There's a song about wearing flowers in your hair…. It's about hippies and San Francisco. Yet a world away and five decades later, a halo of daisies and roses is the must wear item on all the young things wandering around cosmopolitan Istanbul. Turkish women in long skirts and headscarves with beads and coins dangling from them hold up rings upon rings of silk flower halos and they are being snapped up by the cashed up gap-yearers, the inbetween-jobees and the vacationing 20somethings. I find myself humming the song incessantly as M and I dash from must see to must see as every site has a woman peddling the colourful halos.
Actually it's a bit hard to dash from one place to another in Istanbul, we finding a lot of our time is standing in long ques or trying awfully hard to get out of the way of the maddening crowds. I have never in my life seen so many people concentrated in one space. It's mind boggling and for the first time ever in all my travels I've suddenly developed Culture Shock. When I was researching our trip to Turkey, numerous 'experts' on TA (my favourite travel website) advised to do Istanbul last; enabling one to ease oneself into Turkey. I've decide to ignore all the advice and dive head on into Istanbul and give her six days straight. She's given me a smack of reality back.
The first call to prayer of the day wakes me. The Sultan Ahmet Mosque is just up from us and I can see through the window the dawn is just breaking. Mal is still asleep, so I pull on jeans and cardie and pop up to the roof terrace to watch the sunrise over the Mosque. Its stunning. Its also freezing. Five minutes of dancing around to keep warm whilst the days first rays hit the golden spires is enough and I'm back in the room and under the covers as fast as I can.
Around nine am and after an amazing Turkish breakfast…. Mal and I are to find that Turkish breakfasts are the absolute BEST!... we head out for the day with the plan to go to the Aya Sofya, Blue Mosque, a couple of museums and have a good look around. WRONG!
As we wandered along our lovely quiet little streets and up through Tavukhane Street (which Mal and I dub "find a conscious" street due to it's activist slogans we turn into the Hippodrome and nearly fall over.
approaching from the northern end of the Hippodrome where the tour busses have off loaded their passengers. We give the mosque a miss and head towards the Aya Sofya then take a massive sharp left turn when we see the huge lines awaiting to get into this great dome. I spy the tourist information office and go in whilst Mal goes in search of a bus/train pass. The info centre has only one map on offer and nothing else so I wait for M under the trees. A chap approaches me and asks the normal questions, 'where you from, what is your name, do you like Istanbul', we chat, turns out he has a cousin in Australia. When Mal returns and says he can't find where to buy the card from, the chap becomes very helpful and takes us across the road to a news stand, buys the card for us, explains how to use it, top it up and how to get a refund, then asks us to come and see his cousin's shop. We don't want to, but we also don't want to be rude after all his help, so we follow him down a labyrinth of lanes, down an corridor and into a carpet shop where within seconds of stepping through the door we're offered apple tea and a cushion to sit on. We know what's coming next but we don't want to offend so we sip the tea and listen to the carpet speal. He unravels about ten carpets and kilims and tells us how they are made. The carpets are beautiful and secretly I think it would be nice to buy one, but I haven't a clue what I'm looking at or what sort of price. We also don't need a carpet. We try to extricate ourselves as politely as possible from the shop but he becomes a little aggressive and won't let us out the now closed door and instead insists we look at the jewellery. He tells us we are his first customers of the day and if we buy it'll be good luck. I feel dreadful, he's been ever so helpful but we politely and firmly say no, thank him for the tea and help, and push past out the door.
We haven't a clue where we are so we wander up and down delightful back lanes, oohing and arhing at the gorgeous buildings and sweet decorative features like gourd lanterns that hang lavishly along one lane, and iridescent blue 'evil eye' charms hanging off everything from trees and houses to pot plants. Down one street we discover all it houses is book shops and I'm in heaven looking into the windows at the piles and piles of books and maps.
We turn the corner and find we are back close to Sultanahmet square and come across the Basilica Cistern and again the line up disappears around two corners. I'm determine to see at least one site today, and so we line up for over an hour to get in. I wonder aloud to M if we could have gotten in quicker if we learnt how to que-jump without conscious as we watch numerous tourists 'slip' into the lines further up then under the rope barriers getting themselves a bit further up. This we'll notice is a common thing. Another thing we notice is that no-one 'tut-tuts' them and they 'get away' with their rudeness. There are also the other type of 'que-jumpers' those who agree to pay double the ticket price to go on a 'tour' and go to the head of the que. We are offered this a number of times but decline, thinking it impolite to the others who've waited in line for so long.
Eventually we arrive at the entrance, pay our 10lira ticket price and head down into the underground cavern. The Cistern is enormous. Dark with a pale red glow, it seems to go forever; the enormous pillars (336 columns in total) extend into the eerie darkness. I find the cavern even more chilling when I think that beside being a water storage tank at one time, it was also used for dead bodies. We walk on a raised platform (along with hundreds and hundreds of others) below us sits water and we can make out fish…. rather large fish…. swimming around. Not all the Pillars are the same, some have bulbous bases, others, finely carved Corinthian leaves at their tops. It's hard to get a good look as it's so crowded and we are funnelled towards the 'treasures' of the cistern, the two Medusa heads.
possible in the Cistern to take in its uniqueness, but the noise of the crowd reverberates unceasingly.
Back out in the sunshine we take another look at the Aya Sofya's lines and decide to walk over the Galata Bridge, which is a hive of activity with not only transport and pedestrians, but fisherman casting lines off the bridge into the Golden Horn. We are amazed that the lines don't get tangled and caught as below, the Golden Horn is teaming with watercraft – copious ferries, small fishing craft, luxury boats and so forth. Under the bridge is another level filled with restaurants and cafes and also teaming with people, it's a wonder no-one receives a hook to the head or a sinker to the temple.
with the most gorgeous buildings decked out with ornate facia and balconies. Unfortunately they are heavily scribbled across with graffiti and not the street art kind.
At the top of the street we turned left and found ourselves at Gatela Tower, a Genoese tower built back in 1348 and can be seen from all directions in Istanbul. We could see this wonderful piece of architecture in Sultanahmet and in later travels around Istanbul it became our compass point. We didn't attempt to go up the tower as the line of people circled round the tower and into the square.
Due to our confinement we didn't get to see much of the rest of Istiklal C and upon reaching Taksim we disgorged from the tram with a pop, being pushed out by everyone who was also being shoved out. Taskim Square was huge. A paved area surrounded by posh hotels and cafes with flower sellers set up in front, there was a monument to the founding of the republic and a garden that was being quite trampled by delighted toddlers. We saw a park and headed over, looking for some breathing space and somewhere to sit. Mal went off to find the bathroom and came back declaring he'd seen the Metro and there was no way we would be attempting it as it looked like chaos. As it was now late afternoon we decided to head back, but not before we went through the trauma of running out of ticket money on the transit card with one of us on and the other having to go find a ticket. As the tram was filling up fast, I became worried that it would leave before Mal could recharge and so I jumped off only to have him jump on, click and then realising I was off stop the driver from moving so I could get on. I had to pay a second time before being let back on. By this stage I was over it all and just wanted to get back to our room. The day had been an eye-opener in how big this world really was and how insignificant I was. Not that I thought any different but these crowds had shown me the true reality. As the tram slowly made it's way down Istiklal C. we watched as a bus of riot police turned up on the boulevard and then the water cannon – it's enormous. Further along we saw some press cameras. We have no idea what was going on or if anything happen later.
At the other end of Istiklal C we saw a sign for the Funicular and found that it went to the very bottom of the hill, within a minute. Cocooned in a beautiful old tunnel the Funicular is celebrating it's 139years of operation. Later that evening as I sat on the rooftop terrace staring at the beautiful Sultanahmet Mosque shining brightly with the silverly silhouetted albatrosses circling its dome, I thought of how vibrant and eclectic this city was and because of all the amazing gems she holds, she is a magnet, enticing humanity to her centre and I though I'm just one in the thirty million who visits her shores each year, I just know as I travel this amazing country I'm "gonna meet some gentle people there'.

Markets lately have resembled a dolphin at sea, leaping and diving in spectacular fashion. Observers often don't know where to look for the dolphin next. In recent weeks, the same can be said of markets, leaping up at night before crashing down the next morning.
So how should you play these non-directional markets? In my opinion, you shouldn't. Leave that to short-term traders and computer algorithms. But if your intent as an investor is to seek solid returns over the long term in order to pay future college expenses or fund a comfortable retirement, you need to ask yourself the following questions:
- Do headlines from Washington or Wall Street really matter? The answer, after years of sifting through empirical data is no. Headlines matter to voters, but rarely to investors. And in my view, they aren't correlated with returns.
- Then what is correlated with long-term returns? In my experience it's free cash flow generation and free cash flow yield.
- What drives free cash flow? To my way of thinking, free cash flow is driven by economic growth, margins, proper stewardship of capital and sound management.
- What other valuation metrics bear watching? The price-to-free cash flow ratio matters a lot, but in my view, so do the price-to-book ratio and the cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratio (CAPE), which are both quite rich too.1
Some perspective
Today's headlines are awash with talk of trade wars and tariffs. Yes, tariffs matter, but only to certain companies and industries and to farmers of particular crops. From an economic standpoint, they don't impact the market as a whole and aren't of such a magnitude that they'll end the economic cycle. The recently passed tax cuts alone dwarf all the tariffs being discussed, making the latest trade-related moves out of Washington look small by comparison.
As far as free cash flow generation is concerned, it's off its record high per dollar put into the market, but is it going higher? Maybe. But my work shows me that future free cash flow generation is under pressure from rising labor outlays, higher borrowing costs and increasing general and administrative expenses. Free cash flow yield looks less promising at this point than it did during the spectacular rise we witnessed earlier in this long business cycle.
While the economy continues to grow and assets are still being used productively, there are signs that global economic growth may have begun to slow. In my view, economic growth is necessary, but not sufficient, for improved profits and cash flow. In order to continue to grow, cash flow companies need a decline in the cost of capital, steady-to-falling wages or a sizable rise in productivity.
So despite the recent market pullback, the price of entry into the market is still historically high, in my opinion. Consequently, in balancing risk and reward, it doesn't make sense to be fully invested until risk asset price levels recede further.
So rather than chasing the dolphin — or the headlines — follow the cash flow while remaining cautious. If you are looking for a place to ride out these choppy market waters while awaiting more compelling equity valuations, the short end of the US investment-grade corporate bond market looks to be a less risky part of the market. Short-term high grade corporates have become relatively more attractive lately due to a number of technical factors, chief among them a one-time shift out of short-maturity corporate bonds as companies bring home cash held outside of the United States as a result of the recent tax act.
1 Price/book ratio (P/B) is the ratio of a stock's price to its book value per share. The cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratio, commonly known as CAPE, is a valuation measure usually applied to the US S&P 500 equity market. It is defined as price divided by the average of ten years of earnings (moving average), adjusted for inflation.

Know what's even cooler than sculpting for modeling reference? Sculpting something then digitally scanning it. Then you have a high detail base mesh to work from, and once you have built a sweet model with proper topology overtop, you can use the scan to make a normal map!! WOW! Normally scanning is out of range for most people, but I do it cheap for non corporate users when I have free time
Getting started with sculpting
I wish I'd found this thread before I started my recent attempt at sculpture (I used to do sculpture fairly regularly years back, but kind of gave up when I discovered it was much easier to 'sculpt' on computer when living in 1 tiny room).
Here's my attempts anyway, they could be seen as a 'how (not) to guide' for complete begginers.
not sure if i understand what you guys are saying? sorry im new to 3d modelling etc…
but are you saying you can take a clay model and somehow convert it into a digital 3D model? if so WOW!!! :bounce:
Hi djdna,
I've never used one, and they're certainly not cheap, but yeah, you can get a 3D scanner (several different types infact I believe) which will turn a real sculpt into a 3D Mesh for you to then work with digitally.
Likewise you can get 3D printers so you can turn a 3D mesh into a 'real' model, but again these aren't cheap.
wow thats great what about hiring one?? is that possible aswell, ie: pay a smaller fee to scan something you have made in, then take the digital model home on a DVD-r or something??
because obviously i dont really want to spend £1000s on a machine for doing that if i can help it hehe
I know there are a few sites where you can send meshes off to have them turned into models, so there are probably a few places where you can do the opposite too, I'm afraid I've never looked into it, if you do find some places though, post them here, it would be cool to know where did it if I ever needed to.
ive found a few sites that offer quotes on 3D scans etc, however they look expensive and require details before giving any pricing info… so i wont be lookign further into it for now…
this is all ive found in terms of 3D scanner rental tho…
milk and Lego 3d scanner!
haha!! wow thats very very cool indeed, basic but very clever i like!!
thanks :applause:
$300 for two weeks - not bad.
says $400 for 2 weeks here, but thats a good price imo!!
if i was to organised a load of models and scan them all in 2 weeks it would be well worth it
i think i need to improve my modelling skills first tho, for editing/polishing's sake tho as i still dont know if i will be able to get my head round things more complexed than zbrush (ie: maya & 3dsmax etc) though i seriously hope i will
Thanks for the resources everyone!
Check out this site for 3d scanning. They do a great job and are reasonable in cost. (I've worked with them before.) They also just got a super high rez 3d printer! Super cool.
I also highly recommend super sculpey for conceptual sculpting seeing how it is uber forgiving, maleable, bakes well, and even looks cool.
If your looking for something more of in the way of just a quick sculpt that you dont care about too much then oil based clay is the way to go, so a roma plastalina.
buy coil wire both thick and thin, so you can have proportional joints/limbs and have the thin wire to help tie the big pieces together, and always have aluminum foil to fatten up the mass areas.
not sure if this has been posted, but check all of the tutorials from Peter Konig on conceptart.org, he's the man to copy with sculpey
Thanks for the resources everyone :applause:
Hey, is there a way to extract all my faces into separate objects? Or do I have to go in, one face at a time and extract them, one by one? Im using Maya 2009 btw.
Thanks guys.
Wrong forum topic, this topic is for analog sculpting, like clay, sculpey, etc. Try the Maya forum for Maya-specific questions, you're more likely to get a useful answer there.
OH! lol wooops! haha sorry bout that…how do i extract faces on my clay sculptures??? jk. I actually figured it out, thanks so much.
I highly recommend you go here: John Brown is the leading sculptor for dvd's on sculpture.
and here: for garage kits and sculptors all kinds of advie on materails etc.
that's how I learned how to sculpt my maquettes.
Gnomon has a new dvd showing how the Shifflet Brothers do their work as well. They work in Scuply Firm
www.paperpilot.com If you wish to see my sculpts. No spam intended
what's up go to pixologic and view their Zbrush learn videos section, and sculpt like the real thing, I guess you have to buy a DVD tutorial or join digitaltutors dot com.

This catalogue presents programs designed primarily for small growers, horticulturalists, gardeners and organic farmers.
It does not mean that MINERAL is not suitable for farmers in intensive production. But, intensive production is already regulated with some technological programs of cultivation and the use of MINERAL must be suitably incorporated into them. For such production adequate programs for MINERAL use are prepared individually and are therefore not described in this catalogue.
Programs presented here are meant for a vast variety of plants cultivated in Europe. Similar plants are grouped in one program as they do have very similar development. If some specific questions arise, contact your local distributor or the producer.
Programs described here are only for common guidance. Keep in mind that basis for the successful farming, no matter big or small, is good practice. That means to choose the right plants for the right place, planting in the appropriate soil, proper fertilization without exaggeration, reviewing plants regularly to find out diseases or pests, crop rotation, etc.
MINERAL is a great help to plants to be more healthy and sturdy in their development, but is only a part of your daily care of plants. With the correct use MINERAL will contribute greatly to your efforts to get successful crop.
If you are in doubt how to use MINERAL, contact us. We will be happy to help you.

If you have URL rewriting enabled on your community (if you're not sure, look at the URL to a topic or other page on your community: if it contains index.php?/ you do not have URL rewriting enabled), you will send your requests to:
For example, to access the GET /core/hello endpoint, you will send a HTTP GET request to http://www.example.com/api/core/hello.
If you do not have URL rewriting enabled, you will send you requests to:
For example, to access the GET /core/hello endpoint, you will send a HTTP GET request to http://www.example.com/api/index.php?/core/hello.
If you do not have URL rewriting enabled, the URL already has a ? in it. Therefore, to send additional parameters, you will append a & rather than a ?. For example http://www.example.com/api/index.php?/core/hello&foo=bar
If supported by your server, the recommend method for authorization is via HTTP Basic Auth. Send the API key you created earlier as the username, and no password.
If your server does not support this because PHP is running as a CGI binary, you will see a message in the AdminCP to indicate this. To authenticate, you should send an additional "key" parameter (in the query string for a GET request or along with the other parameters for a POST or PUT request) with the API key you created earlier. For example:
For GET requests, provide all parameters in the query string. For POST and PUT requests, all parameters should be sent Form URL-Encoded.
The Response is always JSON-encoded.
Example Code
Here is an example request to the /core/hello endpoint:
<?php $communityUrl = 'http://localhost:8888/ips4/'; $apiKey = 'c7a349a1629f02cd2855a58d77646f6d'; $curl = curl_init( $communityUrl . 'api/core/hello' ); curl_setopt_array( $curl, array( CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH => CURLAUTH_BASIC, CURLOPT_USERPWD => "{$apiKey}:" ) ); $response = curl_exec( $curl ); echo $response;
If all goes successfully, this script will output:
"communityName": "IPS Community Suite",
"communityUrl": "http:\/\/localhost:8888\/ips4\/",
"ipsVersion": "4.1.6"

Virtualization keeps Legacy Apps alive
Companies using Visual Studio 2008 to develop new code may need to keep older applications operational. Virtualizing both client and server components via Windowless Terminal Services, in conjunction with Windows Server 2008, allows the apps to be accessed from desktops.
Companies that have built Visual Basic 6.0 applications may already be using Visual Studio 2008 to develop new code. But what about older applications that need to remain operational, even when development organizations move on to new operating systems and development platforms?
Microsoft offers its take on this situation and presents some interesting solutions in an article entitled "Using Virtualization to Preserve A Visual Basic Client-Server Application" in the Visual Studio 2008 Developer Center Web pages. The approach depends on virtualization of both client and server components, and uses Windowless Terminal Services with Windows Server 2008 to provide virtual runtime environments that clients running Windows XP or Vista can access easily from their desktops.
Virtualization on the server side lets Windows NT 4.0 servers run virtually so that outdated third-party software components can continue to run unaltered in the environment for which they were built. Virtualization on the client side lets users run legacy applications that are incompatible with their current desktop operating systems (especially Vista). The client portion can run on a Windows Server 2008 that runs a virtualized Windows XP or Windows 2000 environment, where Windowless Terminal Server lets users work with the legacy application as if it were running standalone on their desktops.
To support the client side, a Windows Server host operating system can support virtual machines running Windows 98, 2000, or XP using Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 (this software runs on Windows 2000, Windows 2003 Server and Windows Server 2008 host operating systems). It's also possible to use Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 to operate older desktop versions of Windows within virtual machines on XP or Vista (though the more limited processing power and memory resources on desktop machines means this may not work as quickly as it would on a server).
Keeping legacy code alive proves easier if the legacy runtime environment is virtualized. Then it can be encapsulated in a virtual machine runtime environment on either a desktop or a server PC that runs a newer host OS on newer, more capable hardware. Terminal Server helps legacy clients to make the connection with legacy servers, keeping the code accessible and active for the foreseeable future.

The Boston Cares TeamWorks Program is focused on facilitating the shift from casual volunteering to intentional citizenship. Each TeamWorks session consists of a series of three to five projects, where individual volunteers select a team to learn about specific issues, organizations and/or communities encountered through volunteerism.
TeamWorks provides specialized volunteering opportunities around a theme or impact area and with some of our most popular non-profit partner sites. As a TeamWorks volunteer, you will join a team of 6-10 other individual volunteers and serve together over 6-8 weeks. This gives you an opportunity to build your volunteer community and delve deeper into your projects.
TeamWorks runs five times a year: Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Holiday. All teams will participate in service learning to better understand the impact our partner organizations make with the help of volunteers.
Please be mindful when committing to a team that these organizations depend on a specific volunteer group size in order to provide their services. Attendance at all projects, including the kickoff, is expected.
Below are the teams for TeamWorks Spring 2017.
Teams will be available for sign up starting at 9am Tuesday, March 14th.

Santiago Oaks Regional Park in Orange feels very accessible to those who might be hesitant to explore the greater wilds of Orange County with kids. I would feel comfortable taking a toddler here, because the hikes are short and the pay-offs are big. [NOTE: There are quite a few trail closures due to the October 2017 Canyon Fire 2 which heavily impacted this park. So make sure you consult the official OCParks.com for the most up-to-date maps and information. All the photos in this post are pre-wildfire and I hear the burn devastation to the trees is quite saddening.]
Directions to Santiago Oaks Regional Park in Orange: Drive up Jamboree like you are heading to Irvine Regional Park, but turn LEFT onto Santiago Canyon Road (this turn is the last turn you can make before heading into Irvine Regional Park). Don't make the mistake of turning right on Santiago Canyon because that will take you away from Santiago Oaks. Follow Santiago Canyon Road and turn right on Windes which quickly turns into a T-intersection. Turn right and follow the road into the parking area. There is a fee for this park because it is a OCParks.com regional park. [Address: 2145 N. Windes, Orange] MAP TO SANTIAGO OAKS REGIONAL PARK
- We went in the early morning hours and the light through the oaks was just gorgeous!!
- So much history packed into this relatively small area! We saw lots of historical evidence along the trail.
- We saw tons of birds on our morning trip. I'd love to bring my binoculars next time.
- You can make this a quick trip for a picnic under the oaks, take a little longer stroll to see the dam, or choose a number of other trails which loop around the area to make the day as long or short as you want.
- Any hike where I can be near water is fun – and this one does not disappoint. We started at the restrooms, walked the trail down the hill, and turned right onto the Historic Dam Trail which looped back on the Santiago Creek Trail. You can get a nice PDF of the map on the official OCParks.com website.
- The trail map lists 11 "easy" trails, 9 "moderate" trails, and 8 "difficult" trails.
- Nature Center is open when there are volunteers there to staff it.
- Picnic area is shaded with oaks (not sure if this is quite the same after the fire)
- Restrooms are right next to the picnic area.
- Small playground with recycled rubber play surface (not sure if this is quite the same after the fire)
Be Aware:
- This is a bit wilder than your neighborhood park – so bring water, sunscreen, snacks, and keep your eyes out for rattlesnakes, poison oak, mountain lions, etc.
- Be courteous to the equestrians and drive slowly.
- No swimming or wading in the water — although it doesn't look too enticing for a swim. It's beautiful to hear the water trickling off the dam, though.

I have a mini clubman cooper s with jcw kit. And since day one it's a car that keeps taking...for instance vanos valve replaced,new cam cover l,clutch and flywheel. Now timing chain requires some attention so to speak. If I was to include all serviceable parts. Discs pads oil brake fluid, coils. In the 3 yrs I have owned it my pocket has had a beating. But even now I cannot walk away from the car and say enough is enough. Other than a total write off from the insurance will. In total I'm almost shelled out the purchase price of the car on keeping the thing running.
What would it take you the average mini owner to walk away

Iraq Delegation Courts American Business
Iraq Delegation Courts American Business
As Iraq becomes more stable, the country is drawing interest from international investors. Linda Wertheimer talks with Dr. Sami al-Araji, chairman of the Iraq National Investment Council.
LINDA WERTHEIMER, host:
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Malaki is in Washington this week, along with a trade delegation. The Iraqi government hopes to encourage American investment. Today they're holding a conference at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to convince investors that Iraq is a good bet. The head of Iraq's National Investment Commission is Dr. Sami al-Araji. He stopped by to tell us why American businesses should be looking at Iraq.
Dr. SAMI AL-ARAJI (Chairman, Iraq National Investment Council): Well, we think there's a lot of opportunities for American business to be in Iraq. Iraq is a rich nation in its capabilities and its natural resource. Now that we put the military page behind us, I think the most important page that we should cooperate on is the economic page. Hopefully that we can get American businessmen to enter into Iraq in the different economic sectors, oil and gas industry, agriculture, tourism.
WERTHEIMER: Now you mentioned oil first, and when anyone thinks of Iraq that is obviously the first of the natural resources that anybody thinks about. But Iraq's plans to award contracts to foreign oil companies to help rebuild the infrastructure of oil production, all of that, do you think it would make the process easier for outside investors if Iraq had an oil loss so that these companies will feel they have some recourse if things go wrong?
Dr. AL-ARAJI: Of course the oil and gas law is right now in the Parliament and hopefully it will be - hopefully it will be approved before the end of the year. This is our hope. Second, there are governmental agreements - the governmental guarantees to all the investors that their rights are protected.
WERTHEIMER: What do you think is the principal barrier?
Dr. AL-ARAJI: To begin with, I think there is still this notion that Iraq is still, security-wise, is let's say, not inducive or conducive to investments. We would like to say that we think that the environment is now very much favorable to the American business and American companies to enter.
WERTHEIMER: As I'm sure you're aware, Dr. Al-Araji, the organization called Transparency International…
Dr. AL-ARAJI: Yeah.
WERTHEIMER: …which takes a look at countries and how they govern, rated Iraq as the third most corrupt country in the world. Now that's - that's no kind of rating to have when you're trying to attract businesses to come in.
Dr. AL-ARAJI: To begin with, I really disagree with this rating. I do not rule out that we have a certain amount of corruption in certain areas of, let's say of our machinery - whether it be in the public or the private. But I would say, we are not that bad in comparison to a lot of countries in the region.
WERTHEIMER: One of the major, you know, things that a lot has been written about that nothing is really going to happen in terms of the development of Iraq until after the elections, that there is a pause - the oil law has not passed, the elections have not been held. That everything is kind of on hold until all of that is taken care of.
Dr. AL-ARAJI: No, I'm not saying that. Life…
WERTHEIMER: I know you're not saying that.
Dr. AL-ARAJI: Life…
WERTHEIMER: I'm saying that.
Dr. AL-ARAJI: Life is moving on. We're working very hard and diligently to use the remainder of this year. When election comes the people will judge who did the best for them and who's capable of doing the best for them.
WERTHEIMER: Dr. Al-Araji, thank you very much.
Dr. AL-ARAJI: Thank you.
WERTHEIMER: Dr. Sami al-Araji is the chairman of Iraq's National Investment Commission. He joined us here in our studies in Washington.

Energy-based devices allow for a more rapid and efficient ligation of blood vessels during operations. In the present study, we evaluated the feasibility of a laser as an alternative energy source for the vessel sealing system and determined the optimal condition of laser for an effective vessel sealing through histologic examination.
The arteries (5 mm diameter) harvested from porcine legs were compressed between two glass-slides to eliminate its luminal space and were irradiated with 1,470-nm diode laser under various sealing conditions, including laser power (5–30 W), irradiation time (5 or 10 seconds), and focus mode (focus or defocus). Subsequently, the irradiated vessels were fixed in 4% formaldehyde and then processed to paraffin block. The paraffinized sample was sectioned and stained with hematoxylin and eosin for histological evaluation.
The extent of tissue change was positively correlated with duration and power of laser. In defocus mode, the irradiated vessels showed sufficient tissue denaturation for sealing effect without severe tissue destruction. Moreover, among the various conditions of irradiation, laser power between 15 and 20 W, as well as exposure time of 5 seconds were appropriate for sealing the blood vessels.
Adequate power and irradiation duration of laser can render blood vessels to be sealed effectively, although the higher power of laser may be required to cut the vessels.
Suture ligation and hemostasis of blood vessels during surgery is a time-consuming and skill-intensive process. To reduce these burdens, several energy-based devices using ultrasound and radiofrequency (RF) have been used for blood vessel sealing system.1,2 Whereas ultrasonic devices make use of the thermal energy of rapid vibration for coagulation and cutting blood vessels, RF-based devices achieve hemostasis and coagulation with heat generated by electrical current.3 These energy-based devices can be rapid and efficient in blood vessel ligation, which reduce times and costs significantly in diverse surgical environment.4–6
However, each of the energy-based devices has some weaknesses. RF-based devices can make wider denaturation and collateral damage after blood vessel sealing compared to ultrasound devices.7,8 In contrast, although ultrasonic devices show less thermal spread than RF devices, the maximal temperature of those instrument tip increase over 200°C, which takes over 20 seconds to cool to usable condition.9 In addition, ultrasonic devices may not be easy to be flexible due to their acting mechanism.
To overcome these drawbacks, new energy sources to be installed in surgical devices are needed. Since laser has unique characteristics such as beam focusing and flexibility, laser can be made as a flexible device, cut and heat a tissue precisely. Recently, optical based systems have been studied as the new surgical instrument for vessel sealing. The infrared lasers with diverse wavelengths from 808 to 1,908 nm were investigated for coagulation and sealing for wide range of blood vessel diameters and the high-power 1,470 nm diode laser showed higher burst pressure and less thermal spread than other energy-based devices.10,11
However, although these preliminary studies have shown the possibility of 1,470 nm diode laser as an alternative device, further study for the exact condition of laser-based device is needed for making one-step cutting and rapid sealing device. Thus, this study aimed at histologic and functional investigation of various condition in laser power, irradiation time and focus/defocus mode for safe and efficient vessel sealing system using 1,470-nm diode laser.
Porcine femoral and radial arteries were used for all laboratory studies. First of all, 40 kg female pigs were anaesthetized and euthanized with Zoletil 50 5 mg/kg, Rompun 2 mg/kg and KCl 2 mmol/kg. After obtained from front and hind legs, femoral and radial arteries with 5 to 6 mm diameter were processed by removal of fat and stored in phosphate buffered saline prior to use. Then arteries were cut into 2.5 mm length to fit laser irradiation setup.
We designed a bench-top setup for testing the laser sealing and cutting of blood vessels (Fig. 1A). Using this system, we identified the optimal conditions in laser power, beam shape, and irradiation time for the effective laser surgery.
A diode laser with the wavelength of 1,470 nm (QPC laser; Laser Operation LLC, CA, USA) and output power of 45 W was coupled to the fiber with 400-μm-core diameter (People Laser Tech, Anyang, Korea). A spherical lens (People Laser Tech) with the focal length of 30 mm collimated the output beam from the fiber. A cylindrical lens (model LJ1212L1-C; Thorlabs, NJ, USA) with focal length of 100 mm was used to focus one axis of the beam such that a line beam was generated at the target plane, in which blood vessel was to be positioned. The dimension of the line beam was 0.5 mm by 10 mm. A beam dump was positioned at the downstream in order to block the transmitted beam. The arteries transected from porcine were sandwiched between two transparent slide glasses were placed at or near the focal plane of the cylindrical lens.
In order to find the optimal condition for the sealing of the blood vessels, we placed the vessels at the focal plane of the cylindrical lens (Focus mode) and at the location slighted away from the focal plane of the lens (Defocus mode). Depending on the distance from the focal plane, we could control the size of the line beam in its shorter axis and control the laser irradiation power per unit area. In short, the laser was irradiated to the compressed vessel with the laser power from 5 to 30 W, irradiation time for 5 or 10 seconds, and focus or defocus mode.
The irradiated arteries were fixed in 4% formaldehyde and processed to paraffin block. The paraffinized samples were longitudinally sectioned along a long axis of the vessels and stained with hematoxylin and eosin for histological evaluation. After mounted using mounting medium, slides were examined with an Olympus BX51 microscope. Pictures were captured and controlled in Olympus DP72 and DP2-BSW.
The adequate condition of sealed vessels was defined as showing the even and whole denaturation from the front to back side of the vessels and both intimae were tightly stuck together without any gaps. In addition, the lateral thermal damage zone was defined from 1 to 2 mm as an adequate condition. However, when occurring an inadequate and localized denaturation of vessels or tissue destruction and detachment by severe thermal damage of vessels, we classified it as an inadequate condition.
We measured burst pressure of the sealed vessels to compare the sealing completeness of vessels according to the various sealing condition. Following the standard pressure measurement protocol conducted elsewhere,12,13 we constructed a setup composed of pressure calibrator (model 717-100G; Fluke, Everett, WA, USA), syringe pump (model Fusion 100; Chemyx, TX, USA), and Iris clamp (Fig. 1B).
After sealing the vessels, the mid-portions of those were divided with surgical scalpel and then the one end of the vessel lumen was placed over a cannula attached to the infusion pump and was closed with iris clamp to seal the vessel onto the cannula. Using the syringe pump, PBS was fed into the vessel at a flow rate of 7.5 ml/min and the pressure was measured with the pressure meter. The maximum pressure (mmHg) just before the vessel seal bursts was regarded as the burst pressure for a given sealing condition. For control, the burst pressures were also estimated in the vessels sealed with Harmonic Scalpel® and LigaSure® Vessel Sealing System.
The blood vessels irradiated with 1,470 nm diode laser were shown in Fig. 2. The laser-irradiated regions were visible in all conditions and showed a tendency to be more charred as the power and the irradiating duration of laser increased. In particular, the char formation tended to increase when irradiating the laser with focus mode and the tissue destruction extensively occurred at an irradiance of 30 W for 5 or 10 seconds.
The histologic findings of the irradiated vessels showed tissue denaturation and adhesion between the front and back side of vessels (Fig. 3). In terms of the completeness of tissue denaturation between the front and back side of vessels, defocus mode was more effective than focus mode, in which the laser was not effectively penetrated into the vessels and the tissue denaturation was not elicited evenly at the full-thickness of the vessels. The vessel walls were relatively more destructed when exposed to the laser irradiation with increasing power from 25 W. In addition, the proportion of denaturation was correlated with the exposure time of laser. When exposed for 10 seconds, the irradiated vessels showed relatively wider tissue denaturation than those for 5 seconds. As a result, the adequate condition with the full-thickness and uniform denaturation and lateral thermal damage of the vessel wall less than 1 mm was the defocus mode laser with an irradiance of 20 W for 5 seconds.
Among various conditions of vessel sealing with the laser, we chose the eight conditions for estimating burst pressure; focus mode at irradiance ranging from 15 to 25 W for 5 seconds, defocus mode from 15 to 25 W for 5 seconds and focus and defocus modes at irradiance of 20 W for 10 seconds.
The mean of burst pressures, after sealing the vessels with Harmonic Scalpel® and LigaSure® Vessel Sealing System, were from 380 mmHg to 507 mmHg and 410 mmHg, respectively. Therefore, the adequate burst pressure was defined as the range between 380 and 507 mmHg of the control sealing, since it is enough to endure the blood pressure exceeding the normal systolic blood pressure of 120 mmHg as well as that above 180 mmHg typically observed in malignant hypertension. Additionally, the other criterion was low standard deviation less than 100 mmHg meaning a consistent sealing of vessels. Consequently, defocus mode at an irradiance of 20 W for 5 and 10 seconds was the target condition to reveal a sufficient burst pressure (Fig. 4).
The present study demonstrated the adequate condition of laser for vessel sealing through histologic evaluation of blood vessels sealed by irradiation of 1,470 nm near-infrared (NIR) lasers. Comparing to the previous other vessel sealing systems, the sealed vessels under the conditions of defocus mode, 20 W, and irradiation time of 5 to 10 seconds elicited acceptably high burst pressure.
The previous study has suggested that NIR lasers with wavelengths producing optical penetration depths of approximately 0.3 to 0.6 mm could produce sufficiently strong sealing of blood vessels. In addition, among various wavelengths of laser, 1,470 nm diode laser elicited the ability to fuse vessels ranging from 1 to 6 mm in diameter with minimal charring and collateral thermal damage at irradiance of 31 W for a relatively short period less than 5 seconds.10 However, in contrast with this previous study, the power of 30 W showed the excessive destruction of vessel walls in the histologic evaluation of the sealed vessels and the adequate condition for laser sealing system was 20 W, defocus mode, and 5 or 10 seconds of irradiating duration in our study. Especially, the completeness and uniformity of tissue denaturation of the front and back side of blood vessels seemed to be more associated with focus/defocus mode than laser power. Higher power of laser tends to occur more extensive tissue destruction compared to uniform tissue denaturation that ensuring a vessel sealing. Actually, In the present study, laser with focus mode or high power was not effectively penetrated into the vessels and the tissue denaturation was not elicited evenly at the full-thickness of the vessels. However, these results of our study may be associated with an impractical situation, which the laser was irradiated on the collapsed blood vessels sandwiched between two transparent slide glasses. In an actual surgical situation using energy-based devices, blood vessels are collapsed by two end-tips of the device and then cut under a slight tension. Therefore, if the compression pressure to collapse blood vessels increase and if the force pulling on both sides of the vessels is applied, the sealing and cutting of blood vessels may be elicited more effectively and easily.
In conclusion, the extent of tissue change was positively correlated to duration and power of laser. The adequate condition of 1,470 nm laser for sealing of blood vessels was the power between 15 and 20 W and exposure time for 5 seconds in defocused mode. Even if the higher power of laser may be required to cut the vessels, the adequate power and irradiation duration of laser can render blood vessels to be sealed effectively.

The CM3-Panel is fully compatible with the Raspberry Pi 3 but it maps the peripherals on different pins. For this reason some files have to be added an some other have to be modified.
This articles has been verified with Raspbian Buster Desktop and Lite version July 2019
Create a standard microSD following the official instruction on:
Mount the MicroSD just created on your PC. The first partition boot is formatted as FAT32 and so is visible on Windown, Mac and Linux PC.
These are the files to changes:
and these are the files to create:
While booting up, the Raspberry Pi reads some configuration parameters from the first partition of MicroSD card.
These parameters are stored in a file called config.txt inside the first microSD partition.
You can edit this configuration from any PC because the first partition is formatted as FAT so it can be read with Mac, Windown or Linux. Use an ASCII editor like Nodepad or similar (please don't use Word :-) and add these lines at the end of this file:
#Ignore the HDMI cable hotplug (to avoid the delay at startup)
# Set the debug port on GPIO32, GPIO33 pins
# Is not requested to insert this line
# Activates the I2C 1 port on GPIO44 and 45 to talk with the
# touch screen controller end camera crypto-chip
## Enable the DPI port to talk with the TFT display

Skins Quotes 11/25/19: Bill Callahan
November 25, 2019
Interim Head Coach Bill Callahan
On whether he talked to QB Dwayne Haskins Jr. about missing the final play:
"Yeah, I did. It was disappointing and I think that it's an experience he'll learn from as he matures and understands it's a 60-minute game. It's never over until it's over. I think he was caught up in the emotion of the game itself – youthful exuberance, I would call it. I think it got away from him a little bit, but I think he's fully aware that professionally his mind should be on the game throughout the duration of 60 minutes."
On whether the team will fine Haskins Jr. for missing the final play:
"I think it's a great learning experience for him. I think he'll learn more than any finable offense that you could ever give somebody. I think the message is pretty clear."
On how he feels the clock management was handled during the game:
"I just felt that I could've done a better job just bringing the clock down a little bit more and then taking the timeout a little bit later than what we did."
On whether clock management is something he has to get used to again:
"No, I just thought it was a little premature in terms of banging the timeout. I felt good about the field position we were at. Just left a little bit too much time on the clock for our defense to handle."
On Haskins Jr.'s wrist injury:
"Like I said last night, I went in to see the medical people and, yes, there was a slight wrist injury to his wrist. It was reported this morning, so I don't know to what extent if it's going to be a bad bruise or a slight bruise. To what extent, how that plays out we'll have to see."
On what has allowed WR Steven Sims Jr. to find success in the return game:
"Like I said last night, I thought [Special Teams Coordinator] Nate Kaczor has done a great job with the special teams unit. I thought the return game was excellent in every aspect. We start the game with a 33-yarder, put us in good field position. We didn't capitalize on it, we went three-and-out and turned it over, and then he came back and answered with a 91-yard return touchdown, which was fabulous. He's made a lot of plays like that similarly throughout the year and he's becoming more active in his role as a wide receiver. As a slot, we're putting him in more man-to-man type of situations where he can beat man coverage. He has unique quickness, sudden change. He has the ability to separate and really set a defender up and get open. I think it's a little bit more of a progression. He's not the tallest receiver. He is shorter, but he's explosive, he's fast, he's quick. Sometimes, I think in the draft what happens is everyone's looking for the great size and speed, and sometimes guys like [WR] Steven [Sims Jr.] get overlooked at times, so it was a good job by our scouting department to pick him up, bring him in and have him excel at what he's doing right now."
On whether Sims Jr. will have an opportunity to return punts this season:
"Oh yeah. I think he's been in that role as a backup, he's competed for that role so there's always that opportunity ‒ that opportunity exists if needed."
On why it was the right time to challenge the players in a private team meeting:
"I challenge our team every week. It's just a matter of how you challenge your team. I think there's a difference in how you challenge your team and talk to them and them to know how you truly feel about certain things ‒ fair, honest. I'm pretty open in terms of what I think, how we're doing and where we're at. Maybe a little different tone than normal, but it was heartfelt, it was passionate. I think the message was really clear. We needed to start fast, play harder, play better than what we have been doing."
On the inherent risks when addressing the players with harsh criticism:
"It's not a game for the faint of heart. It's a pretty physical, mentally tough game that we play when you cross the white line. You got to be able to be tough minded, take criticism, take hard coaching. Some take it well, a lot of players came up to me afterwards and said they appreciated that. I just do my best. I know when you have a large group, in any large group dynamic, you're going to have people that favor things that you do, you're going to have your detractors, maybe some guys that it maybe doesn't appeal to. The message was clear throughout the team, it wasn't pointed at one person or one position, it was clearly a team message."
On whether he'll share that message:
"No, I would rather keep it private."
On what makes DT Jonathan Allen ready to lead as a young player:
"When [DT] Jonathan [Allen] came here, interesting enough, the background he has having grown up here in this region and then going to the University of Alabama and playing in a successfully program, a highly competitive program where they compete day-to-day at a very high level, that's how those from that program are raised. That's where they come from. That's what they're accustomed to and that's how they train and it's how they live. When you have guys like him, [DT] Daron Payne, [LB] Shaun Dion Hamilton and you go on-and-on, [S] Landon Collins, those guys have a competitive nature to themselves that's really unique. You can see why that program has been so successful year-in and year-out. The consistency of that program, how they practice and also how they train, how they prepare for meetings, everything that they do is at a very high level. Everything is important in that program in winning. They want to win. They love to win. Once you get a taste of that, you don't want to go the other way. They get frustrated when you're not at a winning level or doing things on a winning level, whether it's practice, whether it's the weight room, the meeting room, the team room, they're highly, highly competitive kids. These players, they demand that. I feel that's my obligation to them is to give them something everyday to make them better, to make them more motivated, more inspired to play well."
On how LB Cole Holcomb has grown as a player:
"[LB] Cole [Holcomb] played well. His tackle points led our team and he had the sack, as well. There are so many aspects where he can read, react. He works hard, he's diligent, studies, he's intuitive – he has all the traits that you want out of a linebacker. I think [Linebackers Coach] Rob Ryan has done a great job in his development and bringing him along so early in his career. Just having the awareness and, like I said, the instincts of feeling out plays, knowing plays, improving in his coverage and applying the pressure that he does when he's asked to blitz and he does those things pretty well."
On whether there's a challenge to avoid overloading young players like Holcomb with information:
"I think you give a player as much as you can give him and you'll hit that point as a coach where you know that it's too much for them, but I don't think you just sit there and just spoon feed a player in terms of your installation. They have to learn the system, pick up the install, pick up the plays, the concepts and move forward and give it to him as much as you can, and then repeat it over and over and over again. That's where I think [Linebackers Coach] Rob [Ryan] has done a great job with him."
On how Haskins Jr.'s performance improved under pressure:
"I thought he took a real step in the fourth quarter in crunch time where we needed him. He made plays with his feet, he escaped the pocket, made a positive first down. I thought he performed under pressure as well as you can possibly perform and that's the exciting dynamic about his play. There were throws of course that we saw throughout the game where he might have overthrown a few, missed a few throws, but if we connect on those – [Offensive Coordinator] Kevin [O'Connell] and I were talking earlier this morning – he might have had a three or four touchdown day. I mean that was viable."
On whether Haskins Jr.'s mistakes were mechanical or mental:
"I think it was a little bit of everything. I think at times he can rush, at times he's a little bit too strong with his arm, at times he laid it out there too far. I mentioned yesterday, I'd rather have the missed hit than obviously a ball that's low and inside that's obviously in a position to be picked, but I thought he really learned throughout the game and the playbook expanded, it got more vertical for him, he unleashed a couple throws – the third and long throw when we were backed up was a great throw to [WR Kelvin Harmon] and we just missed, we just missed by a foot. There's other plays that he was on target and other plays that as he reads through the progression he'll learn a little bit better. He'll learn from this experience and this game especially not only about the reads and the progressions, but I think he'll learn a little bit more about his footwork and his base, and where it needs to be and how his feet need to be set to make a more accurate type throw."
On how a young quarterback goes about correcting his inaccuracy:
"I don't think he was way off. I wouldn't say he was spraying the ball all over a lot. I think he was just missing. There were times where – I mean, you're talking about maybe a foot here, maybe a little bit more air or trajectory better could have possibly been the difference between the incomplete and the huge, huge explosive play. I don't think he's far off at all, I just think it's a matter of more experience and in terms of correcting it, going back to his fundamental techniques, making sure when they are correct he is good. There are clearly enough examples on film today as we watched as a staff and as a position, watching his feet. When they're right and his eyes are right and his timing is right, he gets through the progression, his delivery was accurate and he's making plays. So there are a lot of positives that came out of this game about his performance and there are a lot of things he's got to learn to get better at as well."

I really like the way Callahan communicates in these pressers. He's always humble, he takes responsibility when he should, and he finds a way to hold his players accountable while protecting them at the same time.

ANCHORAGE (KTUU) - Those who suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and don't want to take medication, or have and it's failed, now have an option with a groundbreaking treatment. Brainsways Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Helmet, or TMS, has been proven to provide remission from OCD-related symptoms. TMS is over 50% effective as opposed to medication for OCD, which only 38% and has side effects.
The helmet targets an area of the brain that controls OCD and sends deep magnetic pulses to that region. Treatment is 5 days a week for 20 minutes for 6 weeks. It's non-invasive and patients are awake the entire time. Howard Chaitoff, a Physician Assistant at TMS Center of Alaska, said what's unique about the treatment is doctors have what's called a provocation script, meaning in order to treat the behavior, they have to trigger it first.
"When you come in if your obsession-compulsion is cleaning contamination then we would ask you to think about those things you had to do on the way into the building, touching the door handles into the building, pushing the button on the elevator, I might have a tissue on the floor that I'd ask you to pick up and put on the table," he said.
Chaitoff explained the only side effect or symptom patients have experienced was a little discomfort because of the magnetic pulses, but it went away after a couple days. OCD is a neurological disease that if not treated can be a lifelong chronic disease. TMS Center of Alaska is one of the first facilities in the country to offer it this new treatment.

What do meatballs, mushrooms, and beans all have in common? Apparently, more than we think! Obviously, there is more in these yummy morsels- but they only require 10 ingredients and are super simple to make.
These "meatballs" would be great in your traditional spaghetti & meatballs, but also in other recipes like Swedish meatballs! You could really add these to any meal for some plant-based protein, or eat them as a snack. I know I mentioned above that they are easy, but let me show you just how easy they really are…
So, I literally threw everything in my food processor and blended until smooth.
Then I scooped the batter into a large bowl and added the remaining oat flour, rolled them into balls, and baked for about 25-30 minutes!
The texture of these "meatballs" is surprisingly meat-ish and they are super filling! Let's get to it, shall we?
Mushroom + Bean "Meatballs"
- 14-16 ounces mushrooms
- 1.5 cups oats
- 2.5 cups oat flour, (additional 2.5 cups oats blended into flour)
- 1 can cannellini beans
- 1/2 onion
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp liquid aminos
- 1/3 cup fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 2 pinches salt + pepper
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
- Place all ingredients (except for the additional 2.5 cups of oats/oat flour) in your food processor and blend until smooth
- **NOTE: you may have to do this in steps if you can't fit all ingredients in your food processor at once
- Scoop your batter into a large bowl and fold in the remaining oat flour
- With wet hands, form your batter into balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet
- Bake for 20-30 minutes flipping once halfway through

Now that winegrowing in the United States has succeeded so brilliantly after long years of frustration, and now that it is beginning once again to spread to nearly every state in the union, it seems to me particularly fitting that the many obscure and forgotten people and their work lying behind that success should be brought out into the light. It is also instructive to see how many names celebrated in other connections also belong to the story of American winegrowing, from Captain John Smith onwards.

Within two years of Columbus's discovery, for example, the Spaniards reported vines growing in the Caribbean islands. 9 The Pilgrims in New England found the species now called Vitis labrusca growing profusely in the woods around their settlements. 10 The labrusca, or northern fox grape, is the best looking of the natives, with large berries that may come in black, white, or red. It is the only native grape that exhibits this range of colors. Labrusca is still the best known of the native species because the ubiquitous Concord, the grape that most Americans take to be the standard of "grapeyness" in juice and jellies, is a pure example of it.

My entire adult life there has been one thing I have forever been searching for…. my passion. I'm not talking about the emotional kind. I mean my niche. Why can't I find something that I love doing. That I believe in. I've tried different hobbies, jobs, schooling. Nothing seems to appeal to me. I enjoyed doing it all at some point but only for a moment. As I go through my daily walks of life I see so many friends and acquaintances finding their passion and the only thing I find is frustration. Where is mine?!
The other day a person I look to as a mentor said to a bunch of us "tell me what your dream job is". I could name a crazy number of things I dream of being able to do. Every one of them is realistically achievable. Some were things I even dreamed of being passionate about. If I've touched on it before and it didn't catch on, is it logical to give any of those things another take and hope it turns out to be the one thing I am passionate about? Or would it be a waste of time and I should just move on and try something totally new and different? How do I find my way?
I've been told to keep trying until I find that one thing that lights my soul on fire. I feel like that's what I've been doing and it's not working. I know, I know. I'm being impatient. Well, yeah. I'm almost 30 years old and I still can't see my line of sight. Granted, since having my son (7 years ago) at least now I have a vague idea of the direction I would like to travel in. Time's getting on!
…could it be that I am blogging about my passion lost and inadvertently find that my passion is blogging?
Mind boggling!
