Why Canadians Deserve and Need Electoral Reform
For as long as Canada has been a self-governing country, voters have always had to endure a flawed electoral system. And as more Canadians have noticed this, calls for electoral reform have come from the Green Party, New Democratic Party, and the Liberal Party. Prime Minister Trudeau even said that this would be last election held under a First Past the Post (FPTP) voting system.
But what is the FPTP system? Why does it need to change? And what sorts of alternatives exist? This short article will look to provide some quick answers to these questions.
Simply, FPTP is the long-running system here in Canada. Under it, we elect our 338 Members of Parliament (MPs) in elections all over the country. Each one of those elections is independent of the rest, and at the end, the party which won the most of these races gets to form the government. It doesn't matter if the winning party has less than 50% support in the riding, and it doesn't matter how much or little you win by.
Sometimes, the winning party might not have gotten the most total votes across the 338 elections, and often a party can get 40% of the vote, but more than 50% of the seats. This is what happened in the 2011 and 2015 federal elections, along with the 2014 Ontario election. And in the Canadian parliamentary system, with our strong parties, 51% of the seats means 100% of the power.
This often means that people are pressured into voting 'strategically,' because they feel the only choice is to stop the worst option, rather than choose what they feel is the best option. People sometimes feel they can't vote for what they feel is the best future for their families and community, but rather choose the 'lesser evil,' lest their vote be 'wasted.'
This negative process undermines millions of voters who chose other parties, and distorts the general will of the electorate. It is in this context that experts, labour unions, and many Canadians have called for a new system, which needs to be based on three overarching concepts.
The system needs to offer proportionality: This means that, if a party gets 30% of the overall vote, they should get about 30% of the seats. No longer should we have a system where 40% of the vote gives you absolute power, and where 10% of the vote might leave you without any seats at all.
The system needs be clear, and make choices positive: By this, I mean that people need to be able to understand the process and their ballot, and that the choice they make has to be straightforward. People shouldn't have to worry about voting based on complicated strategic processes: if they want to support the NDP, then they should feel perfectly free to do so without any consequences
The system needs to retain geographic representation: The problem with some proportional seat distributions is that they leave out the local element of politics. But there are many proportional systems that ensure that you still have a local MP. In a country like Canada—with its geographic, cultural, linguistic, and religious diversity—having MPs from your community must be a mainstay.
As you might be able to tell, the current FPTP system only really hits the last of these three points. But there is a system that honours all three points, and has the support of the Canadian Labour Congress, the New Democratic Party, and Fair Vote Canada: Mixed Member Proportional (MMP). At its core, the MMP system gives every Canadian two votes per ballot, which might look something like this:
As you can see, the first vote is done as it always has been. You vote for your local MP, and the person with the most votes wins outright. But because these elections tend to have distorted results across wider regions, your second vote is made for the particular party you support. In this system, we give out two thirds of the seats using the first vote, and the rest using this proportional model, which means that the results from the second vote are used to balance out the distortion from the FPTP vote, all without taking away local representation. In fact, because the system's proportional elections are done on a regional basis, you will have both your local MP, as well as many more regional MPs from your general area of the province.
This form of MMP is only a proposal, and there are potential modifications that can be made, but the system as proposed gives proportionality, clarity, and geographic presentation in a way our existing system does not. And unlike the current system, you can differentiate between your local choice, and your general one. As it stands, if you love your local Liberal candidate, but cannot stand the party leader, you have to choose one or the other. But here, you can vote for your local voice, and then choose a party that better represents your ideological preferences.
At the end of the day, if we adopt this system, or one like it, no longer will Canadians have to choose between voting their conscience, and picking a winner. You sometimes hear that Canadians are disengaged from politics, but if we have a system that makes their voice heard more consistently, and doesn't treat voting like a complicated game, I trust that people will see greater value in the democratic process. And we will all be better off for that.

Above is a gorgeous little flame angel bred in Hawaii using a flow-through system.
The short answer is no. In fact, sustainably collected wild fishes are generally significantly less impactful on wild reefs than commercially breeding fishes inland. "Huh!?! What are you smokin', Austin!?" Now bear with me for a minute, and know that I used to be the one asking what the person pushing this notion was smoking.
Okay so let's look at what it takes to net collect a fish off of the reef:
- A tank of gas to fuel up the boat to go collecting.
- Dive and fish collection gear to use once at the reef.
- A temporary holding facility where ideally animals are held for at least a couple weeks prior to shipping.
- Fish shipping materials: styrofoam and cardboard box, bags, heat/cold packs.
- Fuel for the plane to ship the fish.
Brian Greene is a phenomenal deep fish collector using sustainable methods to collect uber-rare specimens.
Now let's look at what it takes to breed fishes inland:
- All of the above to source brood-stock.
- A facility to house brood-stock and rear live foods, larvae, and young fishes.
- Equipment to do all of the above (tanks, sumps, filter media, skimmers, salt, RO/DI, lights, etc.).
- Staff to do all of the above (they drive to and from work everyday consuming fuel and more).
- Utilities to keep the facility running (electricity, gas, water, sewage).
- Months upon months of work to bring fishes up to sellable size (which oftentimes are still tiny).
- Fish shipping materials: styrofoam and cardboard box, bags, heat/cold packs.
A shot inside ORA, arguably one of the best commercial breeders stateside. These guys have the numbers game down to a science!
When you add up all the things necessary to successfully breed marine fishes inland, it's easy to see how the carbon footprint is significantly greater than taking a boat out to a reef and collecting from the most efficient breeder in the world, mother nature.
Of course, there are a plethora of exceptions to this. Unfortunately not every collector out there is using sustainable practices. We need them to target the proper sex and age/size to ensure that the groups of fishes continue to breed in their natural range. If we go out and collect all the animals from one area, clearly there won't be any left to breed.
If a collector rips coral from their bases to catch fishes, chances are the coral will die, driving fishes away from that area since that was their home. If collectors are using cyanide, they will kill the coral resulting in the same effect, and on a much larger scale than just killing a couple colonies by ripping them up.
Biota Marine uses flow-through systems in their hatchery in Palau keeping their footprint incredibly low.
Some commercial breeders use flow-through systems if they're lucky enough to be near the ocean. This removes a ton of equipment from the mix, along with the necessity to produce synthetic seawater. Removing equipment from the mix cuts back on electrical consumption, thus reducing their carbon footprint.
Finally, we're now seeing commercial breeders that rear so many animals, when you look at their carbon footprint per fish we're getting really close, perhaps even lower, than that of a wild-caught counterpart. Leaping high-five to those that are making head weight in the numbers game!
At Aqua Box we search for breeders spending their time working with animals that are generally caught in regions known for cyanide fishing. Or deepwater animals where collectors are threatening their own lives diving down to unsafe depths in search of highly sought after fishes. Of course we love seeing so many clownfish being produced, to the point where we do not have to ever worry about affecting wild populations. Everybody wants clownfish, right? So this is a phenomenal animal suited for captive breeding.
We were ecstatic to work with these amazing captive bred Yasha Gobies (Stonogobiops yasha), who are unfortunately commonly sourced from regions utilizing less than desirable collection methods.
On the flip-side, last year we were offered captive bred Royal Gramma's (Gramma loreto) bred in Australia. I could not have been more excited to see this wonderful little fish being aquacultured and offered to the trade! However after taking a step back it hit me; this fish is in no way threatened, and I can have a diver sustainably collect a few dozen on Tuesday, and have them tanked in my office by Thursday. Or, we can have this fish collected by a diver, shipped to Australia where all the bullet points listed above for captive breeding are applied over months, then shipped back across the world to me. What sense does that make?
Rufus Kimura is another amazing rebreather (and standard SCUBA) sustainable collector that we work with, here showing off the illusive Centropyge narcosis and C. boylei.
So while we're huge supporters of captive breeding fishes, it's important to realize it is not the end all be all of moving our industry forward. In fact, in many circumstances, it is more harmful to wild reefs than sustainable wild collection.

Common Criteria Evaluation Application Process
Pitching Session
- This includes a product demo or product technical presentation in terms of its security features by a client. CyberSecurity Malaysia MySEF will score the product using the MySEF Evaluation Project Acceptance Form. During this presentation, we will have a discussion on the security features of the product, scope of evaluation, the Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) that is required, whether the product is completed or under development, product documentation and commitment towards the evaluation process
- If the score meets the requirement to proceed with evaluation, we will proceed with developing a business proposal, describing the evaluation process, price, timeline and deliverables by both parties
- If the client accepts the proposal, the client will sign the acceptance form in the business proposal and revert to CyberSecurity Malaysia MYSEF
- CyberSecurity Malaysia MySEF will proceed with preparing the Service Level Agreement (SLA) to be signed by both parties. Once completed, client is required to submit a purchase order and CyberSecurity Malaysia will issue an invoice
- During the legal and finance process, the client can start preparing the Security Target (ST) document which is a crucial document to begin evaluation and submit it to CyberSecurity Malaysia MySEF. For a sample of the stated Security Target (ST), one can refer to the publicly available security targets on the Internet or at the MyCC website
- CyberSecurity Malaysia MySEF will review the ST and proceed with an evaluation proposal to the Malaysian Common Criteria Certification Body (MyCB) to start the technical evaluation on the client's product.
- For Protection Profile evaluation application process, please contact the Lab Manager for further information.
IPSA/IVA Application Process
- Similar to Common Criteria evaluation application process; except that the client is not required to develop a Security Target.
- Please contact the lab manager for more information
Additional Information
Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL), Duration and Fee
- Currently we are offering Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) EAL1 up to EAL4+ augmented.
- Duration for evaluation may take three months and above, depending on Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) that the client chooses and the client's commitment towards such evaluation.
- Evaluation fee will depend on the scope, complexity of the Target of Evaluation (TOE) and Security Features Requirements (SFRs). The cost will be higher if specialized testing under AVA and ATE is needed. If the testing requires access to specialized test equipment or facility, then we will partner with other CC labs and any direct costs incurred by CyberSecurity Malaysia will be passed on to the client.

Common Criteria
Note Website: Common Criteria
The Common Criteria project was initiated to harmonize the ITSEC, CTCPEC (Canadian criteria) and the US Draft Federal Criteria (FC) and TCSEC (Orange Book) into a Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (CC) for use in evaluating products and systems; and for stating security requirements in a standardized way. Its aim is to replace national and regional criteria with a worldwide set of standards. The CC has seven assurance levels, however, only the Common Criteria Recognition Agreement (CCRA) recognizes only the first four. The Assurance Level Page contains detailed information about the seven CC levels.
Assurance Levels
The CC has seven assurance levels: from EAL1 (the lowest) to EAL7 (the highest). At present, only assurance levels up to EAL4 have been incorporated within the international Common Criteria Recognition Agreement (CCRA). The seven CC levels are described below.
Functionally Tested. Provides analysis of the security functions, using a functional and interface specification of the TOE, to understand the security behavior. The analysis is supported by independent testing of the security functions.
Structurally Tested. Analysis of the security functions using a functional and interface specification and high-level design of the subsystems of the TOE. Independent testing of the security functions, evidence of developer "black box" testing, and evidence of a development search for obvious vulnerabilities.
Methodically Tested and Checked. The analysis is supported by "grey box" testing, selective independent confirmation of the developer test results, and evidence of a developer search for obvious vulnerabilities. Development environment controls and TOE configuration management are also required.
Methodically Designed, Tested and Reviewed. Analysis is supported by the low-level design of the modules of the TOE, and a subset of the implementation. Testing is supported by an independent search for obvious vulnerabilities. Development controls are supported by a life-cycle model, identification of tools, and automated configuration management.
Semi Formally Designed and Tested. Analysis includes all of the implementation. Assurance is supplemented by a formal model and a semiformal presentation of the functional specification and high level design, and a semiformal demonstration of correspondence. The search for vulnerabilities must ensure relative resistance to penetration attacks. Covert channel analysis and modular designs are also required.
Semi Formally Verified Design and Tested. Analysis is supported by a modular and layered approach to design, and a structured presentation of the implementation. The independent search for vulnerabilities must ensure high resistance to penetration attack. The search for covert channels must be systematic. Development environment and configuration management controls are further strengthened.
Formally Verified Design and Tested. The formal model is supplemented by a formal presentation of the functional specification and high-level design showing correspondence. Evidence of developer "white box" testing and complete independent confirmation of developer test results are required. Complexity of the design must be minimised.

Release: May 25, 2016 - Author: brainbug1602 - Translator: DaxRider123 - external link: IMDB
This is a comparison between the German DVD released by MIG/Eurovideo and the US DVD released by Scorpion Releasing.
Dakkar, high priest of the spider cult and his followers reign over the country. One day, a prophecy comes true: Ator, son of Torren, is born who one day will get rid of the cult. Dakkar sends out his men to kill the newborn, yet the mysterious Griba brings Ator to foster parents that rear him. When he one day wants to marry his stepsister Sunya, his father tells him, that this is no problem since he is adopted. During the ceremony, the cult raids the village and kidnaps Sunya. Griba trains Ator to become a fighter. Along with Roon he gets on his way to free Sunya and destroy the spider cult.
Soon after the success of "Conan", legendary shlock-movie-maker Joe D'Amato realized that the audience was ready for more movies of the same kind. "Ator - The Fighting Eagle" is known as one of the first Conan rip-off movies and was shot during a small amount of time and with a minimum budget. Just a few months after "Conan", D'Amato was able to bring the rip-off to the screen. The protagonist is played by Miles O'Keeffe, who was priorly seen in the movie "Tarzan the Ape Man", co-starring Bo Derek. Sabrina Siani plays the role of Roon and throughout the following years was a part of several barbarian movies (such as "Conquest"); thus she was dubbed "queen of the barbarian movie". Laura Gemser co-stars as the witch Indun who leads Ator. Former pro-wrestler Dakar ("Zombi 2", "Zombi Holocaust") stars as the spider cult's leader. Amato thus got together an illustrious cast. However, the movie struggles with a lot of problems, such as the pretty dull enactment. More than once, the movie takes too much time with its scenes. Apart from that, "Ator" is trashy fun. Thanks to the cheap production, a greater part of the dialog is quite absurd. For example, Ator asks his sister why he cannot marry her. Once she responds that it is due to the fact that she is his sister, Ator immediately runs off to asks his father if there really is no possibility for the marraige. When Ator fights the spider, the scene comes across as being pretty cheap, after all, the beast comes across as inactive and only once is able to wiggle with its legs before Ator hits it.
For the US market, the movie was toned down. Quite a few plot sequences were taken out, probably to enhance the movie's flow. Unfortunately, some of the violence was taken out, too, especially inside the volcano after Ator got holf of the shield. Even the battle against the papercut-spider was shortened, probably to take out some of the ridiculous no-budged-effects. Also, some of the scenes were placed differently to cover up the cuts. The German DVD was probably based on a US master. All missing sequences were cut in from a VHS-source. However, two sequences from the US Version are not included on the German DVD.
When it comes to the quality, the US DVD is much better. There, the movie is included in an anamorphic format of 1.85:1 - the German DVD has a 4:3 letterboxed format.
Comparison of the image quality:
German DVD:
German DVD: 90:20 min. (PAL)

This article is part of our Fantasy Premier League Rankings series.
Oh, look, another gameweek! Oh, and there's another beginning Tuesday. Yes, the fixtures are coming in hot, and there's probably no supporter base more excited than Manchester United's, as the team is absolutely flying since the sacking of Jose Mourinho. Following up their 5-1 rout of Cardiff City last weekend, they punished Huddersfield 3-1 on Boxing Day thanks to a brace from Paul Pogba, which was preceded by two assists. Very few people thought United wouldn't instantly improve under Ole Gunnar Solskjær, but the immediate attacking returns may be a bit above expectations.
I was a gameweek late, but I decided to go all-in – or at least as much as you can – taking a four-point hit to bring in Pogba, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford. I went back and forth trying to decide if I should just get Pogba and Martial or Pogba and Rashford, but ultimately decided to just take the hit and grab all three. Unfortunately, I was trying to transfer Ryan Fraser out but I was £0.2 short, so instead I sold someone else:
#FPL Gameweek 19 - let's goooooooo#ManUtdpic.twitter.com/fAci9YV2g0— Andrew M. Laird (@RotoWireAndrew) December 25, 2018
I did this all before Thursday's Southampton v. West Ham match, so of course I missed out on Felipe Andreson's brace that came after Martial didn't even play on Boxing Day because of a stomach bug. FPL can be so great sometimes.

Normal Male Fertility and Pregnancy Rates
An Overview of Normal Male Fertility
Normal Pregnancy Rates
When couples with no known infertility issues start trying to have a baby, their odds of achieving a pregnancy are about 15–25 percent each month. About 75-80 percent of these couples will have successfully established a pregnancy within six months, and 90 percent will have done so within one year. After a year of unsuccessful trying, however, a couple's chances of naturally establishing a pregnancy will have dropped to approximately 3–5 percent each month.
Normal Sperm Production
Sperm production is initiated and maintained by the male hormonal system. The pituitary gland, which sits at the base of the brain, is the hormonal "control center" of the body. Cells within the front part of the pituitary gland produce two very important hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). FSH induces the spermatogenic cells within the testicles to make sperm, while LH signals the Leydig cells within the testicles to make testosterone.
FSH and LH play complementary roles in normal sperm production. Without FSH, the spermatogenic cells would not make sperm. However, sperm production requires high testosterone levels within the testicles; hence the importance of LH stimulation to drive increased testosterone production.
Normal Sperm Maturation
Unlike women, who are born with all the eggs they will ever have, after puberty men continuously make new sperm. The sperm development process takes approximately ten weeks, as sperm precursor cells slowly transform into fully mature sperm. During this maturation process, the sperm leave the testicle and enter into the epididymis, a structure that wraps around the side of the testicle. When sperm leave the epididymis and enter into the long tube called the vas deferens, they are fully mature and ready to swim. Large numbers of sperm are concentrated within the vas deferens in preparation for future ejaculation.
Normal Male Sexual Function
The bulbourethral glands (also called Cowper's glands) are a pair of small glands that sit beneath the urethra near the prostate. During sexual intercourse, the bulbourethral glands produce a small amount of clear fluid (called pre-ejaculate) that lubricates the urethra and neutralizes the acidity of any residual urine left behind from the last urination. When ejaculation occurs, the vas deferens rhythmically contracts, forcing the sperm to flow into the ejaculatory ducts. Within the ejaculatory ducts, the sperm pick up fluid from the seminal vesicles, which then joins fluid from the prostate gland as it enters the urethra. Strong contractions of the surrounding muscles then force the sperm out of the urethra, through the tip of the penis, and into the woman's vagina.
Normal Conception
Following ejaculation, sperm are deposited near the woman's cervix, which is a structure at the top of the vagina leading into the uterus. The part of the ejaculate fluid that was produced by the seminal vesicles causes the semen to coagulate (stick together), and this helps to protect the sperm from the harsh, acidic environment of the vagina. The prostate fluid contains enzymes that gradually release the sperm from the coagulated mass of the rest of the ejaculated fluid, thereby allowing the sperm to enter the woman's cervix. Hormonal changes in women around the time of ovulation (when a mature egg is released from the ovary) cause the cervix to be more receptive to allowing sperm to pass into the uterus. The sperm then swim up the uterus into the fallopian tubes in search of an egg. During this process, the vast majority of the sperm will die. Only a small number of the fittest, best-swimming sperm actually make it up the fallopian tubes to the area where fertilization can occur. If the timing is right, these sperm will meet up with an egg that has been released from the woman's ovary. A single sperm will penetrate the egg, causing a chemical reaction within the egg that excludes any other sperm from entering as well. The miracle of fertilization and embryo development then ensues, with the embryo traveling down the rest of the fallopian tube and implanting within the wall of the uterus, the lining of which has thickened under hormonal influence to grow and provide the rich blood supply necessary to sustain a growing embryo.
Conception is a fascinating and complex process. Although it takes place within the female reproductive tract, the male contribution obviously plays a vital role and contributes half of the DNA of the future baby. With all of the myriad steps and mechanisms necessary for normal conception, it is amazing that the process proceeds normally in the majority of couples. There are many steps along the way, though, where problems can present themselves, and overcoming these obstacles to fertility on the male side is the focus of this book.

Shop Talk in the Underground Gallery: CJ Martin
Shop Talk is a show to celebrate the newly renovated underground and the artists that are adjacent to it. While not exclusively a trait of the artists that share the underground, I feel that those of us who have our studios close to each other have informal, informative conversations.
I asked everyone to write a little about themselves, and to share a favorite interview, book, or podcast that they feel is useful while they work in the studio. While I think it is important for artists to get in the zone and to deeply engage in our work, I think it's also important to identify the voices that give us some sense of our location in contemporary practice. I find myself looking for substantive conversations. I'm also amazed by how I try to get someone's idea out of my head! Regardless, I'm grateful for the casual interactions I have with my neighbors, as it keeps me sharp and gives me a place to find my own voice.
-Nathan Foxton, Curator
This is the first in a series of seven.
I am trying to create an approach to painting that mirrors the way that life is lived. We experience life one day at a time and our lives exist as a succession of days. Likewise, my painting process involves a focus on each act in isolation, each painting exists as a sum of this succession of acts. I perform a repetition of simple actions or mark making, each one intended to advance the picture not necessarily through improvement, but rather, simply through continuing the act of painting. In this way each painting is a representation of this idea as well as a manifestation of the psychoanalytic idea of the Drive, a record of being present in the act of painting. This is how I question the necessity of meaning and purpose, simply being present is fulfillment enough. It is my hope that the sum of the succession of acts in my paintings adds up to something that is engaging and appealing, perhaps even beautiful, the same way that I hope that the sum of my days will add up to something that was worthwhile and valuable.
I recently discovered the Modern Art Notes podcast and have been voraciously working through all the back episodes.

Black Friday with Intention
It's that time of year again - Black Friday.
To be honest, I've had a negative perception of Black Friday ever since I saw Everlane's Black Friday Fund campaign in 2014. It was a refreshing campaign that encouraged consumers to do good instead of consuming things you don't need.
However, as I've stayed true to my goal of shopping only ethically made products this year and frankly, having a smaller budget, I realized that Black Friday discounts allows me to buy the ethically produced items I've been wanting for a while (for example, my white sneakers broke a couple months ago, so I am in the market for new white sneakers).
It's easy to get lost in the sea of discount e-mails, long line ups and be in the middle of the shopping mayhem. Instead of over consuming, purchasing items I don't need, I do thorough research and evaluate every item long and hard before pressing the "Buy Now" button.
I've round up a couple of my favourite ethical brands that rarely have sales and/or is having their lowest prices of the year.
Mejuri - Ethically produced fine jewellery without traditional mark ups.
They're having their only sale of the year - 10% off 1 item, 15% off 2, 20% off 3+.
Girlfriend - activewear made from recycled plastic bottles and fishing nets.
No Black Friday announcement yet, but they've hinted at Cyber Week deals.
ZUZII - Ethically made footwear made in USA using sustainably sourced raw materials. They have very high standards for raw materials sourcing - from producing sneaker soles and shoe laces using 100% solar energy, to using only vegetable tanned leather that does not contain toxic substances harmful to humans and the environment.
Up to 25% off site wide.
Harly Jae - Vancouver based clothing brand that incorporates the slow fashion framework in the design, production, and packaging aspects of her clothing.
20% off site wide with the code intentionalfriday.
vitruvi - Vancouver based aromatherapy company that sources premium, certified organic essential oils without traditional mark ups.
All their products, excluding the new carrier oils, will be 30% off. This is their only and biggest sale of the year!*
Alice + Whittles - Toronto-based rain boot company where they value transparency, ethical manufacturing practices and worker empowerment as a means of creating long-lasting, positive change. The boots are made from natural rubber in Sri Lanka, and harvested in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable way.
Up to 45% off site wide.
United by Blue - Outdoor brand that carries unisex clothing, outdoor supplies, and decor. For every product sold, United by Blue removes one pound of trash from our world's oceans and waterways.
25% off everything and they are having their 3rd annual Blue Friday, a nationwide DIY cleanup initiative, where they encourage everyone anywhere to spend one hour cleaning up trash at a local park.
Of course, there are also great brands who are not participating in Black Friday sales, but encouraging consumers to do good, and support those in need with their dollars instead.
kotn - Toronto-based basics clothing company that sells high-quality, well-designed, and ethically-sourced essentials made from authentic Egyptian cotton. Their mission is to revitalize a struggling industry that's frought with the unethical treatment of workers by creating a stronger and more cooperative method for economic and social development.
Every dollar spent in-store and on kotn.com from Friday to Monday will be donated to rebuild and fund the operations of two decommissioned schools in the towns of El Lebeidy and Al Mashhour (up to $80,000).
Whether you are shopping on Black Friday because you've been waiting all year to be able to afford an ethical purchase, or opting out this year because you have what you need, I hope that this has inspired you to make your Black Friday experience more of an intentional one.
With love,
*In the spirit of full transparency, I am not sponsored by these brands. The only brand I partnered with was vitruvi, where I receive a small commission for every purchase made through my link.

How to Lift your Vibe when Work is Tough
No matter what you do, or how much you love doing it, occasionally working can bring you down. Sometimes just having a busy practice with lots of good stuff going on can get overwhelming and negative thoughts can creep up on you.
I've had some really crazy stuff happen this year in my personal life. It has been so stressful and has pulled me in many different directions. There was a time I was only able to work very part time, yet my clients still needed and depended on me and the stress was incredible.
During that time I realized my attitude was really starting to suffer. I became very irritable, short-tempered and negative. As you can imagine, a bad attitude isn't great for business. In reflecting on this time I realized that this isn't the first time I've experienced this type of situation at work. My husband was sick a few years ago and work became very difficult for me to handle during that time. I started hating my job, not because it was bad, I was just maxed out. I know that in years past I have quit my job out of exhaustion and frustration and if I'm honest, my quitting had less to do with the job than my ability to handle everything going on in my life. This time I had my own business though and quitting wasn't an option so I had to learn how to deal AND thrive.
What I Learned
Practice Gratitude:
Especially For The Annoying Things
Let's be honest. There are parts of every job we don't necessarily love, but they need to be done. There are also clients that get emotional and don't always behave the way we prefer our clients to. When I am stressed to the max I don't handle this stuff very well. This year I learned that if I can find something in those situations that I can be grateful for I can raise my vibe enough where I can truly appreciate the person or thing I need to address. By viewing that person or thing from a place of gratitude I can handle it better AND not impede my progress. The truth is, if we want success in our businesses and relationships bitterness, anger and frustration are the biggest blocks to that success. Not only are they blocks but they are poison and produce more of the same energy and result in our lives so the faster we turn that stuff around the happier and more successful we will be.
#LevelUp Tip - I like to diffuse doTERRA Forgive Blend during my gratitude practice. This blend is my absolute favorite and I use it every day at work so by using it during my gratitude practice I anchor feelings of gratitude to this smell and when I then smell it at work it invokes those same feelings.
If You Can't Say Something Nice
Don't Say Anything at All
I'm not the only person who struggles with their mouth am I? As I get older my control has gotten better but when I'm stressed my mouth is the first thing to open up and spew crap. As I said before, negativity is a poison and we create what we speak so if you can't say something nice, learn to keep your mouth shut. One of the things I started doing was writing down what crappy stuff I wanted to say. When I wrote it down I could see it and start to question it. It's not enough to just write it out and let it hang there as is, you have to question it and then make it right. For instance, if you want to write down that your whole life everything has sucked since the first time you opened your eyes, maybe that is how you are feeling right now and that's fine but it's also not true. If you let yourself believe that you will create more of a sucky life for yourself - don't do that! Instead write it out and start to question it you will find that you have had a bunch of happy moments in your life that you can be grateful for. That in fact your whole life hasn't sucked and you are just feeling overwhelmed with your current situation. From there you can come to a point of understanding that life has ups and downs and this is a valley but it will pass. It's then that you want to start talking and speaking about how your life is already changing for the better. Once your belief is that your bad mood can turn around. Science also shows that this type of thinking lowers your stress hormones and enables you to problem solve better so you CAN get out of that funky place.
#LevelUp Tip - doTERRA Peace blend is a calming aromatherapy blend that can promote a sense of peace while you use it. Place two drops in your palms, rub together and cup your hands over your mouth and nose as you take a deep breath. Do this a couple of times to help you as you journal and work your way out of a negative space.
Get Help
Admit when you need help and get it. I hope that sounds simple because it really is. Hire someone to help you at home so you can free yourself up. Get someone to clean for you, be there for the kids after school, or whatever you need to give yourself a bit of a break right now. This doesn't need to be a lifetime commitment, it's support for now. If work is too crazy, hire a temp to help you get caught up, hire out services like lawn cutting, grocery delivery, or meal prep to lighten your load. Whatever you do, don't sit and complain about how overwhelmed you are. Talk to a good friend or your spouse and put your heads together so you can find some actionable solutions to help get you through the hard stuff and then put them into action.
#LevelUp Tip - doTERRA Motivate blend can help inspire you as you problem solve. Diffuse or use the Touch on your pulse points to inspire you as you work!
Let Go of Expectations
Decide what you can just let go of. We all have lot's of 'shoulds' in our lives that really aren't based on anything concrete. If you've got a bunch of those let yourself off the hook. For a time, just focus on what's important and you will be surprised how many of those nagging 'shoulds' that weigh you down will disappear. If, when things lighten up you want to incorporate them into your life again you can, but in my experience many of those things never return because I realize what little value they really have in my life after I've let them go.
#LevelUp Tip - doTERRA Console Blend is a perfect compliment to this type of brainstorming. Diffuse it while you journal and discover those nasty 'shoulds'
Dream A Little Dream
When work is tough is really the time you need to spend envisioning yourself doing your dream job. You need to see yourself loving work, loving your clients and sharing your amazing talent with the world on a grand scale. Make sure you do this EVERY DAY, especially when work is hard. Major shifts happen when you can really see what you want to achieve. When you can see it in your minds eye and feel it in your heart you will find your vibe begin to soar. Your confidence will be raised and your attitude will instantly change for the better.
#LevelUp Tip - doTERRA Cheer Blend is perfect to support your dream building practice. Diffuse to boost your mood as you envision yourself living your dream.
These are ways I turn the tables on negativity and keep my vibe high. I'd love to hear what you do too! Share below!

Angelus (2001)
Directed by Lech MajewskiRun Time - 108 min. | Countries - Poland | MPAA Rating - NR
Share on
Synopsis by Matthew Tobey
Polish director Lech Majewski followed up his 1999 film Wojaczek with this dark fantasy comedy based on true events that took place in a Selisian town beginning in the 1930s and continuing through the 1950s. As World War II looms, the leader of an occultist commune in a small Polish mining town makes three prophecies before dying, the third prophecy predicting the demise of the human race. Over the years, the members of the commune watch with great anxiety as the the first two prophecies appear to come true. Believing that the Apocalypse is fast approaching, they select a virgin boy from the commune to sacrifice himself and save the world from certain destruction. Cinematographer Adam Sikora won the Silver Frog for Angelus at Poland's 2001 Camerimage film festival.

Welcome to Senior Infants! We hope you like our blog. There are 19 children in our class, 9 boys and 10 girls. We are all great friends.Check out what we have been up to lately...
Planting Potatoes
As part of our Nature Study we planted three potatoes in a plastic bag outside our classroom. We put a few shovels of compost in the bag. We placed the potatoes in the compost. We covered the potatoes over with more compost. We watered them and left them to grow.
We look each day to see have any shoots come up from the potatoes and we water them frequently. When the shoots come up over the soil we will cover them again with compost which will increase our crop of potatoes.

Discussion (10) ¬
What if you made the ghost _part_ of the inheritance? First they're given a ghost, and if they're willing to let it crash at their place overnight then they can have the rest.
Also, I would personally love nothing more than to be forced to endure waffles to inherit [whatever].
Ha! Complete reversal.
Love it.
Or, you have to scare the ghost out of your place before dawn to inherit the millions (of millimeters of VHS film ribbon of 'Speed 2').
I'd forgotten all about 'Speed 2'….damn you to an eternity of waffles for reminding me!!
Love the attention to detail, the bug antennae through the sheet just made my day.
Panel 1 would make great T-shirt. Just sayin…
You already did one about spending the night at a haunted house to inherit your estate, it's th toilet all over again!
Some gags just have enough potential for lots of comics.
All you need to do is make sure to BE the ghost that haunts some place for your inheritors to spend the night in. Because, you know, you're dead.
For some reason, whenever I hit "random comic" it takes me to this one.

The Two Richest Teams In Baseball Are Having The Best (And Smartest) Off-Seasons
When you really think about it, a book like Moneyball is about two things. Primarily, it's about a small market team like the Oakland A's being smarter than everyone else - exploiting inefficiencies in stats that allow them to compete with franchises who can triple their payroll. However, it's also about how those big market teams weren't always the brightest, shelling out huge, long-term contracts to overrated free agents.
When a big market team starts thinking analytically that's when small markets really get into trouble. We saw this with the Boston Red Sox in the early part of the last decade (side note holy shit 2003 was almost 15 years ago). When the Sox hired Bill James and Theo Epstein, it represented a philosophical shift in the way the team would operate. No longer would they simply rely on a big payroll to compete. They were going to be smarter, and it worked. Boston won three championships over the next 10 years.
Now it's nearly 2018, and every team has an analytics department. Both big and small markets are operating... "smartly". This is bad news for baseball. Well actually not for everyone. Not for fans of the Yankees and Dodgers, who (aside from the Angels miraculously landing Shohei Ohtani) are having the two best off-seasons of any teams, regardless of market size. Here's why:
Without a doubt the biggest story this winter has been Giancarlo Stanton getting traded to New York. It's still tough to believe how he basically FELL INTO THEIR LAPS HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?! The Marlins trading Stanton to a team like the Yankees is like the guy in your fantasy football league who doesn't know what he's doing and he trades Alvin Kamara for 50 cents on the dollar to the owner who already has Antonio Brown, Todd Gurley, and Rob Gronkowski. If the Stanton trade happened in a fantasy football league there would hundreds of comments in a Facebook group thread trying to get it vetoed. It's that ridiculous.
Now let me take you back to Opening Day 2016. The Yankees lineup was OLDDDDD, featuring Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Carlos Beltran, and Brian McCann in the 3-6 spots. Only one of those guys (McCann) is even still playing. A couple are already managerial candidates. We know what occured next. New York rebuilt faster than anyone else could've imagined, and by October 2017 they had a 3-2 game lead in the ALCS, falling one win short of the World Series. Unfuckingbelievable.
Even if the Yankees didn't do much this off-season, 2018 was likely going to be another step in the right direction. In an ideal world the kids (Judge, Sanchez, Severino, Frazier, etc.) would continue to develop as the front office set its eyes towards Manny Machado and Bryce Harper in free agency a year from now.
But then what happened? Well, the Marlins fucked themselves over is what happened. The Yankees didn't even go into this off-season planning to make a Stanton run, but how could they resist? Over the next 10 years the 6'6 monstar is owed $295 million. He's 28 years old. Let's compare that money owed to some other 10 year deals given out semi-recently:
All those guys signed deals when they were over 30, so the extra money owed to Stanton shouldn't seem that bad. But wait! The Yankees aren't even paying $295 million since Miami is still covering some of the deal! New York is paying $265 million!!!!!!! AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO GIVE UP ANY TOP PROSPECTS TO PULL IT OFF HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?!?!
[takes three deep breaths]
Harper was going to be looking for $400 million next year. Same for Machado. So $265 million for Stanton looks reasonable. And now NYY won't be desperate for Bryce or Manny. The Stanton deal wasn't a trade. It was a swindle. And if that wasn't enough Brian Cashman signed CC Sabathia to a reasonable one year deal. He also was able to move Chase Headley's contract, clearing the way for the franchise to get below the luxury tax. More on that in a bit...
The Dodgers had been quiet until Saturday, when they sent Adrian Gonzalez, Brandon McCarthy, Scott Kazmir, Charlie Culberson, and $4.5 million to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for Matt Kemp. Well, really the teams just traded the contracts of those players. Back in the day a Gonzalez/Kemp trade would've been a MAJOR blockbuster but in December 2017 it was a move made purely for financial reasons.
For the Braves, this was all about getting rid of the Kemp contract a year early. They'll take on more money in 2018 with the players they received, but they're all free agents after this year. Whereas if they held on to Kemp they would have another $20 million on the books in 2019.
And for the Dodgers, this was about one thing: the oh so sweet free agent class of 2018. This off-season has been a big one for MLB...but next year...next year is going to be for baseball what the Lebron James led free agent class of 2010 was for the NBA. It's going to change the fortunes of multiple franchises for years to come.
What the Dodgers did was take a bunch of expensive one year contracts, bundled them together, and traded them for an expensive two-year contract. With Kemp they're essentially spreading out money they owe over two years instead of paying all those other guys this season. Why would they want to do this? Well, they've gone over the $197 million luxury tax threshold in FIVE straight years, and if they can get below it before Opening Day they'll face a lot less penalties during...the free agent class of 2018.
What this all means is that (assuming they stay under the luxury tax) New York and LA are going to be BIG TIME players in free agency next year. They were going to be big time players no matter what...but now they won't be facing nearly as harsh penalties for spending big, meaning they may just blow some teams out of the water with offers to Harper, Machado, Clayton Kershaw, and others. 15 years ago this may not have been the case. Big market teams may not have also had the luxury of having smart, analytically minded people running things. Now they do, and that should be scary to the rest of baseball.

Emmanuel Jal Joins All Star Mandela Bday Bash
With Mr. Mandela in attendance, Jal will perform songs from his brand new album, "Warchild," due out in the U.S. on May 13. The 13 songs on "Warchild" are rooted in Jal's extraordinary life as a Sudanese child soldier. "Nelson Mandela is one of my biggest inspirations," said Jal. "It's a great honor for me to be given this chance to celebrate his birthday on the stage and then to attend his dinner birthday party. I cannot wait for the day."
Jal will join Royalty and politicians from both sides of the Atlantic, leading names from business, sports, film and entertainment - and some of the most successful musicians of the past twenty years. Queen + Paul Rodgers, Annie Lennox, Simple Minds, Leona Lewis, as well as South African and African artists such as Johnny Clegg, Sipho Mabuse, and the legendary Papa Wemba will perform at the concert. The concert will also feature numerous surprise appearances by major artists. In addition, President Bill Clinton, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, actor Will Smith, Oprah Winfrey, Robert de Niro and Forest Whitaker are among those who will attend some of the celebrations over the three-day period.
Emmanuel Jal, who doesn't know when he was born or exactly how old he is, learned how to fire a machine gun before he could ride a bike, and lives with the nightmares of the unspeakable things he had to do as a child soldier. When he was about 13, he, along with some 400 other "child soldiers," courageously deserted the rebel lines. Only sixteen made it to the relative freedom of a refugee camp. Jal was one of them.
Music is what kept him going after returning to "the real world." On "Warchild" (Sonic360/Fontana), Jal mixes hip hop with world music rhythms to tell his incredible story in songs like "Forced to Sin," "Many Rivers to Cross," "Baaki Wara," and the title track. A feature documentary on Jal's experience, also entitled "War Child," just won the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival Cadillac Audience Award, and will screen later this month at the Cannes Film Festival. In addition, Jal is writing his autobiography for St. Martin's Press. Over the past several years, Emmanuel has befriended artists like Peter Gabriel, Bono, Moby and Sir Bob Geldof who have helped him in countless ways, whether with his music or his Gua Africa foundation that helps educate former child soldiers.

In a memoir-writing class I took last year, I found myself writing about story-memories like these:
In the mid-1970s—when I was in sixth grade—the only African-American child in our class and I were the shortest kids in the room. For every line-up, every assembly, every class photo, this boy and I stood side by side. Funny how one gets to know a person. Thirty years have passed, but I often think of him—and about the day some classmates of ours tied his hands and feet together and left him outside while everyone else went inside at the end of recess.
In the 1970s, I learned that it was practice for certain Asian-American girls to have cosmetic surgery on their eyelids to achieve a Caucasian-like crease. My friend underwent multiple surgeries to correct scarring.
I remember another classmate of mine, in perhaps second or third grade. Unlike the rest of us, this boy had brown skin and black hair and black eyes. His ethnicity is unknown to me, but I remember his beautiful eyes—with the longest, thickest eyelashes I had ever seen. After the other kids began teasing him about his looks, he cut all his eyelashes off with a pair of scissors.
Of course, there are many, many more tales to tell from my predominantly white, suburban, American youth—but those three stories bubbled to the surface first.

Whirlwind of emotions. That is the best way to express this "session". Brandon approached me two days before he wanted to propose, because his original photographer told him he could no longer photograph the event. When he asked me I couldn't say no to his deep desire to capture this huge event and his million dollar smile is rather convincing.
The day he chose, however, was pouring rain so we had to reschedule for the next day. We arrived at 360 STL and new it would be magical. The gorgeous views and energetic feel of the place was the perfect location for this couple. Brandon guided Kristen to the windows and we sneakily followed and captured every moment.
And she had no idea it was coming! The whole restaurant erupted in congratulations.
From there Brandon has arranged a horse and carriage around the city, but before it arrived we had time to grab a few lovely shots of the newly engaged couple.
I've known Brandon for quite a long time. We went to college together for a while, until he had a great opportunity to play basketball overseas. I still think that Kristen's ring is better!
The carriage was able to take us to City Garden, which lights up magically in the evening.
Congrats you two. Thank you for allowing us to be the St. Louis part of your love story.
