May 15. <U1>> — Reconstruction of the world's entire economic system to bring about a more equitable distribution of wealth between capital and labor was set forth as a principle today by Pope Pius XI. in the most significant pronouncement of the church on social conditions since Ihc time of Leo xni. The pope. addressing 7.000 pilgrims of various nationalities gathered to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of Pope Leo's famous encyclical on labor. "rcnnn novarmn," introduced a summary of his own forthcoming encyclical reaffirming and elaborating in the lipht of modern conditions of his predecessor's pronouncement. Hroadcasl in Aniprica The j:J!i'.''s address was o'lnl- cart from the Vatican City radio station and re-broadcast In America so millions were enabled to listen In on the historic occasion. In the past the nope said there has been fin unquestioned, excessive. and unjust disproportion of lh° commodities of life between capital and labor and immense riches wrrc accunmlalcd in the hands of the few white the proletariat had nothing of their own save their haifas anil the sweat of their brows. "Therefore." he continued. "It !s absolutely necessary to reconstruct (he whole economic system by bringing it back to the rccjiiiremanls of social Justice so as lo insure mon equitable distribution of the unltod proceeds of capital and labnr. "By this will be achieved that uplifting of the proletariat which Pope LEO XIII. so ardently desired. The differences in social conditions of the human family which have been wisely decreed by the Crealoi must not. and cannot ever be abolished, but on the other hand the condition of the proletariat can- no). forever b? the normal condition of the bulk of mankind. In the above passage the pop? made H clear lhat the 'reducing of all mankind to a common level as sought in Soviet Russia is opposed by the church. Lynch Will Speak al Junior Bankers Meeting B. A.

Confirmation of title was not jrn.nted by the chancellor" In any delinquent tax lands but the action was continued against all lands except those In which Interventions were presented this morning. In announcing his decision, Judge Futrell said that he doubted If there ever had been a legal tax sale In the county and. that he had heard there never was one in Arkansas. There was ordinarily no pretension of regularity or legality to the procedure, the chancellor declared, adding that the stale supreme court had ruled lhal every slep of the sale from the preparation of the tax books to the actual sale must conform lo the law to constitute a valid sale. The chancellor said that the unjust part of the legislation covering the tax sales and redemptions was that money paid on delinquent taxes to clear title goes to the state and that no appropriation has been made for paying back to donees of land the sums they have paid the state for donations. Probably between 50 and 75 Interventions were noted In court this morning but evidence «as stibmlt- led, treating the cases as a consoll- dalcd aclldn.

An Egyptian opposition figure whose conviction for "offending public morals" could jeopardize his likely presidential run next year says the verdict is payback for winning a lawsuit against the government over its transfer of two Red Sea islands to Saudi Arabia.
Rights lawyer and activist Khaled Ali has declared his interest in running against President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi in next year's election, but would be disqualified if his conviction is upheld by a higher court. He said in a Facebook post late Monday that he intended to appeal.
El-Sissi, who as military chief of staff led the overthrow of an elected president four years ago, is virtually certain to run for re-election next year, although he has yet to formally announce his candidacy. He is heavily favored to win a second, four-year term, amid a widespread crackdown on dissent and a relentless campaign by pro-government media against any potential challenger.
Ali didn't attend Monday's hearing, in which he was convicted of making an obscene finger gesture outside a Cairo courthouse in January, where he and other lawyers had won a case against the government, blocking its attempt to hand over control of the two islands to Saudi Arabia under a 2016 agreement. He was ordered to pay 1,000 Egyptian pounds (nearly $60) to remain free on bail.
Ali, who unsuccessfully ran in presidential elections held in 2012, has disputed the government's contention that Tiran and Sanafir have always been Saudi, but were handed over to Egypt for protection at a time of heightened Arab-Israeli tension in the early 1950s.
Parliament, which is packed with el-Sissi supporters, ignored the court ruling and hastily approved the Saudi-Egyptian agreement in June. El-Sissi ratified it shortly after.
"We knew we will pay a high price when we decided to take up the case of Tiran and Sanafir," Ali wrote in his Facebook post. "The case is linked to the legitimacy of the current regime and the (January) court ruling reasserted that they (the islands) are Egyptian, thus placing the regime in a bind; so they fabricated the case in which a verdict was passed today."
He also repeated charges that the court ignored technical reports purportedly showing that the video of the alleged finger gesture was fabricated. His defense lawyers, he claimed, were not allowed to argue their case in court and their motions were ignored.
Amnesty International blasted Monday's verdict, saying it was a "clear signal" that authorities were determined to crush dissent and eliminate any potential rival in next year's elections.
On Tuesday, three major Egyptian opposition parties and 15 rights groups said the verdict amounted to a "punishment" designed to deny Ali the right to run for president. In a joint statement, they questioned the fairness of Ali's trial and accused the court of "flagrantly" ignoring the rights of the defense.
"The trial provides new evidence of the sad state to which Egypt's justice system has plunged, from the politicization of the legal process and the violation of the basic rules of justice, to the use of the judiciary to take revenge on political opponents."

About Us
The Bow Belly started off with food enthusiasts Nell & Omer in a small kitchen at the back of a shop in Hackney Wick. Experimenting with different types of foods and ingredients for the first couple of years, the pair decided eventually to concentrate on developing alternative recipes to common products, using as much locally sourced ingredients as possible.
Since then, trading on many of London Farmers' Markets locations all over London and other events, The Bow Belly team, always expending, keeps adding to their offering, now ranging from jams and marmalades, made mainly from fruit grown in Essex and Kent, through vegan and wheat-free cakes and on to fabulous fresh salads, hummus and falafel(made from UK grown Fava Beans) and the now-famous Shakshuka, made from delicious tomatoes grown on the Isle Of Wight and free-range eggs.
Always vegetarian, with many vegan and wheat-free options, The Bow Belly's aim is to offer a healthier alternative to common British street-foods without compromising on flavour and satisfaction. taking inspiration from British, Asian, Middle-Eastern and European cuisines, we want to create more and more options for people who want to have their lunch on the go. using local ingredients wherever possible, we strive to make the food business more sustainable, while supporting other local businesses, from fruit and vegetable growers to millers and cheese-makers.

Chris Bryant. Smug Twat.
Chris Bryant in a speech to Progress:
There's a great irony about the politics of Europe in the UK.
Europe is one of the most important determinants in our national destiny. More than half our trade is with EU countries. Without the EU we can achieve little on climate change, on international crime or on energy security. Within the EU we can ensure our major foreign policy objectives on Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan, the Middle East Peace Process and Russia can flourish.
Yet the moment you enter a debate on Europe you feel as if you are donning an anorak. In fact not an anorak - something far less cool - a cagoule. It's a world where exorbitant language is the order of the day and any old myth will do. Ranged in opposition are the eurosceptics, red, white and blue in tooth and claw, obsessives to a man (and interestingly they are all men), all togged up for the occasion.
You don't get out much do you? Condescending Fucktard.

Micro-needling is a skin-rejuvenating procedure in which tiny needles create punctures in the top layer of skin with the goal of improving overall texture and appearance. Collagen induction therapy (CIT) also known as microneedling RF or skin needling is a cosmetic procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles (microneedling the skin).It is a technique for used for a number of skin problems including scarring and acne. It is speculated to also work for hair loss
Micro-needling is proven to diminish the look of surgery and acne scars. This procedure breaks down old tissue and triggers the production of new elastin and collagen for healthier skin. Stretch marks are extremely difficult to treat and very few cosmetic treatments can improve their appearance.
Approximately 48 to 72 hours after the treatment you'll have an increase in collagen production. It takes at least four weeks to see noticeable results though. The new collagen will last for several years, which is why micro needling treatment is considered a very long lasting treatment.
Not only does micro-needling help treat acne scars, but it can also help treat and stop acne. How exactly it helps acne is not well understood but it seems to be due to the fact that microneedling results in a reduction in sebum production and makes the skin less oily
Many patients revealed that micro-needling procedure is quick without causing any discomfort as there is no such type of terrible pain. Let me define an appropriate procedure of Micro-needling treatment. The numbing cream that makes this process painless is applied on the skin 30 minutes before conducting this treatment.
How deep does the Micro Needling Therapy go? From very superficial penetration to deep dermal penetration, the professional applications have a wide range of potential to improve and correct skin problems without the use of lasers. Penetration ranges begin at cosmetic depth of 0.25mm up to 2.0mm.
Do Not Treat Keloid Scarring with Micro-Needling. Many people think that a Micro-Needling can treat all types of scarring, but they are wrong. Keloid scars are an abnormal skin condition caused by an excessive amount of collagen growth during the healing process. ... DO NOT Micro-Needling if you tend to get keloid scarring.
Micro-needling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is a minimally invasive treatment to rejuvenate the skin. A device with fine needles creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin.
Prior to your first microneedling session, you will be asked to avoid sun exposure for at least 24 hours. ... It is crucial to avoid sun exposure for three days after the procedure. You should avoid strenuous activity and exercise for the first 12 hours after treatment to prevent redness and bruising
The skin will be highly sensitive and these products will only irritate the it further. ... Wait 24 to 48 hours before you apply face makeup to give your skin the necessary recovery time.
It's totally normal for your skin to appear red after you've had microneedling done, but the majority of the redness should subside within 24 hours. However, if a more aggressive treatment was done, the redness may linger for a bit longer
It is customers that patients receive four treatments, spaced at least two weeks apart. The Treatment: The Rejuvapen treatment is a micro-needling treatment that stimulates the production of collagen in the skin.
The MicroNeedling treatment allows for controlled induction of growth factor serums, or hyaluronic acid, into the skins self-repair process by creating micro injuries in the skin. ... It is not recommended to have micro needling until at least 2 weeks after Botox and 4 weeks after a filler like Juvederm.
It is normal for the skin to peel after microneedling treatments within a few days. ... A new layer of skin is produced and the old skin begins peeling off. The peelingwill be minimal, similar to a mild sunburn. This will subside within a few days, leaving you with a youthful, glowing look and feel.
So you have to wait at least an hour before you put your makeup on. If you are using longer needles like 0.5 mm, it is best to apply makeup the following morning. This is to allow your skin to close and heal completely after the treatment.
Microblading is a technique where fine lines are scratched into the surface of the skin, and pigment embedded. The strokes accurately replicate hair (as in a brow or hairline). Results can last from six to 18 months, depending on a variety of factors such as color of pigment, skin type, and lifestyle.
We recommend that you do not drink alcoholic beverages or anything with caffeine (coffee, sodas) before having Semi permanent makeup/ microblading work done. Alcohol and caffeine cancause more bleeding. ... We recommend that you avoid exposing your tattoo to sun or tanning bed light while it is healing.
For brows, up to 18 months. For lips, one to two years. For eyeliner, three to five years. Hair color, skin type, after-care, and lifestyle also affect longevity of the results. Occasional touch-ups are a way to refresh the results. Done correctly, the treatments do not change color and fade naturally away with time. For areas such as brows, this allows future flexibility with shape, as standards of beauty change. Please note even if not visible to the eye, there will always be vestigial pigment permanently embedded in the skin.
All our pigments are cosmetic grade, meaning that they are sterilized and purified for cosmetic use. The ingredients used have been approved by the FDA for cosmetic use. Be wary of products that have not met safety standards, including those that contain "vegetable dyes" that are unstable and may change color after time. In addition, all our tools are single-use and discarded after the treatment. Our specialists are highly trained and experienced professionals.
The thicker pigment will prevent the ink to migrate under the skin. The procedure of corrections, if any, is less painful and less time-consuming. Microblading is semi-permanent. In the long run, and you can change the eyebrow shape easier thaneyebrow tattoo.
Follow these steps to properly take care of your skin after microblading: Avoid getting the area wet for up to 10 days, which includes keeping your face dry during a shower. Don't wear makeup for at least a week. This is because the pigments are still settling in to the shallow cuts in your skin caused by the blading.
The pigment used in microblading is semi-permanent and can last between 1-3years. The pigment will begin to fade within 12 months. In order to keep your brows looking fresh, a touch up is recommended every 12 months to 24 months maximum. After 2 years, full price for microblading will apply.
Then the not-so-great news: Whereas microblading typically lasts two to three years, with oily skin, that time can get cut to about a year. "It also depends on how the person takes care of their brows after,"
The best numbing cream for microblading is a stronger topical anesthetic with multiple anesthetic ingredients. A triple anesthetic made at our compounding pharmacy includes benzocaine, lidocaine, and tetracaine in one cream, which we call BLT cream
Do not use any products containing Retin a/Retinol for 7 days prior to the procedure. If you get botox it needs to be done 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after the treatment is carried out. Do not drink alcohol 24 hours before treatment. If you are on aspirin or any blood thinners stop taking it 48-72 hours beforehand.
You can still wear makeup on other areas of your face, but none should be worn on the eyebrows in order to promote optimal recovery. ... Ideally, you should avoid wearing makeup and follow the other aftercare instructions provided to you by your microblading technician for at least 14 days after your procedure.
Semi-Permanent makeup are treatments that replicate perfectly applied conventional makeup, most frequently on the brows, lash line, lips, and hairline. This is done by inserting cosmetic pigments into the dermis layer of the skin. Also known as Microblading, Micro-Pigmentation, Brow Embroidery, and Cosmetic Tattooing.
When thinking about it, most people assume permanent eyeliner is the most painful procedure. This is not the reality. ... Consequently, many people feel the permanent eyeliner procedure causes some discomfort, but often not anywhere near the pain the person was anticipating.
No makeup is to be applied for 72 hours (three days) after the procedure on the tattoo area. After any eyeliner procedure, use new mascara for the first 10 days after the 3 days of no makeup. Do not use an eyelash curler for two weeks
Micropigmentation, or permanent make up, is an innovative cosmetic procedure that enables both men and women to enhance the shape of their eyebrows, hairline, lips, eyes, and more, through the process of depositing pigment into the skin's dermal layer
No. You would be ill advised to drink alcohol in the first 24 hours after getting a Semi permanent makeup/ microblading. Alcohol consumption thins the blood. ... More bleeding might cause more movement of pigment away from the skin, resulting in a blotchy Semi permanent makeup/ microblading..
It is okay to exercise after getting a new Semi permanent makeup/ microblading. but you should avoid sun, soaking, stretches and sweat to allow it to heal properly. ... Monitor how you feel and the condition of your skin during physical activity to protect your Semi permanent makeup/ microblading. from excessive irritation which can cause scabbing.
We recommend that you do not drink alcoholic beverages or anything with caffeine (coffee, sodas) before having Semi permanent makeup/ microblading work done. Alcohol and caffeine cancause more bleeding. ... We recommend that you avoid exposing your tattoo to sun or tanning bed light while it is healing.
Do not drink alcohol in the first 3 days after getting Semi permanent makeup/ microblading. - Absolute fasting spinach, sweet rice, sticky rice and corn. - If your atopic allergic to chicken, beef or seafood, you need to be fast to avoid allergies affect tattoos.

Renal Artery Stenosis Stent is very safe and highly advanced method which has proven results for the treatment of Renal Artery Stenosis. Stenting has a high success rate when it comes to treatment.
Renal Artery Stenosis refers to the narrowing of one of more of the blood vessels leading to the kidneys. This medical condition can lead to a high blood pressure which is difficult to control. This narrowing is more of a blockage of the path which is caused by a plaque. This plaque comprises of mainly fats, cholesterol and other such materials. With time, these materials keep building up on the walls of the renal artery thus narrowing the path and eventually creating a blockage. Thus the victims of this medical condition are old people because it takes time to builds up the plaque.
Generally there are no symptoms for this vascular condition therefore it is hard to tell whether or not you are suffering from Renal Artery Stenosis or not; although if your high blood pressure is very hard to control, it might be a case of this medical condition. You need to go through special tests before you can get to know the exact picture. There are various treatments for this medical condition but the most advanced technique used nowadays to cure it is that of using a Stent.
A Stent is an artificial tube that is inserted inside the body at the point where there is any constriction in the blood vessels to counteract it. It is a kind of a wire mesh which is capable of expanding itself. This expansion property of the tube is used to prevent the narrowing or the blocking of the blood vessel. Renal stent is used to treat the similar medical conditions in the kidneys chiefly the Ureter. This Stent is held in its place by two coils that are present at each of the two ends of the stent.
A complete medical imaging of the person is done when the need is felt by the doctor to treat the patient using this Stenting method. This imaging process gives a clear and complete picture of all the blood vessels surrounding the kidneys so the exact location for the placement of the Renal Stent can be determined. To further pinpoint the location of the constriction in the blood vessel, an angiography is performed. In this a dye is used to track the flow of blood through the blood vessels. Using a tracer the flow of dye can be recorded and the constriction pinpointed.
But this kind of treatment requires extra care on the part of the patient. He should always follow and ask for instructions from his doctor post the operation. Regular and periodic visits to the doctor for examination of the stent are crucial. This is because the renal stent can dislocate or drift from its place if not taken care of properly. Moreover the stent generally develops clots around itself therefore asking and following the instructions regarding the specific medication course to be followed by the patient is extremely important.

LONDON — Within the depths of the Crypt — as the architect Sir John Soane rather whimsically called one region of the extraordinary museum here that was once his home — a cramped passageway is meant to resemble a Roman catacomb crowded with relics. But look above the 2,400-year-old Egyptian sarcophagus of Seti I — carved from two blocks of translucent alabaster — and you gasp.
The low basement ceilings give way to a rectangular space more than two stories high, reaching a conical dome from which daylight pours down. And everywhere you look — hung on walls and arches, mounted in corners and on pillars, resting on protruding brackets linked to balustrades — are faces, ornaments, urns, vases, medallions, friezes and busts.
Artifacts and antiquities from ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome are fitted into a vertical mosaic, a towering facade of ornamental miscellany. A 17th-century bronze of Pluto is not far from a cast of the Apollo Belvedere.
The specimens crowd together — their type, size, date, origin and authenticity scrambled — so we are forced to see them without curatorial categories. And presiding over it all is a marble bust of Sir John himself, which, two weeks before his death, he placed precisely where he wanted it: perched atop a lion, towering authoritatively over miniature statuettes of Michelangelo and Raphael.
The Architect, then, as superior to the Renaissance Sculptor and Painter? Perhaps that's what he had in mind.
But Soane, the most renowned and rewarded architect of early-19th-century London, also presides here as the ultimate authority: He is the Collector.
And in Sir John Soane's Museum — the home that the architect gave to the nation, its founding parliamentary act stipulating that it be preserved "as nearly as possible in the state in which he shall leave it" — the collector is as important as the architect. Thousands of artifacts are on display, some settled in familiar places, others placed in self-conscious wall mountings. The collection includes jewelry, furniture, clocks, watercolors, Etruscan vases, architectural drawings, books, paintings (including astonishing Canalettos), even mummified cats. Soane pried these objects from their worlds of inconsequence or invisibility or honorific display and joined them in a world of his own making, giving them a new form of life.
We don't think enough about collectors or collections. I don't mean the collectors who become connoisseurs of particular styles of art — like, say, Sterling and Francine Clark, whose attention to French Impressionism in the early 20th century ultimately led to the creation of the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Mass. I am thinking instead of individuals who are so consumed by the urge to collect that external value or assessed importance come to seem irrelevant. The object becomes less significant than the place it holds. The collection is the focus of attention.
Museums generally acquire such collections and then transform them. They institutionalize a collector's vision, or absorb the objects into a more encyclopedic enterprise. But collections have a distinction of their own.
This is one reason the relocation of the Barnes Foundation to Philadelphia was so controversial: It was created by Albert C. Barnes in 1922 "to promote the advancement of education and the appreciation of the fine arts and horticulture." The building's original location in Merion, Pa.; its gardens; the methods of aesthetic display; and the arrangements of artifacts were considered by the collector to be aspects of the collection.
And of course, it isn't just the arrangement but the selection that matters. Great collections are startling, idiosyncratic, even iconoclastic. When you visit the Shelburne Museum in Vermont, you can still see the vision of the museum's founder, Electra Havemeyer Webb. The museum has expanded since her death, continuing to acquire objects and mount exhibitions, but it retains her perspective and even, in many places, her method.
And she didn't just collect objects; she collected buildings and structures, 25 of which were moved to the museum's pastoral 45-acre site, joining more than a dozen others. We see a decommissioned 19th-century lighthouse, a Greek Revival mansion, a one-room schoolhouse, a Vermont covered bridge, a rustic hunting lodge, a carousel, a circular barn and a steamboat. Enter such structures and you might see a 3,500-piece three-ring circus laid out in miniature, 167 canes made out of colored glass, a collection of portable inkwells, some 400 dolls, 900 duck decoys or 225 horse-drawn carriages. The Shelburne is a collection of collections, with more than 150,000 artifacts.
It is also the product of a personal vision, inspired, in part, by Electra Webb's rebellion against her parents' own distinguished record as collectors; in 1929 they left the Metropolitan Museum of Art an Impressionist collection that is still one of its most remarkable bequests. Electra Webb recalled that her mother was horrified by the taste that inspired the Shelburne: "How can you, Electra," her mother admonished, "you who have been brought up with Rembrandts and Manets, live with such American trash?"
Her collection seemed to coalesce around practical objects of daily use, artifacts of the home, many of which would have been alien to her immensely privileged early life as an heir to the Havemeyer sugar fortune.
There are times too when the point of a collection might never be fully articulated by its creator; it is always in progress, an evolving exploration, the collector's continuing attempt to reach understanding. That is the sense I get from the Wellcome Collection in London.
I do not know how much of it will remain on display since the Wellcome is now involved in a major redesign and development project at its Euston Road home, but the original collection, acquired in the early 20th century by Sir Henry Wellcome, an American-born pharmaceutical entrepreneur, contained perhaps one million artifacts. It still includes a fragment of skin from the body of the 19th-century philosopher Jeremy Bentham; an 18th-century tubular bellows used to resuscitate unconscious patients by blowing tobacco smoke into their rectums; Napoleon's toothbrush; Sumatran amulets and Florence Nightingale's moccasins.
"My plans exist in my mind like a jigsaw puzzle," Wellcome once said, "and gradually I shall be able to piece it together." He never did. But his plan seems to have been an ambitious attempt to recount the evolutionary history of the world's healing arts. And however dated the collection's approach seems now, there is something thrilling about the enterprise and the artifacts that remain.
But whatever the ambition, the power of a collection can be immense; it takes on its own life and may not even reflect what the collector originally had in mind. One of the most unusual collections I have seen was encountered almost haphazardly, in the outbuildings of a modest home in the suburbs of Fort Mitchell, Ky.
In 1910 William Shakespeare Berger, a Cincinnati businessman, began accumulating material related to the ventriloquist's art. Before his death in 1972, he endowed the Vent Haven Museum in his home, where every year members of an international organization of ventriloquists still gather to celebrate their craft.
To the initiated, the sight of some 800 dummies arranged in rows in various galleries might seem just a tribute to the tools of the trade. But visit as an outsider and you will leave thinking about sculpture and illusion, about the powers of the human voice, and about the ancient ventriloquist's art. You will also be haunted by visions of these eerily human or bizarrely comic creatures of wood and plaster and wire.
None of the places I have mentioned are systematic about their displays; none guide you through a single coherent narrative; all are overwhelming. The artifacts in these collections would also never be encountered in the world the ways they are here. There is something unsettling, obsessive or even frightening about the activity of collecting (and not just if you are looking at a room of staring dummies).
The collector is a character that has even found an occasional place in the horror genre. Collections exhibit the workings of a fierce and uncompromising determination, wrenching apart the familiar world and ruthlessly molding another. They assert absolute possession.
But collectors can also have an almost childlike pride in the collections they assemble. However fierce the impulse, it can also be playful, even whimsical, as the Shelburne reminds us.
Even Sir John Soane created a "Monk's Parlor," a room in which an imaginary medieval monk, Padre Giovanni, might sit in mock-Gothic splendor. Through a stained-glass window, you can see the stone tomb Soane built for Giovanni, which is inscribed, "Alas, Poor Fanny!" Within it, Soane buried Fanny — his late wife's dog.

Tomahawk really disappointed me with Oddfellows. Mike Patton is surely a true genius, but in my opinion he always needs capable people around him giving him the right condition to present it. I just heard through the entire Faith No More discography a view days ago and it always strikes me how bad Album Of The Year is, grrrhh:-)
I know the first record of Code Orange Kids and have to say that this single surprises me quite a bit: That's a change in sound!

2017 is here, and most of us are scrambling to make up a few New Year's resolutions that, frankly, we'll probably forget about in February. Here's how to create a resolution that actually sticks so you can better yourself this year.
Below are six tips to help you stick to your New Year's Resolutions:
- Your goal should be specific. Make your goal concrete, and if necessary, break it down into smaller steps. For example, if your resolution is to have a 'cleaner' beauty wardrobe, resolve to buying one clean products every couple of months instead of clearing out your beauty cupboard entirely.
- Write your resolution down and put it somewhere where you can see it on a daily basis. This will help you to stay focused.
- Hold yourself accountable by letting others know about your resolution.
- Have coping strategies in place to deal with obstacles that may arise along the way. For example, if your goal is to drink less alcohol you may consider skipping parties or events that involve a lot of drinking or bring a sober friend along to provide you with support and to help keep you on track.
- Reward yourself at each milestone; if you resolve to spend less money; reward yourself by getting a massage instead of going shopping. It is important to be conscious of the rewards you chose.
- Ask for help. Try to be open to seeking professional help when needed. Knowing when to ask for help takes a great deal of courage, strength and wisdom.
What resolutions have you made for the New Year?

The sun sets over Laredo Bay and the Sea of Cortez. (Photo: Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images )
Whales dance in Loreto Bay waters. Colorful fish accent the coral reefs, enticing divers, snorkelers and photographers. The islands themselves are a patchwork of sandy beaches, rocky shorelines and desert-like landscapes – an open invitation to seabirds, sea lions and curious explorers. Animals far outnumber people in and around the islands of Loreto Bay, Mexico. The town itself, perched on Baja California's eastern coastline, is described as quaint by some and sleepy by others. When you think about it, old town Mexico fronting a marine-rich ecological zone is really two vacations in one.
In 1996, the waters and islands of Loreto Bay gained national park status. Covering roughly 800 square miles, the Bay of Loreto National Park stretches from Isla Coronado on the northern end to Isla Catalina on the southern edge. Just under a decade later, in 2005, UNESCO named this wildlife-rich area a World Heritage Site. Then the Nature Conservancy in the United States got involved, helping to create the Grupo Ecologista Antares, a nonprofit environmental group. The more than 800 species of marine life that call the bay home are now suitably protected and getting international exposure.
Five main islands and countless unnamed bits of rock are part of the marine park. Isla Danzante is the closest to the town of Loreto and the smallest of the named islands. It sits about 3 miles from shore. Isla del Carmen, the largest, is 3 miles northeast. Isla Coronado, second smallest, is about 8 miles northeast of town. Heading south, you'll find Isla Monserrate and Isla Santa Catalan, at roughly 10 miles and 20 miles east of Baja California's shoreline. Collectively, they are known as the Coronado Islands.
The best beaches in the Loreto area are on Isla Coronado and Isla del Carmen. You'll need a boat – either rent one via your hotel, or join a tour. Desert & Sea Expeditions has day trips to Isla Coronado, Isla Danzante and Isla del Carmen. Coronado Island is known for its startlingly white beaches and marine-rich coral reefs. Isla Danzante is similarly blessed but also has a hiking trail that takes you to a designated viewpoint. Photo ops abound as you gaze at the blue sea fronting a desert coastline and neighboring islands. Isla del Carmen, home to the most beaches, is a favored resting site for sea lions and sea birds. The underwater reef system is also more extensive, which means more colorful fish ready to be discovered. Companies that sell whale watching and kayaking tours often include island visits in their itineraries.
Those who come to snorkel or SCUBA dive are in for an eye-popping treat. Colorful parrot fish, angel fish, rainbow wrasses and puffer fish call the marine park home. Grey whales come to the Sea of Cortez every year between January and March to mate and bear their young. Blue whales, humpbacks, sperm whales, orcas, fin whales and dolphins are also frequent visitors. Whale watching trips from Loreto are a big draw.
Kayaking trips also offer opportunities for wildlife watching. Major kayak tour operators such as Sea Quest Expeditions and Sea Kayak Adventures offer day and overnight tours. Sea Kayak Baja Mexico operates a retail store in downtown Loreto and most of their guided island paddle trips begin here (multi-day trips typically meet outside of town). Kayaks and camping gear are available for rent and lessons are offered for all skill levels. Dolphin Dive Baja has snorkel trips, day and night dives, and SCUBA certification.

It's the time of year again to discuss my least favorite economic subject, the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
For the first year since the program began, there is actually some good news. The best news of all is that the only provider here in Robeson County, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, has filed for a 4.1 percent rate decrease. That's right, decrease. This 4.1 percent decrease is an average across the state. BCBS has warned that some counties may actually have increases of up to 10 percent and some counties will have a decrease of nearly 10 percent so we'll have to wait and see what will actually happen here.
Still, the rates are very high. This 4.1 percent decrease comes after yearly BCBS increases of 14.1, 24.3, 32.5 and 13.5 percent since the ACA became law. BCBS turned a small profit on its Obamacare customers in 2017 after losing $450 million in the three years prior.
Another good piece of news is that no one is required by law to have this insurance or pay a penalty. There were families with a household income of $60,000 or more who were required by law to spend over $30,000 on their health insurance premiums. That requirement is gone. Also, the federal government took in more than $3 billion in penalties, nearly all from lower-income people. That penalty is gone.
If you think about it, though, for most people it made much more sense to pay the penalty than pay the extremely high premiums. People are now free to purchase lower-cost policies that might not include coverage they don't need, such as pediatric dental care and maternity. So, if you have been covered by an Obamacare policy, it is prudent to shop among non-exchange policies to see if you can save a considerable amount of money and still receive coverage for your situation. If you were "grandfathered" into a policy before Obamacare took effect, BCBS will still offer that policy, so it is likely you should hang onto it since it probably provides more coverage — maybe not pediatric dental, but much lower deductibles and co-pays — for less money.
There are other interesting implications across the state. BCBS reported that the primary reason it could obtain the rate cut is that it was able to extract a large reimbursement cut from the University of North Carolina Health Alliance. Since Duke University Health System and WakeMed Health & Hospitals refused to accept the reimbursement cut, they will no longer be in-network providers for BCBS customers in the Triangle. Consequently, about 50,000 exchange customers in the 12 Triangle-county area will no longer be able to use their same doctors and hospitals, unless they are already in the midst of something like cancer treatment.
Both Duke and WakeMed report that they are trying to work on a solution, so we'll have to stay tuned for updates. They have more flexibility in making changes this year because the Trump Administration provided relief from some ACA provisions, so Duke and WakeMed can now look across state lines for insurance partners.
Across the country, the Kaiser Family Foundation is reporting that one-third of the states will see rate cuts and the rest of the states are likely to see rate increases below 10 percent. So, nationwide we seem to be settling in to the actual costs of this legislation, which are vastly larger than what the Obama administration experts predicted and assured us.
Surprisingly, I've read articles claiming that changes in the last two years have "gutted" (or worse) Obamacare. I think a 4.1 percent rate cut, without being forced legally to spend tens of thousands of dollars, plus the legal ability to purchase a lower-cost policy that covers what someone really needs, is a win-win-win for North Carolina and America.

Allegan, Mich. May 1, 2018—Big Cedar Lodge, America's premier wilderness resort located 10 miles south of Branson in Ridgedale, Missouri in the heart of the Ozark Mountains, is debuting an outdoor Sky Trail® Explorer ropes course early this summer. For those new to high ropes courses, the multi-level attraction stands over 40 ft. tall and contains over 60 different elements including activities such as a rolling log, swaying ladder, and narrow balancing beam. Every participant wears a safety harness that is inserted into the steel U.S. patented overhead tracking system to assure a safe adventure. Without ever unhooking their safety harness from the system, participants can grasp ropes and railings as they make their swaying way through the course for an unforgettable adventure.
The four-story Sky Trail® Explorer ropes course is located on the back of the Fun Mountain on 4,600 acres settled on Big Cedar Lodge. It includes two electronic Sky Rail™ zip lines that allow participants to zip over the attractions below. Participants can also try the ever-daring QUICKjump free fall from a platform at the top of the ropes course. This course joins the kid-sized Sky Tykes® course that was built last year on the site and is specifically designed for smaller children ages 2-7 or under 48 inches tall.
Johnny Morris, founder and owner of Bass Pro Shops and Big Cedar Lodge, was prompted to add a high ropes course to his expansive wilderness resort after seeing a similar attraction featured at other destinations. He recognized the appeal of providing an interactive, family-friendly activity that was in alignment with his conservationist philosophy for recreation.
The luxury resort—complete with Top of the Rock and Dogwood Canyon Nature Park—has a full service marina, 1,800 square ft. spa, horseback riding, world-class fishing, golf, and trails suited for walking, biking, and hiking. The new Sky Trail® Explorer will be open to the public as well as guests of the lodge. It joins the roster of activities already available at the 50,000 sq. ft. Fun Mountain facility including underwater themed bowling, golf simulator, laser tag, kid's nature discovery center, billiards, bumper cars, flip zone, and climbing wall.
"We want Fun Mountain visitors to experience the beauty of the Ozarks in a whole new way that is unlike anything else in the region," explained Morris. "With live alligators and pythons living beneath this four-story wonder, it's sure to elevate the challenge and thrill of the ropes course, while being perfectly safe," he assured.
The new Big Cedar Lodge Sky Trail® Explorer was built by Michigan-based Ropes Courses, Inc. (RCI) and is one of more than 500 adventure products they have built around the U.S., the world, and even on cruise ships.
"We have had the privilege of building our attractions in many beautiful places around the world, but this spectacular setting in the midst of the Ozarks has been one of our most visually stunning locations," explained Jim Liggett, founder and owner of RCI. "We love projects that allow us to integrate with a beautiful natural environment—we hope it makes the experience that much more appealing for visitors and guests," he added.
Cost is $25 per person plus $5 to add on the QUICKjump free fall from the top of the course.
"This premier attraction is an inspiring way to connect people to the great outdoors," assured Janet Glaser, public relations manager for Big Cedar Lodge. "It is going to be a one-of-a-kind experience that will deliver a challenging adventure to individuals and a meaningful team building experience for groups. We're confident this attraction will be enjoyed by both leisure guests and corporate group travelers."

Allegan, Mich. (February 28, 2018) — When the Carnival Horizon ship sets off on its maiden voyage April 2, 2018 on a 13-day Mediterranean cruise, it will be offering more than 3,900 passengers a chance to navigate the third high ropes course available on a Carnival cruise ship—the Sky Trail® Expedition course, designed and constructed by Ropes Courses, Inc. (RCI). The single-level structure has 24 different elements that follow two different paths. The circular design, supported by 12 different poles, creates two linear paths that assure a smooth flow for participants as they take on each new challenge. Two of Carnival's sister ships, Breeze and Magic, have been featuring Sky Trail® Expedition courses for the past several years.
The aerial ropes course will be located on Deck 14 and poised 150 feet above the sea. Passengers are fitted into a safety harness and can opt for the beginner or intermediate route. Obstacles include rope bridges, swinging steps, and narrow beams. The unique construction and layout of the Sky Trail® Expedition accommodates Carnival's high capacity needs by allowing for hundreds of guests to traverse the course per hour. Adults, and children taller than 48 inches, can test their skills and balance and progress from the beginner to intermediate route as their confidence and skills improve.
"Carnival Cruise Line is known for its thrilling open-air attractions and the ropes course on Carnival Horizon promises to be a spectacular attraction on our newest ship," enthused Dominic Chancellor, manager of Outer Decks Experience for Carnival Cruise Line. "Guests can enjoy the thrill of traversing suspended ropes while taking in the breathtaking views to the sea below. We can't wait for our guests to check it out."
"Designing another Sky Trail® course for a Carnival cruise ship was an exciting opportunity for us," explained Jim Liggett, founder and owner of RCI. "Working with a smaller amount of space than we typically use for our many land-based structures and still managing to add so much variety and challenge, made this a really fun and rewarding installation. We realize that deck space on these vessels is at a premium and we were honored to be welcomed back," he added.

Life has been awfully slow the past few days. Sarah left a few days ago, which leaves me without my closest friend in Romania, and as a result, things are less fun. In addition, the German team left at 4:30 this morning, and we stayed up all night before they left to send them off. I've been exhausted all day. I've been trying without success to put together some screenplays for the fall, but I find myself completely lacking creativity. I seem to be in a slump. I may ask for advice on such a topic in a later post.
On the other hand, we had an awesome lunch today (it was deep-fried... uh... meat, and something like french fries. It was unbelieveably good), plans to make a face-meltingly cool documentary are underway, and it looks like Chris, JA, and I can all get our own rooms by Thursday. So things are looking up. Plus, God's been teaching me cool things about faith and persistence through my exhaustion, so I've got nothing to complain about on that front.
I promised that I'd write more stories from Budapest and Oradea, and I meant it this time. Consistent readers would point out that I rarely keep my e-promises, but here's one more, just like I said. I've got another one partially finished, and that may surface soon, as well:
A Tax On Americans
I discovered in Budapest that Hungarians - or at least, Budapestians - don't really seem to like Americans. They put up with us, for sure, since they provide a steady stream of cash, but the sense seems to be that they'd really like for all of us to clear out and leave 'em in peace.
A clear example of this is the following tale. JA and I decided to take the subway across Budapest to visit Margarite Island, said to be a popular hang-out spot for Budapestites. So we wandered down to the subway station and looked around to see where we could find tickets. All the directions were written in Hungarian, but a helpful local Budapestonian pointed us to a small queue on the opposite wall of the station where tickets could be purchased. Thanking her, we sauntered over and JA purchased the tickets for us (I figured JA would be a good translator for me, since he used to speak fluent Hungarian, even though he's forgotten most of it. To my surprise, he didn't even attempt it, though, and instead communicated by speaking English in a Romanian accent to whatever Budapester we happened to be talking to, which probably didn't help matters any).
Having purchased our tickets, we followed the flocking queue of people, most of whom had not purchased any sort of ticket, down the nearby escalator, where we were accosted by subway employees specially trained to spot Americans. The head lady asked for our tickets, which we blithely handed over, not suspecting a trap. She took our tickets, put them in her pocket, and fined us each 2000 forint (about $10 apiece). It turned out that on the wall next to the escalator was a ticket punching machine into which we were to insert our ticket. We hadn't noticed the machine, since no Budapestalongs were using it, which assumable was part of the trap. We asked if we could go back up the escalator and punch our tickets now, since we simply weren't aware of the rule. Nothing doing. We tried to leave, since we figured that since we hadn't actually ridden the subway yet, there was no reason we should be paying the fine. They pulled out a cell phone and began to call the police. Since paying ten bucks in better than explaining ourselves in Hungarian prison, we paid up.
The helpful subway workers explained to us that the directions for punching the ticket were written in English and German at the top of the escalator (We checked. They weren't, of course), and written on the back of our tickets (ditto). They might have said more to us, but by then they had spotted a pack of Irish tourists, and were already excitedly explaining to them that each of them that they had better pay up pronto for their insultingly blatant disregard of subway rules. We tried to talk to the tourists to explain to them what the problem was, but we were informed that we had no legal right to be talking to anyone here, in the lobby of a subway, and wouldn't it be better if we left right now. And so we left.
Budapest is a truly beautiful city, a historical city, a well-maintained city, and everyone should see it eventually. But that story is just one example of the sort of treatment we got there. I don't know how many Budapestealites we met who interacted with us with the same charm and warmth you would an escaped convict who knocked up your teenage daughter. I was thrilled to leave.

Eyes can't stop crossing. He said it was due to Mom's drinking. Said you came out wrong. You never had a chance to ask her. Now you're on your way to her. Boy at your side. Past the big red barn. Where it once stood tall. You tell him about how the sun set against it. About shooting hoops and shoveling snow. You don't tell him about the noise in Dad's throat. Or how you made it quit. The barn is gone is what you say. Then point to empty space. You pick the pace up. She sits just beyond the bridge. Five years to the day. Since before boy was born. The bridge covers the river. You used to lie by the shore. Broken glass all around. River sounds rushing in. Skin stuck to rocks. Boy spits over the edge. Stops to watch it drop. You imagine tossing boy off. Wonder how he would spread. You grab boy by his hand. Watch your step you tell boy. You sink in to her side. A slick mud uphill. Just a few steps left. She and boy have never met. And she is right where you left her. Cuts the same slim shape. Color sucked out. A few more cracks in the face. You're about out of breath. But now still as can be. Till boy bends down. He pulls his hand free. He brushes dirt from her name. He lies across the flat stone.

Last month I was browsing Google looking for a tutorial about putting together a flower brooch. I didn't find any pattern that I wanted to use, but I got plenty of ideas. So I put them all together and made a flower brooch that I was satisfied with. Now I want to share with you all how I did it!
You will need:
- Your crocheted or knitted flower
- A matching felt circle a little smaller than the flower
- Extra matching felt
- Matching embroidery thread
- A needle
- Scissors
- Clips (I found that large clips work best because they support the flower. Just about any craft store will carry them.)
- Glue Gun (You may need an extra glue stick)
Plug in your glue gun. While it is heating up, cut out two rectangles to glue onto the inside bottom portion of the clips.
Once you have glued the felt on, you can trim it to fit the clips.
Take your circle of felt and apply hot glue to it. (Leave a ring around the outside edge so you can sew the felt on.)
Put the felt on the back of the flower.
Then thread your needle with three strands of embroidery thread, and coming in from between the flower and felt (so your knot does not show,) start sewing.
After you have sewn the felt to the flower, you can take the clips and glue them onto the back. I found that if you put the clips closer to the outside edge they keep the flower from falling forward when you wear it.
Six uses for flower brooches:
~ Clip it on a scarf
~ Instead of putting clips on, put magnets on and put it on your refrigerator to add some fresh color.
~ Clip onto your purse or bag.
~ If it is not too big use it in your hair.
~ Clip onto baskets (I put this flower on my white basket that I use for schoolwork, and it adds the perfect pink color!)
~ If you are brave enough, put it on your dog's collar. It would look really cute, even if it is on just long enough to get a snapshot! I didn't do it because our dog is boy, and he would probably eat it.
I hope you enjoyed making this brooch, and have fun with it!
Thank you for visiting A Homespun Country Life!

Client: Arete
Scale: 1,292sqm
Completion: Unbuilt
A design proposal for the new Uber "Green Light Hub" in West End, Brisbane, utilising an extremely limited budget to maximum effect by concentrating the design effort around the public entry point, while the remainder of the spaces were to be ultra-basic, stripped back and raw.
The new reception point occupied an existing double-height space at the front centre of the building footprint and was treated as a single timber mass form where the arrival counter was integrated into the stair access to the upper staff level, and an accessible staff lift was edged with a lush planted timber screen. All other finishes were to be simple raw concrete with basic painted walls and economical loose furniture.
