remained with Team Sky with numbers on the front pushing the pace before the challenges came from the group in the last kilometre, Reguigui successful.

Christine Jaksy
Chicago, USA
Digital artist & Painter
Nature, spirituality, and vibrant color intuitively flow and grace freely from my essence and being to create abstract, organic, and realistic images. Creating and sharing art surrounds me in thanksgiving and gratitude, and it continually reminds me that Life is a Gift.
Christine Jaksy – A multi-faceted artist!
Christine blends elaborate colors and shapes into coherent pictures, virtual dreamscapes, and mesmerizing abstracts. But they are all enthralling displays of beauty, emanating from her heart. Her imagination seems endless as she manipulates common visions of nature into exciting and refreshing stimuli for the senses. Her leaves; her trees; her butterflies and birds; all seem to take on a life of their own through overlapping, almost three-dimensional visualizations. Christine dabbles in oils, acrylics, watercolors, abstracts, digital art, even graphic designs and web creations.
At what age did you know you wanted to be an artist?
I was about 5 or 6 years old when I realized I was an artist. I used to sit in the back area of our family-owned business and create: drawings, paintings, 3-D objects, clothing, jewelry, whatever came to mind!
What is the earliest artwork you did that you can remember?
I built a house for squirrels out of cardboard and painted it pretty bright colors. I was about 5 or 6 years old.
Which classical or contemporary artists have inspired you?
I have been inspired by artists, Sandro Botticelli, Salvador Dali, and Michelangelo, and photographers, Ansel Adams, Herb Ritts, and Patrick Demarchelier.
How would you describe your artistic style?
My artistic style consists of expressionism, representational, nature, spiritual, abstract, geometric/op-art, patterns, utilizing painting with acrylics, oils, water colors, digital, mixed media, and photography, and combinations of these.
When did you first sell an artwork? How did you feel?
My first sale was of an abstract oil painting. I felt happy that something I created made a married couple pleased and excited to decorate their home with my art. There was a sense of giving and sharing a part of my essence with them because I put my heart and soul into my artwork.
What's your workstyle? Do you work on one piece at a time or work simultaneously on multiple pieces?
In my workstyle I tend to focus on one painting at a time, but then tend to create a couple of works at a time with digital/computer art.
How do you get the inspiration for a new piece?
I feel like I am flooded with ideas for creating art. I get inspired to create art by something someone might say, by an experience in life, by nature, by love, by life's suffering, by acts of kindness, by images that catch my eye.
Tell us a bit about your personal life ...
Family and friendships are very important to me and highly valued in my life, as is my faith and spirituality. I love dogs and I advocate for animals. I am also an advocate for patient's rights, as I am also a professional hospice and hospital chaplain.
Nature, spirituality, and vibrant color intuitively flow and grace freely from my essence and being to create abstract, organic, and realistic images. Creating and sharing art surrounds me in thanksgiving and gratitude, and it continually reminds me that Life is a Gift.

Nobody teaches us how to see if our natural hair is damaged. Our parents just tell us that after so long we must go get it relaxed, washed or treated, so we stick to those schedules until we have a general idea as to how healthy hair should look like: thick, bouncy, blows in the wind and has a healthy sheen.
But what does damaged hair really look like? Your hair is damaged if it has a rough texture when you run your fingers through it, overly spongy meaning it is dry, rigid and dry, brittle hair that breaks easily, hair that has no elasticity, or hair that becomes spongy and matted when wet and hair that fades or absorbs too rapidly when being coloured or has colour.
We often hear our fellow friends or colleagues in supermarkets speaking about their hair of how much trouble they go through to get it to a certain shape or style. In fact most middle aged woman have something that maybe was once a dry perm but now it's some ashy looking hair style and of course they are unaware that their hair is damaged. Our mothers have naturally long African hair which is high maintenance, product after product to get it a certain shape and again product after product to get it to another style.
Pay close attention to the hairs you see: are they breaking from the roots or do you see broken off hairs all over the floor or sink? This means that your hair is damaged at various points on the strand.
The split end test is recommended after we trim or cut our hair shorter. If your hair is splitting soon after a cut or trim, then there is something really wrong, because healthy hair does not split easily it takes a month to eight weeks to split, furthermore there is no way to treat split ends than to cut them off.
And lastly if your hair is tangled, healthy hair is supple and moisturized, so it shouldn't be hairs to comb out after a wash or shower. Damaged African hair will clump and stick together making it hard to get through, even with the aids of leave-on conditioners and styling products. If your hair sticks and is hard to comb out this could mean it is damaged.
But all in all ladies let us take good care of our hair, researching methods to treat it that work for you and use products that you can afford monthly. With that being said ladies go out there and rock your hair. Remember "Your natural hair is not a trend. It's simple: YOU"

When we opened our doors back in 2012, Highball was a fairly male dominated environment, however, over the last few years this has changed for the better.
We like to think this is down to our regular ladies nights (which now run on the third Friday of every month) and also, the fantastic 'This Girl Can' Movement which has been really strong across the UK climbing scene.
Each month we offer various sessions suitable for complete beginners through to seasoned climbers. There are taster sessions, bouldering inductions, and open coaching sessions, all hosted by our top team of instructors and coaches. All sessions have super discounts, or are completely free after paying your normal entry fee. The minimum age is 12, so it's a great family event too.
All the sessions are group sessions and a great way of meeting like minded women and many go on to form great, long term, climbing friendships!
The biggest challenge we hear is 'but I've got no upper body strength!'. but strength is only one element of climbing. There's also balance, movement and flexibility. Females tend to be better in these areas than your male counterparts….. and, of course, you listen, which makes you easier to coach(but don't tell the boys that!)
If you truly feel a bit weak in the arms, then we'd say give it a go After a few weeks of dancing across our walls, that'll soon change!
If you have any questions, give us a call or drop us an email or facebook message and we'll get back to you ASAP.
60 Mins |
£20 £5
It's for people new to the sport of indoor bouldering (climbing without ropes and harnesses), or for traditional climbers who have not used indoor bouldering facilities. No experience necessary. Age 18+
Bouldering is climbing at a low level (up to 4.5 meters) without using ropes or harnesses for safety. The Ladies Night Bouldering Induction is a one off 60 minute group session (1:1's are available to book separately) which teaches you all you need to know to climb safely on indoor bouldering walls.
We will cover all the basic aspects of indoor bouldering including health and safety, climbing wall etiquette and key techniques, to help get you off on the right foot – or left – and you'll even learn some of the lingo.
After this session you should feel confident to register as a climber (bouldering only), which will allow you to climb unsupervised and also supervise up to 2 guests. Note: This induction does not cover indoor climbing walls (using ropes and harnesses).
60 Mins |
£10 £5
The climbing wall taster session is lead by one of our qualified instructors in a group of 6 maximum. Minimum Age – 18yrs
During the 60 minute taster, you'll get to experience indoor climbing using harnesses and ropes for safety. You'll work together in groups of 2 or 3, under supervision, to get in as much climbing as you can. You'll also have a go at climbing on the 'auto belays', devices which automatically lower you down to the ground.
This taster is unique to ladies nights, and great value at just £5pp
60 Mins | FREE
Our Coaching Sessions are solely run for ladies all evening during dedicated Ladies Night. They are great for any age or ability we just ask that you are a competent boulderer and do not need supervision.
The coaches that run your session will ask what you would like to get from it and base the session on the general consensus of the group. They are a great way to learn new skills, meet other ladies and have fun at the same time, often we see the same faces each month which is great.
Did we mention that they are also free? No need to pay for the coaching but you will have to pay normal entry to the centre. You can book online and often we have spaces on the night so you can ask at reception.
120 Mins | FREE
These evenings will be a chilled out climbing session to meet new friends and potentially life long climbing partners! These nights will run weekly on Fridays and are free to attend, however you will need to be signed off as an independent boulderer or have a supervising climber with you as this isn't a instructor led session. All you'd need to do is book at reception or online and pay the normal entry fee on the evening! A cup of tea shall be on the cards too!

Our love story just started but it was probably the best thing I've decided to start in a long time.
I never thought I'll be that person who wakes up thinking of another human being. And here I am waking up thinking of you.
I never thought I'll be counting the minutes to see you and kiss your pretty face. And I still do it every day.
I am SO that person who wants to spend every single second of the day with that one person that holds my heart in the palms of his hands.
I give you weird nicknames and you just laugh and look at me like I'm crazy for calling you that but you never say it's weird even though you know it is.
But baby you're just as crazy as I am. And that's why it works. Me crazy in love with you and you crazy in love with me.

By Neil M. Maher
The nice melancholy coincided with a wave of common failures, together with the dirt Bowl and devastating floods of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. improving from those calamities--and combating their reoccurrence--was an important objective of the hot Deal.
In Nature's New Deal, Neil M. Maher examines the heritage of 1 of Franklin D. Roosevelt's boldest and such a lot winning experiments, the Civilian Conservation Corps, describing it as a turning aspect either in nationwide politics and within the emergence of contemporary environmentalism. certainly, Roosevelt addressed either the industrial and environmental crises by way of placing americans to paintings at preserving average assets, in the course of the Soil Conservation carrier, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Civilian Conservation Corps (or CCC). The CCC created public landscapes--natural terrain altered via federal paintings projects--that helped environmentalism blossom after international warfare II, Maher notes. hundreds of thousands of american citizens committed themselves to a brand new imaginative and prescient of conservation, person who went past the outdated version of easily maximizing the effective use of normal assets, to incorporate the advertising of human wellbeing and fitness via outdoors sport, desert upkeep, and ecological stability. And but, as Maher explores the increase and improvement of the CCC, he additionally indicates how the critique of its campgrounds, picnic components, mountaineering trails, and motor roads frames the talk over environmentalism to this day.
From the colourful existence at CCC camps, to political discussions within the White condominium and the philosophical debates relationship again to John Muir and Frederick legislations Olmsted, Nature's New Deal captures a key second within the emergence of recent environmentalism.

Dear Ernest,
What is Mrs. Claus' first name?
Thanks, Bill
Hi Bill,
I'll tell you, Bill I haven't the foggiest idea.
You see, Mr. and Mrs. Claus are very private people, despite their very public roles. I am in the delicate position of knowing many things and I have been charged with being a spokesperson for the North Pole. It's a great responsibility. And some things, being private, I just won't share.
But on this particular question I have to be honest and say that I just don't know.
There has been some speculation about her first name. Television programs and movies have called her everything from Jessica to Josephine to Aunt Edna to Victoria. But none of those are actually correct.
I have always addressed her as Mrs. Claus. There isn't a written rule about it here at the North Pole, but nobody here would DARE address her as anything else. Even Santa calls her Mrs. Claus. (Although -- every now and then, he'll call her "honey" too.)
I think this is because Santa shows such care and respect for Mrs. Claus. He demands that we are polite around her and he gets very upset when she has to intervene in arguments between the elves. Mrs. Claus is very dignified and warm. She is well mannered and polite. Santa always opens doors for her, seats her at the table and makes certain she dresses warmly when going outside. Because Santa treats her like a queen, the rest of us do too.

Mrs. Claus' full name is Jessica Mary Claus. Her mother picked her middle name after the mother of Jesus.

JOYCE Storey opened an old scrapbook full of letters, photos, diaries and mementoes.
She took out a square of fabric with the numbers six and 157 embroidered in blue. Underneath is the name Kerry Miss J and, in the corner, it bears a Japanese stamp.
Joyce looked at it wistfully and then told me: "That was my badge, my number."
Now 80 and living in Hollywood, Birmingham, Joyce's scrapbook takes her back over the decades to when she was 12-years-old and interned in a Japanese concentration camp in China.
For more than two years Joyce Kerry, Storey is her married name, was number 157 in block six in Weishien camp.
At the time Joyce was a boarding pupil at the Chefoo School in North Eastern China and, when the Japanese army overtook huge swathes of the country and joined the Second World War, they interned the Westerners already living there in camps. Immortalised in films such as Empire of the Sun and television series such as Tenko, more than 20,000 British people were imprisoned in these camps – among them 3,000 children.
There they suffered from hunger, cold and disease. Many were hundreds or even thousands of miles away from their parents, and totally dependent on their friends and the adults around them.
But Joyce said in many ways the hardest part was simply not having the freedom to be children.
"It was just not being able to go outside the walls and play or go for a walk," she said. "You longed to do that but you couldn't."
Joyce spent nearly three years in Japanese camps from the age of 12 to 15. When the invaders forced her to leave her school in 1942 she had no idea what lay ahead. "Our school had huge grounds in its own compound with a girls' school, a boys' school, a prep and a san where you went for recuperation," she recalled.
"They took us out of there and to Temple Hill on the other side of the city. It was a long walk and they put us in a compound there. This was November 1942."
In the summer of 1943 the pupils were moved again, taking a two- day journey by steamer and train, this time to a more permanent construction – Weihsien camp in what is now Shandung province, Northern China.
Joyce was to spend the next two years of her life there.
"There were more than 1,500 people there, all civilians, and it was more like a village than the previous camp," she recalled. "The Japanese had a policy of letting the internees organise themselves so it was very disciplined. Jobs were apportioned out so there were people responsible for cooking or other tasks.
"The Japanese were not fighting in that area but it was a bit like that film, Empire of the Sun, because you would see the planes going over."
Joyce's teachers soon established order and began lessons again. Also a pupil at Chefoo was Joyce's brother Brian, who was two years younger, and although the boys' and girls' schools were kept separate, the siblings made sure they maintained close contact.
"In the camp we were known as 'best brother and sister' because we had such a good relationship."
But daily life was hard. "One of the problems was clothes," recalled Joyce. "We were all growing and although clothes could be passed down they would only last so long. We made clothes out of tablecloths and out of curtains.
"And when I couldn't wear my shoes any more I went around barefoot. That was all right in the summer but the winter was cold. I remember just walking through puddles and thinking how cold my feet were. This was Northern China and it could get very cold in winter and we had barely any heat."
Rations were also a problem.
"We used to eat all kinds of porridge. We had millet porridge and I quite liked that, but they also made porridge out of gaoliang, a kind of grain they have there, and that was awful. For lunch the cooks would just use whatever they had and make a stew. But there were things we really had to go without such as eggs and milk."
The adults were concerned that the children were lacking in calcium so took to saving any egg shells which could be ground up and served to the youngsters in a drink.
"That was horrible, it was just gritty. You would try coughing on it to blow it away," says Joyce. "But it must have worked. I think I was lucky because I didn't have an enormous appetite so I could manage.
"When we were in the first camp a lot of people got mumps. I had always wanted to be a nurse and that was my first experience of nursing, running around looking after them all.
"I had hepatitis in Weihsien so they took me off and made sure I had a proper diet too so that I was well again."
Although many of the children had been boarding students and were used to living away from home, the lack of regular contact with their families was hard.
Joyce's parents, Arthur and Margaret, avoided internment because they were working as missionaries in Szechwan province in Western China, a part of the country which was not occupied. They were only able to maintain sporadic contact with Brian and Joyce through letters and ultimately had to return to the UK to await the release of their children.
"Letters did not get through very often," says Joyce. "Brian and I had an eight-month gap when we didn't hear from our parents. And one letter from them took a year to come through. They had actually gone back to Britain and we didn't even know."
LIBERATION for Joyce came after the Japanese surrender in August 1945 and the camps began to be dismantled.
Joyce kept a diary of those times and she recalled the first landing of American troops.
"An aeroplane came over the camp, it circled round and round to see if it would be shot at but because nothing happened some parachutes dropped."
However, it was to be December before Joyce and Brian would be reunited with their family, including little sister Trish, now 70, and baby brother Mike, now 68, in Rayleigh in Sussex.
The Chefoo pupils were initially taken by train to the seaport of Tsingtao before sailing to Hong Kong. From there they embarked on the SS Arawa back to England.
"We got back just before Christmas," said Joyce. "And then in January we started at our new schools in Southend-on-Sea."
Joyce initially found it difficult to adapt to being back in the UK.
And those years in Weihsien stayed locked up inside her. "In those days you didn't talk about things," she said. "You just contained the situation and conformed. You put it away."
Even with her beloved brother, now 78, the events of the 1940s were never mentioned.
"We didn't talk about it when we were growing up – which is something I regret now." Joyce trained to be a nurse, progressing to midwifery and then becoming a health visitor. In 1964 she moved to Birmingham, initially living in Small Heath where her father, the Rev Arthur Sidney Kerry, was minister at Bordesley Green Baptist Church.
She married Arthur, now 86, who worked for British Leyland and as a woodwork instructor with Birmingham City Mission, before both retired.
Throughout this time Joyce tended to keep quiet about her childhood in the camps. But in the 1990s she was contacted by the Association for British Civilian Internees in the Far East Region (ABCIFER), which was campaigning for the former camp inmates. "I was a member of the Chefoo School Association so they found my details through that. They were looking for compensation for the internees.
"When I received the information from ABCIFER I just broke down. I sat here and bawled. It just opened the floodgates."
ABCIFER has created a book, British Civilians Interned by the Japanese in World War Two, which is kept at St Michael's Church, in Cornhill, London. Within those pages are the names of both Brian and Joyce Kerry.
And a commemoration service at the church in 2009 gave Joyce the chance to meet other people who had lived through the ordeal.
"It was just a very small part of my life in a war that I hadn't talked about," she says. "But I think it affected me for a long time."
Joyce was recently interviewed for a new book, Stolen Childhoods, by Nicola Tyrer, which tells the stories of the children interned by the Japanese during the war.

To increase diversity within its ranks, the High Court has introduced a new programme targeting people of non-traditional backgrounds. What are the challenges of this type of affirmative action, and how can you develop your own strategy to stamp out inequality?

Recent reports show that while the market for permanent IT jobs is thriving, recruiters are still struggling to find the right candidates for temporary and entry-level jobs.
As a recruiter, you already know that video interviewing can make the hiring process more effective and efficient. Here's how you get the green light from the board.
Following the launch of Google's new mobile search algorithm, companies are changing their mobile strategies to be as far-reaching and easy-to-use as possible.

Despite years of progress across the professional world in the name of gender equality, there's still a chronic shortage of women filling tech-centric roles. The onus is now on recruiters to increase female hires in the field.
The UK job market is looking bigger and brighter than ever. This year's general election, however, has introduced a great deal of uncertainty, not to mention important issues for politicians to address regarding the nation's tech sector.

Tawny Scrawny Lion: Book & CD
Kathryn Jackson & Gustaf Tenggren
Golden Books, 2006 (2006)
Read an Excerpt
Reviewed by J. A. Kaszuba Locke
he Little Golden Books® reprint of the classic
Tawny Scrawny Lion
was written by Kathryn Jackson, with pictures by Gustaf Tenggren. They are a match for this story of '
a hungry lion, who never could get enough to eat.
he thin lion '
chased monkeys on Monday - kangaroos on Tuesday - zebras on Wednesday - bears on Thursday - camels on Friday - and on Saturday, elephants!
' Given all the prey the lion took, he '
should have been as fat as butter.
' However, the more he ate, the thinner and hungrier he became!
he animals had a meeting and appointed the little rabbit to talk with the lion. Rabbit looked at the lion and told him how very thin he looked. He invited him home to have dinner with all his brothers and sisters. The lion waited while rabbit filled his basket with fish, berries, mushrooms, and herbs to add to a pot of stew.
ll the big animals found it a mystery when their weekdays passed without being chased by the lion. They dressed in their finery, and visited the rabbits' home to find out what they talked to the lion about. Can you guess? The answer is in this storybook for preschoolers. Read it along with a special CD of music and sounds that come in a soft plastic cover. Happy reading and enjoy the carrot stew!
