Start thinking about your website differently
It's easy to get caught up in the design, platform, and pages of your website without ever considering the purpose and role a website plays in your business.
Why is it so crucial that you (1) have a website in the first place and (2) put time and effort into setting it up correctly?
Because your website is your business's online home base. It's where all the important action happens.
It's where sales are made, portfolios are browsed, information is consumed, products are purchased, social media accounts are linked to, and contact forms are submitted.
It's the livelihood of your online business.
Social media sites are helpful for increasing exposure and promoting offerings, podcasts and webinars are great for expanding your reach, and your mailing list is crucial for making sales. But all of the above are merely funnels pointing back to your website.
So it's crucial that your website creates a striking first impression with your audience and easily guides them toward the action you want them to take.

Humans and the Lunar Cycle
Contributor: Saffron & Sage

When we think of our beings, we may not all think of them being connected to celestial beings. However, we do have a deep connection to the moon and the lunar cycle.
The lunar cycle is all about the movement of the moon and how it relates to Earth. As we orbit the sun, our moon orbits us, taking about 27 days to do so. In this time, we see the moon in different lights and in different forms (half-moon, crescent, etc.)
The moon has always been an important figure in human history. For centuries, it has been thought that the moon has severe effects on human mood and behavior. From Shakespeare's Othello to fears of Transylvania's werewolves to the suggested increases of hospital visits and accidents, people seem to have always suggested caution when it comes to the full moon.
There is a theory that the full moon does affect us in a way, however—though not directly. Our subconscious has a major effect on our day to day living, whether we realize it or not. The theory lies in the preconceptions we have about the full moon and our brains bringing them forth from our subconscious into our conscious mind, resulting in more erratic decision making and rash choices.
The changes in mood and behavior that we see are related to the way our brains react to the preconceived notions we have to the full moon, and our emotional reactions may not always entirely be in our control.
With all of this discussion of emotions, many think that women are more affected by the lunar cycle than men. While it may not be true when it comes to emotions and erratic behavior, there is some fact in the lunar cycle affecting women in a bigger way.
The lunar cycle is also related to our menstrual cycle, known as a moon cycle. Women are naturally synced with the lunar cycle, and our internal cycles parallel the moon's. For women who do not take a birth control and are naturally synced with the moon, menstruation will take place around the new moon, and ovulation will take place at the full moon. As well, the length of the menstrual cycle is related to the waxing and waning period of the moon.
Seeing if your body is synced with the moon can be a wonderful, natural way to see if your menstrual cycle is healthy. If not, not to worry! If you want to, there are ways to alter the timing of your cycle. Mindbodygreen suggests going out into the moonlight and taking notes on how your cycle behaves. Eventually your body will end up realigning itself naturally.
There is a grain of truth when it comes to the moon affecting us. Use it to your advantage and better your body and mind with our celestial friend!

The harvest of 2013 should have been a windfall for prairie farmers. Instead, the grain industry lost billions. Here's why farmers blame the railways – and why they're banding together to change the rules
Alberta Venture, December 2015
Kelly McIntyre has finally quelled the fallout from his 2013 harvest. It should have been one of the best years ever for the Fairview farmer; wheat production across the prairies was up almost 40 per cent from a year earlier. Instead, it was a crisis. There weren't enough railcars to get his grain – or anyone else's – to the coast. By January of 2014, prairie elevators were at a bin-busting 95 per cent capacity while export terminals in Vancouver sat hollow at just 30 per cent. "Everyone in Canada seemed to know that there was a huge crop coming," McIntyre says, "except the railroads."
Two months later, Gary Stanford was at a world grain summit in Singapore. A farmer near Magrath, a small town near the Montana border, he was representing the Grain Growers of Canada, where he's president. He was the last slated speaker, and when his turn came he had to change the tenor of his speech. Speaker after speaker decried Canada's transportation system for its inability to get grain to tidewater. They told buyers to look elsewhere.
"I couldn't believe what I was hearing," Stanford says. "I had to change my speech to say, 'Hey, look, we have the biggest crop there is and we're trying to get it out. We're working with the railways to move it, and I don't want our reputation to be tarnished.'"
The backlog was a bi-partisan issue the likes of which Canada rarely sees. Even Green Party Leader Elizabeth May stood with former Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who said, "We simply cannot accept outcomes where those two big companies would dictate to the market just what they think is satisfactory in their interests."
To cope with the backlog, McIntyre took out a loan and built two new storage bins at a cost of almost $120,000. He also stopped signing contracts months ahead of delivery, to reduce penalties should he be unable to deliver. It's an upended way to run a business. But he hopes an upcoming review of the Canada Transportation Act, which governs the railways and their relationship with grain producers, will mean he'll never have to face this bind again.
Today, half of Canada's grain output is exported and 94 per cent moves by rail. (Five trains can fill a bulk carrier in Vancouver harbour; it would take about 1,250 tractor-trailers to do the same, costing five times as much.) Wheat, canola and other cereal grains account for almost 11 million of the 55 million yearly tonnes of rail commodities leaving Alberta, leading to a $16-billion industry. CN Railway and CP Railway are the keys to international markets.
But by February 2014, the whole supply chain had fractured. Data from CN showed it needed more than 24,000 rail cars to fill its orders. Wade Sobkowich, the executive director of the Western Grain Elevator Association, whose members include Cargill, Viterra, and Richardson Pioneer, said CN and CP were sending 8,000 cars per week, but he needed 12,000. In one week, the WGEA reported a 40,266-rail car shortfall, with just 27 per cent of rail cars moving on time. By March, Sobkowich said the railways had failed to fill orders for 60,000 rail cars. Sixty million tonnes of grain were stranded.
The railways blamed the backlog on inclement weather (below -25 C, railways plan for shorter trains, decreasing capacity) and unforeseeable grain volumes. "Once the cold abated, CN was back to moving record volumes of grain," says Mark Hallman, director of media relations for CN. CP spokesperson Jeremy Berry says, "If it had been a normal crop, the supply chain would have been able to deal with it," although the significantly reduced 2014 harvest still faced an average weekly shortfall of almost 4,000 rail cars. The federal government nevertheless passed the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act, or Bill C-30, on March 7, 2014, mandating that for 90 days – the government later extended the terms – each railway provide a minimum of 5,500 hopper cars per week or face $100,000 a day in penalties.
"It's a sad day for Canada when the government decides to hit one sector of the economy in order to placate a vocal constituency," said Claude Mongeau, the CEO of CN. Farmers and shippers, however, saw it not as an outlier but as the bubbling of latent tensions. Grain production increases every year, yet the railways allocate cars based on historic averages. It's true that the railways move record volumes of grain, but former Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz calls this a self-fulfilling prophecy. "Railways only recognize the cars they allocate – they don't recognize the cars that are asked for," he says. "[The railways] say, 'Hey, we're measuring up!' Well, you're measuring up on your own terms, not what's actually been asked of you. A mea culpa moment needs to happen with the railways for them to readjust their business plan."
But readjust how? Of the 340 inland prairie grain terminals, just six are served by both CP and CN. Sobkowich calls the railways a "dual monopoly." And grain farmers are disproportionately affected because unlike other commodity producers, they aren't also the shipper, and can't scale back production when rail capacity is scarce. And affect them it did – the Alberta Federation of Agriculture estimated the overall cost of the 2013-14 backlog was up to $8 billion. Shippers paid demurrage costs to vessels waiting in port, at up to $35,000 per day. By February, the industry had paid $20 million in demurrage costs alone. If the shippers couldn't make the delivery window, they faced contract extension penalties; if they couldn't deliver at all, they paid contract defaults. "I have one customer who couldn't deliver to the U.S., and he had to pay more than $1 million in contract defaults because the customer went somewhere else," Sobkowich says.
McIntyre, meanwhile, couldn't sell his grain because shippers wouldn't take on any new contracts. He carried more than 50 per cent of his wheat into the next year. Needing cash flow, he took out a loan nearly twice what he was comfortable with. Stanford had $52,000 worth of grain waiting for delivery by March. The glut caused the price of wheat and canola, the two biggest crops, to dive by almost 30 per cent.
One bad year, however, pales in comparison to the losses of an industry selling to rail capacity rather than demand, at the mercy of railways in whose interest it is to preclude additional capacity. They want 100 per cent asset utilization, Sobkowich says; high operating ratios sell stocks. Railways know they'll move the grain eventually. CP CEO Hunter Harrison admitted as much when in March 2014 he told a Wall Street audience not to worry about the winter impacting container traffic. "It's not like grain … [where] if you're a bit late you're still going to haul it," he said.
Producers' and shippers' biggest complaint is that there's no commensurate penalty for the railways when they don't provide cars on time. Penalties produce results for shippers – when the railways spot a train for shippers to load, they load it within 24 hours more than 90 per cent of the time, as the railway tariffs outline. Grain companies can file a "level of service" complaint, as the Canadian Wheat Board did after the 1996 backlog, but it's a year-long process that costs around $1 million in legal fees. They can obtain a service level agreement from the railway, where an arbitrator dictates terms for a one-year period, but the arbitrator can't rule on penalties.
Murdoch MacKay is the chair of the Canadian Grain Commission, which was formed as the Board of Railway Commissioners in 1904 as a response to CP's monopoly and is responsible for regulating the grain-handling industry. He's also chair of the Crop Logistics Working Group (CLWG), a consortium revived by Ritz last year to provide feedback on crop transportation. Sobkowich, Stanford and McIntyre, who sits on the board of Canadian Canola Growers Association, are involved through their organizations. And when the Canada Transportation Act, the federal statute that enables the Canadian Transportation Agency, went up for review, as it does twice a decade, the CLWG compiled a report with eight recommendations. Fuelled by the 2013 crisis, the report reads: "Most shippers are served by only one carrier. This reality renders most shippers captive to one rail company and subject to pricing and service strategies that are characteristic of monopolistic behaviour."
The CLWG members see the Canada Transportation Act review as a critical opportunity for the kind of structural change at which previous negotiations failed. When pro-market organizations call for more regulation from the federal government, it's a mark of urgency. The "dual monopoly" won't be challenged anytime soon – neither CN nor CP are keen on sharing lines to increase capacity, and while rural co-operatives have bought decommissioned rail lines, their impact is akin to a farmer's market on Safeway. No one is suggesting a return to nationalized rail companies, but reciprocal penalties would be the easiest way to boost the railways' movement of grain and allow the industry to expand. A competitive market, after all, is supposed to ensure shippers can take their business elsewhere if their main carrier isn't serving them. Under the current system, their only options are to put up or board up.
When Sobkowich looks 10 years down the road, he sees two possible scenarios: in one, the review of the Canada Transportation Act spurs fundamental change to the dual monopoly of the railways. Prairie farmers are increasing their capacity, expanding their farms and shipping their product in a competitive environment.
The other? "It'd look a lot like today, I guess," he says. "Which means that when we get a larger crop, there are problems all over the place, prices to the farmer are compressed and grain companies aren't competing for grain because they can't move it anyway. And when cold weather hits, we're going to see the same drop in capacity, and we'll still end up with the railways putting as few resources as they can get away with into the system while returning as much value as they can to their shareholders, at the cost of their customers."
The CLWG has submitted its recommendations, and the government will have the review concluded and its summary presented before the end of the calendar year. We'll have to wait and see down which road Sobkowich – and all Prairie farmers – will be headed.

A Sister-Supported Journey To Manifest Your Healthy Goal
I am calling together women who desire to bring forth into the Now that which they have been putting off for months or, even, years (!!!), yet know that with support, attention and focus, they can WOW themselves by reaching their desires, seeing their intentions realized for how they want to feel and reaching their goals for how they want to be in the world.
When is the last time you chose to focus on yourself, your goals? This program is a way to not only take time for yourself, but focus it intentionally on that health piece you are ready to birth! It's time to say YES to yourself, let go of fear, or whatever may be holding you back. This is a sister-supported journey to reach your goals. We are all here for each other!
WOW Now
You have healthy goals that will make you FEEL BETTER, HAVE MORE ENERGY, RESPOND INSTEAD OF REACT, and make you the EMBODIED AND POWERFUL woman you are meant to be. To set and reach goals requires the ability to embrace change, both on the path to that goal and in achieving it. Igniting the fire to want to make change is the first step. To keep going requires commitment and determination. Are you reaching your goals? Do you want support? There's a place for you at the table...
Each women that joins this 14-week journey beginning on March 26th, 2018, is bringing to the altar of NOW something they are ready to transform into WOW! For me, this WOW is a way to bring community, sisterhood, focus and commitment to intentionally Working Out Wonderfully (WOW) that mental or physical habit we've wanted to manifest for ages. We may have been building resolutions around it for years, but somehow it has never made it to the front of the bus, and NOW is the time to MAKE IT MATTER!
Are you willing to do what it takes to make your dreams come true? At the center of reaching your goals is the need for self-reliance, self-worth and support. You Matter!!! Each person in this program will choose what they are bringing to the altar of NOW and we will set our intentions TOGETHER, be accountable for them, develop action plans, and allow our creativity to support the manifestation of the courage and willpower that will easefully help us walk the path to our goals. Being in community with others allows for new opportunities and experiences to occur and inspire us. The people we choose to surround ourselves with have the biggest influence on our success.
You CHOOSE
Reaching goals is about getting command of your mind to make choices aligned with the path that gets you there! If you have your eye on a healthy goal, it's in your sights! This program will help you fine tune your vision to see the steps to get there. It will allow you to live your life according to your own expectations of what's possible and achieve those possibilities!
Every day that we make choices that are not in our best interest is a day that keeps us from our goals. A day that has passed where we are not living into the future we desire. Yes, there can be circumstances outside of your control that may make your goals challenging. I believe challenging goals motivate us to reach our potential. I believe support is the number one thing to help you get where you want to go!
(JP Kim, Acrylic on Canvas)
If you're walking a misaligned path and blaming it on everything and everyone else, you're only making it worse. You can stop yourself from getting what you dream. Is that what you're doing? It's okay. I've been there and done that, too. But you know what, You Can Choose The Path to GET WHAT YOU DREAM! And I can support you in that choice!
In this 14-week WOW program, there will be a secret online community, supportive sisterhood, Intentional Creativity journal prompts and online community coaching by yours truly (JP Kim) to act as your guides and be your pillars of strength to alchemize what has been holding you back. To let go of what is no longer serving you. To break free of old stories. Part of the magic of the Intentional Creativity method, which I will be guiding you through, is the vast ability it offers you to gain insights and the wisdom needed to break free of past stories and patterns that have been holding you to a place you no longer wish to be. In this supportive sisterhood community, you will finally adopt your new healthier habits.
Statistics show that most 14-week programs with live coaching cost over $1799! I offer this program at a significantly reduced price to make it accessible for most women who are tired of putting off their goals, who are ready to leap forward into their dreams with support, community, creativity, and coaching! I offer this as a labor of love and service to set you on your path! Are you ready to join me? We will begin on March 26th, 2018.
The time is NOW
Research suggests is takes 21 days to build a new habit. Here we have nearly 100 days for less than it would cost to eat out a couple of times per week. In 14 weeks, magic can happen. You MATTER! The time is NOW! Your goal is in reach and with a secret online community, supportive sisterhood, Intentional Creativity journal prompts and painting, plus online community coaching by JP Kim, you will be supported as you journey towards your goal!

WOW starts March 26th, 2018
In sisterhood, we are all on the journey together! While I will be your host, I will also be reaching for a goal, stretching out of my comfort zone. It's so easy to get lost in the busy-ness of life and lose focus on what really matters most: your health and your mental state. I know so many women, including myself that have been swearing we would take off that extra weight, start and stick to a mediation practice, a journaling practice, that mindfulness thing that makes us feel good when we do it every day. There are so many things that should be non-negotiable, but somehow they are last on your list, right? I get it.
Get Personal
The Aha in the Wow
Personal Story and Why WOW Now
I was greatly inspired at the beginning of this month while teaching with a team of Intentional Creativity® teachers at a large retreat serving over 80 women on the Big Island of Hawaii. Experiencing the needs and desires for transformation made me feel it was time for me to make WOW happen NOW. Now, instead of waiting for things to be perfect.
I believe there is perfection in imperfection. Sure, there will always be changes and preparations we can do to make things better, or spend eons to get "ready" to do something that seems to always be in the planning stages. I understand. I've been there. I could always work more on my website, I could continue to practice filming more online classes, I could reserve myself for working only with private clients, I could hide myself away until I reach a body weight I feel completely comfortable with, I could put off connecting with others that have the need for help surrounding their healthy goals until I complete a half marathon. Truth is, we're all always trying to wait for the perfect conditions (mental, physical, internal, external) to do something. Procrastinate much?
I decided I'm done waiting. Seeing those 80 women show up and claim time for themselves was inspiring. But hearing how they all put off their passions, hardly ever take time for themselves, or always put themselves last, was a rebel cry that i had to answer!!! Yes is a choice and I am ready to serve those ready to journey seriously towards their healthy goals with me. I choose to be here now to raise us all up! I'm not perfect, but I know how to move forward with determination, perseverance, enthusiasm, and positivity.
I've led a life-long quest for understanding consciousness. I've examined it through philosophy of mind, cognitive psychology, dynamical systems, and creativity. I Don't Have All The Answers, but what I do know is that The Areas of Our Life We Choose to dedicate ourselves to Wholeheartedly Is Where We Find Success. It may not manifest in a way we expect, but success shows up as a miracle in the way that best serves our growth and goals. That manifestation of our goals is achieved more easefully when we are in community with others intentionally focused on making that journey together. This makes the soil more fertile for the planting of the intentions and the birthing of those miracles.
Waiting for the perfect conditions is just another self-debilitating behavior we allow when we're not focused on what's important. Patterns and behaviors that spin us in circles of never being good enough, ready enough, worthy enough keep us from the highest, brightest from of ourselves.
What is included in this program?
In the 14-week online WOW coaching program, you get:
- Support and connection with amazing women in a private, intentional community directed to steer, encourage, comfort, support and inspire you on your chosen way.

I will guide you step by step, week by week, as we journey to our goal through practice and painting. The Intentional Creativity® process will be infused in our painting and all of our actions through the program.
- At completion, you will have a Goddess of Well-Being Painting who will serve to remind you of your power, strength, self-reliance, courage and will power that you manifested to reach your goal!
- The skills to feel embodied and powerful
- Capacities for increasing your energy and feeling better
- The capacity to consciously respond instead of react
- The proof that you are an Empowered Woman on the your chosen path
As a special BONUS, these AMAZING guest speakers will share INSPIRATION during your journey:
- Jennifer Bowers
- Katherine Witteman

- Tania Magennis
What's the story you tell yourself to hold yourself back? What are you waiting for? Why not NOW? There is a bridge that can get you to WOW. The portals of possibility exist and can be accessed through creativity. In our journey we'll be using magic pens and magic paintbrushes to discover new pathways, to help us re-write our stories. It's time to be the star of the story, the (s)hero, and show yourself and everyone else how it can be done!
The 14-week WOW program includes the spaciousness to create our greatest ally, the Goddess of Wellbeing. Fourteen gorgeous, community supported, coach driven, creativity opening, magical weeks for AMAZING TRANSFORMATIONS (that's nearly 100 days!!!). What could you do in 100 days?
Self-Actualization and Creativity
"JP Kim's programs are such a great exercise in self actualization and creativity. Powerful and fun - a good combo!"
Jessica K. Santa Cruz, CA
Energy and Positivity
"I loved JP Kim's energy, positivity, creativity and enthusiasm, and her ability to make everyone feel connected. These were the best things I liked about working with her. I would absolutely recommend JP and her coaching services because she is talented and what she shares has a great value. JP is fun to be with and to learn from. The most important thing people should know about working with her is that she is warm and open-hearted, has a sense of humor and directness."
Marie Vickers, Inspired Space Stylist, Feng Shui Consultant and Professional Organizer for fengshuimodern.com
GREAT Coach!
"JP Kim is fun, energizing, to the point and shows me where I need to go (in the next step on my journey) very clearly and succinctly (in other words, she is a GREAT coach!). I've also benefited by seeing others do the same process and reading comments in her complimentary private Facebook community. I think the most important thing about working with her is that she has the ability to see everyone on their own individual path and is there to meet them where they are at! I really enjoyed working with JP and was delighted at the journey I took and surprised at the outcome in such a short amount of time."
Tania Magennis, Wonthaggi, Victoria, AU, fireinherbelly.com
Attention to Detail Amazing
Once I met JP Kim, I was excited to work with her! The Red Thread Circle was such a great bonding experience for all of us! I was amazed how quickly I felt the closeness of everyone go very deep. JP's attention to detail about every little thing was amazing! And I like how she kept encouraging everyone throughout the entire workshop. I love seeing my red thread circle bracelet. It reminds me of JP and the women and our time together! JP Kim has a lot of wisdom inside of her to share. Her passion and enthusiasm for this work shines through.
Julie Elliott, Holistic Beauty Artist
No art experience needed!
I was hesitant about the creativity session, being hopeless at art. I was hoping I wouldn't be expected to create a portrait, still life, etc. An important thing people should know about working with JP Kim is that you don't need any artistic experience to participate in any of her Creativity Sessions. JP will guide you through the process and you'll be surprised with the outcome! For me, that's meant having what I created as a permanent reminder of what is important to me in life. I also enjoyed the Red Thread Circle-it's important to know that as 'sisters' we are all linked & can draw on others experience, help & guidance... knowing we can 'tug' our imaginary thread at any time to call on our 'sisters.'

Dan and I had been hearing really great things about a new studio in Bountiful called Hello Audrey. We were so thrilled when the Cary Family decided they wanted their pictures done there! Hello Audrey has a lot of unique backdrops, our favorite is their copper wall...yes it really is a copper wall! Amazing right?!
The different backdrops fit perfectly with the Cary family. They were all so well dressed that it made this session feel fancy and formal and we loved it! Family portraits have become something Dan and I really love to photograph. It's special for us to see how different families interact with each other. Those moments are so precious to capture. We hope you love these images as much as we do!

Have you ever given someone advice and immediately thought that totally applied to yourself? Some of the best advice we can give is to ourselves. This mindset coaching article will provide you with the tools to know when you're giving advice that will benefit you as well.
Let's talk about opinions for a moment. Opinions are like assholes, we all have them. Giving someone your opinion doesn't make it right, it's your opinion. We say that opinion based on what benefits us. Right or wrong it's just how most people are wired. Because of our parents or whoever raised you, that's where you get that inner voice from. Unless you do the work to change that voice, it will always be the same. That's a different article though.
Getting back to some of the best advice we can give is to ourselves. Now, when you're giving advice it comes from a place of experience. If you've never experienced it before, then you speaking to it comes from pure make-believe. Listening to someone and giving advice is fun for me. It comes naturally because I am a listener by choice. I'd rather listen to someone for as long as they can talk and then give them my "opinion". Just know that my opinion is always based on empathy.
Time Flys When You're Having Fun!
If I've never been through it, then I don't give much advice on it. When you're talking to someone and time seems like it has gone away, that is when you're in your truest form of yourself. That's when the advice you're giving is usually meant for yourself. As I'm writing this article I find that this is the best advice for me that I can give.
Are You Telling Yourself Lies On A Daily Basis?
As you talk more from a place of truth you'll get deeper into your true self. 99% of people are too afraid to go there because they don't want to face themselves. Facing themselves means that they have to be completely honest and stop telling lies to other people and themselves. To be honest, they need to stop telling themselves the lies. Self-awareness is the key component to giving some of the best advice.
Begin taking your own advice from a place of truth. Feeling your truth means feeling it in your body. For me, I feel my truth when my heart beats very hard. It means my body is telling me something that I need to follow. It may come from your head and that is your ego aka your analytical mind. The analytical mind plays tricks all the time. Knowing how to shut it up is the key to giving some of your best advice.
Once you begin to take responsibility for every thought, every action and every word you produce in your day, then you're in your truth. Being 1oo% ok with every outcome without any expectation will produce a life you'll want to live. Now, what does that mean? It means that you are one decision, one conversation, one thought and one action away from being the person you want to become.
How do you do that? You start by noticing your thoughts and emotions. Some call it meditation. You don't have to do anything fancy, but be still. You can even sit and read a book if you'd like. It required no electronics though. Even sitting here reading this you're on something electronic. Put it all down and go within. Do this for 5 minutes a day and you won't believe the ripple effect you'll create.
Some of the best advice we can give is to ourselves. It's so true that when you give advice to people after you acquire this ability will only reflect what you truly love and believe. People will respond to you on a deeper level and take in what you have to say as truth and law. This comes with great responsibility though. People abuse this ability all the time. Be very aware of why you're doing what you're doing. That's my fear talking and as I write this I'm loving that I just recognized it.
Learning never stops. Because if you stop learning you stop living. It would be the death of me, literally, if I stopped learning. So take the advice I'm giving you today and get your WOD done. I'm taking it in as I give it to you. I'll leave you with a quote that has provided a great amount of value…
You Get To Keep What You Give Away
Have Fun!
You Got This!

Women's Basketball Opens Regular Season With 59-37 Victory
Nov. 24, 2002
CORVALLIS, Ore. - Oregon State's women's basketball team rolled to a 59-37 victory against Western Oregon University on Sunday afternoon in the season opener for both squads.
It was a defensive battle from the start as both teams struggled to get things going offensively. Oregon State was stymied by Western Oregon's zone defense and the Wolves struggled to handle the Beavers' pressuring player-to-player.
OSU opened a 5-2 lead with 15:54 to go but Western responded with six-straight points to take its largest and only advantage of the contest (8-5).
Beaver freshman Anita Rivera came off the bench and nailed a 3-pointer at the 13:27 mark to knot the score and spark a 24-6 run to close out the half.
Oregon State held Western without a field goal over a 10-minute stretch in the opening frame, to take a 29-14 advantage into the locker room.
The Wolves battled back in the second half, pulling within 11 points (39-28) with 11:56 remaining after Serenity Ragone capped off a 10-4 WOU run with a lay-up.
OSU junior Leilani Estavan answered with a 3-point field goal and the rest of the Beavers woke up offensively, putting the game out of reach with an 18-4 burst over the next five minutes.
Estavan finished with a team-high 12 points to go along with four steals and four assists. No other Beaver player reached double figures in scoring but 10 of the 12 athletes that saw action in the game finished with at least two points.
Junior transfer Krystal Turner just missed a double-double with eight points and a game-high 10 rebounds. Junior post Brina Chaney added eight boards as Oregon State held a 41-28 rebounding edge, including a commanding 19-8 advantage on the offensive glass.
'Defense wins,' said OSU head coach Judy Spoelstra. 'We have a lot of offensive things to work on.'
Western's Nicole Calderon of Alsea, OR, took game-high scoring honors with 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting from the field.
Oregon State returns to action against University of Portland on Tuesday. The Beavers and Pilots will tip-off at 7 p.m. in the Chiles Center. The game is the second half of a double-header with the OSU and UP volleyball squads hitting the court at 5 p.m.

Hiking, backpacking, and camping throughout Southern California and beyond
I am a happy father and husband. I am a typical guy, not an athlete or someone with an extensive amount of time off. I work my outdoor adventures into an otherwise busy life with family and work obligations. I just put hiking and the outdoors high on my priority list of things to do when I have a chance.
I was born and raised in Southern California. During my youth, I was lucky enough to have had many family trips to Sequoia and I also had an organized and motivated scoutmaster. We went on many camping trips throughout the years, including what we called "Sierra Trips," which were strenuous multi-day trips in the Sierra Nevada. Because of my father and my scoutmaster, I have developed a lifelong passion for the outdoors.
By age 15, I had: • Camped in the desert, beach, and on Catalina Island • Canoed 50 miles along the Colorado River • Climbed Mount Whitney at the end of a 9-day hike from Cedar Grove (age 12) - I returned to Mount Whitney in 2010 • Hiked for 7 days cross-country through the Sierras • Snow-camped on San Jacinto
I moved to San Diego in 2000 and have loved it. I moved to the Santa Barbara area in 2011. I moved back to San Diego in 2014 and am still determined to hike all over this place.
I was on a quest to summit 100 peaks in San Diego and publish a guide book. After hiking 66 peaks in San Diego, in 2011 I received a job offer in Santa Barbara and I took it. I was then hiking in Los Padres National Forest, including Ventura and started a new list.
I then got laid off, moved back to San Diego, and am starting a restaurant in Escondido called Burger Bench. I am getting onto the trails as much as I can.
I also take trips all over, from Mount Ka'ala on Oahu, the Chicago Basin in Colorado, to Wheeler Peak, the New Mexico high point and beyond.
I am not sure the fate of the book. I have since added maps and more information about my hikes, so that people can use the site as a guide book of sorts. I am continually courting the idea of monetizing the site somehow. As of right now, there is only the occasional affiliate link, which really doesn't net me much at all.
Feel free to Contact Me if you have any questions, have input on the site, or would just like to reach out.
I hope to see you on the trail.

Thanks to the Mafia
Although the Mafia was only concerned with their own self-interests, a lot of Italians owe them, to a certain extent, a debt of gratitude. Yeah, I know that the Mafia did extort their own, however the Mafia also happened to be the people that put into place the Italian politicians, Italian judges, and Italian police chiefs. The one responsible for creating these changes happened to be the gangster, Frank Costello. In the late 30s, 40s, and mid-50s, Frank Costello was the boss of bosses and he decided that he wanted to restructure all of these avenues, so that the people would look like him. By him, and other Mafiosi, joining together to make these restructures, they paved the way for younger Italians to have a better way of living.
The reason that America had to withstand the birth of the American Mafia is largely due to the fact that the first-generation Italians and Jewish people were disenfranchised, just like Melanoid people currently are today. Due to America treating these immigrants like second-class citizens, Melanoid people were, and still are, treated like third-class citizens, they had to work long hours for very little pay and scrape to get by. Due to this, their children got to see firsthand that America was not the promise land that they had envisioned it to be. They got to see that America was very prejudice and racist against those that were not considered to be White, at this time Italians and Jews were not considered to be White. Due to this, a collection of the first-generation immigrants' kids decided that they were not going to be like their parents, but instead were going to achieve their American dream by their own means; this led to Italian and Jewish gangs. These young ruffians grew up and went from being hoodlums to gangsters. They became very organized and used their money and their guns to achieve their American dream. Furthermore, as they became wealthy and powerful in the underworld, they also solidified their power in general society by buying politicians, paying off police chiefs, and bribing judges. They even had laws changed to their benefit. However, Frank Costello eventually decided that he wanted to just restructure all of these areas so that there would be Italians within these positions. Once he did this, he laid the foundation for later generations to come up without having to result to crime because naturally Italians would be interested in seeing other Italians thrive.
A lot of Melanoid people would do well to take a look at history and how policies have come into place and how people have come into positions of power.

My father, Roy Walter, established Mark TK Welding in 1972 with my brother, Roy "BUD" Walter, and myself, Scott Walter. We started working at the local strip mines with portable equipment and had a very small shop in Cadogan. After a few years Roy decided to establish his own business known as Walter Contracting. It is a successful home remodeling business.
In 1984 my father and I purchased some land right outside of Kittanning and built a shop. My father passed away before the relocation was complete and I continued the business on my own. Since the relocation, our business has grown with the industry around us. We support several local companies such as Amfire Mining, Rosebud Mining, Bradigans Inc., Good Tire Service, and Mark Ann Trucking just to name a few.
We have many capabilities now and have an excellent workforce of capable individuals including my wife, Denise, my son, Brad, my daughter, Lindsay, and my son in law, Matt. We look forward to providing your needs.
We're committed to building a weld you can be proud of.
Our staff members are highly skilled and have years of experience and certifications. But, their dedication to making sure your needs are met doesn't come from that, it comes from within. And it's embraced and appreciated by all of our staff.
Get to know our experienced welders. They've got the skills, and a desire to help. Come see why no shop is as qualified or convenient as we are.

Judy The Padded Bag-custom order
One of my regular customers asked, quite a while ago, if I could put padding in my Scooter Zip Bags? I gave it a shot and it turned out so well that I added it to my line. I generally have one listed and suggest the customer select the fabric and make size adjustments if needed.
They have a variety of uses including carrying an iPod, mp3 player and in smaller sizes, such as The Raven coin purse, for carrying flash drives.
I did a custom order last week and the customer was very pleased. She gave me permission to include her response here!
"Karen, the box arrived this afternoon and I am Knocked Out by the bags -- I knew they would be beautiful, but the workmanship is really superb -- these are absolutely great -- you are an amazing artist."

What are Soap Nuts, and where do they come from?
I shall start off with the technicalities. The species of soap nuts we supply is the Sapindus Mukorossi species of the Sapindaceae (soap berry) family. The fruit of the large deciduous Sapindus Mukorossi tree which grows in northern parts of India and Nepal are not really nuts at all, but are actually berries. The outer part of the berry, or the meat, is more like a thick skin which secretes a substance called Saponin. Saponin is a surfactant, or a "substance that when dissolved in water or an aqueous solution, reduces its surface tension" (dictionary definition). This allows dirt and grime to become suspended in the water rather than being stuck to your clothing (or hands, or dishes etc.). These berries once they are ripe, fall from the tree, are harvested, de-seeded, and dried in the sun to become what we know as the common (or not-so-common yet in Canada) Soap Nut. Being essentially nothing but a dried fruit, they are dye and fragrance free and completely compostable once they have been used several times.
Find out even more about Soap Nuts by visiting the Frequently Asked Questions and Uses pages.

MAPS- Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies & their Struggle to Bring Medicinal Marijuana Research to the Masses
One organization that is doing amazing research into the therapeutic effects of cannabis as well as other substances, is MAPS- Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies. MAPS has been around since 1986 as a 501c3 non-profit ran by Rick Doblin Ph.D. MAPS has received regulatory approval to conduct a study on marijuana administered through smoking. The study will research marijuanas effects on the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans of war. On March 14, 2014, the U.S. Public Health Service approved the study which was in the works for 22 years. "On December 17, 2014, MAPS was awarded a $2 million grant from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to complete the study." This study has the full approval of the DEA, FDA, and Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and began January of 2017 in Arizona. GO SCIENCE!
I personally highly recommend the following podcasts if you are interested in the work MAPS does and their hurtles, or the founder Rick Doblin. They are amazing 3 hour podcasts with The Powerful Joe Rogan and you will really get a feel for what Dr. Doblin is fighting for.
JRE Episode #371 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DRQP2CiMHU
JRE Episode #782 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DRQP2CiMHU
MAPS has been in a very long drawn out battle to obtain an approved supply of marijuana in order to conduct research into the potential therapeutic effects of both smoked and vaporized marijuana. What obstructs their procurance is NIDA-National Institute on Drug Abuse has a monopoly of the research approved supply. NIDAs supply is of insufficient potency than is on the market today and tends to favor research exploring the harmful effects of marijuana usage rather than therapeutic effects, but MAPS still needs them due to them having all the power. NIDA has refused MAPS a supply on 2 separate sponsored protocols despite FDA approval.
MAPS is working on launching a legitimate drug development research program which would take about 10 years and 10 MILLION dollars, but first gaining access to an independent source of legal medical grade marijuanna is necessary. MAPS has worked since 2001 in unison with Prof. Lyle Craker, UMass Amherst Dept. of Plant and Soil Sciences to gain permission from the DEA to establish a medical marijuana production facility to grow highly potent FDA approved medical marijuana. WOW what a struggle 17 years!
MAPS ultimate goal is to bring FDA-approved prescription marijuana forward as a medicine to market under a nonprofit pharmaceutical model comparable to Population Council's development and distribution of RU-486.
MAPS is also trying to bring a FDA-approved marijuana vaporizer in order to conduct a drug development research program to perform clinical research that would suffice the, "Institute of Medicine's recommendation for a non-smoking delivery system with a system that uses the organic plant rather than chemical extractions or synthetic chemicals."
MAPS Timeline-Legal Battles
FUN FACT: DEA Officials have recommended Syndros, a synthetic liquid form of THC be approved for s schedule II drug under federal law, inadvertently admitting THC has a medical benefit. THE FDA determined in 2016 that it was safe and effective for patients with cancer and AIDS. Syndros is the first synthetic liquid cannabinoid to be approved by the FDA for use by prescription.
Syndros is made by Insys Therapeutics, who donated 500,000 last year in order to defeat Arizona's Proposition 205, a statewide ballot initiative to regulate the adult use, cultivation, and sale of cannabis. The measure failed. The company is also seeking to bring a synthetic version of cannabidiol to market.

The day we fitted Aiden for hearing aids, they told us not to expect much from him in the means of seeing reactions - he had a profound loss, he was DEAF and they probably wouldn't do much. It tore me up inside. I wanted my baby to hear my voice NOW not later. I refused to believe them and I fed my child every ounce of language and all the listening opportunities I could. I became a walking auditory verbal model. I put his hearing aids on when he woke up and took them off when he slept; and after a month or so of still not seeing a reaction, I didn't quit. At Aiden's first soundbooth, post hearing aids, he tested around 80db across frequencies. By the time he was 9 months old, they questioned holding off on his simultaneous CI surgery as he was testing up to 50 db across frequencies. HE LOVES TO LISTEN.
Before Aiden's CI surgery, I set up a schedule with our audiologist for Aiden's multitude of mapping appointments. I wanted both ears to be activated at once, she did not feel comfortable with that want. In fact, there was a seven week gap between activations. Our audiologist provided a good explanation of how she wanted to be conservative and make sure Aiden adjusted to his first "new ear" before mapping the second. I took a deep breath and trusted her. After his first two mapping appointments, within the week, Aiden tested at 25 db across frequencies and we moved up the second ear activation by over four weeks. HE LOVES TO LISTEN.
Throughout much of our journey, Aiden has been a rockstar; awing his team of professionals and showing them just how much he truly does love to listen.
Fast forward to November and Aiden's speech evaluation at his school. At this point he is 8 months post activation and receptively tested at five months! I drove home in tears. Aiden's audi came back from maternity soon after and between her and Aiden's school, we found out his map was VERY off. We also found out that he had some sensory integration issues and additional OT issues. I felt like I was going to break down. I had worked so hard since this little man was brought into my world and I didn't know what else I had in me. I felt we were back at square one.
Since our move to Ohio from Maryland, we've met with our new AVT and today we met our new audiologist. Both, highly recommended professionals in their league. Both told me the same thing our wonderful audiologist back at Hopkins said,
"He's responding to all the lings at good levels across all frequencies, he shows he understands receptively, he's only 10 months "hearing", he has a wonderful personality, no he doesn't have much of a vocabulary, BUT I'm not worried about him because I can tell ... HE LOVES TO LISTEN!"
I really need to take a step back and READJUST ... not my expectations, because I will always carry high expectations for all of my kids ... but my FAITH - in myself and what I do not only as Aiden's teacher, but as his MOTHER.
To start thinking first in terms of how far he's come - of the POSITIVES; and not of what he's lacking.
Aiden's world doesn't have to be all about therapy all.of.the.time. Yes, we make each moment a teachable one as much as possible, but it's okay to LET IT GO now and then ... in fact, I'm finding out it's quite healthy.
Remember that everyday this boy makes me smile, makes me laugh, and there's not a day that goes by that I'm not SIMPLY.AMAZED.
He will dance when he wants to dance. And I will.not.stop playing music videos, dancing, and singing my heart out to him.
He will say some form of "shoe" (instead of grunt) when he's ready to say "shoe" and by golly, after all the silly monkey sounds, tapping on my "tEEEEEth" and "bEEp-bEEps" I've done, one day he'll screech out that "EE".
He will SAY some form of his brother and sister's name because I will continue to repeat it over and over and over again until he does.
He will get the /p/ and the /oo/ and the /ee/ and put them all together yelling "POOPEE" throughout the store at the top of his lungs ... and as he does, I'll just laugh, knowing I worked on all three of those damn sounds since the summer of 2009!

The Beginner's Guide to Online Stock Trading
Everyone recognizes the term "Wall Street" although it conjures up different meanings and feelings to different individuals. To some, it is a capitalist icon that represents financial markets and wealth. Others think of evil bankers preying on the "have nots" or less wealthy consumers to enrich themselves. Of course, Wall Street is but one trading exchange in the global financial machine and no one is truly eliminated from taking part in buying and selling financial assets such as stocks, bonds, commodities and other tangible products. This applies whether participation is significant or very small.
In the past buying and selling stocks was conducted through contacting a broker who executed the order as quickly as possible. Due to the requirement to carry out such orders through phone calls or other communications with regional brokers or third market maker representatives who in turn contact floor brokers or request the trade, timing of trades could vary greatly, and delays were frequent.
But today's electronic communication networks (ECNs) and internet brokers have brought about significant advantages to online investors. Through the utilization of ECNs and efficiencies provided by these online brokers, traders can rely on a much more timely execution of their requested trade, in some cases occurring nearly in real time. With the volatility of some stocks or other markets, it becomes critical to traders to be able to execute trades at precisely the optimum time to take advantage of news events or other activity that may impact gains or losses.
Online trading is simply the practice of monitoring market activity or trends that provide opportunity to gain (or avoid loss) through executing trades. Often times such actions include buy and sell orders that occur on the same day commonly referred to as "day trading". Day traders typically are very in tune with market activities and strive to take financial advantage quickly. Online trading is a key element in successful day trading to allow for the most reliable and immediate execution of trades.
How Do Online Traders Operate?
Online trading requires some key elements to be successful:
Knowledge – there are numerous methods for becoming aware of opportunities for stock trades. These include interactive internet sites that provide stock pricing and information in gains and losses throughout the trading day, broker recommendations, and your friend's "hot tip that can't miss". Unless that friend has a proven track record of good advice, I would pass on that source. Brokers, news events, and company press releases can provide a solid picture of what may be meaningful to your trades. Some excellent news sources include:
Motley Fool – well known for business news, market trends and investment advice
Wall Street Journal – probably one of the most respected sources of financial news, global political events that may impact markets worldwide, and links to other financial tools, as well
Forbes – an excellent source of reliable news information and stock trends
Investor Guide – This site not only includes recent news and a list of what they term "hot stocks" but also includes investor tools that help you hone your investing strategy (more on that in a minute)
Additional information – check out these sites for more general information related to online trading
Top Ten Reviews – reviewers of a multitude of subjects including online trading
Planting Money Seeds – this one not only includes investment advice, but also provides information on how to research potential investments
Terminology – If you're going to make sense of what you learn from the knowledge gained from any of these sites you need to understand the terminology. P/E ratios, spreads, etc.
Investopedia – provides an excellent coverage of terms that an online trader should understand. While you may not be an expert on each subject day one this can at least get you started
First Trade – this is pretty in-depth glossary of investment terms, but if you're looking for a particular term you're likely to find information on it here
Tools – your computer or mobile phone provide the basics for access to online stock trading and investment research. Another component you should consider is online trading software that provides analytical tools to help you chart stock performance over periods of time. This can be invaluable in selecting your investments.
Strategy – this is a topic that every investor needs to determine for themselves. It includes how much capital you have available for your initial foray into online trading and how much of it you feel you can afford to lose. Remember that there is no such entity as a "sure thing" in financial markets. Many investors are in the stock markets for the long haul and as such can tolerate fluctuations in value. Day trading is the opposite strategy where an asset is purchased typically with the intention of turning it around at a profit, often within hours or even minutes.
Consider each of these topics when determining your personal investment strategy:
- Capital available to invest (this will of course determine how large your initial investments can be)
- Risk tolerance – how much can you afford to lose – if you suffer temporary losses, how quickly will those losses impact your financial stability
- Reliable advice – find an online broker you feel comfortable with and can trust to handle your transactions. Remember your desire will be to have quick response, and flexibility with how you can conduct your business with the broker. Also important is what the fee structure is for your trading levels.
- Discipline – avoid impulse trades, whether long-term or day trades. All traders will be able to tell you stories of trades that were winners and plenty that went awry. Stick to your investment strategy and research methods to drive your decisions – not emotions.
Is Online Stock Trading for You?
Through effective research of companies you plan to invest in (due diligence), an understanding of financial markets and products combined with effective trade strategy and a reliable broker you will find there is indeed money to be made in online stock trading. Start slowly and increase your investments as you gain understanding and experience.
Important consideration:
Evaluate online brokers thoroughly and pick one with positive references. You want to be able to trust the service and pricing of your online broker who will execute your trades promptly and consistently. Brokers can vary greatly in their fee schedules and services provided.
SureTrader is a leading online broker for day trading that can provide you with many attractive options for your trading, including a mobile option for traders on the go.

Trudeau apologizes for Canada's 1939 refusal of ship of Jewish refugees
Jordan Press, The Canadian Press
Published Wednesday, November 7, 2018 4:19AM EST
Last Updated Wednesday, November 7, 2018 10:01PM EST
OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau vowed Wednesday that his government would do more to protect synagogues and other places of worship from violence as part of an apology for anti-Semitic policies that denied refuge in Canada to Jews fleeing the Holocaust.
Trudeau said Holocaust deniers still exist and anti-Semitism remains a problem in Canada, noting the latest numbers from Statistics Canada show Jews are the most frequent targets of religiously motivated hate crimes.
The prevalence of anti-Semitism in contemporary society showed itself almost two weeks ago when a gunman killed 11 worshippers inside a Pittsburgh synagogue simply because they were Jewish, Trudeau said.
The ensuing days have seen countrywide vigils and calls for the government do to more through a federal program that funds security improvements at places at risk of hate-motivated crimes, such as synagogues.
"I pledge to you all now we will do more," Trudeau said, without providing more details.
Shimon Koffler Fogel, CEO of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, said in a statement that his organization would work with the government on the details of the pledge "and on other practical policies to combat anti-Semitism in all its forms today."
The head of Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center, Avi Benlolo, said it is up to governments to "take serious measures that help counter hate crimes against minority groups."
It was 79 years ago that the government of William Lyon Mackenzie King rejected an asylum request from an ocean liner carrying more than 900 German Jews as it neared Halifax, forcing it back to Europe.
Most of the passengers scattered across the continent and more than 250 of them died in the Holocaust.
A handful of surviving passengers from the ship were on hand in the House of Commons to hear the apology and opposition parties' responses.
Between 1933 and 1945, Canada admitted the fewest Jews of any Allied country, Trudeau said. Of those Canada did let in, some 7,000 Jews were held as prisoners of war and jailed alongside Germans captured on battlefields, he said.
Opposition party leaders also called Canada's policies at the time unacceptable in speeches on the week marking the 80th anniversary of what is known as "Kristallnacht. In November 1938, Nazi agitators attacked Jews and vandalized synagogues and Jewish-owned businesses, scattering broken glass that glittered in the streets like crystal.
The rejection of the St. Louis the next year helped Hitler sell his "final solution" that ended with the murders of six million Jews: Jews couldn't be expelled from German territory because nobody would accept them.
"The whole premise of the St. Louis was the culmination of bigotry and hatred that is rearing its ugly head again and I think this is a very poignant part of this," said Eva Wiener, who was a child aboard the St. Louis.
Ana Maria Gordon, who was also aboard the St. Louis and survived a concentration camp, said the apology was "very meaningful" for her.
"I firmly believe that to recognize an error publicly leads towards better understanding and healing," she told a reception following the apology.
"I try not to dwell on the horrors of war and the Holocaust but the scars run deep and the memories and the fears persist."
Gordon said history continues to repeat itself and even today "many people are discriminated against, starving or running for their lives." She urged Canada not to fail them as it failed the passengers on the St. Louis.
"We all must, as individuals, communities and as a nation, help these people in every way we can."
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said the apology for past wrongs should be a reminder that anti-Semitism "is not a relic of the 1930s.
"This apology should not make us comfortable. On the contrary, it should grab us and shake us. It should be an alarm that jolts us out of our daily routines and demands that we look at our world today through the lens of that experience."
Guy Caron, who leads the NDP in the House of Commons, said hints of the racist policies that helped Hitler rise to power can be seen around the world. He called for a focus on tackling anti-immigrant and hate speech, particularly online.
Liberal MP Anthony Housefather, who first called for an apology for the St. Louis incident, said politicians needed to call out any racist talk even if it comes from their own supporters.
"There is speech out there that we tolerate -- that we sometimes nod-nod, wink-wink to ... and we shouldn't be tolerating that speech," he said outside the House of Commons.
The story of the St. Louis gained renewed attention last year when picture and stories of the victims circulated on social media in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to ban immigration and refugee settlement from certain countries.
The Liberals' new immigration plan calls for up accepting to 16,500 protected persons in 2019, a category that includes refugees, growing to 20,000 in 2021. Critics say the figures are far too low while debate rages about "irregular" border crossers walking over from the United States.
The Canadian Council for Refugees said many refugees trying to get into Canada are often fleeing persecution just like the St. Louis passengers.
"History will judge us by whether we respond in ways that respect the rights and dignity of refugee claimants, just as we today judge those who turned away the St. Louis and other Jewish refugees," the council said.
Ana Maria Gordon is the only surviving passenger of the MS St. Louis living in Canada. I met with her today ahead of our government's apology in the House of Commons. Thank you, Ana Maria, for coming here, thank you for your testimony, and thank you for being part of this moment. pic.twitter.com/BFrIn0h7Pj— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) November 7, 2018

Nnamdi Kanu, the embattled leader of the Pro-Biafran group, Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has reacted to popular opinion that he intends to become the president of the Republic of Biafra if the dream is actualized.
Mr. Kanu who was recently released on bail while speaking with Vanguard noted that he has always preferred to work in the background adding that if the pioneer leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazurike had remained consistent and true to the struggle for Biafra, he would not have been in the forefront of the movement.
The embattled IPOB leader who insisted that the actualization of a Republic of Biafra was a foregone conclusion noted that he understands the stand of some South East governors and other political office holders' on issues relating to IPOB and Biafra.
He further noted, "I am into this struggle because of leadership vacuum. I am into this struggle because my people are suffering; they are being denied their rights and privileges and nothing will stop this fight. I want to assure our people that we are almost there.
"The Biafra Republic is almost here with us. Even if one is from Sokoto, he can be a Biafran once he believes in our value system of equity, justice, and fairness.
"Biafra will be a home for all people who agree with our values, whether you are from Kano or Sokoto.It will be a place for good things for good people. Therefore, those who are distancing themselves from the Biafra struggle will regret it. If you don't join the struggle, you will be irrelevant in the end because Biafra Republic is sure."

Former US President Jimmy Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize winner has lambasted George W. Bush's presidency as "the worst in history" in international relations, taking aim at the White House's policy of pre-emptive war and its Middle East diplomacy.
In an interview with the BBC Radio, He also denounced British Prime Minister Tony Blair's blind loyalty to Mr Bush.
Carter's stinging rebuke to President Bush which some presidential historians have described as unprecedented, was given in an interview to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
In some equally strong words and blunt language, Carter accused the outgoing prime minister of Great Britain as being subservient to the United States president.
Carter also blasted the White House's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, which helps religious charities receive billions in federal grants.
"As a traditional Baptist, I've always believed in separation of church and state and honored that premise when I was president, and so have all other presidents, I might say, except this one," he said.
