Heartland SPCA must give up its name, judge decides
When two beloved animal welfare agencies merged in June they spent $200,000 to brand their new name — Heartland SPCA — in the minds of Kansas Citians.
Only problem?
The Heartland Animal Clinic in downtown Overland Park, which had claimed the name for its veterinary clinic 16 years ago and didn't want to relinquish it. On Monday a judge's order took effect forbidding Heartland SPCA, a nonprofit that includes the former Animal Haven shelter and No More Homeless Pets KC vet clinic, from using the word Heartland to market its low-cost veterinary services.
The nonprofit promises to fight the decision to recoup costs associated with changing the name and a TV and radio blitz last year.
Although Heartland Animal Clinic has emerged as the legal winner thus far, the backlash from Kansas City's animal rescue community and nonprofit customers was swift and severe.
Heartland Animal Clinic office manager Lori Ochoa said they were blindsided by the negative response.
"We are a small business with nine employees that struggles to offer quality veterinary care at a reasonable price and stay in business who wins a lawsuit against a large (nonprofit) that took a name without asking," said Ochoa, who spoke as a representative of the private clinic's owner and veterinarian Jill Sandler.
Heartland SPCA CEO Courtney Thomas said she offered to buy the name from Sandler but was turned down.
"I find it unfortunate that we weren't able to compromise on this matter and that any time, period, is being taken away from focusing on our mission to save, protect and improve the lives of animals," Thomas said.
Ochoa said the business, which operates on a $6,000 marketing budget, has been vilified.
"In all respect, nobody, especially a small animal hospital like ourselves with nine employees, wants to sue an animal shelter," Ochoa said. "(Heartland SPCA) is making it look like we're taking away money from kittens and puppies and that is not the case."
But Heartland Animal Clinic showed its might Monday.
That's when Thomas said the private clinic slapped her agency with a motion of contempt because the sign for Heartland SPCA was not properly covered.
"Dr. Sandler is asking for $5,000 per day that we are in contempt," Thomas said.Each side said lawyers advised them differently about the timing of when the sign should have been covered. Now a judge must decide the exact hour it should have happened.
"They're taking it to the extreme," Thomas said.
Ochoa said that the facts are clear.
"Dr. Sandler, and this is most important, did her homework and looked around to make sure there was no other Heartland Animal Clinic," Ochoa said. "Courtney Thomas who is the CEO did not do her homework."
Thomas said her agency did not know about the other clinic. But even if agency officials had known, she said, they wouldn't have immediately flagged it as a problem because the nonprofit is identified as part of SPCA, which stands for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The two organizations, she believes, are also different because the Heartland Animal Clinic is solely a veterinary clinic while Heartland SPCA operates a lost pet and stray shelter, veterinary clinic and more.
"We have 11 other community programs that we provide so to us the delineator in our name, SPCA, is the most important part of our name," she said.
Thomas points out the name Heartland is generically applied to many businesses.
"There are hundreds of businesses in the Kansas City community with the name Heartland," she said.
Ochoa said the comparison isn't fair.
"I do not receive phone calls for Heartland Plumbing," she said.
Ochoa said it's disappointing that the matter escalated to this level.
"In the veterinary community we just don't do that to each other," Ochoa said. "It's ugly."
Thomas said Heartland SPCA has little choice but to change the organization's name as soon as possible. Operating with a temporary name would only confuse customers and donors. However, it will pursue the matter in hopes of recouping the rebranding costs. Donations will not be compromised, she said, because a family has agreed to pay the legal fees.
Thomas said the agency spent more than $200,000 to conduct a TV and radio advertising blitz, buy uniforms and align all of its products and materials with the new name. The veterinary clinic last year served about 18,000 animals. Thomas said the clinic is not intended to compete with private veterinarians because owners must qualify for services based on income guidelines.
She said the clinic is scrambling to come up with a suitable name. It has appealed to the agency's Facebook friends to vote on a new name. It will narrow the list by the end of the week.

V2 Vape Pen Review
November 13, 2018 | Dry Herb Vape Pens, Vape Pen Reviews | No Comments|
We spent a week with the V2 Vape Pen and here is our review:
"Well, unless you live in Canada or one of the cannabis legal states in the US, you're probably not going to get a lot of use out of the V2 Vape pen… are you? You little scoundrel… don't worry, we won't tell.
But seriously, we're talking about an amazing dry herb vape pen in the V2. The battery life is great, the design, while blocky, is still great. The atomizer and airflow are top quality. All in all, it's a phenomenal dry herb vape pen. Our only qualm with the pen is that the manufacturer's customer service kind of sucks. But as long as you don't need to do a return, you won't run into any issues."

Had to roll back to the beta version (1.12-0.15.1) from the release version (1.12.2-1.1.0). All TE's displayed "Error: topaddon:default" (to paraphrase). Is the release version not fully compatible with 1.12.1?Last edited by Timeslice42: Oct 2, 2017

In reply to DrManganese:Okay, I loaded my world up again with the release version, and *every* TE says "Error: topaddons:advgenerators" (not just Advanced Generators blocks), so I would suggest trying with Advanced Generators installed. :)I sure wish I'd noted that critical detail the first time... sorry about that.If needed this is with Modern Skyblock 2 on the Twitch launcher, version 2.4.4 *unlocked* with all mods manually updated via Twitch.Last edited by Timeslice42: Oct 3, 2017

In reply to DrManganese:It may be important to note that while IC2 was not installed, Tech Reborn was. While TR is only *compatible* with EU, it is still EU. Hopefully none of that will matter to this fix.

there isnt a 1.12+ version of the mod i'm going to request about yet; but it does still have an active 1.10.2 and 1.11.2 set of updates currently (a few texture and model updates shall be coming before the 10.2 and 11.2 versions are considered finalized and completed, but otherwise the data itself wont be changing much until the 1.12+ release planned in the future)
That being said; could you look into adding data for this mod that works with the "Lycanites mobs" mod? -- it would be most helpful knowing what beasts can and cannot be tamed just by having TOP addon list that information under the creature's name when a player puts their cross hair over it.
Considering there's so many different beasts that can be tamed or summoned as minions alternatively; the sheer number of creatures in the mod that only be tamed rather then summoned out numbers the few that can just be summoned as minions or cant be summoned at all, (as far as i know there's only about 5 special boss monsters that cant be tamed or summoned. 5 out of *all the mobs* included in the mod) So knowing what creatures can only be tamed (rather then summoned via summon staff item as a temporary minion) would be of great service, and it might make the mod feel less intimidating to other players who simply haven't given it a try yet due to the sheer number of new mobs added by the mod.
i know there's some sort of tag in the mob data that tells the game whether a mob from lycanites can be tamed or not; so having the top addon detect and display the "tamable" status should be manageable rather then needing to go through each and every one of the 83 standard mobs added by the mod manually

In reply to DrManganese:The Soulgazer is required to add their base info to the in-game bestiary (though sadly this info does not list treats required, summonible or whether a mob can be tamed or not. and i recently foudn out that the list of mobs that can be summoned is slimmer then i thought it was; but it still vastly outnumbers the tamable only mobs.
So yes; whether you can or summon or tame a mob would be helpful info to have from the start; i wouldn't make the soulgazer a requirement as then mist players could go threw the mod for a pretty long while without realizing they could have had a neat monster they spotted had they left it alone and came back to it at a later time. (This is under the assumption this is their first time using the mod without having looked to far into its wiki before starting their adventure. sadly a common practice by users these days xD)
Maybe make the soulgazer a requirement for listing the mob's drops and the specific foods the mob perfers to eat (for those that can breed); but the basic status of whether you can summon or tame the mob should be part of the default data given by the top addon if possible. again; just my suggestions on the matter if its possible.
I know the main site lists the mob's drops so that should make that part easier for reference points on that; really a lot of this is on the main site, but i know for those of us running on toasters here; switching between browser and Minecraft every few seconds to double check something can cause a lot of spitting and sputtering in game; while just checking a mob or item/block in game via the TOP & TOP addon is fairly faster; more user friendly and causes less over all CPU stress on my Computer then switching between programs. xD (yeah; im running off a standard build in Graphics card. >.< BECAUSE THE BILLS COME FIRST ;.; )
i'm certain i'm not the only one still using a toaster of a PC in this day and age while playing on Minecraft~ so i know alot of people benefit from using your addon and its updates :DLast edited by _ForgeUser30918553: Sep 23, 2017

In reply to WilliamBlaze:Alright, this is what I came up with. GIF. Let me know what you think, will publish the update upon your approval.Fantastic! :D and just in time too, the 1.12+ version was just released a few hours ago - and aside from needing to change the old achievements to match the new Advancement system that was added in Minecraft 1.12; everything in the 1.12 version matches the 1.10.2/1.11.2 versions as far as mobs and their summon/taming conditions are concerned.
There was a minor tweak in mob drops done for one species of mobs. its listed in the mod's change notes on the mod's download page if ya need more info on that.Last edited by _ForgeUser30918553: Sep 30, 2017

Any plans on making this available for 1.12? The one probe seems pretty stable and I am really missing your addon. Thank you for your work!

quick question, could you release an update that will add a probing helmet for vazkii's Psi mod;
similarly to how you did those for Botania's Manasteel helmet & ect? -- it would be most useful to have a Psimetal probe helmet.
And maybe some extra probe details on the dragon mobs from ice & fire mod would be great. currently you cant tell the dragon's tier simply by looking at them with the probe on; let alone its gender. (yes, dragons from said mod have tiers and genders, they are breedable if tamed, but getting a tamed one requires hatching one from an egg; which fighting a tier 4 or 5 dragon in hopes of finding dragon eggs from a female dragon of the appropriate tier)
(though frankly the animania mod could due with some probe compatibility on this subject as well)

The Ordinary Buffet – Multi Technology Peptide Serum
As well as Fenty Beauty, The Ordinary also caused a stir in the beauty scene and disrupted the market. Their skincare and foundation has had everyone agog with their value for money. I tried out three of their serums - and one of them was Buffet.
This product contains eleven peptides and hyaluronic acid. Peptides are important in skincare as they stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. Collagen product reduces significantly as you age so and can also be depleted by environmental factors, so collagen in skincare is a good thing.
While the benefits of peptides in skincare are proven, however slapping loads of peptides onto your face in isolation is not the path to skin health. Your skin is an organ that needs to be hydrated and nourished too. Brands that focus on 'anti-ageing' will throw a couple of peptides into their products so to have 11 in one is hefty. They work on different aspects of ageing skin including wrinkles and firmness.
I enjoyed using Buffet. The light texture meant that it was easy to mix with my moisturiser or apply as a layer after cleansing. I can't say that my skin was firmer after using it for several weeks but it was definitely plumper. Buffet contains several forms of hyaluronic acid as well as the peptides so that is definitely a benefit for the skin but I did like this product and would definitely recommend it if are looking for an affordable way to ramp up your existing skincare regime.
The Ordinary Buffet – Multi Technology Peptide Serum is priced at £12.70.

Before school, I would drink un cappuccino at a popular pasticceria, Brasilrecca. I could see Mount Etna in the distance and watch mothers taking kids to the bus stop, workers on scooters going to work, crews cleaning the street, a truck delivering wood to restaurants and a couple walking their dog. This image of Mario is one of my favorite street portraits—a gruff Sicilian with a cigar… and a fluffy dog.
Cotuit Center for the Arts
Hello everyone,
I wanted to tell you about a workshop I have coming up at Cotuit Center for the Arts this spring:
Photo Inkjet Transfer Printmaking Workshop
Sat-Sun, 10am-4pm, May 4-5
Some of you have seen demonstrations or participated in various workshops I've given over the last few years. Others have asked when I'd be giving another transfer workshop. Well…here it is! This one will be limited to 8 participants. You will be sending me photos before the class meets on May 4th. *I need time to edit and print your photos on special transfer film. As soon as you register, we can begin working together via e-mail.
Participants in this two-day workshop will learn how photographic transfers can be applied to various substrates—perfect for beginners who are curious about alternative photographic processes or experienced artists who want to combine photo transfers in their work. Students will transfer digital images to a variety of mediums including papers, Yupo paper, oxidized aluminum, and wood panels.
*I am able to work with students on special project requests and will offer suggestions for finishing and presenting work providing an updated list of resources. You can read more about my work on my BLOG page: www.bfdoyle.com/blog …scroll to Photo Inkjet Transfers: Concord Art Association to see the variety of transfers this group produced. And visit the site of the digital collaborative ArtSynergies: www.artsynergies.com.

Artist's Statement: Inspired by the protests of teen survivors of the shooting in Parkland, Florida, March for Our Lives (MFOL) took place on March 24, 2018. The demonstration drew thousands of protesters to Washington, D.C., and to rallies in cities across the United States and around the world. Organizers at the Hyannis Village Green called on politicians to enact strict gun-control legislation. High school juniors and seniors—A New Generation of Voters—will be 18 by the 2020 presidential election. WE THE PEOPLE can make a change to support common-sense gun reform.

Where did Olives come from? Olive is a picture book with general information about the cultivation of olive trees, the harvesting and pressing of olives to produce oil, and the role olive oil plays in eating a healthy Mediterranean diet. I took photographs of olive trees on several trips to Italy. L'Olivo di S.Emiliano, is registered asa protected tree near the town of Trevi. It is thought to be the oldest olive tree in Umbria and is fenced to allow tourists to visit it while protecting it from any damages.

Barbara Ford Doyle: The Mannequin Project
Mannequins are inanimate objects with an uncanny sense of aliveness. Making mannequins more (or less) human-like, leaves us with feelings of ambiguity. As substitutes for human beings, they become icons of art.To reflect my sensibilities and understanding of the history of photography, I reprocess film and analogue darkroom techniques with two digital systems:
Multiple exposure: From different points of view, layers of information are superimposed as one single image. Prints may be linked along a line of symmetry or cut into strips and rejoined as collages.
3-D anaglyph: Two color stereo views are filtered so that only one of the two images can be seen by each eye, in that way creating a 3D effect.

Artist's statement:
One Sunday, while on vacation in the Abaco Islands, I heard music pouring from the windows of a turquoise painted building. ALL ARE WELCOME was stenciled on the stone doorstep. It appeared not by accident that I was drawn into the fellowship of this Haitian church. My photographs are neither formal studio shots, nor are they casual street portraits—although my "studio" was in the shade of a building across from the church. That's how Church Ladies started. It's an on-going series.
By making a respectful connection with my subjects—even if a "sitting" is no more than five minutes—I try to capture the essence of the individual. I ask them to make eye contact with the camera, and for a few shots, not to smile. My best photographs reflect an honest interaction between my subjects and me, resulting in a narrative portrait of beauty, dignity, and a sense of faith.

Selection of work is based on how prints "speak" to one another visually and thematically to create a viewer experience that encapsulates a sense of beauty.

Artist's statement: Chatham's barrier beaches and inner shorelines constantly change—a dynamic ebb and flow of waves, currents, winds and tide. On April 1, 2017 ocean water surged through a "break" in South Beach creating a navigation channel to Nantucket Sound. Mariners returning from sea, position the red buoy to their right.
Juried show at Bromfield Gallery, 450 Harrison Ave. Boston, MA 02118
This juried exhibition of New England artists features artwork across diverse media that's open to different interpretations.
Although the definition of "body politic" is an organized group of citizens, artists in the show have used this term as inspiration: work that addresses the body, politics or the intersection of the two. In these tumultuous times, many artists address contemporary culture and controversial issues regarding private space and the control of one's body.
The gallery hopes the exhibition will provoke, illuminate and challenge!

Juror's Statement In his book The Practice of the Wild, poet and essayist Gary Snyder points out that "wild" is most often defined by what it is not. So, it is undomesticated, untamed, uninhabited, uncultivated, uncivilized. What if, he writes, we instead define it by what it is? Through this lens, "wild" becomes: self-propagating, flourishing, pristine, exuberant, original, self-reliant, ecstatic, free. Seen in this more positive light, nature has agency and power – a sense of dynamism that reminds us to take note, to honor the wild places we're still lucky enough to have. The images selected for this exhibition are poetic, evocative, and deeply interpretive. They masterfully capture some of the spirit of their subjects, rather than simply telling us what things look like. This attention to mood and emotion brings the scenes alive and inspires us to care. I hope the exhibit serves as an invitation to celebrate the wild beauty of trees and to contemplate what we stand to lose in the relentless drive for environmental dominion. As Edward Abbey so poignantly reminds us, "Love of wilderness is…an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only paradise we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need, if only we had the eyes to see."

Manufacturers design camping trailers with many of the amenities of home—refrigerators, flushing toilets, TVs, air conditioning. Some even come equipped with solar panels. The RV lifestyle is made up of outdoor enthusiasts and of those interested in traveling and camping rather than living in one location. Many retirees "snowbird" to Florida in the winter and return North in spring.
The owners of this camper have established more permanent roots—Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home….

Juror's Statement:
Photographs that convey a "sense of place" blend the physical characteristics of a scene, landscape or object with the mysterious essence that emerges from gradually and perhaps unconsciously inhabiting a place over time. The photograph ceases to become an objective document. Instead, it takes on a particular feeling that is invested with something that is often intangible, revealing a deeper understanding of what lies beneath the surface.
How is this "sense of place" communicated in a photograph? Many components including light, content and composition are important, as are clarity and craftsmanship. A well made photograph, for me, is the visual equivalent of a poem, evoking feelings and emotions. A quote from an essay in The Atlantic by Mark Yakich, "What Is a Poem," states… "A poem helps the mind play with its well-trod patterns of thought, and can even help reroute those patterns by making us see the familiar anew."
Subjectivity, of course, is inevitable. Selecting photographs is necessarily contingent of the particular jurors taste and aesthetic. That said, it was a privilege and honor to jury "A Sense of Place."

I Siciliani: Roberto
Juror Dean Brierly, editor of Black & White magazine, has selected 35 images for exhibition in the gallery and another 40 images for exhibition online.
In my capacity as editor of Black & White magazine, I am constantly judging images, not only for publication in our regular issues, but also for our Portfolio and Single Image Contest issues. One thing I've noticed over time is the tendency (unconscious or not) on the part of many photographers to follow visual templates laid down by others. Happily, this was not the case when I sat down to consider the photographs submitted for this exhibition. I was, in fact, greatly impressed with the originality and quality on display.
From the beginning of my involvement with photography, both as practitioner and editor, I have been drawn to the work of those who go against the status quo, who avidly experiment with the medium, who pioneer their own creative themes and visual parameters. People like Barbara Crane, Mario Giacomelli, James Fee, to name but three. When I look at a photograph in any context—as a judge or simply as a viewer in a gallery—what I look for above all is something that takes me by surprise, that puts me off balance, even upsets me. The cardinal sin in my book is to be boring. This holds true when I look at other types of artwork, listen to music or watch films. It's always harder to do the unexpected, but invariably it's more rewarding and meaningful.
I was delighted at how often I found myself
surprised while judging these images. It was obvious that a great deal of
thought went into their creation, as well as originality, sensitivity and
craftsmanship. It's one thing for a photograph to attract attention, another
thing entirely to hold it. The majority of these images, while striking on
first glance, also resonated with emotional and thematic depth that revealed
additional nuances with repeated views. All of which made it an honor and a
pleasure to have been chosen to play a curatorial role with work of such

For Doyle, digital photography exists less in opposition to analogue than as a space to explore the new tools represented by the countless number of apps available to modern photographic artists. The chance to find apps that "reflect my particular artistic sensibilities and understanding of the history of photography" enables the journey from snapshot to highly expressive personal imagery. —George Slade

Juror's Statement: Traer Scott
I often say that animals make me human. I am eternally captivated and inspired by the beauty, honesty and intelligence found in all corners of the animal kingdom. Unfortunately, as we humans become a bigger, louder and more pervasive animal, many other species are suffering in countless ways. However even as our planet and the animals that inhabit it are perhaps at the peak of crisis, I also believe that as a society, we are at an apex of collective consciousness and compassion.
I was heartened to see so many submissions examining and exploring the relationships we have with animals, celebrating their amazing adaptations and abilities as well as in some cases, their pure and visceral "animal-ness". My selections for Animalia are images that evoke curiosity, sadness, discomfort, wonder, humor and awe, all of which are emotions that I regularly feel when contemplating the beauty and fragility of the animals that we share our planet with.

The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod will host its 9th Annual Member Winter Art Exhibit January/February 2016 at the Cotuit Center for the Arts. The 2016 exhibit is titled Balancing Act, and will feature 54 artists' interpretations of that theme – literally and figuratively. All Cape Cod established and emerging artists submit art for consideration and are selected by jury. The exhibit will open with an invitation-only reception on January 9, 2016 at 7 p.m.
Balancing Act: Interpretation of the theme.
Chesterwood is the former Stockbridge, MA summer home, studio, and gardens of sculptor Daniel Chester French (1850-1931). It is also the venue for large-scale abstract, conceptual and figurative sculpture in an outdoor setting. Last summer twenty-four artists from The Boston Sculptors Group exhibited their work in the landscape French designed himself. As I strolled through the woods, stopping at each marked location, I noted the imaginative concepts tying (sometimes literally) sculpture to nature and the wide range of materials used including copper Lincoln pennies (a nod to French's Abraham Lincoln for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.).
It was, however, this composition captured on my iPhone of growing and decaying tree trunks, sunlight and shadow, abstract and figurative forms— balanced in nature—that might have been listed "#25 on the walking map."

text: A dying tooth is constantly palpated by one's tongue and examined with exaggerated movements while looking at it in the mirror. It feels allegorical, uncanny, and cartoonish. While daily life is perceived increasingly congruent with horror and caricature, gorily severed limbs and turning into cartoons are far from being new effects in bodies under abstraction. They are just more and more commonly experienced. How then express the waking dream of being simultaneously a constellation of estranged body parts and an extremely malleable, closed shape? This volume outlines these palpations and wry mirror angles in an assembly of paper and ink. It is published as part of the Arthur Boskamp-Stiftung Advancement Award 2014 to Tonio Kröner, being prequel, documentation, extension, and aftermath of the exhibition I Hate My Village, which took place at M.1 of Arthur Boskamp-Stiftung, Hohenlockstedt, 2014.

This little voice pops up from the back, the developing timbre of her voice on display:
You can't eat there. You'll throw up.
The "there" she's referring to is Taco Bell, the sacred temple of my teenage years (8 soft tacos and a Mountain Dew, please. Oh, can you throw in a Big Beef Meximelt too?) and the context of that story is an off-hand comment by my wife about the food quality of the Bell.
Heresy, if you ask me.
I'm hoping she won't take that anti-Bell narrative to her grave but in the bigger picture she'll still live a full life, somehow. What's more interesting to me is the way that a child who has never tasted a particular food can believe it to be a stomach-wrenching evil to be avoided at all costs.
She doesn't know that, at least not through experience. She was taught that. She was taught to fear, to avoid, and to hold in low regard this south-of-the-border delicacy (okay, now I'm being ridiculous) without ever experiencing it for herself.
It is formed in her mind and heart, and what is formed comes forward. It is carried on, day after day, generation after generation.
In the wake of the events in Charlottesville last week, many people posted this Nelson Mandela quote:
"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."
I couldn't agree more, not just because it is right but because of my daughter's aversion to the Bell.
Hate is something that is formed, just like love. And you can learn to hate something you've never experienced, encountered, or suffered through.
And what is formed comes forward.
Naming the darkness and evil that is white supremacy means understanding that it is not just a political issue but an issue of personal spiritual formation. Spiritual formation is not always distinctly Christian. As Dallas Willard once said all of us are undergoing the process of spiritual formation (paraphrase). The question is: what are we being formed into?
Because what is formed comes forward. It's how we'll live, how we'll walk, who we'll love and who we'll hate. It's how we handle our anger, money, bodies, politics, and time.
So as parents, the way we're responding to hate in all of its forms - white supremacy, prejudice against race or religion or gender — is formational to our kids. They will carry that forward because hate is learned. It is formed.
As individuals, the way we represent ourselves in discussions on race and religion comes out of who we really believe Jesus to be and what we believe He's up to and more importantly what connection our faith has to social & cultural issues.
Those are not primarily political discussions. They are formation discussions. We talk and write and vote out of the things that are formed deep within us. Because what is formed comes forward.
So if we look at ourselves today, and we can't find any outrage about white supremacist hate groups that desire to build a country that is strictly European and strictly adheres some white version of Protestant Christianity, then we need to start asking questions about what is formed in us.
To be clear I reject white supremacy, completely.
I also reject any form of Christian practice that supports it. God will deal with the human heart, but I'm simply talking about the "fruit" here.
The Jesus who condones racism is not a Jesus I'm familiar with.
If we look at our marriage and we see attitudes and actions that are inconsistent with the faith we have or the values we profess to hold, we need to start asking some formation questions. What has shaped this disconnect between my inner and outer worlds?
Because hate is learned, it is formed.
Because racism is learned, it is formed out of fear and family and heritage.
Because relational dysfunction is formed out of past examples, family of origin, and experiences with other people that have wounded us.
And what is formed comes forward.
As you look at the things that have happened in the last few weeks or in the last few hours, what do you notice? What is coming "forward" in your attitudes and actions? Where is that coming from - what has been "formed' in you that allows those attitudes and actions fly free?
May you find what is formed so you can see what's coming forward. Not only that, but may you know the Father, Son, and Spirit who are passionately and desperately committed to transformation through learning to love instead of hate, to heal instead of wound.

Your Learning Agility can be defined as your ability to develop new, effective behaviour when faced with new experiences. Those who are high on Learning Agility are more likely to actively embrace new challenges, seek out constructive feedback, recognize patterns in unfamiliar situations and effectively engage others in understanding experiences.
Some people are naturally more Learning Agile – embracing ambiguity, uncertainty and mental challenges. Others are more reluctant to venture into the unknown, preferring to stick to the familiar. Neither approach is wrong or right. One thing is clear however - in the face of the increasing pace of change in the workplace, it is important to try and develop your Learning Agility as much as possible.
Click here to participate in the Learning Agility in HR South African Research Study.
The five Learning Agility dimensions:
There are five dimensions to Learning Agility. Most people do not score high on every dimension, but show a unique combination of learning strengths and development areas. The good news is that your Learning Agility is not static, but – can be developed over time.
Change Agility: People who score high on Change Agility are characterised by a constant curiosity that is fueled by the new and the unknown. They like to experiment and try new things.
Mental Agility: People with a high score on Mental Agility like it when things are unclear or complex, as they enjoy creating clarity with new ideas.
People Agility: Those who score high on People Agility are constructive toward others and are open to people with different backgrounds and opinions. They have a need to understand other people, and tend to take their opinions seriously.
Results Agility: People with a high score on Results Agility have a strong need to be successful and are always looking for the best way to achieve results. They are often ambitious and confident, with a tendency to remain calm under pressure.
Self-awareness: People who score high on Self-awareness know their own strengths and weaknesses, and are development oriented. They are often critical of their own performance and actions. This makes them keen to do things better, and their overall willingness to learn is higher.

Cardamom, spice in a pod
Cardamom is a very popular spice that is used in Indian and Southeast Asian cuisine, both in sweet as well as in savoury dishes. It is one of the basic ingredients of garam masala.
The dried fruit, used as a spice, comes from the plant of the same name and it belongs to the same family as ginger and turmeric. The fruit is shaped like a greenish-grey capsule (pod) and it contains dark brown aromatic seeds.
Cardamom has a distinct fragrance, strong, yet not spicy. It should therefore be used in moderation. It is better to buy pods and remove the seeds and grind them as and when required, rather than buying the easily available but less fragrant powdered form. You can use whole cardamom pods in stews, slitting them open slightly so that the seeds tumble out during cooking.
Small tip: Chew some cardamom seeds after eating, in order to make your breath fresh and to neutralize onion and garlic odours.
See some of our recipes that feature cardamom:
Indian Butter Chicken
Chicken in a spicy and creamy sauce. Also known as «Chicken Makhani», it is a classic Indian dish with many different versions. This one I have inherited from my grandmother.
Grilled Chicken in Coconut Milk with Spices
This Indian recipe is beautifully scented and not piquant, which makes it a great hit with all my guests.

How's this for grabbing the headlines: whilst posting leaflets for the coming elections, a dog bites Andrew Gwynne MP's finger as he penetrates the letter box. He makes a rapid call to his Councillor wife and zooms off for medical treatment, but then what? ONLY THREE SEPARATE BLOODY PICTURES OF HIS FINGER IN A BANDAGE in the local press, plus also a picture pf him having a book presented to him by Gordon Brown - because of his bitten finger!
Now it certainly could be said that this MP should have pulled his finger out yonks ago for his constituents because in Denton West all 11,000 suffer in the worst air polluted locality in Greater Manchester, and he wants even more pollution stuffing into his constituents lungs (including children and babies) with the extra effects of the Bypass.
But what contempt is this when a Labour MP, whose party created a war in Iraq under false pretences, requires his bloody finger being photographed in all the local press, and the poor sodding Armed Forces sent out there are returning with missing limbs, in wheelchairs and with shattered bodies whilst this MP seeks public sympathy for his sodding finger. This is not an April fool, it's fact isn't it Mr Gwynne? - and being a disabled Army bloke myself, you can stick your finger where the sun doesn't shine.
Should you want another grotty Labour story read "labour kicks out the Councillor who disappeared" by Rochdale Labour group in the M.E.N April 3rd 2008 - where did he vanish to? Sod me it was Spain again, the home for quirky Councillors.
Come on Tameside Reporter, would you like pictures of my 14" scars as an ex-squaddie, or are you waiting for Andrew Gwynne to get a sodding cold at an election?!

Fashion bloggers are a driving force behind some brands' success online because many brands use bloggers to reach audiences in ways they couldn't just a few years ago. However, as the business of blogging continues to develop, consumers are seeing many of the same bloggers used repeatedly in brands' marketing campaigns. Since brands need to keep their marketing fresh, finding up and coming bloggers with unique styling perspectives and new voices to support the brand messaging make for the perfect fit.
New bloggers can be found through a variety of methods, but consumer favorites, active resellers of coveted products and those sharing product finds on the social web are three categories to search.
Discovering which fashion blogs are read by consumers is the most obvious way way to find new bloggers with which to collaborate. By using a site such as LookBook.nu, the curated "recommendations" are more real-time than the "daily reads" list some bloggers list on their fashion blogs. The tabs at the top of LookBook.nu separate posts a few different ways. The "New" page shows the most recent looks by members with the best reputations on the site and the "Hot" page shows the most popular looks within the past day or two. Posts on the site can be sorted by categories that include brand, product type, product material, and location. By seeing what looks are trending on a site such as LookBook.nu, a brand can determine a wide range of information about a blogger, from style aesthetic to type of following. Another way a brand may find up and coming bloggers is by searching for active resellers of its products. Poshmark, a mobile app aimed at fashionable young women selling gently worn clothing, regularly holds "Posh Parties". These parties often feature up and coming bloggers from around the US as hosts, which the Poshmark team promotes across their social networks like Facebook.
Finding products that bloggers share on social networks is also a way to learn about new bloggers. Two networks that are fashion blogger favorites are Pinterest and Polyvore. While Pinterest doesn't offer a full analytics dashboard yet, Viralheat offers an analytics package that lets a brand see metrics that include the total number of pins, repins and top influencers by using a keyword search. Polyvore's analytics dashboard lets a brand view its monthly impressions and engagement, as well as those numbers broken down by day. By measuring these sites' metrics, a brand can find how bloggers impact product shares.
A brand has access to millions of bloggers. With a little strategic thinking and some digging, a brand can find some pretty great bloggers who may not be international "It" names, but who have creative aesthetic and decent cult-like followings online.
Numbers aren't everything when a brand looks for a fashion blogger, but they definitely count for something.

On the coast of NC, hurricane season has officially arrived, and it feels like it's in even fuller effect with the amount of rain we've already had this year! Hurricane-proofing your home is one of the most important steps you can take, particularly when you live on the coast. You've likely put a lot of work into your beautiful home, so making sure it's protected is necessary! Check out these 6 tips for hurricane-proofing your home.
Reinforce your doors. Do you have double doors in your home? In some cases, there will be a functioning door while the other is fixed. If this is true for you, reinforce the fixed door at the top and bottom. You can find reinforcement kits at your local hardware store.
Garage doors can also be incredibly vulnerable during hurricanes. Reinforce them at their weakest points or brace them during storms. If heavy winds cause your garage door to give way, wind could blow through the house and potentially tear the roof away.
Install storm shutters. Windows with impact-resistant glass are a huge help, but also consider installing storm shutters. Ultimately, keeping all glass areas completely protected is the most effective way to hurricane-proof your home.
Have basic supplies nearby. Having an emergency kit stocked with the essentials—water, batteries, food, flashlights, etc.--is a great idea. If you have a downstairs closet or bathroom with no windows that you plan to use as a safe room, keep your emergency kit there. That way, it's on hand as soon as you need it.
Clear away debris from your yard. If you have outdoor furniture or garden decorations, play it safe by bringing it all inside. Remove any loose branches that might be hanging in trees.
Clean out the gutters. Make sure your gutters are clean before a hurricane rolls through. There will be huge amounts of rain that will need somewhere to go. Keeping a clear pathway for water to flow off of your roof can help prevent leaks.
Have a backup generator. Whether you install a system within your home, or simply have a smaller generator to use as a backup, it's a good idea to have one on hand. If you lose power for a few days, you'll still be able to keep the necessities running.
Thinking of a custom renovation to help hurricane-proof your home? We'd love to help! Fill out our form here to get started.

Rachel, a first time mum, tells her positive birth story of baby Edward, born in the water in hospital.
It was two days before my due date in March 2017. I woke up feeling huge and uncomfortable, with aching hands from carpel tunnel, and swollen feet. This had been my 'normal' for a few weeks. Apart from that I was feeling good. I had no inkling that something was going to happen, I didn't sense that my baby would be arriving soon. I did however, decide that I had to go shopping and stock up on essentials, just in case.
The obligatory texts started to arrive from friends, you know, those helpful ones that say "no baby yet then" or "wont be long now". Yes thank you for that!
I waddled my way around the supermarket, and as I was at the till I drifted off, wondering how overdue I would end up going, because first babies are always late right?
Back at home I made myself lunch, and put my feet up for a bit. Just after 2pm I was hanging some washing out when I suddenly got really bad back pain. I just thought to myself that it was another pregnancy gift and that it would disappear. But it didn't and by 2:45pm I felt my first contraction. Although I didn't know thats what it was to begin with. I hadn't had braxton hicks, and it just felt like period pain initially. Five minutes later, I had another one. I began to wonder what was going on....still clueless that labour was starting.
About half an hour later I decided to ring the maternity ward. We were a 45 minute drive away so I wanted to make sure they knew what was happening.
The triage nurse on the end of the phone told me that it was more than likely false labour as I hadn't reached my due date, and that it would stop soon.
By 4pm I rang back again to say that the contractions were now just under 4 minutes apart and getting stronger. Again, with a very relaxed attitude I was told to stay put, nothing would be happening for a while. I was to call them back when my contractions were every 3 minutes apart and a minute long each.
My husband arrived home just after 5pm. I was bouncing on my birthing ball trying to watch 'The Chase'. He said to me "babe are you okay, you look a bit red in the face?", to which I replied "I'm in labour, genius". In that moment he turned into an excited puppy, bouncing around the front room in delight. "How far apart are your contractions, 10, 15 minutes?". I laughed and told him that they were 3 minutes apart and that I needed to call the hospital again. Never have I seen colour drain from someones face so quickly. I've also never seen him get ready so fast.
Finally, triage told me to come in, we left home just after 6pm and were at the hospital by 7pm. I was still managing the pain, but the contractions were now every 2 minutes and getting stronger. When I was examined they said that my waters were paper thin and that I was 5cm dilated, therefore I could get straight into the birthing pool. At this point they offered me gas and air, but I refused. I'm still not 100% sure why, but something in my head was telling me that I would want to remember as much of this as possible.
The water was a revelation, it helped me so much to manage the pain, supporting me through every contraction. We had a lovely midwife called Sheryl who didn't fuss over me, she just let me do my thing as much as possible. My husband and I were alone in the room when my waters broke at 8:30pm, and I had an immediate urge to push. I was mooing like some kind of farm animal, but was still resisting the pain relief. When people had told me that between contractions I wouldn't be in any pain I didn't believe them, but thats how it was, and the three of us were chatting about all sorts during the 'down time'. The intensity suddenly ramped up, I was on all fours gripping onto my husbands hands as tightly as I could, I knew that it wouldn't be long at all until we met our baby. We had our wedding playlist on in the room throughout the whole thing, I felt safe, strong and totally loved. At 9:45pm I pushed our son out into the world whilst 'Everlong' played in the background.
Edward made very little noise, his arrival in this world was very chilled out, and he has so far remained that way, he's just turned 1 and is a delight.
I had a second degree tear and required a few stitches. Luckily I healed quickly and without complication.
I wanted to tell my story because its important to acknowledge and champion the great birth stories, as much as it is important to honour the stories that don't go quite so smoothly. I count myself exceptionally lucky to have had the birth experience that I did. It was practically perfect, and made me feel like a total super hero.
Every birth is a miracle.

Inaugural Kentucky Post-Critical Incident Seminar "Outstanding" success
"PCIS works," an anonymous officer said. "PCIS saved a life. That life is mine. I had thoughts of suicide prior to coming here and because of the PCIS, I now have reasons to live."
The Department of Criminal Justice Training conducted its first Kentucky Post-Critical Incident Seminar recently, and DOCJT Criminal Investigation Branch Manager Travis Tennill said it was an "outstanding" success.
PCIS is a three-day seminar modeled after highly-successful programs developed by the FBI and South Carolina Law Enforcement. These seminars are led by mental-health professionals trained to work with peace officers, and driven by a team of law enforcement peers who have experienced their own critical incident and received training in Critical Incident Stress Management.
The mental-health professionals offer blocks of instruction about grief, relationships, medications and stress management. Additional one-on-one therapy is available for those with an identified need. Peer law enforcement team members instill trust, aid in breaking down stigma and lead to officers who typically would not seek help getting the assistance they need and deserve.
"We had several officers receive therapy that proved to be very effective," Tennill said. "I received texts and emails from participants the morning after we finished about how much better they slept and that they did not have the usual 'demons' show up in their dreams. I also saw friendships form which will serve as support systems for years to come."
DOCJT staff were assisted by seasoned PCIS professionals from South Carolina, Ohio, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia and Tennessee, who helped make this first seminar successful. Training-team members from Kentucky also assisted with the program – including three therapy dogs – to round out the team of more than 30, Tennill said. Kentucky Lt. Gov. Jenean Hampton (pictured at top) and Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet Secretary John Tilley also greeted PCIS participants to open the seminar.
"The multi-agency/state training team worked out very well," Tennill said. "Some of them had never worked together before but were veterans to the PCIS model, which allowed us to be very successful. I can't say enough good things about the mental health professionals and peers who traveled many hours to be here, and their agencies for allowing them time away from their primary duties to aid in our success."
Post-traumatic stress is the body's normal reaction to an abnormal event. A critical goal of the PCIS program is normalization of the attendee's experience. Peer-team members and mental-health professionals work to validate officers' experiences, offer therapies and provide peace.
Attending PCIS provides a unique opportunity for attendees to talk about their story and receive resources to help them move beyond their event or events. Mental-health professionals leading the program are trained to understand the law-enforcement culture, allowing for specific and appropriate responses oftentimes not found in general counseling practices.
"I also want to note how courageous our participants were in sharing their stories," Tennill said. "Some of them had never shared their stories openly prior to the PCIS. They opened their minds and hearts to the training team, which allowed us to tailor our efforts to their specific needs and give them the help that they needed. They are all heroes."
The next Kentucky PCIS program will be offered in March. To register, visit https://www.kypcis.com/register. For questions about the program, please call (844) 5KY-PCIS.

Private Label's Siren Song: A Case Study in Supply vs. Demand
No matter how strong a brand is, food manufacturers who expand capacity must have a fallback when demand falls short. In this case study, we look at how product development and manufacturing for other companies will help justify Jelly Belly Candy's latest expansion in Asia.
A question food processors need to answer when contemplating a plant expansion is, how will they fill production schedules with the added capacity?
The fallback is particularly important when the processor's brand is susceptible to big swings in demand. That describes Jelly Belly Candy Co., the Fairfield, Calif.-based confectioner that rocketed to fame in the 1980s thanks to the unsolicited endorsement of President Ronald Reagan, who kept the beans on his desk and gave visiting dignitaries a jar as a token.
Still family owned, the confectioner traces its roots to post-Civil War New York, according to Herman Rowland Jr., a member of ownership's fifth generation. Production has skipped around to many locations over a century and a half, and in 2006 Rowland was dispatched to the Rayong Province in Thailand to oversee construction of a production facility that came on line two years later.
An economic incentive package that included tax-free trade zone status if all finished goods were exported was a key factor in building the facility in Thailand. "Our international market was not growing for many years," recalls Rowland.
A nearby deep-sea port makes time on the water for shipments to 65 countries an easier logistics solution than serving the globe from Jelly Belly's West Coast plant. GMO-free tapioca syrup rather than the corn syrup used in U.S. production helped unlock access to key markets like Germany, Japan and the U.K. and also benefited Jelly Belly's domestic organic line.
Much of the company's product development is done by the current patriarch, Herman Rowland Sr. Among his creations is Vomit, one of several vile-flavored beans that were bundled together in BeanBoozled, a board game introduced the same year the Thailand plant was commissioned. Popular with people too young to drink, BeanBoozled consists of a selection of savory and nasty-flavored jelly beans. Players spin a wheel that determines which flavor they must eat.
BeanBoozled became an international sensation two years ago, pushing production into overdrive. "We had to lease 100,000 sq. ft. across the street," the younger Rowland says, with 100 temporary workers joining Thailand's 150 full-time staffers. All good fads must come to an end, though, and international ardor for BeanBoozled is cooling.
Jelly Belly routinely leverages cross-marketing opportunities with movies like Jurassic World and the Harry Potter franchise, so the waxing and waning of pop culture trends is nothing new. Still, the timing is awkward for the Thailand factory, which recently added contract manufacturing of chocolate candies to the production mix.
The existing 165,000-sq.-ft. facility simply is too small to accommodate tempering equipment and other processes needed for chocolate production. Rowland considered adding a 40,000-sq.-ft. addition that would have maxed out space on the firm's property, then scrapped the idea in favor of renting the adjacent 100,000-sq.-ft. building. "It will give us a chance to see how chocolate candies take off," he reasons.
Whether Jelly Belly builds or leases, the chocolate project will push Thai capacity above the current 7 million lb. per year level, adding some urgency to private-label production. "I want to fill up Thailand's production schedule," says Rowland. "That's why I've been pushing for private label."
With that in mind, he plans to become a fixture at the three international private-label trade shows, beginning with November's Private Label Manufacturers Assn. show in Rosemont, Ill.
Jelly Belly dipped its toes into private label four years ago at its North Chicago, Ill., facility. Later, branded production of jelly beans, chocolate malt balls and candy corn was transferred to California. Seventy workers were laid off as the company began soliciting contract manufacturing and private-label opportunities. The Illinois facility recently was certified to produce vitamin-infused products.
Candies with vitamins are another possibility in Thailand once chocolate manufacturing moves across the street. And a new starch drier will present other opportunities. "We've been asked many times, 'Can you put marijuana in that?' but it would never get past my sister's religion," says Rowland, referring to company president Lisa Brasher. "People are going to make a lot of money (on cannabis chewables), but not us."
A best-in-class approach is taken in equipping the Thailand plant, which means the OEMs are usually thousands of miles away. "We have the parts and fix problems ourselves, unless there's a programming problem we can't figure out," says Rowland, "and then the vendor does it online."
Production runs are shorter in Thailand than at the California factory, which means coping with more changeovers, particularly in packaging. Automation is used on some of the dozen packaging lines, but throughput is faster on those with hand-packing than those with machines, he maintains.
Quality improvements are likely once chocolate production is relocated. Instead of storing work-in-process up to three days to stabilize it, a starch dryer will be installed to condition the beans, making final outcomes more consistent, according to Rowland. Beans then are sugar coated and transported to a panning room.
"No two pans are exactly the same," he says. "Maybe there's a little more sugar or a little more syrup. That is where the art remains. It takes two to three years to develop a top panning guy."
Immediately before packaging, each branded bean is printed with the Jelly Belly logo in one of four machines that each print 22,000 beans per minute. That's one potential bottleneck that private-label production will be able to skirt.
