Organic control of fungus gnats
Predatory mites, Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Hypoaspis miles) are currently used for the organic control of fungus gnats (Bradysia spp.).
What are fungus gnats?
Fungus gnat (Bradysia spp.) adults are brown to black colored small insects (Photo 1) that are not harmful to plants but their larvae are colorless and cause serious damage to many plant species that are generally grown in the closed structures like greenhouses and homes.
Damage caused by fungus gnats
Fungus gnats larvae cause both direct and indirect damages to their host plants but their adults cause only indirect damage.
Direct damage by fungus gnat larvae
Larvae of fungus gnats cause direct feeding damage by chewing, stripping and tunneling through the roots and stems of their host plants. Heavily infested plants generally look sick, discolored and may die prematurely.
Indirect damage by fungus gnat larvae
While feeding on the roots and stems, the larvae of fungus gnats cause indirect damage by transmitting disease causing fungal pathogens like Fusarium, Phoma, Pythium and Verticillium to their host plants. These pathogens cause different disease to host plants and eventully kill these infected plants.
Indirect damage caused by fungus gnat adults
Adults of fungus gnats are harmless to plants but nuisance to people. In addition, these adults disseminate spores of many disease causing fungal pathogens from plant to plant when they migrate in through the home or greenhouse.
Predatory mite, Stratiolaelaps scimitus for the organic control of fungus gnats
What are Stratiolaelaps scimitus?
Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Hypoaspis miles) are predatory mites that are currently used as biological control agent to control fungus gnats that are one of the most eonomically important insect pests of home and greenhouse grown potted plants.
Adults: Adults of Stratiolaelaps scimitus are brown to tan in color and about 0.8- 1.0 mm in size.
Eggs: Eggs of Stratiolaelaps scimitus are oval shaped and colorless.
Larvae: Newly hatched mites are called as larvae. These larvae are brown to black in color and they have with six legs.
Nymphs: When larvae of mites pass through successive stages like developmental protonymphal and deutonymphal, they are called nymphs. These immature nymphal stages look like their parents.
Life cycle: Stratiolaelaps scimitus mites generally complete their egg to egg life cycle at optimum temperature between 15-25°C (59-77°F) within 15 days.
Why Stratiolaelaps scimitus mites are used for the organic control of fungus gnats?
Because when both the adult and nymphal stages of Stratiolaelaps scimitus mites are released in the pots containing fungus gnat infested plants, these mites will find and feed on the eggs, larvae and pupae of fungus gnats that in turn will reduce population of fungus gnats.
How Stratiolaelaps scimitus mites will kill fungus gnats?
After application of Stratiolaelaps scimitus mites in the pots containing fungus gnat infested plants, they immediately start looking for fungus gnat eggs, larvae and pupae that are present in the potting media/ soil. Once these mites come in contact with eggs, larvae and pupae, they will begin munching on all of these stages. These mite do not feed on the adults of fungus gnats.
While feeding, these predatory mites can develop and reproduce rapidly and keep population of fungus gnats under control.
Under favorable environmental conditions and if there is enough food around, these mite can recycle continuously (so you do not need to apply again and again) and help to keep the pest population under economic threshold level
When and how Stratiolaelaps scimitus mites should be released?
Follow steps given below:
- It is recommended that the predatory Stratiolaelaps scimitus mites should be released immediately after their arrival.
- But if for some reason, Stratiolaelaps scimitus mites can not be applied soon after their arrival, store them in the same bottles at between 10 and 20°C (50 and 60°F) only for a couple of days.
- As Stratiolaelaps scimitus mites are supplied with food source but if they run out of this food, they will start killing each other.
- In addition make sure that bottles are stored on their side and filter paper up so that these mites get more surface area for their movement and avoid crowding..
- Stratiolaelaps scimitus mites are supplied as mixed stages in the carrier so that they can be evenly and easily released on to the potting media, soil, dirt and gravel floors, on weeds and ground covers around greenhouses or any other potential place where fungus gnats are continuously developing through different stages like eggs, larvae, pupae and adults.
- To release these mites directly from bottles, first slowly rotate the bottle to mix the mites evenly in the carrier. Then open the bottle, remove filter paper and then close bottle with perforated lid.
- Then tap the mites out of the bottle on tro the fungus gnat infested potting media and soil surfaces.
- Release a high numbers of mites where high populations of fungus gnats are present.
How many Stratiolaelaps scimitus mites should be released?
For effective control of fungus gnats, it is recommended to follow schedule given below.
Release 5-10 predatory Stratiolaelaps scimitus mites/square feet (0.1 sq. meter) area bi-weekly, 2-3 times.
Release 25,000 to 50,000 predatory Stratiolaelaps scimitus mites/acre, bi-weekly, 2-3 times.

We have hosted a Node js cloud foudry app on bluemix and we are integrating IBM Cloud monitoring service to the application. The documents on bluemix suggests to create a cluster for monitoring the metrics with Grafana.
We are trying to understand if this is the only way to monitor or are there any other ways of linking CF app with monitoring service.
Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful.
Answer by Marisa Lopez de Silanes (153) | Nov 02, 2017 at 07:22 AM
You can send metrics to the IBM Cloud Monitoring service by using the Metrics API.
The IBM cloud Monitoring Metrics API is documented here: https://console.bluemix.net/apidocs/927-ibm-cloud-monitoring-metrics-api?&language=node&env_id=ibm%3Ayp%3Aeu-gb#introduction
Another interesting topic to read is the following: https://console.bluemix.net/docs/services/cloud-monitoring/send_retrieve_metrics_ov.html#send_retrieve_metrics_ov
Hope it is helpful!
An example for this is here: https://console.bluemix.net/docs/services/cloud-monitoring/send-metrics/send_data_api.html#send_data_api
Example uses a JSON file with prepared values. How do I access the data that the Bluemix dashboard displays for a CF app in the Runtime section of the app from within the CF app: Instance number, % CPU, Memory used / reserved ?
Would be great to have a step-by-step example of sending metrics from a CF app and and creating a Grafana dashboard for it, comparable to the "Getting Started" section within the Moinitoring service.

Sorry I couldn't help you my friend. Please know that I was trying too. I would never presume to tell you or anyone else how to sell. You asked if anyone else was having that problem and so I offered what I could in an attempt to help you... I'm hoping things get better for you...sincerely wish you the best ! 😊
@Crazychris...I agree with you on the shipping aspect... I am not going to do that either. I prefer to keep things local , cash and carry. I'm getting on in years and frankly don't want to be beating a path too and from the post office. Still...no doubt we could sell more if we would offer shipping. I'm just not willing to go that route...to much trouble for me. Possibly at some time in the future...but not at this point.

Wo Hoo, one layout 10 buttons, maybe I could clean out my stash at this rate. This layout is of our middle Daughter Amber taking a cat nap with Bob in 1982.
Here is a little tip that brought my love of buttons back, instead of messing with a needle and embroidery floss then sewing the buttons on the layouts, I now use Waxy Flax, this stuff is great all you need to do is thread it through the button hole and use sticky dots to adhere to the page, makes everything fast and easy, Waxy Flax comes in 10 colors that will coordinate with just about anything, give it a try!
I have Tyler today so one layout will likely be all I can get accomplished, we need to get our St. Patricks day cupcakes finished after nap time, that should do me in for the day!

Training as normal this Saturday, please make a big effort to be there, the teams need to get some practice in after the recent matches.
A big well done to the 1999 team who took on Wanderers last Saturday. That was a great win, 18 – 10, a fantastic result for Newport.
Then to follow that, the BWWPL Junior team produced a fantastic result on Sunday, beating Devonport 16 – 11, well done again. That result takes you to 3rd in the league table.
!!!!!!! Please note, if anyone has not sorted out their WASA membership payment with the Club, please do it as quickly as possible. You will not be allowed to play in any competitive matches if your Swim Wales membership is not up to date. Worse than that, should the Club not realise, and you play, it could result in disqualification of the whole team. Please sort it as soon as possible !!!!!!!

She wants a bigger ring. You have a strict budget. Where do you go from there?
The amazing part about diamond engagement rings is that you can still find a beautiful, stunning ring no matter what your budget is. If she wants that big diamond look, there are small tips and tricks that we recommend on a daily basis to give the illusion of a larger diamond.
A large diamond ring doesn't have to break the bank if you know subtle ways that can really make a strong visual impact.
Don't focus so much on a diamond's carat weight, which determines how large the diamond is. If you put too much emphasis on getting a certain carat size ring, then you might end up having to sacrifice on other extremely important factors that will affect how beautiful the diamond is. And I can't speak for all women, but I'd much rather have a smaller diamond that is absolutely stunning than a larger diamond that is completely dull.
The halo engagement ring has been an extremely popular choice in the past few years. This type of ring features a center diamond surrounded by a "halo" of smaller diamonds to give the illusion of a much larger stone. This is a perfect way to get the big diamond look for a much lower price tag.
Choosing a halo engagement ring allows you to purchase a smaller center diamond and amplify the look and size of it with smaller diamonds all along the sides. Halos can be shaped around any stone. They can be square, circle, or even hexagon depending on the look you are going for.
One of the best ways to give the appearance of a larger diamond for less money is to actually stop trying to find the largest center diamond possible in your budget. Sometimes trying to find the largest stone in your budget will mean that you have to sacrifice other qualities of the diamond like its cut (which has the biggest impact on its overall sparkle) or clarity and color.
Instead, opt for a beautiful smaller diamond that can be accompanied by two smaller diamonds on either side. This is what is called a three-stone engagement ring. Having three smaller diamonds side-by-side that are beautiful on their own will create a larger diamond look and will add volume to the ring.
Diamond cluster rings are becoming a more popular choice for engagement rings because of their illusive nature.
Cluster rings feature smaller diamonds that are paired together in a cluster to give the appearance of a larger diamond. Done correctly, it would take someone looking at the ring really close to notice that the diamond is in fact a cluster of diamonds instead of one larger stone.
This is a great choice for the budget conscious shopper that wants that big diamond look. Smaller diamonds will always be significantly less expensive than larger diamonds. As diamonds increase in size, their price goes up exponentially instead of in a linear fashion. For example, two 1/2 carat diamonds will be significantly cheaper than one 1 carat diamond, because the 1 carat diamond is much more rare. Because of this, clusters of smaller diamonds will help keep the price of the ring way down.
Round diamonds are still the most popular shape for diamonds because of their brilliance. They are perfectly cut to reflect light in the best way possible to maximize a diamond's fire and sparkle.
However, more recently, "fancy" cut diamonds have started becoming more popular. This trend can really work in your advantage if you have a tight budget but still want to give the illusion of a larger diamond. Shapes like marquise, oval, pear, and emerald will elongate the stone to make it seem like the diamond is bigger than it actually is.
These 3 rings here are some of are top Sellers at GINA AMIR. The quality is amazing and at the perfect budget!

Martha Stewart – domestic goddess
A true 'Jane of all trades' during a time when women were raised to live more simplistic lives, Martha Stewart grew up in New Jersey in the 40s and 50s, learning about culinary arts and fashion from her mother. Having pursued ambition to rub elbows with famous New Yorkers from an early age, Stewart found her way into modelling, pursuing this for a number of years as a way to pay for college.
While finishing college, Stewart married Andrew Stewart and later had a daughter, Alexis. Stewart's husband, through his publishing career, introduced her to the head of Crown Publishing Group, leading to the publication of her first home entertaining and cookbook. After several additional books and TV appearances throughout the 80s and 90s, Stewart folded her various outlets and ventures into Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.
A television series, website and other lifestyle outlets turned Stewart into a hugely recognisable American brand and sky-rocketed her multi-million dollar net worth.
In 2004, Stewart was convicted of conspiracy in a stock trading case. It was an epic fall from grace for a person and brand so loved, but after serving time in federal prison Stewart returned to form, and her company, without missing a beat – albeit with a new refining edge to her brand.

Personalized, one-on-one coaching for leaders who are determined to avoid burnout.
I'll help you reclaim your style of leadership, redefine your version of success, and learn to structure your time and team in ways that support you all. Because you truly don't need to lose yourself to succeed!
"Before working with you, I was having trouble making time for business development, marketing, and strategic thinking. You've helped me define and organize my priorities and have also helped me be more purposeful, intentional, and focused in how I use my time."
Does this sound like you?
"I struggle having honest conversations with my employees. I tend to be a people pleaser and often tell them what they want to hear."
"I feel like an imposter."
"It's hard to know when to make firm decisions and when to ask for input."
If so, you're not alone. (Even though it probably seems that way).
When you're a millennial woman leading a team, who can you turn to?
Sharing your struggles with fellow leaders, board members, employees, a partner, a friend, or a former colleague can feel so vulnerable—like you're exposing your rawest insecurities.
The reality is...
Female millennial leaders have very specific challenges and most executive coaching, blog tips, and traditional business advice just skim the surface.
Hey there! I'm Hayley Collins.
I'm an executive coach and consultant. But before that, I was on the fast track in corporate America for five years—including leveling up through the ranks of a prominent national insurance company to become the youngest regional supervisor—leading a team of over 150.
I decided to use the skills I gained in that chapter of my career to make an even bigger impact in the non-profit sector. I worked in the non-profit world for over seven years before rising to the CEO role for a children's advocacy center.
Like you, I love challenging work. But as you know—burnout is fierce.
When I held my executive director and CEO roles, I wish I'd had someone to turn to. An experienced guide who could've helped me navigate my very particular hurdles as a young, female leader.
Now I help women who are wearing the same CEO stilettos I was. While my learning curve was steep, yours doesn't have to be. I can help you figure out all the moving parts of your situation so you can not only be the leader you've always dreamed of, but truly love it AND be seriously good at it.
It breaks my heart when I see capable women worn out, defeated, overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, and unsure of themselves.
When they wonder how long until they completely snap from the stress of their responsibilities.
Or secretly fear that someone is going to realize they have no idea what they're doing.
Or daydream about quitting and derailing their career path...the one they used to love.
If you're shaking your head, YES! Oh my god YES!
Then you will LOVE my 1:1 coaching plan.
"Hayley asks all the right questions and helped me see things about my situations that changed my perspective and unblocked me from movement. On top of that, she wasn't afraid to call me on 'my stuff.' In coaching, to me, that's important."
How would it feel if you were relaxed and sure about your decisions?
If board presentations were a little exciting?
If you exuded poise and calm when initiating tricky conversations?
If your evenings and weekends were free for the fun things you love?
If you you felt connected with and revered by your team?
Can you imagine the happiness and fulfillment that would be a natural part of your life if you felt like an excellent CEO? One who knows how to rally, lead, and navigate without pushing herself to overwhelming extremes?
My friend, it is totally possible.
Let's work together for four months and I'll show you how.
What's Included:

Summer Light

In "Simply Jesus," New Testament scholar N.T. Wright uses the analogy of a perfect storm to explore and explain the unfailing mission of Jesus to restore humanity as the kingly and prophetic Son of God, while confronting the powerful political, religious, and cultural conflicts of his day.
-Phil Muthersbaugh
I highly recommend "Frientimacy" by my friend Shasta Nelson. Most people have been hearing of the loneliness epidemic that plagues the majority of adults. Her book offers practical ways to combat loneliness by increasing our intimacy with friends. I often refer to her analogy of friendship being the gymnasium of the soul.
-Teri Richardson
"A Nation in God's Hands" by Jud Lake is a great read for history buffs who would like a historical understanding along with E.G. White's religious interpretation of the
Civil War.
-Darral Payne
"Kitchen Table Wisdom" by Rachel Naomi Remen. Both this and her companion book, "My Grandfather's Blessings," are deeply compassionate collections of stories based on her own life as a physician and one who suffers from chronic illness. With her own distinctive voice, she explores the transformative power of listening, storytelling, and love.
-DeLona Bell
"The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene, Ph.D., gave me a different understanding of why some kids act out, and offers helpful suggestions for guiding those children to more acceptable ways of behaving. Recommended!
-Clare Thompson
I recommend Richard Foster's spiritual classic, "Prayer." I found the ideas of all the ways we can be in prayer throughout the day to be very validating as well as helpful.
-Yvonne Stratton
Although not a religious book, "Deep Work" by Cal Newport develops the thesis that especially in our increasingly distracted world, careful, slow, focused work (study, practice, etc.) is not only essential but also gives our lives more meaning. For me, there were many spiritual lessons and analogies.
-Don Schafer
I have read Henri Nouwen's, "Spiritual Direction: Wisdom for the Long Walk of Faith" recently, and it fed my soul. I read it twice in fact, and I rarely do that with a book! It nurtures and feeds the soul of one who is longing for a closer walk with God.
-Verlie Ward
"Weaponized Lies" by Daniel J. Levitin is the refresher on critical thinking we all need these days when it is easy to just dismiss those who disagree with us.
-Melodie Selby
"Out of Poverty: What Works When Traditional Approaches Fail" by Paul Polak is a very thought provoking look at the causes of poverty from the viewpoint of the poor, and how hundreds of millions of poor people can be moved up from extreme poverty to (relative) prosperity.
-Ralph Stirling
I found "What About the Big Stuff?" by Richard Carlson, to be personally inspiring. The author offers insight into ways to handle some big issues in life such as death of a loved one, divorce, confronting illness, and of course finances. Good stuff!
-Larry McCulley
Bulletin Quicklinks
Music Note
We welcome several musicians today. Schuan Carpenter leads the praise band, and for the service music we welcome Lyn Ritz (viola) and Ron Coleman (clarinet). I think it one of the miracles of this valley that we get to hear musicians of this quality from our own congregation and even during the quiet summer months. Please join me in thanking them all.
Both prelude and postlude derive from a collection of four pieces, op. 132, by the great romantic composer Robert Schumann (1810–1856). The German tempo indications translate 'Quiet pace, with tender expression' (prelude), and 'Lively, but not too fast' (postlude). The offertory is a lovely duet by the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns (1835–1921), and the anthem presents the favorite hymn, Be Still, My Soul (No. 461). I invite you to think on the words of this hymn as you prepare your heart to worship God:
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
-Kraig Scott

Underground lake
(Redirected from Subterranean lake)
This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (June 2015)
An underground lake or subterranean lake is a lake under the surface of the Earth. Such lakes may be associated with caves, aquifers, or springs. They are typically very low in salinity.
The largest non-subglacial lake in the world is in Dragon's Breath Cave in Namibia,[1] with an area of almost 2 hectares (5 acres),[2] and the second largest is in Craighead Caverns in Tennessee, United States.

Brazilian Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton takes free practice
one at Interlagos
By: S. Harding, Xiro Xone News November 10, 2017 Updated: 7:32 PM
Photo: Mercedes AMG Petronas
SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Fresh from claiming his fourth world title, Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton kicked off the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend finishing on top in the first free practice ahead of teammate Valtteri Bottas.
"It was pretty exciting to come to the track with the cars being so much faster this year. It's physically more demanding than before which is great and it's obviously quite warm out there today. We got through the long runs and the short runs; unfortunately, the tyres don't really last very long, so you only get one or two laps on the short runs," said Hamilton.
Bottas finished 0.127s behind Hamilton in second with only 0.006s between Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen in third and Red Bull driver Max Verstappen in fourth.
Verstappen's teammate Daniel Ricciardo finished fifth but will have a difficult weekend ahead as penalties will plague the Australian's weekend.
Sixth went to Sebastian Vettel in the second Ferrari after he had a spin during the session leaving him 0.782s down from Hamilton.
Felipe Massa, who will race in front of his home crowd for the last time after announcing his retirement this week finished seventh followed by McLaren's Stoffel Vandoorne in eighth. Force India's Esteban Ocon finished ninth splitting both McLaren's with Vandoorne's teammate Fernando Alonso rounding out the top ten.
Lance Stroll finished 11th in the second Williams ahead of 2017 GP3 champion George Russell. making his F1 free practice debut getting some seat time with Force India finishing 12th. Haas' Romain Grosjean took 13th alongside teammate Kevin Magnussen in 14th.
"First and foremost I want to thank Force India because I really enjoyed today. It's something I have been working towards for a long time and even though it feels normal right now, it's a surreal feeling to know I have been driving in a race weekend. It's a huge step up for me, but I have been prepared as well as I could be: I have done days in the simulator with both Mercedes and Force India and I feel that, after my days at the test in Budapest, this was the next step. I didn't know the car or the circuit and I wanted to learn as much as I could to review and take to Abu Dhabi, a track I know, " said Russell.
The Renault's of Carlos Sainz and Nico Hulkenberg finished 15th and 16th. Another pair to finish free practice one were the Saubers of Charles Leclerc, who filled in for Pascal Wehrlein, and Marcus Ericsson finishing in 17th and 18th.
The Toro Rosso's took the final two spots on the timesheet with Pierre Gasly and Brendon Hartley finishing 19th and 20th as both cars ran into technical issues during the session.

Theology in an Apron
Birgit Hallmann
by Birgit Hallmann
Here in Tübingen we are in the middle of an intense summer semester.
It is always a special blessing for me when former students at the Institute drop by to talk about their work in their home countries. Last Friday, Eva from Hungary came by to bring us her two books, which she had written with our help.
She has studied the Christian spirit of women in their everyday lives ("Theology in Apron") and the effect of the Christian faith on the diaconal movement in Hungary. Both books have led to Eva being appointed to the Writers Society in Hungary two years ago.
So I can see that one small stone dropped into the water here in Tübingen can produce wonderfully wide circles.

Super Bowl Sunday is the second largest calorie-consuming holiday of the year after Thanksgiving, but while Thanksgiving is all about the turkey and mashed potatoes, Super Bowl Sunday, at least in Denver, is all about the celebration of the orange-and-blue. We've gotten a full crush of press releases trying to sell us on boring Super Bowl snacks , but we're committed to a blowout, and the photos on the following pages -- some of the most creative and crazy Denver Bronco culinary creations we could find -- are spectacular marvels of Bronco mania. From breast-baring cakes and pancakes to pizza and popcorn, these concoctions, some of which were made locally, sink Seattle's ass.

Christmas Comfort
Less than a handful braved the freezing overnight temperatures, sleeping in the car, in order to be first in line. That ensured first pick in Santa's toy shop, where parents selected one large and two smaller gifts for each child, along with a family game. Afterwards, they had the option of chicken, turkey, or ham, plus all the fixings, and could hunt through racks of slightly-worn jackets, or a box filled with colorfully-knitted winter caps.
The tantalizing aroma of smoked turkey permeated the air as Pastor Bill Rice with Rushing Wind Ministry, along with helper Abby Lovell, fed sandwiches to those waiting patiently outside.
Inside, Santa's elves ensured order, restocked shelves, and assisted in the toy shopping. Elf Kristie Ratchford helped Serina Simmons of North Fork shop for her three children, ages 19, 13 and 2. Simmons had been waiting for the doors to open since 6:30 a.m.
"I lost my Social Security in July so this means a lot to me," Simmons explained. "I didn't think I would be able to give my kids a Christmas this year."
Humberto Moreno took the chill off, enjoying the warmth of the sun while balancing 11-month-old Alma on his lap. On his mind was spotting just the right toy for Alma and her siblings, ages 9 and 6.
"This is the slow time of year for me at work, so I can't thank Manna House enough for helping provide a good Christmas for my family," Moreno said.
Gladys Williams was busy rustling through the jackets, looking for the ideal fit for her 21-year-old son, saying, "This is such a wonderful thing. I'm on SSI, so this helps out so much."
It was one-stop shopping last week during the annual Christmas give-away at Manna House.
"For me, this is the happiest time of year," clothing department manager Pat Sebring said. "I dearly love this ... but my husband will be glad to get me back."
Head elf Sebring has not only been extraordinarily busy coordinating the transformation of the clothing department into Santa's toy shop, but also handmade 100 pairs of earrings as gift options.
"For all the strife in the world today, I'm proud to live in the Oakhurst community, and wouldn't want to live anywhere else," food manager Bruce Bartlett said. "The residents are so filled with love and generosity, and that generosity goes a long way with us because we have such a good purchasing system."
Indeed, over the years, it has become a well-tried, proven system. Using gift cards from Grocery Outlet Bargain Market (collected in July through the Independence from Hunger campaign), Manna House purchased chickens and hams, as well as dried goods at cost. Raley's donated turkeys, chickens and ham. Because of the way the program is set up, Vons will donate food items after the first of the year. And once again, Toys for Tots delivered hundreds of donated toys for boys and girls of all ages.
To the delight of the children, Santa took a break from the hectic crazinesss of his North Pole workshop to stop by and hand out candy canes. Aiyana Sandoval, 4, jumped at the chance to ask Santa for Play Doh this Christmas. Aiyana was with her mom, Raquel, and 15-month-old brother, Elijah.
"God has blessed us with the money for rent and to keep the lights on, but sometimes there's nothing left over for extras," Raquel said. "We wouldn't have had much for Christmas this year if it wasn't for Manna House, and all those who donate to Manna House ... such a blessing ... thank you everyone."
Bartlett sees a definite improvement in the economy, and with that comes a drop in the numbers. Last year, Manna House provided Christmas meals to 370 families, compared to 250 this year. When it comes to toys, 325 families signed up for toys in 2014 (about 700 toys), and 150 (about 300 toys) signed up in 2015. Bartlett believes this is due to people being more willing to take a job at McDonalds or Denny's, instead of looking for hand-outs.
"The community of EMC stepped up again this year, to make the Christmas give-away a give-away to remember. There are those who call us enablers," Bartlett continued, "but if there are 10 people in need, and nine taking advantage ... with only one truly in need, I believe that our mission has been met."
Manna House has been meeting its mission to minister to those in need with dignity for decades. It was founded in 1982 for the specific purpose of providing a Christian emergency food and clothing bank to the needy. The non-profit organization can be found on Facebook and donations, which are tax deductible, can be made through PayPal.

George David Hodgson is a Fashionpreneur, Public Speaker and Mental Health Campaigner.
"George is the mental health spokesperson of our generation"
Jacquelyn Guderley
Founder of MNTL HLTH
Jacquelyn Guderley
Founder of MNTL HLTH
Described as 'the mental health spokesperson of our generation' George David Hodgson is a fashionpreneur, public speaker and mental health campaigner known for his incredible honesty and no-filter approach to opening up about his suffering. In 2014 he founded the award-winning fashion brand 'Maison de Choup' out of his severe anxiety and OCD episode. The brand has been recognised by the likes of Vanity Fair, which referred to Maison de Choup as 'The Fashion Brand with a Mental Health Cause at its Heart'. It also won the British Fashion Startup Award for such an inspiring story.
Since launching Maison de Choup, George has gone on to do public speeches and workshops in schools, colleges and universities about how he started his fashion brand from such a dark place. He tells the story of his battle with severe Anxiety and OCD, not being able to leave his bedroom for 3 years and washing his hands up to 50x a day to running a fashion brand full time. He is incredibly honest about his suffering and talks about how everyone should be more open about their mental health, especially young men.
George works with YoungMinds as a Youth Advisor on the Amplified programme giving workshops to professionals, attending NHS strategy meetings and co-creating resources. He is also a Youth Ambassador for MQ Charity. In August 2017, he became a qualified Youth Mental Health First Aider and received his MHFA Certificate of Completion.
In August 2017, he became a qualified Youth Mental Health First Aider and received his MHFA Certificate of Completion.
George has appeared on BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat, Radio 2, Radio 5 Live and Radio 6 Music as well as appearing on BBC News at 6/10pm with Hugh Pym and BBC Breakfast.
In April 2019 BBC Three released an Amazing Humans documentary surrounding George's story on iPlayer. Watch it here
George also presented an award at the Tenner Challenge Ceremony to the most inspiring young individuals in May 2019.
As well as running Maison de Choup and public speaking around the country, he co-hosts the Maison de Choup Talkin' About Podcast with his sister Charlotte, of which the brand is named after.
George, 22, started experiencing panic attacks six years ago. At the time, he felt really alone and isolated, thinking that nobody else could be going through the same thing as he was. So, George started drawing sketches as a way of trying to understand his anxiety - and that's when he thought about putting those designs on T-shirts. He then set up a clothing label to raise awareness of - and funds for - mental health, and he now collaborates with others suffering from conditions like depression and eating disorders, all with the hope of encouraging people to have open conversations about mental health."
George gives talks at schools, colleges and universities throughout the UK, delivering assemblies on topics such as mental health, fashion, how he started Maison de Choup from severe mental health and his personal battle with Anxiety & OCD.

With deep sadness, the family of Jack Brinkley announces his death.
A graduate and champion debater from Young Harris College, he served in the United States Air Force during the Korean era. He was on combat crew training as a pilot at Fort Benning's Lawson field with orders to go to Korea, but the war ended. "They heard his squadron was coming," Sallye said with a twinkle in her eye, "and decided to end the hostilities." He later became an instructor pilot in the C-119 flying boxcar.
He then attended the University of Georgia Law School and entered the practice of law in Columbus with the firm of Young, Hollis, and Mosely, and later with Coffin and Brinkley. He was admitted to the District of Columbia bar and the Supreme Court of the United States Bar.
He served in the General Assembly of Georgia for two one year terms, due to reapportionment, where he was Chairman of the Local Affairs Committee. He was the author of the phenylketonuria (PKU) bill requiring testing for new born infants. Later, with the Cantrells of Columbus, he resisted the effort to close down the Warm Springs Institute, and sponsored funding legislation during his years of public service.
In 1966 he was elected to Congress from the 3rd District of Georgia at age 35, and served for eight terms, retiring from the 97th Congress in 1983. During his last term before retirement he was Chairman of the Military Construction Subcommittee.
That subcommittee had jurisdiction over military acquisitions and disposals, and as such blocked the transfer of land at Fort Gillam chosen for the Region IV Veteran's cemetery. Subsequently, under his leadership, the Fort Mitchell VA cemetery was approved by the Reagan Administration.
Brinkley was the author of legislation designating Andersonville as a National Historic Site, transferring it from the Department of the Army to the Department of Interior. He served as Co-Chairman with Hon. Rudy Hayes of Americus in placing the Georgia Memorial at the site.
Following the Vietnam war, he was the author of legislation establishing the Gold Star Wives Charter. He was the author of dual use legislation in Civil Defense during the Carter administration which authorized, by statute, federal response to natural disasters in addition to wartime disasters.
During the last terms of his service, there was intense competition for the location of an army plan for One Station Unit Training (OSUT) where, for cost savings, basic infantry training was to be combined with advanced infantry training. The New England Mid-West coalition for Fort Drum and the Strom Thurmond effort for Fort Jackson, effectively blocked the army's choice of Fort Benning, initially. The log jam was broken upon Brinkley's move to subcommittee chairman of the Military Construction Committee and the subsequent authorization of the RECEPTION STATION at Sand Hill at Fort Benning.
Constituent service was important to Brinkley and his staff in Washington and in the District, and he was known for coming down hard and with persistence for citizens faced with the sometimes heavy hand of bureaucracy. He placed emphasis on attendance and seldom missed a vote or quorum call.
He was a CIVITAN for 50 years, a Master Mason for 50 years, an attorney for 50 years, a Christian for all of his life, baptized at Betts' Mill Pond when he was almost ten years old, and practiced the requirements of Micah to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with thy God. He faithfully took his family to Edgewood Baptist Church and taught Sunday School there for many years, then served the Lord at Evangel Temple until his death.
He was preceded in death by his late wife, dearly beloved Lois Kite Brinkley and their oldest son Jack Jr. He is survived by his dearly beloved wife Sally Posey Brinkley, his youngest son Fred, wife Trish and their children and grandchildren; beloved daughter-in-law Stacy Brinkley and Jack Jr.'s children and grandchildren. One of the marks of this fine man's life is that he had the love and admiration of three generations of offspring, as a result of his Godly character demonstrated to two loving families.
He will be buried in a private family ceremony in the Oswichee Baptist and Alexandria Methodist Cemetery in Fort Mitchell, Alabama, in the Kite plot beside his late wife. He will be remembered for his campaign promise, "To remember who I am, where I'm from, and who sent me." He kept his promise.
Visitation will be at Evangel Temple, 5350 Veterans Pkwy, Columbus, GA 31904 on Friday, January 25th from 4:00-6:00p.m.
Funeral services will be held at Evangel Temple, 5350 Veterans Pkwy, Columbus, GA 31904 on Saturday, January 26th, at 2:00. p.m. Pastor Paul Thomas and Pastor Bud Rupel will officiate.
Like his late wife, LOIS, he loved every living thing but was afraid of a few. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to Sound Choices, 1316 Wynnton Ct, Columbus, GA 31906 or Paws Humane, 4900 Milgen Rd, Columbus, GA 31907.
Jack Brinkley, m.c. 90th – 97th Congresses
3rd District of Georgia

I found out about the Enterprise Vision Awards 2012 (EVAS2012) when several emails appeared from the awards organisers in my inbox as I had received several recommendations. It made my day to think there were people out there who recognised what I had achieved in starting up my business in a recession and in my fifties. I felt on top of the world and having looked at the website at all the different categories I also nominated some businesses that I admire and two of them have also made the finalist list in different categories.
I now had to complete my awards entry. The EVAS2012 organisers had made the process easier by providing a framework. They wanted to know the inspiration behind the business creation; achievements and challenges to date; future plans and the drive and passion behind the business. They allowed a set number of words to answer the above within the following sections:
- Business Description
- How Business Started
- Future Plans
- About Me
- Why should I win?
We were also requested to submit a photo and one supporting document. I chose a photo of me receiving my Small Business Sunday Award from entrepreneur and Dragon's Den judge, Theo Paphitis. Also I had been interviewed on BBC News 24 in May 2012 talking about the challenges of setting up a business over 50. I though the photo might intrigue them and the video fitted the judging criteria well.
A few days after the deadline had passed I received a telephone call from the EVAS2012 organisers – I was on the shortlist for New Business of the Year! Well that was a call that made my day – I was through to the next round! Family, friends and business contacts were delighted for me too.
The next round was a trip to Blackpool to do a 5 minutes presentation to a panel of judges followed by a Q and A session – like Dragon's Den but a lot friendlier and an adjudicator was present to ensure every business was asked the same questions and had the same amount of time.
I found it a really positive, affirming experience where I was asked to share my background, present activities and future plans. It is very powerful to tell other people, strangers indeed, what you plan to do. It makes it seem more real than "it's just my plans" and in some respect you feel much more accountable having spoken about your intentions in public. I am proud to say that I am one of the 6 finalists in New Business of the Year.
All finalists have been sent a lovely logo in recognition of their achievements by EVAS2012
The final round is a public voting round and finalists are listed alphabetically by first name.
Thank you for the whole experience to the Pink Link Ladies Network, Rae Stephenson and Coral Horn, for creating and organising the EVAs and thank you to the interviewers, the adjudicator, the sponsors and finally to those anonymous admirers who nominated me in the first place.
Twitter is busy with EVA2012 fever and great support between the finalists across all the categories. I have been on BBC Radio Manchester too and in the local and regional press. It's lovely to have something positive to talk about and great to find the local community is right there behind me.
What have I learnt from entering my first business award?
- It makes someone's day if you nominate them for an award if you are impressed by what they have achieved.
- Treat awards seriously and use all the resources you have to enter; celebrating your success in business – large and small.
- Win or lose being chosen as a Finalist is a major achievement and can attract publicity.
So good luck to all those businesses chosen as finalists in EVAS2012. We will all get to meet at the Awards evening on 14 September 2012. If you haven't voted already then you can cast your vote here

Some places fill your pores with a sense of memory, foreboding and wariness. Cheong Ek Genocide Memorial, located approximately 15 KM from Phnom Penh is one of many killing fields within Cambodia. Tuol Sleng - Site 21 was a site of imprisonment, torture, and murder located in Phnom Penh. Both are reminders of man's capacity to espouse a hateful rhetoric and afflict horrendous acts upon fellow citizens in the name of ethnicity, religion, profession, and political affiliation. Male, female, young, old - no one was immune from being deemed an enemy of Cambodia and the Khmer regime. Pol Pot came to power as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea giving rise to the Khmer regime. For the Cambodian people this rise to power represented an onset of fear, terror, and genocide within the country. The horrors of surviving this time period where between 1.5 and 2.5 million people are tortured and murdered affects a people, affects us all, really.
Both sites have signs posted to remain quiet but the signs were unneccessary - my experience while there was of silence except for birds in the trees and chickens roaming the property. Walking both sites evoked a seriousness and a sober-ness. Watching others process, observe, react, cry, leave a room, turn away - somehow observing even in hindsight affects us individually and collectively. I didn't take a lot of pictures at either site - both felt like sacred ground, like places to be still.
The Memorial Buddhist Shupa at Cheong Ek is multiple stories high acrylic sides with the lowest level including clothes at the site, next levels include over 5000 human skulls, and the upper levels including other bones - all found at this killing field.
Signs of beauty and life around the Killing Fields.
Tuol Sleng site...
1975-1979 - Where were you? What were you doing during these years? I finished 8th grade and went to high school - meanwhile, seemingly a world away Pol Pot arose to power. One account indicated that within 3 hours of taking power, people were being excised from Phnom Penh. The horrors of surviving a time period where between 1.5 and 2.5 million people are tortured and murdered affects a people, affects us all really. Only 40 years ago! We're not talking ancient history - within our lifetime! I found myself concerned at how powerful a leader's ideologies are in influencing a nation to ill effect. Some thoughts on leadership:
A leaders's actions and communicated ideologies are derived from his or her deeply held values and worldview.
Those with horrific ideologies believe they are 'right' and represent what's 'good' for a country and her people.
A authoritarian leader may ~seem~ as though they have the common good at the root of their message and eloquently communicate this sense manipulating people to believe they have people's best interests at heart.
People (some) will follow and enact an authoritarian ideology focused on difference and perceived categories (nationality, ethnic, race, gender, profession, religion...). For those who inflicted torture and who murdered, I wonder if afterwards in their life there was remorse, a sense of oh my gosh what have I done...
A regime's first act is to categorize, divide, and exclude people (those for the Regime, those who are not) and to communicate that division, always accompanied by secrecy, fear methods (imprisonment, torture, death), and destruction of cultural artifacts, those things that connect a people one to another.
Once a regime and its methods get established, the system of abuse, torture, and murder instill a fear and a systematization that can be maintained for a while.
Regimes meticulously document their actions through record keeping, logbooks, and photographs. There were rooms at Site 21 filled with photographs of those who were housed there.
Time reveals the truth and extent of a leader's actions, but while it's happening it may be unclear the extent of the horror. However - words are precursors to action and/or provide clues that we should be wary of (exclusion, boundary setting, hateful rhetoric, gross generalizations or categorizations), etc.
Hope. Despite a horrific history and collective memories around that history, people trust again, they live a hopeful life, and can go on.

This cream of tomato soup with cheddar is a delicious hot soup to enjoy for lunch. Toss in your favorite popcorn to add a special treat to your soup.
Creamy and hot, this is the perfect soup to pack in a thermos for lunch! If you love soup as much as we do, you will want to check out all of my delicious gluten free soup recipes.
School has started and the weather is finally cooling off here in Northern California. Soup is comfort food and my kids love to bring hot soup in their lunchboxes. This healthy cream of tomato soup is part of a nutritious lunch!
(If you are looking for a couple of delicious recipes for lunch, my kids love this Asian Vermicelli Noodle Salad and this Country Hamburger Soup too!)
Heirloom Tomatoes in Soup
Last week I bought a case of heirloom tomatoes at our local farmer's market and I had a few left to use in this soup. You will notice heirloom tomatoes right away because they don't look "perfect" like store-bought tomatoes. They are bumpy and curvy and come in fun colors.
Colorful heirloom tomatoes come in many shapes, sizes, and colors including:
- Red
- Yellow
- Green
- Orange
- Striped with several colors!
I love using fresh tomatoes when they are in season. Summer is the best time for fresh heirloom tomatoes. Each year we had a garden and grew our own tomatoes. Two years ago California had a horrible drought and we let our garden go. Hopefully, we can restart it up again in the spring!
For this recipe, I used a combination of yellow and red tomatoes."
Another fresh item in this soup is basil. Basil can be grown year round. I like to pick up a fresh plant every few months from our grocery store so I always have fresh basil on-hand for my recipes like this cream of tomato soup.
(*This post was sponsored by SkinnyPop, but all deliciously crunchy opinions are my own.)
Have you tried SkinnyPop popcorn? This has become a staple on my kids' lunches not only to eat but also to play with. I hate to admit it, but one of my son's favorite games at lunch is when he and his friends toss popcorn into the air and his friends catch it in their mouths. This may be a teen boy thing, but it is definitely a popular game…the boys are pretty good! Almost no popcorn hits the ground!
Another favorite thing to do with SkinnyPop is to add it to soup!! It is the perfect gluten-free crouton substitute!!
This simple tomato soup recipe is creamy, delicious, and full of fresh tomato flavors. Enjoy it anytime!
How to make tomato soup with fresh tomatoes:
You will find this creamy tomato soup recipe is really easy to make. A few people asked me how to use a Vitamix to make this soup. It is so easy to use a Vitamix to prep this recipe. I removed the stem from the tomatoes, then added them to my Vitamix blender. I pureed the tomatoes on high to liquefy them.
Next, I added that tomato puree to a saucepan with the rest of the ingredients. I let the soup bubble on low until it became nice and creamy. I garnished this soup with more fresh basil and the popcorn! If you have nice gluten-free crusty bread or rolls, they are quite good dipped in this soup.
Tomato Soup Variations
If you are like me, sometimes you like to change things up. Here are a few substitutions and ideas for this soup:
- Try roasting your fresh tomatoes with olive oil and garlic in the oven. You can put them in a baking dish and drizzle them with olive oil. Roast on 300 degrees for 20-30 minutes until they are really soft.
- Instead of fresh basil, try fresh thyme for a new flavor.
- If you want, feel free to change up the cheese and use a smokey gouda.
- Add some sautéd spinach cooked with olive oil to add some healthy greens. Make sure you chop it up a little before adding to the soup.
- If you would like a creamy garnish, top with a little sour cream or yogurt.
Creamy Cheddar Tomato Soup
Creamy cheddar tomato soup recipe.
- 2 cups pureed fresh tomatoes
