7 Reasons to Fall in Love with Salvador, Brazil
Salvador is the perfect entry point for anyone backpacking through Brazil. This stunning coastal city, the capital during the height of Brazil's slave trade, is now a mellow, friendly outpost. And I can guarantee it will take your breathe away. It's no surprise that Savador's city's centre has been declared a World Heritage Site given the sheer beauty of its colourful crumbling buildings and cobblestone streets. Plus, its dark past has ironically led to a beautifully diverse local population. I have never been surrounded by so many curls in my life!
I'd been forewarned about Salvador's safety issues, making me wary of how much I'd enjoy it. Thankfully my fears were largely unfounded; we didn't have any trouble. I think so long as you're a discrete traveller who sticks to subtle clothing, leaves the jewellery at home, hides her phone after use and always books a cab after dark, you'll be absolutely fine.
Our stay in the uber-cool Hostel Galeria, a friendly hostel in the centre of the Old Town also influenced our first impressions. Our booking not only included a tasty traditional Brazilian breakfast (which, for the record, always includes cake. Um, hello, heaven!) but also a daily caipirinha happy hour which made for a great way to get to know the other guests. We spent a total of three nights there, which was just enough to provide you with a killer to-do list to make you fall madly in love with Salvador too:
1) Have a wander through the Pelourinho. This is the heart of the Old Town, which in a previous life was the whipping post for African slaves being punished. Pelourinho means pillory in Portuguese. Today, as you wander among the pastel-coloured colonial homes, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. The centre is small and walkable, so consider doing a loop to get your bearings first and then pick a cafe to sample a tropical fruit juice (passionfruit, perhaps?) and cool off.
2) Try moqueca. More than once. I could not get enough of this tasty dish. This stew usually contains onions, coconut milk, palm oil (a Brazilian staple), garlic, coriander and your choice of prawns or fish. It's served on a terracota dish which comes out steaming hot (or is kept over the fire) and it's absolutely to-die-for. It's a bit like a curry, but even better.
3) Take a tour of the flashy Igreja São Francisco. This spectacular Baroque church will stun (or blind) you with its bling. Built in the early 1700s, it's a display of colonial wealth in its fully glory. We took a tour with a local guide who seriously knew his stuff and I thoroughly enjoyed not only learning about the church's architecture but also about the rich and fascinating history of Salvador itself.
4) Make the trip to Igreja do Nosso Senhor do Bonfim. This church is legendary in Bahia; some go there on a pilgrimage. The story goes that in an attempt to raise funds the church starting starting selling fitas (ribbons) for people to wear and make wishes. The tradition stuck and they're still sold today. You buy a fita, make your wish and wear it until it naturally wears off. When it finally does, you rinse it under running water and your wish comes true. I've got two and they are still holding strong. They're looking a little worse for wear but they're not coming off until those wishes have become my reality!
5) Walk the pasarela and watch the sunset in Barra. This neighbouring town has a beautiful little lighthouse and stunning views across the Atlantic. We spent one of our evenings watching the sun set over the top of the cliff and joined the crowds in cheering when it finally sunk into the ocean. This is a lovely Brazilian tradition that you'll see throughout the country and it's worth partaking in at least once.
6) Get your 'nails did' in a local salon. Ok, so this is clearly a recommendation for my fellow beauty backpackers. But, if like me, you never have time for any beauty prep ahead of your holiday, consider doing things locally instead. I had both a manicure and pedicure done in the local salon and had an absolute blast trying to select colours and describe what I wanted in Portuguese. It's a great way to get stuck into the local culture.
7) Watch a capoeira performance, or take a class. This beautiful martial art / dance hails from this corner of Brazil and there's no better place in the world to watch or join in. It has a fascinating history, as capoeira evolved in the Quilimbos (communities of escaped slaves) as not just a form of expression but also defence against slaveowners and potential capturers. The dance has pervaded and evolved throughout history and we were lucky enough to encounter quite a few dancers on the streets. But you can also take a course with some of the expert trainers and learn some basic moves.
So there you have it. Seven reasons why you too could fall in love with Salvador, Brazil. Of course you'll find many more recommendations in the guidebooks, but these were the standouts of our Bahian adventure I urge you not to miss.

I am seeing cubic buttloads of annoyances related to the necessarily loose definitions surrounding "excessive crosstrading".
Instead of creating crippling rules that hamper players, I instead propose some more prudent and reasonable systems regarding crosstrading and play.
Goal: to prevent players from exclusively using Lyrania accounts as a crosstrading hub.
Suggestion: Implement 3 solutions to curtail undesirable behavior without hurting innocent players in the process.
Solution 1) Accounts under 72 hours old may not crosstrade. New accounts wired a large sum of money will be eyed with heavy scrutiny. It may be a friend having another friend join and wiring some starting funds; but it may be trading. To prevent this, money wired to new players is applied instead to their stash.
Solution 2) Accounts under level 100 may not crosstrade. Same rules as above, wired money is stashed 100%
Solution 3) Accounts past that point will see 75% of all wired money with the last 25% applied to their stash. Why this? to ensure that at least a portion of the money must be put toward Lyrania (thus enforcing the rule).

Or how about just having a minimum IQ requirement for people signing up so that they understand that crosstrading 100k+ plat on a 3 day old level 600ish account is beyond reasonable and in the category excessive?

One of the most oft-repeated complaints from Intel's haters is that the company has allowed its mainstream Core lineup to top out at four cores since its inception. That means, depending on how you count it, we've had eight or nine generations of quad-core CPUs as the pick of the litter. We heard this past November that Intel would be bringing six-core CPUs to the desktop platform, and about a month ago a Geekbench result for a six-core Coffee Lake CPU popped up. Today eTeknix seems to have another bit of news corroborating the idea: a chart of unknown origin listing lots of specifications for what are purportedly a trio of Coffee Lake CPUs. Grab the salt-shaker and let's dive in.
Image: eTeknix
For the most part, the table looks legitimate. It even uses Intel's favorite font, Clear Sans. The three processors described are all six-core models with 12MB of L3 cache, so we can reasonably expect that all three would be branded as Core i7s. The main memory interface is still dual-channel DDR4 at 2400 MT/s. Two of the described CPUs have a 95W TDP rating, while the third is spec'd for 65W. Notably, the two 95W chips are unlocked for overclocking.
The fastest of the chips purportedly has a base clock speed of 3.7 GHz, and it's supposed to turbo to 4.3 GHz on a single core. The other 95W CPU has a much lower base clock rate of 3.2 GHz and maximum turbo speed of 3.6 GHz, but otherwise it appears to be identical. The 65W processor once again has a lower base clock rate of 3.1 GHz, but it turbos nearly as high as its top-end cousin, to 4.2 GHz on a single core. Curiously, this list of specifications doesn't include a listing for Hyper-Threading, but it does note that all three CPUs will come with the usual GT2 graphics.
Coffee Lake is the fourth architecture on Intel's 14nm process. Despite that, Intel claims Coffee Lake CPUs could offer as much as a 30% increase in performance in the same power envelope. That claim comes from a comparison between a two-core, four-thread Kaby Lake part versus a four-core, eight-thread Coffee Lake chip, both 15W parts. Moving from four cores and eight threads to six cores and 12 threads on the desktop seems unlikely to produce similar gains. Still, Intel's continuing process optimizations seem to be bearing fruit. eTeknix says Coffee Lake six-core chips will arrive "late this year," so it seems we may have some time yet before we'll know for certain.

Rest In Beauty: an Interview with Swide Magazine
Originally published on Swide by Jonathan Bazzi.
An interview with creator of All the Saints You Should Know, a fascinating photographic project on the body-relics of Italian saints.
In Christianity, the body takes on a incredibly powerful value, the idea of ncarnation makes Christian culture particularly sensitive to the body as the site of representation of the sacred, of asceticism and spiritual transformation. The long tradition of saints and martyrs in particular frames this centrality of the body as a means of contact with the Divine. With martyrs, fasts, mystical ecstasy, and sacrifice of one's own life the Christian God marks the flesh and penetrates the physical dimension of the person by forming a set of signs and symbols that make Christianity one of the most visually and aesthetically powerful religions, even to the profane eye. The photographic work of Elizabeth Harper is situated in this evocative dimension, and consists of a photo blog that gathers together beautiful pictures of the seemingly uncorrupted bodies of several Italian saints, especially focusing on those stored in the churches of Rome. We chatted with her on the themes of her work, her artistic and literary influences and the meaning of the body in religion and art.
Let's begin from the story of your project, the blog All the Saints You Should Know: when and how did you started? And what about your future, do you have any plans or dreams?
I began this project because I love art but going to art museums while I was traveling was unsatisfying. Too many collections felt like they could be moved from one white room into any other white room. That felt like the antithesis of travel so I started looking for places I could see art in situ—anywhere that mixed history and art. What I was really searching for was the old way of displaying art—in a kunstkammer or wunderkamer—someplace where art can be grouped with all the other types of wonder and beauty in the world without much thought about the boundaries between subjects or even accepted definitions of art or beauty. That type of collection is almost a type of theatre (maybe the most local and ephemeral art) because the collector's point of view and personal story is on display in the collection and it's unapologetically a kind of narrative about a very particular time and place. That is actually what I found in churches. There, art is juxtaposed with all of these other items: human bones, wax saints, icons, even taxidermy and scientific devices. Together, they're all telling the fascinating story of the Church: the individual parish and the greater Catholic Church as a whole. But there often isn't much information available and a lot of people either didn't know these places exist or they're confused or a little intimidated by coming into a church. I realized that since I had grown up Catholic and I had these interests, I had enough information to start teasing out the hidden stories of these objects and places. That's really all I want to do—excavate stories and history from these collections and allow others to appreciate them through writing, lectures and photographs.
Who inspires you? Did you have any models, teachers or examples that helped you defining the direction of your work?
I'm continually inspired by the Romantic writers who came to Italy: Goethe, Chateaubriand, Stendhal, Byron and the Shelleys. I love reading their diaries and letters because they were foreigners here like me and I think they came to Italy to access the sublime. On one hand here you have the pinnacle of human achievement and beauty: the Renaissance masters, the Baroque architects. But there is also the persistent memento mori—the ruins of the Roman empire, seeing the old pinnacle of human achievement in decay. You see this in the very architecture of the churches too. The upstairs is triumphant—aesthetic perfection, and the downstairs is decay—the decay of bodies in the crypt, the decay of pagan temples demolished and built over, the disorder of history collapsed in on itself in the scavi. This kind of sublimity is hard to access in the US because we have the tendency to want only beauty and no horror.
Your parents are Italian: what's your relationship with Italy? Do you have any favourite places in our country?
My mother is Italian, her family is Sicilian. But my favorite place is Rome. It's just so much of everything there. I think of Rome as a kind of memory theatre—a cabinet of miniatures that could possibly reveal all the knowledge in the world if someone were able seek it and put it together. I think about that often when I'm walking through the city. Sometimes I'll step on a cobblestone or stone in a floor and feel it shift, it makes a hollow sound. I'm reminded that there's always more that's hiding underneath. So I dig deeper and try to see every little detail that leads to another story. I ask to have the doors unlocked… I try to put it all together and see what it can tell me about life today. My favorite place in Rome, that isn't a church, is the Mario Praz house. If I could move in I would. I've drawn on so much of his work and his house embodies everything I love intellectually and aesthetically about Italy.
Your work is related with religion, church and saints. What kind of role does spirituality play in your life? Did you have any spiritual or mystical experience?
When I began writing about these things, I made a conscious decision not to address my spirituality in my writing. I prefer to keep it private, largely because I don't want people to get hung up on if they agree with me about religion or not. I want the stories behind these objects to be enjoyable for everyone with any kind of interest in the Church— whether they're a nun or a secular academic. That being said, I'll tell you that in my travels, I've often found myself deeply moved, sometimes to the point of lightheadedness or tears, but I'll leave it open to interpretation whether that's mystic ecstasy or Stendhal Syndrome.
The human body seems to be very important in your project: what's your vision of the body in art and visual culture? Did you study anatomy or drawing?
It is and part of that is inextricable from the Catholic Church. It's fundamentally a corporeal religion but it's paradoxical: the Word is made flesh but the flesh also harbors sin. I think that aspect is particularly accessible to women who still deal with the male gaze and are used to having judgments leveled at their bodies and how they present them. That's one of the reasons that I'm particularly interested in female mystics from the Middle Ages. At first glance, they seem otherworldly but when I looked a little deeper I saw pieces of myself and seeds of my own insecurity and shame in these women. They're at once so deeply human yet supernatural and their bodies are testament to that—from the scars of compulsive mortification of the flesh in their living bodies to the perfection of their incorrupt corpses in death. I find their struggles and solaces endlessly relatable. It's funny you should mention drawing. I took four years of figure drawing classes in art school and really enjoyed it but I never connected it to this particular obsession of mine.
Do you have a favourite saint?
I love St. Catherine of Siena. She's well known for her mysticism but her writing also reveals a smart and opinionated young woman with a sarcastic streak. She also battled with herself for absolute control and perfection of her body. Her life and relics along with the places they rest in Rome and Siena are perfect examples of the type of history and humanity I hope to uncover by looking around in churches.

Ever since the pressure came off of me to make videos every day, it seems like I'm able to pump out a couple a day with some pretty good content. When you ease up and not try so hard, things just come to you more naturally. When you try to force the square peg in the round hole that's when life is very burdensome.
George Mumford, an adviser to top athletes and coaches including Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, and Phil Jackson, teaches this concept. He told Kobe a little before he scored his 81 point game that the best way to score is to try not to. When you try scoring buckets, you are playing an unnatural game. The opportunities to score come in the game and when you enter a zone. You get more open shots when the ball gets moved around more. Therefore, you have to try to pass not score. When I stopped having to think of a concept for today's video, I just used something that happened in my ordinary day as content.
Stop trying so hard to be rich.
"George helped me understand the art of mindfulness. To be neither distracted or focused, rigid or flexible, passive or aggressive. I learned just to be." — Kobe Bryant, 5-time NBA champion, Los Angeles Lakers
Just be.
Summer is different than winter. Summer 2015 will be different than last year's or next year's. Yet we try to hold onto an old version of ourselves. There are months where I can go 15 hour days in the office on 4 hours of sleep. Then, for a month there is major resistance where it's an absolute grind to put in 8 hours on 8 hours of sleep. Why am I going to fight it? I fought it many times and it didn't do me any good. There is probably a reason why that's happening within me. When I feel like I should be killing it at work, it's time to do just that. When there's resistance…hey, take a break Jaret and go do something else. Take a vacation. Chill by the beach. Sit at Starbucks and stare into space for a few hours. Listen to your body and what energy or lack of energy is moving through you instead of trying to identify yourself as just 'this person'.
I'm reading this book the 4 Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss. I'm sure you've heard of it before. It's a brilliant concept in the fact that we've been pigeon-holed to work a 9-5 job. Does a lot of work get done in a corporate structure like that? Absolutely. However, you also waste more time than you can imagine. If you have weeks to complete a deadline, it won't come out that much better than if you were given 24 hours.
Now I'm not suggesting for you to work a 4 hour workweek, however, what I am suggesting is for you to be more mindful of what you can eliminate in your life. Where can you trim the fat? Bruce Lee put it best when he said that life is not about accumulating, it's about eliminating. Think of a child. It's innocent and hasn't been burdened with the world's problems and evil. All of the bad habits and false associations you've made, you have to unlearn those so you can just be.
I want you to focus on results. If you can get better results working 1 hour per day as opposed to 8, then what are you doing? I'd sign up for that in a second. What confines us is a level of comfort. We are used to doing the same old, same old, every day. This is a form of laziness that prevents us from using our mind to detach from what we are currently doing to get better results. You have to use some brainpower to find out where you are ineffective in your routine.
You must analyze your life and understand that 80% of the results are coming from 20% of your time and your effort. So 80% of what you are slaving away doing is not contributing to your happiness. Don't be a slave to habit. Focus on being.

Roma Caput Mundi, they said a long time ago, but nowadays everyone still loves this city! The problem is that it has sooo many things to see, and usually there's not enough time. In fact, last time I was there I had just two entire days and a morning, but I solved the problems with 3 walking Tours around the city, that I am going to describe for those who needs some inspiration. My choice was to avoid any place that needed an entrance, because of the short time, since I already visited a lot in previous trips, and because it was a perfect spring weekend, and I wanted to feel the city walking around.
First day
The first day, after a night train (awful!) I had a rich breakfast and had a little rest, so I was ready to go out at lunchtime. After a wonderful pizza, I made it to the city center. My itinerary started at the Barberini metro station, where you start to delight your eyes with the Fontana del Tritone by Bernini. Then, I walked first to Quattro fontane, that are basically four fountains in the four corners of a crossing – something uncommon! From there, I walked towards the Quirinale, passing by Quirinale gardens, and arriving in front of the building, I reached easily Fontana di Trevi. A quick tip, try to go there very early or very late if you want to find a spot where to throw the coin and make your wish! And remember to seat with the fountain behind or it doesn't work. Once fed up with the crowd there, I went on towards Campidoglio, then Palazzo Chigi, from wich you can see the Altare della Patria at the end of the street, and to the Pantheon. I went inside it because, they said, there will be an entrance fee soon, so I had to take advantage of the occasion! and also because that is one of my favourite spots in Rome, together with Piazza Navona, that I love much more by night. Passing by, I saw also Palazzo Madama, headquarter of the Senate, and visited San Luigi dei francesi's Church, where it is possible to admire famous paintings of Caravaggio. After that, I had a coffee with some friends in Piazza di Pietra, a really charming and quite one, and then my friends led me to Campo dei Fiori and Piazza Farnese, before having an aperitivo in the Jewish Quarter (the old ghetto). Some tips: the legend says the best coffee in Rome is in Sant'Eustachio Café, and in the Jewish Quarter you can try some typical dishes of the Jewish community in Rome, like the "Carciofo alla Giudia" that is an artichoke they fry in some special way.
Second day
The second day, I started my walking tour in Piazza di Spagna, where I climbed up the steps of Trinità de Monti until Villa Medici, then I relaxed a bit in the gardens of Villa Borghese and later I reached Piazza del Popolo descending at Pincio. From there, I took Via del Corso, where I had lunch with a great pasta Amatriciana (have you ever tried it? If not, what are you waiting for?). After passing by the Mausoleo Augusto, that was renewing, and the Ara Pacis, I crossed the Tevere heading to the Court of Law Palace, Castel Sant'Angelo and finally, Vatican City. It was very hot then, so I rested in the shadow of the Bernini colonnade. Tips: if you don't need to see the Pope, try not to go during the celebrations, because you can't move anywhere. Anyway, you have to make it through a kilometers of queue in order to visit anywhere there, but I still remember the Sistina Chapel, that I visited 15 years ago, so there's no need to say Vatican Museums deserve a visit. After resting, I really wanted to climb up to the Gianicolo, but I wasn't alone and my mate was a non-walking-lover one, so we just wondered aroung Trastevere, eating Maritozzi (sweet bread filled with whipped cream). After that, we went back to the city center for another aperitivo, crossing the river through the Tiberina Island, near the Synagogue.
Third day
The third day was actually just a morning, but we needed to see the very ancient part of the city! So, starting from Circo Massimo, we admired Constantin Arch, the historical Area of Tito Arch and Palatino, and of Course HIM, the Colosseum. In the nearbies, one can admire also the Traiano column, that italian children like me back at school studied so many times! This historical area is a treasure, so I suggest to visit it once in life with a guide that can explain you a lot about ancient times. When tired of Augusto, Cesare and the Domus Area, you can relax in Traiano Park. After a quick visit to San Giovanni Laterano, Santa Maria Maggiore – that is a big contrast, after all that roman history – and Piazza della Repubblica, my trip ended in Termini Station, and it's a pity I had no time for the Terme di Diocleziano that are just in front of it.
So, I will definitely come back again, and book also a tour of the Catacombs! Anyway, this walking itineraries were a good tool in order to enjoy the most of the city in spring. I hope they could help other fast-travellers.
Finally, as we said in Italy, "tutte le strade portano a Roma"*, so, see you soon Capital.
*All the streets lead to Rome.

With an extensive playing and coaching record behind him, Russell Earnshaw is a valuable source of coaching knowledge, particularly when it comes to innovation and transferring elite level learnings to grassroots initiatives. He's experienced some of the peaks of rugby both on and off the field, winning the European Champions Cup in 1997-98 with Bath as a player before being part of the England Rugby Sevens coaching staff from 2007-2013. Most recently, Russell has been working with the England U18 Boys' XVs Program with longtime coaching partner, Head Coach John Fletcher.
Russell, along with Fletcher, has also established The Magic Academy, a coaching consultation platform behind an innovative new coaching tool - Challenge Cards. Already being used by clubs and schools across the UK, these same principles are even being picked up by national programs as a way to change the mindsets of both coaches and players and how they approach development in rugby.
Get a peek inside the mind of Russell via this article published in the Telegraph.
Follow Russel on Twitter
Henry Paul is a former international star of both Rugby League and Rugby Union, having represented New Zealand and England at the top flights in both codes. Henry made the switch to coaching in 2010 when he first linked up with current Canadian Men's XV Head Coach, Kingsley Jones. Both were involved in coaching the Russian Men's XVs and took the side to the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Not one to overlook the importance of grassroots rugby development, Henry has also worked with Age-Grade athletes at the links of Queen Etherburga's School in York before relocating to Dubai.
Most recently, Henry has been reunited with Kingsley Jones, working as Defence Coach for Rugby Canada as of February this year. With such a wealth of rugby knowledge, from the perspectives of both player and coach, Henry is an invaluable asset to this year's BC Rugby Conference.
Damian's name has become synonymous with Rugby Sevens in the last 15 years. His work with international teams like England and Samoa cemented his credentials on the world stage before being appointed as Head Coach of the Canadian Men's Sevens team in 2016. Few can have missed the highlight of 2017 when he steered the team to victory at the Singapore Sevens, but there is more to this man than meets the eye. Damian is an Education graduate who has lectured extensively in the UK and internationally on skill development and coach education. He is also the author of three books on rugby skills coaching. This will undoubtedly be a fantastic opportunity to learn from one of Canada's best coaching talents, one not to be missed.

Readers credit her articles for calling attention to dogs in need and helping to save lives.
"WatchDog Mary" is an investigative journalist with more than 20 years experience.
Mary Schwager, aka "Watchdog Mary," has won more than two dozen local, regional, national and international journalism awards for investigative, consumer, feature reporting and writing, including 16 Emmy Awards and seven Edward R. Murrow Awards and numerous Associated Press honors.
Mary has worked as a television reporter, investigative reporter and investigative producer at network affiliated stations across the country in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Indianapolis, Indiana and Boston, Massachusetts.
Working in television she's gotten high profile interviews, gone undercover with hidden cameras and done round the clock live shots during breaking news events, including reporting thousands of feet above the ground in a chopper. (While hovering over giant, flaming explosions.)
She has chased after infamous criminals like Christopher Scarver, the man who killed serial killer Jeffery Dahmer in prison.
Recently Mary attempted to interview William "Rick" Singer, the mastermind behind the nationwide college admissions bribery scandal. She asked him why he gamed the system.
Her "Consumer Watchdog Mary" videos aired nationally on "The Daily Buzz" morning show.
As a print journalist Mary's articles have appeared in Galtime.com, Huffington Post, Yahoo and Fox Business News.
Now Watchdog Mary is using her talents to report about animals. She writes for the popular online magazines The Dodo, Grit Daily and Just Labs.
She was also the Facebook Live roving reporter (some might even say the "rover reporter") for I Love My Dog and its 5.5 million fans.
Some of her articles have resulted in changes being implemented in municipal shelters and animals' lives being saved.
Her article about hunting dogs being "freeze branded" and dumped appeared in Yahoo.
Watchdog Mary's inquires sparked web giant Amazon.com to remove a sales category it called "animal breeders" from its website.
She was one of the first journalists to write about a change in federal tax rules which made fostering an animal for a nonprofit rescue tax deductible. And even with the new additions to federal tax laws, fostering is still deductible.
Watchdog Mary was also a state licensed detective and conducted criminal and insurance fraud investigations after she graduated from Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Marquette Magazine (page 34) featured some of Mary's accomplishments.
Mary always had a love for animals. Growing up she had parakeets, chameleons, fish, dogs and guinea pigs. In college she and her roommate had a cat and a rabbit. The pair actually got along! The cat would paw at the bunny's nose, he took it as a sign of affection and loved it, despite her claws. The two animals, both litter box trained, made for some wonderful moments.
The very first dog Mary adopted was abandoned when the pup was about three-weeks-old. Ever since she has always adopted rescue dog after rescue dog. So has the rest of her family.
In her 20's Mary started volunteering with dog rescue organizations, she still volunteers, and says out of all the things she's ever done rescue is one the toughest and most challenging.
Follow Watchdog Mary on social media: Twitter, Instagram and Facebook
One reader wrote this incredible note to Watchdog Mary: "I would like to extend a heartfelt 'THANK YOU' in appreciation of you, Mary Schwager, for being a true advocate for animals everywhere, whose voice is heard through your tenacious spirit, diplomacy, and passion, which reaches the hearts of those who join you for the sake of all the precious furbabies left behind in shelters. You give us hope and cause to continue to speak for the animals we love." -Elizabeth Barrera

Munruthel are a band from Ukraine that has been featured before in this zine with the musical style on this recording being dark ambient instead of the pagan/black metal that is found on the other releases and this is a review of their 1997 album "Yav, Nav i Prav" which was released by Gardirika Musikk.
Drums when they are utilized are slow slow tribal beats, while the synths bring a very dark, atmospheric, ambient and dungeon sound to the music and they are the main instrument on this recording.
Vocals when they are utilized range very distorted industrial style vocals and some clean singing which enhances the pagan elements of the recording as well as some samples in addition there is a brief use of spoken word parts, while the song themes cover Slavic Paganism and Nature, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it with most of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording and if you are a fan of pagan/ dark ambient, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Father-Sun (Sunrise)" "Fern Flowering (Kupala-Night)" "Destroyed By The Gold Crosses" and "Initiation Of Spring". RECOMMENDED BUY.

- To reduce my body fat by 5 percentage points (to 28%)
- To reduce my BMI to the healthy range by losing 30 pounds (since I've gained a few recently)
- To strengthen my body by increasing my weight training to 3 sessions per week
- To be able to run a 5K in less than 30 minutes
- To build a healthier relationship with food by learning to pay closer attention to my hunger signals
- To recognize the power of food to nourish and energize my body
- To recognize the lack of power food has over my moods and situations
What are my obstacles?
- The habit to eat when I'm bored, stressed, disappointed and angry
- Vacation tendancies to overeat, take a break from exercise and eat out of habit or availability rather than necessity
- Holidays and special occasions where I'm surrounded by food and treats
- Midnight munchies
How can I overcome them or work to improve my response to them?
- Find replacement behaviors for when I'm feeling these trigger emotions (i.e. reading, writing, journaling, exercising, yoga, puzzles, etc.)
- Practice fitting activity into even the most busy daily schedule; make a conscious effort to focus on hunger signals and to avoid mindless eating.
- Treat every day the same way; allow for occassional treats, but focus on nutritional value and satisfaction of foods rather than considering them splurges; remember that I can have anything at anytime and that treats aren't limited to holidays and special occassions, so there's no need to gorge at parties and holiday meals.
- Reinforcers for avoiding midnight munchies; punishment for munching after bedtime; special reinforcement for 3 consecutive days without.
What successes have I seen so far?
I'm in the best physical shape I've been in since high school. When I really consider it, I actually enjoy exercise, not because of the weight I lose or the calories I burn, but because I feel more energetic and relaxed, and I can spend some time on myself. I have already lost more than 30 pounds. I enjoy healthy meals, I've found healthy alternatives for some of the worst cravings, and I can treat myself on occassion without going off the deep end.
What has gotten me here? How have I acheived these successes?
Discipline, practice and perseverence. I have learned new habits. I have pushed through discouragement. I have made myself a priority. I have found foods and exercises that improve my mind and body and are enjoyable at the same time.
Why do I feel incapable?
Because I expect myself to be perfect and I never am. Because I've failed before. Because I struggle with the same issues over and over again. Because I often make gains, only to fall back into old routines or make unhealthy decisions that undo the good I've done.
How do I know that I am capable?
Because I've done it. Because I haven't gained back all the I have lost. Because I'm continuing to live a healthier lifestyle despite my struggles and stumbles. Because I'm strong and I have a plan, and where there's a plan and an effort to accomplish that plan, there's eventually success.

I first saw this beautiful floral embroidered fabric in Paris in January 2016. It was the feature fabric one of our suppliers used to launch their new fabric collection at Paris Deco off. As soon as I got back to Melbourne I ordered some of this fabric and made it into cushions with a contrast plain linen backing. The eau de nil coloured embroidered curtains are restful and soothing and the raspberry adds a dash of colour to this scheme. A room always comes to life when you find just the right flowers to enhance the look and that's what these 2 toned roses did.

About This Cobalt Blue Wall Mirror
Our client wanted a Modern, colorful piece to accompany their Modern, almost Parisian style townhome. Immediately my mind jumped a beautiful round piece, in either a soft pink or vibrant blue.
The round, colorful mirrors of the 1920s and 1930s inspired this design. During that era, jewel-toned, round pieces were a simple and elegant addition to many living and working spaces.
(You can read more about Art Deco colors in our article about colors of the 1920s found here.)
Designers like Ruhlmann used these colorful additions in much of their interior work.
(If you are interested in Art Deco, check out this widewalls article about famous artists from the period.)
Ultimately, For this blue mirror, our client wanted to have a light bounce that would fill her space, so we added a clear, round mirror to the blue piece.
With all these ingredients, this mirror was a the perfect blend of form and function.

Spitfire ace who was one of the last of 'The Few' who fought in the Battle of Britain dies aged 99
He leaves 17 other surviving pilots behind as he died within weeks of his wife of 75 years
ONE of the last Battle of Britain spitfire pilots has passed away aged 99.
Squadron leader Percy Beake was part of 'The Few' who fought for supremacy of the skies ahead of imminent attacks by Hitler in the Second World War.
The Canadian-born Spitfire pilot took part in missions involving dive-bombing rocket sites in northern France and targeting enemy ships in the English Channel.
He also backed advancing allied troops in August 1944 which led the German army's full retreat and the end of the war the following year.
The great-grandfather from Combe Down, Somerset, passed away last month, just a few weeks after his wife of 75 years, Evelyn.
He is survived by only around 17 of 'The Few'.
Mr Beake grew up near Bristol before his service call up at the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939.
He became an instructor in 1944 and flew his own Hawker Tempest aircraft with his initials PH-B on the side, before he was released from the RAF on January 21 1946.
Mr Beake went on to work for Unilever in the milling business where he was based in Avonmouth and London before moving to Exeter.
He spent his retired years with his wife in Ottery St Mary, Devon, before moving to Bath in 2008.
Mr Beake was awarded the Legion D'Honneur for his services - France's highest level military medal - last year.
He leaves behind two daughters, four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
