A No Claims Bonus is the number of claim free years that you have had an insurance policy in your own name. You may also have heard the term no claims discount, this is the amount reduced from your annual premium as a result of building up your no claims bonus.
If you have not been insured with us within the last two years or have held insurance with any other company in this time then you will need to send us a copy of your no claims bonus.
Proof of your no claims can be:
You can normally find your stated no claims years on your bike insurance renewal notice, or you can also request it from your previous insurer. They will normally send you a letter or email stating the total number of No Claims Bonus years that you have.
As more insurers move to online you may have this provided by email, or find it in a secure online account. You can forward this on as a PDF or email. (The information contained in the documents must be clear and legible.)
The following documents are suitable as proof of NCB:
The following information should be present and clearly legible in any proof that you send to us:
Please note:
We can not accept a Statement of Fact (without a renewal letter), a Certificate of Motor Insurance or a Policy Schedule as proof of your No Claims Bonus if it doesn't clearly show your name and the information stated above.
Proof of your no claims can be scanned or photographed, and emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also post it to:
Embankment West Tower
101 Cathedral Approach
Greater Manchester
If you are emailing proof to us, typically an image taken on your mobile will suffice. For images the file type should be a jpeg or a PDF.
Please ensure that the information contained in any proof is clearly legible.
If everything is in order, we'll log your NCB on our systems and let you know. If there are any issues, we will either write to you or call you on the contact number you provided when you purchased your policy.
If you don't send your proof of NCB to us, you will be sent reminders, and if your proof is not received your policy may be cancelled. If you are having difficulty obtaining proof, please call us on 0800 316 3915.
If you have been insured with us within the last two years and have not held insurance with any other company in this time then you will not need to send us a copy of your No Claims Bonus. Please make us aware if you have held a policy as we will need to check your previous information.

Before the Wright Brothers flew experimental aircraft and NASA launched glorified canisters into space, before John Diefenbaker nixed development of the Avro Arrow and Jazz started charging obnoxious prices for disgusting sandwiches, before, in short, there was anything resembling a flight industry, there were kites — Chinese kites, to be precise.
They were built and tethered to the Great Wall in centuries long gone, and miscreants of a criminal persuasion were leashed to these things and then set aloft. Such affairs unraveled without the lionizing context of today's extreme sports culture, and so one can imagine that the experience produced much in fear, but little in fun.
While that balance is reversed, taking flight instructions from Sea to Sky Air — based out of Squamish's Brackendale Airport — is still sort of scary.
Peter Balis is the company's chief flight instructor, and he also flies tourists on sightseeing excursions and research types on charter sorties. While not huge in marketed presence, Sea to Sky Air plays an interesting and special role in the district's tourism agenda.
In Squamish, Balis is known as Mama Pete. If you see him walking down the street, you shout "Mama Pete!" in one of those under-your-bad-ass-breath voices common in hip-hop. He'll say "Word!" in a high pitched yelp, common nowhere else. It's hard to say how these things come about.
But they are fitting. While Mama Pete is in no obvious way transgendered, he does put off a warm and maternal vibe. It's a necessary communication given that I'm about to fly a 1975 Cessna four-seater with no more cockpit experience than a brief ground lesson — and vague memories of old war footage depicting Japanese pilots hopped up on speed as they resign themselves to a kamikaze climax.
But Mama Pete exudes the sort of calm achieved after logging 1,200 flight hours. It's strange and foreign to me, this calm, but compelling in its wisdom, which I take as infinite.
"You gotta make this plane your bitch," he says, all nonchalant. "But you also have to respect it."
Mama knows, child. Mama knows.
And if you're going to try this, there's a bunch of stuff you should know, too. For example, you should know how much fuel you have. You can use the gauges in the plane to arrive at that conclusion, or, as is sometimes done by hard tickets like Mama Pete, you can dip a wooden peg into the mixture.
You should also know about the plane's controls. Mama Pete has a complete set of the same controls in the seat beside you, and he'll take over if you have a panic attack.

In early May 2018, I joined 375 customer experience friends and colleagues at another incredible CXPA Insight Exchange in beautiful New Orleans. It was a brilliant two days of mingling, learning, speaking, and celebrating innovation and progress in the Customer Experience industry. This event is always a highlight of my year. It's an opportunity to reconnect with friends and make new connections, gauge changes in the industry, learn which companies are pushing the envelope, and pick up new ideas for MGCX Advisors.
This year was a bit different for me. There was something new in the air. This year, there was actually talk of "Customer Success" in relation the the CX profession. Full disclosure, that was part of my agenda going into the event, and I had a little bit to do with stoking the discussion by presenting a "Show & Tell" session on the topic. But it was very exciting to realize this conversation is picking up more steam among these audiences. Let me briefly explain.
What Has Shaped My Views Today
I've spent my career criss-crossing roles in both Customer Success and Customer Experience. As a result, navigating the intersection between the two feels very natural to me. I joined Salesforce in 2004 as a Customer Success Manager and quickly took on special projects to scale customer engagement to support company growth. Those days were very "wild wild west," and I've shared my experience in this Salesforce book. I then moved into two roles that launched me squarely into the world of Customer Experience. The first was creating a Voice of Customer program to shape the roadmap for the Tech & Products organization. Then I returned to the post sales Customers for Life organization to launch Net Promoter for the company. Little did I know this jungle gym career movement would allow me to blend into my work all the things I'm most passionate about: human psychology, organizational design and customer service.
Evolution of Customer Experience and Customer Success
We are experiencing a resurgence of both the Customer Experience and the Customer Success industry. CX practices are not new. But I attribute the resurgence partly to the 2008 global financial crisis. This forced many companies into survival mode, doing everything they could to retain their existing customers to offset the cost of acquiring new ones. We now reference our current era as the "Age of the Customer."
Customer Success is also not new. And while Salesforce may not have invented it, they did spearhead the largest investment at the time in CS in the early 2000's.
Today, Gainsight has up-leveled the entire profession by productizing Customer Success in a platform and publishing both Salesforce's "secret sauce" and their own best practices in one of the most robust Customer Success blog sites I've seen anywhere. Seriously, it's pretty amazing.
Where We Are Today
It has been incredible to be part of the current evolution in CX and CS. It has also created some confusion and misunderstanding of the respective industries. Enter my latest passion topic: exploring and demystifying the intersection between Customer Experience and Customer Success philosophy, er roles, er functions, er lines of business (see what I mean?). I attend both CS and CX conferences every year, with Gainsight Pulse and CXPA IE being the two primary ones. I observed this discussion percolating last year at both conferences. In many instances, each of the respective audiences weren't quite clear on what "that other one" is or does. In one instance, I spoke with a former CEO of a well known CX platform company who thought Customer Success Management was another example of Silicon Valley throwing money at a problem that doesn't really exist to profit off that investment (I'm paraphrasing).
Aren't Customer Experience and Customer Success the Same Thing?
Here's my quick take (and a sneak peak to future articles). Philosophically, CX and CS have the same general goal, which is to strengthen customer engagement, retention and brand advocacy. But as business functions, they operate quite differently. They are both highly cross-functional. They both serve as the customer advocate back into the business. They both exist to increase value for both the customer and the company. GASP! Yep, I said it. The conversation about customer "outcomes" is mutually beneficial. Companies want to be profitable. So helping customers achieve their desired outcomes is a win win. BUT, Customer Experience and Customer Success are not the same thing. They are the yin to each other's yang. Like peas and carrots. Like green eggs and ham. Like...you get the point. I want to help move both professions forward by creating clarity in both areas and enabling synchronicity in corporate strategy and execution.
Final Thoughts and Preview of More to Come
This is one in a three part series of articles where I'll be writing about this topic. The next article will focus on the insights I took away from my CXPA Insight Exchange 2018 conversations. The third article will highlight insights from an informal research effort I'm conducting to baseline current understanding of professionals in both industries. If you want to contribute your thoughts, please do so here.
The discussion won't stop there. My goal is to work with Gainsight, CXPA and other partners to keep the conversation going through webinars, social & community forums, etc. More the come on that. I also want to thank Diane Magers, Jeannie Walters, and Sandra Fornasier for working with me on the CXPA IE 2018 Show & Tell discussion. It was hugely popular and the resulting discussions made it very clear we've much more work to do!

When asked what made the Christmas trip one of the highlights of their years at Everest, International Program alumni Dany Garza and Paulina Cantu both agreed it was a turning point in their year, an opportunity to come out of themselves and forge deeper friendships with other girls in the program, especially those who they had not gotten to know as well during the first semester. The friendships formed by the international students at Everest, both with their international peers as well as with the day school students, are one of the lasting impacts of the program.
This year, the international girls had the opportunity to forge these same friendships during their trip to Europe, visiting Paris, Rome, Assisi, Florence, Milan, and Switzerland. They are looking forward to continuing to build these friendships during their remaining months in Michigan.

Is Pepsi in bed with the gays? That's what former Texas Republican Party Treasurer and General Counsel Gina Parker Ford believes. Hair Balls knows this because Ford sent us a commentary detailing her outrage over a recent episode of Family Guy that "promote[d] homosexuality, gay orgies and also slander[ed] Christianity." Also, apropos of nothing, Ford makes sure to include the line "The Griffin family's dog, Brian, made critical and derisive statements about the Bush administration."
Ford, who runs a dental manufacturing company, wants you to "let your voice be heard" by boycotting products owned by Pepsi, including Frito-Gay, Quaker Gay Oats, and Gaytorade.
The former chairman of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation told Hair Balls that she doesn't hate homosexuals, she just believes they're breaking God's law and may spend eternity in the flames of hell.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
"I know what's in my own heart, and in my own heart...I don't hate someone who's a homosexual," Ford said. In fact, she's such a non-hater that she supports Exodus International, a fundamentalist Christian organization that non-hates gays so much that it tries to cure them! (Exodus, by the way, was founded by a non-gay who was so not gay that he actually got caught at a gay bar doing gay things with other gays, which is like the most non-gay thing in the history of non-gayness).
But let's look at what else Ford wrote:
"By promoting this filth, Pepsi is placing its seal of approval on such deplorable programming that promotes homosexuality and slanders Christianity. There is no excuse for advertising during this kind of programming. American businesses need to be urged to support family friendly programming, entertainment that encourages moral behavior, respect for others, and respect for religious freedom."
Amen, Sister Ford! If there's one thing Hair Balls detests, it's when people disrespect us by not believing in the same things we believe in. That's just so gay.

Classically trained actor and comedic icon Curtis Armstrong, most prominently known for his roles in films like Revenge of the Nerds, Risky Business, and Better Off Dead, in addition to television roles in Supernatural, Moonlighting and American Dad, has announced that he will be releasing his very own memoir this summer. The book is titled Revenge of the Nerd: Or...The Singular Adventures of the Man Who Would Be "Booger". Given that he's played numerous memorable characters throughout the years, you can only imagine the incredible stories that Armstrong has accumulated over time.
Armstrong is perhaps most well-known for portraying the character of Dudley "Booger" Dawson in 1984's comedy classic, Revenge of The Nerds (he even adapted the Twitter handle @CurtisIsBooger when he joined the social media platform), and has truly embraced the role of nerd in society. Since kicking off his film career with a role in 1983's Risky Business opposite Tom Cruise, Armstrong has worked on a plethora of various film and television projects, including his role as host and co-creator of the TBS reality-based game show, King Of The Nerds (which concluded its run in 2015).
Revenge of the Nerd: Or... The Singular Adventures of the Man Who Would Be "Booger" hits bookstores on July 11, 2017. You can read the full description of Armstrong's memoir taken from its Amazon page, and you can follow the link at the bottom to pre-order the book.
AMAZON Description
Risky Business. Revenge of the Nerds. Better Off Dead. Moonlighting. Supernatural. American Dad. New Girl. What do all of these movies and television shows have in common?
Curtis Armstrong.
A legendary comedic second banana to a litany of major stars, Curtis is forever cemented in the public imagination as Booger from Revenge of the Nerds. A classically trained actor, Curtis began his incredible 40-year career on stage but progressed rapidly to film and television. He was typecast early and it proved to be the best thing that could have happened.
But there's more to Curtis' story than that.
Born and bred a nerd, he spent his early years between Detroit, a city so nerdy that the word was coined there in 1951, and, improbably, Geneva, Switzerland. His adolescence and early adulthood was spent primarily between the covers of a book and indulging his nerdy obsessions. It was only when he found his true calling, as an actor and unintentional nerd icon, that he found true happiness. With whip-smart, self-effacing humor, Armstrong takes us on a most unlikely journey―one nerd's hilarious, often touching rise to the middle. He started his life as an outcast and matured into…well, an older, slightly paunchier, hopefully wiser outcast.
In Hollywood, as in life, that counts as winning the game.
You can keep up to date on Curtis Armstrong by visiting his website (www.curtisarmstrongbook.com), Facebook (www.facebook.com/Curtisthenerd), and Twitter (@curtisisbooger).
This has been another Shameless Promotion.

He's sleeping like a baby tonight. Most nights he's restless, moving around a lot. Not tonight. Tonight just slow and steady breathing, and the occasional roll-over. I love it when he rests this well. Makes me feel good.
He does this weird hand dance most nights when he's asleep. Out like a light, and his arms will rise up and his hands will slowly twist and turn and rotate on his wrists, his fingers fluttering in some strange ballet. It's the strangest thing I've ever seen a sleeping person do, and I find it incredibly charming. Those little quirks that make somebody unique.
The good stuff. Things like that are the good stuff.
The quiet snores. The twinkle in his eyes when he makes a terrible pun that makes me want to bury my head in the sand. The way he wraps his arms around me when he's rock solid asleep, making me feel like I've never been so safe, will never ever be safe anywhere else but in his arms, his arms, his strong, gentle arms.
We're coming up on four years now, and I am more in love with him than ever. Yeah, there's been some rough patches. I've been tempted on rare occasions to go running back to California, live with Renee, hide for the rest of my life, but we weather that shit through, because that's what a marriage is about, it's about getting through, pushing through, riding out the shitty weather together.
Because love isn't an accident, folks. It's a choice, and it's a choice you've gotta make every single day. When he does something that really pisses you off, or when you feel like she's not giving you the attention you need right now, you have to CHOOSE to continue to love this person, because, no matter how pissed off you are RIGHT NOW, tomorrow you're going to look into that person's eyes and see a certain tenderness, or a vulnerability, or a spark, and it will bring all of those feelings of adoration, of tolerance for human foibles, it will bring that stuff right back to the forefront.
This is something I never really understood until I met him, that it's a choice. It's not hormones. It's not something we have no control over. Love is a choice. And we can choose to love or we can choose to forget that love.
I choose to remember. I choose to stick it through. I choose to love him, even when I want to wring his neck. I choose to love him in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, in addiction and in sobriety, for as long as we both walk this green Earth. May we walk it for a very very long time to come.
And I don't run at the first sign of instability or trouble. I stick. I choose to stay, I choose to make it work, I choose to love him.
Because, oh man. When it's good, it's so damn good, and there's nothing finer, nothing more desireable in the world to me than to be with him, just sharing the same space. And we help each other, we make each other more complete, more stable, more sane, more.. just more.
June Carter Cash wrote "Ring of Fire" about falling in love with Johnny Cash, and how his drug and booze addictions made that shit HARD. Somewhere in there, June made the choice, the fucking HARD choice, and trust me, I know how hard that choice is, I made it myself, to love a man with addiction issues and other head problems. It sure paid off for June and Johnny. They were married for 35 years, until she died with Johnny sitting by her side. Johnny lived less than four months after her death. And I believe that on some level, that was a choice, too, that when she died, he didn't want to live any longer, and he faded away.
Loving him is, for me, like living in a ring of fire. It burns hot and high, and powerful, and I couldn't get out of it if I tried.. and I wouldn't want to try.
Loving him is my choice.
Love is a burning thing
and it makes a fiery ring
bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire...
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down,down,down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns,burns,burns
the ring of fire
the ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet
when hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
oh, but the fire went wild..

It's almost like there are these periods where our relationship is smooth and steady, and then there are times when it's like standing on the edge of this gorgeous, wonderful waterfall and just letting yourself drop, knowing that there's a safe pool of water ready to catch you at bottom. You take the plunge and you're in wayyyy over your head, but oh man, it's exhilarating, it's breathtaking, it's just incredible and you feel better than you ever have before and the water is cool and refreshing and exactly what you needed.

So, how do we deal with the heat when relying mostly on solar? Even with 750 Watts of panels, we can't run the AC in the bus. We could pay for a 55$+ campsite, but we try to find public beaches where we can spend the day and sleep in free spots. We haven't paid for a campsite since we left the Yukon. Actually, we very rarely pay for campsites anymore since it is so easy to find free camping spots, and since at this time of year you need to make reservations in advance to have a good campsite (and in our book, if you pay for a campsite, it better be a good one).
When we cover a lot of ground like we are doing this summer, our go-to strategy is to stop during the day (and often for dinner) at beautiful spots along the way, stretch our legs, bike, swim, and keep driving afterwards. By then, it's dark and it doesn't matter much where we spend the night as long as it's not too noisy. It allows us to save money (since we are spending a lot on gas during this time) and not worry about making reservations in advance.
In Canada, iOverlander is the best app to use to find free camping spots. Be aware that most users are in vans or 4 x 4 vehicles, so scout out the recommended spots in advance if there is no information about vehicle length in the comments to avoid bad surprises.
The XCO Mountain Biking National Championship was a bit of a bust. Aïsha crashed during her first preride and got a concussion, so there was no racing for her. She is still healing and focusing on the Western Summer Canada Games at the beginning of August. Mara felt strong and ready, but the crazy hot weather at 42 C with humidex was really rough for a Yukon kid. She battled hard, but crashed near the finish and lost 3 positions, finishing 14th over 21 strong girls. It was not the results she was hoping for and she was quite disappointed.
Mathilde is still too young to compete at National level, but took part in the Ontario Cup the next day. The weather was a bit cooler, but there was A LOT of traffic on the course. She's still quite happy with her race.
The girls are now on Instagram and they will share their own race reviews (and lots more) there. Give them a follow if you want:

As we approach mid-year 2019 mark, markets have had a full cycle of ups and downs with some indexes flirting with all-time highs and with some like Nasdaq flirting with correction territory all within a matter of a few weeks.
For the month of May 2019, US stocks were down -6.45% and US Bonds were up 1.83%. International [Ex-US} was down -5.49% while Real Estate markets were up a fraction at 0.10%. Still the markets year to date overall remain in healthy territory. US Stocks are up 10.89% and Bonds are up 4.85%, while International is up 10.15% and Real Estate charging ahead at 17.3%.
I will be sharing my perspective on the market via a video shortly.

I don't think we know the full story yet. I'm not at all convinced the second story is the "truth," any more than the first reports.
I guess it's possible a person can back over a police officer at 3 AM outside a club, in an unlicensed vehicle, and it be entirely an accident.
But I'm skeptical.
That's fair, there absolutely could be more to it. I leave the door open to be highly critical of Sano should more come to light.
As sketchy as all those details are, he was with his wife, in the DR (where having an unlicensed vehicle or being out at 3am or any number of things could be MUCH different than our assumptions), and the police released him without charges.

LETTER: Trout embodies a city with proud past
Friends, family and fans of Mike Trout were treated to the world premiere of Mike Trout: From Millville to MVP at The Levoy Theater on Thursday, April 6. Video produced by Justin Odendhal
After seeing "Mike Trout: Millville to MVP," the Major League Baseball presentation at the Levoy Theatre, I felt prompted to write this. My parents, Frank (Curley of Curley's Fuel Service) and wonderful mother Joanne (Millville teacher's aide, Cumberland County 4-H icon, the list goes on …) lived as a young couple at 2nd and Vine streets and and bought land in South Millville near the Burcham Farm and Maurice River, so my sister Shelley and I grew up in Millville.
Saw "Mary Poppins" and "Born Free" at the Levoy in the '60s. Bought horror comics "Creepy" and "Eerie" at Bozarth News Agency and Holly City News Agency. White cream buns at Belzer's Bakery and Abbott's Bakery. Was a regular at Millville Music Center for 45 rpm singles and the WIBG and WFIL Philly AM radio "hit lists" that the music store had every week. Went to school grade 1 through 8 in the "Bloody 3rd Ward" at St. Mary's back when class sizes were 60 to 65 every year.
Millville High School was prominently featured in the Mike Trout movie, where great players are now playing and being supported by Mike Trout. I was in high school with Mike's father, Jeff, who could hit a ball better than anyone in the school; I saw him do it. I worked for 18 years at Wheaton's (didn't everybody back then?) and kept seeing Mike Trout the last few months, either at the little downtown Wawa or the famous Jim's Lunch.
So what a thrill it was watching the excellent documentary of "Millville to MVP" at the Levoy. My favorite bit was when Mike said that it was more fun leaping up high at the fence to rob a guy of a home run than it was to actually hit a home run. That's Millville attitude at its best. Period.

Instapaper - Features, Pricing, Alternatives, and More
There's so much new content thrown at us constantly online, it's become a challenge to find time to truly read anything these days. Instapaper is one of the original reading later apps designed to combat this problem by giving you one place to save anything for later. You can save articles, videos, song lyrics, book reviews, social media updates, and more in one app where you can read, view, and organize them whenever you have time. Instapaper will strip down the important things—the article text and images, the video itself, the recipe steps—and save just that so you can easily catch up without being distracted by ads and comments.
If you love a simplified reading experience, Instapaper's minimalist design will impress you from the start. You'll see a list of your articles in the center of the page, with folders and options on the left. Its clean, distraction-free interface coupled with beautiful typography encourages focus and concentration read through all of your saved content.
When viewing a single article, move your mouse to show a menu with customization features. Pick from a number of built-in typefaces, choose the line height and background color that work best for you, or on a mobile device choose its audio options to have the article read back to you.. You can read an article or watch a video within the app, or click on its link to do so at its original source. Then, you can like, archive, delete, or share it with others.
With your newfound focus on the best articles, you'll find quotes you want to save and share with others. The newly added Notes feature allows you to highlight, comment on, and share text from articles right from Instapaper. It's simple to use and comes in very handy when conducting research—you can highlight important sections, then come back and reference them easily later.
There's several ways to save articles to Instapaper. Right from the app, you can click the "Add link" button found beside your username and paste a link to save it. The quick way, though, is to use the Instapaper browser extensions or bookmarklets. Install them in your favorite browser, then just tap the Instapaper button whenever you're on an article you want to read later. You'll also find many 3rd party apps—including popular feed readers like Feedly—that integrate with Instapaper so you can save articles without leaving your favorite apps.
As your collection of saved articles, videos, and updates grows, the need to manage them all becomes crucial. Instapaper includes folders that you can move articles and videos into for later reference, so things don't get too cluttered. Plus, there's the Liked and Archive listings in Instapaper, each of which show the articles you've already read and want to come back to later.
Each of these tools are handy on your computer, but you likely won't want to sit back and read through your favorite articles at your desk. One of Instapaper's highlights is enabling you to enjoy reading your content at any time and place through its free mobile apps for iOS and Android that carry the same minimalist design Instapaper is loved for. Your reading place will stay synced on any device, so you can start reading on your desktop, listen to a bit more of the article on your phone, then finish up on your tablet at night. Or, if you prefer reading on a Kindle, Instapaper can automatically send a "magazine" of articles to your Kindle each day as an easy way to catch up on your reading from an eInk screen.
Instapaper's core features are free, but with a $2.99/month subscription you can unlock a number of handy extra features. Full-text search, unlimited notes, an ad-free experience, faster speed reading, and text-to-speech in the mobile apps—all come with a subscription. If you're simply looking for a way to save and share your content for later, the free account is enough. If you plan on saving hundreds of links and what to search through them, add notes, and send individual articles to your Kindle, paying for Premium makes sense.
There's no reason to skip over an article just because you discover it during the work day—but there's also no reason to read it right then. Instapaper lets you save the best stuff for later, so you'll never let that useful article, cooking recipe, book review, or YouTube video slip away. It'll turn the web into a calm reading experience that works on your schedule.

This past year has been a doozie. We got an eviction letter in March, 2013. Our landlords expected us to be out of the house by June 1st. We freaked out. Everything you hear about housing in San Francisco is pretty right on. And we love it here. We didn't want to leave and we haven't. Well, we did change location but not until 3 weeks ago. Early in 2013 my partner's father began declining quickly. A lot more attention had to go to his care at the same time we were trying to deal with our upcoming move, not having any idea when we would be legally evicted. Joyce's father died at the beginning of January and then the race was on. The legal eviction came about 2 months ago.
We had to deal with her brother who had never lived away from home before. I found him an apartment, paid his first month's bills, hired movers, put his extra stuff in a storage place and made home for him.
I cleared out 50 years of junk that had piled up in that house. I'll give you an example: many years ago I had found a pair of scissors marked, "Bad scissors." Well, I found those same scissors in the garage. This time I took the pleasure of throwing them out!
Then I had to do the same thing with our home. We'd lived there for 20 years. I'm not a hoarder by any means but I surely saved up a bunch of things over those years. So after cleaning up after Joyce's brother and father, I had to do the same thing with myself. I couldn't believe that we were being evicted right now. A lesser person would have fallen apart.
But not me.
I decided to be unstoppable. To let the change change me. To go with the flow. To be happy. To stay connected. More to come.

Exchange Rate in Switzerland
Switzerland - Exchange Rate
Strengthening of Swiss franc likely to persist, defense of currency floor becoming harder
At the beginning of November, the Swiss franc came under considerable strain and approached the 1.20 CHF per EUR floor established by the Swiss National Bank (SNB) in September 2011. The recent strengthening of the currency stemmed from investors' high appetite for safe-haven assets, including the Swiss franc, amid rising concerns over deteriorating growth prospects for the global economy. Of particular concern are the fragile outlook for the Eurozone, slowing growth in China and ongoing geopolitical tensions.
Even though the SNB declared in its September monetary policy meeting that it would continue to intervene in the foreign exchange market to prevent the franc from surpassing the 1.20 CHF per EUR limit, its objective of containing the franc's further appreciation will become harder to achieve, at least in the near term. The strengthening of the franc is likely to persist in the coming months, mainly due to more pessimistic global growth prospects, but also owing to rising concerns that the European Central Bank's (ECB) purchase of covered bonds and asset-backed securities (ABS) will not succeed in reviving the Eurozone economy.
Additional pressure came from markets' uncertainty ahead of the upcoming gold referendum. On 30 November, Switzerland will hold a referendum on the "save our Swiss gold" initiative the right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP) has proposed. The initiative suggests that the SNB should hold at least 20% of its assets in gold, as the Bank's current holding is around 7.5%. The SNB strongly opposes the proposal, and has pointed out that such action would interfere with the conduct of monetary policy in its current form.
Notwithstanding the considerable upward pressure on the Swiss currency, many analysts agree that the SNB's currency floor will hold for the remainder of 2014 and throughout 2015. Vasileios Gkionakis, Head of Global FX Strategy at Unicredit, stated:
It seems that markets may be testing the central bank's resolve ahead of the upcoming gold referendum. We believe that the SNB will continue to defend the floor with "utmost determination" and – in addition to accumulating more FX reserves if needed – it is likely to increase the supply of liquidity to the Swiss franc money market through the expansion of the banks' sight deposits. Our central scenario remains for the existing monetary policy framework to remain unchanged in the foreseeable future.
That said, consumer confidence is holding at particularly low levels and the economy is likely to register a third consecutive year of deflation in 2014. Consequently, although the Swiss National Bank's stance toward the currency has hardened, it has gone further in suggesting that other measures might also be considered, including raising the currency floor or implementing negative interest rates. Gkionakis goes on to say that:
[W]ith Swiss consumer sentiment hitting a two-year low, inflation expectations dipping in 3Q14 and potentially heading even lower on the back of ongoing declines in commodity prices, the risk of the SNB taking even more action has increased. If it does, we think that raising the EUR-CHF floor is somewhat more likely than cutting rates into negative territory: the latter would have a more questionable impact (and would likely not be favored by the cantons as, in all likelihood, it would result in lower distributed profits), whereas the former seems like a more direct way of putting downside pressure on the CHF, especially as the policy has gained credibility since 2011.
Pressure is expected to persist on the Swiss franc in the coming weeks and FocusEconomics Consensus Forecast panelists predict that the CHF will end the year trading at 1.19 CHF per EUR. At the end of 2015, forecasters see the Swiss franc remaining strong and trading at 1.21 CHF per EUR.

Scripture: Proverbs 24:3 "A house is built by wisdom, and it is established by understanding;"
Encouragement: Great works and great results stem from great wisdom; and God is the source of all wisdom. Maybe you just don't know what to do in life, in some big decision at work or how to share your faith with a co-worker? If you lack wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you (James 1:5).
Prayer: Pray for God's wisdom for all our leaders and volunteers as they plan to serve at Easter at the Civic Center.

My Whole30 Journey: The Beginning
Disclaimer: I am a Whole30 novice. I don't own the book [but my sister does!]. I did some research, read the Whole30 approved dos and don'ts on their website, but that's all I know. So if you're reading this and you're like -- you're not doing it right! -- Forgive me. I'm trying! You'll also probably just want to quit reading this series, because let's be real - I am not perfect and this will not be perfect. Progress, not perfection, am I right?
So....it's happening. I'm facing the fear because IT HAS TO BE DONE.
I'm going for the Whole30. Officially. Like, blog official. I'm doing 30 days with only the natural basics: veggies, fruits, meats and NO SUGAR [and the loss of a bunch of other stuff like legumes and starches].
Let's get real for a minute -- I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out after looking at me one time, that I am addicted to food.
Do I have underlying health problems that cause rapid weight gain and difficult loss? Yes. [PCOS, read about it here!] Do I ever try to be healthy with my eating? Yes, yes, yes. There are some days that I choose my food really well, and days that I don't overindulge. But then there's those other days....well, let's just say that my stomach has no limits when it comes to donuts. And when do I want carb loaded, delicious delicacies? When I am stressed and anxiety ridden. Which, if you don't know from most posts that I write, is ALL THE FREAKING TIME!
I know I have to make changes in my relationship with food and focus on my health before I am going to be able to make other, even more substantial changes in my life. I want to do the things I outlined in my life audit. I want to be better, and do better.
So rewind to last summer. My sister challenged my Mom and myself to do the Whole30 challenge with her. I'll explain what this is a moment, if you don't know. I was all for it, until it started to become a reality, and I just did not have the willpower or the mind set to pursue it. I think I lasted 3 days or something. I got a sinus infection, and I plain quit. I don't regret it, it as just not my time.
However, my Mom and sister continued on with their journey, and it made a huge positive impact on their lives. They both lost weight, they felt more energized, and it made a lot of physical improvements for my Mom, by eliminating foods that were apparently causing pain and swelling triggers in her body. They both really benefited from the experience - so much so, that they have done the Whole30 program on and off over the past 5 months or so.
I was unable to finish last summer. Or really, I was unable to start. My mind was never in it, and I was sabotaging internally before I even started. I felt like a failure because I couldn't handle it. Could I really not doing so simple for just 30 days? #foreverfatandunhealthy
But now I realize, I have to be easy on myself. This is not an simple thing, giving up something I look forward to every day - food I enjoy. It's complicated and emotional, and I have to recognize that I am not perfect, so I can't expect perfection from myself. Should I have done it last year? Yes, probably. But that time is gone and here we are now...and I'm all in. I want to prove to myself that I have accomplish it. Even if I end up hating it, or gaining nothing from it, I'll at least have that feeling of accomplishment and goal achievement.
However, I have an inkling that I have food allergies. And once and for all, I'm going to find out how my body responds to clean, less inflammatory foods.
What is the Whole30?
The Whole30 is not a weight-loss diet. It is 30 days of lifestyle change. Specific food groups are eliminated from your diet in order to identify food allergies and intolerances, and it serves as a clean reset for your body. For 30 full days, you stay away from grains, sugar, legumes and some other foods [Read about it all here!]. Basically it's back to basics - UBER HEALTHY and good for you, bottom line - the things God intended for our bodies to have because it's natural. Even if it doesn't cause your whole life to change in the end, the Whole30 challenge can still be an amazing exercise in self discipline, with the focus being on a healthy lifestyle.
Why am I excited about the Whole30?
I mean, I'm not excited about losing my morning latte and my chocolate and pasta. How can you be excited about something like that?! Sometimes, I feel like that's one of the happiest parts of my day. But, I'm moderately excited about this for a few reasons....
- It's a challenge [goals, goals, goals!]
- No calorie counting [a thousand times yes!]
- No weighing during the 30 days [infinity yes!]
You're not supposed to be focusing on weight loss, so I'll not constantly be worrying and feeling like a failure because of the scale. If I'm eliminating the foods, focusing on the good foods I'm eating, and staying true to the guidelines, my body will adjust in all the positive ways.
What do I hope happens to me during the Whole30?
I have some specific goals:
- Increased energy
- Less "heavy feeling" [anyone else have this, like you're walking through water?]
- Lose weight
- Less pain in my body joints & bones
- Lessen the impact of PCOS symptoms
I feel like I turned 31 and my body started to slowly show me that is was in decay. Some days I feel like every bone is in pain, and I'm having a hard time keeping all the different aches at bay. It's very sad. Hoping that all my sacrifices will help ease some of my turmoil!
I'll be doing a journal of my Whole30 experience here on the blog!
I plan to post every week to give a recap of what I ate, how I felt, and all the tips and tricks I find along the way. [The goal is to also have some more content during the next 30 days that isn't Whole30 related.]
I am so curious to see how this whole thing makes me feel. Totally looking at it like a science experiment at this point. Praying and hoping this is worth all the toasted marshmallow lattes that I am passing up every morning!
When you read this, I'll already be a week in. Please check and make sure I'm still alive. [haha, but no really] Or, wait for my week 1 recap which should be out sometime this coming weekend.
Follow my journey! I'll be so happy to have you along!

There's no better time to be pretentious than when you're in college
Patrick Freyne's guide to living, learning and being when you make it into third level
Shakespeare - what a lightweight!
Be pretentious – ride a Penny Farthing
Have lots of big ideas
Be interested in things. Study things you are interested in. This is basically how to "cheat" at college. It's easier to learn things if you they're things you actually want to know. Sometimes it might be necessary to do a module or two that don't interest you to get to the stuff that does interest you but you can ride that out, right? Also, don't prejudge things. You may have your mind blown by medieval French literature or 19th-century accounting techniques or the smile on the face of a rare iguana. You're an individual after all and as a result a big weirdo.
Be pretentious. There's no better time to be pretentious than when you're in college. Smoke a pipe. Wield a silver tipped cane. Ride a Penny Farthing. Suck on a gin soaked rag. Trade in 19th-century pornographic playing cards and listen only to music that plays from a wax cylinder. Carry a "newspaper" (basically an olden days paper version of the website you're reading this on). Wear a cape.
Alternatively you could become "Authentic." This is basically being "secretly pretentious" but no-one will dare call you on it for fear of mocking your heritage. So, for example, if you're from a rural town play up your accent and act like a salt-of-the-earth man of the soil.
Read the Farmer's Journal. Call everyone "horse" except for horses, which you will call by their racing track names. Occasionally observe the behaviour of birds, crouch down and touch the ground of the campus, then lick your finger and stick it in the air and say "there's a big wind coming". It's Ireland. There'll eventually be a big wind coming and you'll be considered a legend by Dublin people who are basically thick.
Big ideas
Faff around drinking caffeinated beverages and talking shite in cafes and parks and around kitchen tables. Have big ideas. Concoct schemes. Find friends who will encourage your crazy schemes. Formulate bands and films and businesses and mad inventions. Make them happen but most importantly talk about them. Be inspired and over confident. Write Mark Zuckerberg off as a mewling underachiever. Dismiss Isaac Newton as an "apple-concussed physics twat". Read Shakespeare and think. "Pff. Lightweight. I can write something better than that." Faffing around, talking shite and having overly ambitious plans is the source of most cool stuff in the world and college affords you time and space for this behaviour.
Eschew realistic plans. Some of your student fellows will have more prosaic career trajectories in their heads. They will talk about "five-year plans" but five-year plans are for Stalin and members of young Fine Gael. Yes, if there are things you'd like to do in the future you can start looking at them now (if you want to be a journalist join the college paper; if you want to be a solicitor start being a terrible person etc) but I think if you follow the "be interested in things" directive of which I wrote in paragraph one, you should be fine.
Be nice to people. Remember that the best, most interesting people aren't always the seemingly cool people or the loud confident people. Always make an effort to talk to the person who looks like they're a bit left out. If you're the person who feels a bit left out ask people questions. People like being asked about themselves.
Go to the "library". Think of it as being like the internet except made of paper and flammable. Do not burn down the library. Read some of it. Reading paper makes for a better more immersive learning experience without any of the distractions you'll find on an iPhone or whatever internet channelling ocular implants you young people have these days.
Befriend a mature student. These elderly people in their mid-to-late 20s have lots of knowledge to share with you about the olden days. They can tell you about MySpace and the rainbow coalition and golden oldies music like Stormzy and Rihanna.
There are other exotic types to marvel at. There's the student union person who is on her second PhD and will never leave. There's the American student whose parents are richer than God and who is writing a structureless novel that gives everyone headaches. And then there are private school people. Skip the next bit if you went to private school.
The privately schooled
Observe the private school people. See how they gambol. They all hang out together and will ask you instantly where you went to school. You'll think about your own school – a bunch of prefabs that was recently swept into a river – and you'll wonder why anyone would possibly want to know the answer to that question. Well, it's because they were educated in a castle and only 500 people currently matter to them – all the other people their age who went to private school. They will, eventually, through no skill or fault of their own, run this country, however private education has made them naïve and easily confused. Be kind to them. Don't terrify them by being too "authentic" (see "Become Authentic") or talking about life in a less salubrious suburb.
I'm joking. Lots of private school people are very nice.
Don't drink too much. Most people have psychological warning signs on their way through a night out. "Oh I'm ranting about Ireland's Eurovision strategy, I must be on drink three" or "I'm singing Crazy in Love to the night bus driver, probably shouldn't have had that fifth drink." Knowing yourself is very important when it comes to booze and other substances. Also, if your psychological signposts on a night out include becoming depressed or being mean to people, alcohol isn't really for you.
Free stuff
Find out where the free stuff is at. Scour the notice boards and society web-pages for free food, drink and events around campus. Live like a bankrupt 19th-century aristocrat on the largess of others.
Better still, take over a nearly defunct still-on-the-books college club or society then run it like it's your own personal fiefdom. On Freshers' Week find the most distressed, least attended stall. It will usually have a name like The Continuity Ornithological Society or the Gentleman's Whittling Club and it will be manned by prematurely elderly second-year students who look like they've "had a good time" (this is a euphemism) and know nothing about ornithology or whittling. Tell them you know what they're up to and that you want in.
Return home from time to time like the prodigal son/daughter you are. Amaze the clay-pipe smoking townsfolk with never-before-heard tales from the big city/mid-sized regional town – the good broadband, the exotic pale ales, the horseless carriages, the gin craze, the tulip mania, the burrito bars, the fidget spinners. They will, no doubt, soon make you mayor.
The Worst Person in the World
Try avoiding The Worst Person in the World. At some point during your years in college you will meet The Worst Person in the World. They may come to you in the guise of a friend or flatmate or lecturer or boyfriend/girlfriend but one day they will say something bizarrely bigoted or mean and it will become clear that they are The Worst Person in the World. Twenty years from now you will picture them and think, "How did such a being live until adulthood?" You will survive them. If they are not actively criminal, your options are to treat them like a sociological specimen, distance yourself or, if they're stupid as well as evil, lure them with a trail of duck gizzards and racist literature onto a cargo vessel that's headed around the world.
Fret that you might be The Worst Person in the World. Ah, you're not really. You're nice. But as you meet new people it's good to be aware of the privileges and prejudices you have that you never thought about before. That's okay. One minute you're pontificating about "reverse sexism" or "Why True Detective is good" the next you're staring at your reflection in a beer glass thinking "Could I be a complete jerk and am only realising it now?" This is life. It happens to me once a week. Without such moments of clarity we never learn. It comes with being a thinking creative being. It's forgivable.
Treat your living circumstances as though they are the premise for a classic sitcom. All student living situations are based on Father Ted, Three's Company, Rising Damp or Alf. This is heightened by the fact that we're back living in overcrowded tenements thanks to "capitalism". Just roll with it. Ride through the inevitable dramas and squalor and food theft by playing a laugh track in your head and treat particularly objectionable flatmates as though they are "breakout characters" and their bizarre lovers and friends as though they are "special guest stars". "Oh he's stolen my salami again? Classic [insert flatmate's name here]!"
Ask for help when you need it. There is no place in the world better resourced to help you than a university campus. So whether you feel like you're failing or are having problems at home or in love or are feel generally low, there are many student union, departmental advice and counselling services for you to avail of. Allowances can be made. Help can be provided. Nothing can't be fixed. Ask for help.
Dance. Dancing is the best, cheapest and easiest way to have a good time. Don't be self-conscious about it. Anyone judging you for your dancing isn't having half as much fun as you're having. Trust me, your moves are awesome.

Forex Trading / Re: TA Forex Trading« on: September 30, 2018, 11:48:51 pm »
Bought another house 9/28/2017 that needed major overhaul, mostly done by me which denied me any chart time so I went inactive for a while. Started easing back into trading a couple of months ago and kind of started back head-strong last Thursday. I'm just a lurker with no knowledge to pass along but missed reading the posts.
Still good to hear from somebody. Figured the board was dormant for good. I'm still hanging in there. I couldn't give up on trading just yet. It's almost second nature now win or lose. Just thought I'd check in. Good luck to you

The first track on Prayer will be 'Image of God' because this fundamental concept sets the tone for the whole album, and ideally our whole lives in our behavior and treatment of others. The phrase "Image of God" comes from the biblical account of creation in the book of Genesis.
"Then God said, "Let us make humankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created humankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."
The key to understanding this lies in taking into account other creation myths from the same era and part of the world. I've done a fair amount of research into this, and the results have been fascinating! The "image of God" refers to the image or statue of a god you might find in an ancient temple. Human beings are that image. The ancient Jewish people were forbidden from making any sort of statue of God; reason being - they themselves were the image of God inhabiting the earth that is his temple!
This elevates humanity to a new level of dignity and responsibility. We are to be the representation of God to the world. "Ruling over" implies not a tyrannical, careless rule but a loving care over the earth and all its creatures.
In addition, we are to view every single human being we encounter as a representation of God. What would the world be like if we were to look into each other's eyes and see the divine? Surely that transcends all fears, prejudices and conflicts. And thus I write this song, 'Image of God.'

Obama: Jobs Summit Generated Good Ideas
President Barack Obama on Thursday said he'd heard many "exciting ideas and proposals" from participants at a White House sponsored jobs forum and said he hoped some could be put into action quickly.
"This has been a tough year, with a lot of uncertainty," Mr. Obama said as he wrapped up a half-day brainstorming session with some of the nation's top CEOs, small business and union leaders and economists.
He said he welcomed the suggestions as well as some "good, hardheaded feedback" from some people who don't always share his views, including the former top economic adviser to 2008 Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, economist Douglas Holtz-Eakin, who also addressed a rival GOP jobs forum earlier in the day.
The president said there were some ideas that could be put to work almost immediately and other ideas that will become part of legislation for Congress to consider. He listed "moving forward on an aggressive agenda for energy efficiency and weatherization" as a prime candidate for quick action.
"There's no question that it's difficult out there right now," Mr. Obama said. "Digging ourselves out of the hole we have dug into is not going to be easy."
With a 1.5 trillion dollar deficit the president says the nation can't afford another major stimulus package, reports CBS News chief White House correspondent Chip Reid.
But he said he puts a lot of faith in American ingenuity and industry. "We can't go back to business as usual," he said.
Mr. Obama had challenged his audience to help him come up with innovative ideas for putting millions of Americans back to work, saying he wants the "biggest bang for the buck." He opened the session by saying the unemployment problem "cuts deep."
"We cannot hang back and hope for the best," Mr. Obama said. "What I'm interested in is taking action right now."
Mindful of growing anxiety about federal deficits, Mr. Obama also tempered his upbeat talk with an acknowledgment that government resources could only go so far and that it is primarily up to the private sector to create large numbers of new jobs.
He said while he's "open to every demonstrably good idea ... we also though have to face the fact that our resources are limited."
He spoke the day before the Labor Department was to report unemployment figures for November. In October, the rate climbed to 10.2 percent - the highest since the early 1980s - and forecasters expected the November figure to be around the same level as October's, or worse.
After opening remarks, guests broke into different working groups to brainstorm with administration officials.
Republicans have been critical of the Obama administration's effort on jobs, pushing hard on the notion that the stimulus package has been wasteful and ineffective.
On "Washington Unplugged" Thursday, House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) suggested the event Thursday could ultimately amount to nothing more than a "photo-op." Republicans held their own, alternate jobs summit Thursday, with Minority Leader John Boehner complaining that "President Obama, Speaker Pelosi and Leader Reid have never run a business."
At the GOP summit, Democratic policies were deemed "job killing." Participants pinned the blame for the high unemployment rate in part on efforts to craft climate change and health care reform legislation as well as financial regulation.
Unions and liberal activists are also unhappy with the president -- demanding hundreds of billions more on infrastructure projects, Reid reports.
The White House forum was kicked off by Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, who called the present unemployment rate of 10.2 percent "a stark reminder of how much we have to do." She said the administration "will not rest" until it had been successful at job creation.
White House officials then showed a video about small businesses in hard-hit Allentown, Pennsylvania, where Mr. Obama was to speak on Friday in an effort to reinforce his message.
Vice President Joe Biden also addressed an audience that included the CEOs of Google, Xerox, Boeing and General Electric, labor leaders and prominent economists. "Your presence is welcome, but quite frankly it's not as important as your input," Biden said. "Without you, it will not become a reality," he said.
"Our task together is obviously not an easy one," Biden said. And while the $787 billion stimulus package had helped kick-start the process, "the government's capacity is still somewhat limited."

I was extremely proud to have been chosen as the Essex PGA (Professional Golfers Association) Captain for 2012.
My many major tournament victories include a PGA Tournament on Sky TV, the Essex professional Championship and many county and regional pro-ams. I'm a holder of five course records. I'm now based at Dunton Hills Golf Course after starting my career based at nearby Thorndon Park Golf Club.
(Right: Weston Homes/East Herts Classic, Sky Sports, Autumn 2012. And yes, happily, the putt went in)
I am qualified to coach all levels, from beginner to advanced, and I can teach all aspects of the game. Lessons take place at the excellent facilities of Dunton Hills Golf Course, just off the A127 and A128, and we can take in all or any aspects of the game.
"After a few weekly lessons with Roger, my game improved beyond recognition"
Roger teaching with the revolutionary Explanar at Dunton Hills Driving Range. The Explanar is a kinaesthetic golf training aid that aims to teach your muscles how to perform the perfect golf swing. The Explanar allows you to stop thinking about your golf swing so you can start to feel it instead.
Checking the fundamentals of your golf swing will often bring about huge improvements to your game, whether you're a beginner or a regular player. But we can also work on your short game: chipping, pitching and sand shots. Your scores will come down quickly once you improve your feel for these. Then there's putting – the inner game – where if you get the basics right, the rest will follow. During our lessons we can also discuss course management, a vital component in a game of golf.
You don't need to be a member of any golf club to have lessons with me at Dunton Hills Golf Course.
