Our Ethan boy is becoming more and more adamant in establishing his independence, and is more often than not very persistent and determined in doing so.
Take last night, for example. After I showered him, I took him into our room to give him his feed of milk while I diapered him. This is a routine that Ethan absolutely loves, because he gets to drink his full 6-7oz of milk while being serenaded by Mommy's rendition of nursery rhymes or whatever songs that creep into my head at that moment. After he finished his milk, I wanted to put his pj top on, but he refused. He scrambled down from the bed and asked me to take him outside instead.
So okay la, I took him out and figured I could put his shirt on for him while he was busy playing with his toys or watching TV. How wrong I was! A chase around our home ensued. I tried enticing him with various pj tops, but he just wanted to run around in the buff, … well, save for the fitted diaper he had on, of course.
So I decided to (but of course) snap a few pictures while waiting for the opportune moment to put the shirt on him la.
Finally after a while, and after some kicking, screaming and protesting, a tired and exhausted Mommy finally managed to dress him up. And Ethan happily patted his tummy after that. He does look happy, doesn't he?

Today we are talking about what to expect from a professional property management company. In this post we will discuss a few items that a professional property management company should have. You can use this when interviewing or searching for a property management company to manage your investment properties.
First of all, this is an absolute must. You need to know where your money is going and what is it being spent on. We send our monthly statements out on the 10th of every month. Some companies issue them on the 1st. Regardless, you need to get a monthly statement. It shows you the livelihood of your investment property. Without monthly statements, how do you know what is going on? You can see an example of what our monthly statement looks like when you download our owner handbook.
You need a company that picks up the phone, answers the phone and is available. I'm not saying they should be available 24/7, but they should have an after-hour service. In addition, they should also respond in a timely manner. Emails shouldn't take five days to get back to you.
If you are hiring a management company they should be able to screen tenants. A professional property management company will be able to screen for income, landlord-tenant verification, criminal history and credit history. They ability to screen an applicant is a MUST.
By legal aid, I mean a professional property management company should have an attorney they consult with for expert advice. If you ask me a legal question that I don't know, I'm going to ask our attorney. I want you to feel comfortable that important legal issues have been reviewed by an attorney. We have our own legal counsel that we reach out to often.
If you are interviewing a property manager and they don't really know what their fees, they may not be a professional. We have set fees and a professional management company will have a set fee structure. Ours you can find out on our website on our pricing page. We are very open about what our management plans cost and even describe our plans in detail in a video.
When interviewing a property manager, you will want to ask them about their software. How do they take care of collecting rent, take care of maintenance invoices, and take care of paying bills? Professional property management companies will be using some type of proprietary software.
A professional property manager will have access to maintenance vendors. Whether it is in-house maintenance or strictly third party vendors, this is one of the most important parts of being a property manager. If something breaks, a property manager needs to have contacts ready and available to handle those problems.
It only happens once a year but a professional property manager will provide you with end of year accounting. You should receive a 1099 and a Schedule E. A schedule E will breakdown all your income and expenses (management fees, appliances, landscaping, etc) you had throughout the year. You then take this to your accountant so you can do your taxes and plan for the year to come.
These are the most important items to expect from a professional property management company. Thanks for checking out our blog!
Check out our other related blog about the Advantages of Having Professional Property Management.
So yeah, we're a little geeky and take this whole "Property Management" thing pretty seriously! We love what we do and we're pretty damn good at it too. Own Properties? Life is too short to struggle with doing it yourself or a bad management company. See how it could be.
Eddie Beekman is the founder of "Give Your Clients Your Cell Number", because he believes there is no reason for poor communication! He tackles the daily management and maintenance issues that arise in the operations at APMG. Eddie is an excellent video blogger and likes to add humor to his videos. After 18 years of Property Managment you think you've heard it all, until tomorrow and it starts over.

Why Do Professions of Faith? (1 Timothy 6:12)/
Paul exhorts Timothy to fight the good fight. The motivation for this fight is that Timothy will then be able to take hold of eternal life. So, does this mean that Timothy needs to work really hard to get to the goal of heaven or to receive the blessings of heaven? What does Timothy standing in the midst of the witnesses have to do with this this good fight? What implications can we draw from this public testimony as well?

Regency Personalities Series
In my attempts to provide us with the details of the Regency, today I continue with one of the many period notables.
Wernerian Natural History Society
January 12, 1808 – April 16, 1858
Wernerian Natural History Society was a learned society interested in the broad field of natural history, and saw papers presented on various topics such as mineralogy, plants, insects, and scholarly expeditions. The Society was an offshoot of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and from its beginnings it was a rather elite organization.
The Society was named after Abraham Gottlob Werner, a German geologist who was a creator of Neptunism, a theory of superposition based on a receding primordial ocean that had deposited all the rocks in the crust. At this time all rocks, including basalt, and crystalline substances were thought by some to be precipitated from solution.
Robert Jameson, Regius Professor of Natural History at the University of Edinburgh, was the founder and life president of the Society. In 1800, he spent a year at the mining academy in Freiberg, Saxony, where he studied under Werner. The Society was founded on 12 January 1808, and the first meeting of the Society occurred on 2 March 1808. Between 1811 and 1839 eight volumes of Memoirs of the Wernerian Natural History Society appeared. More than twelve of Jameson's papers on geology and mineralogy were published in these volumes, and he also contributed some on zoology and botany. Proceedings after 1839 were published in Jameson's Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal. The Society hosted many of the notable scientists of its day.

Advantages of clear aligner orthodontic systems, like Invisalign
Teeth straightening shouldn't get in the way of a busy lifestyle
Better oral health
Invisalign aligners are removable, so it's easier to clean your teeth and maintain your oral health during treatment. Unlike traditional braces, there are no metal brackets and wires getting in the way of flossing and brushing.
Smile with confidence
Many patients start to see improvements in their smile within just a few months. Unlike metal braces, most people won't realise you're going through orthodontic treatment when you're wearing Invisalign clear aligners because they are virtually invisible
Freedom to celebrate
Got a special occasion coming up? No problem, just take your aligners out for the event and pop them back in when you're done.
Keep an active lifestyle
With Invisalign clear aligners, you don't have to worry about your treatment interfering with your active lifestyle.
The predictable, comfortable way to beautiful smiles
Are you deciding whether teeth-straightening is for you, but feel worried about the discomfort? With innovative technologies, the Invisalign system effectively straightens your teeth predictably and more comfortably.
Potentially fewer dentist visits
Invisalign treatment is ideal for your busy schedule, with dentist visits only required approximately every six to eight weeks (compared to three to four weeks with braces). That means you can spend more time doing the things that are important to you.

Elia is finishing the night shift at the hospital, her petite body exhausted from the work of the past 12 hours. She peels off her scrubs, leaving them in a pile on the locker room floor. She puts on her street clothes and thinks about her current patients: the young girl whose foot was severed in a bicycle accident, the comatose father of two who fell off a ladder while building a tree house, the infant boy injured in a freak crib collapse. As their faces flash in her mind, her heart hurts for their loved ones.

A Great British Bake Off star will join a top chef and an MSP for an exclusive charity cooking afternoon in West Lothian.
Bake Off's Tom Hetherington, Scottish chef Barry Bryson and Lothian MSP Miles Briggs will hold a Kitchen Table Day for cancer charity Maggie's at Jupiter Artland in Wilkieston on Friday April 20.
Maggie's Kitchen Table Day will host 50 people and begin at noon with tea, coffee and smoked salmon before cooking demos from both Tom and Barry.
There will also be a chance to take part in a Q&A while prosecco and canapes are served at 2pm.
Miles Briggs said: "I know the support Maggie's provides is essential in helping people to live well with cancer, so I am delighted to be working with Tom and Barry to host our very own Kitchen Table Day in a rather special location."
Tom Hetherington, who is also part of the architectural team working on a new extension to the original Maggie's Centre in Edinburgh, said: "The kitchen table is at the heart of every Maggie's Centre, where people talk, laugh, drink tea and find invaluable support. It is lovely to be able to help by working with Miles and Barry to host a Kitchen Table Day."

Barry Bryson added: "It is wonderful to be able to help Maggie's support even more people with cancer by coming together with Miles and Tom to put on what I believe will be an incredibly special event in an extraordinary location."
There is a recommended donation of £35 for a ticket for the event available from Mark Cooper via email@example.com.

Nicky Wilson, Director and Founder of Jupiter Artland, said: "Maggie's is a charity that is close to our hearts and vitally important for cancer patients and their families. We're delighted to be able to host a special Kitchen Table Day here at Jupiter Artland.
"We can't wait to welcome them and their guests here, and hope they raise lots of much-needed funds to continue the work they do."
Andrew Anderson, Centre Head at Maggie's Edinburgh, said: "I can't wait to see the wonderful events that people come up with to help make Maggie's Kitchen Table Day 2018 a success. Maggie's relies entirely on voluntary donations to allow us to keep on developing our unique programme of free support for all those living with cancer in the area."s

We have never been more stressed. An increased focus on productivity and profitability has ensnared us in a spin cycle of overwork, exhaustion, fear and anxiety. Pressured to survive under heavy economic strain, the threat of job loss snaps at our heels. The whip is cracked. We steady ourselves and plod along, with no clear end in sight. Yet we remain aware that left unchecked, chronic stress can either kill us or irreparably damage our overall health. And still, we plod along . . . .
Hans Selye, the father of stress research, poignantly stated, "the only person without stress, is a dead person". He draws attention to the fact that stress is indeed an unavoidable life event. However, we all experience and deal with it differently. One man might thrive under stress while another becomes distressed. The fact is that everyone is vulnerable to it at some point in their lives.
In a survey by the American Psychological Association, women were found to be more stressed than men. Not surprising considering their role of having to balance the demands of home and the workplace. It is in fact women's entry into the workplace that highlighted the need for work-life balance. Society still has stereotypical expectations of them to balance unpaid work at home with paid work in the work place. As women end one shift at the office, they ready themselves for the second shift at home.
The current work climate unfairly forces us to shrewdly monetize our personal resources. This is a system that eulogizes the role of worker as all-important. It sadly means that sometimes our children and loved ones get left at the fringe. The order of the day is to make more money, only to spend more and more of it. As we heed the need to keep the machine running in exchange for access to material goods, we can see why the worker 's role trumps all the others.
By being caught up in a constant state of consumerism and consumption, over-busyness, over commitment, while constantly being plugged in, we tune out to the neglect taking place in all other aspects of our lives. We not only spend an unreasonable amount of time at work, but also welcome the spillover, as we bring work home with us, and spend more time worrying about it instead of sleeping. There are many who find comfort and a false sense of purpose in the need to do too much and become addicted workaholics or its very close cousins: the rush-a-holic, the busy-a-holic and care-a-holic.
Spending more time at work often means that community, friends, leisure and spiritual pursuits are left to flounder. A worker who is exhausted and stressed out in actual fact does himself more harm by setting himself up for burn-out.
What is a burnt out worker? Well you meet them everywhere, employees so emotionally, psychologically and physically tapped out, exhausted and chronically stressed that they don't even seem to be present. Burnout is a state of apathy, withdrawal and disinterest in everyday life.
Some common signs to look for are feelings of frustration, emotional outbursts or hostility, a why bother attitude, substandard performance and a general state of feeling rundown/ tired. It may manifest itself as a need to consume more alcohol/ coffee, eat more or less, and eat more sweets. Burn-out is common among nurses, teachers, policemen, social workers and persons who have a high customer interface.
Our present culture of making more and more money, distances us from the very things we need to sustain our ability to be fully engaged as workers. It separates us from our core relationships and the ties that help us feel a sense of belonging and well-being; it keeps us from taking the time we need to pause and replenish our bodies and our spirits, as well as connect with our natural environment. It seems like the more we do, the more is being expected of us and we lose sight of the whole picture.
In a world where we want the big house, the luxury vehicle and the expensive vacations, we work longer and harder. We use up more time and our precious energy to generate the money to consume more of everything including the earth's resources. We live under the illusion that by having access to the "goods of life", we somehow can fast-track ourselves to the "good life." This cycle unfortunately, rather than granting us more happiness, in fact predisposes us to higher levels of stress and ill-health.
Living a stress-free life is an impossibility. Living a life of full awareness and balance is within the reach of all. Ruth Levitas ( University of Bristol) boldly maintains that "work is a greatly overrated pastime and a re-evaluation . . . is long overdue". Achieving work-life balance is a constant dance of energy and time. It is an acknowledgement that we are not just the employee, but the father, the lover, the church-goer, the gardener, the PTA member, the avid cricketer, the volunteer and much much more.
It is understanding that all our roles and activities are equally valuable in making up the whole, well- balanced and integrated person we bring to work everyday.
In the near future, we can only hope that employers and employees pay more attention to work-life balance and personal fulfillment beyond the present work-performance model.

Small Groups For All Ages: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Traditions Service: 11:00 AM - 12:00 Noon
Who are we?
Fredericktown UMC is a community of people motivated by God's grace to accept all people and inspired to serve the community.
Like all Methodists, we emphasize that God's grace is for all people, no matter what. It is by God's grace that we are forgiven, that we are reunited with God, and that we are able to grow in faith. Grace isn't about guilt and it's not about getting it right all the time. Grace is about God loving us beyond anything we can even imagine!
Because we are people who emphasize grace, this congregation welcomes all people. We believe that's what God's love is all about. Fredericktown UMC is an open-minded community and takes seriously creating a church home for people who may not otherwise be welcome at other churches. We invite people of all ages, races, cultures, abilities, relationship statuses, gender identities, and sexual orientations to be you, be loved, and belong.
Experiencing God's grace in an accepting community leads us to share that with others. We believe God is resurrecting all of creation and that we participate in that by serving our neighbors.

New Delhi: A 20-year-old woman was bludgeoned to death with a hammer on Sunday night allegedly by her live-in partner, 45-year-old e-rickshaw driver. The couple were in a live-in relationship for the last five days in south Delhi's Sangam Vihar, police said.
Ramvir who suspected the woman of having an affair with a man in his neighbourhood, was arrested from the crime scene, police said.
Romil Baaniya, deputy commissioner of police (south), said the woman was attacked on her head and face with an iron tool in a room on the fifth floor of a building where she was living for the last five days. The police control room was informed at around 11pm about the murder of a person near Shooting Range check post at Sangam Vihar, reported Hindustan Times.
"A team reached the crime scene and found a woman unconscious with injuries on her face and head. One man with blood stains on his clothes was found on the roof of the house," said Baaniya. A case of murder was registered and the suspect, Ramvir, was interrogated.
During the interrogation, the DCP said, Ramvir revealed that he had met the woman five days ago and brought her to his home where they started living together. "On Sunday night, an argument broke out between the two over the woman's affair. Ramvir killed her in a fit of rage," he added.
Police said Ramvir 's wife lives separately in the same neighbourhood with their 20-year-old daughter. After killing the woman, Ramvir went to his wife's house and told her about it.
"When his wife informed police about his crime, Ramvir returned to his home," said a police officer associated with the case. The police is trying to locate the family members of the dead woman.

The Hopeless Romantic's Handbook
When it comes to romance, are magic, fireworks, and a dashing knight in shining Armani really too much to ask? Apparently so, since Kate Hetherington has yet to find an appropriate mate in all of London. Her lifelong friends (and confirmed pragmatists) Sally and Tom tease her endlessly about her hopeless romanticism. But Kate knows that she's right to want her own fairy tale.
After stumbling upon an old tome titled The Hopeless Romantic's Handbook, Kate decides to give its advice a whirl. Incredibly, the book lives up to its money-back guarantee, because before Kate can say "Cinderella" she meets Joe Rogers, a drop-dead-gorgeous American actor. Frankly, he's perfect–and Kate thinks she might have finally found The One. He certainly has the muscles required to sweep her off her feet. But Sal and Tom are less thrilled with Kate's dreamboat. Are they just jealous, or do they know something about love that isn't in Kate's handbook? Kate's pretty sure that finding true love isn't supposed to alienate you from your friends, but what she doesn't know is that her real knight is still waiting for her–and he's closer than she ever imagined.

About the Author
Read an Excerpt
Kate Hetherington sighed and put down her drink dramatically.
"I just think there has to be a better way," she said, shaking her head in disbelief. "You'd think they'd have developed some sort of radar by now."
Her friend Sal frowned. "Radar?"
"To find the perfect man. So you don't have to endure things like speed dating. Honestly, Sal, it was the worst night of my life. I hated every minute of it. I hated every man in there. And at the end, I still came out disappointed that I only got one number. I mean, it's wrong on so many levels, I don't even know where to start."
Sal shrugged. "I bet it wasn't that bad. I think it sounds like fun, actually."
Kate looked at her friend levelly. "That's because you're happily married so you know you'll never have to go. Things like speed dating always sound like fun in principle—it's the reality that's so excruciating."
"So why did you go, then?"
"Because you made me."
"I didn't make you! I just said you should give it a go, that's all."
Kate sighed. "I know. I think a little voice inside me really thought it might work, too. I mean, I thought I might . . . meet someone's eyes and just know. . . ."
"But it didn't work out that way?"
"No," Kate said despondently. "And the truth is, I'm kind of running out of options here. I'm going to be thirty soon, and I don't see any knights on white steeds turning up to whisk me away, do you?"
Sal shook her head. "Does the steed have to be white?" she asked, a little smile playing on her lips.
Kate grinned. "I'm willing to stretch to cream," she conceded. "If the knight is good-looking enough."
"Ah, here you are. Sorry I'm late. So, how are we all?"
Kate and Sal turned round and saw their friend Tom approaching. "Dreadful, thanks," Kate said lugubriously. "How're you?"
Tom grimaced. "In need of a drink. Can I get either of you a refill?"
Kate handed him her glass, requesting a vodka tonic, and Sal shook her head. As he disappeared off toward the bar, she frowned. "And you're sure there wasn't a single eligible man there? Not even one?"
"Not even one," Kate assured her. "They were all either creepy, letchy, or just plain weird." Sal looked at her dubiously, and Kate's hackles rose. "What?" she demanded. "Don't you believe me?"
Sal widened her eyes. "I didn't say a thing!"
"No, but you looked at me like you wanted to. You think I would have missed some gorgeous guy just waiting to sweep me off my feet?"
Sal hesitated, then blurted, "I just think that maybe your aspirations are too high. I mean, all you talk about is sweeping and knights and stuff. Instead of nice-looking, or amenable. I'm just not sure you're looking for the right . . . qualities."
"Right qualities?"
Sal put her drink down. "This is the real world, Kate, that's all. Richard Gere isn't going to turn up in a convertible car to whisk you off into the sunset."
"I don't want Richard Gere to turn up," Kate snapped. "I just want . . ."
Sal raised her eyebrows expectantly.
"Fine," Kate said with a sigh. "I admit it. My aspirations are high. I want fireworks, and I want magic. What's wrong with that? I can't help it if I'd rather chew my own feet off than endure a night of speed dating again."
"Speed dating?" Tom asked, arriving with the drinks. "So you went, did you?"
Kate nodded. "Tried it, hated it, never doing it again." Avoiding Sal's eyes, she took her drink from Tom and shuffled her chair around to make room for him.
They were sitting in the Bush Bar and Grill, a bar-cum-restaurant that was five minutes' walk from each of their homes and which hosted their weekly Sunday night drinks date. The three of them lived streets away from one another in the area of London that sat
between Shepherd's Bush, West Kensington, and Hammersmith. Which particular section they chose to tell people they lived in depended on whether they were at a job interview, trying to impress someone, or hoping not to get mugged. Sal and her husband Ed lived on a road that was officially in West Kensington; Kate's zip code said W6, which meant Hammersmith, but she was really closer to Shepherd's Bush. And Tom lived on the Golborne Road, a stone's throw from the Bush Bar and Grill, and two minutes' walking distance from both of the women.
"So it was as ghastly as it sounded?" Tom said dryly.
"Worse," Kate said. "I had to meet twenty people for five minutes, which isn't long, is it?" She gave Tom a hopeful look, and he nodded firmly. "But I still ran out of things to say," she said. "I mean, they asked such stupid stuff. Like if I was an animal, which one would I be and why. What sort of a question is that?"
Tom frowned. "What animal did you say you'd be?" he asked with interest.
"I started off with a dolphin, and then someone made a joke about sperm whales and I lost the will to live. After that, I was a crocodile twice, a rottweiler, and a meerkat." She smirked a little.
"Well, no wonder you didn't meet anyone nice," Sal complained. "They probably thought you were a total Froot Loop."
"But a very sweet Froot Loop," Tom said affectionately.
"I could set you up with one of Ed's friends, if you want," Sal interjected. "I think I can safely guarantee that none of them would ask you any animal-related questions at all."
"Thanks, Sal," Kate said with a shrug. "But I'm not sure I'd have much in common with many of Ed's friends. . . ."
Sal frowned. "Because you think financiers are all pinstripe shirt– wearing bores?" she asked crossly.
"No!" Kate said. "Not at all. But come on, you and Ed are so . . . grown-up."
"Ed's only thirty-five," Sal said defensively. "It's not so old. And I'm no older than you."
"I didn't say 'old.' Grown-up is different."
"How?" Sal asked, her eyes narrowing.
Tom grinned. "Sal, darling, don't play the innocent with us. We both know that when you're at home, you and Ed talk about stocks and shares and the impact of the Budget on your pensions. Whereas I doubt Kate here even has a pension. Do you, Kate?"
Kate shifted uncomfortably in her chair. "I'm going to. You know, at some point."
"Kate!" Sal said, shocked. "You don't have a pension? That's so . . . irresponsible."
"I rest my case." Kate sighed. "None of Ed's friends would be interested in me because I don't have a stock portfolio. I don't even know how I'd go about getting one. And the truth is, I don't even care. So either I have to give up completely, or accept that I'm going to have to spend the rest of my days at nasty speed-dating events at which hideous pigs leer and stare at my breasts all night. Bloody marvelous."
"Seriously?" Tom asked. "They stared at your breasts?"
Kate hit him. Her lack of cleavage was a running gag with Sal and Tom. Had been since high school when she'd been the last girl in their whole class to need a bra. "One guy stared at them for the full five minutes, actually. And then he gave me his card and said he'd love to see me again! Can you believe it? Steve, his name was. I kept his card as a reminder of everything I'm not looking for in a man."
"Nothing wrong with staring at breasts," Tom said, grinning. "I think they're a great indicator of marriage potential, as it happens."
Sal rolled her eyes. "Tom, you are incorrigible. And I don't know why you're so laid-back about the whole thing, either. When's the last time you had a serious girlfriend?"
"I pride myself on steering clear of seriousness in the girlfriend department," Tom replied with dignity. "I have enough seriousness at work, thanks."
"Being a surgeon doesn't preclude you from falling in love," Sal continued. "Don't you ever meet anyone you actually like?"
Tom blanched. "Like is an odd word, don't you think?" He looked down at his empty glass. "I like lots of things. Doesn't mean I want to move in with them, does it? Doesn't mean I want to sign my life away."
Kate pounced on the opening. To Sal, she said, "See? You say I'm hopeless, but I'm not as hopeless as Tom."
"Ah, that's where you're wrong," Tom said quickly. "You are the epitome of a hopeless romantic. Hopeless, ironically, because you do hope that the fairytale love story will come true for you. I, on the other hand, am comfortable with the fact that it doesn't. Therefore, I, unlike you, am never going to be disappointed."
"You think I'm going to be disappointed?"
Tom raised his eyebrows. "Kate, for a man to live up to your expectations, he would have to be six-foot-four, strapping but sensitive, intelligent but always willing to accept your point of view, continually sweeping you off your feet and basically dedicating his life to you. For a woman to live up to mine, she would need to be . . . well, female. And perhaps not a complete dog."
Kate scowled. "I am not a hopeless romantic. That's rubbish."
"You're not?" Tom said with an ill-concealed grin. "Do you remember how many universities you had on your shortlist?"
She looked at him curiously. "Two," she said. "No, three."
"You may have had three in the end, but only because you were forced into it. Don't you remember? You were madly in love with that guy in the year above us, Paul James. And you insisted that you had to go to Bristol because that's where he was going, and the two of you were meant to be together."
"So?" Kate knew where this was going. "I liked Bristol. It was a great university."
"Yes, but you split up with Paul at the beginning of the summer holidays! You made a major decision about your life based on some romantic notion that you were meant to be with some spotty teenager, and it could have been a disaster."
"But it wasn't, was it?" Kate said hotly. "And at least I'm open to love. At least I'm open to commitment and marriage and living happily ever after. You've become way too cynical, Tom."
"Maybe. But if I have, then I'm pleased," Tom said with a dismissive wave of his hand. "Anyway, it's not as if anyone has ever expressed any interest in marrying me. I mean, would either of you take someone like me on?"
His eyes met Kate's for a moment, and she frowned. "God, no," she said quickly. "Can't think of anything worse."
Sal sighed. "Me either," she relented, prompting Tom to pull a face of disappointment. "Fine. Well, you both enjoy your lonely existences, and drop in on me and my boring husband from time to time, won't you?"
Kate leant over and squeezed Sal's arm. "Sal, you were always ahead of the game. You had your university offers before we'd even got round to applying. You had a job before either of us had got over our end-of-university hangovers. We'll get there eventually. At least, I hope we do."
Sal smiled. "Fine, you're right. But I still think you should let me set you up," she said with another sigh.
Kate shook her head. "Thanks, but no. I'll meet my Mr. Right eventually," she said, shooting Tom a meaningful look. "At least I hope I will."
"So you're just going to wait around for Mr. Right to show up?" Sal asked. "What if he doesn't? I mean, isn't it a bit . . . risky?"
"Isn't it more risky ending up with the wrong guy because you were too scared to wait around for Mr. Right?" Kate asked defensively.
Sal frowned and Kate immediately backtracked. "I didn't mean you. God, I just meant, you know, that I want to be sure. . . ."
"Okay," Sal said. "Well, lovely as this has been, I think it's time to call it a night. Ed will be back from his stupid client golf weekend any minute and it would be nice to see my husband for an hour this weekend before it's time for bed."
Kate nodded. "Yeah, I guess it's getting late."
"This is a sign that we're getting old, you realize," Tom said as they pulled on their coats. "A few years ago, ten p.m. still felt early."
"Not on a Sunday, Tom," Sal said matter-of-factly. "If you're not careful, you're going to turn into one of those people who says that summers are never as long as they were when you were young."
"They're not," he protested. "And it used to snow at Christmas time, too."
The three of them left the Bush Bar and Grill and emerged onto the Goldhawk Road, shivering against the February night. "I'm going to run, I'm afraid," Sal said as soon as they'd got outside. "See you next week sometime?" She blew kisses at both of them and hurried down toward the large house that she shared with her investment analyst husband.
Tom looked at Kate and grinned. "Come on, I'll walk you home," he said, putting his arm around her. "Can't have our hopeless romantic on the streets alone at this hour."
Kate gave a plaintive sigh as they began to walk. "You don't really think I'm hopeless, do you?" she asked Tom.
"I think you're an optimist," he replied cagily. "And that's not entirely a bad thing."
"Do you really mean it, about never getting married?"
He shrugged. "I dunno. I s'pose if I meet the right woman I might."
Kate nodded. "It's not as easy, is it? I mean, it's not as easy as they make it out to be. I sometimes wonder how on earth anyone ever manages to get together and stay together. How did our parents manage it?"
"They didn't. Not all of them," Tom said with a caustic twist of the lips.
Kate reddened. "Sorry. I didn't mean your parents." Actually, she realized none of their parents had exactly aced the whole love and marriage thing. Tom's mother had left out of the blue when he was just seven, Sal's mother had brought her up on her own, and her own parents had spent the last thirty years arguing.
"Hey, don't worry about it. I don't consider my mother to be a parent, anyway. I mean, you have to actually parent your child to get that moniker, right? Buggering off when he's eight and ceasing all contact doesn't exactly qualify, does it?"
"Still no word then?" she asked gently. Tom almost never talked about his mother. He had barely mentioned her existence since she disappeared one day with no explanation, not even a note. But Kate knew how much it had upset him; she had seen him emerging from the bathroom at school with red eyes, fiercely denying that he was in any way bothered. That was when he had started to get so cynical. Eight was a very tender age to realize that you couldn't trust even your own mother not to let you down.

In London Kate Hetherington blames her best friend Sal (married to Ed) for her trying speed dating. Their other pal single Dr. Tom Whitson says Kate is a hopeless romantic who will be disappointed by love. Kate is upset over the teasing so she goes on to EBay for fun and buys the Hopeless Romantic¿s Handbook.--------------- Kate likes working as the interior stylist for the TV makeover show Future: Perfect. She detests the emcee, the odious one hit wonder Penny, tolerates the producer Marla, and likes the rest of the crew. The book arrives and Kate begins to apply its advice. It suggests she do something different so Kate takes the bus to work. The book says to confront cynics, not ignore them. So when Penny is nasty to Kate she stays professional. Kate goes out with American wannabe actor Joe. She forces herself to listen to him talk about his desires and does not to sleep with him just as the book recommends. She thinks she is in love but loses her job and her man to Penny. Meanwhile Tom worrying about Kate knows he loves her, but fears admitting that to her as he never recovered from when his mom walked out on him and his dad when he was eight.--------------- This is a terrific contemporary romance with a solid extended cast and believable relationships between the three best friends. However, the key to this fine chick lit tale is the sparingly use of The Hopeless Romantic¿s Handbook so that enhances the story line rather than takes away form it. Though a side issue between Sal and her spouse seems inane as they should have been talking, Gemma Townley provides a delightful charmer.--------------- Harriet Klausner
Super cute book! I read it in one day...just couldn't put it down!
I enjoyed reading this book because I like Chick Lit reads and am somewhat of a hopeless romantic myself. It is a good read if you're just looking for a light read. I'm afraid the synopsis on the back of the book gives away most of the story, making the plot quite predictable. Although I pretty much already had the story figured out (and had it figured out correctly!), I kept reading the book. It held my interest enough even though I knew what was going to happen. All in all, it would have been a lot better had the synopsis on the back not given it all away.
Gemma Townley is one of my favorite writers of all times. Her books are gripping from the first page and laugh-out-loud hilarious. Every story has great characters, heartwarming plots, and hilarious dialoge. You'll fall in love with all the characters from the beginning and want to read every book she has ever written. You won't regret this buy!!!

Made my own chocolate almond milk today! So yummy! I used to make almond milk a lot before and I don't really know why I stopped?? Very unclear.
Anyway, it's really easy to make your own almond milk and it tastes amazing!!!! WAY better then store bought one!! I love to use my almond milk för chia puddings or in smoothies or just eat it together with Granola. Like this one: Raw Nutty Cluster Buckini Granola 🙂
- 1 cup almonds (soak 8-10 h and rinse thoroughly under water)
- 4 cups of cold water
- 2 fresh gooey medjool dates, pitted
- 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla bean powder or essence
- 1 pinch of salt
1. Mix almonds, dates and water in a blender until well mixed.
2. Strain the milk through a nut milk bag into a large bowl. Pour back into the blender and add raw cacao powder, vanilla and salt. Mix again and pour into 1-2 large air-tight glass bottles.
3. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Welcome to the research group on clusters and nanostructures!
Our main field of research is the investigation of clusters, i.e. of particles as small as only a few nanometers, or even less. Such small particles are benchmark systems for nanostructured materials and offer the unique chance to explore the development of many-body phenomena in finite quantum systems. We study the properties of free atomic clusters and complexes embedded in ultracold helium droplets, with a special focus on the interaction between light and matter, ranging from electron emission up to ultrafast nonlinear dynamics in nanoplasmas.

Am 16.09.2018 verstarb mit Professor Dr. Gustav Gerber einer der Pioniere der Ultrakurzzeitphysik an Molekülen und Clustern. Zur Durchführung der Experimente nutzte er die gerade mit dem Nobelpreis für Physik ausgezeichnete "chirped-pulsed-amplification" (CPA) Technik, die es erlaubt Femtosekundenpulse hoher Intensität zu erzeugen. Unter anderem wurde er für seine Arbeiten mit dem Philip-Morris-Forschungspreis für die Steuerung chemischer Reaktionen durch Femtosekunden-Laserpulse ausgezeichnet. Von 1996 bis 2001 war er Initiator und Sprecher des DFG-Schwerpunktprogramms "Femtosekunden-Spektroskopie elementarer Anregungen in Atomen, Molekülen und Clustern", an dem auch unsere Arbeitsgruppe "Cluster und Nanostrukturen" beteiligt war. Gustav Gerber war Gast des Sonderforschungsbereich 652 und hat uns tatkrätig in unserer Forschung zur Starkfelddynamik von Clustern unterstützt.
Recent Topics
Highly charged Rydberg ions from the Coulomb explosion of clusters
Ion emission from a nanoplasma produced in the interaction of intense optical laser pulses with argon clusters is studied resolving simultaneously charge states and recoil energies. By applying appropriate static electric fields we observe that a significant fraction of the ions Arq+ ( q = 1 − 7 ) have electrons with binding energies lower than 150 meV, i.e. nRyd ≥ 15 levels are populated. Charge state changes observed on a μs time scale can be attributed to electron emission due to autoionizing Rydberg states, indicating that high- ℓ Rydberg levels are populated as well. The experiments support theoretical predictions that a significant fraction of delocalized electrons, which are bound with hundreds of eV to the nanoplasma after the laser exposure, fill up meV bound ion states in the adiabatic expansion. We expect the process to be relevant for the long-term evolution of expanding laser-induced dense plasmas in general.
Nanoplasmonic electron acceleration by attosecond-controlled forward rescattering in silver clusters
In the strong-field photoemission from atoms, molecules, and surfaces, the fastest electrons emerge from tunneling and subsequent field-driven recollision, followed by elastic backscattering. This rescattering picture is central to attosecond science and enables control of the electron's trajectory via the sub-cycle evolution of the laser electric field. Here we reveal a so far unexplored route for waveform-controlled electron acceleration emerging from forward rescattering in resonant plasmonic systems. We studied plasmon-enhanced photoemission from silver clusters and found that the directional acceleration can be controlled up to high kinetic energy with the relative phase of a two-color laser field. Our analysis reveals that the cluster's plasmonic near-field establishes a sub-cycle directional gate that enables the selective acceleration. The identified generic mechanism offers robust attosecond control of the electron acceleration at plasmonic nanostructures, opening perspectives for laser-based sources of attosecond electron pulses.
High performance charge-state resolving ion energy analyzer optimized for intense laser studies on low-density cluster targets
We report on a versatile ion analyzer which is capable to resolve ion charge states and energies with a resolution of E/ΔE = 100 at 75 keV/nucleon. Charge states are identified by their characteristic deflection in a magnetic field, whereas the ion energies are independently determined by a time-of-flight measurement. To monitor the signals a delay-line detector is used which records ion impact positions and times in each laser shot. Compared to conventional Thomson parabola spectrometers our instrument provides a low background measurement, hence a superior dynamic range. Further features are an improved energy resolution and a significantly increased transmission. We demonstrate the performance by showing charge-state resolved ion energy spectra from the Coulomb explosion of a low-density target, i.e., silver clusters exposed to intense femtosecond laser pulses.

Sports Car Loses Control, Killing Two in I-35 Accident
Posted By The Carlson Law Firm || 5-Dec-2011
Two people were killed early this morning after a small sports car lost control, smashing into an 18 wheeler truck.
The two people killed have not yet been identified but, according to police, both were occupants in the smaller vehicle involved in the semi-truck accident. They were pronounced dead at the scene of the big rig crash.
The southbound lanes of I-35 were closed by authorities, provoking drivers to use alternate routes and the nearby frontage road.
Officials attributed the accident, in part, to slick road conditions caused by recent rainfall, which may have led the driver of the sports car to lose control of the vehicle and spin out.

Flashback to wearing this colourful ankara maxi skirt in Fall
We've had a surprisingly mild Fall this year and I ain't complaining! Usually, at this time of the year, I'm scuttling around the city in my parka, zipped to the mouth, hoodie up, feet buried in my thickest boots and wondering why I haven't moved to somewhere with palm trees and margaritas! lol....sadly, it's gotten colder these past few weeks but still not as bad as it could have been.
Anyway, on this lovely mild Fall day, I was determined to wear this gorgeous ankara maxi shirt gifted to me by ankara fairy godmother (yes, I should be ashamed for accepting so much stuff!! She's so wonderful, I don't deserve her!!). I thought to myself 'how do I transition such a vibrant print to Fall?'....well, with a high-necked black sleeveless top, a leather jacket and some sensible heels that's how ;) I was having one of those I-have-no-idea-what-to-do-with-my-hair days so I put it up in a bun and tied a colourful scarf round it. Done! Fall appropriate but still vibrant! No bad, huh? ;)
P.S. Weirdly enough, Enma styled a maxi skirt ankara look a few weeks later with no input from myself. Like I always say, great fashionista minds think alike! hehehe

By Israel Zwick
When the Palestinian Intifada broke out in September 2000, world
sympathy was overwhelmingly in favor of the Palestinian uprising.
It seemed that everyone was shedding tears for the "poor, oppressed
Palestinians struggling for liberation from the lengthy, harsh Israeli
military occupation." With all the misery, poverty, disease,
disasters, and starvation in the world, the most tears were shed
for the "plight of the Palestinian refugees," who were
maintained in UNRWA refugee camps for 55 years. Collections of food,
money, and clothing were made for the "Palestinian children,
who were the neglected, innocent victims of the long, turbulent
conflict." This implied that that the Israeli children, who
were killed and maimed by Palestinian terror attacks, must have
been guilty victims. Their crime was to ride a Jewish bus on the
way to a Jewish school, in the free, democratic, sovereign, successful
Jewish State of Israel. On the other hand, Palestinian boys were
cheered and encouraged as they threw stones at the big, bad Israeli
soldiers with their long rifles and heavy riot helmets. The Palestinian
suicide bombers were glorified as martyrs, willing to sacrifice
their lives for the desperate struggle to obtain a little homeland
for their people. Their leader, Yasser Arafat, was honored by the
international community, as a statesman and recipient of the Nobel
Peace Prize. He was welcomed by Presidents and Prime Ministers around
the world who gave him hundreds of millions of dollars to help him
achieve his goal of "an independent Palestinian State with
Jerusalem as its capital."
In contrast, the State of Israel was verbally attacked and vilified
by journalists, academics, and diplomats. Renowned academics at
prestigious universities labeled Israel, "a racist, apartheid
state engaged in a program of genocide against the Palestinian people."
University presidents were urged to divest college funds from Israeli
institutions. Israeli produce was boycotted in Europe and left to
rot in their crates. Israeli policies towards the Palestinians were
compared to Nazi persecution of the Jews during the Third Reich.
When challenged to support these statements, Palestinian sympathizers
cited unsubstantiated Palestinian allegations about the Israeli
security practices at checkpoints, border crossings, and interrogations.
That's hardly a fitting comparison to transports, concentration
camps, gas chambers, and crematoria.
When the NY Times published a photo of a bloody teenage boy crouching
below an Israeli soldier, the world expressed outrage at the brutality
of the Israeli soldiers and wept for the unfortunate Palestinian
victim. This time, the tears only lasted for a few days until the
paper printed a correction that the Palestinian boy was actually
an American yeshiva student who was beaten by Palestinian youths,
and the soldier ran to assist him. Of course, a highly respected
paper like the NY Times can be forgiven for an occasional, little
error. On September 30, 2000, news media around the world showed
the image of 12-year old Muhammed Al-Durrah being shot and dying
in his father's arms. These images quickly became the symbol of
"Israeli brutality" and were used to justify the intifada.
Of course, nobody bothered to ask what he was doing with his father
in a combat zone, or whether he was really killed by an Israeli
bullet. A clue to those answers came from an interview that Sakhr
Habash, a member of the Fatah Central Committee, gave to a Palestinian
newspaper in December, 2002. He said, "We have weapons that
the Zionist enemy does not have. The boy- Fares Odeh who attacked
an Israeli tank with stones and was killed-is our strongest weapon.

If you are really serious about getting a job in New Zealand, please go through the thoughts below and some links to give yourself a better chance of working and living in New Zealand.
All the jobs that you come across on the site need you to be entitled to legally work in New Zealand, which means you should be a citizen or have a permanent residence to be considered for the job. It is a chicken and egg story, which one comes first? The visa or the job offer?
The answer lies in the talent which local companies can't find in New Zealand. This is what you should gather from the websites below –
a) Seek.co.nz – Complete your profile and keep it updated, customize the cover letter for each and every job with updated CV. Read the job description carefully, show in your cover letter and CV how your previous experience and your skills are the best fit for you to be hired. Imagine yourself to be the hiring manager and then work on your application.
b) Trade Me – Not focused only on jobs but gives good ones if you follow it through
c) Angel.co – If you want to work for start up's, more open to hiring people even offshore if you have the talent
d) New Kiwis – https://www.newkiwis.co.nz/ – good site for you to start.
It is easier said that done because you need to look at Seek and other sites below every day, then when you have a job opening of your liking work on your cv and cover letter. Apply knowing that there will be rejection as you don't have a permanent residence or a work permit. It takes at least 2-3 hours for you to complete the process in a day. And if you have more openings, shortlist them and work on each application based on the closing date. Remember, this is for you to get an idea of what companies in New Zealand are looking for in a candidate.
Make a note that many of the jobs have the hiring manager or recruiter's phone number and email id. If you want to be a bit smart, send an email to the contact person or the best way is to pick up the phone and call. Introduce yourself, explain why you this is a match made in heaven, don't take a lot of time (it's not about the international calling rate but people are busy and time is money so keep it brief) and if there is any chance they would consider your application. Also, please consider the timezone. If you are in India, make it a habit to get up early in the morning to make calls to New Zealand.
An easy way is to first go through the list of employers accredited with Immigration NZ. I posted a link recently: https://www.wellingtonnz.com/work/looksee-wellington/
Although the registration is over, it gives you a good idea about the kind of jobs available and candidates employers are looking for. If you have the skills to perform the jobs posted on this site, you probably have a high chance of getting hired by an accredited employer and given a job offer to apply for a work visa.
You can then work towards your permanent residence application in a few years while you are in New Zealand.
So here is your daily routine.
1) Before you go to bed in India, research all the sites above for jobs
2) Search if the employer is an accredited employer with Immigration NZ
3) Get up early in the morning – Apply, connect via email and call when you have the number. It is appreciated and shows that you really want to work. It also helps to get into the habit because office starts at 8 am or earlier and ends by 5 pm or earlier. So you will be in the groove when in New Zealand:)
Also check the skill sets that are in the skill shortage list (ref: skillshortages.immigration.govt.nz/), don't give up hope.
You can come to New Zealand to study a relevant qualification leading to you working and living in New Zealand. You may also be able to apply for a permanent residence offshore if you qualify based on the points required (160 as of now). You can then be legally entitled to work in New Zealand and apply for jobs from offshore and even when you reach New Zealand.
The journey is not easy as agencies make it sound. You may have received calls saying "Sir/Madam, you qualify for New Zealand or Australia and you can get a work visa or permanent residence through us."
Be very careful because they are not the ones authorized to give you the visa, they can only guide and assist. They have only seen your CV and have made a rough assessment that you qualify for points.
They have not assessed your educational qualification, experience level and skill match with the skills required in New Zealand/Australia so it is a shot in the dark.
Licensed Immigration Advisers are not placement agencies and recruiters are not licensed immigration advisers. Please understand that all the money spent is only going to make your journey frustrating if you blindly jump into it.
Please have good reasons in mind for you and your family to want to come overseas to live and work. Work on it, signing up with agencies is not a guarantee to getting an entitlement to live and work in New Zealand. You also have to work towards it.
It's like going to a tuition class for engineering, spending money and not studying on your own..you still have to study to get a good score right?

Paul Ellerby our Brain Injury Field Officer had a fantastic time yesterday with the students at Te Kura o Te Paroa, at their Health, Safety and Education Expo.
This was a great opportunity to show our young sportspeople how the brain works, what it looks like and why it is important to know about and recognize concussion at an early age. All kids need healthy and protected brains to grow to their potential!
Getting out into the community and sharing our knowledge around brain injury, disability support, equipment and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is an important part of what we do at Disabilities Resource Centre Trust. If your school or community group in the Eastern Bay of Plenty would like someone to come and give a presentation about any of those topics, contact us on 07 307 1447 or email@example.com

Biomass has a vital role to play in the UK's energy future. As a proven, mature technology with a renewable, varied and widely available fuel source it has the potential to make a major contribution to a sustainable and affordable solution to the challenges of energy security and climate change.
As the UK moves towards a diverse low-carbon energy mix we need to find new ways to balance demand and supply on the grid. Biomass plants are easily mobilised and able to provide a flexible, reliable supply of energy to stabilise the grid whenever necessary reducing the need for fossil fuel back-up capacity. Ready for deployment now and with comparatively low capital and operating costs biomass can deliver cost-effectively carbon savings for the UK taxpayer.
The biomass sector is already bringing in millions of pounds and supporting tens of thousands of UK jobs, with the right support it will continue to make a growing contribution to our economy.
The APPG was set up to explore all aspects of biomass use for the production of renewable energy, including: sustainability criteria, environmental impact, logistics, farming, forestry and its efficiency as a source of energy.
The APPG on Biomass was in operation between 2015 and 2017, but has chosen not to re-register on the Registry of All-Party Parliamentary Groups for the time being.
Between 2015 and 2017 the REA provided the secretariat for the APPG, which involved supporting the Chair and Officers in carrying out the work of the group. This included managing enquiries and day-to-day administration, as well as the organisation of meetings and events.
All APPG meetings and events were advertised on the All-Party Notices, those which are open to non-parliamentary members or the public were also be listed on the REA website.
Annual General Meeting
The group held it's 2016 Annual General Meeting (AGM) on September 6th 2016.
- View the AGM's minutes here.
- View the income and expenditure statement here.
Minutes of past meetings can be found below:
- Minutes of the event on 13 April 2016 can be found here.

owning it
Truly owning your space means offering something that no one else can. It means tapping into your strengths, your inspirations and your interests. It means defining your offering based on what you do uniquely well, rather than being led by industry norms or expectations.
It means carving out your own very unique space in an over-crowded market. It means buying yourself enough time to do the best job you can. It means only working with people who respect you and your work. It means never having to compete on price. It means showcasing what makes your work uniquely brilliant rather than 'marketing' in the expected sense. And that results in a steady stream of excited people waiting to work with you.
It means running a successful, inspirational and sustainable business. Which is a pretty incredible place to be, isn't it? It certainly puts a very different spin on how you go about marketing and promoting your business, doesn't it?
When you're stuck in the hustle, it can be hard to see the wood for the trees. Constantly pulled by lists of things 'to-do' rather than the instinctive draw of your inspiration, running your business can feel like a drudge. When you're stuck in the hustle it's easy to feel pulled. It's easy to surround yourself with noise. To lose your own clarity and vision and instead just 'get through'.
Taking the time to work out where your unique space is requires dedication. It'll take vision, confidence and bravery. It'll mean letting go of the work that doesn't feed your soul, that doesn't light you up and that isn't really your best work. It'll mean accepting that you'll turn away more work that you say yes to, but that there is more than enough work to sustain you.
It requires you to think big, be bold and find that unique spot that only you can own. And when you do, you'll find that magical things happen.
When you're the only company who can deliver that design/ photography/ flowers etc with quite the flair and vision that you bring, your clients will wait for you. They'll be prepared to invest in you. They'll trust you.
And in turn, you'll find you can trust your business.
Secure in the knowledge that no one can do quite what you do, you'll find you hustle less. You rush less. You stop chasing down every single lead and let the right ones float to the surface.
You can take the holiday. And I mean properly take the holiday: a total digital detox. Without needing to 'show up' on Instagram or check your emails or call your team every day. It'll all still be there when you get back refreshed. And because you're now trading on creativity, it's essential you give yourself space to rest.
It means you can focus on what you do best whilst sharing what inspires you and working in your flow. It means you can put your energy into your creative work and stretching yourself and your skills rather than thinking about 'marketing'. Because when you get this right, marketing is little more than showcasing the value in what you do. It's about sweeping your audience along with you, creating anticipation for what you'll do next and demonstrating just how brilliant you are.
Its about owning it. About working from a place of strength, confidence and utter uniqueness rather than looking over your shoulder at what everyone else is up to. And it starts with your magic.
