To many students fresh out of undergrad programs, graduate school can seem like an unattainable dream; this goes double for military spouses seeking to further their education while their spouse serves. However, several grant opportunities are available for military spouses to help ease the road to a graduate degree. You and your spouse have done so much for the country, with these grants the country can give a little back.

Military Spouse Grants for Graduate School
There are many grants aimed at members of the armed forces. These offer either a set amount per academic year or a lump sum to be used during a student's time at college. We've broken down five grants and scholarships with varying qualifications that can be used for graduate school. No matter your situation, you should be able to find educational assistance to continue your studies.
Pat Tillman Foundation Grant
The Pat Tillman Foundation is an organization for veterans and active-duty members of the armed forces, and members (called 'Tillman Scholars') are eligible to receive a grant for further education for themselves or their spouses. The Tillman grant is for an average of $10,000 per year, dependent on things such as the recipient's community impact or service they've provided for others. While a Tillman Scholar, the recipient of the grant is expected to attend a yearly Pat Tillman Leadership Summit in Chicago. Tillman Scholars are also expected to maintain a 3.0 GPA or better as a full-time student.
Army Nurse Corps Association Scholarship
For the spouse of a member of the Army, the Army Nurse Corps Association (ANCA) can offer a large financial incentive to study nursing. With ANCA's scholarship, a student working toward a bachelor's or master's degree in nursing or anesthesia, with a spouse serving or having served in the Army, is eligible for up to $3,000 toward their education. Unlike the other scholarships on this list, ANCA's offer is specifically for nursing or anesthesia students, so there will be less competition to qualify. The ANCA scholarship is also available to spouses of veterans, so active duty is not a requirement to qualify.
National Military Family Association Scholarship
The National Military Family Association (NMFA) has a scholarship available specifically for military spouses, the NMFA Military Spouse Scholarship. The scholarship is available to a spouse of an active-duty, reserve, guard, medically retired, wounded, or fallen service member, and provides up to $1,000 for education toward a degree. This scholarship doesn't have a requirement for military branch, or a specific school, so a recipient will have a lot of flexibility with their education. A student could use the money provided by NMFA a graduate program of their choice.
Fleet Reserve Association Education Foundation Scholarships
The FRA awards scholarships based on academic progress and financial need, along with demonstration of positive qualities in leadership and character. Recipients must be personally affiliated with the US Navy, Marine Corps or Coast Guard, or through their spouses, parents, or grandparents. The Foundation awards up to $5,000 for those studying full-time towards undergraduate or graduate degrees at accredited schools.
Coast Guard Mutual Assistance Supplemental Education Grant
For a member of the Coast Guard or their family, the Coast Guard Mutual Assistance (CGMA) Supplemental Education Grant (SEG) could provide some financial relief. SEG offers CGMA members up to $500 a year in undergrad or graduate programs, a vocational certificate, or a GED program. SEG is mostly concerned with tuition assistance, but it also offers to pay for books and materials required for classes, within the $500 grand amount. Recipients may also be eligible for other CGMA programs, so a Coast Guard spouse could find additional educational help available.

@ctivation.pl is Humanity in Action Poland's first educational program on national and ethnic minorities, and is open to participants from Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania. It strives to deepen participants' knowledge with the help of an on-line course and a study trip to Poland. Specifically, the goal of the workshop is to provide the theoretical and practical background necessary for successful implementation of action projects.
The on-line course, which took place from September to November 2010, was divided thematically into six levels. The aim was to explore the impact of ethnicity, religion and language as they pertain to the infringement of minority rights. Furthermore, the course focused on international mechanisms guaranteeing the rights of people belonging to national and ethnic minorities, and international and national actors responsible for defense and protection of human rights. Finally, as individuals can also bring about a change, the course provided participants with the tools they need to implement their individual projects to the highest possible standards.
Another intention of the project was to facilitate contacts between these young leaders, and to allow them share their experiences and learn from the experiences of mentors, experts and activists. On-line forums and face-to-face meetings were both used.
The study trip in Warsaw, "Patchwork: Deconstructing Homogeneity of the Polish Society" which took place from December 5th to 12th 2010 corresponded thematically to the on-line course. The project participants examined the situation of the national and ethnic minorities in Poland and got to know something about the best practices in the field of human rights protection and education. The participants were offered tailor-made training for implementing their projects received individual counseling to enhance practical skills related to project management and fundraising. The project team responsible for creating and conducting the program was: Monika Mazur-Rafał, President of the Foundation HIA PL and Program Director; Magda Szarota, HIA PL Managing Board Member and HIA Program Coordinator and Yulia Gogol, @ctivation.pl Coordinator.
Throughout the project, @ctivation.pl's participants had the chance to learn from and network with representatives of the following organizations: Amnesty International, Association of Ukrainians in Poland, Common Council of Catholics and Muslims, Education for Democracy Foundation, Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, Human Rights Defender Office, Information Office in Poland/European Parliament, Humanity in Action Poland Senior Fellows' Network, Open Republic Association Against Anti-Semitism and Xenophobia, Organization for Security and Co-operation/Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, Polish Council of Christians and Jews, Polish-Ukrainian Cooperation Foundation PAUCI, Representation of the European Commission in Poland.
Newly inspired, and filled with ideas, the project participants have approximately five months to implement their action projects on national and ethnic minorities in their respective communities. HIA Poland will be assisting them in this process.
Moreover, HIA PL and PZU Foundation have created a joint grant competition for the best action project (to read more about it, click here)

Many may be wondering, what has happened to Canadian skilled visa system, the tumbling scores at selection rounds and rising number of selections. Is it due to the reduced popularity of the migration system of this country? Absolutely no, instead, Canada Immigration from India and other parts of the world has become a tad easy task due to large scale rationalization and overhauling of the visa laws, carried out by the new Canadian government.

In the recently concluded draw on May 31, 2017, the Canada authorities pitched the short-listing mark at 413, the lowest till now. This resulted in 3877 requests being escalated to the next stage of screening. The tally on this round was the second highest since January.
Not only this, just five days ahead of this round, authorities also selected profiles for FSTP scheme; selection points for this category were pitched at 199. There was a lot of good news for the people moving in through PNPs – linked to Canada Express Entry – had too a reason to rejoice with authorities clearing way for selection of applications having a score of 725 or above.

Mariners Insider Blog
GAME THOUGHTS: Angels vs. Mariners, Sept. 25th
I almost forgot to do the game thoughts. I was busy staring off into space and pondering what it would be like to be covering a winning team, or a team that didn't want to beat up it's best player. Anyway I digress.
A few quick notes... The Gar is here promoting his new foundation. And also Kaz Sasaki, the Daimajin, is here doing some commentating for Japanese television.
So let's get to some thoughts...
Top of first
Three ground balls to shortstop, three clean plays by Yuni.
Bottom of first
Ichiro gets a nice ovation from the fans and then promptly delivers a single to left for his 1,800th hit in the big leagues. With that hit he became the fastest player in baseball history to reach 1,800 hits, for any player starting their career after 1954. Ichiro needed just 1,277 games to do it. Next on the list is Wade Boggs who accomplished the feat in 1,352 games.
BETANCOURT WALKED, BETANCOURT WALKED. I DON'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW. That gives Yuni 16 walks on the season. He might get 20 on the season, at one point, if you told me that, I would have called you a bleeping idiot.
Raul singles home Ichiro. And then Wlad Balentien delivers a double down the line to score a run. Mariners lead 2-0.
Top of second
Cesar Jimenez gets himself into a spot of trouble walking the first two guys he faced. And even though the Angels have clinched a playoff spot and the AL West title, Manager Mike Scioscia still has Howie Kendrick bunt the runners over. It later results in a sac fly to cetner from Mike Napoli. Mariners 2-1.
Bottom of second
A lead-off double from Tuiasosopo and a single from Luis Valbuena goes wasted as Ichiro is rung up on a questionable call and Betancourt hits into a 4-6-3 DP.
OK it's now the bottom of the sixth, and my computer crashed once, and then started running slower than a footrace between John Olerud and Carlos Silva.
I have no explanation for it. It seems that nothing will make it quite better.
hmm... so what happened?
The Mariners lost the 2-1 lead when who else but Wlad Guerrero hit a two-run homer to right. Wlad Balentien tried to make a leaping grab and the ball bounced off his glove over the wall for homer. At first it looked like it might be a double, but then it was ruled a homer, no replay was used on the play.
The lead just moved to 4-2 as Torii Hunter doubled to score another run in the top of the seventh.
We head to the bottom of the seventh.
Ichiro with a single to lead-off the inning and then Yuni delivers a two-run homer on a 2-0 pitch to left-center off of Jose Arrendando. You see Yuni, it's good to hit with a 2-0 count. Raul walks but the rally ends there.
Top of eighth
Roy Corcoran gives up a single but everybody's favorite Southern Fried gentleman gets out of the inning.
Bottom of eight
Tui draws a two-out walk. You can slowly see him starting to adjust at this level. He'll still be at Triple A next year to start the season, but this time up here will have paid dividends. But after a fighting off a few pitches, Valbuena pops up to end the inning.
Top of nine
Vlad, jackshot, game winner?
Bottom of nine

Romantic tension
Well, one thing is certain -- you won't find each other boring! You may not feel physically or romantically attracted to one another in the beginning, but you will definitely feel an attraction of some sort -- and maybe even a magnetic pull based on your differing personalities that is compelling enough to surprise both of you. There will be a certain level of tension that naturally exists between you, and it will be based on balancing your own individual natures with your ability to offer one another love and support.
Your ideals and values will most likely be at odds, and the differences will be apparent from the get-go: Your lover will view you as eccentric, crass or careless, or somehow living on the edge. The resulting tension could be a trying experience for both of you, leading to misunderstandings and other difficulties; if so, the best way to deal with it will be to talk it out as best you can, and see if you can understand at least where the other is coming from. But it's more likely that this inherent tension between you will act as a stimulant in your feelings for each other. You'll be actively aware of one another and interested in this new person in your life who's so different from you, and from anyone you've ever known. You'll be attracted to one another for your very differences, as each of you will instinctively recognize that this is no ordinary connection that you share.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 1, 2017) -
NextSource Materials Inc. (TSX:NEXT)(OTCQB:NSRC) ("NextSource" or "the Company"), is pleased to report the positive results of its updated Feasibility Study ("updated FS") for its 100%-owned Molo Graphite Project in southern Madagascar. The updated FS was undertaken to reflect the Company's decision to revise Phase 1 of its Molo mine plan from a demonstration plant to a fully operational and sustainable graphite mine with a permanent processing plant capable of producing approximately 17,000 tpa of high-quality SuperFlake™ concentrate per year with a mine life of 30 years.
The updated FS for Phase 1 of the Molo Project was based on a Front End Engineering and Design study (FEED), and subsequent Detailed Engineering studies. The updated FS incorporates the procurement of all mining equipment, off-site modular fabrication and assembly, factory acceptance testing (FAT), module disassembly, shipping, plant infrastructure construction, onsite module re-assembly, commissioning, project contingencies and three months of capital. All capital and operating costs expressed below are considered to be accurate to +/- 10%.
Craig Scherba, P.Geo., President and CEO of NextSource commented,
"We are very pleased with the results of the updated Feasibility Study. It verifies that Phase one of our Molo mine plan is economically viable using an industry first, fully modular build approach under current and realistic market conditions and reaffirms the Company's strategy of using a two-phased approach to establish the Molo as a world-class producer of high-quality flake graphite. Phase one will be implemented with an incredibly low capital cost, competitive operating costs and with an initial production volume that can be easily absorbed into the current market. This will allow us to quickly penetrate the market, generate revenue and establish strong relationships with key buyers.
These results are a significant achievement given the very difficult reality that every junior graphite project is currently facing; depressed graphite prices coupled with high project capital costs that render almost every immerging graphite project as non-economical, and therefore non-fundable until market conditions improve. For Molo to realize a post-tax IRR of over 21% under these current market conditions is considerable and can be attributed to our unique modular build methodology, which provides us with a tremendous first-mover and economic advantage over other companies. Our end goal is Phase two production, where we can expect even better enhancements to the project economics through economies of scale, which is expected to further decrease operating costs on a per tonne basis. Based on the positive results of our updated FS, the Company will be initiating an economic analysis that will incorporate our unique modular approach for Phase 2 expansion, which will produce approximately 50,000 tpa of SuperFlake™."
As the Company did for its previous 2015 Molo FS, this updated FS uses an all-in OPEX cost for freight and insurance (CIF) to ship Molo SuperFlake™ concentrate to the end customer's port, which is how graphite is sold. As a conservative scenario, the CIF transportation costs were based on shipping to the European port of Rotterdam, Netherlands. Based on disclosed market information, no other competing graphite project who has released results of either a preliminary economic assessment or a feasibility study have included an all-in CIF transportation cost as part of their respective OPEX; they typically report an "at the plant" OPEX cost only, which results in a higher NPV and Internal Rate of Return.
The NPV and IRR stated below factors in an OPEX that accounts for all-in CIF transportation costs to customer port.

When compared with the results of the Company's previous 2015 Molo Feasibility Study ("2015 FS"), the following can be highlighted:
The selling price used in the updated FS is the volume weighted average sales price for the various flake sizes and grades of SuperFlake™ graphite concentrate that are expected to be produced from the Molo deposit. This price is based on current quotes and projected real (as opposed to nominal) estimates provided by UK-based Roskill Consulting Group Ltd ("Roskill"), who are recognized as a leader in providing independent and unbiased market research, pricing trends and demand and supply analysis for the natural flake graphite market.
No pricing premium for valued-added applications was applied on any sales. Furthermore, no financial or operational calculations and/or scenarios in the updated FS financial model with regards to downstream value-added processing of SuperFlake™ graphite concentrate were included. This includes purification, spherodization coating for battery-grade graphite and thermal expansion for specialty graphite applications, such as foils.
The Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources did not change as a result of the updated FS. As disclosed in the Company's 2015 Molo FS, the following are the proven and probable mineral reserves.
|C Grade (%)
|Proven and Probable
|(1) Proven reserves are reported as the Measured Resources inside the designed open pit and above the grade cut off of 4.5% C. Similarly, the Probable Reserves are reported as the Indicated Resources inside the designed open pit and above the grade cut-off of 4.5% C. Mineral Reserves are effective as of August 14, 2014.
The Molo project hosts the following mineral resources:
• Measured mineral resource of 23.62 MT grading 6.32% C.
• Indicated mineral resource of 76.75 MT grading 6.25% C.
• Inferred mineral resource of 40.91 MT at 5.78% C.
Effective date of the Mineral Resource tabulation is August 14, 2014. The Mineral Resources are classified according to the Canadian Institute of Mining definitions. A cut-off grade of 4% C was used for the "higher grade" zones and 2% C for the "lower grade" zones. Please note that while the 'high' grade resource occurs within the 'low' grade resource, each was estimated and reported separately. A relative density of 2.36 tonnes per cubic metre was assigned to the mineralized zones for the resource estimation. The resource remains open along strike and to depth. The Mineral Resources are inclusive of the Mineral Reserves above.
The sales price of US$1014 per tonne used for the updated FS reflects current market conditions. Several analyst reports forecast an increase in selling prices of flake graphite that, should they materialize, would have an additional positive impact on the Molo Project's economics.
|Discount Rate
|Net Present Value (NPV)

The Molo project is situated in the Tulear region of south-western Madagascar and is located 11.5km east of the town of Fotadrevo, covering an area of 62.5 hectares within the Company's overall property claim position of 425km2. The Molo deposit itself is 220km by road from the port city of Fort Dauphin, where the Port of Ehoala, a modern deep-water port built by the World Bank and Rio Tinto in 2009, is located and will be used for the Project.
Mine & Processing Circuit
The updated FS considers an open pit, fully-modularized mining operation using a 100% owner-operated fleet that will process an average of 240,000 tonnes of ore per year of mill feed (ore) that will be processed on site. The processing plant will produce an average of 17,000 tonnes per year of finished SuperFlake™ concentrate. All supporting infrastructure including water, fuel, power, tailings and essential buildings are included. Permanent accommodation for Phase 1 will be supported by NextSources' existing camp located in the nearby town of Fotadrevo.
The Phase 1 modular mine will utilize two 1.4 megawatt diesel generators, with one running and one on standby. Water will be supplied from a well field that has been defined by drilling and geo-hydrological modelling. The processing plant will consist of conventional crushing, milling and flotation circuits followed by concentrate filtering, drying and screening.
Phase 1 will employ dry-stack tailings, which will forfeit the need for a wet tailings facility and is designed to accommodate the run-of-mine tonnage for the 30 year life of mine. This is based on a co-disposal strategy where the finer tails are deposited with a coarse mining waste product that optimizes the waste footprint and environmental impact. A wet tailings facility is not required at the Phase 1 tonnage, but feasibility level designs have been completed for a tailings dam, which will be required at higher tonnages. This has been done to ensure that environmental permitting is in place for the ultimate production throughput and scaling delays are minimized.
For the 30 year mine life of the project, the ore mined is expected to yield an average grade of 8.1% C. The ore will go through a process involving grinding, flotation, dewatering, drying and sieving/classification. The process flow sheet has been designed for the standard purity of 96% C for all flake sizes, and will be capable of reaching purities in excess of 98% C (as demonstrated in the 2015 Molo FS technical report). The final products will be bagged and shipped in containers to various markets via the ocean shipping port of Fort Dauphin.
The project will see the creation of approximately 170 direct jobs.
The updated FS is based on a full suite of metallurgical test work performed by SGS Canada Metallurgical Services Inc. in Lakefield, Ontario, Canada. These tests included lab and bench scale process development work, a bulk sample/pilot plant program, and metallurgical variability testing. The overall graphitic carbon recovery into the final concentrate is 87.8%.

Seeing Red?

PTA volunteers support Red Ribbon Week. Photo courtesy of Bonneville Junior High.
by Carol Hendrycks
If you happened to drive by Bonneville Junior High School during the week of Oct. 23, students, parents and faculty had decorated the school and dressed it in red to promote Red Ribbon activities. This was a week of events geared to inform youth and community about drug awareness, hear about prevention education and the consequences of drug use. Schools all over the country take part in this national awareness campaign, helping youth and their families take a stand against drug abuse, learn to make healthy choices and encourage informed child-parent discussions about drug use.
They started off that Monday with a sobering school assembly with guest speakers Brent and Colleen Farr, local residents with a tragic life lesson they have learned to live with. "You could hear a pin drop," said PTA event organizer Gail Davis. "Their discussion delivered an inspired message about drug awareness that the kids not only heard but they could physically see."
The Farrs displayed pictures of Brent as a student at Bonneville, an All-American teen those many years ago who was an outgoing class president, athletic and a kid with a brilliant future ahead. Fast forward to after college when he was married with a 13-year-old son, when a cocaine overdose tragedy struck, leaving Brent with brain and nerve damage that is similar to a spinal cord injury. He suffered permanent damage 11 years ago, leaving him a quadriplegic, dependent on his wife, son and a wheelchair, who help in his everyday survival. Once the students noted his son Thomas was present at the assembly, questions began to fly. They wanted to know what that was like for him to see his dad in that condition since he was just a teen himself then. Students engaged with and related to Thomas and how as a teen boy he felt those years ago.
The message had a profound and personal impact on the students. Kimerly Hunsaker, student body officer advisor said, "I think realizing how many people die from these kinds of things made an impact on me and other people, not to do drugs."
As part of the week's activities, the students also signed a pledge during lunch on Tuesday to be drug and alcohol free. Red rubber bracelets were given to each student and they were asked to wear them all week. In doing so, students who were found wearing their bracelets would receive a treat. The PTA volunteers had a lot of fun roaming the halls before school handing out treats to the students.
On Wednesday, the seventh- and eighth-grade students got very competitive. They engaged in a bean-bag toss game during their lunch breaks. The students had so much fun earning points each time they got their bean bag in the hole. The eighth grade won. And on Thursday, everyone enjoyed eating red snow cones to celebrate a great week. As snow cones were handed out, the students were reminded that they were expected to be drug free and to make good choices throughout their entire lives.
Principal Rocky Lambourne of Bonneville Junior High School wrapped the week's activities and celebrating drug prevention messages by saying, "The PTA did a great job with our Red Ribbon Week message. The assembly with Brent and Colleen Farr set the stage for a great week, especially with their son's spontaneous participation in the assembly. The message was clear and close to home — make good choices the first time and every time. Just say no." The students reacted strongly to his point of view, which set the stage for a week of successful and positive results.

"If any man shall adore the beast and his image, and receive his character in his forehead, or in his hand; he … shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels, and in sight of the Lamb…. Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." – Apocalypse 14:9-12
"I admonish you again, parents: remove that diabolical sign of satan from your children's throats, for it will strangle their souls–this mark of the Antichrist, the cross that is broken, used as a disguise, the 'peace symbol.' Destroy them, before they destroy your children! Place the cross upon their necks, for that will be all that will save them." – Our Lady, February 11, 1971
"Do not let them bring into your homes this evil broken cross; or it will doom your household. It is the mark of the man of perdition." – Our Lady, February 1, 1971
"It is truly, My children, a war of the spirits. It is a time for the separation of the sheep from the goats. You are all now being tested, and if you fail you shall receive the mark of the beast. And if you pass through this crucible, you shall emerge with the sign of the living God upon your forehead, recognizable to all who are your brothers in the light." –Our Lady, March 15, 1978
It's a circular outline with a cross underneath but it's not completely symmetrical, the circle, it looks more like a distorted circle….
"You will understand, My child, because this symbol will become most prevalent about the throats of your children. Do not accept this symbol, because it is part of the plan of Antichrist, the forces of evil." – Jesus, November 21, 1977
"You have been asked to wear a sacramental about your neck. Now I will explain why, My children. I have warned you of the unseen evil forces about you. I have cautioned you that your human eyes cannot see this. But it exists and is as solid in their world as you are on your earthly plane. Know this, that there are two camps now on earth: Lucifer on one side and the road to Heaven and its followers on the other. You have all been marked. There are two signs now: the mark of the beast and the mark of the living Christ.
"Recognize the signs of the times, My children. The war is on." – Our Lady, March 25, 1972
"The cross is your salvation, and many of My children are wearing Lucifer's symbols. You wear a horn about your neck, and you say it is the Italian horn of plenty. It is not! It is the horn of Lucifer!…
"Many other emblems of satan are being sold even in these stores that are called Catholic, My children." – Our Lady, November 25, 1978
"My children, you have all been marked now with the sign of the cross. Go forward with graces from Heaven. You are now all apostles of the latter days. And many latter day saints shall come from among you." – Our Lady, June 18, 1977
"Graces have been given in abundance, and much is expected of you. If you fail this confidence that I and My Son have placed in you, you, too, will take your place with those who will be destroyed." – Our Lady, December 7, 1971
"Already the Eternal Father has marked His own, and the forces of evil under the title of 666 have marked their own. The war of the spirits accelerates. You will soon understand that the Eternal Father has now taken away all restraint, and you will all be now subjected to the great test." – Our Lady, June 18, 1980
"Mankind has already been marked by the cross of the Savior, or the sign of the horn. Yes, my sister, man has created a monster upon earth, and the Eternal Father will seek to remove him." – St. Theresa, June 18, 1991
"As time goes on, My children of light, you will be able to recognize with your human eyes, through insight from the Eternal Father in the Spirit, those who are marked with the sign of the cross or the beast." – Our Lady, July 25, 1978
"My child, there will be very many victims upon earth: those who are willing to sacrifice their own pleasures, their own human pursuits, to give them over to the salvation of souls, their brothers and sisters, who are marked with the mark of satan and are seeking to take it away. There is only one way: conversion, and then cure of the sick soul." – Jesus, July 25, 1985
"I give you the pearls of prayer, the Rosary. I give you the Scapular of great grace, and I promise you as your Mother that he or she who wears this Scapular upon his person at the time of his death upon earth shall not suffer the fires of hell.
"My children, all have been marked now by the cross or by the mark of the beast. My children, the Eternal Father now has tallied the score upon mankind." – Our Lady, August 4, 1979
"Only prayer can bring back those who carry the mark of the beast upon them." – Our Lady, August 5, 1974
"Protect your children and your families with sacramentals. Do not go out without your sacramentals. All are marked for death who are not in the state of grace! All are marked for death who are not in the state of grace!" – Our Lady, August 13, 1977
"The final count shall be in the few of those who are to be saved. My children, at this very moment of time upon earth, each and every person of conscionable age has been marked with the sign of the cross and redemption, or they have accepted on free will the mark of the beast, eternal damnation!" – Our Lady, August 14, 1978
"Each man on earth who has been baptized and set himself up as a follower of My Son in infancy has received the mark of the cross upon him. He can in his lifetime cast this away and be branded with the mark of the beast. This will be of his choice. No man will be lost without his own choice." – Our Lady, December 31, 1972
"All who have consecrated their hearts with Us have now received the mark of the cross upon them. It is a lifetime dedication and consecration.
"You will find, My children, that since you have received this mark upon you from the Father, you will be most unhappy if you reject the light. You have been chosen among the many. It is not by accident that you have been sent here by the Father. You are all truly children of God." – Our Lady, December 31, 1974
"No man shall set himself to judge another. You may counsel, but you must not judge. The Father is always the final judge." – Our Lady, November 24, 1973

Valparaiso University announced Friday that in the wake of declining enrollment for its law school, it is supplying buyouts to tenured faculty and faculty members with multi-year contracts. In the vast uber vast quantity of situations their moralizing goes no further than other law professors who share the identical points of view. In other words, it certain looks like the Presidential picks had been so dismal this year that 45% of the electorate couldn't get enthused adequate to cast a vote. Disclosure, I graduated MC in 2005 right when the legal job market began collapsing.
The monograph also offers insights on the legal mechanisms open to folks and communities following a conflict. This thread on TFL provides a sobering glimpse into what's happening to both the legal academic hiring market and the market place for higher-status and otherwise desirable non-entry level lawyer jobs (BigLaw mid-level or senior associate, DOJ/USA/Federal agency jobs, cush in-residence gigs with massive businesses, and so forth). Look at the law grad out of California with over $170,000 of law college debt and is now an Uber driver.
Prescriptive, or customary, law involves those laws which do not come into existence by direct decree of the lawgiving power, but by long continued custom of the neighborhood. Julie Gregg as Maggie Spencer, his producer and handsome Mark Wheeler as Doug McKnight, the cameraman rounded out this cast. Combining a skilled qualification in law with a criminology degree, this plan delivers an innovative, higher-good quality legal education with a strong international and social justice perspective and a real emphasis on hands-on experiences.
Standard roles contain lawyers to media and communication businesses, journalists covering legal troubles, working in regulatory bodies and social media. Thelma, a single mother of two in want of dental operate and who can not afford to see any doctor other than the 5 listed in her plan (if she has a single) is hardly the subject of several feminist law review articles. You, know, we are all nonetheless working on applying the Law of Attraction to one particular thing or one more. I clerked for a federal district court judge from 2000-2002, in the course of which time my law college loans have been in forbearance. The state, in exchange, felt compelled to set up its ninth—yes, ninth—law college.
If a TTTT closes, that dean does not get his/her 300K salary plus rewards, and would truly have to-EGADS!-practice law. Also, great luck locating a law firm that will pay you to take sabbaticals, so that you can create pointless law review articles. Also, getting a graduate, terminal degree, I am not sure a law college has the identical duty that say a juco, college, and so on. Right now I did read with some interest the lengthy post in the Chronicle of Higher Education about UF Law. The law college is announcing the donation Thursday along with news that it's renaming itself soon after the donors' late matriarch, Elisabeth Haub, a philanthropist and businesswoman who championed environmental causes.

The combination of Himalayan singing bowls being played as you float in a pool of alkaline water gently supported by skilled therapists offers a singular experience of deep relaxation, well-being and healing on all levels.
Facilitated by Rosie Warburton, Sound Healing Practitioner with over 20 years experience, and Licensed Massage Therapist- CE Provider # 50-9605.
In this workshop you will be introduced to two different modalities- Aquatic Therapy and Himalayan Singing Bowls- which, when combined, have a powerful effect on the recipient. We will explore the synergistic relationship between water, sound waves and the physical body. It has been well documented that simply floating in water, especially when supported either by flotation devices or a therapist, facilitates muscle relaxation and increases peripheral circulation. The reduction of gravitational forces allows deep relaxation and quiets the sympathetic nervous system, slowing the pulse and the heart rate and stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system.
The sonorous resonance of Himalayan singing bowls create the perfect combination of tones and frequencies to balance the right and left hemispheres of the brain. They also produce a "beat frequency" which entrains the brainwaves to a deep theta state associated with deep relaxation and meditation. The frequencies of the bowls stimulate the release of endorphins and endocannabinoids, boosting the immune system and providing relief from physical and emotional pain and trauma.
When a person is floating in water and the bowls are played in the water at the same time there is an even more powerful response. Sound travels 2-5 times more quickly through water and because the body is 60-70% water and is close to the same density and elasticity it feels more of the sound. These factors combine to offer a profound experience of deep relaxation, pain relief, improved mobility, release of trauma that has been stored in the body, emotional integration and deep meditation.
All participants in the workshop will practice each aspect of this modality. You will learn to play the singing bowls in the water, how to be an effective supporting therapist and everyone will personally receive at least one full treatment in the water. Ample time will be provided for group discussion each day.
This workshop will be held at Susan Wasserman's beautiful yoga retreat and studio with a chemical-free in-ground saltwater pool.
Time: 10am- 5pm both days, (Lunch break 1-2pm)

Undertaker Nerfed
Undertaker has been nerfed. Undertaker now only gains +1 Attack rather than +1 Attack and +1 Health. See the post from Zeriyah explaining this change below.
Quote from Zeriyah
Undertaker was frustrating to play against. It often gained both Attack and Health stats significantly above those of other inexpensive minions very early in the game. With this change, we expect Undertaker will still be better than other 1-Mana minions when played in a deck with a Deathrattle theme, but more likely to die in combat against other minions.
The golden version of Undertaker can be disenchanted for its full cost for a limited time once this balance change goes live.
We will continue to make balance changes to Hearthstone when we feel they are necessary in order to increase the variety of cards seen at all levels of play, with the goal of making Hearthstone a more fun and interactive game for everyone.
New Card Back: Maraad (January 2015)
The Maraad card back is now officially in the client. This is the reward for January 2015's ranked gameplay season.
Mac OS X Update Required

Once the patch is released, OS X versions lower than 10.7 will no longer be supported.Mac OS X 10.7 and above will continue to be fully supported.

Canadian Healthcare and U.S. Cloud Services: Is HIPAA Compliance Good Enough for Canadian Health Data?
Many Canadian healthcare organizations are asking questions about using U.S.-based cloud service providers to manage services such as email and databases. Cloud service providers in the U.S. and public organizations in Canada often ask whether compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), or with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recommendations, is relevant in…

Web writers must be business-like.
Your Mantra?
Multiple revenue sources!
Ah, the good old days of newspaper, magazine and book writing: you submit your work and get a check (well, youy hope you'll get a check…before you die.)
That was then, this is now. The change of the print revenue model from rich person's hobby to hard-nosed, bottom-line-driven business requires writers to be much more business-like as well.
A prime reason why writers are abandoning print publishing is that print media often demand that writers yield copyright, so they can pay us once but exploit our work in numerous media to earn multiple income streams for themselves.
The ease of publishing to a worldwide audience at low cost online makes it possible for writers themselves to publish their work, retain copyright, and develop those multiple income streams for their own enrichment.
How does a website make money for you?
Banners, pay-per-click ads by Google AdSense and other "context-sensitive" ad services, sponsored pages, and ads included on print-outs.
Affiliate Programs
Commissions paid by industry businesses who have affiliate programs: programs that pay you for leads or sales that come from affiliate links you put on your website.
Photo/graphic sales
By putting your photos online with detailed captions and ALT text, you are creating your own de facto stock photo gallery easily searchable by anyone in the world.
Writing & Photography Commissions
Your expert or specialty website is also an online brochure—with plenty of examples—for your accomplishments and services, publicizing your expertise to editors worldwide.
Content Licensing
Because you retain copyright, the text, photos, charts, diagrams and other content on your site may be licensed to other publications for a fee.
Content Sales
You may sell your text and photos as printable PDF files, or as Podcasts (MP3 files playable on Apple iPods and other portable music players), or in formats to be read on handheld Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs).
Consultancy Services
Companies, government agencies and individuals may come to you for consultation services related to your field of expertise.
Will these sources provide enough revenue for your site to make a profit? That depends on many things, including how good your site is, its subject matter, and worldwide travel conditions.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner are launching a shoe collection in spring 2016.
Kendall and Kylie Jenner are launching a shoe collection.
The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' sisters first launched a sell-out collaboration with Topshop earlier this year, and last week released the first pieces from their Kendall + Kylie clothing collection, which also immediately sold out.
But, Kendall,19, and 17-year-old Kylie have now added shoes to their range, and will launch them for spring 2016, alongside the swimwear and more clothing.
Yesterday (29.07.15) was the first time the sisters had seen the footwear, swimwear and clothing all together, and they were obviously very pleased with the results, as they eagerly placed orders for friends such as Taylor Swift, Hailey Baldwin and Gigi Hadid.
As the shoes weren't ready to wear yet, Kendall was wearing a pair of gold Manolo Blahnik BB pumps, while Kylie - who admitted she only owns heels and trainers - was wearing a pair of lace-up heels by Gianvito Rossi.
Kylie said: ''(Rossi) is a designer whose shoes I admire. The only flats I own are a few sneakers.''
Speaking to FootwearNews.com, Kendall added: ''(Manolo Blahnik) shoes are just so well made and comfortable.''
His new album Underneath It All is out now.
Pixies kicked off the European leg of their latest tour in the sleepy retirement town of Bexhill-On-Sea.

Sawadee Krap!
*with announcer tone* Next station is Thailand.
Went with colleagues on a company trip to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.
Living in Malaysia, so freaking near, yet this was my first ever visit to Thailand!
Before this, my impression of Thailand was voodoo, black magic,ghost / horror movies, ah kua (transexual), tiger show. Watched Thai drama (with subtitles of course), like the soft tone of their language, but that's it.
However, this tour really serves as an eye opener for me, especially those temples visits.
Thai temples are so beautiful in its details, delicate in its art, colourful yet remain its nobility.
A sacred place that brings serenity to whoever that visits.
The first temple that I went was Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Temple(วัดพระธาตุดอยสุเทพ).
Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep (Thai: วัดพระธาตุดอยสุเทพ) is a Theravada Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand.
The temple is often referred to as "Doi Suthep" although this is actually the name of the mountain it is located on.
There were a few varied legends on the origin of Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep.
One of it was "White Elephant Legend".
"According to the legend,a Ceylonese monk, Sumana, came to spread Theravada Buddhism to the people of the Srisajjanalai and Sukothai kingdoms.
He dreamt that the supreme being appeared before him and urged him to unearth the Buddha's relic at the site of the pagoda's ruins.
He took the relic to the king of Srisajjanalai who was delighted, and ordered that a special mansion be erected for the relic's safekeeping.
Sumana was then invited to show the relic to the king of Sukothai, but when no miracle followed the king doubted the authenticity of the relic and told Sumana to take it away with him.
As a devoted Buddhist, King Gue Na sent a delegation to Sukothai to invite Sumana to Chiang Mai.
The monk traveled to northern Thailand, stopping at Lumpoon, where he stayed for two years.
On arrival in Chiang Mai, he stayed at Wat Boobparaam, or Wat Suan Dawg, and discussed the building of a sacred pagoda to house the relic.
When he removed the relic from its packaging, he found that it had split into two pieces.
They decided that one piece should be housed at Wat Suandawg, and the other would be housed in a special place.
Legend has it that the site of the temple was chosen in a most unusual way.
King Geu Na ordered that a relic of the holy Buddha was strapped to the back of a sacred white elephant, and the beast was turned loose.
After crashing its way up the densely forested mountainside, the elephant stopped just short of the summit of Doi Suthep, trumpeted its last breath and fell dead to the ground.
The king ordered that a golden pagoda be built where the elephant lay, and the Buddha relic to be housed therein. The wat was then constructed around the golden chedi."
The Golden Chedi
My photos did not justify how big is the temple.
Source from Chiangmai-Chiangrai.com
Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep is accessible by climbing 309 steps through Naga Staircase(bear in mind Batu Caves stairs was only 272 steps), or by cable car.
( we took the fastest way indeed 😛 )
As they said, trip to Chiang Mai is not considered complete without a visit to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Temple.
Many stalls can be found at the base of Doi Suthep where we got our attention to the strawberries.
Only RM2 for a cup!
colouful Thai paintings
These covered pick-up trucks have two long bench seats in the back, hence the word Songthaew comes in, means 2 rows in Thai.
We hopped on, can fit around 12 people at the same time.
More photos on my journey to Chiang Mai & Chiang Rai in next post.
Stay tuned!

Rural landscapes and soil conservation
This Dissertation relates to the future quality of New Zealand's rural landscape. It reflects an awareness of the importance of sustainable management of landscape resources, especially the thin mantle of soil which is the basis for agricultural systems. The objectives of this study are: - to investigate soil erosion and how and why perceptions have influenced approaches to soil conservation, and, in turn, how and why this has affected the character and quality of our rural landscapes; - to discuss a wider approach to agricultural landuse that considers a range of values, including those intangible, that landscape encompasses; - to define design principles and propose guidelines for soil conservation planting that both protect and enhance the visual quality of rural landscapes. A case study is used to substantiate the objectives and illustrate the issues relating to the visual implications of soil conservation plantings.... [Show full abstract]

Skin Health and Treatment
Skin health is much more than just topical application of great product. Achieving truly radiant skin is somewhat dependent on your state of internal affairs. No matter how much you spend on the latest and greatest ingredients or fillers your skin will reflect was is happening internally. Topical treatment of your skin is also vitally important from hydration levels to effective sun protection and limited exposure.
Every individual has the tendency towards a particular skin type it is part of our genetic template. That doesn't mean if you are born with acne you will suffer with acne as you age.
