President's Report
"The Marriage Equality debate is simply about these values of 'equal human rights'. It won't affect religious rights. It's the civil status of marriage, not the religious 'sacrament' that is being sought. The No campaign's arguments are using fear to maintain prejudice and keep all LGBTI people (our children) in their 'minority box'". - Bathurst PFLAG Co-ordinator Tony Sutton speaking to Dave Rankine in Bathurst City Life.
Dave Rankine began his article with: "…it was lovely to catch up with Bernadette and Tony Sutton – a couple with a very balanced take on the issue of marriage equality." He then gave some background on the formation of PFLAG in Bathurst, of which the Suttons were founding members, 23 years ago. Tony commented: "First we needed to educate ourselves and examine our own prejudices (all of us being Christians). For us, this was helped by the fact we loved our children. Once we realised it wasn't a 'choice', that God made them that way and He doesn't make mistakes, our role was set."
With all the rhetoric in the media surrounding the Postal Survey on Marriage Equality, it would be very easy to be consumed by it. I feel it is very important at this time to accentuate the positive and the fact that the Suttons were given the opportunity to raise awareness of their local PFLAG support group in their local press was a very positive outcome. The article also elicited a very interesting "Letter to the Editor" response from a Family Lawyer of 20 years standing, Jay Walker, who offered this advice to those unsure how to vote in the postal survey:
"You are voting to grant the same respect, dignity, legal recognition and next of kin status to same-sex couples, the same thing opposite sex couples have now. Nothing more than that." He added: "The No campaign has used deliberate lies and unrelated issues to confuse people into thinking the postal survey has far reaching implications. It does not."
I would like to thank Isabell Petrinic from the Parramatta Advertiser for giving me and Natalie an opportunity to comment on the pastoral letter on the same-sex marriage postal survey, that the Bishop of Parramatta sent to his Catholic flock. Bishop Vincent Long said he was "committed to make the church in Parramatta the house for all peoples, a church where there is less an experience of exclusion but more an encounter of radical love, inclusiveness and solidarity." I commented that I was heartened by Bishop Long's comments and that he was correct to point out that the survey was about whether or not Australians want the legal definition of civil marriage changed to include same sex couples and was not a referendum on sacramental marriage. Natalie, on behalf of Equal Voices, also welcomed Bishop Long's remarks saying: "It's really pleasing to see Church leaders acting in a Christ-like manner." Thanks to Ray & our son, Steve, Louise and Susana, who travelled to Parramatta to take part in the photo shoot for the Advertiser.
We were also contacted by journalist Katrina Vo from the Parramatta Sun for an interview and photo shoot on Thursday, October 12 in Parramatta Park, to raise awareness of our PFLAG Monthly Family Support Meeting. Mollie, Pam, Arthur, Narelle & Ray & I took part. Both Katrina and the photographer, Isabella were lovely and gave us an opportunity to raise awareness of our PFLAG Family Support meetings in Sydney's west, talk about our involvement in the Parramatta Pride Picnic on October 29 and also discuss the impact that the postal survey on same-sex marriage has had on our community. The story will appear in next week's edition.
October 10 was World Mental Health Day. The National LGBTI Health Alliance has partnered with Mental Health Australia for this year's campaign "Do you see what I see?" - LGBTI people and communities consistently demonstrate strength and resilience in the face of adversity and discrimination. It is also well known that LGBTI people have disproportionately poorer mental health outcomes than their peers. "Do you see what I see?" is focussing on reducing stigma, seeks to challenge perceptions about mental illness in Australia and encourages everyone to look at mental health in a more positive light.
There have been a number of initiatives to provide support to those affected by the current debate. One of these was the free community BBQ/live music event put on by the City of Sydney Council at Harmony Park, Surry Hills on Saturday, October 7. The aim was to celebrate resilience, diversity and provide support information from relevant community organisations. Ray & I had a most enjoyable afternoon, interacting with representatives from the many LGBTI organisations, such as Rainbow Families, ACON, Twenty10, the Gay & Lesbian Rights Lobby, Queerscreen, Organisation Intersex International and with the many community members who engaged with us on the stall. It was great that people from two organisations where we'd been invited to speak, the Surry Hills Labor Party and the ATO Parramatta came to chat and took photos with us. Thanks to Pip and Shaun and the City of Sydney Council staff for their amazing efforts and Member for Sydney, Alex Greenwich and City of Sydney Counsellors Jess Scully and Christine Forster, who were present to offer their support and encouragement.
Geoff Thomas has continued with his advocacy for the Yes campaign. He has represented PFLAG, speaking on Marriage Equality at 2 events in the city, staged by Price Waterhouse Coopers to large numbers of staff. He has also signed up to monitor the count of the postal survey results for the Yes campaign at Moorebank at least one day per week. He has asked us to spread the word, as they need more volunteers. The contact for the Yes campaign is Jarrod Lomas, mobile 0450 219 109. The Yes campaign is managed by Senator Dean Smith & his staff on the site. There are 2 shifts per weekday: 9.30 – 12.30 and 1.30 – 4pm. There is an induction, which can be done either on site or online. There is parking available or it is 10 mins walk from Liverpool Station. You can volunteer for one shift or many and the count will continue until November 10. If interested, call Jarrod as above or Geoff Thomas on 0412 444 886.
Ruth has also been busy in the Blue Mountains, assisting on a stall for Marriage Equality on September 23, disseminating Yes campaign materials, doing phone banking and attending Queerscreen with Ron at the Mt Vic Flicks last Sunday. Ruth's neighbour, Councillor Romola Hollywood from Blue Mts City Council has displayed one of our PFLAG "Vote Yes Please" signs in her front garden. Thanks to our National Spokesperson, Shelley Argent, for sending us the Yes campaign materials.
Thanks to Carol for taking part in the LGBTIQ community event in Penrith & for forwarding her report for the newsletter. Thanks to Pam for attending the Parramatta Queer Forum meeting, for volunteering to assist at the Parramatta Pride Picnic and for also making the effort to attend another meeting, re Mardi Gras involvement in Parramatta, which she discovered had been cancelled.
It's been very gratifying that so many people have offered to assist us with the Yes campaign. Thanks to Marilyn for spreading the word at her workplace, to Christine for delivering flyers, to Lorraine, for delivering flyers and doing phone banking and to Geoff Davey, who has been handing out Vote Yes flyers at Edgecliff Railway Station. Thank you also for the photo Geoff. We also learned that Geoff Davey is a very proud Dad, as his older son was the producer for the entertainment at the NRL Grand Final and was primarily responsible for the Macklemore performance selection and staging. What an amazing audience response to his performance of the song "Same Love!"
PFLAG will have a stall at the Parramatta Pride Picnic on Sunday, October 29 from 11am – 5pm. It will again be held at the River Foreshore Reserve, between Barry Wilde Bridge & Oars Bridge, on the north side of the river at Parramatta. You can access the venue from Elizabeth St., which runs off Victoria Rd. Parramatta at All Saints Church. If you would like to assist on the stall, give me a call on 0439 466 125, otherwise just come along and enjoy the day. More info later in newsletter.
Thank you to all who came to our Family Meeting on September 23. I hope to see many of you at our Family Meeting on October 28, for as Rudy always said, "When you don't need PFLAG anymore, that's when PFLAG need YOU to help others!" - Judy
LGBTIQ Community Event: October 10th at Penrith Women's Health Centre
I went along to this event and was warmly welcomed by Angela as a PFLAG representative. A nice young lady representing the Council arrived when I did. Angela had organised a young psychologist (who is doing her Masters degree and is also part of the LGBTIQ community), to speak on how LGBTIQ people can handle all the hurt and negativity that is happening because of the postal survey. It was a great presentation. Sadly there were only a dozen people all up there, but after the talk by the psychologist, everyone had a good conversation about that and what they were going through. A couple of people had had violent approaches made to them. I spoke about PFLAG (most of course knew of us, except the young woman from the Council), and how we have all been writing to members of parliament for some years now, including Shelley's trips to Canberra with petitions, letters etc., but that had all been "brushed aside" as the Government decided to go ahead with this divisive Yes/No Survey. I left some of our flyers and cards with Angela.
Angela was lovely and I think she did a wonderful job to get the night organised. I am sure it was helpful to all the people there. - Carol
PFLAG Parents Out & About for Equality
Geoff Davey emails:
On Tuesday 3rd October I went across to the railway station entrance of the Edgecliff centre during peak hour and gave out YES flyers to as many as would take them. Many said they had already voted Yes. When someone said they had voted Yes I tried to get them to take a flyer to put on the office noticeboard. Quite a few agreed to do this but whether they did is another matter. Of course, most people just ignored me. However, I didn't get any opposition from No voters. They just kept quiet.
During a lull I had my photo taken with the co-owner of the adjacent cafe where I get my coffees
Appeal for Members to join Committee
If PFLAG has been a support to you in the past, maybe you would like to consider offering yourself as a committee member to help to keep PFLAG viable. Committee meetings are held bi-monthly, on Saturdays, prior to family meetings, and are a great way of developing camaraderie between the members.
There are two major events each year with which we require assistance: Fair Day in late February (our major fundraiser) and Mardi Gras. Both of these events are very rewarding and a lot of fun, but can only happen if we have enough people on the ground to help out. There are other opportunities throughout the year if you wish to become further involved. Present committee members have found that working together for the betterment of PFLAG has helped them on their journey of acceptance.
PFLAG is a well-respected organisation in the community and this has been achieved through the dedication and hard work of committee members. Think about this and if you feel that you could give the time, contact Judy on 0439 466 125. Your offer of assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Parramatta Pride Picnic: Sunday 29th October
The banks of the Parramatta River will come alive with Rainbow Pride on Sunday, October 29th as the Parramatta Pride Picnic celebrates its 11th year.
Organisers are expecting over 1000 people to attend the event which will be held at the River Foreshore Reserve, Parramatta from 11:00am to 5:00pm. This is the biggest annual event for Western Sydney's gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex (GLBTI) community and is important as it helps to combat isolation and homophobia.
The picnic is being presented by the Parramatta Queer Forum, a group of GLBTI community organisations including ACON – Australia's largest GLBTI health and HIV/AIDS organisation, Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), Parramatta City Council, the Western Sydney Local Health District and the Metropolitan Community Church.
ACON's Western Sydney Health Promotion Officer Gavin Prendergast says: "The Parramatta Pride Picnic provides an opportunity to meet other people and families, make new friends and most importantly just have a really fun day out in the middle of Parramatta. Music, sporting activities, games, competitions, prizes – the picnic has it all." There'll also be a range of community information stalls with people from various organisations which provide services for the LGBTI community in Western Sydney.
"With the marriage equality survey occupying most minds, the picnic is an opportunity to gather as a community and help support each other." Mr Prendergast says. "LGBTI and HIV positive people living in the Western Sydney region can often experience a sense of social isolation and a lack of attachment to the broader LGBTI community and this can have a significant impact on their health and wellbeing. It's great to see everyone come along with their children, friends and family members. They get a nice spot in the sun, throw out a rug, get out the picnic basket and enjoy the day."
The Be You Collection: storybooks for kids
There is currently a lack of children's picture storybooks that challenge the norms. Only a minority of children are currently able to see themselves in stories, whilst excluding those whose hobbies and desires break away from gender stereotypes.
Welcome, The Be You Collection: a series of children's books celebrating the importance of individuality. This collection will publish stories about little boys and girls (and anyone in between) as they find strength in their special talents. This collection will tell the stories that have historically been ignored.
These stories will champion the underdogs, the ones who feel ashamed to express themselves freely, and the ones who feel like they'd have to change in order to fit in.
This collection will teach children that love and acceptance comes in many shapes, colours, sizes and dreams. The Be You Collection aims to be a tool that can be used to teach understanding, as well as the importance of embracing one's true self.

text: When Gwinnett schools are closed due to inclement weather, students make up the day with a designated day on the school calendar. For 2016–17, three make-up days were designated— Feb. 10, March 10, and March 31. New this year, if an additional make-up day is needed (or the cancellation occurs after the designated days), then students would continue instruction for an online Cyber Learning Day, with teachers posting assignments on their eCLASS course pages and students accessing instruction and activities from home through their MYeCLASS account. Teachers would communicate due dates for the day's lessons and activities. Children without Internet access at home would receive alternative assignments or time at school to complete their work. On Cyber Learning Days, teachers would be available online to support students during regular school hours. The online learning day would be used only if all make-up days are used or have passed. Any unused inclement weather make-up days will be student holidays. Because GCPS had not yet used an inclement weather day, the first scheduled make-up day, Feb. 10, was a student holiday.

Six Myths (and Realities) of Online Learning
Online and blended learning are being embraced by many schools and states, as discussed in our recent reports Why Do Students Choose Blended and Online Schools? and Teaching with Technology: Educators' Perspectives and Recommendations for Successful Blended Instructional Strategies. Despite the growth of online and blended learning—and even though digital learning has been offered in schools for decades—several myths surrounding its benefits and challenges persist. Educators who are experienced with digital learning understand most of these myths to be incorrect, but they persist in the media among both advocates and critics. This post attempts to dispel six of the most common misconceptions, adding a dose of reality to each. Read on to see if you've heard (or have bought into) any of the following ideas, or feel free to share your own in the comments section below.
Myth #1 Digital learning is exploding, and private companies are driving the adoption of online and blended learning.
Reality Digital learning is growing, but not 'exploding,' and is being driven just as much by innovative schools, districts, and states as by private providers.
Good data is hard to find, which is why the 'exploding' narrative is so often accepted without challenge. But a recent NCES report suggests that only 21% of US high schools offer online courses, which hardly seems like the outcome of fast growth two decades after online courses were first introduced. Similarly, the population of students attending fully online schools appea rs to be somewhere around 500,000, and growing at single-digit rates.
Private providers supply a mix of online courses, teachers, content, and technology. But the large majority of online and blended learning is in schools operated through traditional structures, or in nonprofit charter schools.
Myth #2 Teachers are being replaced by technology.
Reality There is no sign that technology is replacing or will never replace teachers, despite its advances. In Evergreen's 17 years of working in this field, we have seen no sustainable, scalable examples of education technology without teachers being extensively involved in critical roles.
Myth #3 Students are comfortable with technology and want to learn with it.
Reality Their 'comfort' with technology isn't always educationally appropriate.
Students overall tend to be comfortable with technology, but often they are not familiar with how to use technology for learning. It's one thing to watch videos on your tablet; it's another to learn from that video, to take notes, to stop it and practice math problems, or ponder ideas.
Schools implementing digital learning usually find they must orient students to learning with technology. And it's not just the standard concerns about appropriate use—which aren't primarily a digital learning issue—it's about how to really engage and learn.
Myth #4 Cheating is easy in an online class. Online learning is easy.
Reality Online is one modality of learning that can be harder, easier, or the same level of difficulty as face-to-face instruction. There is nothing inherently easier or harder about online learning, face-to-face instruction, or blended learning.
Some online and blended learning programs have received reputations for being easy, especially some credit recovery programs. But making these easier than they should be serves nobody well, including students.
Cheating is easier in an online class if the assessments are based on answers that are easily found in Google searches. If that's the case, it's a failure of good instructional design, not a failure of online learning.
Myth #5 Taking online courses in high school will negatively impact my college application.
Reality This is becoming an outdated view as an increasing number of colleges offer their own online course and so many post-secondary institutions want students who can stand out and contribute in a variety of educational environments.
Students' experience with online coursework demonstrates that; it also shows that they've committed to learning by challenging themselves through non-traditional courses.
Myth #6 Digital learning will save money.
Reality This is a fairly common view—but the evidence doesn't support it, or at least it is mixed.
This is partly because the initial investments are expensive. Computers, learning management systems, digital content, and initial professional development are all expensive., and all have upkeep costs.
But most importantly, remember how teachers are central to digital learning? Well, teachers also happen to be a major cost of education. In fact, people—teachers and administrators, but mostly teachers—represent the main cost, because they aren't 'scalable'—and they shouldn't be.
Yes, there may be cost savings in some online and blended programs. But anyone who begins such a program with a main goal of saving money in the absence of goals related to improving student outcomes is likely to hurt student performance in the short run, and lose money in the long run.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Unser größter Ruhm besteht nicht darin, niemals zu fallen, sondern jedes Mal, wenn wir fallen, wieder aufzustehen.
❤ How do you use a mantra?
It's very simple. Repeat the mantra in a continuous loop whenever you want to replace negative thoughts about yourself or your life with positive ones. The continuous loop makes sure that you stop brooding, and so there's just NO SPACE for negative thoughts anymore.
Just give it a try, I would be happy if it is as helpful to you as it is to me!

The Prince and the Pauper
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Mark Twain
Narrated By: Steve West
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Date: August 2011
Duration: 7 hours 28 minutes
They look alike, but they live in very different worlds. Tom Canty, impoverished and abused by his father, is fascinated with royalty. Edward Tudor, heir to the throne of England, is kind and generous but wants to run free and play in the river—just once. How insubstantial their differences truly are becomes clear when a chance encounter leads to an exchange of clothing—and roles. The pauper finds himself caught up in the pomp and folly of the royal court, a role which is further complicated when the king dies soon after the switch; and the prince wanders horror-stricken through the lower strata of English society.
Out of the theme of switched identities, Mark Twain fashioned both a fiery assault upon social hypocrisy and injustice and a riotous comedy filled with high-spirited play.
"Twain was…enough of a genius to build his morality into his books, with humor and wit and—in the case of The Prince and the Pauper—wonderful plotting."—E. L. Doctorow, award-winning American novelist

} Europe rises in quiet trade Hong Kong sheds 1.5%; Japan closed by Gareth Vaughan, CBS MarketWatch Last Update: Latest currency rates
LONDON (CBS.MW) -- Europe's markets rose Wednesday in quiet trading while investors squared up their year-end portfolios.
Many have decided to look on the bright side of recent events, determining for instance that U.S. president Bill Clinton will in fact keep his office. The market is also still banking on more mergers and acquisitions to bolster prices.
London's FTSE 100 index was up 48.30 pointsat 5,891.60 Frankfurt's Xetra DAX was up 2 percent, or 99.15 points, at 4,978.62; and the Paris CAC 40 was up1.3 percent, or 49.80 points at 3,870.30.
In Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 index was closed for the emperors birthday holiday Wednesday. Meanwhile, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index lost 1.59 percent, or 163.81 points to close at 10,158.75.
In the U.S. on Tuesday the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.21% closed up 55.61 points at 9,044.46.
More M&A speculation
Merger and acquisition rumors swirled around Europe's automotive sector Wednesday. One story, appearing in Stockholm's Dagens Industri, suggested that Ford Motor Co. (F) F, +1.86% and Sweden's Volvo are going to hook up in a merger. At one point, Volvo's shares rose as much as 11 percent. Separately, Germany's BMW denied that it is considering a merger with Ford.
Analysts, meanwhile, said the current spate of merger and acquisition activity is likely to continue. "We've seen mergers and acquisitions in oils, autos, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and engineering," said Richard Batty, London-based global strategist at HSBC Securities. "All the big deals have been in industries which are under pricing pressure. They [the companies] want to improve their pricing power and cut costs by becoming bigger," he added.
Meanwhile, the market determined that Britain's General Electric Company (GEC-LS) GEC-LS is preparing for a merger after it said Tuesday that it plans to spin off its defence arm. GEC's shares are up 1.1 percent, or 6 pence at 542. Press reports have continued to link GEC with British Aerospace (BA-LS) ba-ls . BAe's stocks were down 4.5 pence at 520.
Little surprise from ECB, Fed meetings
The markets, meanwhile, were unruffled by the outcome of Tuesday's meetings of the European Central Bank and the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee. The Fed left the key federal funds rate at 4.75 percent and the discount rate at 4.5 percent. Meanwhile the ECB, confirmed Tuesday that it will set eurozone interest rates at 3 percent on Jan. 1, and that it won't be cutting that rate anytime soon.
However, some analysts remain hopeful the ECB will cut interest rates in the first quarter of 1999 because low interest rates are needed to stimulate the economy. On Tuesday, the ECB's president Wim Duisenburg, said the eurozone is at the mercy of uncertainties dogging the world economy.

Chive grown acodstomed to her plaice… She almost makes the meal begin…
The following post contains affiliate links, which means that at no extra cost to you we can make a tiny bit of money to help support this blog. Thank you!
Welcome to our fourth recipe inspired by the fabulous musical and movie: My Fair Lady! Other offerings include Av'Cado Danced All Night, Get Me To The Chicken on Thyme and With A Little Bit of Duck!
The famously "Rexed" song I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face is sung by Professor Higgins as he starts to fall for Eliza in his own special way.
Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!
I've grown accustomed to her face
She almost makes the day begin
I've grown accustomed to the tune that
She whistles night and noon
It's an unusual love song, because he is simultaneously trying to convince himself that he doesn't need her in his life, and imagines how she'll be without him. It's *exactly* like trying to decide whether to make fishcakes out of one or two types of fish.
(Really? Quit with the tenuous segues and let's get on with it … Ed)
Awesome, thanks! Here's a link to a video of this song sung by Kermit in a wig.
(<slaps forehead> OK. And the recipe? …Ed)
I thought you'd never ask! This is a real bung-it-all-in, whizz-it-up type recipe. Form the mixture into fishcakes, fry them up, and enjoy.
And yet

The Championship Darts Circuit dates and venues were revealed this week as the the CDC move into their fiifth year of existence. The Championship Darts Corporation (CDC) have been growing in popularity year-on-year, and 2018 was a breakthrough year for the CDC as the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) awarded two spots at the 2019 William Hill World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace in London.
Additionally, the PDC also awarded a spot to the winner of the North American Championship over in Las Vegas, the news of the three qualifying spots came as a pleasant suprise to the the CDC and the four partners behind the organisation. Peter Citera, the Chief executive officer was fortunate enough to travel to the UK to cheer on Chuck Puleo (USA) and Jim Long (Canada) who qualified as the top ranked players on the 2018 CDC Tour as the top ranked Canadian and the top ranked American. Jeff Smith of course took the North American Champion spot, but for Puleo and Long, they battled through five tough weekends over 10 events to qualify for the biggest tournament in World darts.
The 2018 Magic Darts Championship Darts Circuit was a roaring success, and to be recognised by the PDC just sort of highlights how well the CDC are progressing as a darts corporation. And with six different winners out of ten events on the Magic Darts Championship Darts Circuit in 2018, again it highlights the quality of play that the CDC has in it's events. Gary Mawson, Leonard Gates (3), Chuck Puleo (3), Darin Young (2), Nick Linberg and three-time World champion John Part all picked up titles in 2018, and 2019 looks set to be even better.
And with Puleo and Long doing the USA and Canada proud at the 2019 William Hill World Darts Championship, and the pair will have certainly inspired more of the USA and Canada's best players to come and give the Championship Darts Circuit a go. Also, the CDC's Junior Tour and Evolution Tour has also been a roaring success.
Gavin Nicoll (pictured) was victorious on the CDC Junior Tour in 2018, and it it opened all kinds of doors of opportunity for the 17-year old from Ohio, who's father Timmy is a tour-card holder on the Championship Darts Circuit Tour. Nicoll went on to represent the USA at the Junior Darts Corporation (JDC) World Cup in Bristol, England. Nicoll also partipated at the World Junior Darts Championship on the same weekend alongside Joey Lynaugh, Jamison Merritt and Conner Zarazoga.
As for the Evolution Tour, Nicoll also went on to reach the grand final, but he was defeated by Ontario's Keifer Durham who had an excellent 2018 on the Evolution Tour in what was his final year on that particular tour. So, with the dates and venues revealed for 2019, it's most certainly an exciting time for everyone involved at the Championship Darts Corporation. So, featured below are the dates and venues for 2019.

With your concern, when you upgrade from PRO to UNLIMITED, the charge is prorated based on the difference in price and the number of days remaining in the billing cycle according to Shopify Policy.
For example:
- You begin a 30-day billing cycle on a PRO plan, which is $9.00, and then upgrade to an UNLIMITED plan, which is $14.90 plan on day 10 of the billing cycle.
=> You'd be charged ($14.90 - $9.00) * ((30-10)/30) = $3.93.
- Simply, you upgrade from PRO to UNLIMITED on the same day, you'll be charged for the difference $5.90 only.

Southern Anchorage Summer Wedding | Matthew & Merritt
Matthew and Merritt were wed nearly one week ago before their family and close friends at the historic Emmet Logan House in Anchorage, Kentucky.
The wedding fit them so perfectly. Full of family and friends and a joyful ease of celebration, which is a nod to Matthew's personality. Lots of pink and gold, with bold and bright, southern touches; all of Merritt's likes on display. All of the children in their families were included, the younger girls even had a choreographed song made up about their 'Mimi'.
Thankfully this isn't my first (nor last!) experience with Merritt's family. If there's anything I have to say about the Swishers it's that they love people well and everyone is family. The bonds amongst them were palpable in this day. It can certainly get a bit boisterous and wild at times, but they're the most enjoyable folks to work with.
Ellie, Merritt's cousin and maid of honor gifted a book full of hand-written letters from each of the Swisher women. We had a little first look for the young Swisher girls, which didn't seem to curb the tears they shed during the ceremony. At two separate times, I took a peek at the bridal party during the ceremony and two of her junior bridesmaids were sobbing. So sweet. Merritt's brother, Marky, was the best man to Matthew and had the most lovely thing to say about marrying his sister off to his best friend. So much joy and history amongst their people.
At a few points throughout the day, we were reminded that this southern wedding was over 7 years in the works. These two high-school sweethearts were a joy to celebrate with, despite the hot and steamy July temps.
Matthew and Merritt, hope ya'll have had the best honeymoon and that I'll get to be an honorary Swisher, if only by photographic abilities for many years to come. Will be such a joy to watch your family grow.

It was like a scene from a movie.
That is how a young man described a traumatic ordeal on Monday morning when his family's secluded Christ Church home was invaded by armed men and an elderly relative attacked.
Jonathan Norgrove told Barbados TODAY that around 9:10 a.m, two dreadlocked men wearing shades, white T-shirts and jeans came to his home knocking, claiming they were representing the National Housing Corporation (NHC).
When his mother, who is in her 60s, unlocked the door, Norgrove said, they yanked it open, hit her in her head a few times and one man held her while the other cuffed her in the face.
"He was saying 'put something in she mouth' because she wouldn't stop screaming to alert me, my sister and the French exchange student that is staying with us," said Norgrove who spoke on behalf of the family and asked that the names of his relatives not be published.
He said he was still asleep at that point, but he was told that while one man continued to wrestle with his mother, the other ventured into the house where he spotted the French exchange student running.
"Just as he saw that he sees my sister who had opened her bedroom door to see what was happening and then he points the gun at her and says 'don't move or I will shoot'. So then my sister shut the door and locked it and he ran up to it and kicked the door. My sister jumped out her window and took her cellular phone and called the police," Norgrove said.
He said the man then followed the French student who ran into his bedroom, waking him. The student closed the door behind her and used what little English she knew to inform Norgrove that intruders were in the house.
"I ran to the door, locked it and put my back to it and then I heard the guy banging on it saying 'open the door'. So then I yelled 'get out of our house'. My sister who was calling the police outside was talking very loudly on her phone and then the dude heard that and ran back outside," he said.
Norgrove said the other man was still trying to shove something into his mother's mouth, but she was still screaming and trying to fight him off but he eventually ran off as well.
"My mother had a bump on her head and her neck was scratched up. Her mouth was bloody as well . . . Now she is saying she is feeling a soreness in her ribs," the son continued.
Norgrove said he was thankful no life was lost during the ordeal and was grateful to police for responding to the scene quickly.
He took to social media after the incident to talk about the ordeal and to put people on guard.
"It is dangerous now. You have to look out because you never know who is genuine," he said.
Police public relations Assistant Superintendent David Welch confirmed the crime was being investigated.

Summer With TR Hoover
This year's Theme: Digging into the Technology Learning Garden
TR Hoover's Summer Camp gave students an experience they will never forget.
We had weekly field trips to places like the Crayola Factory and SeaWorld in San Antonio. We also had enrichment activities like making slime, learning about different cultures, and mentorship.
We had over 40 students learning over the summer and it was all possible thanks to the many partners that offered their time, services, and donations.
In addition to our normal summer camp fun we've added a new program; the technology learning garden. In partnership with HAK Electronics, we taught the students about coding and how it related to the garden. Students measured the temperature, humidity, and soil moisture while learning terminology like microcontrollers and circuits.
We're dedicated to building the ideal community and making sure our students have exposure to as many different careers and opportunities as possible.

By Paul Conatzer @Toffeepaul.com
-Everton have drawn Rotherham United in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
-Ties start on August 27th.
-Everton were knocked out in the fourth round by Chelsea last season.
-Manchester City are the holders.
Everton are one of the 13 Premier League teams entering at the second round stage. Teams involved in European competition get byes until the third round. The draw is split into North and South.
There will be no extra time in the ties. Games that finish even after 90 minutes will go straight to a penalty shootout. VAR will be used at ties played at Premier League Grounds.
There is still a space in the Everton Trophy Case for this cup. The Blues have reached the finals twice, losing both after replays. To Aston Villa in 1977 and Liverpool in 1984. Memories of the referee missing a clear handball on the line by Alan Hansen in the final at Wembley still have Everton fans muttering obscenities. That game finished 0-0 and a Graham Souness goal in the replay at Maine Road gave the Red side of Merseyside the trophy.
A much happier memory from that cup run is Adrian Heath scoring after intercepting a Kevin Brock back pass to give Everton, a scarcely deserved reply against giant-killers Oxford United. The back-pass has gone into Everton folklore as the trigger for the successful run which saw them win four trophies in four seasons under Howard Kendall.
Everton last reached the semi-final in 2016, but failed to make a 2-1 first leg advantage hold up against Manchester City, despite a goal from Ross Barkley extend the advantage to 3-1 on aggregate. However, City ended up winning 3-1 and going through to the final, 4-3 on aggregate.

life lately: wintry mix and frosty weather
Naomi has been ecstatic about the weather the last few days... as we have had our first bout of cold, winter weather. Unfortunately we have not gotten a ton of snow, but enough for Naomi to play in and explore.
After several dark gray days, this morning was clear and crisp. And on our morning walk, I was particularly struck by the beautiful frost outlines on all the plants.

Paul Dabdoub Ministries - November 24th, 2013 (testimony shared from his website which is found on our TGN connections page)
Yesterday, we were asked to bring our spiritual readings(prophetic)/healing tent to Balboa Park while a Christian event was going on in Balboa Park.
The very place where the event was going on was the site where Aimee Semple McPherson's healing ministry was launched. We were super excited to be there to reach out to the curiosity seekers who were passing by and through the outdoor event.
Lots of stuff happened – healings, etc., and I haven't even gotten the chance to hear all the stuff from our team members.
Best story for me personally was a group of 4 Buddhists who stumbled upon us. They were so intrigued that we could hear from God and about healing.
One by one, God gave us some crazy downloads about them – stuff that was just cutting straight to their hearts. Each one just melted under the love of God. Two of them were crying; another one was pretty close. For brevity, I won't give details of the words, but they went deeper than we even realized.
One of the ladies – the matriarch of the group – said, "I don't understand it. I'm very logical. I'm a chemist, so I think very logically about everything that's presented to me. But as soon as you started speaking I felt this presence, and then I realize that I have tears streaming down my cheeks."
And we said, "That's the encounter with Jesus. And that's what we live for is to bring people into an encounter with Him."
We asked if we could pray a blessing over them and the presence of God came even stronger. One of the ladies was instantly healed of shoulder pain.
Afterwards we explained that we're not gifted readers or healers. This is the result of relationship with God through Jesus. And that the Presence they are feeling right now is what He's offering them permanently. And that we understand how some of the teachings are similar between different religions, but that Jesus came because God actually wanted us personally. And rather than just praying or trying to do the right thing, God actually wants us to have access to Him personally and to know Him.
At the end, we got to share contact info. You always want to see someone come fully into relationship when you're that close and His presence is so strong. But Holy Spirit does a good job with people in process. And it's so important not to overstep Him by just trying to get someone to pray the prayer.
We'll keep you posted as we hear more from these guys.
Jesus is really, really good! (below is a picture of the actual tent we set up and me ministering to another person)

Jojoba oil is very similar in composition to the human nutritive skin oils and has antimicrobial properties. It is an excellent moisturizer and is ideal for all skin types. It contains myristic acid which has anti-inflammatory properties. It was also found that it softens and smoothes the skin with fine line reduction. Jojoba oil is a rich source of Vitamin E, which is an excellent

Hazelnut Oil (Corylus avellana)
Ancient Greek and Chinese manuscripts dating back thousands of years reveal that hazelnuts were considered sacred food. Hazelnut oil made from cold pressed hazelnuts. Hazelnut oil leaves a luxurious, silky feel on the skin and it is very easily absorbed, leaving no oily residue. It also contains nutritive Vitamin E, B and minerals. Vitamin E protects the cells from damage by free radicals by neutralizing them. It is thought to help produce new elastin and collagen fibers.
Sea Buckthorn Oil (Hippophae rhamnoides)
Super fruit, Sea Buckthorn is a hardy, cold-climate plant originating from the mountains of China and Russia. It produces berries that are loaded with Vitamin C, E, folate, carotenoids, flavonoids and fatty acids. Sea Buckthorn oil is a source of herbal
medicines, vitamins and nutrients recognized around the world. The oil is extracted from the seeds or the pulp of the fruit, both of which are extremely high in fatty acids. It is known as a super fruit for its wonderful healing properties. The numerous benefits of Sea Buckthorn oil have caused it to be used as one of the basic ingredients of traditional folk medicine throughout time.
Squalane Oil (Olive)
Olive Squalane is a highly refined pure vegetable Squalane made from Olive oil. Olive Squalane can help to replenish the nutritive levels of lipids lost through the normal aging process. It helps to restore a more youthful appearance and resistance to aging conditions. Squalane's hydrating and skin-softening effects on the skin help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It is rapidly absorbed without leaving an oily or greasy feeling. Squalane is a nutritive part of human skin and plays an important role in the repair of damaged or aging skin.
Carrot Seed Oil (Daucus carota)
Carrot seed oil has a long and marked history of its benefits. The nutritive healing properties of carrot seed oil were discovered thousands of years ago in ancient Greece and India. The oil is extracted from dried carrot seeds by way of steam extraction,
which preserves its essential nutrients. The oil has a high level of antioxidants that may help to prevent damage and slow the aging process caused by free radicals. It is high in essential fatty acids, phytosterols and is one of the highest nutritive sources

Let me preface this by saying I love my church. I love our community outreach programs, I love our social events, I love the casseroles at the social events — I love all of it.
I have went to my church since the day I was born. I have sat in the same row, shook hands with the same people, and sang the same songs for 18 years. Everyone knows everyone and their first cousin, too — but as you know by some of my other posts — that's just how small town life works.
I didn't think much of my routine. From the inside looking out, it appears to be so easy to jump in and get involved. And although I feel like there are always a multitude of opportunities for new folks to participate in, it's not that simple.
Sunday morning, mom woke up with it on her heart to go somewhere new. We got ready, drove about ten miles past the turnoff for our church, and parked in a parking lot we had only parked in for weddings and showers. Smiling faces greeted us and shook our hands as they handed us a bulletin. We snuck in and sat in the back row. I waved across the room at plenty of familiar faces, I listened as folks I knew sang the morning hymns, I hugged those that knew me and told me I looked "just like my momma".
Even around those I knew, I still felt out of place. Now that's nothing against the church — it's a wonderful church. I thoroughly enjoyed the music, the message, and the company. The point I'm trying to make is that it wasn't my routine, and it felt so strange. (Even though we all know how I feel about routines.)
Afterwards, when we got back in the car, my mom said why I think it was on her heart that morning to be a visitor: "Now we know how people feel when they visit our church."
Imagine it: there's a new face in the pews. They might be nervous they've taken someone's usual spot. In fact, they have taken someone's usual spot — yours. They have woken up, got dressed in their Sunday best, and drove the distance to be there at that church, when most of the time they sleep in. Maybe they're there because they were invited, or maybe they were curious. Maybe a baby in the family is being dedicated or maybe they lost someone special and didn't know where else to turn. But bottom line is they're new here. Being at that church on a Sunday morning is out of their routine, although it's exactly in line with yours.
In Luke 14:12-14, it is written, "Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
It never hurts to be hospitable. Chat with them, give them a hug, let them know they're welcomed. Let them know they're not just welcomed — they're wanted. This isn't something they will assume, it's something they need to be told.
I wouldn't have known this if I had stayed in my routine Sunday morning. This is why I visited a new church. This is why you should too.

Hi everyone the weekend is shaping to be a nice weekend to hit the creeks and rivers with great tides and winds around the 15 knots cooling things down a little throughout the day.
Freshwater, Creeks, Rivers & Beaches
Reports have been good with plenty of Barra and Jacks willing to take lure and baits. With larger lures and live baits seem to be the preferred options for the Barra at the moment. The Barra are a little spread out at the moment so don't be afraid to do a bit of moving around to find them. Vibe style lure have also been working well with some nice thread fin salmon being caught while jigging the deeper holes through the creeks and river around Townsville.
Don't forget the crab pots the reports have been good in recent weeks with some reports of 3 and 4 bucks per pot from some of the local creeks with the incoming tide tending to produce the better catches.
Offshore & Bay
The last couple of days have been nice out on the bay in the mornings with flat conditions allowing for most to get out and fish the pylons and headlands. There was a bunch of squid around Orchard Rock at the back of Maggie earlier in the week with those fishing the area reporting nice catches using squid jigs.
There has also been some nice fingermark captures in recent days with some nice fish being caught around the some area, Cape Cleveland and the Shipping Pylons.
The bays inside the Cape have been producing some nice grunter in recent weeks with fish working up into the shallows during the incoming night tides.
Offshore the reports have been good from those that have managed to sneak out with good nannygai catches on the inshore shoals.
Bit of a slow week this week unfortunately with the wind and waves making a lot of the local water dirty resulting in very low visibility for the most part. Speaking with a couple of Maggie Island lads over the weekend and they said that they have seen a BOOM in the crayfish population around the Island. Although decent vis was had to come by with a bit of persistence and moving from bay to bay (in search of vis) they were rewarded with a really good feed of crays. Next week the weather is looking prime for a day off mid-week, if you were in the market for a new set of fins, tackle world Townsville have recently been re-stocked with Penetrator and Dive R carbon and composite blades with a variety of foot pockets to match, come in and check out our range before your next dive trip. As always, if you are out and about, dive safe and never take more than you need. Cheers all,

Roi Carmeli
Roi Carmeli (b. 1982 in Tel-Aviv, Israel) lives and works in Glasgow, Scotland. He Graduated with distinction a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem (2010) and a Master of Fine Arts with Merit from the Glasgow School of Art (2015).
In his work, Carmeli links present times to early civilisations, reconnecting humans and bridging the modern day singularities defined by race, nations, or states. His curiosity at the fragility of memory, the nature of time, spatial rhythm, and movement is conveyed through the use of sculpture and audiovisual Narratives. He distinctively uses sound not as background, but as a tangible material in and of itself.
Solo shows include: Don't forget to bring me back, Project Room, Glasgow, Scotland (2010); Video works: Some Thing Spacious, Oakland, U.S.A (2014), curated by Adam Carlin and Erich Richter; Vulcan, 'H'hanot' gallery, Tel Aviv, Israel, (2011), curated by Rani Lavi.

Holy Wave
Holy Wave touches on the connection between art and ritual; a connection less obvious today, as art becomes increasingly self-reflective, and religious rituals abide by rules stemming from years of unchanged worship. It remains essential, however, in understanding art's role in contemporary society and spiritual life.
The artists view the art object as charged with power; a combination of intention and action; of emotions and thoughts that cannot be separated from material and labour.
Supported by WAVEparticle as part of the award-winning Laurieston Art Strategy: Open Spaces.

The changing of seasons from dreary winter to bright spring sparks the need to freshen up your home and bring in some color to wake up your space. Decorating your fireplace mantel is a great way to make a seasonal statement and create a design focal point in your home.
Drape Garlands From The Mantel
Fringe trim is a simple mantel garland that packs a big style punch. You can have fringe trim cut by the yard at any fabric store, or you can order it online. Use a variety of neutral and light colors to bring a festive air to your mantel. Overlap them to create a dimensional and not-so-perfect look.
Create a Seasonal Backdrop
DIY Floral Panel Tutorial:
Measure out your fabric by placing the foam core on the fabric. Cut the fabric to size, leaving a two inch border around the foam core.
Fold the border up and attach to foam core using duct tape. Go slow on this part, smoothing the fabric and tightly pulling it as you go.
Create a backdrop by leaning the floral panels on your mantel.
Nothing says spring like floral accents. You can create your own custom floral panels to feature on your mantel as layering accents.
To create floral panels, you'll need some floral fabric, pieces of foam core cut to size, and duct tape.
Layer Art
Layer on additional artwork that reminds you of spring and complements the color scheme of the floral panels. Word art can be a great addition, like this quote that plays off the colorful nature of spring.
Group Vases of Greenery
Bring life to your mantel (literally) with some green clippings from your yard. Vary the sizes of your vases and containers to add dimension to your mantel.
Now your mantel is filled with personality and styled for spring. Sit back with a nice glass of iced tea and enjoy!

West Virginia seceded, or broke away, from the state of Virginia in 1863 at the height of the Civil War to become its own state, the 35th to ratify the United States Constitution. West Virginia's boundaries are the Ohio River and state of Ohio to the west, the southwestern corner of Pennsylvania to the north and east, western Maryland along the Eastern Panhandle, Virginia to the south and east and Kentucky to the southwest. West Virginia is somewhat geographically diverse, but for the most part lies within the Appalachian mountain range. The Eastern Panhandle, which contains Martinsburg and Harpers Ferry, is complemented by a second "panhandle", the narrower Northern Panhandle, within which lies the city of Wheeling. State capital Charleston is a transition between the Appalachians and the Ohio Valley, and is served by its own river, the Kanawha. Beckley serves as a southern hub for the state, and Huntington a gateway into Kentucky. Elkins, meanwhile, is a fair representation of West Virginia's "mountain country". The Greenbrier in the middle of the state is a popular winter skiing destination. Morgantown to the north is the home of the West Virginia University.
Interstates in West Virginia include Interstate 64, which makes up a Huntington-Charleston-Beckley corridor, as well as Interstate 77, which is the West Virginia Turnpike for most of its length through the state. I-64 and I-77 run concurrent between Beckley and Charleston. Interstate 79 has its southern terminus at Charleston, and runs up past Clarksburg, Fairmont and Morgantown before crossing into Pennsylvania en route to Pittsburgh and Erie. Interstate 68 connects Morgantown to western Maryland, Interstate 70 bisects Wheeling, and Interstate 81 runs through Berkeley County and Martinsburg in the Eastern Panhandle. West Virginia's U.S. Routes include the fairly new U.S. Route 48, formally Appalachian Corridor H, which along with U.S. Route 50 forms a southern border for the Eastern Panhandle. U.S. 50 has two segments within West Virginia: one between the Ohio border near Parkersburg and Maryland's westernmost border, and the other from its temporary emergence from Maryland to the Virginia line just west of Winchester. U.S. Route 19 is a feeder for I-79. U.S. Route 250 is a northern corridor through the state, and U.S. Route 33 a central one. U.S. Route 219 runs along the eastern edge of the state.

The Moral Machine (MIT Media Lab)
A twenty-first century adaptation of the Trolley Problem:
"From self-driving cars on public roads to self-piloting reusable rockets landing on self-sailing ships, machine intelligence is supporting or entirely taking over ever more complex human activities at an ever increasing pace. The greater autonomy given machine intelligence in these roles can result in situations where they have to make autonomous choices involving human life and limb. This calls for not just a clearer understanding of how humans make such choices, but also a clearer understanding of how humans perceive machine intelligence making such choices."

Unsurpassed flexibility and safety
Unsurpassed flexibility and safety
Vattenfall's 80 turbines at Denmark's Horns Rev 1 offshore wind farm can be serviced in even the heaviest seas. Helihoist platforms made of GRP composite supplied by Fiberline enable the turbines to be accessed in almost all weathers. And after eight years in the North Sea they have demonstrated unrivalled durability.
The Vattenfall control centre in Esbjerg looks after almost 1000 wind turbines. These include the 80 turbines of the Horns Rev 1 offshore wind farm which is some 15 km west of Denmark. Manned 24/7, the control centre continuously monitors all turbine operating data and can start and stop the turbines at the push of a button.
The Esbjerg control centre also despatches service engineers to carry out turbine repairs and maintenance.
"We regularly airlift out personnel by helicopter and lower them onto the helihoist platforms. In waves more than five or six feet high, access by sea is no longer an option and the only way in is by helicopter. We have an agreement with a local company which always has a helicopter on standby," says Vattenfall's Carsten Hyldgaard Nielsen.
Safer than crossing the road
When the wind farm was established in 2002 it was decided to equip all the turbines with Fiberline helihoists. Corrosion resistance, combined with low weight and high strength, meant that the GRP composite was chosen ahead of aluminium and other materials. Vattenfall has never had cause to regret this decision.
"We are very happy with this solution. GRP composite offers excellent service life, and we've experienced no headaches at all with Fiberline's helihoists. They provide us with day to day flexibility without compromising on safety. I'd say that using Fiberline helihoists is safer than crossing the road," says Carsten Hyldgaard Nielsen.
More than 15,000 trips
Helicopters have flown out to the Horns Rev 1 wind farm more than 15,000 times. With a flight time of just 45 minutes, airlifting offers considerable time savings on travel by sea. Fiberline's 4 x 4m helihoists have a maximum load specification of 300 kgs, which is ample for two service engineers.
Horns Rev 1
The offshore wind farm comprises 80 turbines with a total capacity of 160 MW. Built in 2002 by Elsam Kraft, the wind farm is today owned by Vattenfall (60%) and DONG Energy (40%).
Horns Rev 1 can produce enough electricity for the needs of 150,000 households, or the equivalent of almost 2% of total Danish electricity consumption. Total construction cost was approx. 2 bnDKK.

Important Health Advisory
Due to recent outbreaks of measles, in consultation with Brown University's Health Services and General Counsel's Office, Pre-College Programs and Sports Camps are prohibiting any student or athlete from attending these programs if they have not completed the measles vaccinations.
This decision was made because of the structure of the summer programs: measles is a highly infectious disease that can incubate for two weeks before any symptoms appear. Given that many of our students and athletes are present on campus from anywhere from 1 day to 3 weeks, and then depart, the opportunities for this disease to be spread within and beyond our community is significant enough to warrant this kind of decision.
Brown University Sports Camps are open to any and all entrants that meet the listed eligibility requirements for each camp.

Home Health & Hospice Staffing
Everyone you need, all in one place
Does your home health or hospice care agency need occasional supplemental staff to cover patients in out of the way areas? Request a contract with TT Medical for complete home health and hospice staffing and never miss out on another patient due to staffing limitations again
Everywhere you expect, and some places you didnt
At TT Medical, we put a lot of emphases on recruiting the best in all areas, not only highly demanded ones. We pinpoint the best talents, and strive to constantly grow through southern California, Texas, Illinois, Nevada and many more locations.
Numbers speak for themselves
We strive to provide Home Health Agencies, Hospice Agencies and Hospitals with the best services possible. Just like our customers, we do this by constantly analyzing our performance and planning improvement exercises. Our office staff are highly trained in their positions and the industry as a whole
Every day home health and hospice agencies struggle with field staff retention. Rising payroll costs, constant regulation changes and referrals in unpredictable areas make it almost impossible to stay both compliant and profitable.
So what's an agency to do? Well you have 2 options:
Directly hire field staff (compliance) OR use a staffing agency (profitability).
But there's a catch... good direct field staff are hard to come by. They're usually expensive, don't cover every area, and require a lot of management. Staffing agencies can cover more territory but the field staff quality is usually significantly lower and coordinating with field staff is slowed down due to a middle man.
Now what? Now TT Medical.
Top rated home health and hospice agencies around the country work with us for a reason.
Actually it's a few reasons, and here they are:
Highly Trained Field Staff TT Medical field staff are properly trained in home health regulations, bedside manner and documentation so you get a home health professional, every time.
Knowledgable Office Personnel Our office staff are also trained in home health regulations, documentation standards and billing requirements so the trained licensed professionals in the field are managed by trained professionals in the office.
An Eye on the Future Since we're also a consulting company, we are always up to date with new and upcoming regulations. We're also in tune with what surveyors are looking for. This means the staff you use through us will keep you compliant, always.
All of this means your patients and your charts are taken care of. And all of that means:
Compliance AND Profitability
That's rare.
It's rare because few companies take the effort to be great. But we do and so do you. And here's how we help you be greater:
Less time and money spent on field staff management We know the rules and we enforce them for you.
Less time and money spent on field staff coordination You tell us once and it gets done.
Less time and money spent on documentation follow up Notes come within the legal 7 day grace period.
Less time and money spent on HR maintenance We maintain, update and send you credentials on time, every time.
Less time and money spent on staffing We staff all disciplines so you don't have to turn down patients due to non-coverage.
Let's be honest. No one likes having to do continuing education for license requirements. But as a responsible clinician (who likes having a license) it's just an annoying, time consuming fact of life.
Well guess what, Super Clinician! TT Medical offers CE classes ONLINE, with immediate certificate print, for a low annual membership!

If there's one thing I can always count on is getting a good sweat when I work with this fellow. Out of all the Trainers, I have to say SAGI is one of my favourites. My husband finds him very annoying but Hey, who's doing the workout here? When you find someone who motivates you and gets you laughing and enjoying then I don't see how that can be a bad thing right? So today was Bulk Back, and I'm proud to say that fighting my cold I was able to push myself a little bit more today and actually increased my weight. It feels so good when you see progress, I didn't step on a scale, I didn't even measure myself, what progress I noticed is that I could increase my weight and complete a whole set of reps without having to stop. That's progress, even for this old girl!
Next week is my final week of this program and it's flown so fast. But it's been a really good change in my routine. I'm contemplating doing another round, but I do miss my cardio and my running. I'm thinking I need to get a New( or Newly used ) Treadmill or Excercise Bike. I hate going to the gym to pay a membership and have to drive all the way into town. So I thought about getting a bike or treadmill for the house. Now here's the dilemma, I mentioned to my husband about getting either a treadmill or Excercise bike. He said " if you get a bike, I'll probably use it too" so do I get a bike and know that he might use it once or twice or do I get a treadmill and continue with my training for the spring Marathon. UGH!! Which would you choose? and before any of you say both, my house isn't big enough for both lol. I've already thought about it, lol.

Our four year old boy has ASD. We struggled for so long to find a swimming class who would accommodate his needs but Big Blue were so inclusive and appreciative of what was required.
We are both absolutely gobsmacked at how good the classes are. There is a real passion amongst the teachers and we simply
could not recommend them highly enough.
Our son started a year ago. Would thoroughly recommend - staff are wonderful and great to see progress being made every lesson. Can't wait for my daughter to start lessons once she is old enough.
Came out of your class absolutely elated! So excited by what you've done already with Sylvia and this is only class 2! Think it's an amazing swim school and I'm so delighted that you are teaching my daughter. Wish I'd been so lucky when I was little.
Can I just say how delighted I am with Roxanne's progress with Big Blue Swim School. The increase in her water confidence and skill in just four weeks is truly remarkable!! Well done and massive, massive thanks!!
I just wanted to say how I was very impressed by Big Blue Swim School. Calvin and Lucy, Ross loved his first lesson so thank you both for making him so welcome to the class.
Excellent swim school. My little girl has progressed so well since moving to Big Blue.
My 5 year old is loving her lessons. Susan immediately put her at ease and her confidence in swimming unaided has improved massively after only 2 lessons. Wish we had found you earlier!

A deleted tweet by well-known voice actor Nolan North has started getting some players to speculate that we'll be getting Nolan North in DMC 5 as the villain, though so far we haven't had any sort of confirmation over who will actually be voicing whoever the villain turns out to be.
Nolan North's tweet was a joke about why Dante couldn't cut onions (the answer? Because the Devil May Cry). While it seems innocent on the surface, that tweet was made on October 12 of 2016, meaning that if he really is playing the villain in the game, he likely was working on it years before the game was even announced at E3.
However, it could still just be an innocuous joke and we won't be seeing Nolan North in DMC 5 after all. Nolan North is one of the most prolific voice actors in the world alongside Troy Baker, but he's never been in a Devil May Cry game before. His best work is the Uncharted series, where he voices the principal character Nathan Drake.
Nolan North being in Devil May Cry 5 would be a big change for him, and considering how well-known and well-beloved the games are, him being picked to be in a Devil May Cry game would be one of his biggest roles yet, especially if the game is good and his villain is well-written.
Devil May Cry 5 is a return to the original Devil May Cry series that made the franchise popular, after the DMC: Devil May Cry reboot that many fans were less than enthused about even if the game got good reviews.
If we do see Nolan North in DMC 5, we'll be able to see him sometime in the second quarter of 2019, when the game comes out on the Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC, so be on the lookout when that time rolls around.

Teal on Self-Love, Relationships and Soulmates
This video brings together many things I have been thinking about recently. I am definitely going to research into the 5 languages of love 🙂
Here is the original description below the video:
Ask Teal Website – http://www.askteal.com
In this episode, Teal explains in depth how it is our relationships that are the necessary condition for our expansion. She also discusses Twin Flames and the Five Love Languages.
Our relationships reflect our conscious and subconscious mind. So the most important question to ask oneself in a relationship that is not going the way we would like is: What thoughts and beliefs are present in me that are making me a match to this situation?
Teal addresses the pros and cons of marriage versus polyamory. She also explains the concept originated by Dr. Gary Chapman of the five love languages.
These five love languages are:
Physical Affection
Words of Affirmation
Quality Time
Finally, Teal addresses the concept of Twin Flames.
"My primary rel…
"My primary relationship is with myself – all others are mirrors of it. As I learn to love myself, I automatically receive the love and appreciation that I desire from others. If I am committed to myself and to living my truth, I will attract others with equal commitment."
Shakti Gawain, Reflections in the Light (Taken from http://www.wellbeingalignment.com/how-to-love-yourself.html)
So relevant right now 🙂

An amazing article! I need to take this with me everywhere I go as a constant reminder 🙂
