Recipe: Beets and Asparagus Balsamica
With the change in the weather, it feels like all that has been dormant all Winter is ready to MOVE. If we don't make a conscious effort to keep our energy flowing, the resulting stagnation manifests in the form of familiar "friends." Mr. Binge decides it's time for a visit. Ms. Blackberry just won't shut up. And the line-up of dysfunctional behaviours and destructive thoughts all take a number.
As any daffodil will tell you, one of the most vital ways to keep our emotional energy vibrant, healthy, and flowing is creativity. We all have that creative seed or force within us, so it's really a question of how (or IF, in some cases) we choose to channel it. When I did a creative energy inventory recently after realizing I'd been investing energy in an area of my life that was not serving me, I discovered that all of my creative outlets were attached to some form of result. Everything that I used as a creative outlet also was a form of productivity or measurement of output and accomplishment. And while some might consider that an extremely "efficient" expenditure of creative energy, I was missing something: Creativity for creativity's sake, aka JOY.
Don't get me wrong. I get joy out of cooking and writing and acts of service. But when we remove the outcome from a creative act, then something amazing happens. We come into direct synchronization with the moment. We ARE the flow. We become the channel of divine creative energy, completely free from attachments or expectations. Some people have this experience through playing music. Or painting. Or, in my case, DANCING! Do you see the difference between creativity and creative free flow? So what's your joy ride? Whatever it is, it's time to re-connect with it, become one with it once again.
It's spring! And, who doesn't like to gnaw on a nice long stalk of asparagus, fresh out of the garden? Okay, likely most of us (I do actually…), but if I asked the question "who doesn't like to devour beets and asparagus with pine nuts in a balsamic reduction?" maybe I'd get a different answer. This recipe is simple, and can be prepared quickly if the beets have been cooked in advance. I boil my beets with the skins on. Once they can be pierced easily with a fork, let them cool and the skins will slide right off!
Beets and Asparagus Balsamica
3 medium sized beets, cooked
~10 asparagus stalks, cooked with starchy ends removed (steamed or roasted)
1 cup cheap balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup pine nuts (toasted lightly in a skillet)
drizzle of good quality olive oil
1. In small sauce pan, bring balsamic to a gentle boil. Let simmer for 20 or so minutes until it begins to boil down and thicken.
2. Cut asparagus and beets into bite-sized pieces. Assemble on plate. Sprinkle with pine nuts, and then drizzle with the reduction and olive oil. Done!

While dealing with the loss of someone you care about, finding ways to keep their memory alive might help immensely in the healing process. Deciding on the best memorial and funeral gifts to share with other people who are grieving is a kindness that may long be remembered. Here are a few ideas for ways to commemorate your loved ones, friend or someone else with unique funeral gifts.
Funeral And Memorial Gifts:
1. Personalized printed mementos: Funeral announcement cards, memorial service cards, plea cards, thank you cards and bookmarks can be very easily customized with your adored person's memory. Making the effort to produce uniquely personal printed mementos of a funeral service provides family and friends a good tip of the deceased. Printed with a particular image and relevant Bible verses, poetry or quotations, these keepsakes will see their way into the books, Bibles and memory boxes of those who share your suffering. There are even cards available now which contain flower seed to be planted in memory of the one who has died. Using some of the best web templates obtainable from funeral printing solutions makes this kind of process especially simple affordable.
2. Decorative funeral service keepsakes: Another popular method to keep the memory of a loved one alive has been candle lights, crosses, wall plaques as well as other ornamental arts to be displayed in the house. Memorial backyard paving rocks are also innovative reminders after a death. Again, these can now be purchased printed with scripture, images or other engravings. Consider purchasing a copy of these when you buy a funeral gift online for friends and family.
3. Cremation containers: Commonly known as "urns," the storage boxes designed to contain the cremated remains to be of your loved one come in many designs. Beautifully embellished boxes and urns can be found in a multitude of materials and may be personalized to be unique memorials to someone who has passed on.
4. Scrapbooks: Collecting images, clippings, and souvenirs to put in a scrapbook is a lovely way to pay tribute, someone, you care about. The recognition of scrapbooks has generated an array of albums, web templates as well as graphics that will help to customize a funeral scrapbook to make the best funeral gifts. You could also consider journals or blank books as funeral gifts. Once again, the ability to customize these with a picture or text message special to the departed makes such a gift the best one to create.
5. Memorial jewelry: Jewelry items commemorating your beloved make beautiful many thanks gifts for all those who have been helpful throughout your loss. Teardrops and other unique symbols could be discreetly etched to remind the wearer of the one that has passed away.
Memorial and funeral gifts truly help with keeping cherished remembrances alive. With idea and planning, the mementos you decide on to memorialize your loss will bless the lives of the recipients. What better way, in the end, to celebrate the life of somebody you have loved. Use the internet and check out all the fantastic arrangements and sympathy gift baskets obtainable. You will be able to find an ideal gift for the family members and the best arrangement for the funeral. If you are making plans for the burial, you will find all the flowers you need for the funeral as honorable and relax as is possible. And even though you may not be in a position to make the best personally, all it requires is a couple of minutes to buy a funeral gift online showing you sympathy.

Leeds Corn Exchange: New Accessible Entrance Welcomes Visitors
Last week, we revealed the brand new entrance to Leeds Corn Exchange.
Accessibility has been a crucial focus for the building works, which have included designing visual elements, space for creative interventions and a refurbishment of the toilets.
Adam Warner, Centre Manager at Leeds Corn Exchange says: "The opening of the new accessible entrance at the front of Leeds Corn Exchange is a major moment for us. For the first time in its 170 year history, the building is fully accessible through the main entrance; something which the whole team behind the recent works programme can be immensely proud of. Old meets new as the sloping ramp blends in seamlessly with the old steps. Thanks to Leeds-based property developers Rushbond, the architects, Seven, the stonemasons, Bullen's, and Dobson Construction for their work in achieving this goal."
Work on the new ramp began in September; architects, stonemasons and contractors were tasked with creating an accessible, beautiful design that would integrate seamlessly with the historic location. Upon reaching the entranceway, visitors are welcomed into the space by our new contemporary light and sound installation, which uses gathered field recordings and combines them with a palette of animated light and colour.
A home for creativity and innovation, Leeds Corn Exchange is a building that welcomes, and can now be accessed, by all.

The ideal way is to measure your waist through your belt loops. This measurement is the size of belt you should purchase (i.e. if you have a 34" measurement, order a 34" belt).
An alternative option is to measure your old belt from the Buckle Fold to the Hole you use. If your belt measures 38" from buckle fold to the hole you use most; then order a 38" belt. This will give you a belt with 2 holes either side of the hole you use most.

Franchi's Five
Jul 2018 By Eric Franchi
Entrepreneur, investor, and former 212NYC Board member Eric Franchi curates and comments on interesting reads from the world of marketing and media in his a weekly newsletter The IO.
From his most recent observations, here are five of our favorites:
1. The Future of Digital Marketing in a Data-Privacy World (Lara O'Reilly/WSJ). A smart piece about the effects of GDPR. Direct customer relationships have always been important but in 2018 they mean everything. "If we think about this just as regulatory compliance, we miss the opportunity it creates," (SAP's Mika) Yamamoto says. "If we figure out how the customer wants to connect with us, we have a greater opportunity to connect with them and inspire them.

"You think too much, Elisabeth," he said. "Don't think. Feel."
[S. Jae-Jones "Wintersong"]
I think too much as well. Even in Venezia. A Nordic kind of trait that one, I suppose. It is ingrained in us over here from the get go. However this time I am ready to feel. Let go and feel completely. Will I succeed? How will that impact my photographs? I do not know, but I am most curious to find out…

Deal availability may change without notice! Prices may vary from store to store. Due to international copyright, availability and pricing may vary outside of the US.
A magical, provocative tale of forbidden love and one girl's struggle for liberation
Hanna has never been outside her secluded community of Clearhaven. She has never questioned why her father has four wives or why she has fourteen brothers and sisters. And in only one week, on her eighteenth birthday, Hanna will follow tradition and become the fifth wife of a man more than twice her age.
But just days before the wedding, Hanna meets an enigmatic stranger who challenges her to question her fate and to follow her own will. And when her mother reveals a secret—one that could grant her the freedom she's known only in her dreams—Hanna is forced to decide whether she was really meant for something greater than the claustrophobic world of Clearhaven. But can she abandon her beloved younger sister and the only home she's ever known? Or is there another option—one too fantastical to believe?
With lush, evocative prose, award-winning author Christopher Meades takes readers on an emotional journey into a fascinating, unknown world—and, along the way, brilliantly illuminates complexities of faith, identity and how our origins shape who we are.

Fall is my favorite season, and recently I've been very inspired by all the play ideas on Pinterest that center around the joys of this season. Bringing a few new objects into your little one's open-ended play dough time could really spice things up! Think about adding googly eyes to the ZDough for a spooky monster-making activity or try cutting simple shapes out of foam sheets to make ZDough jack-o-lanterns! All the cutting, picking up, and placing will strengthen those little fingers and is sure to bring a smile to their faces (and yours!)

When you will tell the contractors about your preferences, they will suggest a fence as per your liking only. Options and selection – There are many types of fences that are available in the market. You can choose any of the types. Generally, many dwellers select these two kinds of fences – a) Timber fence, b) Colorbond fence. The timber fence is preferred by many people for a very long time. But, Colorbond fence is mostly chosen by people over the years. When you will choose a reputed fencing supplies Perth, you can get the best product.It is quite easy to install a timber fence.

Use a small amount of paint on the wood at first and see that whether it is looking good on the timber fence or not.

Not all sugar and spice Posted by Tim Hildreth on Jun 5, 2018 in Culture, Grammar, Literature, Vocabulary
Last week we read an old story designed to remind les jeunes garçons sages (good little boys) how to behave. As promised at the end of that last post, this week, we look at a similar reminder for les gentilles filles (good girls).
La Mouche
|«Qu'as-tu donc à t'impatienter ainsi, Mélanie?
|"What has you so impatient then, Melanie?
|—Maman, je cherche à attraper une mouche qui m'importune, afin de la tuer.»
|I'm trying to catch a fly, Mother, that is bothering me, so that I can kill it."
|Le lendemain, la maman était fort occupée* à écrire une lettre, et Mélanie se dérangeait à chaque instant
|The next day, the mother was very busy/preoccupied writing a letter, and Melanie went out of her way continuously
|pour lui demander une chose ou une autre, et souvent aussi pour le seul plaisir de parler.
|to ask her about this and that, often simply for the pleasure of hearing herself talk.
|«Il me semble, ma fille, que tu fais absolument comme la mouche d'hier;
|"It seems to me, my girl/daughter, that you are acting just like that fly yesterday;
|seulement, la mouche est une petite bête sans raison; et toi, tu es une enfant intelligente.»
|except the fly is a stupid creature, and you, you are an intelligent child."
|Mélanie baissa la tête avec confusion; elle retourna à sa place et ne dérangea plus sa mère.
|Embarrassed, Melanie lowered her head; she returned to her own place and bothered her mother no more.
* Listen to how the t at the end of fort 'runs into' occupée. View this post to refresh your understanding of when to make this elision.
Notice how this week's story makes use of l'imparfait (vs. last week's passé simple) to convey the on-going nature of the little girl's behavior.
Here's some useful vocabulary from this week's story.
|la mouche
|house fly
|le lendemain
|the next day
|to write
|to ask
|la chose
|la fille
|young girl, daughter

Salut Tim, j'aime beaucoup the hidden text format and the sound option. It helps me to pick up new words and correct pronunciations. I've been trying to learn french on my own for many years (too many to count!) using mainly Michel Thomas CDs.
The length of this post is just nice for me. 10 minutes to go through and do a bit of practice without losing focus.
Merci, Connie.

The Man on The Blue Moped-Rated R
By Anna Bella
"I looked for someone to help me and I was surprised when I saw myself. I saw a man on a blue moped, and I saw freedom."
The man in the photo you see is Reuben Cross. I met him a few days ago. Mr. Reuben is a man of an arrogant yet remarkable character. He has held a deep bitterness in his heart for what happened to his mother and father in the distant past. They were brutally murdered by the Santos mafia (aka the Santos brothers). In order for you to understand why, I would have to explain what he told me.
His mother and father were kidnapped after the couple tried to report the Santos brothers to the local police for the criminal activity they had witnessed. They suspected that the brothers were involved with illegal drugs and illegal distribution of firearms. Little did they know that this particular mafia was very close with the local police and the Cross couple's actions ultimately backfired. They didn't even know the Santos brothers were mafia. All they knew is they wanted to make sure that their community was safe for everyone in it. But maybe it's safer to mind your own business. One night the Santos brothers sent a patrol car to the Cross' house under the pretense that the police department had an important update on the case. Instead, the crooked cops handcuffed the couple and gave them over to the Santos brothers.
The brothers took the Cross couple to their huge factory with barbed wires and made them test subjects for the drugs that they were experimenting with. In other words, the Cross couple became drug addicts. They weren't the only ones as the Santos brothers were also involved in a huge amount of human trafficking. The Cross couple was in this captivity I could say for 4 years. Mrs. Cross ended up pregnant and despite her condition little Reuben was born perfectly fine. Reuben was a complete miracle.
Even through their mental inhibitions, Mr. and Mrs. Cross knew that they had to get their child out of the environment they were in and get Reuben to freedom. They tried their best to keep Reuben hidden away from the immediate sight of the Santos brothers and their cohorts. The brothers were so busy messing around with the new women they captured every week to pay little Reuben any mind.
The couple waited until Reuben was 8 years old and planned an escape route for their young child to go on. They took an old raggedy white shirt and made huge holes from both of their skin using some old drug needles. They took the needles and soaked them in the holes to write a message that the person that found their son could read. They had no access to pen and paper. They also hoped that their son would be able to know who he was through blood testing at some point in their life.
The message that was written with their impaired minds:
"Dis Reuben Cross from Fred + Irene Cross Take care of our son pls. We r captive"
They prepped their son with sweet parting words. They decided they were going to throw him over the fence. Reuben's parents told him to call out for someone to help him once he was over the fence. The factory was next to a relatively active highway. They took their two old pillows and bore a hole for their son's head to fit through. They put it over his head and over his body and then squeezed their pillows into the remaining space on each side of him. One to protect his back and one to protect his stomach. They instructed their son to tuck his head in and embrace his knees securely. Mr. Cross made his wife climb up on his shoulders while holding his son and she threw their son over the fence. They weren't sure if he would get picked up by the crooked cops of the town but they wanted to give their son a chance to have freedom and it was worth the shot.
The Santos brothers appeared suddenly coming after the Cross' couple and as little Reuben fell over the fence he saw the worse sight in his short life in that moment. He saw his parents killed at point blank. A bullet barely got him as he struggled to run after he hit the ground. He shouted to his parents "Thank y-o-o-o-o-u-u-u, I lov-v-ve you guys." As he vocalized the words it's almost like his mournful voice was in slow motion. He ran and ran and as he took one last look he saw his mother and father killed, and held back tears. He ran and he ran.
I asked Mr. Reuben who took him in after he escaped the factory. He told me "I looked for someone to help me and I was surprised when I saw myself. I saw a man on a blue moped, and I saw freedom."

Sergei Prokofiev - "Cinderella Suite - Opus 87"
Soviet composer, pianist and conductor Sergei Prokofiev was the creator of acknowledged masterpieces across numerous musical genres. He is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century. His works include such widely heard works as the March from The Love for Three Oranges, the suite Lieutenant Kijé, the ballet Romeo and Juliet – from which "Dance of the Knights" is taken – and Peter and the Wolf. Of the established forms and genres in which he worked, he created – excluding juvenilia – seven completed operas, seven symphonies, eight ballets, five piano concertos, two violin concertos, a cello concerto, a Symphony-Concerto for cello and orchestra, and nine completed piano sonatas.
Today Prokofiev may well be the most popular composer of 20th-century music. His orchestral music alone is played more frequently in the United States than that of any other composer of the last hundred years save Richard Strauss, while his operas, ballets, chamber works, and piano music appear regularly throughout major concert halls worldwide.
The composer was honoured in his native Donetsk Oblast when the Donetsk International Airport was renamed "Donetsk Sergey Prokofiev International Airport" and the Donetsk Musical and Pedagogical Institute was renamed the "S.S. Prokofiev State Music Academy of Donetsk" in 1988.
So today, with grace and beauty, I choose Sergei Prokofiev's "Cinderella Suite - Opus 87" as my, let the magic find you, little lazy moments, like drowsy daisies, song for a, with small miracles in your pocket, sing the spring, find each little happiness where it lays, Monday.

Devil's Head Fire Lookout
28 April
Devil's Head Fire Lookout
Trailhead: Devil's Head Fire Lookout
Distance: 2.8 miles (moderate)
Another weekend, another sunrise adventure. Originally I wanted to go to the desert this weekend. But a combination of draft weekend, Avengers being released, and sketchy brakes meant that I postponed that trip and instead joined Mountain Chicks on a sunrise hike! After my sunrise hike a couple of weeks ago, I have been dreaming about getting back into the mountains in the early morning. Mountain Chicks gracefully provided me that opportunity and I was excited about it, despite the painful process of waking up at 2:15 am (especially because I was anxious enough that I woke up before 2...).
I met up with Claire and Rachel to begin the drive. Somehow, I ended up with the title of "navigator" (that was largely due to the fact that I was sitting shot gun and Rachel was trying to read her directions off a piece of paper in the pitch black...) and was a little nervous when the road turned to dirt and got incredibly steep. We made it in one piece and I immediately recognized Renee in the parking lot from my last hike with Mountain Chicks.
There were a total of 6 of us at the trailhead (which meant Rachel won the bet we had placed on the ride over), and we got going right around 4:45. The trail is so short - just over a mile each way - but it packs a wallup with about 900 feet of elevation gain in that mile, and a set of stairs to climb at the top! Thankfully, the trail offered great views of the horizon every now and again and I could stop to pictures of the early morning glow and take a breather. When we made it to the stairs, it became a mental game. It's hard to explain how they're both sketchy and not sketchy, high up but close to the rocks. My legs started to get wobbly on the second to last flight, and Rachel was powering through her fear of heights to reach the top.
When we made it, we all camped out on the rocks next to the lookout. There weren't many people up there (and a couple of them headed back down before the sun was even up!), so we laughed and joked and Mikaela howled with her pup.
Eventually we had to head back down. While it took us almost an hour to get to the top, it took just about 30 minutes to get back down. We were in the car at 6:56 am (which still kind of blows my mind - that I had already been up for 5 hours and completed a hike before 7 am...). All in all, it was a beautiful start to a perfect Colorado spring day! Plus, I was able to FaceTime my little sister before her Senior Prom and get marathon updates while by brother ran!

I had the pleasure of hearing American patriot Tom Lacovara-Stewart interview former Army War College Director of Studies Dr. Alan Sabrosky last night on RBN (Republic Broadcast Network) radio. Their call for the patriots to rise up and fight back coincides with numerous patriot groups working diligently, although separately, to restore the American Republic.
Full 2 hour broadcast:
Resurrect the Republic-RTR Truth Media Group Reloaded with Tom Lacovara, and Lorri Anderson, March 1, 2018 Hour 1
Resurrect the Republic-RTR Truth Media Group Reloaded with Tom Lacovara, and Lorri Anderson, March 1, 2018 Hour 2
We have the opportunity to change the narrative and force the main stream media into bankruptcy and out of existence. It's time for all Americans to turn off their television sets, which are nothing but propaganda vehicles to deceive and distract us from the issues, and fight back, because this is it. We only have President Trump for a short time, and we have already squandered a year of our valuable time. We're already slaves on the land our founders fought and died for.

Supporting Buncombe, Madison, & McDowell Counties in Preventing Diabetes
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease that affects the body's ability to produce or use insulin. When the body turns food into energy (also called sugar or glucose), it releases insulin to help take this energy into the cells. But, with Diabetes, this glucose stays in the blood stream and cells don't get the energy they need. As glucose builds up in the blood, it may also harm the heart, kidneys, nerves and eyes over time.
There are Several Types of Diabetes:
Before people develop Type 2 Diabetes, they almost always have Prediabetes or Borderline Diabetes. This means that their blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as Diabetes.
Not everyone with Prediabetes will develop Type 2 Diabetes, and people can lower their risk.
Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes is the most common form of Diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes can be caused by several things. Some people with Type 2 can control their blood glucose by healthy eating and being active.
They may also need to take oral medications or insulin to keep their blood glucose level in a safe range.
Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and was previously known as Juvenile Diabetes. With Type 1 Diabetes, the body does not produce insulin.
With the help of insulin therapy and other treatments, even young children can learn to manage their condition and live long, healthy lives.
About ACT Now!
ACT Now! is a community campaign available in both English and Spanish to raise awareness about Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes. ACT Now! is also providing connections, supports and education about prevention in Buncombe, Madison and McDowell counties.
ACT Now! is working to reduce the number of people with Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes by supporting communities to build systems that help people before they get sick and by supporting at-risk individuals to make lifestyle choices that improve their health and quality of life.

Singer-songwriter Lily Meola may not be a household name — yet — but the fact that she has already toured and performed with Willie Nelson, and also sung with Kris Kristofferson and Jamey Johnson is impressive. Even more so when you consider that Meola is just 20 years old.
Willie Nelson, Neil Young, Kacey Musgraves, Imagine Dragons and more acts who lit up Chicago for the event's 30th anniversary The Hawaiian-born Meola, who is currently wrapping up work on her debut album, has appeared onstage at the past three Farm Aid concerts, and in 2013 was among the female artists to share vocals with Nelson on his To All the Girls… duets LP. Nelson's wife, Annie, was responsible for bringing the young singer to her husband's attention, taking him to one of her weekly gigs at Café des Amis in Paia, Maui, where the iconic songwriter sat in with her on his classic Patsy Cline hit "Crazy." Meola's brother, pro surfer Matt Meola, was in a home-schooling program with Nelson's sons, Lukas and Micah, which led to friendship between the two families.
"Willie and his whole family have just been incredible," she says in a statement. "I can't even believe how much they've taken me under their wing and helped me out and inspired me." -FROM ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE

A native of Windsor, Ontario, Ted McGeen grew up in a place known for hockey. Home to the Windsor Spitfires of the OHL, young hockey players with big aspirations plan on going the CHL route. But McGeen went a different route, one that has landed him in Canton, New York playing college hockey.
Like most Canadians, McGeen started playing early on, and went through the normal leagues and levels of a rising elite hockey player. However, as the years progressed, McGeen realized his route wouldn't be traditional for Windsor.
"I realized pretty early on that I wasn't a typical OHL prospect, being a late bloomer, I was kind of small, and I had a late birthday in my draft year. Around 12 or 13, I got a bit more exposed to the college hockey route, maybe went to a few Michigan and Ferris State games. Not a ton, but I loved the atmosphere."
After a year with Chatham in GOJHL, McGeen focused all his attention on playing college hockey. He decided to head west to the BCHL and the Powell River Kings, despite not being committed to the roster. After 24 games and five points, McGeen returned to Chatham.
"It's a big thing to go out there without being committed, and I was pretty buried out there, as a 19-year-old and uncommitted, so I decided to come back to Chatham and then tried to figure out where to go as a 20-year-old."
He ultimately played for the Wellington Dukes of the OJHL, a team that made a surprise run to the championship with McGeen contributing 56 points in 46 games, and a further 18 points in 25 playoff games.
"Things kind of fell in place with Wellington. It ended up being an awesome situation, right from the get-go we were a skilled team, and we just kept getting better and better. It was kind of a Cinderella story. We weren't a front runner, I don't think, entering the playoffs, but we put together a great run."
Now a freshman at St. Lawrence, McGeen is taking advantage of everything SLU has to offer off the ice, in addition to playing hockey.
"I'm majoring in bio and chemistry, on a pre-med track, so the one-on-one time with professors, the ability to really get to know them, is an awesome advantage we have here at St. Lawrence. The class sizes, the Alumni Association, all of that made St. Lawrence really attractive to me, in addition to being able to play Division I hockey."
McGeen has excelled in the classroom, and while SLU is the midst of difficult season, McGeen has seven points on one goal and six assists. His assist total is tied for third-best on the Saints.
His first career goal came at home against Clarkson, a game the Saints won 4-2, which he says made the moment even more special.
"I think if, at the beginning of the year, I could have picked a game to score my first goal in, it would have been Clarkson," said McGeen. "I did get pretty lucky on that goal though. There was a Clarkson player moving across the goalie in front, and the puck hit him so, a bit lucky, but it still felt good."
McGeen will tell you he prides himself on being a 200-foot player in addition to being a scorer, and while the opportunity to kill penalties hasn't presented itself to him yet, he is certainly familiar with playing short-handed. In fact, he is the GOJHL record holder for most career shorthanded goals, a feat which he attributes to luck and his teammates mostly.
"It came out of nowhere. I didn't know it was happening until I tied the record. I think a fan, or maybe someone on the team, just said 'hey you just tied the league record for shorthanded goals.' I think it's a lot of luck, but it was fun, and I definitely enjoy killing penalties. I take a lot of pride in it, and it's not a part of my college game yet, but I hope I can become a player who's relied on to kill penalties."
"For now, I'm just trying to get my bearings."
The Saints sit last in the ECAC with ten games left in the regular season, and while they aren't eliminated from home ice, and the ECAC is far from decided, McGeen and the Saints are just focused on their own game.
"If we pull together as a team the way we know we can, the way we did against Clarkson, the way we did in Minnesota, we can surprise some people. We don't know who our opponent will be, and frankly, we don't care, we'll just be ready to go."

Gurgaon: Queues short on the last day to deposit old notes
Despite being the last day to deposit the banned ₹1,000 and ₹500 currency notes, queues outside banks in Gurgaon were shorter, and majority of people lined up to withdraw cash on Friday.gurgaon Updated: Dec 30, 2016 22:55 IST
Despite being the last day to deposit the banned ₹1,000 and ₹500 currency notes, queues outside banks in Gurgaon were shorter, and majority of people lined up to withdraw cash on
Banks across the city reported low volumes of old currency deposits.
At the Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC) branch in Sector 14, only a few customers came to deposit the banned currency notes and the total receipt at 4 pm was ₹1.8 lakh. "The number of people who came to deposit old notes was very less. It seems everyone has deposited all old notes they had," Satish Parnami, the branch manager, said.
The deposits of old notes were less across 45 OBC branches in Gurgaon on Friday, he said.
At other bank branches in sectors 22, 23, 14 and 31, a similar trend was seen with longer queues to withdraw cash.
Abiding by instructions of the RBI with regard to deposit of scrapped notes, bankers said they strictly refused to accept cash if a customer wanted to deposit money in their relatives' accounts without an authorisation letter. "My brother found ₹7,000 in his coat pocket in old ₹500 notes but I asked him to send someone with an authorisation letter or come himself to deposit the cash," a bank official said.
Bankers were more circumspect in dealing with scrapped currency. "I have asked the cashier to inform me if someone comes with a large amount in old notes," Parnami said.
An RBI circular on Friday directed banks to stop accepting the scrapped notes. The central bank has also sought details of deposits of demonetised currency at the close of business on Friday.
The central bank also made clear that after December 31, the scrapped notes cannot be treated as part of banks' cash balances.
With bankers taking a tough line, some customers who had larger amounts in old notes faced trouble. "I have ₹1 lakh in old notes but the bank is not allowing me to deposit it in my children's account," a Huda employee said.
Bankers said the currency situation in most banks has not improved even after passing the 50-day period fixed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "We have been receiving ₹4 to ₹5 lakh cash in the last 10 days and it is not enough to meet the demand for cash. The result is that we
are rationing cash," a bank official said.

What is the relationship between attention and lack of attention?: Saanen 1974 - Public Discussion 4
Unabridged Audiobook

Duration: 1 hours 40 minutes
'What is the relationship between attention and lack of attention? - 3 August 1974
We are educated to follow, accept and conform. This is tradition, second-hand.
When you become aware of conformity without reaction is that awareness the
act of intelligence?
Does the mind realize the nature of conformity, intelligence and awareness?
I am attentive for a minute and there is no border, no time, no 'me', no
problem. The whole energy is involved in that attention. This is a tremendous
Attending, I can do things without effort and thought.
The mind gets tired and moves to inattention. In that state of inattention
action goes on and must be conditioning.
There is attention the moment the mind is aware that it is inattentive.'

MA Theses
First Nations youth are one of the fastest growing demographics in Canada, yet they are more likely to experience adverse health and life circumstances than non-Indigenous Canadians. Developing and implementing appropriate interventions for mental health is a priority area in decreasing this health gap, and requires the incorporation of First Nation models of mental wellness. Mental Wellness for First Nations' youth is tied to interpersonal and cultural factors such as relationships with caregivers and the greater community, caregiver and/or community access to necessary resources, and cultural identities. Examining these wider sociocultural factors, in combination with youth characteristics and strengths, provides a more comprehensive understanding of how to address mental health needs in First Nation communities. Working in collaboration with a First Nation based community health provider, the Child and Adolescents Needs and Strengths (CANS) assessment was analyzed for 178 First Nation children to identify specific mental health intervention needs and explore predictors of mental health needs. The CANS is a reliable measure that assesses youth mental health needs, caregiver needs, individual strengths, environmental strengths, as well as many other factors. The most commonly reported mental health intervention needs were seen for Anxiety, Mood, Emotional Control, and Adjustment to Trauma. Hierarchical regression identified referents' age, sex, Functioning, Individual Strengths, and Family/Caregiver Needs and Strengths domain scores as predictive of mental health intervention needs. Age and Functioning domain scores were robust individual predictors of mental health needs across most models, yet sex was not individually predictive in any model.
Organizations offering mental health services are in need of innovative solutions to address a lack of accessibility and availability in service provision. Waitlists for counselling services are long, often forcing those experiencing mental health difficulties to rely on acute care services in the interim. One option, single-session counselling, allows consumers to access services when they need it, as often as they need it. This service model can be integrated into current services to contend with difficulties related to efficiency and accessibility. The current study evaluated a new single-session counselling program offered in an outpatient community mental health clinic in Northwestern Ontario. The majority of participants rated the service favourably, and experienced a decrease in mental health difficulties and associated impairment. Single-session counselling reduced difficulties associated with the presenting problem, and allowed access to services sooner. Continued implementation of this model of care is supported by the current findings. Dissemination of information describing the nature of single-session counselling, as well as outcomes of program evaluations such as the current study, may help to increase acceptance of its integration into ongoing mental health services.
First Nations children are overrepresented in the child welfare system in Canada (Blackstock, 2003). First Nations communities are seeking to improve current service delivery models and create alternative evidence-based strategies. A First Nations child welfare organization has identified priority areas related to reunification and parenting, identify successes and barriers to reunification, and examine service needs. These priorities were addressed with a community-based, participatory model, and guided by a community Research Advisory. Results were analyzed using a blend of grounded theory and thematic analysis techniques. Participants identified the need to place children with extended family or within home communities to facilitate best child outcomes. Improving parental and community capacity was recognized to promote positive reunifications. Successes identified within communities included available supports, such as those that increased empowerment and community capacity. Identified barriers within communities were the lack of culturally appropriate parenting services, hesitancy to obtain available support due to fears of child welfare intervention, and mental health difficulties of community members. Results of this study will be disseminated to communities and used to develop a culturally appropriate parenting program.
The use of alcohol and drugs is a significant issue faced by First Nations communities in Canada, which is accentuated by high rates of mortality and morbidity resulting from opioid use. The frequency of opioid-related emergency room visits and the higher prevalence of illicit prescription drug use disorders in First Nations populations suggest challenges. Methadone maintenance therapy programs are consistently found to be the most effective treatment for opioid dependence; however, due to financial, geographic, and cultural factors, Aboriginal individuals are less likely to initiate methadone maintenance therapy. Cree Nations Treatment Haven is the first on-reserve methadone maintenance therapy program in Canada and the present study aimed to evaluate this program from clients' perspectives. Results indicated that individuals in treatment with higher rated improvement showed greater engagement, life quality, psychological functioning, physical health, relationships with family and friends, and a more positive opinion of services and less motivation for treatment, psychological distress, problems with alcohol, criminality, employment and life difficulties, and overall risk. Individuals with a more positive opinion of services reported higher engagement and lower motivation. Finally, individuals in treatment reported a decrease in drug use, high-risk, and criminal behaviours, and improvements in housing, employment status, and family support, since admission to the program. Future evaluation would be beneficial to solidify the present findings and clarify the importance of culture in treatment effectiveness.
There is a high level of both heavy episodic drinking and related problems among Canadian undergraduates. Four personality traits and five motives for alcohol consumption place students at risk for experiencing increased levels of alcohol-related problems. Protective behavioural strategies represent a novel, harm reduction approach to ameliorating the negative consequences that individuals experience as a result of their drinking behaviour. In order to explore the relationships between personality traits, motives for drinking, protective behavioural strategies and alcohol-related problems, a 2-wave longitudinal study was conducted to examine two hypotheses: 1) Does PBS use at wave 1 moderate the relationship between personality traits at wave 1 and alcohol outcome at wave 2?, and 2) Does PBS use at wave 1 moderate the relationship between motives for alcohol use at wave 1 and alcohol outcome at wave 2? Results indicated that PBS do not moderate the relationship between any personality traits and problems, but do moderate the relationship between two motives for use (coping with anxiety and coping with depression) and alcohol-related problems, however, relationships did not emerge as predicted. For those who drink to cope with anxiety or depression, increased PBS usage was related to increased alcohol-related problems, demonstrating that PBS may not provide a protective effect at high levels of these drinking motives. Unique aspects of undergraduate lifestyle may impact the usefulness of PBS for this population, and more directive or intensive strategies to reduce related harms may be required.

Amateur Boxers raise money for James Bulger Memorial Trust
There is a huge amateur boxing charity night happening on Friday 26th February at Fusion Nightclub on Fleet Street, raising money for the James Bulger Memorial Trust and other charities.
For the last 6 weeks 30 beginner contestants from Liverpool both males and females have trained hard together in the art of boxing and will now be paired off with each other to battle it out in a 3 round boxing match using white collar boxing rules.
Each registered contestant is required by IWA Boxing to use their own unique experience of training and competing in a boxing match to raise money for a charity of their choice. This is done by setting up online just giving donation pages and promoting their journey through social media outlets. We have 11 boxing for James Bulger Memorial Trust as well as other charity.
Whoever raises the most money for their chosen charity will win a prestigious prize from IWA Boxing.
Anton Major, Joey Lyons, John Gibney, Jordan Johnson, Lauren Beamish, Lauren Worth, Lou Aldred and Philly Williams are the contestants taking part all raising money for James Bulger Memorial Trust and so far have raised an incredible £2900.
On fight night, Friday 26th February local Liverpool club Fusion will be set alight with an estimated 15 boxing contests taking place. Although each bout has a decision at the end, we truly believe there are no losers as every participant will have given it their all, improved fitness, met great friends, learnt new skills, gained more self confidence and raised money for a great cause whilst doing all of this.
Inof on how you can be there to support the cause is below.

Newport bring in Lennie Lawrence to assist Mike Flynn
- From the section Football
Newport County have brought in Lennie Lawrence to work with caretaker boss Mike Flynn.
The 69-year-old has been given the title 'First Team Management Consultant' at Rodney Parade.
Lawrence has managed over 1,000 league games in his career and he said he was delighted to join the Exiles.
"I have undertaken this type of role on several occasions and will be there for Michael to offer advice and guidance when needed," said Lawrence.
Lawrence will now link up with Flynn and assistant boss, Wayne Hatswell, until the end of the season as County look to avoid relegation from the Football League.
Since taking over after the sacking of Graham Westley, Flynn has had a reasonable start with two wins and a defeat, but the Exiles remain seven points from League Two safety ahead of tonight's game against Luton.
Flynn said he welcomed the arrival of Lawrence.
"I'm over the moon that Lennie's agreed to come on board," said Flynn.
A return to Wales
"I'm always learning and if I can't learn from someone who's managed over a 1,000 times in the Football League then I won't be able to learn from anyone.
"Not only will Lennie be important for my development, he'll also be helpful to the board as he brings with him a wealth of football knowledge."
Lawrence has managed a host of clubs down the years including Charlton, Middlesbrough and Cardiff City.
Most recently he returned to the Welsh capital to act as assistant manager to Paul Trollope during his ill-fated spell in charge of the Bluebirds.
Lawrence said he was looking forward to working with Flynn at Newport, adding: "I met Michael at the FAW UEFA Pro license course and when approached I was delighted to offer some support."

When you think of homegrown music these days, the idea of a well-packaged CD release doesn't immediately come to mind. In fact, the digital age has made the album artwork team obsolete and physical media is unsurprisingly an afterthought for many new generation artistes.
"Music packaging isn't really a priority now. In truth, it's come to a stage where people have forsaken physical formats, but there are pockets of music-loving artists and designers out there still wanting to be a part of the music scene. There's no reason to give up on album cover art and eye-catching designs, some people still like to own and hold something," says Zaid Omar, 45, the co-founder of graphic design studio Milk Design in Petaling Jaya.
Outside of corporate design projects and the studio's commercial portfolio, Zaid and Weishein, the other half of Milk Design, have steadily – or accidentally – built up a small collection of unique CD releases through the Payola Records imprint, which was established in 2014.
"We didn't plan on having a music label. We were more keen on album art and sleeve design. It was an outlet for us to cut loose and take our interest in music further down the road," says Weishein, 46.
Both Weishein and Zaid are also part of the electronica project called by a duo or group, which can be considered the in-house band at Milk Design. The duo has two albums to date.
"Things started when we designed a tour CD for Mystery Tapes, a local indie rock band. They needed something to sell during a Hong Kong tour in 2014. So we designed a handmade book/CD package," says Zaid.
The name Payola Records was coined back then, leaving Weishein and Zaid with the obvious decision to redirect all their music interests under this new imprint. Since 2014, Payola has either financed small-scale music projects, including creating album designs and sleeves, or collaborated with certain parties and distributed their products.
None of the Payola releases are presented in impersonal jewel cases. Instead, cardboard packaging – which won't necessarily break the bank – is the preferred option. There have been art cards, booklets, multiple fold-out designs, a limited edition cassette and even a floppy disc reimagined as album artwork.
"Payola is very much a labour of love, and we are still a very small set-up. It isn't about the volume of releases, it's more about the satisfaction of each individual work put out," says Weishein.
Right now, the choice format is the CD because of the affordable manufacturing cost. Cassettes will also be considered, but as for a potential vinyl release, Zaid admits it will all have to depend on the costs.
"If there is a collaboration project, say with a local label we like, I think we can keep the vinyl option open. But for now, we want to keep things affordable and unique, and the CD gets the job done."
But Zaid doesn't discount the idea of blister packs, elaborate CD/book packaging, wooden boxes and even some British designer Mark Farrow-inspired designs.
"Mark Farrow has done some unforgettable special collector's editions with Spiritualized. He's such an inspiration. But let's not forget music design heroes like Peter Saville, Vaughan Oliver and Stanley Donwood … the list is endless, the possibilities wide open," says Zaid.
On the actual label front, Weishein maintains that Payola will remain a weekend project. There might be pop-up stores and the occasional label gig, but expectations have to be managed.
"We don't really have the resources to be a full-time label. We can distribute and try to promote the best we can. That's why we have chosen to work with bands that understand where we are coming from. It's about the music, and also about keeping album artwork and design in the big picture," he says.
The Payola roster includes releases from Like Silver, Mystery Tapes, 8 Ears, by a duo or group, KVLTS, Rock 'N' Roll John. The music range is a diverse one, spanning indie, electronica and classic rock. Skits and Rock 'N' Roll John are the only two releases that do not have album art designed by the Payola duo.
Earlier this year, Payola reissued indie rock outfit Telebury's 2003 release Is There Us In You?, complete with bonus tracks and new album art. In 2016, Milk Design published the Butterfingers book Untuk Seketika Ku Hilang, which documented the band's classic Selamat Tinggal Dunia years.
A Payola Records band showcase is part Hard Graft Records' Record Store Day 2018 celebrations in Petaling Jaya on April 21, 2pm onwards. Free admission. FB: Hard Graft Records. The label will also be releasing a limited edition box set featuring seven of its releases for RSD. FB: Payola Records. Call: 012-3858 758.

The Nigeria Football Federation has named Akwa United coach Abdu Maikaba as coach of the Golden Eaglets.
Maikaba replaces Manu Garba, who helped Nigeria win the UAE 2013 FIFA Under-17 World Cup.
The NFF said on its official website on Sunday the coach, who led Akwa to the Aiteo Cup title last month, has Abubakar Bala, Bunmi Haruna and Baruwa Abideen as his assistants.
The NFF said the coaches were appointed by its Technical and Development Committee.
Nigeria have won the FIFA U-17 World Cup five times (1985, 1993, 2007, 2013 and 2015).
Meanwhile, Bala Nikyu, who was the coach of the national women's U-17 team before the NFF terminated his contract, has returned to the team.
Nikyu will be assisted by Toyin Ayinla, Peter Otache and Christian Obi.
According to the NFF, Nikyu will open camp next week to select players for the 2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup qualifying match against Ethiopia in December.
Nigeria will take on the Ethiopians in the first round of the African qualifying series. The 2018 edition of the competition will be hosted by Uruguay.
Nikyu, who spoke with our correspondent on the telephone on Sunday, said he was excited to return to the national team, adding that the immediate focus is on the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup qualifier against Ethiopia.
He said, "It is always an honour to be called to serve the nation. I appreciate the NFF, who have found me worthy of the job once again. The immediate target is to qualify for the World Cup. We have a qualifier next month and preparations have started to ensure we have a good team for the match.
"We cannot afford to underrate our opponents so the right players will be selected to get the job done."

Print baby shower invitation with a nautical theme. I used typical "at sea" colors to match the tone. For the lighthouse, I actually referenced several lighthouses, gathering most of may inspiration from a brightly colored tattoo, which in turn inspired the half-tone font as well. I paired this with a serif font that had lots of flow to embody the movement of the sea.

Talk about a rent hike – READ THIS!
Deb has lived in the same apartment in San Francisco for the past 11 years but that is about to change. Her rent is (or was) $2,145-per-month for her 2 bedroom abode but a letter that she received from her landlord on May 2nd is about to bring that to a grinding halt. It seems that a slight increase in rent is coming her way, a $6,700 dollar a month increase! Believe it or not, her landlord is raising the rent to a whopping $8,900 a month and that's not all. The new security deposit will be $12,500 big ones!
To make matters worse Ms. Follingstad was under the impression that her apartment was rent controlled under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance of 1979. Well, actually, it was but when the previous tenant below her moved out last year the landlord removed all of the plumbing and appliances and converted the ground level to a storage space. In doing so the property became a single family residence that was no longer covered under the 1979 law and therefore no longer rent controlled.
In retaliation to the landlords rent hike, Deb decided to post a copy of the notice on her Facebook and instantly received an outpouring of support from fellow socialites with more than 7,100 shares of the notice. What some of them had to say about the landlord was less than flattering. Unfortunately, all of this support is not helping her situation and currently she is searching for something a bit more "affordable" and seeking legal council.
The landlord, Nadia Lama has not made any public comment at this time but her lawyer, Denise A. Leadbetter simply said "You are not receiving all the information from Deborah, and I have no other comment at this time".
The rise in rents throughout the country has been making headlines for some time now but this one takes the cake! Good luck to Deb in her new search and maybe, just maybe she needs to consider buying a place of her own?

Social Media Week, set for the 4th of February till the 8th of February, is a weeklong conference featuring a central stage and panels, workshops, masterclasses and so on at multiple rooms and locations, with the singular motive of providing ideas, trends, insights, and inspiration for persons and businesses (Start-ups and established) with an understanding of how to get the extra edge in a high-strung connected world.
TECNO took center stage at one of the key off-campus sessions which took place on Tuesday, 5th of February within the shores of the Island, at Mayhill Hotel, Lekki as they partnered with WakaFire for the second edition of the WakaFire Mobile Photography Masterclass at the SMW.
The session themed LEVERAGING MOBILE PHOTOGRAPHY TO TELL COMPELLING STORIES was broadcast live to an international audience via a mobile phone. Panelists dissected engaging topics including branding, visual identity and storytelling and gave implausible tips on mobile photography, looping the experience TECNO mobile offers in every photographic journey to the simple yet intricate mix of flawless photography with your mobile phone.
Queeneth Enilama, the Compere and anchor of the session introduced other prestigious individuals who were also members of the panel. On the panel sat Modupe Oduyemi, the Creative Director of MOA Creative Design Studio who took participants through branding processes for individuals and businesses. In her words'for you to tell a story, it means you're a person people can listen to and end by describing the tools of visual identity- logo/symbols, colours, typography and images as related to storytelling in branding.
Osaretin Avbuleimen, Managing Partner at Jonathan Cole was also on the panel and spoke about the instruments of stories which he mentioned were words and pictures. He further explained branding and how it's different from business. Osaretin explained that having a business doesn't necessarily qualify a person as a brand owner. He mentioned that to be a brand owner, one must have a brand manual and be able to tell a compelling story. 'The DNA of any brand is the DNA of the founder or set of founders' Osaretin said.
In all his fascination about culture and Nigerian tourism, Abdusalam Khalid Hamza, a Documentary Photographer, emphasized the significance of his TECNO phone in telling the stories of the subjects in his pictures. Khalid was definitely experiencing more stories in every shot as he took us on a TECNO-logical journey through the lens of his various TECNO smartphones.
Khalid's stories through the lens of his TECNO smartphones…
Khalid's hack to being a great photographer is starting with the why and not the how, choosing the experience before the photo, doing research about your subject and your desired location, reflecting your knowledge in your photo, treating your subject with empathy (as a human and not a photographer), getting comfortable with your subject so you don't come off as intrusive, practicing regularly and treating your mobile phone as an actual camera. He concluded with the biggest and most important of all hacks, that is, knowing your craft and owning your TECNO.
Obasa Olorunfemi, host of the session and Senior Photographer at Wakafire took participants through his journey into photography and the interesting relationship he built with TECNO devices and eventually, the TECNO brand. He also gave a few mobile photography tips that would make it a lot easier for people to take good pictures, these include: knowing that when the sun hits your focus, the shadows and highlights of your photograph are more visible and that zooming your mobile phone camera is bad for your picture.
There was a short Q/A session during which the audience asked important questions relating to branding, photography and the important role mobile photography is increasingly playing in our daily lives. With the end of the Q/A session, it was time to put everything learned to practice during a Photowalk within the premises of the hotel. To further motivate participants, TECNO mobile represented by a member of its PR team Damilola Atinmo, promised the winner a brand new Camon 11 pro with AI technology, which is the latest offering from the smartphone giant. In the end, Miss Damilola emerged winner of the photo competition with Chef Fregz coming a very close second.
We are definitely looking forward to a bigger and more enthralling session come 2020.

The Juneau Icefield Research Program student program is built around a 75 mile/120 kilometer traverse of the Juneau Icefield. The Icefield covers the border between Southeast Alaska and northwest British Columbia. Students and staff cover the entire distance on foot, traveling over hiking trails, on crampons, and by ski from Juneau, Alaska to Atlin, British Columbia. All 35 students and 10-15 staff travel between camps at roughly the same time (spaced out over a couple days and divided into small trail parties), and then everyone works out of the same major field camp for 10-14 days. This breaks the summer up into four blocks, one at each major camp, and four sets of "traverse days", when most people are focused on opening and closing camps and traveling between camps.
The Icefield camps are numbered in the order in which they were established, beginning in the late 1940s. The traverse route has changed over the years and not all the camps are still in use, but we still use the original names. As a result, the order of the camp numbers can feel a bit arbitrary at first. This is one of the many quirks of Icefield living that keeps us connected to the history of the program.
The following summary of the summer is broken up into the blocks and the traverse sections. If you're curious about what to expect of the traverse or which block may the best for your teaching or research needs, the Block Schedule will be most helpful. If you're considering staying for more than one block or applying to do the whole traverse as student or staffer, the traverse summaries will be helpful.

ASCLA invites you to the ASCLA President's Program, Using Innovative, Music-Based Outreach Programs to Reach Vulnerable Populations of All Ages on Saturday, June 23 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM at the Morial Convention Center, Rm 345. The panel will share how music positively affects people and enriches programs for all ages and vulnerable, underserved populations. Speakers will be Jan Maier, Cork Hardin, Nicole Brown, Carrie Banks, and Dr. Betsy Diamant-Cohen. See the Conference Scheduler for more details.
Based on her unique background as a nurse in health and aging research and as a choral conductor/performer, Jan Maier will lead an active demonstration on the pervasive effects of music on our brains and bodies. She will share recent highlights on cutting edge research on music and the brain, as well as the many health benefits of musical programming. Then, a panel of professionals involved in innovative outreach work will share their musical projects and discuss steps you can use to include music in your own outreach programs.
"Mother Goose on the Loose Goslings" is a newly-developed program for parents with premature babies in NICUs. Social-media based "pop-up storytimes" in neighborhood parks bring diverse communities together uniting them through song. Visits to nursing homes can successfully incorporate musical activities with seniors. Music programs can make libraries more welcoming to people with disabilities such as the longstanding partnership with Music for Autism, through which the Brooklyn Public Library has attracted new patrons. Discover the steps taken to set-up these programs and hear about the powerful impact they have had on the vulnerable communities they serve. At the end of the session, brainstorm ways in which you can bring one of these programs (or something similar) into your community.

It is fantastic that MFX offer often very attractive bonuses. i traded with them for one year and i cant say bad word.
Good broker, low spreads, instant executuion. I never had any problems using their services. I trade in MFX Broker for 4 months on real account on ECN model.
I read that more and more people change their broker to MFX. I did the same and i think that was a good move. They have good service and offer good conditions with low spreads.
Hi Guys. Do You ever use copy signals option at MFX? Do they works?
I'm with this broker for 3 years and a half and still happy with them, no problem found for that long period. I'm mostly trading for 0.1 lot but with SL/TP for many hundreds points, usually holding position for at least several days and that strategy works fine with me. You just have to find your own winning strategy.
I can say that compared with xtb and ducascopyfor example, MFX has better customer service, faster execution and lower spreads. Plus you may choose between many different types of accounts.
In my opinion one of the best broker. Low spreads, fast execution, leverage up to 1:1000, minimum deposit $0. For me sounds great.
Have you ever used this bonuses?
50 % bonus funds are charged for deposits. wow 🙂
I use micro account and i'm satisfied. Min. deposit 0 USD, Min. lot 0,1, Leverage 1:100 – 1:1000. No commission and 87 currency pairs and 2 spot metal…. nice 🙂
I saw this bonus. Their offer is very extensive, but right now i thinking about this project. https://mfxbroker.com/en/page/proptrading
They have very nice bonuses all the time, really like it.
I like this broker. Excellent trading conditions. Support are available at all times, and I learned a lot from their materials on their website. Right now i use forex micro account and im quite satisfied.
I read many opinion about this broker. I have a few questions. Guys, do you ever use copy signals option at MFX? Do they works? What type account do you use ?
Recently i got a call from their consultant and the conditions they offer – spreads, leverage, platform, seem attractive. has anyone been trading with them and could share their opinion?
