Have you ever tried to rationalize your way to the "right" decision?
You make the Pros and Cons list. You mull back and forth between every option, but you still feel unsettled. You feel that get uncomfortable knot in your stomach and decide to procrastinate making the big decision.
One of the themes that's come up in my life right now is listening to and using my intuition. I've realize just how many of our decisions are made using our logical mind, not our heart and soul. When we ignore our intuition, our life feels off track.
In Part 1 of this series, I'm going to talk about how to hear that voice and in Part 2 - I'm going to talk about how to make decision with it.Read More

Here is my card for this challenge. this is a blog i often go to when making a card coz the ideas are always great!
the paper and greeting are from daisy and dandelions christmas range. the ribbon has been recycled from an old card ( it went once around the card) the bow is from the same card, as is the topper. i hope this is ok. the layout is totally different from the original.
the question is, is it ok to send it to the same person that sent us the original?

In the previous installment of Beyond Casual Observation, we visited with three films to briefly illustrate the pleasant entanglement of music and storytelling in cinema. By looking at three different films from different eras, we attempted to express the resonant value of sound in film.
I have always been fascinated and invigorated by the idea of film scores and ambience provided by someone otherwise known as instrumentalist or person in a band. Johnny Greenwood's score for There Will Be Blood, Neil Young's performance for Dead Man, Thom Yorke's work for Suspiria (whose original score was written by a band, Goblin), are notable examples of musicians from bands taking their talent to the screen. In Goblin's case, they often perform live to a visual accompaniment.
To hear a composer talk about emotion, the pulse of a scene, two notes, and why an incomplete sounding progression accompanies an incomplete character, I hear an analysis fundamentally similar to one you might hear in a band's writing session. Audiences are on the receiving end of every musician who makes his or her work public. Whether how a single person is affected by a song on an album they are listening to at home, to how a screen audience experiences a scene, the communication between musicians and audiences is essential. For each voice expressed there is hopefully a voice heard.
In film, a composer's biggest challenge may be their own comprehension of the visual material, self-doubts, or of the process working with others who are invested in the visual piece. An audience's difficulty may be in their own associations of musical stylings, or of their interpretation of on-screen events. Together, a composer and an audience are both trying to find their way through the story and, ultimately, how that story feels to them. (Although a more self-aware or purely voyeuristic perspective can exist, we shall stay in a particular lane in this article.)
That dynamic relationship with audiences made me want to seek out someone who has a story to share about being a musician and forging their part in the art of visual storytelling.
John Morgan Askew: producer, musician, engineer, and mixer. Of music in bands, of sound and music in film, John Morgan Askew is a worker in the aural spectrum. Recent work includes The Imperial, the new album from The Delines, Laura Gibson's latest release, Goners, as well as Do Not Pass Go from Hyrax Films, and a 2015 documentary about internet privacy Terms and Conditions May Apply.
"In the early days of recording I realized how visual music was for me. Recording taught me how to make music have a certain geography."
In 2018 it is easy to think that we are all behind. Social media insists that my peers are doing more than I am and that being busy is the key to life. Everything I see is a quick ad, every scene consists of numerous quick cuts and Michael Mann films are still the best at extending time, without slowing it down, to show us the nuts and bolts of processes. Every finished product had processes. Every peak has a base. John Morgan Askew has spent years building his skill set: a wide base in music ranging from writing, to recording, and placing sound to image.
"I started out playing bass and guitar in bands in high school -- and bought a 4-track and started recording that way," John says. "My parents let me put a little studio / practice space in the garage (you know with mattresses and sheets everywhere) so I was able to learn the basics of recording, mic placement and bouncing tracks. It was a natural progression from there. I soon bought a high end 4-track, then an 8-track."
John Morgan Askew's work as an engineer starts in 1996 as an engineer in Portland, Oregon at Type Foundry Recording.
"It was all analog recording in those days so I learned how to make records using 16-track and 24-track machines. The recording studio was a dream for me. I loved being there. The studio became an instrument more than any other. I don't think I really ever cared too much about engineering, more-so I became really comfortable using the studio as a creative tool -- a place to experiment and try things out and learn," explains John. "It was always interesting to try and place sounds into the geography and space of a mix (not to the Left or to the Right – but deep into the field). I suppose my serious interest in recording and making records allowed me to work with other, more talented artists and songwriters, and to continue developing the skill."
While growing his skills as an engineer, John continues to write and his musical sensibility flourishes. He describes the move into writing sound for film rather organically.
"Creating music is so important to me as a way to survive (mentally speaking)," he says. "It is easy for me to get lost in the studio and I find that to be good for my mental health. Certainly it can be a task but I don't mind that. I really love sound and making and archiving sounds and learning along the way. The process -- the experimental aspect to it -- is what really keeps me going."
He adds insight into his own inner workings.
"Much of what I write comes as a brief idea or a sound that inspires me to keep on going," John says. "Usually it is just one small sonic element that pushes it along. When I work with other artists as a producer, or a mixer, I tend to know what I'm going for before I start -- it's much less spontaneous. As a writer for picture, however, I just start with one sound or one instrument and see if it feels worthwhile to keep it going."
"Regardless if there is an actual picture to look at, music can be so visual for me. It creates the sonic space, or the geography, to exist in."
Among his influences are Juana Molina, Laurie Speigel (John notes the effort on Expanding Universe), Mica Levi, Reinhold Heil, Ben Frost, and Tim Hecker. While John's work is informed and influenced by the work of others, the range of things that influence him extend outside of studio walls.
"I remember arriving in Brighton, England for the first time and I was in the downtown area with tons of hip shops and pedestrians walking -- I was really overwhelmed and jet lagged -- I decided to put on my headphones and listen to the score of The Proposition by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis (one of my favorite scores)," he recalls. "It intensely framed my walk through this town in a way that was perfect. The score put a perfect, dark, messed up glaze over this city and the merchandise in the windows and the cars and people. I suppose it just made me feel less a part of the crowd and more of an observer to the scene. It felt right."
"Regardless if there is an actual picture to look at, music can be so visual for me. It creates the sonic space, or the geography, to exist in."
John's ability to draw an image from music relates to a sentiment he shares about his own ear for music.
"As for composing for film, I have always loved instrumental music and always related more to the sounds of an album than the lyrics," he says.
He dives deeper into explaining the association of music and imagery.
"Drum sounds and guitar tones, etc… My solo project Tracker (which was really just a huge experiment in recording -- thus the band name) was all about creating a visual in music. The first two records were made for driving across the desert, in between cities. The long road trip is about passing moments so I thought it would be cool to have album feel like that. Eventually I did an instrumental soundtrack for a graphic novel by Craig Thompson (Tracker – Blankets: Recordings for the Illustrated Novel). It was a huge learning experience which led to my first film score project (Calvin Marshall). Once I had the opportunity to do a film score, I knew I wanted to keep pursuing it. I got heavily into using my recording background to create my own sampled instruments. I realized that if I created my own sounds, rather than using libraries, etc., that the palette was special. This is an obsession for sure. It was completely satisfying and personal. It was the connection I really wanted with music."
By acknowledging that music can create emotion, John's work is more than writing music. Film scores should harmonize with the other sounds, and compliment the action on screen. While we remember the big moments in the score, we also remember the important moments between characters. The scale in a section of a score may relate to the on-screen strife. John's ability to be visually inspired by music, and to be inspired by visual story-telling to write music was an interesting component of this conversation, and his passion for the art is obvious.
John started early in life with a single musical endeavor that grew into multiple expressions and uses of music and sound. He provides insight by relating his own perspective as a listener.
"One of the reasons why I have always been so attracted to instrumental music and movie scores is how the music can affect how something 'feels' on the screen. The real challenge for me is creating music that has a dramatic impact yet never seems to get in the way of what is happening," he says. "With music for picture, it seems most important to try and allow the picture do as much work as possible so the score really is there as an enforcement rather than a showcase. Certainly the greatest reward is when the film or the scene is really working -- when everyone feels it is working -- and you understand that it isn't just one thing that has made it work well, but all the contributions have made it have feeling. I suppose if no one talks about the score then it must be a good thing."
Engineering and mixing are skills that John was able to gain by being around music production. And like any good tool, he uses production to create. John does not get too caught up in describing gear or become overly mystified. Rather, like every great audio professional, he keeps everything focused to the creation of music.
"I learned how to record and make records because I wanted to record the music I was involved with. So although I feel comfortable in a studio and around gear, I certainly don't think of myself as an engineer. There are so many incredibly talented engineers (recordists) out there that really understand how sound works in a scientific way. I do feel confident in how I relate to gear and technique (how things sound!) but I lack the desire to have the scientific prowess -- I tend to seek the creative possibilities of the recording studio. I like to collaborate and to learn as an artist: to continue to be challenged, and also to create an environment that is inspiring for artists and myself. I love trying new techniques and new gear in hopes something weird or unusual will grow from it. I'm always open to going in new directions."
John has recently produced and mixed the new record from Laura Gibson, Goners, and from The Delines, their new record, The Imperial. As of December 2018 John is finishing up the score to a new film, Phoenix, OR. You can find even more of John's work on his official website. Thank you to John for taking the time to share his insights with our readers!

For a previous birthday I had requested set 4435, Car and Caravan. I passed on the Friends' Adventure Camper 3184 but I've been eyeballing the Friends' Summer Caravan Set 41034, waiting eagerly for it to be released. I am fascinated with campers, travel trailers, and other small living spaces. I have been spending the last few years hopelessly building my own teardrop trailer.
This set is a rehash of 2009's Camper 7639. But bigger and better. And now with a real bed. But about that. This beautiful camper has a big bulbous overcab section yet the bed is on the floor in the back. That place where you would expect a bed to be is just empty storage. Well, not completely empty. They did manage to just barely squeeze a couple of life vests up in there. From a residential designer perspective, the use of the inside space could be better. A bed over the cab and a kitchenette below would have been a better layout. But unlike it's predecessor, at least this one has a bed! Though, it's not like they can both lay down at once unless you remove the arms or something. But the thought is nice.
My other gripe is the canoe. I am not a big fan of canoes. And when I say not a big fan, I mean that I would rather go down with a sinking ship than to have to escape on a canoe. But that was from some trauma 20 some years ago. I should be over that by now, right? RIGHT? Maybe I would have preferred any other sort of outdoor adventure equipment. Maybe the rubber raft? Then again, I'm not a big fan of white water rafting either. What's the matter with a nice croquet set?
The idea of brickonomics or whatever you call it is very apparent. There were several places where a white 1x4 plate would have been perfect. But the 1x4 plate with 2 end studs was more appropriate where the roof attaches to the body. The less studs, the easier it is to remove the roof. Rather than include both the 2x4 plate and it's partially studded cousin, all the white 2x4 plates were the 2 stud variety. This makes sense from an economics standpoint. Just not something that I'm used to.
The swing open wall is a nice way to allow play on the inside. This is not a new feature as it has appeared in other vehicular sets but it is a good trick to keep using. But perhaps my favorite feature was the way the nose of the vehicle went together. The previous Camper had a 2x6 45° slope for the nose. Fine, perfectly acceptable. On this set the designer (E.R.?) did some wonderful sculpting with some newer parts. The mini vehicle nose 98835, used extensively in Cars sets, was put to use. In several other City vehicles, there is a 1x2 45° slope on either side of it. Looks alright. On this set, it was used with the new baby bow and a cheese slope turned sideways for a headlight. It looks very sharp and reminds me of a Freightliner/Dodge/Mercedes Sprinter Van.
Overall I enjoy this set and give it two bricks up. You can grab this set direct from LEGO. Don't forget, shipping is free on all orders of $75 or more.

My puppets name is Big Red. He is 11 years old. He has fluffy red skin with a yellow mouth plate and with a nice ruby red tongue. Big Red's hair looks like big jelly beans. His birthday is the 29th of June 2003. His nickname is Elmo.
Big Reds personality is cheerful but if you make the wrong move he changes into an angry puppet. The reason why he is sometimes angry because no one respects his awesome acting.
Big Red lives with his mum - Angela his dad - Shane sister - Chloe brother - Ashton and his beautiful owner Taylah and with his best friends snuggles the puppet and cuddles the puppet he lives at 18 bungle berry place.
My puppet loves to play basketball and he plays basketball on Thursdays. He really likes Shortland Street and Home and Away. On friday nights he invites his friends over and they sit on the 2 seater couch, with a blanket over them, and eat popcorn and watch a horror movies.

John Adams to Thomas Barclay, 12 May 1784
To Thomas Barclay
The Hague May 12. 1784
My dear Sir
I am Sorry to have given you, So much Trouble about the House, to no purpose: But I am weary of these perpetual Incertitudes in which We are kept, and I must put an End to them as far as they regard me, by planning my Affairs for myself, or they will soon put an End to me. I conclude therefore to remain here without farther Wandering, and not to go to Paris at all, at least not untill I know what Character I go in, what I go for, and how long I am to stay.
inclosed is a Letter from Messrs Hopes, which you wrote for, respecting the Bills upon Spain.1
I Should be glad to know, if Mr Ridley left my Trunk and the Key of it with you: and whether the Ratifications of the definitive Treaty are exchanged. and When and how Mr Jay goes.
And also if you know of any honest, faithfull Man who would undertake to bring my Trunk, Cloaths Books &c to the Hague. The Trunk ought to be well packed, and the Plate in it, well placed. I will pay Such a Man, what you shall agree with him for. if you dont readily find one, I will Send one from hence.— The Trunk ought never to be out of his Sight.2
LbC (Adams Papers); internal address: "Hon. Mr Barclay."; APM Reel 107.
1. For the letter to Hope & Co., which Barclay enclosed with his letter of 26 April, see JA's 4 May letter to Barclay, and note 2, both above.
2. JA also wrote to Wilhem & Jan Willink on 12 May, asking if they had a reliable man who could retrieve a trunk and some other things from Paris (LbC, APM Reel 107). The trunk, according to JA, contained "some Cloaths, some Plate, and some Papers & manuscript Books of great Importance. The Plate consists of Silver Spoons and Forks, of about Ninety or an hundred Pound sterling Value." The Willinks replied on 14 May (Adams Papers) that they had "a man of unquestionable fidelity whom we should with all confidence entrust on the proposed errand," but that his departure would be delayed about two weeks because of "Some domesticq affairs."

Financial Manager
Crossroads financial manager Barb McFee learned her bookkeeping skills while running an automotive business with her husband, Duncan, in Burns Lake, where she grew up. During her four years living in Edmonton, she did her an online certificate through Okanagan College before returning to Smithers six years ago for Duncan's work with Canadian Helicopters.
Crossroads is lucky to have Barb organizing us: "All things must balance," she says about her interest in bookkeeping. "There's a final answer and it makes sense. I don't do well with abstract. I'm all about the rules."
When not organizing the Crossroads crew, Barb loves a good book — she's especially fond of historical fiction and, in particular, Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. She shares her working hours between Crossroads, the Bulkley Valley Research Centre and her father's Burns Lake-based logging business. She and Duncan have two daughters: Meaghan, 20, and Andrea, 16.
Crossroads Associate
Born and raised in the Bulkley Valley, Mary is an anthropology graduate from the University of Northern British Columbia. For six years Mary operated a remote wilderness lodge south of Dease Lake. From slinging pies as a camp cook, to running rivers as a guide, to balancing off of floatplanes as a dockhand, Mary has worn many hats. Despite being happiest while stranded in the wilderness, Mary is currently living in Victoria, B.C. where she is focused on continuing her career and education in Anthropology, specifically in community-based research.

By doing research in an equitable manner, attuned to the particularities of each sociocultural context, Sean strives to enact measurable, relevant changes for the communities with whom he works.
Sean received a BASc. in Anthropology and Psychology in 2015 (University of Lethbridge), an MA in Research in 2017 (Mount Saint Vincent University), and an MA in Interdisciplinary Studies in 2019 (University of Northern British Columbia). This education provided Sean opportunities to hone his archaeological, ethnographic, and psychological research skills. As an ardent lover of northern BC's forests, Sean is just as happy doing fieldwork in the bush as he is conducting desk-based research from the comfort of home.

This will improve the educational process and meet the wants of companies right this moment and into the future.
The sad reality about modern education is that it really works to destroy creativity, character and private initiative in favor of standardizing people and their minds to ensure that them to suit better in to a the factories of 200 years ago. Just a number of of the explanations that folks select a career in special education embrace wanting to help others, helping students with reaching their targets, and watching student progress. In general, the primary accountability for education of sexualtiy and anatomy begins within the home.
I would caution a zoo enthusiast from extremely regarding research or claims that zoos are inferior forms of education when they originate from sources who have their minds made up that zoos are ethical crimes. Home Education does not go well with every family's needs and in some cases, might not be potential for households the place both dad and mom work full time. Moreover, socio-financial circumstances nonetheless play a really related function in educational achievements.
Why did George Washington free his slaves upon his loss of life, what was Thomas Jefferson's true definition of equality, how did John Adams cope with the stress of his presidency, and the irony of Jefferson and Adams each dying on the same day in the same 12 months; that being the 4th of July. Come with us on a studying journey to the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games and beyond.
These many initiatives illustrate that the international neighborhood now strongly believes that we need to foster – through education – the values, habits and life required for a sustainable future. Girls and young girls are using education – first at secondary, then at tertiary level – as a part of a technique to improve their life probabilities. Consequently, being online also means that the educational courses are extra broadly out there, reaching out to thousands (or even tens of millions) of people who're searching for such opportunities.

When asked if a specific T20 coach should be in place before his departure, Bayliss said: "The short answer is probably 'yes'."Eventually you will have specialist coaches as well (as players). That will obviously be a discussion with higher levels, with (ECB director of cricket) Andrew Strauss and people like that.
"Obviously, Paul Farbrace, I think, would do a grand job. When I was a number two, years ago, a bloke said to me the role of the number two is to make the number one look good. I think he's done a good job in that respect."England was knocked out of the T20 tri-series on Sunday after a win against New Zealand was not enough to proceed to the final against Australia in Auckland on Wednesday.
Bayliss said he has been considering stepping down as T20 coach because of the increasing demands of the job across the three formats."From the start of May last year, I think we have 21 months of cricket out of 23 – and we're halfway through that," he added."It's tough and that's what we're paid for and we love doing it. But it doesn't make it any easier."England will face host New Zealand in the first of a five-match one-day international series on Sunday.

The Indian government is likely to impose a safeguard duty of 25 per cent on solar cells and modules imported from China and Malaysia for the coming two years, increasing the cost of more than 85 per cent of the solar capacity in the country.
Exempting all other exporting nations such as the US, the UK, and Taiwan, the Directorate General of Trade Remedies in a gazette notification has recommended 25 per cent duty in the first year, 20 per cent for the first six months of the second year, and 15 per cent for the balance six months.
The imposition of duty would be notified by the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance. The DGTR has not notified duty on the three solar cells and module manufacturers in the special economic zone area – Adani Green Energy, Vikram Solar, and Websol Energy.
The notification said the issue of levy of SGD on sales/clearances by SEZ units falls under section 30 of the SEZ Act and Section 8B of the Custom Tariff Act, 1975, and hence "required to be dealt by the relevant competent authorities and outside the purview of this investigation."
"It should be noted that if the SGD is imposed without exempting the SEZ, it will affect the domestic manufacturing industry adversely as 3,825 megawatt of the 8,898 Mw of installed capacity of solar modules is based in the SEZ and 2,000 Mw of the 3,164 Mw of installed capacity for solar cells is based in the SEZ. If the government wants to impose SGD, it should exempt the SEZ," said Gyanesh Chaudhary, managing director and chief executive officer, Vikram Solar.
The SGD would lead to an escalation of 60-70 paise in the solar power rates which are currently hovering around Rs 2.5 per unit and above. "The final solar power tariff would now shoot above Rs 3 per unit," said a solar power producer, adding that in case of roof-top solar projects, the tariff would be more than Rs 4 per unit. This would render roof-top solar projects costly and unviable, he said.
The Indian Solar Manufacturers Association had filed an application in June last year with the government claiming imported solar cells have flooded the market, causing injury to the domestic industry. The association urged for a SGD for a level playing field.
The Directorate General of Safeguards in its preliminary report in January this year investigating had suggested a duty of 70 per cent on the imports coming from China. The DGS was merged with other trade remedial bodies under the umbrella organisation DGTR in May.
The DGTR held a hearing of all stakeholders in the matter, including ISMA, Indian power project developers and their association, exporting countries – China, Taiwan, Europe, the US, and their respective trade associations and government officials.
In its final recommendation, the DGTR observed that the position of domestic industry "further deteriorated on account of continued low price of import of product under consideration which continued price injury to the domestic industry, thereby establishing the threat of injury as well."
The DGTR took into consideration the market share and profitability, which sharply declined over the injury period 2014-2015 to 2017-2018 whereas market share of imports have increased during the same period.
The Indian solar manufacturing had asked for 95 per cent SGD on imports. On the other side, Indian project developers and more than a dozen importers from China, Taiwan, Canada, etc said any SGD would be detrimental to India's solar target. In its application, ISMA has estimated that with a duty of 20 cents/watt, the increase in power tariffs would be Rs 0.7 per unit. The project developers however, have calculated the increase to be around Rs 1-1.5 per unit.
The current installed capacity of Indian solar cell manufacturing is around 1,386 Mw and the module is close to 2,500 Mw, according to government estimates. Less than 20 per cent of the manufacturing capacity is operational due to low demand. Of the total solar power generating capacity, more than 80 per cent is built on imported cells from China, 10 per cent from the US, and the balance domestic. India's current solar power installed capacity is 21,000 Mw.

Another Valentine's card to show you today.
So the heart and beads are super old, like from the 90's, which I found in my stash. There weren't enough beads to completely go around the heart so I used some beads by Queen and Co to finish the job. I love how it turned out. The die cuts under the heart are by Spellbinders. The white scalloped square has been spritzed with Glimmer Mist. The sentiment is comprised of letter stamps by Stampin Up and a sticker by EK Success.
The background of my card is a stamp by Hero Arts that I heat embossed with red embossing powder onto kraft cardstock by Oriental Trading Co. The I used Ranger distressing ink Fired Brick and a blending tool to bring in the color. Ink by Versa Mark and Stampin Up.
The finishing touch is the double ribbon (Offray and Stampin Up) with the Spellbinders die cut on top of them. I used floss to make the 'x' and an eyelet to make the 'o'.
I hope your Valentine's day is filled with love. Mine is going to the pain doctor-boo.
Thanks for looking.

Since most homes have garages, garage door repair companies have begun sprouting up left and right because of the sheer demand for them. However, not all companies are alike and some are found better than others. Seems like your first time trying to find one, it might feel a bit confusing if you don't know what you're looking for. Although you may have certain preferences, make sure to research certain qualities which separate the best from all of the others.
Trustworthy – Your garage door is regarded as a primary entryway into your house. This is why you should leave all the handy work to someone who you can depend upon. Having a technician work on your home is the equal of letting him inside your home. A trustworthy technician is one that respects your privacy, has years of experience behind him, possesses maintained a good reputation throughout those years.
Amicable – Although most workers within repair industry are knowledgeable about the technical aspect health of their work, the same cannot be said for customer connection. Too often, homeowners find themselves not liking a technician simply because he's not friendly and extremely versatile. First time customers are especially in need of a technician who'll not only get the job done, but explain how things work and allay worries and things.
Efficient – Repair companies charge labor by the hour. Unfortunately, many companies take advantage of this by making sure they work slowly and discover additional problems after the initial work has been done. Simple repairs only take a jiffy while part replacements take only until an hour perform. A good repair company is quick in providing outcomes even if this means less profit upon their.
Transparent – The greatest concern of customers is the cost of repairs, and the best repair companies make sure that they are upfront and honest about the fees. No hidden fees and no extras, just reveal list on function done and its corresponding price. An effective and reputable company never worries about objections on the part of the customer and explains carefully and in great detail each item on the bill if needed.
Thorough – simply conduct repairs and leave after the job's done. If around an hour or two later you discover something wrong or maybe if the repairs was not thorough, there was nothing you can do. However, good companies have good follow through. Home furniture quality service and when there's something they missed or messed up, they'll remedy it for free.
There are a lot of companies offering great garage door repair service. You might not find the best one at first, but merely keep looking and you'll find the company that suits all these great qualities.

A single mother has revealed the heartbreak of raising one-in-a-million twins with Down's syndrome and wishes she could make their disabilities disappear.
Emma Mullard, 36, found out she was pregnant with her twins just weeks after turning off life support for her baby girl who also had Down's syndrome.
The devoted mother-of-five is a full-time carer for her boys, Alfie and Arthur, who are now six years old.
The boys are one of only 29 sets worldwide, and can't communicate, have autism, weak muscle tone, and use walkers or wheelchairs to move around.
Despite saying she adores them, Miss Mullard has revealed she understands why mothers want terminations when they find out their child will have Down's syndrome.
Miss Mullard said: 'People say to me, "Don't you love them as they are?" And I absolutely do, but anyone who has a child with a disability would whip it away from them if they could.
'The oldest man in the world with Down's syndrome is around 70 and I see adults who have died at 40 or 50, and that's not old.
'It's frightening to know that they could go that young. I don't want to get old and have to bury my boys.'
When Miss Mullard, of Preston, Lancashire, became pregnant again, she had no idea the twins she was carrying also had the condition, but felt sure it would not strike twice.
The Down's Syndrome Library state that the condition occurs in only one or two in a million twin births.
Miss Mullard had said goodbye to her five-month-old baby, Molly, in August 2011, just weeks before discovering she was pregnant again.
Molly had a multitude of Down's syndrome related problems - including a heart murmur and under-developed lungs - and a machine was keeping her alive.
Miss Mullard said: 'When I found out I was having them I thought to myself, "They're not going to have Down's syndrome, which is caused by an extra chromosome, because it's too unlikely".'
When Alfie and Arthur were delivered by C-section at 36 weeks on July 4, 2012 at Royal Preston Hospital, weighing 6lbs and 6lb 12oz, Miss Mullard saw their unmistakable features and knew they had Down's syndrome.
The condition typically causes mild learning disabilities and certain physical characteristics, but can make people more prone to health problems like heart and thyroid disorders.
Doctors were unable to diagnose Down's syndrome before the birth, but had discovered the twins were showing signs of a developmental problem at the 11 week scan.
Miss Mullard said: 'I remember the midwife holding Alfie up and I saw the same features that Molly had. I knew as soon as they were born that they had Down's syndrome.
'The medics swooped them away and my initial thought was that was the last time I was going to see them alive.
'I thought I was going to lose another child all over again, it was so scary.
'Even now I panic when the kids have a cold or anything. When you've lost a child, you know how quickly they can be taken away from you.'
Describing the moment she lost Molly, Miss Mullard said: 'She didn't even come home. I knew she had Down's syndrome when I was pregnant, but she was born with everything possible connected to it wrong with her.
'If she was still alive, she would have been coming up to eight and living off a machine, but I didn't want that for her.
'The hospital did everything possible to keep her alive, but it just wasn't enough, so we removed life support and said goodbye.'
When Miss Mullard took her babies home, she said she 'scooped them both up and looked at them, vowing to look after them'.
'I knew it was a long hard road ahead, but that I would do everything possible for them,' she said.
Miss Mullard, who is also mother to Harry, 14, Ben, 13, and Elsie, three, had just finished teacher training when her twins were born.
But she quit work in December 2012 to become the twins' full-time carer.
Sadly, Miss Mullard and their father split up shortly after their birth, as he found it 'very difficult' and their relationship changed.
Miss Mullard said: 'I do love my boys, but there are a lot of medical appointments and being a single parent is draining.
'But the twins are so worth it and I don't regret having them in any way, shape or form. I absolutely adore them.'
Understanding Makaton, a simplified version of British sign language, but, sadly, unable to communicate themselves using it, Arthur and Alfie are thriving at a Preston specialist school.
Despite her love for them, Miss Mullard admits, however, that if she could wave a magic wand and make their disabilities disappear, she would.
She explained: 'When they turn 18, they should be out clubbing, and I should be at home worrying about them, but that's never going to happen.'
'Even if I fell pregnant with another baby with Down's syndrome now, I wouldn't have an abortion, as I know I can cope, but some people can't.
'What type of life will that child have if the parents can't cope with it? It's why we have so many children put up for fostering and adoption with disabilities, so it needs to be each person's decision. There is no one right way.'
Fortunately, for Miss Mullard, who has adjusted her entire life to her boys' needs, even changing dentist, as it was not wheelchair accessible, bringing up Down's syndrome twins remains a joy.
She said: 'Your social life does tend to flicker out and I can't do anything on a whim anymore. I used to go camping every weekend, but I've bought a caravan and adapted it to their needs instead.
'Still, I adore my boys and I love being their mum.'

The carbon fiber engine will be used for new Ariane 6 and Vega C launchers
The qualification test of the motor has taken place at the European Space Centre in Kourou
The qualification test of the P120C solid rocket motor has successfully taken place at the European Space Centre in Kourou, French Guyana. The outcome of the test – the second for this motor– is a key step in the construction of the new generation European Vega-C and Ariane 6 launchers. Avio, the Italian aerospace reference, has played a central role in the development of the P120C.
It weighs approx. 8 tons and has a load capacity of 142 tons of propellant. In the over two minutes of solid propellant combustion time, an average thrust equating to 15 new generation air passenger jet engines can be generated.
The motor will be used also as a booster in configuring the Ariane 62 and Ariane 64 launchers and will be employed as the first stage of the new Vega-C launcher. When fully operational, 30 engines are expected to be produced every year at Avio's Colleferro (Rome) facility.

The Central Bureau of Investigation today arrested senior IAS officer BL Agarwal, who serves as the Principal Secretary (Higher Education) in the Chhattisgarh government, and two others in connection with an alleged case of graft.
The arrest of Agarwal and others comes two days after the CBI registered an FIR against the 1988-batch IAS officer and two private persons on the charges of corruption and criminal conspiracy.
The allegations are related to the payment of around Rs 1.5 crore by the public servant to the private persons as gratification for their help in a case against him, which is under investigation by the CBI.
The two other persons have been identified as a resident of Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh and a resident of Hyderabad.
According to the CBI, the case was registered against the Principal Secretary (Higher Education), Greater Noida resident Bhagwan Singh, Hyderabad resident Syed Burhanuddin alias OP Sharma alias Singh and other unknown persons under the section 120-B (punishment of criminal conspiracy) of IPC read with section 8 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
It was alleged that an amount of Rs 45 lakh (approximately) was handed over by the IAS officer to a hawala dealer at Raipur since 11.02. 2017 onwards which was to be delivered at Delhi to the private person, a Greater Noida resident. Out of the amount, around Rs 20 lakh has been delivered to the said private person at Delhi.
It was also alleged the receivers agreed to accept part gratification payment in the form of two-kg gold to be delivered by the brother-in-law of the officer to the contact of another private person, who is a Hyderabad resident, at Raipur.
During investigation, 2 kg of gold was recovered while searches were conducted at the premises of the accused persons and the hawala operators at Raipur, Hyderabad and New Delhi/Greater Noida on Saturday and Sunday.
An amount of Rs 20 lakh delivered earlier to the Greater Noida resident at New Delhi has also been recovered during searches.

obtusely angled, finely scurfy when young.
sessile or short petiolate; blade paler abaxially, oblong or rhombic-ovate to broadly obovate or narrowly oblong or narrowly elliptic, 10-30 × (1-)3-15 mm, thin, base rounded to cuneate, margin repand-dentate or sinuate-dentate to undulate or distal ones or all of them entire, apex rounded to acute, mucronate, densely white scurfy abaxially, grayish green and usually glabrate adaxially.
Staminate flowers

Pistillate flowers
fascicled in axils.
Fruiting bracteoles
sessile or with stipes to 0.5 mm, broadly cuneate-orbiculate, compressed, (2-) 2.5-4.5 × (1.5-)2.6-5 mm, usually as broad as or broader than long, much thickened at maturity, united only at truncate or broadly cuneate base, margin deeply and acutely dentate, faces with 2, sometimes swollen, dentate crests or covered with irregular, conic-acute, corky tubercles, seldom smooth.
brown, 1-1.5 mm. Flowering summer-fall. Sandy seashores, coastal salt marshes; 0-50 m; Ala., Conn., Fla., Ga., La., Mass., Miss., N.C., S.C., Tex.; West Indies; South America (Venezuela and Colombia to Peru). D. S. Correll and M. C. Johnston (1970), treated both
Atriplex texana
A. wardii
at the specific level. The diagnostic features used to distinguish them, dentate versus entire leaf blades and smooth versus tuberculate faces of fruiting bracteoles, fail singly and in combination. Both taxa were regarded by H. M. Hall and F. E. Clements (1923) as variants of typical
A. pentandra
, and this worker tentatively agrees with those authors´ conclusions. Specimens from Galveston, Texas---the type locality of
A. wardii
---are apparently intermediate with
A. mucronata
(see below) and form the basis on which
A. wardii
was founded. Some of those specimens have been annotated by me and others as
A. mucronata
. The plants have entire leaves more closely matching those of
A. mucronata
, but the small fruiting bracteoles, though usually lacking tubercles on the faces, are of similar proportions to those of typical
A. pentandra
Atriplex pentandra
A. mucronata
are certainly very closely allied.

When visiting the site of Petra, in Jordan, you can attend a nighttime show in the plaza in front of the The Treasury. Fifteen hundred paper lanterns illuminate the .75-mile cobblestoned length of the Siq, and candles on the plaza ground throw flickering shadows onto the facade while a Bedouin musician plays a pipe (a sort of flute). Visitors, sitting on the ground or on the base of The Treasury are then served hot tea while listening to a story told by a local guide.
Sitting on the base of The Treasury, facing the plaza towards the Siq, I looked upward and noticed the glorious starlit sky forming the backdrop for the flame red, candlelit facade and sandstone cliff.

Easy Tips to Keep Your Halloween Healthy-ish!
I admit, I have a thing for mini Kit Kat bars and Coffee Crisps. Halloween can really throw anyone's fitness goals out of whack because one night of fun often turns into weeks of random late-night binging.
Tips for Leftover Candy
My daughter loves Halloween and the treats that come along with it. Lucky (or unlucky) for me, she isn't much of a chocolate fan, so that means there can be a whole lot of Kit Kats and Coffee Crisps lying around the household ... just for moi. Sure, treat yourself a little by all means, but instead of over indulging daily, here are some quick tips on what to do with all that left over candy!
1. Get Baking
There are so many recipes that you can incorporate Halloween chocolate into. Cookies and cakes are one thing, but try even crushing m&ms into your energy balls instead of using traditional chocolate chips for a good change. To play it super safe, just get baking for your neighbours. #SorryNotSorry
2. Spruce up your Trail Mix
Try adding the Smarties and raisins to your trail mix for a little treat that can satisfy your cravings just enough for those times when you need it most. Just don't go overboard!
3. Water Cooler Convo and Candy
Bring all the left over candy into the office and let your coworkers enjoy. Everyone has that colleague who likes to chit chat at your desk - give them some candy and they will be on their way!
4. Education Never Looked So Sweet
Use it for educational games at home for the kiddies. Counting and pairing games are just some ideas. If you have super glue, get crafting! This should keep the kiddies busy without the extra cavities.
5. Piñata Party
Do you have a mommy friend who is throwing their child a birthday party in the coming weeks? Donate the candy for her piñata and save her some cash.
6. But First, Coffee
I thought this was a silly idea at first, but when I tried a small bit of a chocolate bar melted in my coffee I realized why people loved a comforting cafe mocha. Who knew? Save it for those hectic mornings when you need that little extra jolt of joy!
7. Sharing is Caring
Other moms have told me they donate their candy to shelters or they send it to family back home in other countries, but I'm not really sure I would do this. I would feel much better about donating healthy food!
8. Hoard it for the Holidays
With the holidays a couple of months away, you can always store and use it to decorate your gingerbread house or get crafty with a DIY Advent calendar.
Ok, But What is The Healthiest Halloween Treat Out There?
There are so many candies out there nowadays and those little bite-size suckers can add up. This doesn't mean only stick to the same ol' raisins, but there are some 'better' choices out of the popular bunch of Halloween candy.
Peanut M&Ms always rank as a 'smarter' option given the peanut instead of the pure chocolate goodness. And despite being worried about your kiddies' teeth, a small bag of Sour Patch Kids only contains 55 calories and 9g of sugar. It's also thought to be a decent option. Snickers always falls onto this list and I think it's because the macros are only 45 calories and 5g of sugar. Also, people tend to find it a good size for a chocolate fix when you need it. Twizzlers and Tootsie Rolls are almost always listed as a better alternative.
If you ask me, I do let my daughter have a treat or two of her choice (after a good safety inspection). But like most of us, by the end of the first or second week she is also sick of seeing this bag of Halloween candy. That's when we refer back to the tips listed above and figure out the best way to get it all out of the house ... and fast!
Wishing you a happy (and healthy-ish) Halloween, mamas!

text: From the picture in the Washington Post it looks like even potential Harvard students don't like Trump. It must be really really difficult if you're a republican especially our young one to have to turn your back on your party's nominee. I've said this before but when I was in college in 1972 I supported George McGovern. I don't know what I would have done if let's say Barry Goldwater had been nominated by the Democrats. So I applaud the Harvard Republican Club and its members for their courageous stance. Love must always Trump hate and our nation. We've heard a lot about all right and the last two weeks but let's call them what they are white supremacist.

New Figures by Prince
Compelled by the booming commercialism of American culture, Richard Prince started appropriating images in the mid-70s. At the beginning, he was taking pictures of ads, cataloguing them as different imagery types – couples, girlfriends, cowboys etc. Copywriting puns, literal or visual, became the basis for his language, as he developed the rephotograph – a new form of photographic image, redone in order to answer the latest cultural or social context. The appropriation era in Prince's oeuvre never ended, and he does it still today, employing all the technological tools he can. Instagram is one of his favorite platforms for adoption of photography, as his ongoing exhibition New Portraits at Gagosian Gallery depicts. Over the years, Richard Prince has redone magazine cartoons, and re-used pictorial imagery invented by famous modernists such as Picasso (he made a whole series after the master). His recent exhibition at Kunsthaus Bregenz was dedicated to rock n' roll culture, while delivering a whole range of mixed and recycled photos. A part of his body of work is made by Cutouts and New Figures, provocative or appealing pictures, collaged and transformed by the artist. Almine Rech Gallery in Paris is opening an exhibition of New Figures by Richard Prince, presenting this part of his artistic exploration to the public.
Rephotographed Erotica
New Figures series by Richard Prince is based on vintage erotic photography, showing naked girls pose on [mostly] black and white scenes. Juxtaposing collaged sections to the most alluring fragments of these photographs, Prince redesigned them, drawing the attention to another type of aesthetics. Combining image, design and drawing they unveil the great artist as an excellent draughtsman, with a refined sense for line and composition, rather than an image thief, some outraged authorship propagators like to call him. Emphasizing gesture, expression and emotion of the image, the artist created New Figures following the principles of his Picasso series, but with less drama, highlighting the subtle emotive charge of the images. Schematic or angular distortions of the voluptuous nudes guide the eye along the artist's idea that led him on the creation of an entirely novel picture, and subsequently, effect.
The New Method of Richard Prince
In the exhibition text, Jeff Rian tells that Richard Prince explained his rephotographs by altering a modernist axiom coined by American poet Ezra Pound in 1914, stating Make It New. Richard Prince appropriated even the phrase and recycled it into Make It Again (at the beginning of the 80s), referring directly to the era of TV and space travel. His adoptions brought a truly new outlook on the existing imagery, while the artist skillfully made the interventions appear completely natural, easy, and thus relatable to the public. The same method was used in the New Figures, which appear to have been created without much pondering, even though they tap into the most elaborate artistic discourse for which contemplation is essential.
Almine Rech Gallery in London is concurrently presenting A Parliament of Some Things exhibition by Mark Hagen.
New Figures at Almine Rech
Richard Prince, one of the most expensive and best performing contemporary artists today when we look at the auction room results and one among the Artnet's Top 100, will be shown at Almine Rech Gallery in Paris. New Figures exhibition are opening on October 10, running through December 12, 2014, allowing all the Parisian and visiting admirers and critics of Prince's work to experience a more artistic segment of his oeuvre.

Further clarity on payroll tax for contractors
As payroll tax provisions come under increased scrutiny by Revenue Offices, another case has provided clarity on how they should be interpreted.
In Nationwide Towing & Transport Pty Ltd v Commissioner of State Revenue (No 2) [2018] VSC 609, the Victorian Supreme Court has dealt the Victorian State Revenue Office a blow by setting aside payroll tax assessments issued in relation to a taxpayer engaged by RACV Roadside Services Pty Ltd (RACV) to provide emergency roadside services.
The taxpayer in-turn engaged and paid subcontractors to provide those services to the RACV. Payroll tax applies not only to the payment of wages to employees but also to payments to contractors under a "relevant contract" unless an exemption applies. One exemption applies when services provided by the contractors are services performed by persons who ordinarily performed services of that kind to the public generally in that financial year (section 32(2)(b)(iv) of the Payroll Tax Act 2007 (Vic)).
The taxpayer argued that its subcontractors did provide the services to the public – they not only provided the services they were engaged to perform by the taxpayer (eg towing vehicles) but would often provide additional services such as mechanical repair services and the supply of car parts not covered by the RACV contract. The Commissioner's view was that the contractor was not conducting a "genuinely independent business" because any services to the public was only in the course of providing services to the taxpayer.
Justice Croft decided in favour of the taxpayers. His Honour identified that the correct question at law was whether the subcontractors had indeed provided services of that kind to the public generally. The further criterion read in from Revenue Ruling PTA.021 about whether the contractors ran a genuinely independent business was not the relevant question to ask in relation to the application of this provision of the Payroll Tax Act.
This also serves as a timely reminder for taxpayers and their advisors to not rely solely on a public ruling, but instead carefully consider the actual provisions and case law when considering a challenge to an overly "aggressive" interpretation of the law by the revenue authorities.

In.turn: Summer Intern at 701 Creative
Melissa Lynch - August 28, 2018
During my month at 701 Creative, I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge, confidence and guidance. By taking the Regional Rail from Rosemont to Jefferson Station I was able to get the full 'Philly adult worker experience'. Feeling the 'hustle and bustle' of the city is what I was longing for since coming to school in August, 2015. The 40-minute train ride to and from my internship gave me time to think about the future and previous experiences and lessons I had and will learn. Arriving at 7th and Walnut, I felt at home on the 2nd floor where creativity thrived in the walls of the agency. Starting with an overview of the business, Sal Trovato and Laura Jacoby (whom I had as my Typography professor at Rosemont College in 2017), showed me what a life in creative, thinking and design really looks like. They also went over the foundation of the agency and how Debra, the previous owner, build it from the ground up to what it is today.
The first few days were filled with samples from previous clients and insights on how they manage their business in relation with these long-term partners. Ms. Jacoby's main projects are with the Gift of Life Donor Program, Institute, and Family House, so I was able to see years' worth of designs. Mr. Trovato, working alongside his partner, has some main clients as well such as, Roberts Event Group, Juniper, and Family & Co. (Jewelers). I was able to help them go through their excess of samples and organize those and store extras. This process gave me time to look through their work and understand the intensity of their projects. During this time, any questions I had on details or on the printing were answered. For example, I asked Laura about some invitations she had made for her Gift of Life client and she was able to elaborate on the stages in which it was drafted and how the final product was achieved. She was able to express what you don't see when you look at the final product, which is the process: the countless hours spent on developing an idea and flushing out what works and what doesn't work. It is very easy for a client or customer to look past the hard work and dedication that is put into creating a final product. After working at 701 Creative, I can now fully appreciate not only the skill it takes to be a graphic designer, but the time and passion that it takes as well.
About half way through my time at 701 Creative, I was able to witness and ask questions about a branding proposal for a benefits company that Sal, Laura, and Debra were presenting. This helped me see the levels to what it would take to refresh this company's brand and all of the parts to branding that people don't even notice. The 25-page proposal helped map what this company would need to help them shape their voice into documents and content, that they then gave to their customers and potential clients. This experience held the most value to me because it opened my eyes to see a higher level of thinking and how much more there is to a brand than just a pretty cool design, a color pallete, and a font family.
After getting some traction, I started working on their social media platforms and how to display their work on the web and other applications. Starting up their first Instagram page, I knew that posting their samples on this platform would get them a larger range of exposure. Mapping out what samples would be posted when, with what content, and in which order allowed me to use my experience and creativity to guide them to a new source of media. Tying in the website's blog to the social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook helped unify the posts being made and the kind of content that was put out. One of my first tasks was to edit and retype a previous template of a blog about creativity. I did some research and along with the original template I was able to finalize a blog about 'Sparking Your Creativity'. This blog tied into the posts we were also putting up as previous samples with clients such as CHOP (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia), Einstein Healthcare, Gift of Life (Donor Program, Family House, and Institute), the Opera Company of Philadelphia, Roberts Event Group and so many more.
The short time I spent at 701 Creative helped me identify the passions I had in the field of graphics but also helped me widen my horizons. Seeing not only what Sal and Laura do but their partners in the Marcom Alliance and behind-the-scenes social media marketers, I have realized how many different paths I could take. In-turn for all that I had learned, I have also gained a valuable experience that I will use and cherish for the rest of my career.
