The Giants are the main antagonists of the novel and films of The BFG. They were led by the Fleshlumpeater, being the most notable member of the band of monsters. Compared to the BFG, they were ferocious and hideous monsters bent on kidnapping and devouring any and every child they could.
In the 2016 film, the Giants were portrayed by:
- Jemaine Clement portrayed the Fleshlumpeater. Clement also portrayed Boris the Animal
- Bill Hader portrayed the Bloodbottler.
- Michael Adamthwaite played the Butcher Boy, who collected cars everywhere in the place.
- Chris Gibbs portrayed the Gizzardgulper.
- Adam Godley portrayed the Manhugger.
- Jonathan Holmes portrayed the Childchewer.
- Paul Moniz de Sa portrayed the Meatdripper.
- Olafur Olafsson portrayed the Maidmasher.
- David Bacon portrayed the Bonecruncher.
In the novel
Living in a large desert known as Giant Country (implied to be on another planet or in another dimension), the Giants were 50 feet tall, had skins burned by the sun, and are dressed in a skirt-like covering around their waists. Often engaged in night-time raids of the human world, the giants have been stealing men, women and children alike under the cover of night and devouring them: although the BFG was aware of the crimes, his fellow Giants committed he was unable to stop their evil ways.
This would change when the BFG befriended a young girl named Sophie and took her to Giant Land, through her, he picked up the courage to finally call on the British Army to deal with the Giants and they managed to capture the beasts as they slept but woke up the Fleshlumpeater when doing so. The Fleshlumpeater was surprised, but he was even more hungry at seeing the humans in his country, and he jumped to his feet, boasting about how he would eat them all. Sophie stuck a brooch the Queen had given her into the Fleshlumpeater, causing him pain and making him retreat, the BFG tricked him into being tied up. Afterwards, they flew the Giants back to England by chaining them under helicopters and had them locked away in a large pit where they would be fed nothing but a disgusting plant known as "Snozzcumbers" as punishment for their crimes for the rest of their lives.
The BFG (1989 film)
The Giants are the primary antagonists of the film. While all nine of the giants are named, only Fleshlumpeater and Bloodbottler were identified.
The BFG (2016 film)
|You are a very bad Giant!
|~ Sophie to the Fleshlumpeater.
|I has no regrets!
|~ The Fleshlumpeater, showing his evil nature.
The Giants return as the primary antagonists of this live action film. This time, all nine of them are identified.
They are first introduced when they are seen swarming outside the BFG's home in Giant Country, being described to Sophie as bogeymen who will eat her if she so much as steps outside. The BFG tells her that the Giants have been eating humans for centuries, and he is powerless to stop them all.
Initially, Sophie disbelieves the BFG about the Giant threat, and sneaks out, but is horrifyingly captured by the Fleshlumpeater, and almost eaten alive - but this is shown to be a nightmare the BFG intentionally gave Sophie to make her see that he is telling the truth all along.
The leader of the Giants, the Fleshlumpeater, enters the cave, calling him "Runt", and initially claims that he is keeping him awake with his "jabbeling", but then admits he has a "booboo" on his finger. As the BFG tends to his cut, the brute picks up Sophie's scent and realizes the BFG has a human. The Fleshlumpeater narrowly tracks Sophie, who hides in the snozzcumber vegetable on the table. He almost eats her after being persuaded by the BFG to try the snozzcumber, only for her to reveal her feet so the BFG can stop him in time, reminding the Fleshlumpeater that he hates vegetables and eats only "beans". With that, he takes one of the bottles of Frobscottle instead and storms outside, saying that the BFG is an insult to "giant peoples".
The Giants ambush the BFG when he goes outside for dream-catching upon Bloodbottler quickly waking up. Being bored, the Giants decide to amuse themselves by throwing the BFG around like a football and then trapping him (and, unbeknowest to them, Sophie) inside two abandoned Jeeps and zoom downhill to give the others entertainment. The Gizzardgulper and the BFG are forced into a collision course, with each going downhill, but the crash course ends violently with Sophie being thrown from the Jeep and the BFG being humiliated. The BFG gets his own back on the Giants by telling them rain will strike, and as the Giants are deeply afraid of water, because its something even they cannot control, the Giants are all scared off into hiding. However, in the chaos, Sophie drops her blanket, and the Fleshlumpeater picks it up and smells it with his sidekick the Bloodbottler. They both remark "Bean!" and look hungrily and suspiciously round the landscape.
When the BFG has gone dream-hunting, and found a good dream, (a Golden Phizzwizard) and a nightmare, (a trogglehumper). On the way back, the BFG hears sounds of lament and points out the notice of a group of the giants (the Fleshlumpeater, the Butcher Boy, the Maidmasher, the Manhugger, and the Meatdripper) who are out on a night of eating children. The BFG later fears for Sophie's safety when he realizes she dropped her blanket in Giant Country and the Giants have her scent. The BFG returns her to the orphanage, but she convinces him to take her back to Giant Country as she is not afraid of the Giants.
Now furious, Sophie decides to concoct a plan to end the threat, especially as she realizes the BFG befriended a young boy, in Victorian times, only to have the Giants sniff him out and eat him, to the BFG's dismay.
However, back in Giant Country, the BFG is ambushed in his lair and interrogated in his cave by all nine of the Giants, who threaten to find the hiding human bean and eat her. Sophie desperately is forced into a game of cat-and-mouse from the Giants, which ends with the Giants smashing the dream jars and releasing all of the dreams. The BFG finally gets his courage, and, brandishing a poker, yells "This is my work - get out!" and actually burns the Fleshlumpeater, who only gets enraged, and humorously falls over backwards when exiting the cave.
The Giants are soon all ambushed by the Army when the BFG successfully conquers his fears of humans to speak to the Queen of England about the problem. She sends her forces to capture the Giants. The Fleshlumpeater is almost about to eat Sophie when she smashes open the trogglehumper nightmare. The angry Sophie scolds him for being an evil monster, to which he remarks he has no regrets. The BFG sends in the British Army who tie the Giants up on the helicopters, and then they fly them out into an island in the North Sea, sending them dropping into the ocean, and when they crawl ashore, shoving each other, the Army drop them a farewell gift of snozzcumber vegetables to eat for eternity. As Sophie remarks, they would just have to get used to it.
The Giants see humans only as food. Apparently, all humans taste different, and thus reflect the nature of their countries - for instance, humans from Turkey taste strongly of turkey (the animal). Welsh humans have a very suspicious taste, apparently, tasting strongly of whales, and mostly all Giants avoid humans from Greece, because apparently they taste greasy and no Giants eat Greeks ever (a possible reference to how humanity's greatest Giant slayers have been from ancient Greek stories). All of the Giants are dim-witted, with the exception of the Fleshlumpeater, the leader of the gang, and to a higher extant, the Bloodbottler, the secondary leader and overall most intelligent of the group. The Manhugger is the tallest and surpasses even the Fleshlumpeater in terms of height (though also slim and not as powerful), the Butcher Boy is the youngest and has the most childlike demeanor, and the Gizzardgulper is the shortest, standing 39 ft tall. All of the Giants are incredibly violent and aggressive, so they (although getting along well with one another) love getting in rough brawls with each other (similar to schoolyard fights). However according to the BFG, they will never go so far as to kill or eat one of their own species - but even the Fleshlumpeater breaks this code of honour at the end by vowing to eat the BFG for a change. The Fleshlumpeater is the most sadistic and apparently likes spending his days planning which humans to eat in the night time.
However, routine can be deadly, and the BFG and Sophie are able to exploit the routine of the more dim-witted Giants by using their absence when hunting humans to approach the Queen to send the Army to imprison them all.
The Giants are all terrified of Jack because he is one of the only humans to have killed a Giant and thus they know he is more than a match for them. Luckily for them, Jack may or may not be fictional.
- It is worth noting that in the film, the Giants' actors all have names either appropriate or inappropriate for their roles. Adam Godley, who portrays the Manhugger, has an ironic name, he portrays an ungodly and blasphemous monster yet his name gives the impression of holiness.

Capital is a key measurement of a credit union's financial fortitude. It acts as a cushion against losses and as protection for members during times of economic instability for the credit union. When looking at safety and soundness, the more capital, the better.
GREAT PLAINS exceeded the national average of 15.65 points on our test to measure the adequacy of a credit union's capital, racking up 24 out of a possible 30 points.
GREAT PLAINS's capitalization ratio of 24.00 percent in our test was better than the average for all credit unions, suggesting that it's more well prepared for financial trouble than its peers.
This test is intended to estimate how the credit union's loan loss reserves and overall capitalization could be affected by problem assets, such as past-due mortgages.
A credit union with extensive holdings of these kinds of assets may eventually be required to use capital to cover losses, decreasing its equity buffer. It also means that there are likely to be many assets that are in non-accrual status and thus aren't earning interest for the credit union, reducing earnings and elevating the risk of a failure in the future.
GREAT PLAINS scored 40 out of a possible 40 points on Bankrate's test of asset quality, beating the national average of 38.09.
A below-average ratio of troubled assets of 0.00 percent in our test was potentially indicative of superior financial strength compared to other credit unions.
A credit union's earnings performance affects its safety and soundness. Earnings can be retained by the credit union, boosting its capital cushion, or be used to deal with problematic loans, likely making the credit union more resilient in times of trouble. However, credit unions that are losing money are less able to do those things.
On Bankrate's test of earnings, GREAT PLAINS scored 2 out of a possible 30, coming in below the national average of 10.11.
One indication that GREAT PLAINS is running ahead of its peers in this area was its earnings ratio of 0.00 percent in our test, higher than the average for all credit unions.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.

Imagine that Publication A is the first item in the list on the Main tab. Now let's say the user goes to the Search tab, performs a search, and Publication A is in the search results. If the user taps Publication A, it will be marked as read and shaded certain color in the search results list. If the user goes back to the Main tab, Publication A should also be shaded to indicate it has been read.
There are plenty of MVVM tutorials on the subject but they all seem to assume one Model, one View, and one ViewModel. I believe what I need is to understand how to wire up a single Model to two Views, and two ViewModels. I have found several threads here in Software Engineering (like this one) but no real guidance or answers.
Can somebody please point me in the right direction? Thanks.

A good website hosting plan is far more than space on a server. It's a highly proactive and valuable service administered by trained professionals! Your website has parts that will break, expire and cause communication problems, just like your car's parts will eventually break or malfunction and cause transportation problems.
If you've owned a website for any length of time, you've surely experienced a utility malfunction, broken page link or even a complete outage. Panic can set in when that happens, especially in a marketing or sales-driven company. You can begin to imagine people visiting your site and leaving with the impression that your company's act isn't really together. Or, maybe you're frustrated that your competition comes up in keyword searches, but your site is nowhere to be found.
Stay Functioning and Visible!
The technology overlords of the Internet don't particularly like websites that aren't cared for, which clutter up the data universe with a bunch of old, static and irrelevant content. And, they have ways of punishing those sites by lowering their "authority" and page ranking; search visibility.
You do not know the identity of your website visitors unless they give it to you by opting-in to an offer; filling out a form. That means potential clients, perhaps big ones, are examining your online offerings and possibly getting frustrated with their experience when your site lacks an adequate maintenance program… and you won't even know about the lost opportunities.
FACT: Without a professionally managed program of itemized, ongoing technical maintenance and content updates, your website will suffer lower search results and diminished user experience. Some browsers such as Google Chrome might even flash a warning screen cautioning visitors before entering what they deem could be a malware prone or unsafe website.
Website Hosting Best Practice
Put your website on a managed hosting and maintenance plan instead of a basic hosting plan. A fully managed website maintenance plan costs more than basic hosting and it's more than worth the difference! You avoid disruptions in sales and workflows caused by malfunctioning web pages. Search bots "see" a secure and well-built, mobile-friendly site to crawl and properly index content for searchers of your products & services.
My colleagues and I cannot stress enough the importance of maintaining SEO and website competitiveness today, and it's only getting more intense out there!

Things to Consider When Choosing a Rhinoplasty Surgeon.
There are numerous options available should you wish you have a Cosmetic surgery operation done on any part of your body. Since there are several cosmetic surgeons all over the world, the right approach is to take your time and find out the best that the market has to offer because cosmetic surgery is not a matter to take lightly. It could either mess up your life or alter it to the better only if you achieve what you desired. By way of example, if you would like to have some adjustments done in your nose, you do not just select the first rhinoplasty surgeon to bump into. There are lots of factors you need to put under account prior to having any procedure performed for you personally. Following are a few of the guidelines that can help you get the right professional to serve your purpose.
You should start by conducting thorough online research in order to think of a list of surgeons you prefer before settling on one. The good thing with doing online research is that there are countless options to choose from and adequate information is always offered so that you have a clear view of what a specialist has to offer. You could also check reviews from previous clients in order to determine whether a specific surgeon is what you need or you simply need to continue doing your homework.
The other golden tip that could ease your research is asking your family doctor if you have one or a friend in the medical field to give you contacts of well known surgeons they have shared a moment with or simply a surgeon they trust will deliver according to your needs and wants. If you obtain referrals from a doctor, you're sure to be in safe hands instead of getting referrals from those who do not have any clue regarding what happens in the health care world. It's also wise to seek advice from a friend or relative who has had an encounter with a rhinoplasty surgeon and what went well. Experience is the best teacher . Therefore, obtaining advice from a person who has undergone what you plan to experience is among the very golden choices to make. The will be in the best position to direct you appropriately to the right person.
Another factor you should consider when looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon is malpractice history. Once you have found the right surgeon to serve your purpose, you need to first of all learn about their malpractice history. I am positive that you do not want to entrust your face to a specialist whose malpractice history is not pleasing in any way. It is prudent to contact the state medical board and receive the required information on the professional of your choice prior to any procedure is completed on you.

Best Bikini Money Could Buy
I am a tried and true Kulani Kini's fan. But this is the first tie back padded bikini I have purchased, and I was not disappointed. The whole ordering process is so easy and the price is second to none. Quality as always is amazing and the feel and fit is amazing. The sizing does run smallish. I'm a standard size 10 in most things... which is generally a small but in Kulani I wear a medium. But as always the medium fits perfectly. I have a pretty flat chest but the bikinis are still form flattering. I can't fault this brand! Bring on summer!

Writing Bad Emails: or why I turned off MySpace alerts
So i get this email from MySpace:
|Birthday Reminder
|One or more of your friends have birthdays coming up this week –Visit MySpace to check out who!
I get it that MySpace wants to lure you back into it's time-sucking presence as much as it can (especially if you haven't logged in for a while) but didn't anyone else give them the "Writing effective emails" memo?
Rule Number One
Don't send me an email telling me to go somewhere else as you've just made more work for me and now I don't like you. If someone is having a birthday, tell me who. Say, "Jeff is having a birthday. Visit MySpace to send him good wishes."
At work we just had a meeting about this- should we send you an email with a link to the meeting minutes folder or should we cut and paste (or attach) the meeting minutes? I'm all for including the minutes (or at least the agenda so I can remember which meeting this was for- many times there are too many and the minutes come too far from when the meeting actually was).
Rule Number Two: Be Quick and Specific
Being consise and using effective subject lines is being respectful of your and the other person's time.
say use "Hi" or "FYI" as subject lines- use things like, "FYI- todays meeting cancelled" or "Need info from you re trip." It's easier for me to prioritize instantaneously when i'm giving good things to work with.
Rule Number Three: Garbage In, Garbage Out.
This one helps you too. If you aren't specific with what you need or how you need it- you'll have to assume i'll need to clarify- which means I'll need to contact you and that takes (more) time. If you can be as specific as possible the first time (AND CONSISE), you'll get what you need fast.
Rule Number Four: Be nice! (updated)
Everyone is busy and email is part of that wonderful CMC that is full of misinterpretations due to lost contextual information. You need to be cognizant that there's a lot of information missing in email- body language, voice inflection, etc- and it may be affecting how people interpret your textual presence.
While I try to be to the point and specific, I also end up using a lot of !'s to help make sure no one thinks i'm being "short" with them. My bf tends to think all the !'s are a little excessive and make me seem like a cheerleader- but I can't see that as a bad thing. There's nothing wrong with a little (or a lot, in my case) of enthusiasm. There's nothing wrong with making sure you're writing effective emails, either.
Happy Emailing. More posts to come as I carve out a moment to write them. :-)

One Person Company and It's advantages & Disadvantages
We discus here an One Person Company and It's advantages & Disadvantages ,first we know-
What is a One Person Company?
One person company or popularly known as OPC is a new concept that came into existence along with Companies Act, 2013. It can be said as a company run by a sole proprietor.
As per sub-section (62) of Section 2 of Companies Act, 2013 a one person company is a company that has only one person as a member. That member of the company is also the director and owner of company.
Incorporation Procedure
As per Section 3 of Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014 a One person company can only be incorporated by a natural person who is an Indian citizen as well as resident of India. A person can incorporate only one OPC. In an OPC apart from a director, the member needs to appoint a nominee too. This is done to keep going concern assumption intact. The nominee will take over the business after the death or retirement of the director. The steps to incorporation of OPC are:
- Propose a director and obtain DSC (Digital Signature Certificate) for him.
- Obtain his DIN (Director Identification Number).
- Select a suitable name and forward the application to MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs).
- Draft its MOA (Memorandum of Association) and AOA (Articles of Association).
- Sign the necessary documents, like MOA and AOA and submit them electronically with the ROC (Registrar of Companies).
- Pay requisite fees along with stamp duty.
- Get the documents scrutinized by ROC.
- Obtain COI (Certificate of Incorporation).
Compared to a Private Limited Company an OPC has many benefits as below:
- Less Compliance
- Limited Liability Protection to Directors
- No requirement to holds annual or Extra-ordinary General Meeting
- Relatively less Registrar of Companies filing
The concept of a One Person Company is fairly new. Although it is easy to incorporate, it has a few restrictions, viz.
- The nominee required to be appointed must be a major.
- A One Person Company cannot be converted into a company defined under Section 8 of the Act.
- An OPC cannot perform investment activities of an NBFC (Non-Banking Financial Company).
- One person Company can have Minimum or Maximum no. of 1 Member.
- As per the Income Tax Act, 1961, private companies have been placed under the tax bracket of 30% on total income. There is no concept of OPC in Income Tax Act. The Tax rates on proprietorship as per individual slabs ranging from 10% to 30%.
- Compared to Proprietorship the costs of Incorporation is higher
- Compliances are more compared to Proprietorship.
- A One Person Company cannot be voluntarily converted into a public or private company until the expiry of two years since its incorporation. Although, if the company's paid up capital increases beyond ₹50 lacs or its average turnover exceeds than ₹2 crores then it automatically converts to a private company.

Find out why this Hong Kong teen has never been on Facebook or Instagram
South China Morning Post
Pia Sellery isn't one of the hundreds of teenagers her age who worry about how their lives compare to those of their friends. Born and schooled in Hong Kong, and currently studying at a university in California, Sellery, 19, has never used any social media other than Snapchat – which she rarely uses, anyway.
Although Sellery likes the idea of an easy way of connecting and staying in touch with friends, she values her privacy. "I have always been a private person and felt that having social media would essentially make having a truly personal life impossible. People post things about themselves so openly," she says.
Sellery doesn't want to engage in a digital life for other reasons. She does not like "the intense manufacturing necessary for a thriving social media presence, and the inauthentic nature of posting and constantly updating people about your activities".
How social media is harmful to teenagers and how young Hongkongers cope with it
Because she has had an interest in psychology – her chosen degree – and mental health since a young age, "this sort of activity" has always concerned her. Intuitively, it seemed unhealthy.
"I wanted to make sure that I was living the best life for me, not for the people watching me online."
There is, she says, so much comparison and discomfort that stems from negative self-evaluation, and social media feeds off these problematic behaviours and facilitates them to a much higher degree.
"I was worried that becoming involved in social media may affect my mental health and lead to greater comparison and 'wishful' thinking – that's to say wishing I could be like someone else, or look a different way, or have more friends.
Twitch CEO's advice for tech addicts is bad news for those who love attention-seeking apps like Facebook and Instagram
"I think people, young women specifically, tend to compare themselves to celebrities or friends by their pictures online or through their updates. This can lead to a horrid downward spiral – the people we are online are not the people we are off the screen. It is so common to create a picturesque version of who we want to be or who we think people will like, instead of presenting a real image of our experiences. Because of this, people are comparing themselves to an unattainable standard and to people who live such extravagant lives that it is almost impossible to compete," she says.
Sellery is not alone when it comes to Facebook. A survey conducted by the Pew Research Centre, released in June, found that only 51 per cent of US youngsters aged 13 to 17 used the social network. This compares to the much higher figure of 71 per cent when the centre conducted similar research in 2015.
Hong Kong-based MindnLife psychologist Dr Quratulain Zaidi, agrees that it can be hard for adolescents these days, "because they have to almost go through it twice, in their real lives and then in their online lives".
5 tips to stay safe on social media
Zaidi is not at all surprised at the various reports that show that social media and text messages have become so important to teenage life that they are promoting anxiety and lowering self-esteem.
"Self-esteem comes from consolidating who you are. The more identities you have, and the more time you spend pretending to be someone you aren't, the harder it's going to be to feel good about yourself, and as I said, teens have an online and real life identity to consolidate in this era," she says.
Virtual connections, as Zaidi reminds us, are frequently devoid of eye-to-eye contact, and "human interaction is essential in building empathy and compassion", a life skill that she believes is imperative to promote and preserve in our teens.
Face Off: do Hong Kong kids spend too much time on social media?
"They don't miss out if they're not connected via social media, but they will miss out on life if they don't stay connected with real life humans," she says.
Sellery would agree. By staying predominately offline, she says she was forced to evaluate her priorities and which relationships were most important to her.
"I feel lots of people add 'friends' without a second thought, and you are bombarded by updates about people you don't really know or care about. By not having social media, I have to make sure I stay in touch with the people that mean the most to me and put in an effort to involve them in my life."
And significantly, Sellery doesn't think she's missing out "because, if there is something I do want to go to, be a part of or see, I can gain access to it in another way, and not having social media does not hinder my ability to do that".
Sellery and Zaidi are keenly aware of the danger of cyberbullying.
"It can be extremely easy to bully someone from behind a screen, because you feel you are not dealing with a real person and can write things down that you would probably not say to someone if you saw them face to face," Zaidi says.
Limiting your Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat use can lower depression and loneliness
Consider the damage online trolls can do. Sellery recalls incidents of cyberbullying at school, where people used social media to share their thoughts about others: who the "hottest girls and guys" were, or who were the smartest.
She is aware of passive-aggressive posts on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter addressing "unnamed" people that were obvious to everyone else.
By not being online, she says, she is "protected from the discomfort and heartbreak of people talking about you or issues you may have had with them".
After the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Mark Zuckerberg needs to show us the social media giant will change
Sellery doesn't believe opting out of having an online presence means missing out. On the contrary, she feels "protected from feeling like I am not as involved as other people because I have no way of seeing it".
She stays in touch by calling friends, texting them. She isn't bullied, and doesn't feel blue because friends' lives look shinier than her own.
"At the end of the day, the only person I compare myself to is me. I am living my life for me and I'm happy," she says.

Sponsored males:
Many males would like to join our group and attend our events without a female partner.
But before doing so, they want to know the female to male ratio.
They want to know the ages of those who will be attending and of course
they would want all the females to be of normal height & weight.
We can understand their concerns. The couples and single female swingers share the same concerns.
The problem is, I never know who will be attending the party you choose to attend.
I also can not promise a sexual experience with the person you find attractive.
Everyone has the right to say, " no thanks."
Single or married males swing alone, all have posted profiles on the various contact boards.
None claim to be a virgin. They claim to be swingers and have participated with single females
and some couples. Some express they can 'party' all night and list the sexual things they 'love to do.'
If that is the case, then I am sure they can get at least one current female friend to sponsor
them into our group.

Another year?
Another chance to set new goals and aspirations for the next chunk of time ahead of us?
New Year, New You?
I don't know when it became normal to start setting goals, targets, resolutions (whatever you want to call them) in January, but part of me likes it, and part of me doesn't. As someone who struggles with perfectionism, setting goals I know I may not keep felt as if I was setting myself up for failure. That said; I've come to realise that there's more to life than a checklist, or finding my self-worth in ticked boxes or letters on a piece of paper – and so when it comes down to it, goals can be a really good way of re-focusing.
"There's more to life than a checklist, or finding my self-worth in ticked boxes."
And so that's the approach I tried to take last year – and will be doing so again now. They may be sentences, or statements, some with clearly defined objectives, others maybe not so. Either way – there's a way to take stock, re-evaluate where I'm at and what season I'm in, and give some direction to where I want to take this year. Ultimately though, I'm not in control – God is. He could take this year in directions I'm totally not expecting – and so if I'm seeking Him, rather than my own goals – I'm more likely to be able to cling on if (or when) things get rocky.
A Season of Change
Last year I set out with Proverbs 3:5-6 as my motto and life truth. Learning how to trust God – in all circumstances, is a lifelong lesson, but it was good to make a start in making that a priority no matter where I was.
This year, or at least for the time being, I feel as if I'm in a season of change. A time where God is at work; and while I don't quite know what He's up to, I know things may be looking different. And that's why, I'm choosing this verse for the time being. It's something that feels right – and relevant, and is important to remember.
"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:19
Sometimes, knowing that God's up to something and not knowing what it is, is hard, and requires us to trust fully in knowing that His plans for us are good. While I may not know what's going on, or be in control, I'm being challenged in surrender, each and every day.
2019 Goals
- Seek JOY. Joy in all circumstances; and not get it confused with happiness. Cling to Nehemiah 8:10 that says "Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength."
- Read the Bible more – make it like picking up any other book; that's how normal I'd love for it to be.
- Invest more in people. In friends, but also in those who sometimes I miss. For the people who we say "we should get coffee sometime" – I want to actually follow through with that.
- Discover where my identity lies – (in God) – and reach a point where that becomes second nature. I long to be secure and held in His promises for my life.
- Remember how to rest – and that it's okay to say 'no'.
- Equally, I want to be more willing to say 'yes' to things that would otherwise terrify me.
- Drink more tea.
- Learn how to surrender.
- Give thanks more – for all things.
- Continue to explore and settle at university – while rediscovering my love for studying and academics.
- Navigate the balance of study and life without getting too stressed.
- Learn how to be a witness in ALL aspects of life; including academics.
- Find more courage to talk more in tutorials (and not feel over-shadowed or inadequate)
- Prioritise blogging in amongst all other aspects of life at university – because it's important.
- Seek God in how I use this platform – ultimately I want to glorify Him through my words.
- Learn SEO and what it means (yes, I didn't touch this at all last year)
- Stay true to my tag line; reflect.explore.inspire – making sure that in all I do, it is holding to one of those.
Ultimately – I don't want to underestimate what God can do; because I know He uses ALL things. If I'm trying to seek Him in all areas of my life, I know that I'll soon see changes.
"But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31
I'm dedicating 2019 to the Lord and laying it down in His hands.
Here's to seeing where He takes me (and you, if you'll come along for the ride!)

Jafer needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 114 designs submitted by 34 freelance designers.
Macatawa Park Cottager's Association
We are a small homeowner's association located just outside of Holland, MI. We are interested in improving our website and user experience to make it easier and more visually appealing for our owners and renters to find information on the site, and communicate as a community.
I'd like the updated website to be cleaner, more open with more white space, easier to use, and more visually appealing.
I would like to redesign the home page and from there potentially 1-2 interior pages. The information on the http://www.macatawapark.com will essentially be the same. We will likely add to the dropdowns.
I would like the color scheme to be anchored in a green, however, more lively green than the current site, similar to the AerLingus green. The designers should then choose 1-2 accent colors to work off of the green.
I will provide photographs. I would like the designers to work on an improved layout and refreshed color palette.

For urban students interested in college, tuition can be a major barrier. So when it was announced recently that the Birmingham Promise would offer a full tuition scholarship to the University of Alabama at Birmingham, many praised the partnership as a way to give eligible Birmingham graduates a much-needed financial boost. But there's just one problem: most students aren't eligible to apply for the scholarship. Read more.
Despite some concerns of excessive spending, the Birmingham City Council voted Tuesday to send up to 297 neighborhood representatives — up to three from each of the city's 99 neighborhoods — to this May's Neighborhoods USA Conference in Little Rock, Arkansas. Read more.
Alabama faces a shortage of 200,000 highly skilled workers to fulfill industry job predictions by 2025 unless it aligns workforce development programs and collaborations between business and education with what employers will need, said the Business Education Alliance in a report released today.
As Alabama shifts away from an industrial-based to knowledge-based economy, the BEA report stated, 60% of the working population will need to attain college-level degrees or credentials to qualify for jobs in 2025. Data for 2017 showed that 43% of the Alabama workforce possessed a college degree or other post-secondary education. Read more.
The most efficient way to combat climate change is to make fossil fuel use more expensive, an International Monetary Fund study found last October. The IMF also said sending the money from a tax or fee on coal and oil straight to citizens would blunt the economic disruption of that strategy. Read more.
McClintock, Hammett, Others Set for Feb. 8 Event on Climate Solutions
Environmental groups in Alabama and elsewhere say they will fight to delay or stop a new federal rule that would remove the 1972 Clean Water Act's oversight of half the nation's wetlands and many small streams. The new rule greatly narrows the Obama-era definition of what constitutes waters of the U.S., commonly called WOTUS.
The rule — called the Navigable Waters Protection Rule — was announced today by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler at a homebuilders meeting in Las Vegas. Real estate and farm interests have been major proponents of replacing WOTUS, which the Trump Administration repealed last fall. The new rule is scheduled to be implemented in 60 days, following publication in the Federal Register. Read more.
Officials from the Alabama Department of Corrections and the Bureau of Pardons and Paroles presented their budget proposals to lawmakers Thursday ahead of the upcoming legislative session.
ADOC Commissioner Jeff Dunn requested a $42 million increase, bringing the agency's total General Fund budget to $563 million. Dunn said much of the additional money will be used to recruit 700 more security staff, increase funding for inmate healthcare and hire about 100 mental healthcare professionals. Read more.
The Birmingham City Council voted Tuesday to reallocate money from a completed capital project at the Birmingham CrossPlex to citywide road repaving, rebuffing the protests of District 8 Councilor Steven Hoyt, who called the proposal "unfair."
The $468,532.78 in question was left over from the construction of detention ponds, fountains, a walking trail and fencing at the CrossPlex; that money will be added to a $6.7 million repaving project the council approved in December. Last week, city engineer Mike Eddington told the council that the project was completed two years ago, and the money has sat untouched in that project's fund since then.
Hoyt attempted to delay a vote on the reallocation by several weeks, arguing that funding should not be taken away from the still-developing CrossPlex. "Ain't nothing complete out there, and you all know that," he said. Read more.
As the sun rises on a workday in downtown Birmingham, the human population in the city's center typically includes a small group: first responders, cooks, cleaners, security guards, the homeless and those seeking to get some quiet time in the office before their colleagues arrive.
During the past two years, that early morning population also frequently has included a woman walking slowly and looking closely at the sidewalks, plazas and lawns outside glass-fronted buildings. Sometimes — as much as 20 times on the morning of Oct. 13 — she would pause, kneel, remove a small brown paper sack from her shoulder bag and carefully place inside it the carcass of a dead bird, usually one that had been migrating through town.
Her name is Jessie Griswold. She is the lead animal care professional at the Birmingham Zoo's Animal Health Center. She also is an unabashed "bird nerd." She recently concluded work on a research grant — the only type of its kind recently done in the state — to bring to local light a problem that has afflicted Birmingham and other metropolitan areas around the country.
The problem? Bird deaths from window collisions. Read more.
Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin and District 8 Councilor Steven Hoyt clashed Tuesday over a proposed grant that would fund five new murals in Five Points West, in addition to several other programs,
The argument resulted in a two-week delay and threats from Woodfin to scuttle the grant entirely.
The grant, part of Woodfin's Bold — Building Opportunities for Lasting Development — program, would give the Five Points West/Crossplex Business Alliance $26,500 to provide a variety of services, including training, talent and recruitment programs for local businesses, a new business office for meetings and training to be developed in tandem with Main Street Alabama, façade and signage improvements for small businesses and the collection of data "regarding all businesses and commercial properties in the Five Points West Commercial Corridor."
But Hoyt, who had called for the item to be delayed when it appeared before the council last month, took issue with one clause in the proposed grant requiring the business alliance to develop five murals in the Five Points West business district. Read more.
The U.S. Senate should conduct a "full, fair and complete" trial of President Donald Trump that includes the testimony of witnesses and the presence of the president's lawyers to question them, U.S. Sen. Doug Jones said Thursday.
"I have said consistently that I believe the American people deserve a full, fair and complete trial," Jones said. "Justice that is fair and impartial requires witnesses, documents and the pursuit of truth over everything else. It appears that we may not be headed for a trial with witnesses."
During his weekly telephone news conference with Alabama reporters, the freshman Democrat said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has announced rules that would allow presentation of evidence and questions from senators before taking up the question of whether witnesses will be allowed.

Alabama's senators split along party lines on votes involving President Trump's impeachment last week, as did all the senators. The House was in recess.

John Henry twice said his goodbyes on Thursday – first at his final meeting of the Jefferson County Commission and then at a farewell event in his honor later in the afternoon.
But the final wave goodbye for the county's chief financial officer will likely be his input in a tabled matter concerning the proposal to add a 1% convenience fee of no less than $1.95 to over-the-counter business conducted by credit or debit card with Jefferson County.
Henry suggested that commissioners table the matter for two weeks so he and Revenue Director Travis Hulsey can find an answer to a revenue department budget shortfall because of the increasing use of credit and debit cards.
"We definitely understand the concerns in reference to the hit to constituents," the outgoing CFO said. Read more.
Jefferson County Commissioner Joe Knight offered a predictable straight line after Caroline Brown was introduced as Jefferson County's new human resource director at Tuesday's commission committee meeting.
"Can you get us a good deal on a Toyota?" Knight asked, referring to her long tenure with the automaker.
"Not anymore," the Montgomery native said as the boardroom burst into laughter. "Not anymore."
While Brown can't provide the hook-up for a fleet of motor vehicles, county manager Tony Petelos calls her "the missing link" in the county's efforts to escape from the consent decree on personnel practices with which it has dealt for nearly 40 years. Read More
Not long ago, more than 66 million pain pills flowed through Walker County, a rural area 15 miles northwest of Birmingham.
Today, the children of those who struggled with addiction still feel the effects, and people in the county are forging a new path to help rebuild families. Read more.

The due diligence phase of Jefferson County's move toward a health care authority was fraught with misinformation, including the rumor that current employees were going to be let go.
"The staff there is doing such a great job, but we need more," said David Randall, president of the Cooper Green Mercy Health Services Authority. "I think the initial panic was, 'We're going to get fired.'"
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
"No, please stay because we need you," said Randall, a senior vice president of strategic planning and business development at UAB. "I think if anything there was a gap in that we need to add more individuals. (Cooper Green staffers are) doing a great job, lifting a heavy load with the staff that they have. I mean amazing."
Leaders from UAB and Jefferson County met with media Wednesday to provide an update on the move toward a university health care authority, including trying to dispel misinformation about the action.
County manager Tony Petelos repeated his point that the county is not getting out of the business of health care for its poor population. Rather, he said, the day-to-day operation of the hospital-turned-clinic is being handed over to medical professionals who are better suited for the task. Read more.

Phone: 301.712.9015, x1022
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
About Pam McDonald, LCSW-C
Pam is a licensed clinical social worker in private practice in Frederick, Maryland. She received her Master of Social Work degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and holds current licenses in Maryland and Virginia to practice psychotherapy. While earning her MSW degree, she was awarded a Phi Kappa Phi scholarship and graduated as a member of the Alpha Phi honors society. Pam has worked in non-profit agency and private practice settings providing individual, child, family, and group therapy to a variety of clients.
Pam brings diverse professional experience to her psychotherapy practice—she has been an entrepreneur, program manager, grant writer, and director of a non-profit. Her passion through all of these different roles has been to serve humanity and to empower the people she has worked with to be their best. She is also a long-time meditator and a firm believer in the transformative power of knowing your own Self through a meditative practice.
In addition to her psychotherapy services, Pam is available as a public speaker and can facilitate workshops in her specialty areas listed below.
Pam is experienced in the following therapeutic approaches:
My Approach
I provide individual, couples, and group therapy for teens and adults at my private practice located within the Healing Circles Wellness Center in Frederick, Maryland. I have a passion for working with my clients to assist them in their healing journey and help them reach their goals for a more fulfilling and authentic life.
My goal as a therapist is to create an open-hearted space where you can feel safe and understood so that you can explore life's challenges and grow and move forward in the direction of your dreams. I will assist you in integrating your existing strengths with new skills that will help you to move forward with your life with greater self-understanding, acceptance, and renewed energy. My approach is gentle and deep—so you can comfortably trust the therapy process but also get to the roots of old beliefs and patterns, allowing for lasting change.
I use many different "tools" to help you succeed in therapy. I have a strong understanding of how our thinking affects our brain development and will help you with practices that promote higher brain functioning. If you find that you reach deeper understanding of yourself through art or journaling, I am happy to use those modes of therapy as well.
Many clients who begin therapy arrive with a tough layer of harsh judgments about themselves and their issues. This is often the place where I begin the therapy—to start to encourage loving kindness to all the parts of yourself. You will learn to practice self-acceptance, compassion, and awareness so that you can relax into an open, self-loving space from which true healing and wholeness can emerge.
It's time to stop the cycle of negative self-judgment. It's time to learn to be kind to your Self.
It's time to stop resisting and to start accepting all the pain and hurt and fears that you carry within you—so that you can move forward with your life.
You do not need to do this alone. I am here to help you on your journey towards wholeness.
Let's begin together to create the life that is waiting for you…Call me today.
"Let us partner together to uncover the limiting thoughts and behaviors that are keeping you from living your life fully. I teach relaxation and meditative techniques to help you access your inner wisdom and creativity to create positive, sustainable change. From this self-knowledge, it becomes easier for you to break old patterns, dispel false beliefs, and choose your authentic life path".
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
Some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
-Rumi (From Barks, C. (Tr.) (1995). The guest house. The Essential Rumi, p. 109. New York: Harper Collins Publishers.)

Hey friends,
Today's the day…I'm finally ready to unveil the cover of Colony One.
This one took Slobodan and I a long time to work out because I had to decide how to best convey the story I was trying to tell. We played with putting people on the cover, not putting people on the cover, and finally settled on a view of the EPIC space colony.
Even if you're not typically a "general" sci-fi reader, you're going to fall in love with Colony One. It stars Maggie, a gutsy young journalist who's struggling to make it in a world dominated by algorithms and robots, and Jonah, a disgraced ex-Army special forces guy with a chip on his shoulder and one last chance to make it in his career.
These two are strangers from opposite coasts, but their worlds collide when they're sent to live on the first-ever civilian space colony. Mind-bending future technology, conspiracy, deception, sexual tension — this book has all the things you've come to expect from my books. It's more like The Fringe than Lawless, so if you're hungry for something like that, you're going to devour this series.
Get Colony One Early
One more thing: If you LOVE my stories and want to get this one early, don't forget to subscribe to my books on Patreon. You only have until Tuesday, April 17! Here's why you should:
- You only pay when I release a new book. Never miss a new release again.
- You get cool bonuses. For Colony One, I'm giving my Patreon people three free short stories.
- You get the book early (usually about a week before it goes live on Amazon).
- You get the book in any format you want. (Read on an iPad or Nook? No problem. BookFunnel supports those, too. Plus, you own the book. You're not "borrowing" it from Kindle Unlimited.)
- You get to support me directly. I pocket about 90% of the profits generated by Patreon (rather than the 35-70% I keep from Amazon).
I've created several different tiers on Patreon so you can get exactly what you want:
- $1 – Short stories ONLY (no e-book)
- $4 – E-book (delivered via BookFunnel April 18), short stories, plus any other digital bonuses I come up with.
- $25 – SIGNED PRINT COPY (delivered via snail mail a few weeks after the digital launch), e-book (delivered via BookFunnel April 18), short stories and digital bonuses. This option is only available in the U.S., but there is an international fan tier above this one.
You can cancel or change your pledge at any time. You just have to sign up by April 17 to get Colony One. Otherwise, you'll have to buy it on Amazon with everyone else on April 24.
Questions? Head over to my page to read more about Patreon. You can also shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Happy reading!

Angelina and Brad's recent nuptials in an ever fabulous fashion – secretly & in France – inspired me to re read the Elle cover story from June. As I was reading, I couldn't help but think how much I truly admire the way Angelina speaks about her relationship with Brad. To reiterate what Angelina said in the page above: It is extremely rare; rare in Hollywood as most would say, but rare for people in general if you ask me. I think their love is something to be emulated.
On a lighter note and while we are on the subject of things I admire, lets go ahead and mention the flawless way Hedi Slimane, creative director at YSL, photographed Angelina for this shoot. Very real, very Angelina, and very I want to hang these photographs all over my room.

I've just made bread using almost no flour at all – that's too good not to share!
I had some leftover pinto beans and I had heard from a friend some time ago that you can make a bean cake without flour. So I thought – why not bean bread? I try not to eat flour at the moment, and I almost always bake my bread myself as I dont eat yeast either.
It turned out pretty good! And I dont even think you need the tiny bit of flour that I put in – I'll make a 2nd attempt soon – meanwhile here's the recipe part 1:
100 grams of pinto beans – soaked over night and boiled for 1,5 hours (you can use other kinds of beans too)
100 grams whole spelt
150 grams oats
50 grams quinoa
50 grams flax seed
50 grams of whole grain spelt flour
2 teaspoons himalaya Salt
50 ml Sunflower oil
1 teaspoon baking soda
Cover the flax seed with water and leave for 10-15 mins – this will help everything stick together as flax seed can substitute eggs in most recipes. You can also ground it in a coffee grinder and mix with water for a more smooth mixture. This is good for making pancakes.
Cover spelt and quinoa with boiling water and leave for 10-15 mins
Blend the pinto breans with 200 ml water.
Combine all the ingredients – the consistency should be like very thick pancake batter – if to watery add a bit more oats – if too firm add some water. Spead thinly onto a baking sheet and use a pizza cutter to mark the size of the individual (flat)breads. They should not seperate at this point. Bake at 220 degrees for 20-25 minutes. They should be soft in the middle but hard on the outside. Leave to cool.
Tip: You can use all kinds of seeds – you may even put in shredded carrot or zucchini to make them even more healthy.
You now have some bread that is very good for you – use it with some of my spreads and cucumber. They are also very good with pesto and avocado.
But remember all with moderation. Too much bread – even without white flour, sugar and yeast – will clog you up and make you bloated.
