[Launching in Earnest on the Fourth of July, 2018]
Do you remember when we were kids and our teachers used to ask us "Who is your role model and why? Explain in five paragraphs..." And then when you got older that question began to sound naive and maybe a bit unsophisticated.
Inheriting the enlightenment attitude that we are standing on the shoulders of giants, we throw away the ancient notion that there are saints worth imitating. I believe that both of those extremes are flawed. With that said, in this podcast I will be proposing two things:
-We need to rethink what a role model is! -And that in this day in age we cannot afford to not have role models.
*When I was a kid, the answer to that cliche question was Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier. It just so happens that recently I got back in touch with my old hero. Therefore I will be using his inspirational story full of highs and lows paralleled with my own personal narrative living as a producer in Korea, to support my claims.
HERO AND ME is a podcast that celebrates exceptionalism, not as a thing that distinguishes notable figures of the past from our own times, but as an ideal that links us together and inspires us to be the very best that we can be.

Suicide victim is related to 1 of 2 women killed in Franklin County, coroner says
One of two women killed in a double homicide was the mother of a man who committed suicide in a different location, according to law enforcement officials.
Franklin County Sheriff Pat Melton revealed Monday the names of the victims from a double homicide discovered Friday.
Jennifer Lynn Downey, 32, of Frankfort, and Carolyn Barker, 88, of Franklin County, were found with gunshot wounds at Barker's house on Pea Ridge Road about 6:20 p.m. Friday. Downey was Barker's caregiver.
Also on Monday, Coroner Will Harrod identified the man who died Friday of a single self-inflicted gunshot on Washington Street in Frankfort as Barker's son, Raymond "Voin" Barker, 69. His body was found about 2 p.m. Friday.
Melton would not say the three deaths are related, but he disclosed that his office wasn't looking for another suspect. The sheriff's department has worked with Frankfort police to determine whether there is a possible connection, Melton said.
Friday night, Franklin County deputies responded to a call from one of Carolyn Barker's relatives who found her and Downey after being unable to contact Barker.
Melton said Monday the motive was not clear.
"We got a lot of evidence that detectives are going through right now. We are very, very thorough," Melton said. "Time is on our side right now, so we are taking our time to make sure that we do the best job for the families and the victims in this case."
The women's bodies were taken to the state medical examiner's office for autopsies. Downey was a mother of several children, Melton said.
Funeral services for Downey will be conducted at 10 a.m. Thursday at Harrod Brothers Funeral Home in Frankfort. Visitation will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at the funeral home.
Services for Carolyn Barker will be private, according to Harrod Brothers Funeral Home.
An online obituary said Carolyn Barker was a native of Franklin County who was retired from the Kentucky Supreme Court Clerk's Office. She was the widow of Kelly Barker Jr.
"She was an avid reader and appreciated the natural beauty of Kentucky scenery," the obituary stated. "She loved and cherished her family dearly."

Cheating: Signs wife or husband will cheat – this is the biggest one
Cheating is usually enough to end a traditional marriage, and if it doesn't there are certainly going to be some hurt feelings.
Monogamy is the main method of conducting relationships in the Western world, and a marriage between two persons is the only kind recognised legally.
While some choose to be open about having multiple partners, living in open relationships, others choose to carry on sexual and romantic relations with other partners in secret from their main partner. This usually causes some upset when monogamy is the supposed set up for the couple.
Cheating is a social taboo. One study has previously claimed "trouble at home" is the most likely cause for cheating. Now another study has backed this up.
Cheating signs are something worried spouses might be on the look out for.
But, why do people cheat? What do those who play away aim to get out of it
New research has revealed the most common reasons people strike up an affair.
The team at www.MoneySavingHeroes.co.uk surveyed more than 2,400 Britons aged 18 and over about their dating histories, finding that as many as one in three who have cheated actually planned to cheat on a previous partner at one point or another, while the majority hadn't planned to cheat but found that it just happened.
It was initially found that one in four (27 per cent) Britons have cheated on a partner at one point or another while in an exclusive relationship, with one third of them (33 per cent) admitting that they had considered and possibly even planned their infidelity beforehand, while the remaining two thirds (67 per cent) stated that it had just happened.
Reasons people cheat
When asked why they had betrayed their partner and strayed with someone else, cheating Britons confessed it was because:
- I was not happy in the relationship I was in – 63 per cent
- It was exciting – 43 per cent
- I was more attracted to the person I was cheating with – 37 per cent
- I wasn't sexually satisfied with my partner at the time – 19 per cent
- I'd gotten away with it before and continued on not expecting to get caught – 9 per cent
What's more, 5 per cent felt that it was in their nature to cheat on their partners, and a further 4 per cent felt it wasn't natural for humans to be monogamous.
Asked how they'd planned their infidelity before it had happened, 37 per cent had fantasised about it happening and 30 per cent had put themselves in situations that had the potential to kick off the affair.
Just one in nine (11 per cent) had cheated the once and left it at that, while 47 per cent cheated multiple times with the same person and 42 per cent went on to cheat with multiple partners.
Finally, over half admitted that they'd never been caught out (57 per cent), almost one in four had been caught out (23 per cent) and the remaining 20 per cent admitted the guilt had been too much and they'd confessed their sins.
George Charles, spokesperson for www.MoneySavingHeroes.co.uk, commented: "Being unfaithful in a relationship is never a good idea; not only are you breaking a foundation of trust, but usually – when caught out – the cheater is left just as hurt as the person who was being cheated on.
"Mistakes happen, of course, we're only human, but if you are considering the idea of straying with someone else then consider leaving the person you're with and letting them find someone who is truly right for them."
Signs of cheating
What other clues are there that your other half is seeing someone behind your back?
How your husband or wife's friends can inadvertently reveals signs of cheating.
Psychologist Paul Coleman, PsyD, author of Finding Peace When Your Heart Is In Pieces told website Prevention: "There is a good chance your partner's friends may know what's really going on before you do."
If your notice their friends acting strangely it might be time to confront your partner about their suspicions.
Where in the UK will you be most likely to find a cheating wife or husband?
According to IllicitEncounters.com, a dating site for married people, those in Bromley should be most worried about their partner seeing someone else behind their back.
Data collected by the website shows 20,594 people in Bromley are cheating on their other half.
Next up is Brent, where there are 19,326 cheaters, followed by Tower Hamlets with 17,077 and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea with 8,520.

Die besten Restaurants in Brandenburg
"Rooftop Bar Klunkerkranich is hardly a secret anymore, this place is still super cool and unique. Take the subway to Rathaus Neukölln (U7) and walk to the somewhat sad looking Neukölln Arkaden (mall). Once in there, find the elevators that take you to the highest possible floor. Once you get out, you will find yourself in a parking garage atop the mall. Walk up to the ramp with the walls adorned by a funky vertical garden. You are now at one of the funkiest and coolest places to watch the sunset in Berlin. Wether you sit by the rooftop garden or on the benches, tables and steps of the bar area, you are in for a treat.

text: Share: Comments Print January 14, 2009 at 2:07 PM Speculation swirls on timeline for next version of Microsoft Office; test version of Web apps due this year Posted by Tricia Duryee With documentation and early code going out to select testers this week, another Microsoft guessing game is gaining favor: When will the company ship the next version of Office, known as Office 14? Earlier guesses had the company aiming for a dual Office-Windows release, as it has in the past. But speculation today points to a 2010 Office release. (Windows 7 is expected by many pundits to ship sometime later this year — despite Microsoft's official position that January 2010 is the target.) I had a chance to ask Justin Hutchinson, group product manager for the Office client team, about the schedule for the product last Thursday at the Consumer Electronics Show. Q: Is there any kind of goal to have Office in step with Windows 7 as Microsoft has done in the past? Hutchinson: "We certainly are focused on the product. We're less focused on Windows and Office together and more focused on putting out a great Office product. No real specifics to share of those two things in terms of their ship dates." Meanwhile, Office 2007 continues to sell like hotcakes. According to Amazon, Office Home and Student 2007 was the most purchased software in 2008, he said, adding, "NPD just told us we were the No. 1 selling U.S. retail software product for the second year in a row." But the software faces threats in the shape of Google's Docs and Spreadsheets, among others. Today, Google announced plans to begin allowing resellers — third-party software and service vendors — to sell a subscription version of the Web-based productivity software aimed at businesses, beginning at the end of March. Until now, Google has mostly sold its "Apps" suite directly to customers via the Web. Third-party resellers, who customize and support software, are a major part of Microsoft's sales strategy. The company has more than 640,000 partners in various categories around the world and says 95 percent of its revenues flow through this "virtual sales force." In October, Microsoft announced plans to offer Web-based versions of its popular Office products. I got a glimpse of the Office Web applications last week. Microsoft currently offers Office Live Workspace, a free, Web-based document storage and sharing service. In a demonstration, Michael Schultz, product management and marketing manager for Office Live, saved a Word document on Workspace and Hutchinson opened and edited it in a stripped-down Web version of Word running inside Apple's Safari Web browser. It was just an early technical preview, but the in-browser editing — including some text formatting and styles, table layout tools and more — ran smoothly in the demo I saw. The Web application had the "ribbon" user interface, very similar to Office 2007 and other applications coming in Windows 7. So what's the time line for the Office Web applications? Hutchinson said Microsoft will have more to disclose in the next 12 months. The company is planning a public test version of Office Web apps in 2009. And what of the business model? Google gives consumers access to its Web-based apps for free, monetizing them with advertising. "I think for right now, one of the things that we are passionate about is to get people to experience it and use it," said Schultz. "That's why we are providing the services component for free. That will be continue to be free to end users. How we monetize may change over time." Some portions of existing Office Live offerings, such as Office Live Small Business — free Web sites — are ad-funded. Office also does extremely well on the Mac. Is Microsoft planning an Office iPhone application in the future? Schultz said Microsoft will continue to listen to customers and give them what they want. "In terms of the way that we're opening up the Office Web applications to a Safari browser on the Mac is a good indication that we care about how people are working across devices, across browsers," he said.

On one busy Sunday morning, my children and I hurried into church ready to find our seats for the service. My husband, Chad, who sometimes plays guitar for the service, was already at church. As we walked into the church, I noticed a large table filled with pictures of adorable children from all over the world. I made a mental note to check out the table later. After church, I went to the table and learned that the children pictured were children in need of a sponsor. Once you signed up to sponsor a child, you would send the child's family much needed money as well as notes and letters of encouragement. I was immediately drawn to a little boy named Matt. I wanted to sponsor him, but knew I needed to see if my husband would want to sponsor someone as well. I asked Chad if he wanted to go over to the table and check it out. I didn't want to pressure Chad or convince him to choose Matt. When we walked over to the table with probably 30 to 40 children's pictures, Chad picked up Matt's picture and said he would like to sponsor him. I ecstatically exclaimed "He is who I chose!!" I couldn't believe it! We both chose Matt on our own! We knew Matt was the child we should sponsor. We still continue to sponsor and pray for Matt and his family today.

The Road to Ministry by Val Kenney
As we have just completed our fifth Youth Week at Quest, and I am now over midway through my fourth year as St. John's Youth Minister, I find it important to me to share my faith story and how I came to full time youth ministry through the writing of this blog called "The Road to Ministry."
In 1969, my family, which included an older sister and a younger brother, moved to Savannah, GA from Jacksonville. I was nine years old. I have to say that Savannah is where I have my fondest memories of my childhood. Savannah is where my involvement in UMYF began. After moving to Savannah my family almost immediately found a church home at White Bluff UMC. My parents inserted themselves and their three children into the life of White Bluff UMC. My parents were very active in the church from teaching Sunday School and helping at church dinners. My mom was in charge of all the crafts at Vacation Bible School, and my dad was active in the United Methodist Men. My mom even directed a womanless wedding play at the church.
I was a typical child, but I did cause my parents a lot of grief with my choices and my antics both at school and at home. I was a terrible son as I was rebellious and mean spirited. Then in July 1975 things changed. I was 15 years old and had just completed the 9th grade when I attended a high school Summer youth camp called Epworth-by-the-Sea at St. Simons Island, GA. The week I was there would begin to change my life. The week started out being boring to me, but little did I know that on Tuesday, July 15, 1975 I would feel the presence of God and that night accept Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. I was so on fire that my mom noticed something had changed in me. I told her I had accepted Jesus as my Savior. She was happy and relieved because for a long time she had been fervently praying for God to come into my life and wake me up. Things were good for about 11 months after that. Now I still had my faults and sinned every day. Then in April of 1976 my parents announced to us that my dad was being transferred from Savannah, GA. to the Birmingham, AL area. I was not happy, not at all. I was active in UMYF in Savannah and had a girlfriend that I would have to leave now. We moved in June or July of 1976 to Montevallo, AL just south of Birmingham. I got my first job with Pasquales Pizza, a restaurant owned by Pat & Dottie Reynolds. Pat and Dottie Reynolds were the parents of Cindy Sudderth, who would 6 years later become Cindy Kenney, my wife of 34 years. That is another story in itself.
After we have moved to Montevallo, AL, we found a church to join but it really didn't work well for us. You see, I was working 40 hours a week then and on Sundays. So after moving I wasn't involved in UMYF at all. So let's jump ahead to when I was 19 years old (1979). I started volunteering with the middle school youth at Central UMC in Alabaster, AL. My interest in the youth program was partly due to my 13 year old brother who wanted to be with his school friends at youth group. This is where I first felt my call to youth ministry. I acted on that calling by going to the church administration and said, "I feel called to youth ministry and would like to lead the youth." The answer I received was not the answer I expected or wanted to hear. Their answer, "You are too young!" I was completely devastated, hurt and yes even angry. So much that I walked away from that church dejected, beaten and deeply hurt. Looking back though, after many years, I can see God in that saying, "You were too young."
I joined the US Navy in February 1981 and spent four really good years on active duty. But something was still missing. Cindy and I married in June of 1982 and I was Honorably Discharged in 1985. I immediately went to work for Pitney Bowes, Inc. in Jacksonville, FL. My dad had worked for them in Birmingham. Something was still missing in my life. In 1985, Cindy and I joined 1st UMC in Jacksonville, FL and almost immediately felt the call to help with the youth group as a volunteer. There was a younger man at 1st UMC who was the youth minister. He welcomed both Cindy and I into the youth group as adult volunteers. We were there for 3 years and loved helping with the program. In 1988 I transferred to Tampa, FL from Jacksonville with Pitney Bowes. Cindy and I immediately found a church, St. Paul UMC in Largo, FL, to call our church home for our young family. Eleven years later, in 1999, I felt another stirring in my soul for youth ministry but did not know how to act on it at that time. You see I then was in the 14th year of a career in the copier industry and was moving up the ladder towards upper middle management.
Now fast forward to January 21, 2005 the worst day of my life! I was let go from my job just three weeks short of 20 years. I was completely devastated! I had poured my heart, soul, tears and blood into my career. But this loss was about to put into motion the ride of my life. After losing my "career," I took a job at Auto Zone, which I had gotten through a friend and brother in Christ. But working retail was not what I was use to after 19 years as a copier technician and manager. I then took a job at Office Depot in the print shop. One particular day, I had a really bad day at work. I went home and changed my wording on Monster.com looking for a job back in my field of expertise. I found a job listing with Konica Minolta that would require me to move to the Carolina's. Konica Minolta paid for my move. We found our home in one visit to Rock Hill. We also found St. John's after visiting three other churches in the area and knew as soon as we walked into St. John's that we were home. I started helping with Quest in August of 2006. Austin Bond was hired as the youth minister at St. John's in July 2007. In August 2011 Austin announced that he was moving back to his home area to be the youth minister at Belin UMC in Murrells Inlet. After Austin Bond told the youth he was leaving, a couple of youth responded, "is Val replacing you?" Looking back that was the first affirmation. I promised Jenifer that I would definitely pray about the opportunity. The next day as I was traveling to Knoxville, TN for work every church I passed had on their signs the same scripture, Jeremiah 29:11. Every song that came on the radio was about trusting God and stepping out of the boat. Looking back I can see God putting everything into motion by my losing my job of 19 years. Konica Minolta paying for my complete move to Rock Hill, finding St. John's and finding Quest. God does work in mysterious ways.
Words cannot describe the joy I feel daily since Chaplin Spencer called me on November 15, 2011 to offer me the position of Youth Minister at St. John's. I am blessed beyond measure each day to be in ministry with each of you, to be in ministry with amazing people on staff at St. John's, and to see youth grow in their faith and come to the knowledge of God's immense love for them. Thank you God for telling me, when I was 19 years old, "You're too young."

Retired Bravo among senior players poised for WI recall
ST JOHN'S, Antigua (CMC) — Cricket West Indies' (CWI) new selection panel says it has reached out to several previously marginalised senior players, including retired all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, and is hoping to have them available for future selection.
This comes as CWI looks to revamp its selection policy, with the aim of keeping the process free of outside interference and ultimately selecting the strongest squads possible for international assignments.
Speaking at a media conference here this week, newly appointed interim chairman of selectors Robert Haynes said contact had already been made with the likes of Bravo and Pollard, with the players indicating their desire to represent the Caribbean side.
"Between the coach (Floyd Reifer) and I, we've been talking to a lot of players and for sure...we've been in contact with these players and we want them to understand that once they're available, we'll be thinking about them," Haynes said.
"And they all agree they want to play for West Indies and that to me, is very important. And it's also important to the fans around the Caribbean that when you have your top players involved in international cricket and not representing the West Indies, and these guys are hungry for victory.
"Honestly, I believe it's a good move in terms of the policy, because I must admit the fact that I would not have been here if I did not agree with the policy in terms of going forward. And it's really something I'm looking forward to — working with Jimmy and the other stakeholders, and the coach and the captain," said Haynes.
He added: "For me it's a tremendous feeling and it's something I've been looking forward to for a number of years — to get all of our players involved in West Indies cricket."
Last year Bravo retired from all forms of cricket following his participation for Trinidad and Tobago Red Force in the Regional Super50, saying it was important to "leave the international arena for the next generation of players".
The 35-year-old played 40 Tests, 164 One-Day Internationals and 66 T20 Internationals, but had not turned out for the Windies since the ill-fated T20 series against Pakistan in United Arab Emirates in 2016.
Kieron Pollard, meanwhile, last represented West Indies on the T20 tour of India last October. Like Bravo, his name has been associated with selection for next month's 50-overs World Cup in England, but he has not played an ODI in three years.
Another Trinidadian, off-spinner Sunil Narine, has also remained on the sidelines of late, last seen in West Indies colours two years ago.
CWI President Ricky Skerritt said many of these players were still committed to West Indies duty, and a system is now needed to be developed which could see them returning to international cricket.
"This has been a very volatile issue and our policy has been very clear," said Skerritt, who assumed the presidency last month after toppling three-term incumbent Dave Cameron.
"There's a myth that our elite players don't want to play for the West Indies. Over the last couple of weeks we've engaged several of them and, prior to the election, I personally engaged several of them — and the desire and hunger to play for their West Indian colours is as strong as ever.
"What we have to do is to make sure we put systems in place that can respect the players and help the players to respect their responsibility when they are actually involved in West Indies cricket, and do it in a way that is clearly communicated, and that there's mutual respect and understanding.
"I have no doubt that in the hearts and in the minds of all of these players, the performance of the West Indies team and being involved in a successful West Indies team set-up is important to them."
The Courtney Browne-led selection panel was this week sacked and replaced by Haynes, Reifer and director of cricket Jimmy Adams as selectors.
And Skerritt said going forward, selection would be based purely on cricketing criteria and not insularity.
"Obviously, we have to get some of the types of interference that has prevailed in the past out of the way of cricket," he noted.
"We said cricket first, and cricket is best handled by people who understand cricket, who have played cricket, who love cricket, and who focus on cricket and not on insular needs," Skerritt ended.

Out of an impromptu talk with a teenage black belt came the discussion for this episode:
It's important to cultivate REAL relationships. People are in our lives either for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Learn the difference.
Leadership is like an arrow. The arrow's tip (the leader) must have mass behind it (quality relationships), otherwise it's nothing. Find good leaders and mentors (ones with no hidden agendas). Follow them and emulate them.
Realize that not only WILL you fail, you NEED to fail in order to grow. Endure hardship. Know that there WILL be suffering at times. We must learn and grow (mentally, physically, and/or spiritually) from failure and suffering. Last week we talked about remaining calm to "weather the storm."
Here's the video "The Millennial Question" from Simon Sinek that we talk about:
Tell us about a relationship (good or bad) that has changed your life. Is there/was there a strong leader that you learned from? What hardship changed you and made you grow as a person? Tell us in the comments.

2 inches of snow is called "Spring" up here.

Love this. Here in Lexington, Ky we have about 3 inches on the ground and it is still beautifully snowing. I am more concerned about the 6 inches predicted for Friday, but you know, we have hay in the barn and pet food. And people food. And Monday it is supposed to be 42 degrees. I think we can hang on.

Haha! Your Oscar sounds like my feral Grapenut... ferals are little bottomless pits when it comes to cold weather! I've never understood how he fits so much food in and still keeps his trim shape. :-) My 2 steeds are blanketed too and all set for 1-2 ft of snow here in VA. Regardless of the amount of snow you get, stay warm and safe! :-)

Alright, let's face it. Some of you haven't decided on a Halloween costume yet and are panicking because you're basically out of time. Well, good news! We have a few ideas to help get your creativity working and motivate you to get that costume done.
1. An old-school skier. Skiing has been around for awhile, so this could mean dressing up in florescent colors or a one piece ski suit, but in the spirit of Halloween we are thinking of something much much creepier… like these dolls we've found in our collection…
2. A Sourdough Expedition mountaineer. Now, for those of you that don't know about the Sourdough Expedition in 1910, I'll catch you up to speed. In 1910, four Yukon gold miners set out to make the first ascent of Denali in order to win a $500 bet. Surprisingly, the Sourdoughs ended up making the first ascent of Denali's north summit and did so in homemade crampons, carrying a fourteen-foot spruce pole and summit day rations of a bag of donuts and a thermos of hot chocolate!
Items needed:
Fourteen-foot pole (spruce for historical accuracy)
Rubber boots
Homemade crampons
Light parka
Thermos of hot chocolate*
Bag of donuts*
*make sure you bring enough to share
3. A mountain. This suggestion will work very well for a very last minute costume. There are many mountains that resemble a sheet loosely draped over a human. Some of these mountains are Assiniboine, the Matterhorn, or the mountain turned Game of Thrones actor Kirkjufell.
Items needed:
One bed sheet (Gray or White)*
*A gray sheet gives a rocky mountain feeling while a white sheet will give off a more snowy vibe.
4. A yeti. The mythological (maybe?) creature of the high mountains is a great costume that you can make as scary as you like. Plus, depending on your Halloween climate, this can be a very warm costume option. Get inspired with some yeti history here.
Items needed:
Lots of faux fur (white or brown depending on which legend your yeti is based off of).
Big furry gloves
Big furry shoes
And now for the final and by far the scariest costume idea we have
5. A marmot. Marmots, sometimes referred to as, "whistle pigs," are viscous creatures that will pester you for your trail mix when you're looking and when you're not looking try to eat your shoes and backpack straps.
Items needed:
Lots of brown faux fur
Make up. It is very important at the very least that you use some make up to make a cute little button nose; this is how marmots guilt hikers into giving them food and lulls hikers into thinking that the marmot will not destroy their equipment.
A willingness to chew on other people's costumes.
Happy trick and/or treating!

I come to praise the president, not to criticize him.
That's because he reminds me of me.
Both of us have been self-sacrificial in doing our filial duties
to our fathers. Take me, for instance.
My father was a very fast runner. He ran the quarter-mile in
college back in the 1920s. For several decades he held the school record
for that distance, having once run it in a little less than 50 seconds.
In his twenties and early thirties, he would often run footraces with
younger men down the main street of our town.
And no matter who he ran against, my father would always win.
Then in his late thirties, he got fat and his running days were
over. Newcomers to our town could not believe that my pot-bellied father
had ever been able to run fast. When he told them he had once run the
quarter-mile in a little less than 50 seconds, they rolled their eyes and
my father grew despondent.
And that's when, like the current president, I decided I had some
self-sacrificial duties to attend to.
I was in high school, and our track coach, who had heard rumors of
my father's speed, decided it might be hereditary. He told me I should
run the quarter-mile too, so I did.
But I never ran it in a little less than 50 seconds. I never ran
it in a little less than 60 seconds.
I could have, of course, but I chose not to out of filial duty. I
knew that if I ran slow, the old-timers would come around to console my
father. "Too bad about that boy of yours," they'd say. "Tell us again
how fast you ran the quarter-mile."
So my father, torn between pride in his performance and shame in
mine, would have to say "I ran it in a little less than 50 seconds." And
the old-timers would whistle and say nobody in town, maybe nobody in the
county, would ever ran the quarter-mile that fast again.
And every time I'd run slow, they'd talk about how fast my father
had run.
He would be gratified, and I would be pleased by my
Which brings me back to our president and why I come to praise
Like me, he has selflessly thrown his own reputation to the wind
in order to remind us of his father's past glory.
For example, George II sat out the Vietnam War in the "Champagne Unit"
of the Texas Air National Guardeven though he knew he thereby was
blowing a chance to fight in Vietnam. He did it to remind us that his father
was a genuine WW2 hero, shot down in the Pacific and awarded the Distinguished
Flying Cross.
George II got elected president even though he got half a million
fewer votes than Gore. He arranged it that way so we would all remember
that when his father was elected president, he got more, not fewer, votes
than the other guy.
George II pretended to buyhook, line, and sinkerhis staff's
argument for pre-emptive military strikes against whoever gets in our way.
And that, of course, was to remind us that his father had the good sense
to reject that very policy when it was first proposed in 1992.
George II used the pre-emption policy to go to war in Iraq twelve
days agowithout UN approval or NATO support. There will be lots of
urban fighting, and as the president said last week, "this war is far from
His point, see, was to make us recall that his father's ground war
against Iraq in 1991 was supported by both the UN and NATO, was confined
to desert fighting, and lasted less than a week. Our bill was only $7
billion because George I got our allies to pay the other $54 billion the
war cost.
George II last week asked Congress for $74.7 billion to pay for
the first month of the current war. That request came shortly after the
president had asked Congress for a $726 billion tax cut. He did that so
we'd recall his father's superior understanding of arithmetic.
You know, of course, why the president walks funny. To remind us
that his father didn't walk funny.
And so forth. The list goes on and on, but you get the idea. Our
president goes to heroic lengths to look bad so that his father, by
contrast, will look good.
Greater love hath no son than this, that he lay down his
reputation for the glory of his father.
Say, did I ever tell you about how I ran slowon purposeso that
people would talk about how fast my father had run?

This weekend I hosted a charity event at our place through the meetups I organize to benefit the Susan G Komen Foundation. 20% of all merchandise sales from orders until 10/31 are going to the Susan G Komen Foundation. To show attendees what they could do with SU! products by displaying a lot of cards and scrapbook pages. Additionally, there were some cards for them to make. Plus I got to show them this cool technique for 'stamping' on candles I learned from my upline.
In addition to the cards I showed them how easy it is to create cute candles by 'stamping' on them!
The butterfly candle is one image, the cherry candle is one piece of tissue that was stamped several times, and the birthday candle is a Stampin' Around image on one piece of tissue.Supplies: candle white tissue paper wax paper heat gun 1. Stamp on the tissue paper. You can even color in the image with markers 2. Cut out the image as close as possible. 3. Lay the stamped image on the candle and hold it in place with a wax paper wrap. This also creates a handle so you do not burn your fingers too badly! 4. Heat the image and candle with your heat gun. The image appears shiny as it begins to adhere itself to the candle. 5. Slowly pull off the wax paper. If areas are not properly attached to the candle wrap again and heat. FYI- You do not want to re-use the wax paper from candle to candle, or if you do multiple images on a candle.

Along the border between Iraq and Turkey, guards are keeping a watchful eye out for oil smugglers. Oil from the Islamic State's territories feeds an estimated $1 million a day into the organization's coffers and is an essential part of its financing.
The smuggling routes are decades old, and corruption – in the oil fields, along the pipelines and across borders – provides significant economic incentives for many.
Iraqi Army Retakes Government Complex in Central Ramadi
Efforts to stem the rise of the Islamic State.
But American-led airstrikes on Islamic State-controlled oil refineries are taking a toll on the organization.
"No matter how much crude ISIS controls, if they don't have anywhere to refine it and they don't have anywhere to sell it, then it becomes almost useless to them," said Ben Van Heuvelen, the managing editor of Iraq Oil Report.
The group, also known as ISIS or ISIL, is now believed to be desperate for fuel. Border guards report being offered bribes to smuggle fuel back into Islamic State-held territories, and the group no longer wastes fuel parading convoys through the streets as it did last summer.
"I think when you talk to most military and intelligence officials in Washington and in London, they will tell you, ultimately, to stop ISIS on the ground, you're going to need a ground force," said David E. Sanger, the chief Washington correspondent for The New York Times. But, he said, "oil is the way to starve ISIS."

HAMSTERS & HEROIN: Not all junkies are purse-snatching grandmother-killing psychos. I'm keeping this blog to bear witness to that fact.
Gledwoods deutscher Blog
I was told by a mental health nurse that my heroin addiction was "self medication" for a mood disorder that has recently become severe enough to cause psychotic episodes. As well as methadone I take antipsychotics daily. Despite my problems I consider myself a very sane person. My priority is to attain stability. I go to Narcotics Anonymous because I "want what they have" ~ Serenity.
My old blog used to say "candid confessions of a heroin and crack cocaine addict" how come that one comes up when I google "heroin blog" and not this one. THIS IS MY BLOG. I don't flatter myself that every reader knows everything about me and follows closely every single word every day which is why I repeat myself. Most of that is for your benefit not mine.
This is my own private diary, my journal. It is aimed at impressing no-one. It is kept for my own benefit to show where I have been and hopefully to put off somebody somewhere from ever getting into the awful mess I did and still cannot crawl out of. Despite no drugs. I still drink, I'm currently working on reducing my alcohol intake to zero.
If you have something to say you are welcome to comment. Frankness I can handle. Timewasters should try their own suggestions on themselves before wasting time thinking of ME.
PS After years of waxing and waning "mental" symptoms that made me think I had depression and possibly mild bipolar I now have found out I'm schizoaffective. My mood has been constantly "cycling" since December 2010. Mostly towards mania (an excited non-druggy "high"). For me, schizoaffective means bipolar with (sometimes severe) mania and flashes of depression (occasionally severe) with bits of schizophrenia chucked on top. You could see it as bipolar manic-depression with sparkly knobs on ... I'm on antipsychotic pills but currently no mood stabilizer. I quite enjoy being a bit manic it gives the feelings of confidence and excitement people say they use cocaine for. But this is natural and it's free, so I don't see my "illness" as a downer. It does, however, make life exceedingly hard to engage with...
PPS The "elevated mood" is long gone. Now I'm depressed. Forget any ideas of "happiness" I have given up heroin and want OFF methadone as quick as humanly possible. I'm fed up of being a drug addict. Sick to death of it. I wanna be CLEAN!!!

Hi Gledwood, Thanks for visiting me. I took the top quiz and we had some similarities in our results. I am "Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving."

Then, when it's done, click on Repeat Play and you get the full entertainment without interruption. While you watch screen one, do the same to screens 2, 3 and so on. So as each bit finishes, the next part's ready and waiting.

In-depth portrait of the Afghan heroin trade at its very height. Includes heroin-lab bust. "Afghanistan's Fateful Harvest"
Classic miniseries whose title became a catchphrase for the misery of life in East Asian prison. Nicole Kidman plays a privileged middle-class girl set up to mule heroin through Thai customs with the inevitable consequences. This is so long it had to be posted in two parts. "Bangkok Hilton 1" (first 2 hours or so); "Bangkok Hilton 2" (last couple of hours).
Short film: from tapwater-clear H4 in the USA to murky black Afghan brown in Norway: "Heroin Addicts Speak"
Before his untimely death this guy kept a video diary. Here's the hour-long highlights as broadcast on BBC TV: "Ben: Diary of a Heroin Addict". Thanks to Noah for the original link.
Some of the most entertaining scenes from Britain's top soap (as much for the poor research as anything else). Not even Phil Mitchell would go from nought to multi-hundred pound binges this fast: "Phil Mitchell on Crack" (just over 5 minutes).
Scientist lady shows us how to cook up gear: "How Much Citric?" Lucky cow: her brown is 70% purity! Oddly we never see her actually do her hit... maybe she got camera shy...
And lastly:
German documentary following a life from teenage addiction to untimely death before the age of 30. The decline in this girl's appearance is truly shocking. "Süchtig: Protokoll einer Hilflosigkeit". Sorry no subtitles; this is here for anyone learning German who's after practice material a little more gripping than Lindenstraße!

text: Autumn is officially here! I don't know about you, but here in southern California, we don't see a lot of color change in the trees, so I'm making up for my lack of fall foliage with this autumnal inspired roundup. I discovered this image on Pinterest and was immediately drawn to the shades of steely gray and rusty terra cotta combined with all of the cozy textures. I also love that the styling feels casual and a little bit messy or "unfinished." It feels authentic. I did some internet snooping and found some amazing pieces that recreate the warm seasonal look. Let's get cozy!

And the 30-year-old could go straight into the starting line-up for Saturday's game against Morton.
Parkin said: "I want to be the person to come in and score the goals that fire the club up the table and keeps us in this league.
"Everyone I spoke to about the club led me to believe that this team is in a slightly false position.
"People have told me that Queens have been pretty unlucky in a lot of games this season and are missing a bit of cutting edge."
Parkin arrives at Palmerston with plenty of experience under his belt having previously played down south for Swindon, Ipswich and Luton.
The Surrey-born forward came through the youth ranks at Chelsea and enjoyed his most successful spell to date at The Robins where he notched over 70 goals in three seasons.
He joined St Johnstone in July 2010 and but was allowed to leave after failing to force his way back into new manager Steve Lomas's plans.
"Unfortunately I was out for the majority of last season after a bad injury and haven't really played much first-team football this season," he said.
"The new manager came in with his own ideas and that was always a bit of a worry for me.
"It was a concern when Derek McInnes and Tony Docherty left the club because they brought me to the club and showed a lot faith in me.
"I left with good memories and now I just want to get back on the pitch, playing regular football and scoring goals.
"I am very settled where I live in Scotland and the team trains down the road from me so that is ideal."
Parkin has signed a deal that will keep him at Palmerston until the end of the season. He said: "I want to get my chance up top and hopefully score a few goals.
"I never managed to score that many goals during my time at St Johnstone but I certainly do know how to find the net.
"First and foremost, I will bring hard work and committment.
"The manager has been looking to bring in a player who can be a focal point of the side and I want to be that player.
"I haven't seen a lot of football at this level but I am confident that I can bring a lot to the team."
Parkin added: "I had a good few chats with the manager recently. He was persistent, in the nicest possible way, and I was very happy with what he told me.
"I also had a few chats with different clubs over the past week but I liked what the manager had to say.
"I had a good gut feeling about what the manager said to me and that's what I based my decision on."
Doonhamers manager Gus MacPherson was delighted to seal the deal and said Parkin is in contention for tomorrow's game against Morton.
He said: "Sam has a lot of experience and game knowledge that the younger players will benefit from.
"He will be a great addition to the squad and will bring a lot both from his own abilities and what he can offer to others.
"He can score goals but also bring other players into the game.
"Players like Danny Carmichael and Gavin Reilly, the younger strikers, will benefit from his experience."
MacPherson added: "We spoke to Sam a couple of weeks ago and hopefully this will be the first of a few to come in this month.
"As we have said before, it has been very frustrating for us.
"We have had to be reliant on other people helping us a bit and all credit to Sam for deciding that he wants to play here.
"We are delighted to have him on board.
"There were two or three other clubs also interested in Sam and we are very happy that is here.
"He has listened to us and we have been able to convince him that he can enjoy his football here."

CORONA – The chorus of voices grew, the sound bouncing from wall to wall in Corona Santiago's gym like a pingpong game.
Photo Gallery: Norco defeats Diamond Ranch
One side had the momentum. Then the other side grabbed it.
Finally, the voices on one side of the gym exploded in one massive cheer; the other side fell silent.
The Norco girls basketball team won a heartstopping 69-68 overtime thriller against Diamond Ranch on Tuesday night, advancing to the CIF-SS Division II-AA championship game at the Pyramid in Long Beach.
"In order to be a coach, you have to have CPR (training)," Norco coach Rick Thompson said. "I just never thought I'd have to use it on myself."
With 6.6 seconds remaining in overtime, Diamond Ranch inbounded the ball at the far end of the court, down one point.
The No. 2 seed Panthers (27-2) put the ball in the hands of their most reliable ballhandler, senior Eliza Dy, who streaked down the court and tried to toss up an off-balance layup.
But the shot wasn't close, and the buzzer sounded to end Diamond Ranch's CIF title defense as No. 3 seed Norco (27-2) celebrated.
The game was highlighted by two exceptional performances.
Norco won in large part because spunky sharpshooter Tyler Howard hit nine 3-pointers and scored a total of 30 points.
That helped the Cougars survive a phenomenal performance from UCLA-bound star Nina Earl, who poured in 39 points on 16-of-24 shooting to go along with 12 rebounds, three blocks and three steals. She hit all eight of her shots in the second half.
Dy tied the game at 65 on a pair of free throws with 50.5 seconds remaining in regulation. Neither team scored the rest of the way, and the Panthers tried an inbounds play with one second left, but Dy missed a tough layup.
In overtime, Norco's Cierra Windham (26 points) scored the first four points, but Earl cut the lead to 69-67 with a pair of free throws.
The Cougars committed an offensive foul on their next possession to give Earl a one-and-one with 39 seconds left, but she missed the second shot.
Dy got her last-chance run following a Norco turnover, but the Cougars survived.
"One point doesn't make us the better team," Thompson said. "It just lets us play next week."
Diamond Ranch could still make the CIF-State tournament, but coach Vince Spirlin wasn't sure.
"It just didn't fall our way," he said. "In a game that close, funny things are gonna happen. We put ourselves in that predicament."
Said Howard: "We came here with one goal and that was to get to the Pyramid. We were determined to win and we wanted it more."

this post used to have a clip from when kevin costner spoke so movingly at whitney houston's wake this past weekend in jersey. he kept saying how she would say how she hoped she was good enough. good enough. when she was so the definition of great. sigh. my last post on chris brown and rihanna was right after he had mauled her. and that post got thousands of hits. which made me feel like my writing was probably not just good enough, but was great. necessary. anyway, i have only this to say about the patterns of love and hate unfolding, ricocheting like bullets around us. sheesh, what with being force fed a false election process and now the public self-immolation of other great singers, the drama factor filling air waves filtering all through us is hectic. so in the midst of all these wars, i've been turning back to the art of war, which i once used to help teach tupac's machiavelli in my hip hop politics class, the 2011 fall semester, at pace. here's the quote:
"therefore a victorious army first wins and then seeks battle; a defeated army first battles and then seeks victory." i like it, because it reminds me to be present in victory every day, every hour, every moment, each breath. and, of course, it speaks to strategy, and taking time to set the game plan for victory in motion in the here and now, arrow how, you reach your mark, a win for the artful warrior will not be a lark. so yeah, taking time to plan. and focus with every breath i can.

The BKB Investment Solution – Rule based (CHF) is a strategic fund. From an investment amount of CHF 10,000, you can profit from the comprehensive asset management of Basler Kantonalbank and its many years of expertise gained in the investment business.
This type of management, based on algorithmic rules, creates systematic investment decisions that are not characterized by subjective, human decisions. The so-called rule-based approach combines three different strategy modules: "Rebalancing", "Trend" and "Relative Strength". The investment capital is allocated to various investment classes and adjusts dynamically to the market environment. Depending upon the tactical investment signals, the allocation may vary greatly. Investment signals are derived from clear, predefined evidence-based rules from market data. Changes in the investment signals are checked for their credibility by BKB.
The allocation of the investment classes adapts of necessity to the market environment. In difficult market phases, the allocation of the investment classes is comparable to a defensive risk profile with a lower proportion of shares. Given upward phases, advantage must be taken of investment opportunities; in so doing, the proportion of shares will be increased.
The BKB Investment Solution – Rule based (CHF) is especially suited to investors with an increased readiness to assume risk and who prefer a dynamic investment style. Because of the very active style of investment, the investor must be prepared to accept fluctuations in value. In the index funds and ETFs deployed, cost-efficient, index-tracking management takes precedence. Your capital will be invested mainly in investments in Swiss francs.
The Investment Account gives you the possibility to handle payments to the Investment Solution (BKB Investment Solution) in a flexible and uncomplicated way. At best you increase your investment continuously with a standing order. Furthermore you can arrange individual payments to the Investment Account. Your account balance will as a rule be invested on a daily basis (at approx. 8.30 a.m. CET) in the investment fund selected by you. In addition you have the overview in E-Banking and you are able to initiate additional payments yourself.
This information serves advertising purposes exclusively. For the strategy fund BKB Investment Solution – Rule based (CHF), we would refer you to the prospectus and the Key Investor Information. You can get these free of charge on our website at www.bkb.ch and in paper form at all branches of Basler Kantonalbank, from the fund management or from the custody bank.

Accounting for intangible asset has gained prominence in the past few decades due to changes in the way the business world operates. Intangible assets are either acquired in a business combination on developed internally. In case of acquisition in a business combination such assets are recorded at their air value, while in case of internally generated intangible assets the assets are recognized at the cost incurred in development phrase. In relation to the development of internally generated intangible assets there are two phrases research phases and development phase. Research phase includes all activities and cost incurred before the intangible assets is commercially feasible, while the development phase include all activities and costs incurred after the asset is established to be commercially feasible. All costs in research phase are expensed in the period incurred while costs incurred in development phase are capitalized. Intangible assets are typically expensed according to their respective life expectancy. Intangible assets have either an identifiable or indefinite useful life. Intangible assets with identifiable useful lives are amortized on a straight line basis over their economic or legal life, which ever is shorter. Examples of intangible assets with identifiable useful like include copyrights and patents intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reassessed each year for impairment. If an impairment has occurred, then a loss in determined by subtracting the assets fair value from the asset's book / carrying value. Trademarks and goodwill are examples of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Goodwill has to be tested for impairment rather than amortized if impaired, goodwill is reduced and loss is recognized in income statement.
According to International Accounting standards Board Standard 38 (IAS 38) defines an intangible asset as: "an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance. This definition is in addition to the standard definition of an asset which requires a past event that has given rise to resource that the entity controls and from which future economic benefits an expected to flow. Thus, the extra requirement for an intangible asset under IAS 38 is identifiable. This criterion refines that an intangible asset is separable from the entity or that it arises from a contractual or right.According to financial accounting standards Board (FASB) Accounting standard codification 350 (ASC 350) defines a intangible asset as an asset, other than financial asset that lacks physical substance. The lack f physical would therefore seen to be a define characteristic of an intangible asset. Both the (IASB) and (FASB) definition specifically preclude monetary assets in their definition of in intangible asset. This is necessary in or to avoid the classification of items such as accounts receivable, derivatives and cash in the.....

OTTAWA, Ontario (CNS) — A Catholic leader joined several organizations opposed to euthanasia in condemning Quebec's "dying with dignity" law that brings Belgium-style euthanasia to the province.
The new law, Bill 52, passed June 5 by a 94-22 vote. It outlines the conditions under which terminally ill Quebeckers can request medical aid in dying.
It treats euthanasia as health care, which falls under provincial jurisdiction, while the Criminal Code, which lists the practice as culpable homicide, is under federal jurisdiction.
Federal Justice Minister Peter MacKay has not indicated what action, if any, the federal government will take.
Cardinal Gerald Cyprien Lacroix of Quebec expressed disappointment in the bill's passage on his Facebook page.
"I hoped until the last moment that our members (would) not vote in favor of this bill, which introduced euthanasia with all its consequences. I am very disappointed," the post said.
"Now, we will have to work with even more zeal to accompany the people at the end of life so that they do not have to request euthanasia," the post added.
In a speech at a vigil outside the National Assembly on the eve of the vote, Cardinal Lacroix said there was no consensus on euthanasia, contrary to what governmental officials have been saying. He also noted the sense of disquiet, especially among older Quebeckers.
The Physicians' Alliance Against Euthanasia and the Montreal-based Living with Dignity vowed to challenge the law in court on constitutional grounds.
"With few exceptions, our elected officials have also chosen to ignore that Quebec does not have jurisdiction to decriminalize euthanasia," Living with Dignity said in a statement. "Kill a patient, even at his request, not a care; this is a homicide prohibited by the Criminal Code."
"This is a serious betrayal of the sick and the dying, as the killing of a patient who is dying is not a treatment, but a homicide," said the physicians' group said in a separate statement.
Alex Schadenberg, executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, said his organization would support any legal challenge to the law.
"Let's be clear, Bill 52 gives Quebec physicians the right to intentionally and directly cause the death of persons by lethal injection," Schadenberg wrote on his blog. "This represents an act of homicide and not an act of 'end of life care.'"
He described the law as "imprecise, open to abuse and based on the Belgian euthanasia law."
"In Belgium, euthanasia is being done to people who are not terminally ill but living with depression; euthanasia has been extended to children and studies have proven that euthanasia is often done to people without request," he said.
Palomar Aguilar, MacKay's spokeswoman, said in an email that the government believes "the Criminal Code provisions prohibiting assisted suicide and euthanasia are in place to protect all persons, including those who are most vulnerable in our society. The Supreme Court of Canada acknowledged the state interest in protecting human life and upheld the constitutionality of the existing legislation 20 years ago in the Rodriguez decision."
In the case, a Victoria, British Columbia, woman, Sue Rodriguez, sought to have a legal right to assisted suicide after being diagnosed in 1991 with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, known as Lou Gehrig's disease. She took her cause to the Supreme Court of Canada, but lost in a 5-4 vote. In 1994, she took her own life with the help of an anonymous physician. Assisted suicide remains punishable with a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison under the Criminal Code.
Aguilar also noted that the Canadian Parliament voted in April 2010 by "a large majority" not to change the laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide, "which is an expression of democratic will on this topic."

A Snapchat Fashion Campaign? How Tech is Changing the Fashion Industry
It's hard to ignore the many ways in which social media and app interfaces have revolutionized the world of high fashion–from redefining the meaning of ready-to-wear (many designers allow their collections to be purchased the minute their looks hit the runway) to propelling new faces and brands to the forefront of the industry through their skillful navigation of platforms such as Instagram.
It seems as if user friendly, fast fashion has reached an all time fever pitch–from designers scouting their next cover girls through Instagram competitions to unveiling campaigns online or over social media weeks before their printed release. Most recently, Snapchat became an essential platform for sharing the ins and outs of fall/winter ready-to-wear fashion weeks around the world. The app highlighted city specific "Snapstories" for the New York, London, Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks, which featured a compilation of Snaps from famous bloggers, models, designers and show attendees. Magazines also took matters into their own hands, with Vogue and W magazine inviting industry insiders to take over their accounts to document each day.
Snapchat, it appears, is the latest go to platform for major fashion labels. Tommy Hilfiger recently announced over Instagram a competition that offers five lucky fans the opportunity to join current campaign stars Hailey Baldwin and Lucky Blue Smith in Hilfiger's latest #HilfigerDenim photoshoot. The instructions simply prompt Snapchatters to tell the label why they deserve a coveted spot on the campaign in a creative way, and of course, under the constraint's of Snapchat's ten second video limit.
Similarly, British brand Burberry is utilizing Snapchat as a platform for sharing their latest Mr. Burberry mens fragrance and grooming products campaign. The advertisements can be viewed via the Snapchat Discovery feature, which was also utilized to advertise the brand's fall/winter collection during London Fashion Week. Burberry and Snapchat are also collaborating on Snapcodes—"scannable in-store promotions that enable consumers to unlock Mr. Burberry-themed content using mobile devices" (RetailDIVE).
There is, of course, a caveat to this mutually beneficial merger between fashion and tech. Among other issues, these collaborations frequently eliminate or throw into question the role of traditional advertising, marketing and print industries within the schema of the fashion and technology.

Sportivate was a national participation programme, funded by Sport England, which ran from 2011 until 2018. It provided a range of attractive, accessible and sustainable sporting activities for 11-25 year olds, primarily targeting those who undertook little, or no exercise.
The programme was co-ordinated by us in Tyne & Wear. The final figures showed that approximately 26,000 young people from across the sub-region attended at least five of their six sessions, hugely exceeding the target set by Sport England.
Sportivate had a significant impact on the lives of young people in Tyne & Wear and led to a large number of inactive young people becoming much more regularly active following their involvement in the programme.
During 2017-2018, 266 activities were delivered, engaging 2579 participants. One of the activities which was successfully delivered in 2017/18 was Us Girls Do at Nunsmoor Community Centre in Newcastle.
The Us Girls Do project was established in response to demand from local young women from black, Asian and ethnic minority groups who wanted to get more involved in sport and physical activity.
Consultations with the potential female participants ascertained the types of activities that they were keen to take part in. The Sportivate sessions were then established and promoted, which included boxing, boxercise and fitness classes. Being mindful of cultural sensitivities, all of the activities were delivered by female coaches/instructors, in a female only environment.
Following the six week blocks of activities, the participants were encouraged and assisted to continue their involvement with sport in a number of ways.
"Some of the participants progressed onto activities such as fitness, netball and swimming, others with the support of EMTEP and Northumbria University Sports Development have pursued fencing and sabre, attending international tournaments. In addition, some of the BAME young women have now undertaken activator courses to support the future delivery of activities within the local community."

Since the staggering success of Pokemon GO, we can only assume it's just a matter of time before other franchises jump on the Augmented Reality band wagon, perhaps starting with Harry Potter GO?

Just to reiterate, this not a game that's currently in development nor is there anything that leads us to believe that this will come to fruition soon. However, an online petition called 'Accio Harry Potter Go: We Want a Harry Potter Version of Pokemon Go!' has been launched and it has almost 50,000 signatures.
