Travel Guide to Visiting Church Headquarters
Contributed By By Jason Swensen, Church News staff writer
Article Highlights
- Popular sites to visit include the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum, Mormon Battalion Monument, Mormon Battalion Monument Plaza, Salt Lake City Cemetery, and BYU museums.
Related Links
For folks living in the United States, summer is here, and it's time once again to reach for the sunglasses, enjoy a cold lemonade, and, for many Latter-day Saint families, visit Salt Lake–area Church attractions.
Any excursion to Church headquarters includes, of course, a visit to Temple Square. The stately temple, the historic Tabernacle, the visitors' centers, the Conference Center, and the Church History Museum remain must-sees. But individuals and families alike can enrich their time in the greater Salt Lake area by adding several other Mormon-related attractions to their itinerary. Here are a few suggestions for some short trips outside of Temple Square. All are free of charge and can be of interest to both Utah residents and their guests.
Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum
The DUP's Pioneer Memorial Museum is located at 300 N. Main Street in Salt Lake City and houses "the largest collection of artifacts" pertaining to Utah's pioneers—including displays of memorabilia from the Mormon pioneers and other 19th-century settlers of the Salt Lake Valley. Items found in the vast museum include paintings by pioneer artists, guns, quilts, clothing, a Conestoga wagon, medical and dental tools, and the original carved eagle from Eagle Gate. The Pioneer Memorial Museum is open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Mormon Battalion Monument
Patrons of the DUP Museum can take a short walk past the neighboring Utah State Capitol and visit this oft-forgotten monument on the southeast capitol grounds. In 1927, sculptor Gilbert Griswold crafted a 100-foot granite and bronze monument to pay tribute to the storied pioneers who enlisted in the U.S. Army during the Mexican War at the direction of President Brigham Young. The monument pays tribute to not only battalion members but also the many other men and women—including the Native Americans—who played essential roles in settling the Salt Lake Valley.
The Mormon Battalion Monument Plaza
Dedicated in 2010 by Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles, the plaza is a solemn site located on the south end of This Is the Place Heritage Park near the mouth of Emigration Canyon. The plaza features several heroic-sized sculptures of pioneer men and women impacted by the creation of the Mormon Battalion. The men who answered President Young's call to arms joined in one of the longest infantry marches in American history. The site includes the stories of families who experienced the Mormon Battalion firsthand. These words of Sgt. William Hyde, spoken in 1846, reveal the faith of the Battalion members: "Most of the Battalion left families. … When we were to meet with them again, God only knew. Nevertheless, we did not feel to murmur." The plaza is located just a short walk from the iconic This Is the Place Monument, which was unveiled in 1947 to mark the centennial anniversary of the arrival of the Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley. The towering monument features the pioneer prophet Brigham Young along with other key figures in the settlement of the Valley.
Salt Lake City Cemetery
A visit to this historic cemetery allows members to honor and reflect on the memories of dozens of prominent Latter-day Saint leaders from several generations. The grave sites of 11 Church presidents—John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, Joseph F. Smith, Heber J. Grant, George Albert Smith, David O. McKay, Joseph Fielding Smith, Harold B. Lee, Spencer W. Kimball, Howard W. Hunter, and Gordon B. Hinckley—can be found by using maps available at the cemetery office. Several other key figures from Mormon history, such as Willard Richards, Porter Rockwell, and composer William Clayton, are also buried at the Salt Lake City Cemetery. The cemetery is open from 8:00 a.m. to dusk Monday through Friday; it's closed on weekends and holidays.
Brigham Young University Museums
Located some 45 minutes away from Salt Lake City is a collection of varied museums on the campus of Brigham Young University in Provo. The BYU Museum of Art, for example, hosts several diverse exhibitions that serve students, faculty members, and the greater Utah County community. The museum is anchored by "Shaping America," a long-running exhibition of selected works from the museum's vast collection of American art. A new exhibit entitled "Cut! Costume and the Cinema" will open in July and will feature dozens of costumes from several popular period films.
Other museums on the BYU campus include the Museum of Peoples and Cultures and the kid-friendly (and dinosaur-friendly) Museum of Paleontology. Following a lengthy renovation period, the popular Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum will open June 7. The expanded museum will include a permanent exhibition featuring the wildlife artwork of President Boyd K. Packer, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

"Fans of Anne Rice will feel right at home in this world!" E-book available free for limited time on: ReadingDeals.com – free review books.
Each year on February 14th, people exchange cards, candy, gifts or flowers with their special someone. The day of romance we call Valentine's Day is named for a Christian martyr and dates back to the 5th century, but has origins in the Roman holiday Lupercalia.
No matter the origin of Valentine's Day, it is nice to have a day devoted to love. In the spirit of Amor, I will share an excerpt from Shadow of Life.
"Words cannot describe how I feel," Nadira murmurs.
"Then don't use them," Gregor smiles.
She rises on her elbow to see his face. Their minds interweave and whisper their souls' secrets, their hearts' treasures communicated without speech because words are inadequate. A shared kiss becomes the stamp that delivers their silent message.
They rest with their bodies intertwined in a sweet lassitude, listening to their hearts beat in unison. One flesh—together at last.
So, kiss someone special to you and enjoy your Valentine's Day!

Create Your Own Budget Wall Art
By Alyssa Davis
Although there are many different styles of wall art that you can purchase, it can often be not only fun but economically advantageous to create some of your own budget wall art. Not only can you design the art yourself, but you can also make simple prints and other inexpensively purchased art really come alive, simply by adding a few accents and touches on your own, such as custom matting and framing.
Frame Your Own Artwork Creations
Of course, if you or somebody in your family is an artist, you can feature your own paintings in your home. This can create some particularly relevant and meaningful decorative accents, since the designs are personal to you and your family. Regardless of your personal style, hand-painted artwork will be a great addition, especially if you get them attractively custom framed.
Needlework and Other Craft Artwork
If you do cross stitch or quilt, you probably have many attractive pieces which would make good budget wall art. Many times people simply store their cross stitch and needlework creations in a drawer or box, but bringing them out and using them to decorate your home is a great idea. Needlework such as cross stitch can be framed and hung, and of course quilts can be used as attractive wall hangings.
Use Nature as Inspiration for Art
Another beautiful choice for creating your own budget wall art is to use objects from nature, such as dried leaves, pressed flowers or sea shells as the basis for pieces of art. You can purchase inexpensive shadow boxes, which will allow you to arrange these types of natural materials attractively, so that you can hang them as wall art. If you have some mementos from a recent vacation, such as from a trip to the beach, this can be a great way of not only decorating your home, but also enjoying your mementos.
Photography as Art
Since almost everybody has a camera, taking your own photos and framing them is another way of including inexpensive pieces of art within your home. The photos can be of whatever is most appealing to you. You can either take some pictures specifically for the purchase of creating wall art, or display photos that have a particular meaning to you, such as family photos or vacation photos. Either way, this can be a very inexpensive and beautiful way of creating some budget wall art.
Display a Collection
Collections can also make wonderful wall art. Too many times these collections are stored in boxes in the closet, when instead they could be on display in your home as art. Some examples of collections that work well as wall art include decorative plates which can be displayed using plate hangers, or spoon or thimble collections, which you can display in specially designed display racks and boxes. Other collections that can be used to create attractive wall art include post card or stamp collections. Using items that are meaningful to you and your family is sometimes the best art work of all.

The Senate has expressed concern over the failure of Government agencies to submit their 2017 budget proposal to the National Assembly in line with extant law.
Deputy Senate Leader, Senator Bala Ibn Na'Allah who drew the attention of his colleagues to the abnormality during plenary today, said it is wrong for agencies to spend money that has not been appropriated by the legislature.
Senator Na'Allah told the Senate that he intends to bring the issue to the floor as a motion so that Senators will understand the implications and the need to assist the government to fight corruption.
Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, while ruling on the point of order, expressed displeasure over the failure by most government agencies to submit their 2017 budget proposals to the National Assembly for consideration and approval.
The Senate President condemned the practice where agencies of government spend money without statutory approval by the National Assembly and ruled that the issue be debated and resolution taken by the Senate tomorrow.

Porky Harris & His Fantabulous Five - Porkypine \ Pigpen
I don't know what's up today, I don't have any stupid comments to write about this mystery band with a stupid name. I guess it's all kinda laid out for you. Dude somehow earned the nickname Porky and went wild with it, made a single. Did he ever make another one? Not that the internet has been finding for me. The closest thing I've found is a discography of Crystalette 45s which would indicate "no, he didn't", though finally for one of these 45s I've got a date: 1958
So soak up the Porky Harris you've got here, you won't get any more. Porky Pine is plain ol' instrumental R&B with plenty of wailin' saxamaphone
Pig Pen is a similar deal, though employing the wondeful instrumental tactic of stopping the music to announce the name of the song, sorta like Church Key. A note though, there was one tiny little bump of scum on the 45 that I couldn't get out. I've tried to doctor the skip it produced but it doesn't sound TOTALLY natural. But unless somebody else has this 45 (and ebay searches don't make it seem too promising) this is all you're going to get.

St. Joseph Hospice began providing peace, comfort and dignity to those facing terminal illness in 2002, with the opening of its first office in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Since that time, St. Joseph Hospice has achieved a reputation as a compassionate and competent leader in the hospice industry and has grown to include offices throughout Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. For more information about St. Joseph Hospice and the services provided, please visit www.StJosephHospice.com.
Realizing the need for an inpatient hospice facility in the Baton Rouge area that could provide those with symptoms not well managed at home an option for care, St. Joseph Hospice opened the doors of The Carpenter House in January of 2009.
Once opened, The Carpenter House became the first freestanding inpatient hospice facility in Baton Rouge. Offering a warm, home-like atmosphere, The Carpenter House offers 16 private rooms for patients who require 24-hour nursing care. Each room has a flat-screen television and a chair that converts into a bed for the comfort of a family member, friend or caregiver who wishes to spend the night with the patient.
Other amenities include:
- Family Dining Room with Full Size Dining Table
- Family Room with Flat-Screen Television
- Furnished Library with Computer Access
- Meditation Chapel
- Welcoming Atrium with Waterfall
- Children's Playroom with Toys and Games
- Restrooms for Family Members and Guests Complete with Shower Facilities
- Snack Bar with Full Size Refrigerator, Microwave and Freshly Brewed Coffee
- Occasional Lunches and Sweets Provided to Families by Local Restaurants, Bakeries and Individuals
The Carpenter House allows patients to transition directly from the hospital into a home-like atmosphere and helps patients and family members in need of intense symptom management as they plan for long-term arrangements at their residence. During their stay, they have a chance to meet and get to know the hospice staff that will provide care for them at home.
For St. Joseph Hospice patients, The Carpenter House can provide options to emergency room care should symptoms worsen or in times of patient and/or caregiver crisis.
Named in honor of the profession of St. Joseph, who is the patron saint of a peaceful death, The Carpenter House serves as a place of peace for terminally ill patients with symptoms not well managed at home.

Trail Volunteers Engaged in Northern California Forest to Protect Resources
STONYFORD, CA (April 22) -- Three groups of trail volunteers were fully engaged on the Mendocino National Forest this past weekend in a diverse range of conservation activities. Most of the work is related to helping rehabilitate this destination OHV riding area after it was devastated by the 2012 Mill Fire. That catastrophic wildfire burned over 82,000 acres last summer which impacted about 3/4ths of the trail system on the Grindstone Ranger District.
One group of volunteers was finishing their official Forest Service chainsaw certification class that will enable them to help clear downed trees that often block trails. Other trail enthusiasts worked with agency staff and installed new trail barriers that help delineate the route and protect sensitive areas from unauthorized use.
Club members also did trail work on Trail 33 otherwise known to local dirt-bikers as the Steam Donkey Trail. These post-fire volunteer efforts have been in progress since October of 2012 so that the area can be reopened for public use by June 1, 2013.
Don Amador, Western Representative for the BlueRibbon Coalition, states, "It has been amazing to see the heroic efforts made by the volunteers, FS staff, crews from CA OHV Division and Trails Unlimited, and many others to repair trail erosion control structures, signing, and installation of trail delineators so that the unit can be reopened for public use."
"This collaborative effort is a good example of what can be accomplished when trail enthusiasts work side by side with federal and state partners to maintain and improve OHV recreational opportunity for this and future generations particularly after the area was hit by a destructive event." Amador concludes.
The BlueRibbon Coalition is a national recreation group that champions responsible recreation, and encourages individual environmental stewardship. With members in all 50 states, BRC is focused on building enthusiast involvement with organizational efforts through membership, outreach, education, and collaboration among recreationists. 1-800-BLUERIB - http://archive.sharetrails.org.

who am i?
"We'll need some form of identification," he says, looking at me like I'm trying to hide who I am somehow.
I blanch for a moment because I know that I've got so many cards on me – too many. I've got every card I own, and they're not in my wallet. For some reason they're all in the pocket of my jeans.
I reach my hand inside my pocket, and cards upon cards upon cards fall out into my fingers. But I can't see my licence. I can see my high school student cards, all five of them. Twelve year old me through to seventeen year old me. But they're not me anymore. I see my university student card, where I'm still seventeen but I'm in what I thought was the real world. I can't find my freaking licence.
"I'm so sorry," I say, anxiety creeping in on the edges of my voice. My hands shake, and some of my cards fall through the gaps between my fingers and onto the floor. "I can't find it."
He leans forward, looking into my hands where all those past mes stare up at us, smiling. "One of these will do, it's just for your name." And then he's picking up my tenth grade student card, and I want to scream at him 'but that's not me!', but I just stare at him. I know he needs my ID, what does it matter if it's from the past or the present? But it feels wrong. It feels so wrong.
He looks at the picture of me, and I'm fourteen or fifteen, depending on when it was taken. I've got brown hair and a wispy fringe, and I don't even look like myself.
"That's fine, you can go through," he says, handing it back to me.
But it isn't me. It isn't me.
That was actually a dream I had last night. I am quite excellent at remembering my dreams :D They're not always so normal, though. My dreams are often wild things, and their meanings are pretty unclear (if they even have meanings, that is). But this one felt real.
Do you remember your dreams? Share one with me!
(Also: would you like this to be a thing? Where I write out my dreams and you read them? Let me know, loves.)

Damask, once restricted to drawing or other formal rooms, has today under that less ceremonious American practice which combines different fabrics and furniture forms in all rooms of the home come into much more general use than ever before in its long history. In this adaptation to our twentieth century life, two extremes of patterns have evolved. One is characterized by new color effects, the other simulates a fabric dulled and worn by age. And under good decorators or discriminating householders, damask covered furniture and window and other draperies are successfully associated with fine furnishings of many periods, including our own virile one.
The damask weave, as George Leland Hunter has pointed out in his authoritative book "Decorative Textiles," is a fabric on which the pattern is brought out by the lines of its weave running in a different direction from that of the ground. The linen damask tablecloths illustrate this simply. In modern damask there are incorporated with the traditional silk other materials, such as cotton, linen, wool and artificial silk, in order to produce new effects. The fabric is, however, made in essentially the same manner as in the twelfth century, when it got its present name from the city of Damascus, then famous for the beauty of its silks of this character.
Most of the designs used in damasks today are copies of those woven centuries ago in Italy, Spain or France. This varied background allows the damask-covered chair, couch or window draperies to fit into the prevalent vogue for Spanish, Italian, French or Georgian interiors. Though damask weaving was not an English art, the English decorators of the eighteenth century used large quantities of Italian damasks, both for furniture coverings and as hangings for walls.
In France, the period of Louis XVI developed many beautiful symmetrical designs, often with stripe effects combined with flowers and leaves. Large floral motifs were also characteristic of that period of dignified luxury. Most of the Italian weaves now reproduced hark back to Renaissance motifs, wherein the pomegranate, the apple of love of medieval times, surrounded by flowers and leaves, often forms part of the pattern. Wonderful. tones of color are found in some of these old Italian fabrics violet and crimson, or an old gold that has the Cinquecento charm.
While the best designs of damasks are derived from precious bits preserved in museums, there are also patterns inspired by the life of today. Some designs suggestive of Japan are in brilliant reds, like those employed in lacquer; the straight trunks of the bamboo are shown against misty mountains and violet clouds. Especially modernistic is a pattern of new flower forms that may have been inspired by roses, but it is removed from reality by diagonal rays of darker tones that slant across the pattern. :Delicate peach, jade or other hues, never used by the old Italian and French damask weavers, make these modern weaves distinctive.
New effects are also achieved by varying the color arrangements of old designs. In some patterns the background, instead of being of solid color, is made up of many minute threads of reds and greens and purples in light and dark tones. And the use of wool and cotton provides new textures to contrast with the silk. A few daring weaves in this mode have at first glance little resemblance to the smooth sheen of the traditional damask weave.
The vogue for the old has encouraged the weaving of damasks of old designs which have the appearance of age. A Spanish design in gold will have threadbare places on its thinly worn surface, with the dull though beautiful hue that good color assumes after two hundred years or more of wear wonderfully duplicated. Some of the fabrics thus antiqued are too thin for upholstery of chairs, but may serve admirably as window hangings. Others woven for furniture coverings belie their decrepit appearance by their durability, and the householder who buys a piece of furniture covered with this ancient looking modern fabric may expect as much service from it as if it did not simulate great age.
Although damask-covered furniture gives in the formal reception room an air of luxury and dignity that only a few other fabrics can achieve, pieces of damask covered furniture are not inharmoniously introduced into less formal quarters. Because of its use in the times of Charles I and Charles II in England, and also in the days of James II and later, a damask upholstered chair or couch may be associated with Georgian wood blocked chintz covered chairs as well as with Jacobean embroidered fabrics. Furniture covering of needlepoint also seems to have a special affinity for the formal eighteenth century weaves of damask. Chinese bowls and silver birds on a mantel or a piece of Chippendale or a Grinling Gibbons carving on a mirror frame help create a background for a piece of damaskcovered furniture, especially where one has a room suggestive of the Colonial.

Va Tech's guidelines for evaluating disturbing student writing, as a Word file and as filtered through an analysis by Inside Higher Ed:
The document also reflects the tightrope its drafters were walking, leaving ample room for intuition and judgment in identifying disturbing writing and offering a series of questions instructors might find helpful in distinguishing creative and literary explorations of themes like violence, drugs and suicide, from a threat or cry for help. Among the questions, geared for fiction, poetry or playwrighting courses:
- "Is the creative work excessively violent? Do characters respond to everyday events with a level or kind of violence one does not expect, or may even find frightening? If so, does the violence seem more expressive of rage and anger than it does of a literary aesthetic or a thematic purpose?"
- "Are the characters' thoughts as well as actions violent or threatening? Do characters think about or question their violent actions?..In other words, does the text reveal the presence of a literary sensibility mediating and making judgments about the characters' thoughts and actions, or does it suggest unmediated venting of rage and anger? If the literary sensibility is missing, is the student receptive to adding that layer and to learning how to do so?"
- "Is this the student's first piece of violent writing?..Is violence at the center of everything the student has written, or does other writing suggest that violence is something the student is experimenting with for literary effect?"
- "Are the violent actions in the work so disturbing or so extreme as to suggest they go beyond any possible sense of purpose in relation to the larger narrative?"
- "Is the writing full of expressions of hostility toward other racial or ethnic groups? Is the writing threateningly misogynistic, homophobic, racist, or in any way expressive of a mindset that may pose a threat to other students?"
"The danger," Falco says of the Virginia Tech document (which has received approvals from the university's counseling center, legal counsel and provost's office) "is that written guidelines can be misused….that a situation would come about where you hamper creative freedom because students are afraid to write something because they're afraid it will get them thrown into a system."

Small Business Guide to Cash Flow ManagementStep-by-step advice to help you understand and optimize your cash flow to protect and grow your business.
More than any other single factor, cash flow determines the success or failure of your business. Unfortunately, many small business owners struggle with managing their cash flow, or they don't manage — or even understand — it at all.
Why is cash flow management so critical? The bottom line: Even if sales are strong and profits healthy, if you have negative cash flow, you could still run out of money to pay bills. And that could spell trouble (sending you scrambling to find additional funding) or disaster (if you can't find it fast).
"Business owners are generally fixated on the income statement — what sales were generated, how much did we make or lose, etc. — and haven't a clue when it comes to not just understanding cash flow but more importantly, how to proactively manage the business to improve cash flow and build liquidity," said Tage C. Tracy, on-time CFO and co-author of several books including "Cash Flow for Dummies."
Tracy called cash flow "the most important financial statement/concept for a small business owner to truly understand, and the least understood."
Cash flow management is not rocket science. Every small business owner can learn it. This guide covers the essentials, including how to improve your cash flow to protect and grow your business.
What is cash flow?
"Cash flow is money coming in and going out of your business. It's really that simple," said Denise O'Berry, a consultant who helps small businesses improve their cash flow. O'Berry is author of "Small Business Cash Flow: Strategies for Making Your Business a Financial Success."
"Small businesses think about cash flow as a math activity, and that's why so many shy away, when in fact small business cash flow isn't really about math at all. It's about the story of your business — the successes, the not so great things that happen, the failures. It's something that every single small business owner needs to pay closer attention to."
Managing your cash flow means making sure you always have enough cash on hand to make payroll and pay suppliers, vendors, rent and other expenses, plus cover any debt payments you owe, even during slow periods and times you need to make large cash outlays.
Cash on hand does not include money customers owe you. It's not the same as the number at the bottom of your profit and loss statement, which is why you need a separate cash flow statement.
"Just because you have a profit on something doesn't mean that you have a balance in your bank account," said O'Berry. "A business works on sales and expenses. I could make $1,000 profit on the sale of something, but if my expenses — meaning debt, employees, inventory — if all of that stuff adds up to more than what that profit is, guess what: I have a negative cash flow."
Tracy calls this concept being "in the black but where's the green?"
Unfortunately, it's often par for the course. "One of the big problems with many businesses," said O'Berry, "is that they have a time lag on doing work and then getting paid, which causes some real issues." Good cash flow management can get you through those lags and also shorten them.
Tracy said most small business owners obsess over their P&L. "They don't understand the amount of capital and cash that's required to really operate and grow a business, so they end up in a lot of stressful situations."
A cash flow statement — and especially a cash flow forecast — are the tools you need to gain these insights.
Tracking and forecasting cash flow
The cash flow statement reports on the sources and uses of cash over a period of time (whereas the balance sheet is a reflection of assets, liabilities and net equity at a specific point in time), said Tracy. Cash flow statement templates are available online, or use a basic spreadsheet. Your online accounting software can probably generate a cash flow statement, too.
A cash flow forecast, aka projection or budget, is even more important. It predicts sales and expenses over a future period — how much cash will come in, and how much you will need to lay out. O'Berry recommended looking six months ahead; Tracy said one year is his minimum, so you can truly understand your peaks and valleys. Here's one example of a 12-month cash flow template. And here is O'Berry's worksheet.
Use past accounting reports and knowledge of your business to inform your cash flow forecast.
Looking ahead lets you anticipate problems and act in time to avoid them. Do you see a month in which you'll have to lay out more cash for inventory or equipment or debt payments than you'll receive through customer payments?
Tiffany C. Wright, CEO of The Resourceful CEO and author of "The Funding Is Out There! Access the Cash You Need to Impact Your Business," said, "Any negative cash flow weeks you observe need to be immediately converted to zero or positive through a line of credit, equity injections, customer deposits, better collection efforts, better credit policies, etc."
By managing your cash flow you'll not only avoid the toxic situation of paying people and businesses late, you'll have cash to invest in the business (purchasing new equipment, increasing inventory, funding a marketing campaign or event) when you want to.
Nick Braun, CEO of the online pet insurance agency PetInsuranceQuotes.com, said, "We manage burn rate internally using Excel. We have a rolling annual budget broken down by month that gets updated each month based on the previous month's results." Each month's budget starts and ends with cash.
"It's a simple method that factors in P&L and balance sheet changes. This method allows me and our Board make strategic decisions without running out of cash. And if we decide to accelerate growth or there are changes in performance, we have a 12-month runway at all times." That long runway, said Braun, "gives us plenty of time to raise money or find debt financing" if cash is needed down the road.
How to improve your cash flow
Improving cash flow means selling more and spending less. No surprise there. But it also means delaying cash outlays for as long as possible, getting paid as fast as you can and turning over inventory lickety-split.
Here are some of the key principles of good cash flow management.
Build a cash cushion. When business is good, put away money every month to get you through lean periods. O'Berry recommends having three months of typical expenses in reserve.Ruth King, small business consultant and author of "The Courage to Be Profitable," advised putting at least 1 percent of every dollar that comes in the door into a savings account.
Anticipate cash crunches. Use your six- or 12-month cash flow forecast to recognize when cash will be tight. Then figure out how to boost sales or cut expenses.
Understand your selling cycle. Most small business owners underestimate how long it takes to build, market and sell a product and then collect on sales, said Tracy. "If you think it's six months and it turns out to be a year, you don't realize how much cash or capital you need to entirely support your selling cycle. One of the most common reasons businesses fail is the lack of proper capital. There's nothing worse than having to go back to people and say, 'I blew it and I need more money.'"
Negotiate faster payments. O'Berry said, "One big mistake so many service providers make is they negotiate contracts so their invoices have a net 30 day payment cycle." If you do the work on the first of the month, then issue the invoice on the last day of the month and don't get paid for another month, "you're being a bank to you customers. You should never be a bank to your customers." Ask for a shorter cycle. If you're providing a service to a company, make sure you know who pays the bills in the company, and deal with them one-on-one. "That person needs to be your friend," said O'Berry.
Encourage customers to pay on time. Send out automated reminder emails, and send a personal email or pick up the phone if those don't work. Consider offering a small discount for cash on delivery or net 10 day payment, the Small Business Administration recommends.
Require interim payments on large orders or projects. Establish a retainer plan. If it's a big project, break payments down by deliverable points. Ask for a down payment to cover initial costs.
Pay suppliers later. Don't pay until the last day you can. If payment is due in 30 days, pay on day 30. Also, "proactively manage vendors and suppliers and set their expectations," said Tracy. "Your vendors or suppliers want to work with you. You're their customer. It's very helpful to establish credit terms that are more attractive during tight periods and repay them when the cash is available." If your business is seasonal, you might ask for a 30-day term during most months but a 90-day term when you need more time to pay.
Manage inventory proactively. "Everybody always wants to believe that every piece of inventory they have is going to sell. That's not the case," said Tracy. Do what's necessary to make sure inventory turns over quickly, and don't get emotionally attached to inventory that's not selling. Tracy cited an example of a watch company with leather bands that were unpopular. By comparing inventory to average monthly sales, they realized they had 23 years of inventory on hand. They launched an aggressive sales campaign to turn that inventory into cash. You can also sell to a third-party liquidator if need be.
Cut expenses. There are many ways to do this, from renegotiating debts and credit line interest rates to putting off new equipment purchases and paying vendors in cash if they offer a discount for it (and if you have the cash available).
Get rid of obsolete equipment. Selling it if it's still worth something is one way to get an infusion of cash.
Sell more product. Initiate a new marketing campaign on social media, through email or otherwise to attract new customers. Partnering with other local business owners can also help you move more product. Consider opening a pop-up store and marketing it to create buzz. Or have a sale, suggested O'Berry. "You could put together a special that packages two different products together that's a really good deal for your customers."
Raise prices. But, advised Lou Davenport, a mentor at SCORE, a non-profit association dedicated to helping small businesses through education and mentorship, "Remember that prices are market-driven, not cost-driven. It doesn't matter what your costs are because the market doesn't care. What matters is if you can make a profit at price the market will bear."
Lease instead of buy equipment. This may or may not pay off in the long run , so do your research.
Use debt correctly. A common mistake Tracy sees is that small business owners mismatch their capital structure. "They will use long-term debt to finance short-term assets, or even worse, use short-term debt to finance long-term assets. Make sure your balance sheet is probably balanced long and short term." Need to finance a manufacturing facility? Do it with a loan or through investors. Need to pay for inventory? That's best financed with short-term debt like a short-term line of credit.
Secure additional financing. If you run into serious trouble and need cash fast, you have options. If you can't get a bank loan, options range from accounts receivable financing to factoring.
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
Update and analyze all of your accounting reports — your income statement, your balance sheet and your cash flow projection — on a regular basis. Weekly is best, said O'Berry."Business aren't static entities. There's stuff happening all the time."
"Way too many small business owners look at their reports once a year when they do their taxes. Other than that they might just look at the balance in their checking account, which is a horrid way to manage your cash flow."
O'Berry compared running a business to driving down the road: You need to look at the windshield more often than the rearview mirror.
Reading the road takes just 15 to 30 minutes each week, she noted. "And it's the survival of your business you're talking about."
Finally, don't hope for success; plan for it. "Hope is not a strategy," said O'Berry, "so don't just hope your business is going to get better. Really look hard at your situation, and most people can dig themselves out of a hole if they get in it."

Monday 19th December – Love, loss, empowerment, the wisdom of age, and the joy of sex. Based on the book: 'A Round-Heeled Woman: my Late-life Adventures in Sex and Romance', by Jane Juska, the stage adaptation delivers the same smart, brave and honest message of the memoir. In the book, Juska – 'a smart, energetic divorcee of a certain age' – placed an advert in The New York Review of Books, reading: "Before I turn 67 – next March – I would like to have a lot of sex with a man I like. If you want to talk first, Trollope works for me." Receiving 63 replies, A Round-Heeled Woman, the play at Aldwych Theatre, recounts the tales from her encounters: love, rejection, heartbreak, humiliation and humour.The frank address of an older woman's sexuality could easily be unpalatable, especially for a mass audience – but because the themes aren't actually age or gender specific, the play has a well-rounded universal appeal. Especially as Jane Prowse used such tactful humour to deliver the delicate material.

Usually this day sneaks up on me somehow, but for once I managed to keep track of time long enough to be prepared. Hurrah! I'd make a terrible Brownie or Girl Guide. Whichever one is supposed to Be Prepared.
Aside from Samhainn, this is the festival that the kids love the most and are keen to get involved in, mainly because there are lots of things for them to do and make. Also, Rosie in particular thinks of Brìde coming around with her cow as being akin to Father Christmas dropping round, except this time we have to leave presents for her. I assured Rosie that we'd leave out some food (just like we do for Father Christmas, after all), but she insisted on something more:
She drew a picture before it was time to go to school on Friday morning and was going to colour it in later, but then decided she didn't want to ruin it. I've no idea why the cow is saying "oom," so I can only conclude that bovines, like gods, work in mysterious ways. Or else six-year-olds do.
I wanted to get hold of a kit to make our dealbh Brìde but the local garden centre didn't have anything that was particularly appropriate for the kids to join in with. The next best thing was a book with a set of pipe cleaners and some ideas for things to make, which were simple enough for the kids to make themselves. Tom wasn't sure he was keen on the idea of making a doll, so it seemed more inclusive, too, which was a plus. In the end, the day before we were going to celebrate, I made the dealbh Brìde and the kids made some of the things from the book. We ended up with quite the menagerie:
Tom made a snake all by himself, which seemed quite apt. Accompanied by a very authentic lizard, penguin, grape, and banana, I'm sure you'll agree. The grape ended up being repurposed as a lantern for Brìde, at Rosie's insistence. She's taken the festivities to heart this year.
So on Friday the house was cleaned and tidied, ready for the evening of festivities, and then we feasted on roast chicken with sticky toffee pudding (at Tom's insistence, and which he made), we danced and sang, and we invited Brìde in and set the icon in her bed. The house was sained and devotions and offerings were made, and the kids took forever to get to sleep because it was all just so damn exciting. At bedtime they decided they wanted to leave a blanket out each, for blessing, so I promised I'd do that for them. I put some things out for me and Mr Seren as well.
We didn't have time to fit everything in so some of it spilled over into today. Rosie and I made a cros Bríde each:
And then Tom decided he'd like one for his room, so I said I make another one if he wanted. He wasn't keen on doing it himself, so he picked the colours and I set to it. The one I did is the largest, while Rosie picked red and yellow for hers. Tom wanted a mix of all three:
For dinner this evening we had beef and barley stew with another go at Skye bannocks for after, which I blessed as I made them:
They certainly looked better than the first go I had at Lùnastal, but the blackberries I put in then were a nice addition. The sultanas I added this time round were good too, but blackberries have the edge, I think.
While dinner was cooking I had to nip out to the shops to get some bread and Rosie took it upon herself to write a poem for Brìde as she entertained herself with Minecraft. It was completely her own idea, and she was very excited to show it off once I got back. I insisted on taking a photo for posterity:
Then when I went to dish up the dinner and the kids were waiting at the table, there was a miracle! The kitchen windows had steamed up and a heart had appeared on one of the panes of the back door where we'd invited Brìde in the night before. The kids insisted that neither of them had done it and Rosie was so giddy because that just had to mean Brìde had been to visit, she almost passed out. There was definite communication with dolphins...
All in all, things seemed to come together nicely. As much as I've been at this for a good while now (by today's standards, anyway), now that the kids are starting to become more involved with things it's like being able to see it through a different point of view at times. One thing that's becoming more clear than ever is that it's the simple things that can be the most meaningful, whether it's a heart in the window or the first crack of sunshine after weeks of cloud and rain and sleet.
Brìde has been. Spring is on its way. Brìde is welcome...

Hawkshaw, Kreusch, Willocks, Kammerinke Named All-America
Related Links
Newport News, Va. – University of Massachusetts seniors Sarah Hawkshaw and Melanie Kreusch and Saint Joseph's junior Anna Willocks and sophomore Victoria Kammerinke were named to the 2017 Longstreth/National Field Hockey Coaches Association All-America squads Tuesday afternoon.
Hawkshaw inked her name on the second team for the second time in her career. She made significant climbs in the UMass record book throughout her 85 career appearances. With 92 points on 40 goals and 12 assists, she became an offensive mainstay while in Amherst. Hawkshaw is seventh in program history in career goals as well as eighth in points. As a senior in 2017, the Dublin, Ireland product turned in 21 points on nine goals and three helpers.
Kreusch, the Atlantic 10 Co-Defensive Player of the Year, was placed on the third team for the first time in her career. Kreusch was instrumental in 2017 on the UMass backline, anchoring a defense that held opponents to 1.76 goals per game. The Brussels, Belgium native helped her own cause at the other end of the pitch as an offensive spark plug, averaging 1.19 points per game which ranked 10th in the Atlantic 10. Kreusch was also a key part of the UMass penalty corner unit and closed her career with 87 points on 37 goals and 13 assists over 85 matches played. She led the team in goals and points this year and ranks in the top-10 in program history in career goals and points.
Willocks, a native of Palmerston North, New Zealand, who earned Atlantic 10 Offensive Player of the Year honors for the third time, earned second team accolades for the second consecutive season. She also became the first Hawk in program history to earn multiple All-America honors. Willocks tied for the team lead in goals with 18 and added a team-best 11 assists to lead the Hawks with 47 points en route to her third All-Atlantic 10 First Team selection.
Kammerinke, who hails from Kaarst, Germany, was tabbed for the third team. She was named the Atlantic 10's Co-Defensive Player of the Year and led the A-10 in goals against average, save percentage, and shutouts while setting a program record with 18 victories on the season. Kammerinke ranked third in the nation in save percentage while backstopping a defense that ranked fourth in all of Division I in team save percentage.

A Pinoy @ The Movies: The Revenant
A 'revenant' is someone who came back from the dead, and boy, what a comeback from the dead that was!
I thought I was done seeing blood and body parts in movies this month. Last week, in Quentin Tarantino's Hateful Eight, in almost every other scene, there was spilling of blood from Type A to Z, and I was relieved when that movie was over.
But I guess my quota for spilt blood wasn't reached yet. On the first few minutes of The Revenant, the Arikara Indians had their own version of a real killing spree of 'white' men, which made Tarantino's bloody scenes look like a high school reunion. Ha-ha-ha! And those Arikara Indians really knew their bow and arrows. Catniss Everdeen would have been relegated to a beginner, unless she could shoot while riding a galloping horse half-naked.
The Revenant is a real story of Hugh Glass, played by Leonardo diCaprio, who was a hunter, explorer and frontiersman in the 1800s, and who was left for dead by his companions in the wilderness. His torturous journey back to his outpost half-dead, full of broken bones and covered with Frankenstein's monster-like stitches in order to avenge the murder of his son makes up the core of the film. Yes, you will be cringing in your seat, too, but it will be worth the cringe because The Revenant is a must-watch movie. With all its 12 Oscar nominations, including best picture, best actor and best director, it will become one of the all-time best.
His journey back to the outpost over mountains, rivers and merciless Indians included crawling, swimming, walking, riding a horse and begging for food, which all made Reese Witherspoon's thousand-mile trek along the Pacific Crest Trail in the movie Wild look like a stroll along Rodeo Drive.
In this film, Leonardo got mauled by a grizzly, got sown together without anesthesia, forced to swim in the freezing rapids and fell of a cliff. So, if this performance doesn't win him an Oscar, I don't know what role ever will.
He'll win; don't worry, together with Tom Hardy, the bad guy, for best supporting actor.
So, if you have time to squeeze in a movie this freezing weekend, The Revenant it should be.

I don't know if this movie is too rough for me to see; you make it sound excellent. We enjoyed The Martian and Matt Damon may be up for an Oscar too.ReplyDelete
Nicely done and entertaining review, and I can't wait to see it. Sometime I wish I could've been an explorer in the American West back in the early 1800's, but I am sure all the dangers kept the average lifespan pretty low. Looking forward to reading more of your blog, I can't wait till the next time my wife and daughter and I get back to the Philippines.ReplyDelete

I attempted to find the studies that you mentioned in your question. At first, I could not find anything.
Later, I found this article that mentions Stefansson and a 1928 Bellevue Hospital Study
I wanted to see what these diets actually consisted of. It seems pretty unlikely to me that they consisted entirely of meat and nothing else.
The article did mention that they had the occasional grapefruit.
The main purpose of the study was to show that they would not get scurvy from eating little to no fruit. It was not to prove that they could eat only meat and nothing else for a year.
The Eskimo diet may consist largely of meat but the above article also mentioned that they did have fruits, vegetables and other carbohydrates as well. So, it was not 100% meat and nothing else.
Nutritionists usually talk about eating a balanced diet. Eating all meat and only meat would not really be a balanced diet.
It seems to me that eating 100% meat would lead to constipation.
If I were on a high meat, low carb diet I would definitely make sure that I ate plenty of fiber dense foods such as green leafy vegetables (think salad) as well as broccoli and celery.
Leafy Green Vegetables Provide Fiber
I suspect that a diet with zero carbs would not work very well anyway. You'd be relying on alternate metabolic pathways to supply your body with energy, I just don't see it as being very viable for long periods of time.
As you mentioned in your own experience, you became dizzy after the first week.
At the very least, the test subjects would have to be taking in some liquid while on this particular kind of diet. So, to answer your question, I don't believe anyone out there is on a 100% meat diet.
If I'm wrong, please show me the documentation – I'd really like to see it, because it sounds a little strange to me.
I don't think it is healthy or practical to eliminate all carbs.
I assume you are asking this question because your interest is in losing weight.
Here is a free booklet you can download called Skyrocket Your Fat Loss Success. [AFF]
If you feel like I didn't quite cover everything you were asking, please feel free to ask a follow up question or use the comment box below.
Please be as specific as you can, so that I can better answer your question(s)
Check with your doctor before attempting to diet, especially before trying any radical, unbalanced type diets.
Eat your Broccoli!

The Eastern Europe Energy Efficiency and Environment Partnership (E5P), a multi-donor fund of which the EU is one of the main contributors, was officially launched in the Belarusian capital Minsk on 10 July. The fund will provide up to €17 million in grant support to municipal projects across the country in the areas of district heating, solid waste management, street lighting, transport and energy efficiency.
The EU, with a pledge of €10 million, is the largest fund contributor to date, while Belarus has also committed to providing €1 million. Other contributions have come from Estonia, Germany, Poland and Sweden, and more countries are expected to join the E5P in Belarus in the near future.
"In its capacity of the largest contributor to the Fund, the European Union wishes to see E5P as a catalyst of action. This concerns both policy action and sound investments into sustainable infrastructure for the benefit of citizens and the environment," stated Ms Andrea Wiktorin, Head of the EU Delegation to Belarus.
The first grant of €2 million from E5P in the country will be provided to the Puhovichi Solid Waste Project implemented by the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development. It will help construct the country's first regional environmentally friendly landfill, which will be built in accordance with EU standards. The new landfill is expected to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases by an equivalent of 6,764 tonnes of CO2 annually and save a total of €3 million in operating costs.
E5P, part of the EU4Energy Initiative, is a €200 million multi-donor fund designed to promote energy-efficiency investments in the Eastern Partnership countries such as Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. The E5P grants mainly support the following sectors: district heating, solid waste management, street lighting, local transport and the insulation of public buildings.

I made the disastrous mistake of accidentally reading today's Islamophobic diatribe from Franklin Graham (how did this show up in my newsfeed? I *blocked* all FG posts ages ago!?).
But instead of getting mad at him or losing my shit over the comments (because seriously – my head pops off and fire erupts **exactly like** on InsideOut, which is the most emotionally accurate film ever made – don't even try to debate me on this.), I scrolled through comments, careful NOT to read them, and prayed a blessing on each Image Bearer who commentstands either in solidarity against Muslims, or against those who're against Muslims.
Because listen: Scared people don't need to be yelled at or berated. They don't need to be mocked. They don't even hear it.

Please assist me with the following question :
One "G" of acceleration is the rate at which an object will accelerate if it is dropped near the Earth's surface, ignoring air resistance. One "G" of force is the force necessary to generate one G of acceleration (although "G" is not an official SI unit of force).
Suppose you built a rocket-powered dragster which could produce a constant acceleration, for a few seconds, that was similar to the acceleration that Cmdr Shepard experienced for the first several minutes of his flight.
On one pass, your dragster produces a constant acceleration of exactly 5.97 G's throughout the whole race.
How fast would your dragster be going at the end of a drag strip that was exactly 1000 feet long?
Your answer must be in miles/hour.
The work I did so far is:
√2(58.506 m/s²)(1000m) = 342.07016824 m/s² converted to MPH = 765.1892 rounded to 765 MPH

Daylight? Currently the sun sets at 1837 near Mauritius. They reported the crash at 1510UTC. As far as I can figure, Mauritius is UTC+4. Assuming they didn't report the crash immediately, they would have crashed less than a half hour after sunset. Meaning: It wasn't even dark. Scroll down for details and photos.
So we're looking at a pretty well known set of islands. It's around sunset. There is a lighthouse. There are houses and trees. Obviously the navigation failed somehow. The lookout also failed. How about the standard precaution when sailing in unknown waters: Depth alert!?

Maps dating as far back as the 1830s shows a small creek in an area east of San Antonio that dumps into Martinez Creek just northeast of St. Hedwig. The name of the creek, according to those early maps, was "Arroyo de la Llorona." This translates to "Woman Moaning Creek" or "Wailing Woman." Anyone driving on Interstate 10 towards Seguin from San Antonio will cross over what is officially known as "Woman Hollering Creek."
The legend of Woman Hollering Creek has joined the ranks of The Donkey Lady, Gunter Hotel Ghost of Room 636, The Headless Statue Near the San Antonio Zoo, The Unholy Matrimony Murder, and The Butcher of Elmendorf as some of the most chilling Texas stories and myths.
In 1981, I considered purchasing land a block north of the highway and along the creek, but couldn't get over the name of the still water. Curious, I asked locals why it was called "Woman Hollow Creek" (later it was changed to Hollering) and received various versions. All of them were creepy and I decided against buying the acreage.
The most reasonable versions are best established with verifiable history.
It didn't take long for over 30,000 Anglo and Hispanic settlers to colonize in Texas after Stephen F. Austin was provided a Spanish land grant in the 1820s. When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1921, they stepped up the recruiting of Americans to settle in their northern provinces. It would help them conquer the different Indian tribes who fought to defend their grounds.
The first large settlement west of the Colorado River was Gonzales, established by Empresario Green DeWitt in 1925 as the capital for his colony. Within two years the town had to resettle to another location nearby because of repeated Indian raids.
Deaf Smith brought his family to the Cibolo River, near present day La Vernia after he received a Mexican land grant in 1825. The year of 1836 was historical as the new colonial outpost of Fort Parker was completed about the time the Alamo fell in San Antonio. More Europeans started coming in and after the battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto, veterans of the wars of Independence from Mexico began to join them.
Thousands of women and children continued to be kidnapped or killed…to be used as slaves, for bartering, held for ransom, or groomed to be wives…
But the colonists came at great human cost. Thousands of women and children continued to be kidnapped or killed by Native Indians to be used as slaves, for bartering, held for ransom, or groomed to be wives and family members. During the battle of Fort Parker, many of the defending militia was killed as Comanche took two women and three children as captives. The name "Comanche" became synonymous with the term "terrorism" from Oklahoma to Mexico City. By the time Sam Houston was elected a second time as President of Texas, there were literally thousands of hostages still remaining in captivity.
Within 30 years, there were less than 8,000 Indians and 600,000 Anglo colonists in Texas. But because of the Civil War, the US Army relocated so many soldiers away from southwest Texas that many of the Anglo and Hispanic settlements were forced back over 100 miles east and north.
Even by the 1870s attacks were frequent. One story from Texas Hill Country history notes that Sarah Kincheloe, a daughter of William Ware, was pierced by 12 arrows during an Indian raid at her frontier home. She handed a gun to a neighbor, a Mrs. Bowlin, to continue the defense just before she collapsed from her wounds. The Indians overcame the defense, burst into the house and shot Bowlin through the heart.
"John, I think I can live."
When the Indians left, thinking both the women were dead, the children came out of their hiding places and found their mothers dying. The eight-year-old son of Kincheloe ran two and a half miles to his Uncle John Ware's house. When Ware hurried to the scene he found Bowlin dead. He looked at Sarah, who simply said, "John, I think I can live."
John Connelly, a resident who lives about two miles from Woman Hollering Creek, grew up in the location. He says "the story is early settlers to the area came under attack by natives and murdered. Scalped, (the mother) walks the creek looking for her family. Screaming Woman Creek, the natives would not go back to the site."
Another version says the mother drowned her own child (or children) in the creek. Today she is often heard weeping–wailing at night for the children she lost. Some say many drowning have taken place in the area because the ghost of the mother pulls people into the water. Yet another story suggests a distraught mother drowned her children after her husband was brutally killed by Indians. Fearing her children might suffer a similar fate, she drowned them instead. Some believe that her spirit wanders along the creek, sobbing and crying for her lost children.
Her husband and other men from the settlement pursued the Indians, but were outnumbered and couldn't rescue the woman.
Ruben Hernandez lived in Universal City, just outside the front gate to Randolph Air Force Base, for over 50 years. He took his grandchildren fishing on the small ponds that are the source of Woman Hollering Creek. Hernandez said he "would not confuse 'hollering' with 'weeping' as the legend of La Llorona implies."
"The legend of Woman Hollering Creek is totally different, Hernandez said. "The old folks in the Universal City area have told me that the woman 'hollering' was actually a pioneer woman who went to the creek to either get water or to wash clothes and was attacked by Indians, thus she 'hollered' or yelled for help. A friend whose family owned a ranch for many years on Lower Seguin Rd, about 1/2 mile from the creek's source, vouched for the story several years ago. I passed the legend on to my grandchildren as we netted minnows at the source of the creek."
C. F. Eckhardt, from nearby Seguin tells of the local story that "dates back to the period of the Republic. Supposedly a woman from a local settlement was kidnapped by Indians, possibly Comanche. Her husband and other men from the settlement pursued the Indians, but were outnumbered and couldn't rescue the woman. She was raped, tortured, and then murdered on the banks of the creek. The husband and his party could hear her screaming but were unable to help her. Supposedly her screams can still be heard on occasion."

Brilliant, and so well timed! I've been looking for a good enchilada recipe that had easy to find ingredients so that I could make it with my dad. He loves Mexican, and is living in Germany most days, so it would be a welcome change of pace (we cook together via Skype- Ah, the wonders of technology...) Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete

This is an interactive way to learn about the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.
What is so magical about the decimal number system? Why is the number ten so important? It must be deeper than the number of fingers on our two hands: there are so many areas of ancient and/or mystical teachings that rely on groupings of the order of ten (the most obvious in my mind being the Kabbalistic Tree of Life). The one of particular interest for this article, however, is a system that arose in the last century. It may be much more ancient, but I have not determined its origins. I am referring to the numerological system of "life purpose" as revealed by Dan Millman in The Life You Were Born to Live.
I write this mere glimpse of an article solely to trap myself into the act of freeing myself. That is, I am creating accountability for myself by announcing to the world that I have no choice but to log my journey in the form of writing. It was revealed to me weeks ago that my spiritual journey may encounter endless blockages until I free my creative energy by the self-expression of writing. I resisted this epiphany for over a month, but fortunately the Spirit was persistent, continually declaring the same message an infinite number of ways. Several of the infinite ways I finally chose to perceive, and my threshold of acknowledgement was breached this morning.
Like the classic "Christian Liberty" concept where rules can create freedom, in a more generalized sense, discipline enables freedom of choice in one's life.
The total number of decisions you will make in any struggle does not increase; your chance of success in realizing your goals is directly proportionate to the ratio of conscious decisions to subconscious decisions.
If you seem to be going nowhere in life, you probably make very few conscious decisions. Life just seems to happen to you. However, the only major factor in this passive role in life is the amount of conscious control over decisions you make (heavily related to the concept of awareness). Nothing can remove the need to make a decision once confronted with the choice. But if you are not aware of your opportunity to consciously decide your action (and hence influence the outcome), you will simply let your subconscious decide, which inevitable results in action based on past habits — and rarely based on good habits.
Your lifelong process of development must occur in cycles. These cycles must progress in the following order until death: theory, practice, theory, practice, etc. If this concept does not change your life, you either already knew it (and hence understand and utilize it), or you just didn't understand it fully upon reading it.

Today on World Homeless Day many different organisations and advocates will call upon the public to recognise and respond to the condemning statistics of homelessness in London and elsewhere around the world. Many will discuss the different ways in which we can address homelessness, such as providing emergency relief services, handing out food, offering temporary shelter, and increasing public awareness. Such activities are without a doubt important to relieving homelessness, however there are other services that are often overlooked and underappreciated for helping those in need. In particular, the practice of art and art therapy.
Since the mid twentieth century art has been recognised as therapeutic process. For those who are suffering, art can be significantly healing and life-enhancing. Practising art contributes to emotional effects on many levels: it can help to explore feelings, reconcile emotions, manage behaviour and addictions, develop social skills, reduce anxiety and increase self-esteem. Many who are homeless or vulnerably housed tend to struggle with depression, emotional issues, long-term addictions and social anxieties. Through art therapy, those who are homeless are able to better grapple with their personal situations, distract themselves from sadness, and restore a sense a personal well-being.
In London a small group of homeless artists have been meeting together for years, once a week in Fitzrovia. In the past twelve months, the group has taken off, calling themselves 'ARTFitzrovia'. A year ago today Generation C Magazine published a photo exhibition, featuring photos taken by different members of the group. Attention from the exhibition has helped the group to grow, not only in number of artists but in number of supporters as well. Last month the group held its first public exhibition at the Coningsby Gallery. The exhibition "Drop, drop makes lake" featured works from eight different artists. In the four days it was open several people came in to view the art and over a third of the work was sold. In so many ways the exhibition was a great milestone for the members. It allowed them to see other people admiring and appreciating their work; to speak with others about their personal emotional processes in creating their pieces; and to make a small financial profit from their work. Most importantly, it helped to improve their self-esteem and sense of dignity.
ARTFitzrovia continues to grow as a place of hope and escape from the every drudgeries of life. Today on World Homeless Day, it is important to remember the value that art has, in particular for those most in need.

"If you set yourself to it, you can live the same life, rich or poor. You can keep on with your books and your ideas. You just got to say to yourself, "I'm a free man in here" - he tapped his forehead - "and you're all right."
