What do the hand-held notes of a worrying pregnancy for a chronic worrier look like? This: 👇🏻
While I'm know I'm incredibly lucky that my notes haven't been slapped with a big "high risk" sticker, like some of my friends, the journey behind these stickers have caused no end of panic and stress for someone who worries a lot, like me.
At 30 weeks, on May Bank Holiday, our normally very wriggly baby stopped moving. All day. I tried everything that he/she normally responds to, such as drinking water, lying on my left side, and even playing The Greatest Showman soundtrack (the kid has excellent taste in music!) but nothing. I was terrified and after a call to my antenatal unit, was told to come in and be monitored. Thankfully, and by sheer Sod's law, baby started kicking up a storm as soon as we arrived and, feeling better, I was sent on my way.
Then, 6 days later, it happened again. This time, after being monitored and ascertaining that baby was fine, I was sent for a scan the next day to check cord blood flow and fluid around the baby. Thankfully, these also came back fine.
Then a week after the second period of reduced movement, baby stopped moving again. So back in I went for more monitoring and scans, which again all came back fine, and my midwife put it down to baby hiding behind my anterior placenta/being a contrary little sod.
Then not long after, my midwife rang to say that a routine urine test at my last appointment had shown I had Group B Strep. I didn't know much about it except that it can be fatal to babies, so naturally I was terrified.
As it turns out, about 1 in 5 women carries Group B Strep, and it's not normally picked up as it's not routinely tested for on the NHS because it's rarely a problem unless it is passed on to the baby. If it is, then it can cause sepsis, pneumonia, or worse.
Thankfully the doctors assured me that the important thing is that they know about it, so both me and baby will be protected as much as possible. I would just need intravenous antibiotics during labour, 4 hours apart, and baby would be monitored for around 24 hours after birth, and as long as we get at least one dose of antibiotics at least 2 hours before birth, there was just a 1 in 3,000 chance that baby would get it. But my anxieties haven't stopped me worrying that our baby will be poorly, or worse, and because I'm the carrier, that it will be all my fault. I may have even had it with Isla, but as it comes and goes, I'll never know.
But when I posted about GBS in one of my mummy Facebook groups, I had a huge amount of reassuring comments from other mums (over 70!) who all said they'd tested positive, had antibiotics, and both had been totally fine. It seems that the most important thing is that it's picked up, so the doctors can treat it.
At least some good has come out of my worrying pregnancy – a good friend of mine has ordered a private test for Group B Strep (it's not offered on the NHS) and as many of my friends had never even heard of it, it also feels good to be spreading the word about it.
It does beg the question though – if it can be life threatening for babies, why aren't mums routinely screened for it? Mine was picked up in a standard urine test, so how hard could it be to just make it a routine check if it means babies' lives are saved!?

WELLINGTON: Kraigg Brathwaite was eyeing his seventh century as he led the West Indies survival effort after Tom Blundell's debut ton put New Zealand in a seemingly unbeatable position in the first Test in Wellington yesterday.
Brathwaite was unbeaten on 79 as the tourists reached 214 for two at stumps on day three. Shai Hope was not out 21.
After trailing by 386 on the first innings, they still requiring a further 172 runs to make New Zealand bat again.
The target appeared monumental, but Brathwaite has the memory of the West Indies' last tour of New Zealand to know it is not impossible.
In the first Test on the 2013 tour they were 396 in arrears when forced to follow-on. A Marlon Samuels double century took them to 507 in their second innings on the fifth day and New Zealand ran out of time chasing a target of 112 to win.
Brathwaite, who was on that tour but not required for that Test, played confidently against the New Zealand attack.
He featured in a 72-run partnership with Kieran Powell (40) for the first wicket, a 94-run stand with Shimron Hetmyer (66) for the second wicket and has added a further 48 with Hope. Hetmyer, only 20 and playing just his fourth Test, easily bettered his previous best 25 against Pakistan seven months ago.

Sunday 19 June 2011- It's a scorcher today, early morning and the temperature is already 29 degrees. I eat breakfast on the balcony overlooking the garden, as Poly Styrene sings Virtual Boyfriend, from her 2011 album Generation Indigo: (Thanks to Lowri). I take the rubbish out to the comune bin and on my way back I stop to look at the walnuts on the tree outside Ada's, they're coming along nicely.
Before it gets too hot, I water the plants outside in pots, something I guess is a continuous practice over here. Ada's cats watch me, always on the look out for a free feed. Heathcliffe and Whisper are very close and are always rubbing up against each other, Benny however is very much the outsider. I'm washing the breakfast dishes when I hear a mew at the front door, it's Benny. I give the poor mite some ham, which I've chopped up into small pieces as he has doesn't have many teeth..
I decide today is a day for just relaxing, so I sit outside with my book. However, quickly I tire of Bill Bryson and his plodding dialogue, so he's discarded and put on the bookshelf between a Patterson and Grisham. I turn off the iPod, lock up and take a walk. I head off up the track, pass Domenico's olive trees and the ruins hidden by the ever encroaching undergrowth. Butterflies of every size and colour flit from flower to flower, oblivious of me, as the crickets and grasshoppers buzz and click. poking their heads through a tangle of dried grass is, Arisaema triphyllum or as it's commonly known Parson in the Pulpit it's maturing seeds turning red.
When I get back home, Baleno is waiting at the gate, I give her some ham and she snoozes, safe behind the fence. As she sleeps I prepare my lunch; a ham salad. I'm halfway through my meal when it strikes me that something is missing, yes I've forgotten to put the tomato in the salad bowl: What's going on, first the pizza now the salad, have I developed culinary Alzheimer's disease?
The afternoon passes by slowly, music shuffles and I mooch about just relaxing. I get a call on Skype from my parents; my mother is a little perplexed by the technology. I take another stroll, this time down to the bottom of the lane, I pass the house where Rosa, la strega della borgo: (the witch of the village) lives, outside is a flowering mimosa tree, it's fluffy pink tufts looking as delicate as spun sugar.
I continue on to the bend in the lane where there's three crosses made in concrete, maybe it's a war memorial? I don't know, it's old and there's a space where maybe years ago there was a plaque, however now it stands lonely and forgotten.
I walk back, open a bottle of chilled prosecco, and prepare dinner. The potatoes are roasting and the veg is ready when suddenly I jump up from my chair and shout, "Bugger, the chicken." Now before anyone complains, this isn't an ancient rural pastime: look at where I've placed the comma. I've forgotten to put the chicken into the oven. Looks like I do have a case of culinary Alzheimer's after all.

Phillip Wollen is someone very special. He is a big man with a big heart and most importantly he's BIG on vision. Phil is a 59 year old Merchant Banker, OAM, Queens Birthday Honors 2005, Australian of the Year Victoria 2007 and Founder of The Winsome Constance Kindness Trust (WCKT) www.kindnesstrust.com . Phil and his partner Trix work tirelessly to help those in need and sponsor over 200 non profit organizations around the world. When Phil founded the WCKT he stated it had five fingers, namely, "Children, Animals, the Ill, the Environment and Aspiring Youth".
This passion, alongside WCKT's first core belief: "Act. Don't react. See a need, fix it first. Worry about the details later. If you wait until you are asked you have just missed a golden opportunity. They are fleeting and rare." sums up Phil as a man of action who has all bases covered!
Q What made you become vegan and when?
Phil: I was the merchant banker whose favourite meal was filet mignon and lobster. Around twelve years ago I was mandated to act for a large corporate client and visited one of their main subsidiaries. It turned out to be a slaughterhouse. And I had never seen a slaughterhouse before. My blood ran cold. This didn't just turn me into a vegetarian. It turned me into a genuinely compassionate human being. Anybody who eats the murdered carcass of an innocent animal cannot claim to be compassionate - not with a straight face anyway.
The slaughterhouse turned my life around. I ultimately became vegan eight years ago when I saw what happens to millions of chickens - their beaks burned off, millions of tiny male chicks being hurled to their death into grinders, premature calves being deliberately induced and being killed by crushing to death. It is a crime of unimaginable proportions. It is so tiresome to still hear the hideous lies and self delusion from those who profit from this ghastly trade.
I am a vegan because I love life in all its forms. The life of a human necrovore is not a life. It is a life sentence. Short, nasty, and brutish.
Q What's your favourite meal?
Phil: Trix is the best vegan cook in Australia - so anything she cooks is a banquet!
Q What do you cook the best, do you have a favourite recipe you'd like to share?
Phil: Mexican Beans I do quite well, here is the recipe
1 can 4 Bean Mix (rinse well)
1 stick of celery
½ yellow capsicum
½ red capsicum
1 onion roughly cut
1 tbsp of good quality mild curry powder
1 dessert spoon soynaise (vegan mayonnaise)
cooked rice for two people
Put a dash of oil in the pan, add onion celery and capsicum
stir fry a few minutes (don't let the veggies get too soft or soggy)
Slide vegies to the side of the pan and add curry powder
fry the curry powder for 30 seconds
add the beans and cooked rice – continue to stir fry
add Soynaise and stir fry some more until all ingredients are well mixed
This is delicious hot or cold or as a side salad or in a wrap. It lasts about 3-4 days in the fridge
Q Are many of your family and friends vegans?
Phil: Yes my closest family are all vegan and 90% of my friends are vegan or vegetarian
Q What makes you happy?
Phil: Using the word ahimsa in a speech or saying the 'V' word without getting a blank stare. When someone actually "gets it" is a great feeling. And best of all is unexpectedly finding time to spend with Trix and not having the phone or email to interrupt.
Q What do you do to relax and unwind?
Phil: Meditation, music, and reading.
Q How do you keep fit?
Phil: Golf; long walks with our four rescued dogs; Pilates, and the physical work of running Kindness House www.kindnesstrust.com/KindnessHouse.html
Q Do you have a favourite movie/book/blog that inspired you that you'd like to share
Phil: The simplest book of all - by John Waddell But You Kill Ants; Gary Francione's Rain Without Thunder; The Abolitionist website www.abolitionistapproach.com] ; Singer's A Companion of Ethics and I recommend the films: Earthlings, Peaceable Kingdom and A Delicate Balance.
Q Do you have a favourite restaurant?
Phil: yes right down the street from Kindness House - The Vegie Bar www.vegiebar.com.au located at 380 Brunswick St Fitzroy VIC 3065.
Q What's been the best part of being a vegan?
Phil: Being able to look in the mirror without feeling profoundly ashamed.
Q Have you found any difficulties being vegan?
Phil: Being vegan is the easiest thing in the world! I think you asked precisely the wrong question. You should have asked "have you found any difficulties being a necrovore?". And then I could have written several books on this particular subject without pausing for breath. I would find being a necrovore utterly impossible!!
Q Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Phil: We now know beyond any shadow of doubt that the livestock industry releases more greenhouse gases than cars, trains, buses, ships, planes all put together - by a country mile.
We now know that meat and milk are four letter words for good reason. They kill. These noxious products are grossly inefficient sources of food for a hungry planet. They are profligate wasters of precious drinking water. They are indescribably cruel. And they are horrendous polluters of our rivers and oceans.
Clearly, it is no longer (just) an animal rights issue. It is a social justice issue. Make no mistake about it. Every morsel of meat we eat is slapping the tear stained face of a hungry child.
Unfortunately, flaccid governments are influenced by lobbyists who don't care if our planet ends up in a ditch, as long as they get to drive. So we continue this ludicrous charade of governments pretending to be concerned about jobs - and caving in to the industry with subsidies for low paid jobs for unskilled work. So much for being the clever country.
But the writing is on the wall. Intelligent people are fast learning that this planet is being trashed by an industry that is well past its use by date. The Stone Age did not end because we ran out of stones. The meat industry will end because we run out of excuses.
meet more vegans
There are 7 billion humans on the planet but a staggering 140 Billion animals are slaughtered every year for human consumption! And did you know that Global livestock production causes more greenhouse gas emissions than all transport put together:

a client owns a car rental company in the island of Crete in Greece. He had several sites designed for his business and most of them are identical mirrors of the same site.
The client wants to have one of his sites rank in top 5 (1-5) positions in google for the keyword phrases "car rental Crete", "Crete car rental", "car rental Crete", "Crete car rentals".
You will work with one site only but you may use the other ones (mirrors) if that will help you in your effort for better search engine placement. You will have full access to the server for as long as it is necessary, so that you can modify the text in the pages. You will also work closely with the web designer who will redesign the site, in order to optimize the new design for better search engine placement.
The client needs results and his term is that he will NOT pay unless he gets the top 5 ranking in [url removed, login to view]
I understand that this is a very strict term but he is determined about that. The client is willing to pay a fixed fee when the top5 ranking will be achieved plus a monthly maintenance fee for as long as his ranking remains the same (1-5) or improves.
Please do not post any more offers to this project. The client asked that the project is "frozen" for a few months and it will be re-opened later this year.
Thank you all for your offers and I hope we will be able to continue this after a few months.

To evaluate the influence of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the anterior corneal optical density and the refractive index. Little is known about the effect on the anterior corneal surface when the eye is exposed to enhanced oxygen concentration and pressure.
16 patients (32 eyes) were receiving 100% oxygen at a pressure of 240 kPa in a monoplace chamber for 90 min daily. Anterior corneal optical density was measured with the densitometry program of the Pentacam Scheimpflug imaging system (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH) at baseline and repeated after completed 19 days of treatment. The 180-degree rotating Scheimpflug camera captures optical density data according to the light scattering intensity of the anterior cornea. The density measurement values are standardized from 0 (no clouding) to 100 (tissue completely opaque). The Gladstone-Dale constant was calculated at baseline by using the Gladestone-Dale formula, the mean anterior corneal optical density value, and a refractive index of 1.376 of the normal human cornea.
Mean anterior corneal optical density and refractive index were 26.05 ± 1.48 and 1.376 (normal human cornea) at baseline, and 26.43 ± 1.48 and 1.381 ± 0.02 after 19 days of treatment (p < 0.15). The resultant Gladestone-Dale constant was 0.014. No change in corneal transparency was revealed by the biomicroscope slitlamp.
No significant change in anterior corneal optical density and refractive index were present after the hyperbaric oxygen therapy, only a small increase from baseline appeared.

Paintings from thirty years
in retrospect - especially from far-away Haiti – many paintings seem new and powerful. In five
years, this country and its people have deeply inspired me. But it mercilessly robbed me of sleep, inner peace, energy,
and sometimes even my self-esteem. What I do take with me is a whole new world and the bliss of having been here.

Notes from the Border
Pauline McKean
Ms. McKean spent three days on the Arizona-Mexico border this spring exploring the issues and realities of border migration.
The Hun School will offer a similar trip for students in the fall of 2017.
Meet Kevin
: When I first saw Kevin, he was standing outside the
(soup kitchen), curls sticking out from his baseball hat and head bobbing in rhythm with the music pumping from his headphones, while he waited for the morning meal to be served. Kevin had just been deported to Nogales, Mexico after illegally trying to enter the United States.
Kevin, age 17, amicably shared his story with me. He left his parents and seven brothers and sisters behind in Honduras in the hope of finding work in the U.S. with plans to send money back to his family. Nearly 65% of Honduras' population lives in poverty and the country has one of the highest murder rates in the world. Like many other Central American migrants, Kevin hopped
La Bestia
, the notorious trans-Mexican freight train, in order to avoid getting caught by Mexican border agents. He spent five nights on top of the train, with little food, and alternately freezing in the rain and baking in the sun. And then, he got caught trying to cross into the U.S. Almost 4,000 miles from home, with no money left; Kevin had no idea what his next steps might be.
Kevin's was just one of a multitude of stories I heard while participating in the Kino Border Initiative, an experiential education program aiming to provide a holistic view of border and immigration issues along Arizona-Mexico border. I had heard about such programs and always wanted to learn more about them with the goal of providing the opportunity for Hun students to participate. So, when I was invited to join a group of students from St. Ignatius Prep in Cleveland, OH on their journey, I jumped at the chance.
: HAC stands for Humanize, Accompany, and Confuse: the goals of The Kino Border Initiative program. Participants spend time with migrants, asylum seekers, and ranchers living on the border, listening to their stories and learning about the complexities of immigration and border issues. They do this through visits to the
in Mexico, which serves recently deported migrants, talking with folks at a women's shelter, and sharing a potluck lunch with ranchers who live on the frontlines of these issues. Other activities include walking on migrant trails in the desert, observing criminal prosecution proceedings in a Tucson court, and lots of time for reflection.
According to organizers at Kino, "The trip is intended to humanize the immigration issue and to recognize its complexity, while emphasizing accompaniment of people on their journey." And, if you walk away from the experience with more questions than answers, they feel they have done their job!
Red dots and gallons of water
: While waiting to serve dinner at the
, I found myself staring at a map of southern Arizona that was covered in red dots. As I translated the Spanish, I realized that the dots represented human remains. During the past sixteen years, over 3,000 migrants have died in the deserts of southern Arizona. The map was created by the organization, Humane Borders, which maintains a system of water stations in the desert on routes used by migrants in the hopes of saving people from death by dehydration and exposure. They believe, "Border crossing may be illegal... but it shouldn't be a death sentence." The map at the
included the warnings, "Don't go. There isn't enough water. It's not worth it!"
Meet Yessenia:
The next day I sat with Yessenia as she shared her story. Threatened, persecuted, and assaulted in El Salvador for being gay, Yessenia rode atop
La Bestia
through Mexico, crossed into the U.S., and was separated from her group in the desert. Having consumed the last of her water days prior, she was in mortal danger when she stumbled upon one of these lifesaving water stations. While there is much more to Yessenia's journey, when we met her, she was one step closer to being granted asylum in the U.S.
There's so much more to my experience on the border, like finding items left behind by migrants as we walked in their footsteps in the desert, and the ubiquitous border patrol helicopters and vehicles, and the rancher who had a crate of marijuana dropped at the end of her driveway from an Ultralight plane. And, I will happily share with anyone who has the time and interest to listen. Not a day goes by that I don't think about my time on the border and the people I met there. The Kino Border Experience is educational, confusing, and powerful. I'm excited that next fall The Hun School will offer a student trip! We will share information on that opportunity once we have the details in place.

Not the Only Avenue: Pinchas Wolhendler
There was one aspect of your article on chassidic revival and the follow-up this past week that bothered me. In my opinion, the article, and Rabbi Weinberger's rebuttal of Rabbi Shafran, give one the impression that chassidus is all Yiddishkeit has to offer. Anyone not learning sifrei chassidus and "pnimiyus" is a cold, dry Litvak doing mitzvas anashim melumadah, with no feeling or kavanah whatsoever.
This is completely untrue. Rav Hershele Spinka ztz"l once said: "Everything that you'll find in all of the chassidishe seforim can be found in the Chovos Halevavos." It is true that many people are inspired from learning chassidus, but to say that there is nothing out there for a spiritual seeker other than chassidus is going a bit far in my opinion.
There are hundreds of chassidish bochurim in litvish yeshivos. Are you saying that it's a yeridah for them, that they're abandoning places of avodas Hashem for spiritual deserts?
I once heard a powerful story from a chassidish mashpia. He said that the Baal Shem Tov was a tzaddik yesod olam and a baal ruach hakodesh, but so was the Gra ztz"l. So how can it be that the Baal Shem Tov felt chassidus is so important, while the Gra opposed it so strongly?
The mashpia answered: Both the Baal Shem Tov and the Gra had a vision of the future generations. The Besht was shown a modern world without chassidus. "This is terrible!" he said, and immediately hastened to establish the chassidic movement. The Gra was shown the future with chassidus. "This is terrible!" he said, and immediately hastened to oppose the new movement.
I do not mean to chas v'shalom disparage the chassidic movement. I myself am a born-and-bred chassid and learn chassidishe seforim seriously. But the article seemed a little bit too over-dramatized, and I heard a tone of condescension toward our heilige yeshivish brothers, which I feel needs to be protested.
Confusing the Icing for the Cake: Shmuli Berglas
As an avreich who enjoys Rav Moshe Weinberger's shiurim on the seforim hakedoshim, I cannot help but express my thoughts on the recent article "Meeting the Baal Shem Tov in 2018."
While this new movement that is sweeping the Jewish world seems to be reason for excitement, is it unreasonable to be nervous for those boys who are not yet committed to the struggle of Gemara, as they may confuse the icing with the cake and settle for less — claiming to have found a cheilek in Torah that does not involve Ravina and Rav Ashi?
Of course there are those who by first tasting the icing will be led to the cake. But we should not turn a blind eye to those who will eat only the icing and be left bewildered as to why they suffer stomachaches and are still hungry. Won't teaching the seforim hakedoshim for an almost instant spiritual lift, before enforcing the primary importance of Shas, only reinforce the negative notion that many boys hold — that Gemara is "bad" for them, and if they involve themselves with it they will surely be "failing"?
Because the neshamah's desire for deveikus is so real and because the yetzer often "fakes us out," won't statements like, "Do you know how much ameilus is needed to truly understand a piece of Likutei Moharan?" and "feeling spiritual is better than feeling bad," although possibly true, confuse these boys and give them the excuse they have been waiting for to close their Gemara instead of embracing its challenge? And don't we know that without the Gemara, the "spirituality" they will find will not be the real, lasting connection their neshamos crave?
If It Strengthens Your Gemara Learning: Elchonon Ebert, Doylestown, PA
Many years ago I started learning Tanya. I had started by learning Nefesh HaChaim. My friend Rav Moshe Soloveitchik told me his uncle Rav Yoshe Ber ztz"l had said that in order to understand Nefesh HaChaim one must learn Tanya, as it was written as a counterbalance to Tanya. I became enamored with Tanya but realized that it would lead me to become further attached to limud chassidus.
So I called my rosh yeshivah, Rav Shmuel Berenbaum ztz"l, with whom I was very close, and asked him whether I should continue. He answered, "If it will strengthen your Gemara learning, then continue."
Subsequently when I would go into New York for fabrengens, I would feel an achrayus to stop in the Mirrer Yeshivah to talk in learning with the rosh yeshivah.
For over 20 years, the Rosh Yeshivah was my guest on Chol Hamoed Succos and I'd watch him looking through some sifrei chassidus. I guarantee that the Rosh Yeshivah was not a proponent of darchei chassidus. He was permeated with Gemara and his shmuessen in yeshivah were based on Chazal and Gemara — and believe me, they lit a fire in those that had the privilege to hear them. It's just that he recognized that for some, chassidus is beneficial.
A Void Left Unfilled: Name Withheld
I attended a typical litvish-style yeshivah about three decades ago. Then and now I thirst for the waters of Torah, which fuel my ruchniyus. I have a very analytical mind, well-suited for yeshivah learning, and indeed I was a top adept learner, scoring top marks on bechinos. I grew from all of my learning, but a void in my heart was left unattended in the mesorah of that learning.
How I wish that my rebbeim had tools in their repository to impart their teachings in a manner that went from their hearts into mine. My heart was so open then to inspiration, and my growth then could have been made greater, had feeling and warmth been infused into the mesorah of the sugyos we learned together and with less of a robotic transmission.
Thirty years later I still miss not receiving any impact beyond the integral impact of the Torah I learned together with my rebbeim in yeshivah. As an adult I've added that impact on my own, but my first choice still would have been to receive it back then.
Rabbi Shafran writes: "We must find ways to awaken them." "Them" also applies to top bochurim like I was. I ask, what is your plan to provide that to your talmidim?
Don't Squander the Basics: Yaakov P.
I found the exchange between Rabbi Shafran and Rabbi Weinberger mesmerizing, and courageous on both their ends. Talmidei chachamim going on record and sharing perspectives is how we're still here, still committed, still thriving, baruch Hashem.
I'd like to weigh in with my experiences, as perhaps they are indicative of the struggles of others. I learned in the classic yeshivos and did nicely, feeling accomplished and successful.
When I went to learn in Eretz Yisrael, in Brisk, I discovered another dimension to life. I saw how someone — anyone, really — could sit down and learn Noam Elimelech after coming out of the mikveh Erev Shabbos, with a face that's shining. I saw people grasping onto the final minutes of Shabbos like a child parting from his parents at the airport. I saw relatively ordinary people get tears in their eyes as they lifted the daled minim for the first time.
I was drawn into the world of Rav Tzvi Meir, then Breslov and Chabad. I danced in Tzfas and my soul came alive at the Vizhnitzer minyan on Leil Shabbos at the Kosel. Everything — a missed bus, a lost wallet, a heat wave — was a cause for joy in Hashem's will. Life was one long string of joy.
I went back to America, hoping to lead a chassidishe life, and together with my wife, we built a home that is not outwardly chassidish, but retains the important elements of this approach.
But I discovered that once the novelty wore off and it became more formal, more institutionalized — where do you daven, which mossad do you send do, what minhag you keep — it felt dry, empty of that liberating exuberance I'd felt in Yerushalayim.
And I discovered something else. Menorah and Shabbos and daled minim are crucial parts of Yiddishkeit, but so is the Ketzos on yiush and the Minchas Chinuch on the melachos and the Brisker Rav on lishmah. To not know them is to live a deprived existence, too. To be unaware of where and how to locate the halachos on borer on Shabbos is to be an am ha'aretz, and no matter how much purity the mikveh makes you feel, it's still no great honor to be an am ha'aretz.
Life is short. Time is valuable. There's lots to learn. Now, at 27, and woefully undereducated, I rue the long days in Tzfas swaying at a holy kever. Sure, there's room for chassidus, but without knowing Torah, you're missing the basics. What good is a flaming heart if the body isn't whole?
A Resounding Yes: Deena Zivarts, Brooklyn, NY
I thoroughly enjoyed Rachel Ginsberg's "Meeting the Baal Shem Tov in 2018" and agree that chassidus and its worldview has been finding its way into the litvish/yeshivish world. I am also an example of this, as I come from a litvish background, but sometimes go to lectures at a local Chabad shul, and have started listening to online shiurim on the Tanya.
As to the question raised in the article of whether dabbling in chassidus is a good thing, my answer is a resounding "yes." More and more, I have been finding that at key moments in my life, bits and pieces of every shiur or piece of Torah that I have ever heard or read will bubble up into my consciousness and provide me with an insight, inspiration, or chizuk just when I need it.
Just as there is no time order to the Torah, our consciousness isn't linear, so those of us who come to the Baal Shem Tov's lessons in a seemingly haphazard way can still gain meaningful information from them.

Office Supplies Online – Maybe You've Pondered Why You Will Want This..Here is Review of JVZOO Product with topseller status.
Abby, that is a math teacher at Lincoln Secondary School in Des Moines, shared a strong message about parents' roles in their children's education on Facebook. Abby posted a photo of some school supplies and told the tale of an encounter he'd had on that day. He explained he was feeling "jaded" while shopping at Walmart after two sets of parents reported to him in the Buy School Supplies Online.
"This is just ridiculous, I don't understand how these teachers think we are supposed to get all this stuff," the mother and father said. "As they complained, they seemed to be oblivious to the truth that my cart was loaded with a category set of all supplies these people were buying … that ought to have already been a pretty clear indication i was among those greedy teachers they were complaining about," Michael wrote in the post.
Later inside the checkout line, a dad before him brightened his day in an unexpected way. The man was buying school supplies with his daughter, and after paying, he considered Michael and handed him a $25 Walmart gift card. "You are a teacher right?" the dad asked. "I simply want to thank you for whatever you do. I view your cart is full with supplies, and i also just desired to help as much as I can."
Michael said he was touched through the heartwarming encounter as well as struck by the contrast between that exchange and what he'd heard earlier from the other parents. He wrote concerning the different messages these parents were sending their kids:
"The kids who heard their parents complaining heard this message: 'School is not important enough to spend money on it, teachers are not to become trusted and have bad judgment, and learning fails to require investment.'
The kid who's dad handed me the gift card heard, 'School is important enough that we should give more than necessary to ensure it is successful, teachers should be respected and valued, and learning requires us passing it on everything we have now.'"
Abby said he understands that money is really tight for many families, who have to battle to buy kids school supplies. "However, as a parent, do the best to send out the right message in your child," he added. "The man [who] gave lbtlvz the gift card not merely made my day, having said that i realize that his daughter will enter the classroom this year using a totally different perspective about her teacher and her education, and that is extremely powerful!"
Michael's post clearly resonated with parents and educators, as it's been shared almost 70,000 times. Though there's significant amounts of debate surrounding school supplies ? particularly with regard to costs and quantities ? many commenters thanked the teacher for your important reminder and perspective. Ultimately, youngsters are not oblivious to the messages adults convey. And with regards to education, these messages can be crucial.

Article by Tom Greaves
Looking for an SEO expert
can sometimes be a difficult task. The problem is that out of the many results
on Google very few SEO experts seem to be able to offer a solid portfolio.
There are many reasons for this, some may simply be starting out freelance,
others may simply not have the skills. So what are some good ways to see if
the SEO expert you plan on hiring meets the specified grade.
The first thing to consider is the site the expert controls, where is it on the serps? If it is dyeing in position 1000, what makes you think they are going to be able to get your site to the top? This is one thing to look at but don't let it totally guide your decision as I stated above, some consultants may have recently gone freelance.
Ensure that any SEO expert you work with uses white hat or ethical techniques, this simply means their practices are in line with the major search engine rules. If not you risk your site being penalised and after this happens it is unlikely you will get it re indexed.
Make sure the start of any service starts with an optimisation review. This will consist of site diagnosis and offers of further services, all with the intention of improving your sites visibility. This should be done before any SEO work can be carried out.
Make sure you look to compare prices and if you decide to go with a more expensive SEO expert be sure you are being provided with a better and more effective service. A lot of companies charge more based on a big client portfolio, where as a consultant who is newly established may be able to offer as an effective service for half the price.
Make sure you hire an expert that can manage your full campaign and not just link building, or on page optimisation. These type of SEO experts tend to deliver more efficient results as they will cover all the potential needs of your site. Also make sure once you agree to pay that the terms of the contract are set out, for example the term, the amount and end product. By the end product I don't mean an estimated position within Google or traffic figures as no one can guarantee this. By 'final product' I mean, increase in links, increase in serps rankings, increase in keywords and increase in traffic.
Finding an expert can be tricky and sometimes those with the bigger portfolio do not always give the most value for money, so shop around and ensure you are happy working with the consultant and that he or she is clear about your site needs.

By Abhijit Mohanty*, Niyamgiri Hills, Odisha
The Dongria Kondhs of Odisha, one of India's vulnerable tribal groups, have been living in the foothills of the Niyamgiri hill range—which spans across Rayagada and Kalahandi districts—for centuries. It is one of the most important biodiversity hotspots in the Eastern Ghats and to the tribal residents, it is their supreme god (they refer to the range as Niyam Raja).
The region has witnessed a history of struggle by Dongria communities to protect the Niyamgiri range from Vedanta Resources, a London-based company that was awarded a contract to mine bauxite from the hills. From the beginning, the Dongrias resisted the proposal as Niyamgiri is their source of livelihood. Thanks to the support and solidarity from community-based organisations, civil society and international agencies, the Supreme Court of India gave a historic verdict in favour of the Dongrias, banning Vedanta's mining project.
The region has witnessed a history of struggle by Dongria communities to protect the Niyamgiri range from Vedanta Resources, a London-based company.
While the Dongrias' resistance against mining got wide public attention, the other problems they face go unnoticed. Traditional crops such as millets, pulses and tubers, and the wild harvests from the forests that have ensured their food security for centuries, are on the verge of extinction. An influx of outsiders has resulted in the introduction of hybrid crops and chemicals to the hinterlands.
The Dongrias' once self-sufficient agricultural system that relied on local resources has been affected by the introduction of commercial high-yielding paddy. High-yielding crop varieties have resulted in the loss of numerous indigenous varieties with important traits. The result is that the Dongrias have become dependent on commercial seed suppliers.
Reviving indigenous crops
Now, after involving the community, landraces and uncultivated food systems are being revived to ensure the food and nutrition security of the Dongrias.
Susanta Dalai, a development professional who lives among the Dongrias to understand their low carbon lifestyle, encouraged them to revive indigenous crops to ensure food sovereignty and to build their resilience against climate change.
As part of sensitising the Dongria on the importance of preserving indigenous crops, open village days were organised. These gave them a platform to discuss, share knowledge and raise awareness about crop diversity, preservation and multiplication of endangered seed varieties. Farmers from neighbouring villages were invited to observe the demonstration plots.
The emphasis was on in-situ conservation of landraces. The Dongrias were sensitised on the importance of preserving and cultivating landraces in their fields. Regular use of indigenous crops, and involving farmers in crop improvement and plant breeding, has now resulted in crop diversity.
We don't need GM crops like golden rice when we have naturally bio-fortified crops such as pulses and millets.Susanta Dalai
Kala mali phulo is a lowland, drought-tolerant and flood-resistant indigenous paddy variety. "No extra irrigation is required to grow kala mali phulo. Rain water is sufficient, and it's a three-month crop. It can be stored for long periods. It has good germination power," Kurmali Majhi, a farmer, told VillageSquare.in.
According to Ghana Majhi, a Dongria farmer of Sindhbahal village, his family used to grow 12 varieties of millet. Farmers like him are now being encouraged to revive their traditional practices such as mixed cropping and inter-cropping of pulses besides growing finger, pearl, kodo, proso, little, barnyard and foxtail millets. "Pulses and millets need less water and maintenance, but have high yield, ensuring food and nutritional security. We don't need GM crops like golden rice when we have naturally bio-fortified crops such as pulses and millets," said Susanta Dalai.
Farmers produce grain and seed, while maintaining landraces that are suited to the local conditions.
"We usually reserve a part of the harvest to be used as seed for the next season. We also exchange varieties of seeds with neighbouring farmers," Raibari Sisaka informed VillageSquare.in. Thus farmers produce grain and seed, while maintaining landraces that are suited to the local conditions. Eight years after starting their conservation efforts, the Dongrias have revived many indigenous crops.
Nutritional security from uncultivated foods
Many wild plant species serve as important sources of protein, fats, vitamins and minerals. Dalai is working on promoting conservation and rational use of wild food plants once found abundantly in the region.
We collect flowers, fruits, tubers, leaves, stems, seeds, wild mushrooms, tamarind, bamboo shoots and edible insects from the forest.Nelai Majhi
Throughout Niyamgiri, uncultivated plants provide a vital source of livelihood for the Dongrias. "Uncultivated plants have multifunctional roles which add diversity to the indigenous food system, reinforce local culture and contribute diversity to farming systems. They are equally important for ensuring food, nutrition, social, and economic security," said Susanta Dalai.
"We collect flowers, fruits, tubers, leaves, stems, seeds, wild mushrooms, tamarind, bamboo shoots and edible insects from the forest," Nelai Majhi, a Dongria woman, told VillageSquare.in. For instance, the leaves of the mahua tree provide fodder while the flowers are used to make jaggery, liquor or porridge. The fruits are cooked and consumed as a savoury dish. The seed is crushed to yield cooking oil and the residual cake is a valuable manure for farm crops.
But over the years, due to unrestrained logging in Niyamgiri, the forest cover is decreasing at an alarming rate. After a series of awareness campaigns on forest protection in several villages, the Dongrias now play a key role in protecting the forest from the timber mafia and poachers.
Special focus was given on sensitising women as they possess knowledge and experience in harvesting and cooking forest produce. Systematic documentation of uncultivated plants has been taken up to check extinction of important species.
Forest produce is a safety net
"Uncultivated food acts as a safety net against the increasing trend of crop failure caused by climate change, erratic rainfall, and ecological degradation, including groundwater depletion, degraded soil and decimated biodiversity," said Susanta Dalai.
Tubers play a crucial role especially in the lean season when availability of food at home is insufficient. Different varieties of tubers are either boiled and eaten, or cooked as curry or dried and made into flour. For instance, a popular tuber called pani aru is sweet and is eaten raw. Pit aru is acrid in taste, so it is peeled, sliced and soaked in running water for three days to remove the bitterness.
Similarly, flowers of several plant species are also cooked—usually boiled before being fried and seasoned—and eaten. Jerhul flowers available in spring are most delicious.
Uncultivated fruits are also used in a number of ways—some are eaten raw, while others are cooked or made into pickles and chutneys. Karmata, korkotta, pakare and badru, for example, are cooked and eaten as part of a main meal. Varieties of leaves and edible weeds, too, are collected in different seasons, cooked and eaten with boiled rice. Plants such as chakor are sun-dried and preserved for off-season use.
The way forward
Increasing farmers' access to a wide variety of traditional seeds and planting materials will help them become more resilient to ever-increasing climatic hazards. Uncultivated wild foods form a major source of food security for the people in Niyamgiri. Yet these are largely neglected in food programs and policies. There is an urgent need to document and develop an inventory of important plant species.
"Policies on climate change, conservation, food security and agriculture need to be integrated to recognise and preserve the importance of uncultivated food," said Susanta Dalai.
Farmers have a critical understanding of traditional local varieties and their uses, honed through generations of farming. The importance of this knowledge and know-how should not be overlooked while developing agricultural policies and schemes.

Jenn is one of my favorite contributors, and I am in absolute Awe of her daughter, Emelie. Well, a few days ago, Jenn and I were talking about Cassius's extreme anxiety right now, and different medication options. I told her that Cassius is very nervous and does not — under any circumstances — want to consider taking any medicines at all. They make him really nervous. This is Em's response to Cassius, which I so deeply appreciate and can NOT wait to read to Cassius (when I pick him up from therapy in a couple of hours!).
Emelie, and her Mama, are some of my favorite people that I have met through the online autism blogosphere. To get to know more about them, you have GOT to check out their blog — they are the BEST EVER!
I sometimes get asked about Em's thoughts on taking medicines. I've fielded that question so often, I decided tonight's blog is from Em. We wrote this up to tell you her thoughts on the subject.
Emelie's Post:
I don't really remember life without taking my meds. But I can tell you what it's like when I am off them. I feel off. I'm hyper to the point it bothers me. I feel weird and the sensory issues bother me a lot. I'm really unfocused and I know I struggle with sleep on my meds but not as much when I'm not them. I really struggle to get good sleep if I can sleep.
I do remember though talking about me taking meds when I was younger. I didn't want to take them. I cried a lot. I begged my parents to not give me the meds. In the end though…

Nov. 28, 2017 — Tyler Hubert, a third-year student at the University of Houston Law Center, placed third in the inaugural Ultimate Writer Regional Writing Competition sponsored by the Texas Young Lawyers Association and Baylor Law School.
In addition to a trophy for his top-three finish in the state's only legal writing competition, Hubert will receive $500 at an awards reception Dec. 15 at the State Bar of Texas offices in Austin.
"I am just happy to have represented UHLC well," Hubert said. "This writing competition was a great opportunity to showcase my legal writing skills, and I am very grateful to the LSS (Lawyering Skills and Strategies) professors for their constant encouragement and support.
"The competition provided cases and statutes with a fact pattern, and we had to write a trial brief representing the plaintiff in a timber trespass case," Hubert explained. "We had to argue that the defendant had committed timber trespass and then we had to determine the level of damages that the law required."
The first and second place winners were Michael Davis and Alex Chern, both of the University of Texas School of Law. They will receive $3,000 and $1,500 respectively. As the winning law school, UT will keep the master trophy until next year's competition.
Each of seven participating law schools submitted three entries for the regional competition. Members of the Young Lawyers Association narrowed the 21 entries to the 10 best, with two Baylor legal writing professors selecting the three top finishers and five honorable mentions. Criteria, according to contest information, was "based on originality, logic, reasoning, analysis of the issues, use of authorities, clarity, organization, correctness of format and citations, grammar, style, and strength of conclusions."
"I am very proud of Tyler's success in the competition, but not at all surprised," said Katherine Brem, clinical assistant professor of Lawyering Skills and Strategies. "His work as my research assistant the past year has been first-rate.
"Tyler is a dedicated, hard-working student with sharp analytical skills, and his writing rivals that of young lawyers I have worked with in practice," she continued. "He exemplifies the skills we hope each of our students masters through the Lawyering Skills and Strategies classes we offer at the Law Center."

In the words of Chris Corwin, Consultant at Witt/Kieffer, "The pull of a great leader is strong." In today's world it's not uncommon to see an executive take a new position in order to work under a dynamic CEO, CFO, CIO, etc. However, turnover among healthcare executives is at an all-time high, meaning there's a good chance that dynamic leader won't be there next year.
So what does this mean for recruiting? According to an article in Becker's Hospital Review, Human Resources executives and hiring managers need to focus on hiring for the future, not just today. As opposed to hiring people who are a good organizational and cultural fit today, it's important to find individuals who fit the organizations' long-term strategic goals. It is wise to be leery of individuals who are focused only on the current leadership team instead of the overall organization and its future potential.
Interviewing Advice
Here are some tips on how to spot an executive for the future:
1. They praise current leaders in moderation.
It's acceptable for an interviewee to acknowledge and compliment current leaders within the organization, but it should be kept within the context of the organization, its past achievement, and its future. If it goes beyond that, it could be a sign they are only there to be mentored by the current leader, and might jump ship if he or she resigns.
2. They have researched the organization.
It's a good sign when any candidate has done their research, but an even better sign when a potential leader can prove they know exactly what kind of organization and culture they would be stepping into. They should be able to emphasize how their own skills and values align with the organization's culture and mission.
3. They focus on the big picture.
Are they tuned in to industry trends and change? Are they prepared to help the organization not only at the present time, but down the road as well? It's important new executives are able to see the big picture and adapt their skills to new landscape. The healthcare market is changing, and it's critical to hire people who can change along with it when needed.
4. They are a team player.
A genuine team player can give examples of how they've collaborated with diverse colleagues in the past. There's a lot of restructuring taking place in many healthcare organizations today, and it's important that leaders are able to mesh well with a steady stream of new colleagues, realigned departments, committee requests, etc. As Corwin puts it, they must be able to think "we" as well as "me."
It's not a bad thing when executives want to work for a certain leader, to learn under their coaching and feed off their energy, but it's important to make sure new hires fit with the overall culture and are prepared for an uncertain future.

Lately I have really been into teen sex and public sex videos with horny sluts. Me and my ex girlfriend used to love having sex in public places, there was something more excited about doing it in risky public locations rather than just doing it always at home on a bed. Anyway enogh about me why not check out what this hot blonde slut is doing. Here she is in some seedy carpark going down on two doggers and giving them head as they fondle her dripping wet snatch, This bitch is so horny and begs her strangers to give her a good seeing too, soon she's getting her pussy fucked before getting back down on to her knees for more cock sucking and getting two loads of sticky cum blasted on her face.

Death & Taxe$ - Theenigmathatisman
Year of Release: 2001
Label: Obstreperous Audio Recordings
Catalog Number: OARCD002
Format: CD
Total Time: 69:52:00
One of Los Angeles' more intriguing exports, Death & Taxe$ sport a musical approach uniquely their own. DnT (their acronym, not mine) bill their sound as "Progressive Jazz Metal Fusion" and their claim is absolutely credible as their musical explorations are eclectic and adventurous. The band's influences are equally diverse, ranging from Rush to Miles Davis. Odd time signatures, neck-snapping dynamics, crunching power metal, and wild improvisations abound, giving the listener plenty to digest and enjoy.
Theenigma... is opened by the brief atonal jam, "Becoming," that gives way to "Questions In Question," could be an outtake from Hemispheres, complete with heavily phased and fuzzed guitars a la Alex Lifeson circa 1979. "What Can You Make Of This" and '"Words Of A Feather" both sound like a funky, driving Led Zeppelin, the former complete with horns. "Human Fly" keeps the funk a-rollin', built around Vince Martinez's twangy guitars and Tom Shannon's bass and Stick riffs, poking fun at modern technology and convenience while taking a sharp stick to the eyes of Luddites and the Unabomber. "Instrumental With Words" is the album's first epic, the first seven minutes of which is eerily reminiscent of Disintegration-era Cure (this is NOT a bad thing!). The final four minutes become a roaring metal improvisation, alternately similar to Rush and Liquid Tension Experiment, thanks again to Martinez and Shannon.
"The Enigma That Is Man" ponders the contradictory nature of human behavior, and supports its theme by juxtaposing an acoustic beginning against a racing electric finish. "Bottomless Hippopotamus" follows as a swinging blues and again features competing bass and guitar improvisations. "Frenetic Genetic Overdrive" kicks out the progressive metal jams, blowing down the proverbial doors while sounding like an overture for "Diet Of Worms" which rages in and uses the example of Martin Luther's struggles with the Catholic church to rail against enforced conformity and resistance to necessary change. "After Words" - the second epic - closes the album with an offbeat juxtaposition of ambience, improvisation, and heavy metal. Horns, harmonics, cymbals, tablas, and electric guitars collide in a spacey improvisation that threatens to collapse in on itself before giving way to a driving prog-metal finale.
Ultimately, Theenigmathatisman is an interesting listen that falls squarely into the "acquired taste" category. Heavy fusion and progressive metal fans will find plenty to like about Theenigmathatisman while progressive purists won't be so receptive to, probably because of the coarse production and DnT's aggressive approach. Don't be deterred though - Death & Taxe$ have done a good job with Theenigmathatisman and clearly deserve a spin on your cd player. Me? I like it - a lot!

This trigger housing was produced by Quality Hardware. It is overstamped by Rock Ola for their use. Quality Hardware and Rock Ola were only a few miles apart. There is well known parts exchange between these two companies. This is especially true when one company was low on a certain part they would get parts from the other if that part was in quanity hence the over stamp. This housing has the original finish and has not been reworked. The Rock Ola stamp is vertical to the "Q" on the lettering. This is a unusual housing to find. I have personally seen three original Rock Ola veteran take home carbines with this housing. They were all "I" stock carbines within the 1680000 range. This is a nice untouched housing with an interesting history. Search for hlvfineguns on google for more details.

Police in Petoskey are investigating an armed robbery that took place at a Petoskey gas station Wednesday.
According to Petoskey Department of Public Safety officials, officers were called to the Petoskey E-Z Mart, 302 West Mitchell St., at about 7:10 p.m. when the clerk called 9-1-1.
The clerk told police that after robbing the store, the gunman tied her up and left her in a back room. The clerk was able to free herself and was assisted by a customer that entered the store as the clerk freed herself. She was not injured in the incident.
Police said the suspect, who made off with an undisclosed amount of cash, fled down Jefferson Street, which is located immediately behind the E-Z Mart, and was last seen in the area of Ingalls and West Mitchell Street near Lakeshore Tire.

KARACHI: MQM-P joint rally is to be held today in Liaquatabad area, the party's stronghold. Preparations are underway, with party flags and banners filling the rally ground.
THe MQM-P joint rally, which is to be held at Tanki Ground of Liaquatabad is said to be in response of PPP rally in the same place. A few days ago Khalid Maqbool, MQM-P Bahadurabad wing chairman, held a press conference in which he announced the rally.
He spoke of his reservations against Bilawal Bhutto Zardari who had targeted MQM-P in the PPP rally speech. Khalid said that he had thought that PPP was going to announce some relief to the people of Karachi. He said that, Muhajir nation have been persecuted in the interior and they would not stand for it anymore. PPP chose to criticize MQM-P, the party which is responsible for making the city what it is today.
Both factions of MQM-P have joined hands for a power show to dismiss the claims that Karachi has rejected MQM-P. While outside the Anti Terrorist Court today, Farooq Sattar, Chairman MQM-P PIB, also claimed that this rally is also a protest for the current power and water situation of the city. He said that PPP did not even know that the water tank at the ground it had held rally was empty.
Visiting the rally grounds to check on preparations in the morning, MQM-P PIB Wing Leader, Amir Khan spoke to the media. He said that today's rally will be one of the biggest shows of power. Amir said that PPP only made Muhajir unite and we will show that the people of Karachi still back us.
The party grounds seem to be filled with flags and banners and preparations are underway. However; it seems the differences between both the parties have not decreased even under these circumstances. Both factions are going to be bringing separates rallies and join up in the Tanki Ground of Liaquatabad.

Paramount Liquor is sending a new invoice format & I'm afraid that it's not one that we can extract from perfectly. This is because the supplier uses a 'case/bottle' qty format, for example 0/1 is equivalent to 0 cases/1 bottle and they also use just a single number when selling by the case, for eg 3 which means 3 cases. This makes it impossible to extract them all correctly.
Our new map (# 01-87692) can extract all the lines, but the quantity for cases needs to be edited from the InTray.
We are hoping to get Paramount to change or revert to their other format so please help by putting pressure on them - perhaps by calling or emailing them?
What editing is required?
It will help you understand what's needing to be edited if I explain what the map extracts.
The map is extracting the quantities on the right side of the quantity column (which is the bottles). So anything that has just a qty on the right side will be correct. And because the left side (the cartons) is not being extracted, any line that has a carton qty & no bottle qty - for eg 2/0 - will need editing. I was able to design the map to still extract those lines, but they will have a quantity of one, so from the InTray after the map is applied, you will need to look at the invoice and any lines that have a qty on the left side will need to be changed to what the invoice shows, but don't type in what the case qty is, because you need the unit qty (this is because the unit price is extracted). What you have to do is look at the description & it will show you how many units are in a carton, then multiply this by the qty in the left side of the column. Here is an example I've also shown in the smaller screenshot below:
Bombay Sapphire: 700ml SIZE: 6/700ml QTY: 2/0
Because you want to get the unit qty use this sum: 6 x 2 = 12
Then type 12 into that line's qty box
The other problem is when they use the single number in the qty column - as shown in screenshot #2 below these are in the black boxes.
With a normal map these lines will not get extracted because there is nothing in the right side like the other lines (remember the map is only extracting the right hand side). So just like the lines that have a qty on the left, to save you having to manually enter those lines, these will also extract with a qty of 1 by default, but for these ones you just enter the number it shows (you don't need to multiply the case qty).
For eg the line in the screenshot #2: Apple Thief Granny Smith Cider, you would just enter 3 in the qty box
Deleting lines:
Another thing to mention is that seeing the specialised map is designed to extract the products that have no quantity, it will also extract the products that have a proper qty of zero and other lines that we don't need extracted.
Screenshots 3 & 4 below show examples that would need to be deleted;
#3 is a product that was order & not delivered
#4 is the WET & GST lines which we do not want to extract

Well after we broke higher and traded higher on increased volume I can't help but alter my thesis a little; if I don't ever change what I believe will happen, I will lose a lot more money.
Today we broke out and closed above a key trendline I had been watching and we had increased volume, AND we came out of a base (giving the move a little more juice). Right now we are still a little extended but I cannot help but to say a more bullish than bearish at this point. There is resistance near but so far we have not had a potent/legitimate sell signal. I have tried to "call the top" (my mistake) for a couple days and in hindsight I should have been focusing on better longs. So going forward, I would look for a little bit more continuation upwards but do not chase if you are not already in (unless we cross the days highs). In summary - stick with what is working.
Apple has been a laggard, and a extreme what at that. It sold off at the start of the day, filling the pre market gap up. This is bearish in itself. Then we found support later in the day and traded higher, coming way off the lows - with good volume. I still do not consider Apple a buy right now. I think it still has a lot to prove but is a trading vehicle (day trading).
Google I said yesterday looked really good for higher prices. It did well today and still looks pretty good, despite closing red (open vs close). Overall the chart is bullish and I would raise my stops to the low of today.
Amazon is not really performing like you would like to see after a break to all time highs. It is not continuing it's strength (which is concerning). I will continue to monitor this one and tell you when I think it is ready to go again or fail here. Stay tuned. It is a no trade for right now.
DELL ($DELL) looks good for higher prices as it has a good volume pattern and is consolidating nicely. I would look to add/buy on a break out of this consolidation.
Sprint ($S) is looking REALLY nice and it remains one of my favorite picks for 2013 and in the near term future. I am looking for a entry soon but overall, I would call this a BUY right now. The weekly chart shows a beautiful cup and handle pattern that is breaking out.
The homebuilders did not really go anywhere today but they are still holding in there. Some are at some support so they could bounce off there tomorrow. I would continue to monitor them, and look for entries. They still look good.
