There are many reasons to STOP PRAYING for them, genuine, just reasons. Ones that anyone would understand. Primarily, they don't really think that its useful…and besides, why would Almighty God even stop to listen to someone of whom they think so little, as they do you? I mean, they have it more together. What could you possibly have to tell God on their behalf, that they would not do better on their own – or at least someone else they think is more suitable? They may cause you great harm even to stop you from praying…and gather enough around them to make them feel right about doing so.
God has given me many reasons why I should CONTINUE PRAYING for them. Its not for their applause really…never has been about that. But more about His intent…His True Heart…"For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:17 NKJV and "The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance." 2 Peter 2:9 AMP. It got me thinking, that when I want anything else for someone God created, am desiring contrary to Him…and what does that make me if not an anti-Christ? Hmmm
So this morning He gave me, reminded me, of one more reason to pray for…my family, my friends,, my neighbors, my country, my world, my employer, my colleagues, and yes, even the ones who hate me so much, they would not want me mentioning their names lovingly before God. If I don't, if I am the only one able to, or even willing to and I don't, and anything happens to them that could have been prevented by my praying…heavy responsibility…but in His own words…" "I looked for someone to stand up for Me against all this, to repair the defenses of the city, to take a stand for Me and stand in the gap to protect this land so I wouldn't have to destroy it. I couldn't find anyone. Not one. So I'll empty out My wrath on them, burn them to a crisp with My hot anger, serve them with the consequences of all they've done. Decree of God, the Master."
Ezekiel 22:31-32 The Message (MSG)

Sometimes, the devil throws stuff at you, but God allows you to walk on through to a lovely day. It may be a puncture, a broken heart, a betrayal or two by a friend, financial challenges, an illness, ministry, or work challenges, an eviction, a death – varying degrees of pain and discomfort; it does not have to be fixed the way you desire it to be. But you run to Him, cling on Him, realizing your need of Him…keep your toes and heels level as best as you can, your hand in His and keep walking. Its not yet over, until God says it is.
A broken heel, should never prevent you from getting home…and when you do, in spite of it, you realize that those broken heel days, are actually miracles in the making. I did.
`Thus says The LORD to Cyrus His anointed, Whom I have taken by the right hand, To subdue nations before him And to loose the loins of kings; To open doors before him so that gates will not be shut: "I will go before you and make the rough places smooth; I will shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron bars. "I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden wealth of secret places, So that you may know that it is I, The LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.`
Isaiah 45:1-3

This morning, I was trying to get from one end of Nairobi, to another, using a short-cut – which sometimes, as in this case, refers to an un-finished road branching away from the main tarmac road that presumably has all the traffic. I noticed that the car in front of us had sped on and we kept catching up with the dust it left in its wake. I could not see the one behind me, but one must have been there, at a distant, catching up with 'our' dust. And then there were the vehicles on the opposite lane…with their dust. Most times, from my vantage point on the back seat, I could not see the way ahead. The driver was calm, I was not. He gently reassured me that nothing bad would happen to us, that was not meant to happen, as he could see the road ahead.
It struck me then, that life's like that. Especially when you take the road less traveled; there is usually someone who did it before, and sometimes…they blow 'dust' on your face. Then there are those who are travelling the opposite direction – these also affect your progress, by the amount of dust they may blow on your line of vision. It all depends on WHO is behind the wheel of your life, how well they know the road you are on, and your comfort at any one time on your ability to trust them to get you 'there' safely.
Like Job of old I declare today, that "But He knows the way that I take [He has concern for it, appreciates, and pays attention to it]. When He has tried me, I shall come forth as refined gold [pure and luminous]. My foot has held fast to His steps; His ways have I kept and not turned aside." 23:10-11
and I adopted Carrie Underwood's prayer " Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
'Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Just save me from this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel"

It had been a hard day. I had been to a service in my old church. A funeral service. That was hard.
I looked around and recognised familiar, much loved faces. Some pointedly ignored me. I mused about that for about two seconds and then the business that had brought me here, took over. To stand with a friend who had been widowed. There were many people around; I was grateful to God that she had these. But I took my place on my knees as it were, though still seated and prayed. It was a hard service. Beautiful for all the love that was shared…and yet really hard. But that is not what this day was for me.
This day, was not a particular 24 hour circuit, but something that had weighed me down for a while. Something only this place could bring out for me. I sat next to my sweetheart, and it was not difficult to see, how shabby we were compared to everyone else. When time came to give, and we were urged to give generously, he took out a 200 shilling note, and held it openly. I knew how much he had in his pocket. And it was not a whole lot more. I whispered to him that it was not proper for anyone to see what we were giving. And he bundled our note in his hand, and then when the basket passed in front of him, he put in the note. I noticed that his laces were too short and kept coming undone, his socks sagging and loud, and that my own shoes were peeling and a little bit muddy at the heel. Thought about it for a second, and then went back into the reason I was there.
After the service, we were to line up to view the body and condole with the family. The line was long so we, my sweetheart and I stood aside for a while, then he melted away. I went to the couple who had been our ride from home and thanked the husband, saying we would find our way home. I was already feeling faint. He smiled and said it was okay. Then I decided to walk over to the other side of the line, and say hello to some old and much loved friends. I was well received. Hugs, laughter even in this place. And that was nice. But again, that sense of being alone came up. And I looked around but could not find my sweetheart. I stepped into line and an old friend chatted me up before another got hold of his attention and he left the line. I was joined by another who walked with me till body, talking as we went. Then I stood by the casket. And I looked in. And I couldn't move, and I couldn't cry. I just stood there, perhaps longer than appropriate. And then my feet began to move. I went to my friend, she was worn out from weeping. And I held her awhile. I was not sure she recognised me but I thought I heard her whisper my name. I had no words…no words for this place. But I prayed…God…Your Strength, Comfort, Presence…and then I walked away.
I felt like someone had blown away the back of my head. I clutched onto some chairs to pray for stability, not willing to draw any attention to myself. I reminded God, as though He could ever forget, that I was not going back…my own resurrection was for a purpose. Then I looked into my purse, found my phone and called my sweetheart. He was outside, had made some friends. I stood a while and listened to another old friend, widowed, who had survived a stroke after her own husband's passing. Hugged her and then went out to join my sweetheart. We walked away, as he talked to me, he was as moved as I had been, but he kept his conversation light and easy. Walking with him, I was home.
We went to our physical home, where we live with our children. And I looked around. We did not have money for food that day. Much of what we needed had run out. Including tissue, since I had suffered severe food poisoning that week. We had had not money for my medication. My sweetheart hid a cough, and I prayed. 'God heal him, please.' I sent a text to a friend to ask if she had boiled some beans and she told me to meet her at her place. I told her I would send, Leroy, my son. Oh I had passed by the bank that day, and my balance was still at 0.1/-. It was my pastor's 10th Wedding Anniversary, and I wanted to surprise them with a gift. Sigh.
I went to bed and at 3:30am, I woke up to go to the bathroom. Unstable. Feeling funny. I came back and picked my phone again. 3:33. Three threes. God, God, God. Call unto Me. I called. Jesus. My sweetheart shuffled in the bed beside me. Jesus I called again. Then, and I will tell you marvelous things. I am listening LORD.
What is it about my old church that unnerves me? Weighs me down, It is situated at my old campus, and symbolises all my broken dreams. Both of Career, and Ministry. It is at the site of my primary school. Most of those I know, who went through these paths, succeeded in them. At their Careers and Ministries. Even as I went through those roads, I must have always known, that I piece from another jig-saw puzzle that had somehow found itself inside this box. And no matter how much I tried, I would never fit into this pattern. I was a failure because this was not my world, this was not home.
My mind went to my family. Children born 'out of pattern.' A husband married 'out of pattern.' Not in conformity with most other lives. Not the lives I had dreamed mine would be like. I looked in my mind's eye at my Bible Study Group, our pre-marital class, these had become my inner circle of friends. Some were still trying to fit into a world that may eventually receive them. That was their portion. I had failed in that respect. For the first time, I was grateful for the much loved 'friends' and 'well-wishers' that had slandered me mercilessly, because they would not help, and could not stand seeing anyone help me survive, even the world that I had been pushed into, that they had no wish to live in. A wilderness. And even there they had pursued me. Loving God thoroughly, hating me and mine in spite of themselves. Inadvertently, coveting even the fact that God refused to remove His Breath from me and mine, so that their discussions of me would be justified in my death. I was grateful, they were right. I was dead to their world. I was like a ghost, who would visit from time to time; sent and on an errand, making all and sundry really uncomfortable, but belonging to a world that could not be patterned by their standards.
I did not live by those standards. I did not want to. I came to the realisation, that the thing that stressed me most, was that I was expected to live up to a standard that most were still trying to master and understand, and made them desperately unhappy; for they were trying to justify their living, and validity, by things they could not take away. My world was not superior, I had needed them. Their validation, their assistance…at one point at least. They had closed their hearts and hands to me…because they were unable to open these. God had closed those doors. They, like myself, did not understand what I was made for. Besides they were busy understanding their own purposes…and their silences, pointed snubs and putdowns, excruciating to me, were justified because they could not hold the spin of my patterning, as they were too busy figuring out their own. I was from another world. Living according to another pattern. And that other world, in that place that God Himself had put me and mine, He had provided all that I needed, in terms of love, sustenance, and yes, my resurrection and success, according to His, my Manufacturer's Pattern of who He made me to be. And that is all I was ever meant to be. Strange. Peculiar. Bigger than I ever thought I could be. And He had enough Might in Him, to raise and validate me. Talk about Marvelous things…I rest.

While most of us like to take down the Christmas tree shortly after the new year, there's nothing worse than a tree that's browning or losing needles like crazy by Boxing Day. Having to take down your tree, facing the reality that the holidays are over and coming to terms with the inevitably of returning back to work is depressing enough, but imagine having to place all those ornaments back in their boxes a week early because your tree just didn't last? Well, don't fret, here are seven easy ways to keep your tree — and your spirits — bright and healthy until 2018.
1. Buy the freshest tree you can
If possible, cut down your own tree. That way you know it's fresh, you know where it came from and how long ago it was cut. If you can't or simply don't want to go to a tree farm and do the work yourself, carefully inspect your tree before buying. Don't buy a tree with needles that are already brown in places. That is not a fresh tree. Needles should also be pliable, not brittle or dry. Also, ask where the tree came from and when it was cut. While we can't promise that the seller will be 100 per cent honest, you'll at least get an idea of how fresh your tree is.
2. Cover your tree on the way home
Throw a tarp in the car just in case the tree farm or seller doesn't provide wrapping for your tree. You'll either strap your new tree to the roof of your car or stuff it into your trunk (with most of it sticking out quite a bit), so it'll be exposed to the cold wind and snow, which can dry out those needles fast. Protect your tree until it's home.
3. Cut the stem
If you buy a pre-cut tree, either have the seller cut an inch to an inch and half off the bottom or do it yourself at home. Once a tree is cut, the sap will try to seal up the cut, making it difficult for your tree to absorb water and stay fresh.
4. Keep it hydrated
Even if you aren't ready to set up your tree right away, place it in a bucket of water and keep the stem covered at all times. If it's going into its stand, make sure the base holds at least two litres of water and refill it daily. Don't add sugar or aspirin or vodka to the water. None of those tricks work to lengthen the life of your tree. Just plain water is fine.
5. Keep it cool
Don't place your tree near heating vents or big, sunny windows as these will only dry the tree out more. While you may have your heart set on a tree right next to your cozy fireplace so you can gaze at both the roaring fire and your twinkling lights, this is not only bad for your tree but potentially dangerous because the tree is flammable, even when watered regularly. Choose a nice, cool place for your tree that will help it look its best for as long as possible.
6. Change up your lights
Consider switching your old Christmas lights to LED lights, which give off almost no heat at all. Older lights can give off heat and will dry out your tree and its needles sooner than LED lights.
7. Turn up the humidity
Besides watering daily, try running a humidifier in the room where your tree is. It might sound ridiculous but if you've used one before, you know how much healthier your skin looks in the winter when you have your humidifier running. It can do the same thing for your tree, making it look fresher and stay fresher longer.

About physical matter
Not only I have no experience in Tai-chi, but also not really good at any sports. Will it be OK for me to join your class?
No problem at all! We teach you from the basic step, and you will progress easily.
I heard that it is good for anti-aging, is that true?
Yes, it is. Tai-chi is practiced not only in China, but all over the world as the ancient Chinese technique for long life and good health. If you practice, even men of 90 or 100 year-old look very healthy and have no problem to move. In Japan, there are 1million practitioners of Tai-chi, 70% woman, and 30% men.
Is there any age limitation?
Can I join the lesson even I am injured?
If you feel uncomfortable and uneasy, please consult your home doctor.
I have some terrifying image on Chinese martial arts….Do we do some combats during the lesson?
No, not at all. People tend to imagine the Chinese martial arts like the kungfu fighting movies. But in WIMA, we never do combats, so please don't worry.
Can we practice even during pregnancy?
Basically yes. If you feel uncomfortable or uneasiness, please refer to your home doctor.
About the School organization
Is there any connection with a particular religion?
No, not at all. Basically, the Tai-chi philosophy is based on Taoism, yet there is no religious aspect in the actual practice.
I cannot come regularly to the lessons, is that OK?
No problem at all. You can come whenever you want.
In which language are the lessons provided in?
The lessons are taught mainly in Japanese, but English and French are available on request.
Can I use the Trial Lesson System twice?
No, we are very sorry. The Trial Lesson System is one time per person.
Is there any recess system for the membership?
If you cannot come for a while, there is no need to do any procedure.
What do I do if I want to quit the lessons?
Just send an e-mail when you are leaving. You can come back whenever you want.

Pension schemes face a multitude of new regulations and guidelines
Key points
• Investors and pension managers face a huge number of new rules and guidelines from domestic and overseas regulators.
• Several of these could be hampered by a weak government with priorities other than financial reform.
• UK schemes will also have to grapple with more pan-European regulations.
The UK faces a raft of reform in occupational pensions. These measures are summarised here.
1. The Asset Management Market Study (AMMS). This wide-ranging report, published by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in June, has huge ramifications for most aspects of pensions and investment management.
Investment consultants seem set to be referred to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), the government's anti-trust body. The regulator's board is due to make the final decision this month, but with strong support from pension funds (and even some consultants) it is likely to proceed.
Large consultants that also offer fiduciary management services will come under further scrutiny, given the conflicts of interest involved. The CMA is also likely to investigate whether pension schemes should be required to review their consultant relationships on a regular basis.
2. Cost transparency. The FCA's verdict on asset managers was damning: price competition was "weak", managers were failing to control costs, and economies of scale were not passed on to investors.
Prof Chris Sier of Newcastle University Business School, a long-time and vocal advocate of cost transparency, led a project with the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) to come up with a new template for disclosure. The template – also supported by the asset management trade body, the Investment Association – aims to provide clarity on all levels of investment charges. The LGPS already expects the new reporting standard to reveal costs in excess of £1bn (€1.1bn) as it is rolled out across the 89 schemes in England and Wales.
3. Senior managers and certification regime. Initially a measure aimed at improving accountability at banks, the FCA has proposed expanding this regime substantially to include all regulated firms.
This will bring into scope asset managers – including those working in-house at the largest pension schemes.
4. Security and sustainability in defined benefit pension schemes. In the wake of two high-profile cases involving defined benefit (DB) schemes – the collapse of high street chain BHS and Tata Steel 's threat to abandon its UK businesses – the government launched a detailed discussion about the future of DB regulation and protection at the start of this year.
The resulting government discussion paper covered many aspects of the extensive DB rulebook, including: how pension increases are calculated; how to facilitate scheme consolidation; and the potential wider use rules allowing schemes to be spun off from their sponsoring employer.
5. Auto-enrolment. The final phase of auto-enrolment's rollout is under way, with hundreds of thousands of the UK's smallest businesses now required to set up pension arrangements.
The government has also voiced its desire for self-employed workers to be brought into the auto-enrolment regime. On top of this, the minimum contribution (combining employee and employer payments) is due to rise to 8% by April 2019, from 2% currently.
6. The Pensions Dashboard. In an effort to improve engagement with pension saving, the industry is developing a 'dashboard' to allow workers to see all their savings in one place. The project, led by the Association of British Insurers, is still in the development stage and there are significant hurdles to negotiate.
7. Master trust regulation. The Pension Schemes Act 2017 was passed into law in April. It brings in new requirements for master trusts to ensure providers are properly authorised and have sufficient protections in place for members.
8. Post-retirement provision and pension freedoms. April 2015 saw the removal of the requirement for UK retirees to buy an annuity with their defined contribution pots. While it has freed hundreds of thousands of people from being tied in to ultra-low annuity rates, there are major question marks over the alternatives.
9. The state pension. In July, David Gauke, the newly appointed work and pensions secretary, announced that the state pension age would increase to 68 between 2037 and 2039, seven years earlier than initially planned. The government also outlined further increases that could mean the state pension age hitting 70 by 2056.
10. European regulations. In common with pension funds across Europe, UK schemes must also grapple with the implications of several continent-wide regulations.
The Institutions for Occupational Retirement Provision (IORP) directive's impact hinges on the UK's future relationship with Europe, according to the PLSA, but schemes are unlikely to escape much of the rest of the current regulatory pipeline.
The main effect of the second version of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) for asset owners will revolve around who pays for research costs – at the time of writing, most UK asset managers had yet to decide. The implications of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) could be more meaningful: the potential increased cost of derivative trading is likely to affect liability-driven investment providers.

Low blood sugar, also called hypoglycemia, means that your blood sugar is below normal levels. Why is that a problem? Blood sugar fuels your body's cells, and if those cells don't get the fuel they need, your body may not function properly. Symptoms of hypoglycemia range from feeling dizzy and confused to more extreme symptoms such as passing out or fainting. This condition is primarily a problem for people with diabetes, but with the right prevention methods, it's a problem that can easily be managed.Read More
We've all been there. Between the shopping, the cooking, and the family gatherings, how are you going to find a moment for managing diabetes? In the season of giving, it's still important that you take time for your own health and happiness.Read More
When it comes to managing diabetes, there's no such thing as being overly prepared—especially when so few of your busy days go exactly as planned. Unexpected events, from a surprise social invitation to a serious weather event, can keep you out and about longer than you'd expected. Keep a diabetes kit with you so you're always prepared with your diabetes care essentials.Read More
Cold and flu season typically gets up and running in early fall and can last until May. It can be an especially trying time for those managing diabetes since they can be more susceptible to illness. If that weren't enough, sickness tends to cause stress, and stress hormones can affect your blood sugar. Diabetes and colds don't always mix well, but they can be safely managed.Read More

I arrived tonight in Austin, TX for the America Makes Technical Review & Exchange (TRX), starting tomorrow. I'm honored to have been asked to present 3Diligent's take on the additive supply chain with the America Makes membership and selected guests. These attendees represent some of the biggest names in additive manufacturing – the thought leaders from the largest manufacturing, aerospace and medical companies in the US and a number of internationals as well – and I understand the event is sold out so really looking forward to it.
TRX events are semi-annual events where America Makes members – the leading companies in American additive manufacturing – gather to review America Makes programs and discuss key challenges facing the industry.
The topic of my presentation to the group will be key trends defining the additive supply chain today and predictions on where these trend lines will take us. With respect a view of the future, we at 3Diligent are believers that the traditional "supply chain" will actually start to break apart and eventually reassemble into a "supply web." Instead of mass produced goods flowing to end consumers in a straight line sequential order, production will take place in many places, with additive serving as an input to much later stages of distribution that has been the case for more than a century. We'll also highlight our belief that digital natives – companies that were born with additive in mind – will be key drivers in this transformation.
Last but not least, we'll highlight how companies like 3Diligent can play a valuable role in helping companies seeking to take full advantage of this paradigm shift brought about by additive and other CAD-driven technologies.
Look for additional thought pieces from 3Diligent on this topic in the future. In the meantime, here's to a great discussion at TRX…

The car began its life sometime in January of 1984 when it rolled out of the factory at Ingolstadt. On 5/1/84 the car was sold from Bill Cook Porsche+Audi of Farmington Hills, MI for $14,475. The car was bought by a Detroit man who worked for a regional power company. He later moved to Saginaw and as he worked his way up the company he decided, because he was more and more in the public's eye, to buy an American car that would be more politcally correct for an executive in an American company.
This is where I start to be involved, remotely. It's late 1992 and Peter, one of my older brothers, sees the car in a car swapper. He checks the car out and finds a happy owner who used to take care of the car but more recently has decided he should just drive it till it breaks, since he needs to buy a new American car. The odometer is at 145,000 at this point.
Peter buys the car for $1500, and takes it home to sit next to his red, 88 90Q, his second Audi. His first Audi was a black 4000Q the car which got him hooked onto Audis and Quattro. (Quattro: the reason to get hooked on Audis) As soon as Pete purchased the Coupe he replaced the alternator, the exhaust from the catalytic converter on back, and the exaust manifold studs. Later he decided to put window tinting on the top four inches of the front windows and windshield (in accordance with Michigan state law) and completely tint the rear two side windows, leaving the back window intentionally clear. He drives the coupe for 3 years before deciding to sell it to his nephew Joe (no relation to the Joe with the 98 Golf).
Joe brings the Coupe to a different style. Hoping to turn his already moderately 'cool' looking car into a really 'ghetto' car. (these are all my quotes and mostly speculation) he, in the end, was the one responsible for most of the modifications from stock. To him the car owes:
Peter begins doing his commute in the Coupe again but first he replaces:
In September of 1997 I assume ownership of the car. The cars are painted during the first week of September. Within the first few months of ownership Peter and I replace:
I drive the car every day. It starts, it runs well, it has moderate power, and most of the parts still work well. Many of the repairs for minor problems have been fixed poorly but, to quote Red Green "It's only temporary unless it works." Good car for being 15 and being driven by a bunch of loonies.
The car runs forever as the Inline 5 keeps going while the rest of the car gradually falls apart around it. I'll probably give it to one of Eric's kids in a few years, that way it will stay in the family. :-)
VIN - WAUBDO858EA072012 means, made in Germany by Audi, 2-Door Sedan Coupe, 2.1L Active restrain system, Coupe GT, 84 model year, built in Ingolstadt, production number 72,012.

I approach the Australian Bush at face value, and from inside it. There's no hidden meaning to my work. It is the Australian Bush.
My studies en plen air are ten-fold since moving to Wangaratta in Regional Victoria. I also frequent Castlemaine and to this end, many new elements of the bush have revealed themselves to me and I have tried to include them in these new scenes. First and foremost the life, sound and movement of the 'solitary' landscape. Being in it, I have witnessed bark exploding off trees after the rains to reveal fluorescent pink trunks, belting heat and bitter cold, all varieties of limb arrangements and floor scenes, and all matter of Australian wildlife. My recent works look to the Australian Bush to inform the way sticks rest off trees, their spoil. The bush floor matter and its balance against the lines of trees, weeds, disused fences that have grown back into the irregularity of the bush all interest me to no end.
I take great inspiration from Danila Vassilieff in my approach to painting and living life as an artist. His simple living equated to what seems a natural ability for him to be able to choose a scene of the Australian condition and capture it. This ethos has served me very well indeed in the digital age where distraction to the character, or the scene before me could be easily missed had I not surrounded myself in the landscape and renounced distraction. His technicalities of brushstroke and blocking of the scenes inform my decisions on how and where to sit, or what element of the days' study to paint.
In my opinion a most underappreciated figure of our country's art history, it is through his Russian eyes that I attempt to see the Australian Bush. He was an outsider who managed to look at us so poignantly. If the viewer sees the well-known Australian Greats when they consider my work, it is because both I and they were informed by same modern expressionist father figure.

Brush it all away
March 14, 2003
Michelle Martinez likes painting tranquil scenes of the tropics. You can almost hear the soothing waves crashing against the beach.
One look at Martinez's life, and it's easy to see why she likes getting lost in tropical scenes. She needs a little relaxation.
She has four kids, ages 18, 14, 12 and 8, and she is a hairstylist. She also used to make wedding cakes. And she just became a grandmother.
Martinez, 37, of La Salle, doesn't have the time to be a full-time painter, but she wouldn't mind. She's already sold two of her paintings for hundreds of dollars and would like to sell more.
She tried painting after watching Bob Ross on TV. Ross, one of the champions of public television, encourages everyone to paint. For Martinez, it was like he was talking just to her. She was 14.
She tried it, and she was pretty good, it turns out.
Recommended Stories For You
"I felt like I needed to get it out," Martinez said. "It was as if it was waiting for years to get out."
She was 28 when she went back to painting. By that time, she had a family, a job and a crazy life. It took her a year to get her confidence back up, but now she loves it. Painting gave her an escape: It's no coincidence that her scenes are places where others go to get away.
"It takes me away," she said.
Martinez also wants to develop a line of glow-in-the-dark paints and likes to do wall murals.
Mostly she just wants to be a role model for her kids and, now, her grandchild.
"I have a talent, and I'm trying to make the most of it," Martinez said. "I want my kids to see that."

Sorry but this item is currently unavailable.
Please check back at a later stage.
Brand New Sealed Pack
The extras provided on the bonus disc include:
First up, we have an interactive game, "Feeling Strong Now!" In the game, you play as Rocky and go up against his various opponents from the films in three stages: Trivia, Rumble and Eye of the Tiger. You start against Spider Rico and unlock more challengers as you progress. Trivia gives you three questions about the Rocky films and real boxing history. Your stamina goes up or down depending on whether you get the answers right. In the Rumble stage you select 5 punches to throw out of 6 possible choices, each costing different stamina. The Eye of the Tiger stage shows you clips from the special features and then asks you a question about what you saw. A correct answer will restore your stamina. If you lose it all, you get knocked down. It's a pretty long and involved game, but kind of fun for those who have the time to invest.
Next, there's a short piece with boxing trainer Lou Duva, who trains real both real boxers and actors who want to play boxers. He talks about how he got into the sport and his training philosophy. It's probably only of interest to those with a passion for boxing, but at just under 5 minutes long, it's not super in-depth. The interview with another "legend," sports writer Bert Sugar, is of more general interest. As "and advocate, but not an apologist" for the sport, he has some very interesting thoughts to share about it and the films that have used it as a dramatic canvas.

Formed in 2008, the band started performing in various gigs, playing classics from The Beatles, Doobie Brothers, Cars, among others. Then in 2010, Generation began recording their debut album of all-original songs. The members describe their brand of music as new classic rock as showcased by its distinct yet melodic compositions, like the album's carrier single "Love is Killing Me."
Star Records releases the self-titled debut album of Generation, a new rock band composed of sons of legendary Filipino recording artists. Its members include Joe and Mike Chan, sons of Jose Mari Chan, on bass and keyboards, respectively; Kowboy Santos, Sampaguita's son, on lead guitar; and Ige Gallardo, son of Celeste Legaspi, on rhythm guitar.
Generation was a Canadian current affairs television series which aired on CBC Television in 1965.
The series examined contemporary topics and concerns in the context of the generation gap. Issues such as careers, marriage, Quebec's Quiet Revolution, religion or tobacco were the subject of various episodes.
For most of its run, Generation was a local Toronto programme hosted by Lloyd Robertson. In mid-1965, it was broadcast nationally with selected local episodes supplemented by episodes produced from various regions. June Callwood, Katie Johnson and Bill McVean were additional hosts during the national broadcasts.
The half-hour series aired locally on CBLT from late 1963 until mid-1966. It was broadcast on the national CBC network Wednesdays at 10:30 p.m. (Eastern) from 4 August to 15 September 1965.
The 1837 generation (Spanish: Generación del '37) was an Argentine literary group. Influenced by the new romantic ideas, they rejected the cultural Spanish heritage of the country. They considered themselves the "sons of the May Revolution", as they were born shortly after it, and wrote some of the earliest Argentine literary works. They did not acknowledge any national roots in the indigenous peoples or the period of European colonization, focusing instead on the Revolution as the birth of the country.
The group established a literary hall in 1837, hence the name. Initially, they claimed to be neutral in the Argentine Civil Wars, but in time they wrote works biased against the federal governor Juan Manuel de Rosas (such as El Matadero by Esteban Echeverría or Facundo by Domingo Faustino Sarmiento) and became fully Unitarians.
Some notable members of this generation were Esteban Echeverría, Juan Bautista Alberdi, Miguel Cané, Bartolomé Mitre, Andrés Lamas, Antonio Somellera, Vicente Fidel López, Carlos Tejedor, Juan Bautista Peña, Florencio Varela, Juan Cruz Varela, José Mármol, José Rivera Indarte (Buenos Aires), Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, Quiroga Rosas, Antonino Aberastain, Santiago Cortínez (San Juan), Benjamín Villafañe, Félix Frías (Tucumán), Francisco Álvarez, Paulino Paz, Enrique Rodríguez, Avelino Ferreyra, Ramón Ferreyra (Córdoba), Juan Thompson (Corrientes).
Group may refer to:
A stratigraphic unit is a volume of rock of identifiable origin and relative age range that is defined by the distinctive and dominant, easily mapped and recognizable petrographic, lithologic or paleontologic features (facies) that characterize it.
Units must be mappable and distinct from one another, but the contact need not be particularly distinct. For instance, a unit may be defined by terms such as "when the sandstone component exceeds 75%".
Sequences of sedimentary and volcanic rocks are subdivided on the basis of their lithology. Going from smaller to larger in scale, the main units recognised are Bed, Member, Formation, Group and Supergroup.
A bed is a lithologically distinct layer within a member or formation and is the smallest recognisable stratigraphic unit. These are not normally named, but may be in the case of a marker horizon.
A member is a named lithologically distinct part of a formation. Not all formations are subdivided in this way and even where they are recognized, they may only form part of the formation.
The 1994 Group was a coalition of smaller research-intensive universities in the United Kingdom, founded in 1994 to defend these universities' interests following the creation of the Russell Group by larger research-intensive universities earlier that year. The 1994 Group originally represented seventeen universities, rising to nineteen, and then dropping to eleven. The Group started to falter in 2012, when a number of high performing members left to join the Russell Group. The 1994 Group ultimately dissolved in November 2013.
The group sought "to represent the views of its members on the current state and the future of higher education through discussions with the government, funding bodies, and other higher education interest groups" and "[made] its views known through its research publications and in the media".
University Alliance, million+, GuildHE and the Russell Group were its fellow university membership groups across the UK higher education sector.

In-depth understanding of employment and income earning patterns of rural people helps find ways to alleviate rural poverty in the country. This study analyses employment and income generated by seaweed harvesting activity in Fiji. The specific objectives of the research were: (i) to study the personal characteristics of the seaweed harvesters; (ii) to estimate time spent by workers in seaweed harvesting; (iii) to estimate quantity of seaweed harvested by workers; (iv) to estimate income earned by workers from seaweed harvesting activity; (v) to understand the seaweed marketing system in Fiji, and (vi) to suggest policy measures to improve income and employment opportunities of the seaweed harvesters. Accordingly, a sample of 46 seaweed harvesting households was randomly selected from four villages in the coastal areas of Fiji. In addition five seaweed vendors of Lautoka market and 10 vendors of Suva market were interviewed to understand the seaweed marketing system in the area. The study found that in 46 sampled households, 68 members were engaged in seaweed harvesting. The average family size of seaweed harvesters was six of which one-fourth members were engaged in seaweed harvesting. Sixty one percent of the households had only one seaweed harvester in the family. On the whole 82 percent of seaweed harvesters were females and 19 percent were males. About 72 percent households had female seaweed harvesters only. Majority of the workers was in the age group 30-50 years. The most predominant age group for male workers was 50-60 years and for female harvesters was below 40 years. Seventy nine percent of workers had seaweed harvesting experience of more than ten years. Though seaweed harvesting this is the main economic activity for females, male workers have more years of experience in seaweed harvesting,. The older female workers take care of children and other household affairs. Three-fourths of all the seaweed harvesters were educated up to secondary level. Since seaweed harvesting alone did not provide full time employment to seaweed workers they pursued diverse income-earning activities. About one-fourths of total seaweed workers were engaged in seaweed harvesting only and the rest were doing combination of various activities. On average, workers spent nineteen hours per week on seaweed harvesting; male workers worked for 21 hours while female workers worked for about 19 hours per week in seaweed harvesting. The number of hours devoted to seaweed harvesting has a negative relation with the educational level of the worker. It was also noticed that as the number of workers increased in the family, the average number of hours spent by the worker on seaweed harvesting declined. Overall, the quantity of vi seaweed harvested per worker was 31 kilograms per week; 32 kg by a female worker and 29 kg by a male worker. Per worker average earning from seaweed harvesting was $54 per week. The regression analysis revealed that quantity of seaweed harvested as well as the per week seaweed income of the worker have positive relationship with both their years of experience and the number of hours spent on seaweed harvesting by the workers. Seaweed marketing business is dominated by women marketing agents. While seaweed harvesters received $1.50 per kg for their produce from the middle women the consumers bought it at $7 per kg in Lautoka market and $10 per kg in Suva market. Thus, seaweed harvesters' share in the consumer's dollar was only 15 cents in Suva market and 21 cents in Lautoka market. The net profit (margin over and above the marketing costs) of the middle women in marketing of seaweeds in Lautoka and Suva markets were 58 and 63 percent, respectively. The labour cost was the main component of marketing costs of seaweeds which accounted for about two-thirds of the total marketing cost. The another major cost component was the transportation cost which accounted for 24 percent cost of marketing in Suva market and 8 percent for marketing in Lautoka market which was located near to the seaweed harvesters' villages. It is recommended that there is a need for (i) sustaining income and employment of seaweed harvesters by better management of this open-access common property marine resource, (ii) more research to help enhance production of this neglected renewable resource, and (iii) wider community-level approach involving joint action of people to manage sustainable harvesting and optimal control of seaweed harvesting activities.

Summer for a Day
The weather wasn't great last week. There was quite a bit of rain most days as far as I remember and it was chilly too. The sun did come out now and then so I managed a windsurf in the sunshine on Saturday afternoon despite the fact that the morning was pretty wet. Riding in...Read more »

The Ripple price (XRP/USD) has kept swinging between gains and losses after dropping below $0.34 on Monday.
The third-largest digital currency on the market had to endure some tough trading yesterday, as its price dropped below the $0.34 mark during the early hours of the session. Ripple tried to recoup its losses and even revisited the $0.34 level in the afternoon, but frequent price fluctuations and thin trading volumes prevented it from gaining enough positive momentum. The digital coin finished the session at $0.335, significantly lower than its opening level of $0.343.
The digital currency made another attempt to reclaim the $0.34 level in today's early trading, but its advance hit a wall at $0.338. Since then, Ripple has seen a number of minor price swings, but has remained relatively close to its Monday closing level.
Ripple's lack of momentum could be due to the coin's low market activity. Yesterday the coin generated daily trading volume on only $201 million, significantly lower than the $250 million it averaged over the weekend.
Recent market data suggests that Ripple has seen some improvement in that regard in today's trading. The data shows that some $221 million worth of XRP tokens have changed hands over the past 24 hours. Singapore-based crypto exchange Huobi retains its position as the most popular destination for Ripple trading, having captured 18.1% of that volume. European crypto exchange HitBTC ranks second with 13.4%, while Binance comes in at third place with a 11.6% share
In today's trading, the Ripple price stood at $0.339, as of 13:23 BST. The digital coin has gained 0.7% in the past 24 hours, according to data from digital currency tracker Coinmarketcap. The coin's market cap currently stands at nearly $13.5 billion.
For further information on how to buy and trade Ripple, see our comprehensive Ripple guide.

Jekyll, no Hugo
After writing pure html, I tested some bloxsom, started writing my own blog templating engine, abandoned that project for Jekyll, and recently learning about Hugo. While Jekyll served me well, its limited feature-set and Hugo's promise for some relief made me attempt a switch.
Hugo advertises taxonomies, layouts and themes with partials, content with shortcodes, and better templates supporting some simple data-driven documents. Also, "install" with zero dependencies, and speed. While a first look revealed that I more or less had to port everything by hand, it seemed easy enough.
Then reality happened. It includes quirks of my specific site and mind, quirks of technology, and then a selection of concepts that lie between somewhat questionable and maybe wrong.
Sections provide separate feeds and section-indices. Manual action is required to removed those, and manual action is required to combine those across sections. I prefer my current, semi-curated way, with customized index pages (with custom content, not custom layout); fighting Hugo to not do it's own indexes seems more effort than instructing Jekyll to create a default index page. But that's probably my status-quo thinking speaking for itself.
A quirk of technology is Hugo's datetime-handling. Hugo and Go are both underdocumented in that regard, and the interactions between Go's type system and TOMLs datetime spec result in little surprises even for a programmer. The break from preexisting convention is sane, but results in subtle issues that I'd like to have had a reminder; the prime examples being that all datetimes must be specified either only as date (e.g. 2015-12-31) or down to the second. But whatever. Now I know to use 2016-01-03T15:12:31Z (see, seconds!). One time issue. Mission accomplished.
Another quirk of, uncharitably saying, the "Go mindset" is that many template functions are not designed for piping.
Using pipes in templates (like
"myvalue" | someFunction with 3 baseArgs | otherFunction) requires that the argument order for functions is specified such that the "work item" argument is the last one.
Even stuff like Hugo's string-replace does not work like that.
When writing F# but using C# libraries such issues crop up all the time.
Just use one more pair of parentheses.
Mission accomplished.
Slightly more questionable, though workable, is that a section also declares a default type. Every page you write in Hugo has a type, by default its type is of the same name as the section it resides in, mixing content hierarchy with article type. While I can see this working well for some use cases, it fails the orthogonality test. Hierarchy across several media types is an "off" case needing configuration, and the same layout across several sections requires either repeating partial includes or content type specifications; both trivial but commonplace papercuts. Of course, this just happens to run counter to how I organized my pages.
But whatever. This complicates layout search paths, and causes some repeated one-liners, But it's a trade-off across use-cases, and my dislike is probably caused by my static-quo thinking repeating itself.
Finally, and this one hurt: There is no use of templates in content files. For me, templates are not just for layout. I intermingle content with some data to create data-driven content, and not data-driven layout. Even though the hugo-homepage declares otherwise, Hugo really only does the latter. Shortcodes are restriced in their environment access, and so for customized indices Hugo fails me, without a workaround.
The last issue was the literal deal-breaker. Most issues might just be artifacts of me using Hugo incorrectly, or could go away as I get familiar with Hugo. While I assume that I can fix this final problem with some more time, it would not be worthwhile for this little site (unlike for a larger project). For now, I hope that this is somebody else's problem as well and they will fix it for fun, and then I can revisit Hugo with one hurdle less.
Hugo however reminded me of some potential for improving my layout templates. There might some refactoring be in the happening. Sadly, it also reminded me that the default pagination mechanisms are not perfect. (Also, Jekyll can do more than I remembered.)
Summary: I am very bone headed and like my site like it is, and because of that Hugo's defaults make my life slightly difficult, and break some minor (but important to me) build results. So I decided to keep using Jekyll for the time being, even though Hugo is cool, and will be revisited.

First of all, Thank You, each and every one of you.
Thank you for your wonderful contributions to the Blog About Palestine Day event. Thank you for leading by example, and raising awareness about Palestine, the Palestinians, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and many other things. Grassroots initiatives like this exemplify how we can truly do something amazing when we work together.
Unfortunately, the timing of this event coincided with my final exams schedule. So, i was only able to read very few of the contributed articles. I have just finished my last final exam, and have only one remaining project writeup to submit. I anticipate to be done either tonight or tomorrow morning.
As soon as i finish, i will resume reading the entries and compile a harvest list of all that articles that were written.
Until then,

Tucked away in a narrow valley just below the town of Akureyri in North Iceland, Sverrir Hermansson's Museum of Sundry Objects is one eccentric man's spectacular collection of ordinary things. The moment you walk into the main gallery, there are rows and rows of beautiful displays filled with meticulously arranged nails, saws, doorknobs, keys, matchboxes, lightbulbs, pencil nubs, and every other kind of ordinary household thing you wouldn't image in a museum. In this episode, I visit this beautiful little museum, get to know Sverrir, and have an experience that changes the way I think about museums.
Music in this episode is by the Bagdad Brothers. At the end of the episode, I recommend listeners also check out the Museum Archipelago podcast.
How to Listen to Museums in Strange Places
Welcome to Museums in Strange Places. I'm your host, Hannah Hethmon, and this is a podcast for people who love museums, stories, culture, and exploring the world.
This year, I'm living in Iceland, and in each episode, I visit a different Icelandic museum to discover what stories they hold and how they reflect and shape Iceland's unique cultural identity.
The podcast is hosted by me, Hannah Hethmon, an American Fulbright Fellow living in Reykjavík. You can find and follow me on Twitter and Instagram @hannah_rfh.

Vladivostok: Men's singles top seed Tommy Sugiarto made smooth progress through to the Russian Open final as he brushed aside the challenge of India's Ajay Jayaram on Saturday, winning 21-17 21-7 in 33 minutes.
The opening game proved to be a close affair, but it was surge in points at different intervals- first at the 5-5 mark- then, at the 15-15 mark for Sugiarto, that proved to be key moments for the Indonesian to win the first set.
Sugiarto completely dominated the second set, by winning points in clumps and eventually sealing the game to advance to the final. Sugiarto will clash with Raul Must who defeated Malaysian Zulfadli Zulkiffli 21-12, 22-20 on Saturday.
In an all-Malaysian men's doubles semi-final, independent men's doubles pair Hoon Thien How/Lim Khim Wah got off to a good start, winning the first set 21-15 against second seeds Goh V Shem/Tan Wee Kiong. However, Goh V Shem/Tan Wee Kiong showed resilience and bounced back after 13-13 to win the second set with 21-19. Despite Hoon Thien How/Lim Khim Wah's effort to close in on Goh V Shem/Tan Wee Kiong in the decider, Goh/Tan held off a strong challenge from Hoon/Lim and won the match in 75 minutes.
The pair of Manu Attri and B Sumeeth Reddy went down fighting to top seeds Vladimir Ivanov and Ivan Sozonov of Russia 21-19, 7-21, 16-21 in other men's doubles semi-final. Manu and Sumeeth have given some good performances recently and improved their world ranking to No. 20. They won the first game but the Russian combination fought back to turn the tables.
Unseeded Chan Peng Soon/Goh Liu Ying were working hard on every point to scraped past third seeds Vitalij Durkin/Nina Vislova 22-20 in the first set of mixed doubles semi-final. Nevertheless, due to a left foot injury sustained by Vitalij Durkin at the end of first set, the Russian pair was forced to retire from the match and allowed Chan/Goh to move into the final. Chan/Goh will face another unseeded pair Yuta Watanabe/Arisa Higashino of Japan in the final on Sunday. Yuta Watanabe/Arisa Higashino defeated Akshay Dewalkar/Prajakta Pawar of India 21-10, 21-8 in other mixed doubles semi-final.
Gabriela Stoeva and Stefani Stoeva of Bulgaria will face-off against Johanna Goliszewski/Carla Nelte of Germany in the women's doubles final.
