Q: Danny Dyer speaks plainly about Brexit
If you can view the 45-second clip of Danny Dyer on Good Evening Britain, I recommend it. I'm hoping it might be a turning point, where regular Brits get tired of the Brexit lies and manipulations.
He's a plain-speaking Brit, and he just voiced a valid criticism or Brexit that pierced through the lies.
From the Guardian:
Danny Dyer became an unlikely remainer icon on Thursday night when he launched into a diatribe calling David Cameron a "twat" and demanded to know why the former prime minister was able to relax in France "with his trotters up" while the rest of Britain dealt with the consequences of Brexit.
Speaking in front of Jeremy Corbyn and Pamela Anderson, the EastEnders actor criticised Cameron for resigning after the Brexit vote and poured scorn on the apparent hypocrisy of him holidaying in Europe. "So what's happened to that twat David Cameron who called it on?" Dyer asked the panel on Good Evening Britain.
Co-host Piers Morgan reproached the on-screen hard man and said "I think you're referring to our former prime minister," but that only served to spur Dyer on. "How comes he can scuttle off?" Dyer demanded to know. "He called all this on. Where is he? He's in Europe, in Nice, with his trotters up, yeah, where is the geezer? I think he should be held account for it."
As the conversation moved on, Dyer called Cameron "twat" once more for good measure. Advertisement Videos of Dyer's pithy analysis were shared widely on social media, with a number of tweets of his performance being retweeted thousands of times.
The BBC presenter Jeremy Vine suggested that "the second TWAT from Danny Dyer is everything", while the Guardian's Aditya Chakrabortty said that "in all my life, I have never felt so close to Danny Dyer".
It was unknown whether Cameron was indeed in Nice on Thursday evening. He famously spent £25,000 on a shepherd's hut for his garden so that he could write his memoirs in serenity and tranquility. However, he has reportedly been suffering from writer's block and its publication has been delayed until next year.

The former Conservative party leader has been spotted meeting politicians and journalists around Westminster recently, fuelling speculation he may be angling for a return to politics.
Dyer also provided ITV viewers, shortly after England's final World Cup group game with Belgium, with a refreshingly lucid analysis of the Brexit negotiations.
"No one's got a clue what Brexit is," he declared. "You watch Question Time, it's a comedy."
When asked by co-presenter Susanna Reid if Corbyn's explanation of the era-defining political issue had made him any the wiser, Dyer said: "No, I haven't got a clue. No one knows what it is; it's like this mad riddle that no one knows what it is, right."
The moment was the popular highlight of Good Evening Britain, a spin-off of Morgan and Reid's morning show, Good Morning Britain. The programme as a whole was less well-received, with one critic complaining: "Not content with serving up Morgan for breakfast, ITV are now force-feeding him to us for supper too."
We voted to exit the EU. That is democracy. Just because you don't like the result, that doesn't mean it is wrong. I thought the SNP had a monopoly on wanting democracy when it suits them. Then we had this vote and it seems everyone who wanted to remain has suddenly forgotten how democracy works. You can't change the result just because you don't like it. Stop bitching and moaning and accusing this person or that of lying about Brexit and throw your weight behind our country for a stronger tomorrow.
Disregard the word Advertisement up there. Where it says "Advertisement Videos were shared...". It was actually an advertisement that got included in the text copy-paste, the videos are not adverts.
If I try to edit questions, it's always a formatting disaster. So I won't try.
If I remember "Nice" was a victim of a truck attack on Bastille Day or some holiday last year, interesting choice for tranquility to write a book.

The referendum is basically a form of contractual trickery against the people. These creeps got a slim majority of people to sign the "contract", now it is claimed the referendum result has signed away the people's right to a further say in the matter.
And regular people are starting to catch on!

You are fucking deluded from your last comment. Stop bitching about it and get on with your life.
Another one of those conspiracy morons.
At the dawn of man, a clan of hunters in the Serengeti was following their leader on a hunting trail. They walked towards some bushes. Suddenly, the leader cried: "There's a lion in the bushes!"
All the clansmen scuttled behind the brave leader, as they all backed away from the bushes. All of them save one.
"Hang on a minute." said the last clansman. " You always say there's a lion near these particular bushes. And you always walk to these bushes every night. I think I know where our missing food has gone."
All the other clansmen were confused, unable to understand the connections their peculiar clansman drew from these bushes. They waited for guidance from their leader.
The clansmen asked: "Leader, are our clansman's strange ramblings a sign from the spirits? Can he guide us to our lost food?"
The leader was a shaman as well, he could interpret messages from the spirits for his clansmen. "No", he said, "this clansman has been possessed by an evil spirit. We must kill him to drive out the spirit!!"
The free-thinking, open-minded, progressive clansman was put to death, and the clan never found out where their missing food went. But none of the conservative clansmen ever fell out of favour with the spirits.
Nevertheless, every generation, new progressive clansmen were born, slowly changing their clan bit by bit, whenever the domesticated, conservative clansmen were not yet ordered to kill the progressives.
May should step aside.
Corbyn should have went as soon as the ref result was announced. He lost. Or did he win? We dont know. Is he for or against... we don't know. I dont know. Corbyn is fucking the whole thing up.
Did he fight that I am allowed a vote? Nope. I passed the 15 year rule... no vote.
It's a total fuck up. Only the SNP stands united against brexit. And only the scottish conservatives are united pro brexit. Both of them.

Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
A brief jail stint for Atlanta rap icon T.I. fortunately turned out better than expected after he was arrested on three charges including on Wednesday morning (May 16).
Tip even made it home to his family just in time to celebrate his son Major's 10th birthday, putting the entire incident behind him. The arresting police officers over at Henry County Jail still have some explaining to do, though, now that a video of his arrest at the facility has surfaced. Previous reports held that the Grand Hustle Records leader was being detained on charges of simple assault, public drunkenness and disorderly conduct for arguing with a security guard who refused to let him onto his home's premises when Tip had forgotten his key.
He later permitted him onto the property, sources reported, but Tip returned to the guard and police were called. For some reason, these officers refused to inform Tip of such upon his arrest, and as his American citizen rights allow, he didn't let up on the officers until they did.
You can also hear the officer responding that he was "acting like a fool," which by the way isn't listed as an arrestable offense anywhere in Georgia state law. Tip asks how, considering that he was only asking the security guard a question.
More back-and-forth between Tip and the officer ensues, but he still refuses to inform T.I. of the reason he's being arrested. Instead, he insists that the Us or Else rapper is only looking for an argument, also adding that he should never have come back to the security shack after the guard let him onto his residency.
"I shouldn't have came back?" Tip asks with disbelief. "That's my right as a taxpaying citizen. Why did that constitute for me being arrested?"
He makes a solid point, but it unfortunately doesn't prompt Tip's rightfully deserved answer concerning the reason behind his arrest. The officer's snarky reply is definitely one that should be considered in the court of law, though.
"You'll answer it in court?" T.I. asks after the officer makes the statement. "Oh, you'll be answering to a lawyer at that point."
That he will, Tip.
Watch the full exchange above.

Q: I rented a single-family home two months ago, only to learn today that the owner is losing it to foreclosure; the sale is scheduled for next month. Obviously, he knew about the default when he rented us the house, but said nothing. Do we have any recourse? –Tom T.
A: You're not the only tenant who learned after signing a lease or even moving into a month-to-month arrangement that the property is about to be lost at foreclosure. That news brings several risks.

Cytora is an artificial intelligence company building a new way for commercial insurers to target, select and price risk. With the Cytora Risk Engine, insurers can grow premiums measurably and reduce loss ratios while delivering more accurate prices to customers.
Cytora was incubated in the University of Cambridge's Judge Business School Accelerate Programme and was initially supported by Cambridge Enterprise, the University's commercialisation arm. The Cytora team has taken natural language processing techniques and machine learning technology developed at the University of Cambridge and applied them to commercially relevant applications for the insurance industry.
The company is deploying its Risk Engine internationally across property and casualty lines with a core group of insurers. Cytora's Risk Engine transforms the way insurers select target and price risk by applying AI to identify patters of good and bad risks over time. These insights enable insurers to achieve improved loss ratios and premium growth while delivering more accurate and fair prices to customers.
It is backed by a syndicate of investors, including insurance companies Starr and QBE, who are also early adopters of the Cytora technology.

Al Barsha
Koshari at Al Amoor Express
If you're yet to come across Koshari, it's an Egyptian rice, macaroni and lentils dish, all jumbled up together. This delightful veggie and carb mix is then topped with a spicy tomato sauce and garlic vinegar, and is garnished with chickpeas and crispy fried onions. A sprinkling of garlic juice or garlic vinegar and hot sauce are optional. It's glorious, and you need it in your life.
From Dhs17. Open daily 24 hours. Al Barsha (04 347 0787).
Kunafa at Feras Aldiyafa Sweets
This famous Middle Eastern dessert is a cheese pastry soaked in sweet syrup – so, we're sold. The salty, stretchy cheese makes it one of best sweet-savoury dishes around. It comes in a few styles, with varying crust and a variety of dough. The one you'll find here features a sweet base, with a stretchy layer of cheese, drizzled with loads of sugar syrup, and we wholeheartedly approve.
Dhs22. Open daily 8am-1am. Al Barsha (04 341 3123).
Mac 'n' cheese melt at Melt Room
This is an absolute delight. It combines the best of our favourite two carbs – bread and pasta, obviously – and sees them grilled together with a bunch of cheese wedged in the middle. The top is coated in butter, and it's put in a hot press for a few minutes to really crispen it up. This is a once-a-week treat, kids.
Dhs32. Sat noon-9pm. Ripe Market, Al Barsha Pond Park (04 315 7000).
Toshka at Hannouf
This traditionally Syrian dish is an almost wafer-thin slice of bread stuffed with sujuk and kashkaval (or in this case, mozzarella) cheese. It's then grilled and flattened to give you a properly flavoursome treat to enjoy at almost literally any time of the day.
From Dhs15. Open Sat-Wed noon-4am; Thu-Fri 11.30am-4.30am. Al Barsha (04 420 4229).
Bur Dubai & Deira
Anday Walla Burger at Billo
Imagine this, and tell us you're not desperate to try it right now. A bunch of yellow lentils, all blended up with herbs, spices and egg to make a patty, which is then fried and served up with fresh onions, chillies and mint yoghurt in a toasted bun. Go get one for lunch or din dins. Oh, and it costs less than Dhs10.
Dhs8. Open Sat-Wed noon-12.30am; Thu-Fri noon-1.30am. Oud Metha (055 941 3658).
Chicken tikka at Ravi Restaurant
Ah Ravi, we love this place, and its chicken tikka is the one. The meat is full of flavour – especially for a dish that can, in other establishments, sometimes run a little flat. While the tikka is a star, you should also get your hands on the daal fry, because it's not always about what you can find on the grill.
Dhs8. Open daily 5am-3am. Near Satwa Roundabout (04 331 5353).
Chilli cheese vada pav at Chaat Bazaar
It's got all the words we're looking for in a dish considered to be a signature at this Karama classic. Vada pav is sort of like a bao, which is sort of like a little bun, only this one is stuffed with grated amul cheese that has been infused with spicy potato masala, battered and deep-fried. We hope you're paying attention, because it's then coated with a sweet tamarind chutney, spicy green chutney, garlic sauce and garlic chutney, served with salted fried chillies. You need this.
Dhs10. Open daily 8am-11pm. Karama (04 396 8810).
Dahi vada at Chaat Station Cafeteria
Another entry on the vada list and another one to check out while you're at Meena Bazaar. This one is something a bit different, though. The vada (fried flour balls) are actually made from soaked lentils. After deep-frying the batter, it's then soaked in fresh yoghurt and coated in an array of herbs, spices and more. It's a savoury treat, and one that dates back as far as the 12th century.
Dhs7. Open daily 10.30am-11pm. Meena Bazaar, Bur Dubai (04 550 9183).
Samosas at Al Abra Cafeteria
This unassuming café is the perfect place to put your feet up if you've been stomping your way around all the old souks (which you definitely need to visit, by the way). Grab a samosa or some deep-fried chillies for less than pocket change, and be sure to rehydrate properly on the warmer days. You can do that by grabbing one of the electrolyte-packed coconuts served fresh, for less than Dhs10.
Dhs2. Opposite Al Sabkha Water Taxi Station, Deira (no number).
Samosas at Satwa Palace
One of the all-time kings of street food, samosas are hard to beat, especially when these deep-fried, flavoursome little treats roll in at just one dirham each (subject to change since VAT, of course). Crispy, crunchy, but soft and reserving a taste explosion on the inside, embrace the greasy fingers you'll be left with afterwards, chuck the cashier a tenner through the window and walk off with a bag of these beauties.
Dhs1. Open daily 5am-2am. Satwa Road, Satwa (04 342 2070).
Shawarma at Al Mallah
It's our cover star, and for good reason. The shawarma at Al Mallah is borderline legendary, and as well as top-quality shawarmas you can also get a range of freshly grilled meats stuffed into a sarnie to take away. We also love the cheese manakish.
From Dhs11. Open Sat-Thu 6am-2.30am; Fri 6am-noon, 1.30pm-2.30am. 2nd December Street, Satwa (04 398 4962).
Downtown Dubai & Sheikh Zayed Road
Costilla taco at Maiz Tacos Food Truck
The food truck in Downtown Dubai near the Burj Khalifa serves up this beefy treat. Among the many tacos available, the costilla is filled with eight-hour slow-roasted and smoked short rib. It's then served with jitomates (tomato) salsa, pickled radish, red onion and coriander. Other Maiz trucks can be found around Dubai, including at Kite Beach.
Dhs40. Open Sat-Wed noon-9pm; Thu-Fri noon-10pm. Maiz Tacos Food Truck, Downtown Dubai (050 151 7665).
Egg and cheese feteer at Zaroob
A layered Levantine bread (kind of like a thick, puffy paratha) is worked like pizza dough by a pastry chef, filled with egg and Kraft soft cheese then baked in the oven until golden and pillowy. And it's yum.
Dhs27 plus VAT. Open daily 24 hours. Sheikh Zayed Road (800 927 662).
Okonomiyaki at Bentoya
Literally translating to "grilled as you like it", this Japanese savoury pancake can comes with a whole bunch of different flavours. A traditional okonomiyaki, as you'll find here, is the seafood pancake mixed with an arrangement of vegetables and lightly drizzled in a spicy sauce.
Dhs42. Open Sat-Wed 11.30am-11.30pm; Thu-Fri 11.30am-midnight. Al Kawakeb Building, Sheikh Zayed Road (04 343 0222).
Dubai Marina, JLT & JBR
Jamaican Mosa at My Mosa
This is a contemporary twist on the classic samosa. My Mosa dishes up brilliant variations from its JBR location and accompanying food truck you'll find at various events. One of its top sellers are these proper hot, hot Jamaican beef samosas. Sort of like the traditional Jamaican patty, only in Indian form, these come with lashings of "Passion" hot sauce. We're intrigued, slightly fearful, but definitely excited.
Dhs30. The Beach, opposite JBR (056 408 8688).
Labneh and vegetable kaak at Kaek Kaeeek
This Lebanese spot in JLT (yes, with three es) is a real delight and provides a growing community neighbourhood with more street food options, and we couldn't be happier with that. This labneh and vegetable bread treat is gloriously light yet indulgent, and needs to be on your foods to try list.
From Dhs15. Open Sat-Wed 8am-11pm; Thu-Fri 8am-midnight. Cluster B, JLT (04 553 0395).
Mexican Shawarma at Shami Gourmet
Another shawarma on the list, and Shami's in Dubai Marina serves up one of the best this side of the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah. If you're after a twist on the usual, you can get the Mexican shawarma, chicken shawarma pieces cut up with onion, mixed peppers, cheese and chilli, and it's simply outstanding. At Dhs33, this one is a little pricier than the regular shawarma wrap (from Dhs12 for a small and Dhs23 for a regular), but it's well worth the extra dirhams.
Dhs33. Open Sat-Wed 10am-2am; Thu-Fri 10am-4am. Torch Tower, Dubai Marina (04 552 1402).
Chebab at Logma
The chebab is a traditional Emirati dish that sort of looks like a pancake, but comes served with cream cheese and topped with a generous drizzle of date syrup or honey. The warm cheese dish combines cardamom, saffron and dates. Logma at BoxPark has various traditional Emirati dishes with a slight twist, and you're bound to love them.
Dhs25. Open Sat-Wed 8am-midnight; Thu-Fri 8am-1am. BoxPark, Al Wasl Road (800 56462).
Cheese manakish at Al Reef Lebanese Bakery
Serving up quite possibly the best manakish in the city is this charming little gem of a spot. You've not truly lived in Dubai until you've savaged your way through an akawi cheese manakish. Frankly, it's the only food you need in the morning, and if our conscience would let us tear our way through this cheese and carb feast every day, we would.
From Dhs8. Open daily 24 hours. Al Wasl Road, Jumeirah (04 394 5200).
Chips Oman paratha at HumYum
Grew up in Dubai? Eat chips/crisps/whatever you call them? If you're a Dubai kid, you've probably got used to seeing Chips Oman on pretty much every supermarket shelf. Crush them up, roll them up in a paratha or chapati, chuck in some mayo and chilli sauce and you've got yourself a crispy stuffed sandwich. Over the years, various mash-ups have evolved and you'll definitely find some top options at HumYum in Umm Suqeim.
Open daily 6.30am-3am. Jumeirah Beach Road, Umm Suqeim (04 388 3332).
Churrasquinho at Taste of Brazil food truck
This is a traditional pulled beef and cheese sandwich from Brazil. And it's mighty. Seasoned and spiced pulled beef comes topped with gooey, molten mozzarella cheese, served with a splash of house vinaigrette and black olive mayonnaise sauce. What's not to love? You had us at "pulled beef"…
Dhs35 plus VAT. Open Sun-Wed 8am-10pm; Thu-Sat 8am-midnight. Kite Beach, Umm Suqeim (050 357 0007).
Halloumi wrap at Paratha'Ta
Because few things are better than salty, squeaky, perfectly grilled halloumi cheese. This food truck at the ever-popular Kite Beach serves up the traditional Indian and Pakistani flatbread with global flavours stuffed inside. From the aforementioned halloumi, tomato and thyme wrap, to mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes and rocket, and even a Nutella and banana concoction.
Dhs24. Open Sun-Wed 8am-10pm; Thu-Sat 8am-midnight. Kite Beach, Umm Suqeim (050 357 0007).
Hassan mathar at Al Ijaza Cafeteria
This cafeteria is one of the main stopping points on Jumeirah Beach Road, and you'll always spot a queue of hungry drivers waiting for a takeaway order here. Somewhere between a traditional meat-filled roll and a grilled cheese sandwich, the hassan mather is a crunchy bread wrapped around a filling of slow-cooked chicken, pickled vegetables, hummus, fries and cheese. Wow. This little bite is worth every dirham.
Dhs7. Open Sat-Thu 9am-3am; Fri 11am-3am. Jumeirah Beach Road, Umm Suqeim (04 344 4874).
Musabbahha at Operation Falafel
There are few better options for a bit of street grub than this start-up gone big. A traditional Syrian breakfast dish, musabbahha is made from chickpeas and tahini, then topped with olive oil and garnished with mix of spices. It's similar to hummus in many ways. It comes with some freshly baked pitas, too, and we can't help but smile while devouring it.
Dhs21. Various locations including Kite Beach, Umm Suqeim (04 321 2378).
Shawarma at Eat & Drink
One of the best shawarmas you'll find in town, simply put. It's mega, and the constant stream of customers you'll find in this Al Wasl store proves it. Roasted chicken and fresh veggies stuffed inside traditional bread with a slick of garlic. Perfect, and don't be surprised if you bump into us inhaling one at any given moment.
Dhs23. Open daily 9am-2am. Al Wasl Road, Jumeirah (04 394 3878).
Tofu bao at Take A Bao
Firstly, we're a sucker for a good pun, so we love Take A Bao at Kite Beach. Secondly, we're big fans of tofu, the amazingly versatile bean curd. Five-spice fried tofu, served alongside avocado, pickles, red onion and kimchi mayonnaise. This little grabbable bun is well worth spending a day on the beach with.
Dhs25 each, Dhs45 for two. Open Mon-Wed noon-10pm; Thu-Sun noon-midnight. Kite Beach, Umm Suqeim (050 747 4211).
Around town
Cheese sambousek at Al Arrab
If you're yet to come across sambousek, they're freshly baked little parcels stuffed with loveliness. The cheese sambousek at Al Arrab in Motor City is just heart-warming, and you need these packets of awesome in your life. Get five pieces for just Dhs18.
Dhs18. Open daily 10.30am-1.30am. Green Community Centre, Motor City (04 447 8930).
Luqaimat at Smat
For something a bit sweeter, try this classic Emirati dessert from Smat in Mirdif, where for Dhs25 you can get your hands on a luqaimat. They're like beautiful little doughnut balls, and this version of the dish comes in three flavours: original style, with cheese, or with Nutella. We'll see you there, with chocolate smooshed around our moosh.
Dhs25. Open daily 9am-midnight. Mirdif (04 224 2474).
Pakistani bun kebab at Desi Adda
Known as the Anday Wala Burger, this Pakistani street dish is a beautifully soft bun filled with a chicken or beef patty, then topped with a fried egg, onions, ketchup and green mint chutney. You can expect some pretty lively flavours from this funky little shop in Al Qusais.
From Dhs12. Open Sat-Wed noon-11pm; Thu-Fri noon-midnight. Damascus Street, Al Qusais (04 261 2399).
The chicken drifter at Burger Pit
Meanwhile, over at Meraas site Last Exit Mad X on the E11 (Abu Dhabi-bound), you'll find a post-apocalyptic-themed food truck park with a van serving up a mean chicken burger. Quite simply, the chicken drifter at Burger Pit is a monster piece of crispy fried buttermilk chicken, drizzled in garlic aioli. Delicious, and filling, and satisfying. Perfect road trip fodder.
Dhs30. Open daily 24 hours. Last Exit Mad X E11, Sheikh Zayed Road (800 637227).

4 Self-Care Habits To Help You Keep Calm and Carry On
Your nervous system gets better at the things it does regularly. If you're always "on the go," or regularly experiencing states of stress, your body will get good at activating the stress response. Over time, you'll find you get stressed more and more easily. To counter this, you need to build new habits into your routine to teach your nervous system how to relax. Here are four ways to get started.
Schedule Regular Downtime
Most people's idea of downtime just doesn't cut it. Simply sitting and watching TV for a few hours won't do the trick, nor does mindless social media usage, which has been linked to higher stress levels. Downtime needs to be actively relaxing -- not just the absence of stressful activities. Think massages, meditation classes, or spending time in nature. This type active downtime activates your parasympathetic nervous system -- your muscles relax, your body stops releasing stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, and your heart rate slows down. Schedule some downtime at least weekly -- or more often if you need it.
Challenge Negative Thoughts
There's a two-way street between thoughts and emotions. If you start thinking negative thoughts like "I'm worthless," "I'll never amount to anything," "I'm a terrible parent," then, sure enough, you'll start to feel worthless, useless, and incompetent. However, thoughts like this are knee-jerk reactions and rarely accurate. So challenge them. For example, you could ask yourself:
What's the evidence for this?
Practice Sleep Hygiene
Sleep is crucial to physical and mental health, and if you don't sleep well, you're more likely to experience mental health problems including stress and anxiety. To improve your sleep, first set consistent times to go to bed and get up -- and stick to these times rigidly. An hour before bed, start to wind down -- lower the lighting level, turn off all screens (no TV, phones, tablets or computers) and do something relaxing like reading, meditation, or taking a bath. Just before you go to bed, spend five minutes writing everything that you need to do over the next couple of days, and be as specific as you can.
A study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology found that this simple exercise can help you fall asleep quicker because you're getting your worries out of your mind and onto the page.
Declutter Your Home Regularly
A study at UCLA asked participants to make a video tour of their home, and talk about each room a little bit. The researchers also took saliva samples, to test for levels of the stress hormone, cortisol. The more that participants talked about their clutter in their video tour, the higher their cortisol levels tended to be. How would you describe your own home? If your home is cluttered, you might see this as a big task, but don't worry -- you can fix this gradually.
Every night, do a 15-minute round-up of all items not in their proper places, and one day a week, pick a room and start going through your possessions. Split them into three piles -- keep, donate, and throw away. After a month or two of this, you'll be describing your home in more serene terms!
The Whole is Greater than the Sum of the Parts The great thing about these four practices is that they build on each other. A decluttered bedroom is easier to sleep in. Regular downtime lowers stress, making your negative thoughts easier to challenge. If you practice challenging negative thoughts, you'll be able to overcome your own objections to chores like decluttering. Add in one new practice each week and very soon you'll create an upward spiral, producing positive results in your life.

It's Wednesday which means it's time for you to head to your LCS (or however you obtain your comics) and pick up something new! This week is a short week for me (I'm currently ignoring the upcoming DC and Marvel events) so let's jump in.
Nonplayer #1
To be fair, this isn't a new release, this is actually the third reprinting of Nonplayer. The comic follows Dana Steven in a futuristic setting as she balances her lame life (minimum wage job, living with parents) with the online fantasy world of Jarvath. The art and writing of Nate Simpson is stunning – and the second issue comes out next week!
Gotham Academy Endgame #1
This Gotham Academy series is one of the few titles I've ever read from DC. Becky Cloonan and Brendan Fletcher team-up to give you more fun with Olive, Maps, and spooky Joker camp-fire stories.
Spider-Gwen #3
Spider-Gwen is one of the fastest selling Marvel heroines, and there's a reason for that: she rocks. In this issue Spider-Gwen has run afoul of Police Officer Frank Castle a.k.a. the Punisher. If you enjoy watching women beat up muscular men, this may be the issue for you to jump into!
Lady Killer #4
If you haven't been reading this series about 1960's housewives doubling as contract killers….well, someone might have to put a contract out on you. Jamie Rich and Joelle Jones are a great team, and I love seeing everything they come up with.
Lumberjanes TP Vol. 1
The Lumberjanes are everything I wish I could have been as a thirteen-year-old girl. That alone should tell you how awesome the comic was, because my thirteen-year-old self had quite an imagination.
A Wrinkle in Time TP
It's fun seeing classic literature (yes, I consider A Wrinkle In Time to be classic literature) adapted to graphic novel form. With Hope Larson's beautiful illustrations, you can relive the adventures of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'keefe all over again.

If it brings you joy, go there. Do that. I am trying to etch this into my brain. To create a positive mantra. One that reflects the simplicity of what I desire in my life. Carving a new neural pathway over all the others that have become as tangled hair. Criss-crossed layers of miscommunication.
Sometimes it feels like digging a trench with a needle. But when I realize again the intent, the needle becomes a back hoe and joy floods in, filling the void. Water to parched land, meaning to purpose.
If it brings you joy, go there. Run. In this era of totalitarian deeds what is needed is quick action. Mind over matter. To surround oneself with what brings joy and love, meaningful human experiences. Learning and growth. This then brings fortitude, brings a willingness to counter what our todays toss out.
We have been given a heavy weight, one that will break us if we drop it and walk away, turn our attentions from what stares us down in the name of god and country. If we turn away, what brings us joy is the superficial, the shiny and temporal. Bells and whistles. Weightless wind.
If it brings you joy, go there. Hold it. With all else said, in the end we all die. We all have this moment, now. Human experiences. Hold it. Hold them. Surround yourself with love. Hold the hand that holds your mind, holds your body. Your emotion. Hold this and you hold back force as dam to water. Light to darkness. Hold this and we hold what's possible. What's needed. Desired.
I had a dream the other day where my mother visited. It was so real she may have. She told me as she stroked my hair, I need to pick one or the other. All in or all out. This is life. This is what our future is asking. Demanding. All in is where I have chosen to be. To push the obstacles and pull the opposition. To pull back the rising tyranny till it stumbles, falls backward to where it belongs. The past.
If it brings me joy, I'll keep it. Tuck it away, somewhere safe.

Using the HMC5883L, the heading can be calculated without an acceleration sensor. However, the sensor must be guaranteed to be horizontal. If the compass is not horizontal, an acceleration sensor is needed to correct the error due to the tilt. The HMC5883L Set/Reset loop functions to perform an automatic degaussing before each data measurement to eliminate the offset present in the device itself, allowing the sensor to be tested in a "pure" magnetic field. It reduces the effects of "noise" interference and does not affect high frequency signal identification, set in Configuration Register A. The function of the sensor self-test can be activated by setting the register of the HMC5883L to determine whether the sensor is good or bad.

Machine learning and artificial intelligence have enabled us to accomplish great things with the computers we have access to today. However, it is equally true that these same innovations have also produced a great number of threats. One threat that is particularly dangerous in today's day and age is the presence, and growing prevalence, of "deepfakes" in the media.
MultiProcess Computer LLC blog
The past few years certainly haven't been very good for Facebook. After going public in 2012, Facebook acquired several organizations and applications to make waves in the market. The company is now responsible for a considerable amount of data, which has led to several data breaches, exacerbating the media and creating skepticism toward the social media giant.
Regardless of whether or not you handle this facet of your business for yourself, the knowledge of how to code is becoming increasingly useful - and there are more and more resources available to help you gain this knowledge. Below, we review some that you may consider leveraging to improve some of your skills.
The facts are that data is lost, data is stolen, and you have no idea where it has gone. You may come to find out where subsequently, but many times, personal information isn't much like a cat: once it goes away, you'll likely never see it again. Today, we will look at the seedy underbelly of the Internet in search of our lost and stolen personally identifiable information.
Now that the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)--the most comprehensive individual data protection law in history--has gone into effect, it is important to know where your business stands in regard to your potential liability. One technology that has a rather lot of ambiguity surrounding it is blockchain, which is essentially an encrypted and distributed digital ledger. How is the development of blockchain, which is built on the idea of security through transparency, going to fare under the guidelines of the new GDPR regulations?
There is no doubt artificial Intelligence is a growth field. Developers in countless industries are trying to leverage a machine learning program into better profits, but for practical use A.I. is seemingly limited. One place where A.I. has been impressive is in the cinema. A.I. may be just starting to play a big part in business, but it's been a staple in Hollywood for decades. Today, we will look at A.I.'s portrayal on the silver screen and how the A.I. of today stacks up.
Athletics are a time-honored tradition, both for athletes and spectators. As time has passed, these bouts of physical skill and prowess have gradually adopted some technological aspects to improve the experience of the game for all. Now, smart technology has a key position on almost any playing field. Let's review some of the ways that sports have improved through the adoption of technology.
Ransomware can target all kinds of entities, but one of the most devastating attacks in recent memory was launched against Atlanta, Georgia earlier this year. Atlanta suffered from an incredibly sustained and powerful ransomware attack that disabled much of the municipal government.
IT is important for more than just businesses. Governments and other similar organizations that handle top-secret information or important operations should also dedicate considerable resources to guaranteeing security and efficiency to the best of their ability. In the wake of so many dangerous entities, governments are having trouble keeping up with the latest trends, often at their own expense. What can your business learn from this development?
Cortana is a very useful assistant to have around the office, but did you know how useful Cortana can be in other aspects of your life? With football season underway, we felt it was appropriate to share how Cortana can help you follow your favorite teams. Of course, this will work for any sport, and it is a very easy process.
Smart technologies are becoming more and more prevalent in everyday life. As such, it may not be a bad idea to prepare today's children for their technology-filled tomorrow. However, as Mattel discovered with their kid-targeted smarthome hub, Aristotle, it is important to make sure that these devices are secure enough to ensure the safety of their youthful users.

Balsamic White Chocolate Stuffed Strawberries are the perfect guilt-free pleasure to serve at parties, brunch or anytime. This recipe is super easy, and can be made in about 20 minutes with only a handful of ingredients!
It's #Choctoberfest week, with all of the tasty recipes containing the star of the show…Chocolate! Check back daily for more delicious savory and sweet chocolate recipes.
Chocolate and cheesecake are two major food obsessions for me! I love everything about them! Trying to forgo some of the calories of real cheesecake to avoid having to widen my doorways, I stuffed chocolate and cheesecake filling into strawberries instead. That is food mutil-tasking! Let me tell you, it was no sacrifice! Cream cheese and chocolate made into a fluffy cream for stuffed strawberries is almost too much goodness…almost.
This recipe was inspired by our sponsor Forte Chocolates' Balsamic Vinegar in White Chocolate. It is a masterpiece created by Master Chocolatier Karen Neugebauer, who created a line of Gusto bars designed for both savory uses and making traditional desserts. The Balsamic Vinegar in White Chocolate bar uses twelve year, barrel aged balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy. The intensity of the balsamic flavor is perfectly balanced, with a tangy, rich flavor to melt over a steak and just delicate enough to subtly enhance a dessert. A chocolate bar this unique and delicious fits Forte Chocloates motto of "Celebrate Life Through Chocolate" perfectly!
Happy Choctoberfest!
Our sponsor, Forte Chocolates, would like to extend the Chocolate excitement with a BUY 3 Get 1 FREE deal for you! Enter the Discount Code CHOCTOBERFEST2018 at the checkout to receive a FREE bonus bar of chocolate! Link to Forte Chocolates to see all of their amazing flavor combinations
- For the best flavor, start with ripe organic strawberries.
- Cold cream cheese may not incorporate the other ingredients and leave lumps, so allow the cream cheese to soften before mixing.
- The heavy cream needs to be well chilled before beating into the cream cheese, and the cream added to the melted chocolate tempers the heat of the chocolate.
- Use a paring knife or small melon scoop to core chilled strawberries – be careful to leave the rim intact
- An electric hand mixer works best for this recipe. For the stand mixer use the balloon whisk attachment.
- Balsamic Reduction Syrup is available at most supermarkets or can be homemade (see recipe below)

The role of the PHNs
This week I had the pleasure of spending 2 days with the Digital Health Primary Health Network (PHN) teams from all 31 PHNs across Australia.
One of many things that were shared were learnings from PHNs involved with Australia's recent My Health Record trial sites (major report is being written right now) and in particular lessons relating to building the involvement of all sectors – pharmacy, aged care, specialists, allied health providers, hospitals and aboriginal medical services.
Over these two days it was wonderful to be joined by representatives of each of these sectors (+ Department of Health & Department of Human Services) to collaborate on how we can work together to provide support for health professionals.
With my role as contract trainer for the Australian Digital Health Agency it is my job to support PHNs and their practices. I have delivered more than 60 'My Health Record' presentations with PHNs for their practices this year across Australia. I have had the opportunity to witness how caring, committed and skilled the PHN staff are. The events we have run have brought me in front of more than 1600 healthcare providers. This has also provided opportunities for important feedback – continual learnings that I share with the Digital Health Agency.
At Train IT Medical it is our role to provide software training and support to all those who work in health so we are now thrilled to be working with the Allied Health Professionals Association to help with software education and increasing use of digital health for their members.
The Digital Health Language
These past two days at the PHN/Australian Digital Health Event were, for me, a bit like being on my alien planet and all of sudden I was joined by 100 other friendly aliens who speak my exact language. We could talk of HPI-Os, Nash certificates, ETP, SMD etc like it was normal language. We understand the challenges practices have faced to date and the challenges ahead. You cannot work directly with practices and not begin to understand the demands on health professionals. We share a wish list for improvements and there is much excitement for what we can all achieve in this digital era with a collaborative approach.
PHNs are there to support practices
I know many practices rely on their PHN 'Practice Support Officer' or 'Liaison Officer'. Many others may not know what a PHN is (learn more here) or your location may mean you may not have had much direct contact to date. I would encourage all healthcare practices to connect with the PHN in your area. Join the networking groups, attend education events, have your say. Now is the time.
PHN staff are there to help; they can interpret the digital health language for you, they understand your world and will keep you up-to-date of important changes in an ever-changing health landscape.
To my alien friends in PHN land – I thank you for the wonderful work you are doing. It is an absolute pleasure to know you and work with you. It is so encouraging to see such collaboration between PHNs across Australia – learning and working together with shared goals of helping those who look after the health of Australians. You are doing a wonderful job in difficult times. I applaud you and support you.
With best wishes, Katrina Otto
2 Responses to The role of the PHNs
I have been working in the opt out trial site in Mackay. I am relatively new to our NQ PHN from February. During this time I have learnt so much with engaging providers and with your knowledge and training particularly from your website. For me has been a very passionate journey to implement the MHR in our footprint. As part of the provider engagements your website has well received and appreciated as a great resource. Thank you for your continued support.
Might see you again in the near future in our region.

I drove to LA on Friday. Saturday was the Perform Better 1-day Seminar. There were speakers giving lectures and hands on presentations. The first presenter was Todd Durkin who spoke about "Going for Greatness". To me, this subject is just as important as the nuts and bolts of strength and conditioning. IT was all about taking your game to the next level. Todd was a great motivator and speaker. I got alot of valuable information from his presentation. A great quote that will stay with me from Todd's presentation is "Attitude determines Altitude." You can go as high as you want if you have the right positive mental attitude.
The next presenter was Alwyn Cosgrove, who always gets the audience laughing and thinking. He puts things into simple sense. If we listen to his ideas and then immediately implement them, you will make more money, run a more efficient business, and will be able to grow your business into whatever you want.
Next was Gray Cook. This guy is so intellectual. He knows the body from the inside out. I always learn so much information on how the body is meant to function from Gray. His main topics that were covered were improving mobility before stability. We need to create mobility first before we start working on stability. The joint needs movement capabilities before we can start stabilizing. Once the individual is able to move properly, then we can stabilize and once that same person can now stabilize, then it is time for strength development. If we mix up the order we will be creating more of a dysfunctional body.
Last on the docket was Mike Boyle. Mike stepped out of the box for him this seminar and talked about training the obese client and client with low back pain. IT was very interesting to hear some of the ideas from Mike. With obese clients, just get them moving. He talked about the things he does not do with obese clients and that is: foam roll, stretch, and core work. Why put a 300+ man on a foam roll. It will be very hard for him to do it the correct way. Strethcing and core work on the ground is very awkard for an obese individual. These individuals need to dramatically change their diet and get moving. You do not need to spend 20 minutes on soft tissue and flexibility. Drop 80 pounds first and then we can start improving muscle quality.
The hands on sessions were good. Todd's was very energetic and was actually a tough workout. We did some metabolic work for the entire 25 minutes. We did not stop. It was challenging.
I came away with some great knowledge from this seminar. I will be able to come back to my facility and implement ideas ASAP. California Fitness Academy will be a better place.

A million salmon were released into the Sacramento River. So why are anglers unhappy?
Standing next to a Department of Fish and Wildlife tanker on Wednesday morning, Scott Hambelton pulled a long lever. Tens of thousands of 4-inch silver fish gushed from a connected pipe and into the Sacramento River.
"That's hundreds of hours (of work) behind that pull," said Hambelton, a retired fishing guide from Roseville who was on hand to commemorate the release.
The tanker was the first of eight truckloads of juvenile Chinook salmon that California fisheries officials were bringing to the Elkhorn Boat Launch north of Sacramento throughout the day. In total, 1 million Chinook raised by biologists at a hatchery near the base of Oroville Dam were to be released into the river.
The fish now have to make the long journey to the Pacific Ocean. A small percentage of them will survive to adulthood and return to the river in two or three years to spawn.
For the anglers such as Hambelton who will try catch the Chinook when they return, Wednesday's salmon release was viewed with mixed emotions.
The NOR-CAL Guides and Sportsmen's Association and other fishing groups had spent more than a year pressuring state dam and fish-hatchery managers to raise extra fish to make up for the ones the fishing groups say were lost after the Oroville Dam spillway collapsed in February 2017.
The failure of the spillway was followed by a see-sawing of levels in the Feather River as dam managers turned flows from the spillway off and on to assess the damage, make repairs and release water from the rapidly filling Oroville Lake.
The fluctuations in the river damaged huge stretches of spawning habitat below the dam, covering them in silt and spillway debris. At one point, thousands of fish were unable to follow receding water back into the main channel; they became stranded in shallow pools along the flood plain. Spillway debris also killed tens of thousands of juvenile salmon at the Feather River hatchery below the dam.
The anglers say the river and its salmon runs haven't recovered; neither has salmon fishing, which brings money into towns and cities along the Feather.
After months of pressure, the anglers got what they wanted, at least in part.
The Department of Water Resources, the state agency that manages Oroville, agreed to pay Fish and Wildlife around $350,000 to raise an additional 2 million salmon at the Feather River Hatchery below the dam.
The first batch of 1 million fish was released into the Feather earlier this spring, under ideal conditions.
Water Resources had sent what is known as a "pulse flow" into the Feather River from the Oroville dam, ensuring currents were high and the river was cloudy, exactly the sort of cover that biologists say gives the fish the best chance of making the long journey to the Pacific. Murky, fast-moving water allows small Chinook to escape the hungry jaws of predatory fish such as striped bass.
Because salmon have the uncanny ability to return to exactly where they hatched, the first release into the Feather, close to the hatchery, also ensures more fish will be available to catch in Feather River towns, such as Yuba City and Oroville, when the fish return as adults.
But Wednesday's release went into the Sacramento River, just downstream from the confluence with the Feather. Anglers say they're worried the returning fish will get lost in the Sacramento River or its other tributaries and won't be able to find their spawning grounds in the Feather.
It's a well-founded concern. Lost fish recently have become an issue. The reason: Hatchery managers moved and released juvenile fish via tanker truck several times during the worst of California's five-year drought because river conditions were so poor. These released fish often struggle to locate the right places to deposit their eggs when they return from the Pacific Ocean.
For the 1 million fish released Wednesday, anglers had asked the state to discharge the salmon weeks earlier when the Feather was flowing faster. They also had sought another pulse flow.
State officials declined, partly because they said the fish weren't ready to be released, and partly to protect the water supply in Oroville Lake, which provides water to much of California.
"Although a pulse for a hatchery release in early March was a success, it was not possible this week because Lake Oroville is currently being operated to conserve water in light of the low snowpack with low water content," DWR spokeswoman Erin Mellon said in an email. "As a result, (fisheries officials) decided the best adaptive approach for this week would be to move the release downstream."
Ron Kelly, an angler from Yuba City, said it was yet another example of how, when it comes to managing Oroville Dam, the state has one priority: protecting the water supply for farms, towns and cities as far south as San Diego. Locals, he said, are given the short shrift.
"It's all about the water mongers down south and taking care of them," Kelly said.
Similar allegations were raised by the forensic team investigating the spillway failure at Oroville Dam. Earlier this year, the team said the DWR was so worried about protecting the water stored behind the dam that officials made crucial missteps that made the crisis worse.
The spillway failure eventually triggered the two-day evacuation of 188,000 people. State officials refute that section of the forensic team's report, saying that safety of downstream residents was their only priority.
Despite Wednesday's salmon release being less than ideal, the fishing groups said they will take what they can get. Due to the drought and other woes, Central Valley anglers are facing one of the worst salmon seasons in years when fishing opens this summer.
"We're just happy to get any fish we can back into the water," said Hambelton, the retired guide.

- The Way Jesus did. Through the context of love.
Matthew 22:37-40 37 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
- Not through the lens of moralism.
- God is not withholding from us, but has our best interest at heart.
- As truth that keeps us from going back into bondage.
Exodus 20:1-17
And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 "You shall have no other gods before Me. 4 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. 7 "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. 8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. 12 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
13 "You shall not murder.
14 "You shall not commit adultery.
15 "You shall not steal.
16 "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."
3 Truths God Reveals:
1. God reveals Himself as our source of freedom.
Exodus 20:2
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
2. God reveals Himself as unique and separate from all other gods.
Exodus 20:3
I am the Lord your God… You shall have no other gods before Me.
3. God reveals His desire for our loyalty to Him alone.
Exodus 20:3
You shall have no other gods before Me.

Theatre review: Mathieu Gosselin warns of the world's environmental collapse, while Rahul Varma drags a forgotten genocide into the light.
Review: State of Denial and Province reveal horrors past and those yet to come
Like a Jacobean revenge tragedy of the future, Mathieu Gosselin's end-of-the-world play Province climaxes with the stage littered in corpses. If that sounds like a spoiler, you're obviously more optimistic about the end of the world than Gosselin is.
Nature itself is the revenger in Province (first seen at La Licorne in 2012), and it's coming for environment-murdering humanity in the shape of ravenous, scientifically-modified beasts and the suffocating foliage of a Quebec forest, all played out in Lyne Paquette's otherworldly design of grassy wasteland and "vomit-inducing" floral wallpaper.
There's something Jacobean also in Gosselin's bold use of poetic language, translated here by Nadine Desrochers, and in its wild lurches from the deadly serious to the grotesquely comic.
Most of the laughs come from Éloi Archambaudoin and Sabrina Reeves as beautiful, super-vapid young things Brandon and Faeryday: so self-absorbed are they that they canoodle without noticing they're squashing their diminutive, angsty visitor, Kimmie (Jennifer Roberts), between them.
But they're merely the extreme end of apathy in the face of imminent destruction. Brothers Zachary (Davide Chiazzese) and Royal (Mike Hughes) fiddle with their games console and camcorder as the world burns. Their lubriciously voluptuous neighbour (Natalie Tannous) is rebuffed by the geeky boys so she lays down with the mutant animals instead. Mommy (France Rolland) has gone off to frolic in a possibly hallucinatory Eden with a sexy pantheistic presence (represented by Tristan D Lalla's velvety voice). Only forest warrior Hide (Stefanie Buxton) and pyromaniac prophet Buddy (Zach Fraser) seem to really grasp the danger closing in on them, and by then it's far too late.
That combination of apathy and helplessness is also, as it happens, problematic for the drama. There's no doubting Gosselin's often startling imagination, but a lack of dramatic urgency and genuine connection between characters renders the play into a series of increasingly repetitive set pieces. Gloominess is to be expected in dystopian visions but director Stacey Christodoulou really piles on the portentousness in this co-production between Talisman and The Other Theatre, which is showing in Centaur's Brave New Looks slot.
While Province peers into our dim future, Rahul Varma's State of Denial shines a light back onto one of modern history's darkest moments, namely Turkey's slaughter of well over a million Armenians in 1915. Varma's impassioned play was given a workshop performance in 2012, and his company, Teesri Duniya Theatre, is reviving it to commemorate the centenary of the genocide (as Turkey still refuses to call it).
Varma's forte is unapologetically polemical drama, and State of Denial is also unapologetically old-fashioned in its narrative device of a documentary filmmaker (Warona Setshwaelo) uncovering family secrets as she quizzes a kindly Turkish woman (Victoria Barkoff) who lived through the events, and a young Turkish Canadian (Michaella Di Cesare) who seems to be linked to that distant past.
Varma enlivens the narrative with lots of twists and turns – for instance, the filmmaker's Rwandan heritage isn't quite what it seems. The play's deep humanity, sincerity and factual fastidiousness almost make it critic-proof. Almost.
As in many such urgent issues plays, its characters come across largely as ciphers, their dialogue a mixture of exposition and op-ed earnestness. Most damagingly, the staggering horror of the genocide is at one point reduced to the image of a stage villain with an evil laugh. (Jimmy Blais, who's left to struggle with this thankless role, fares much better as a pusillanimous but well-meaning Canadian diplomat.) Elsewhere, director Liz Valdez wisely uses more abstract means to evoke the slaughter by symbolically concealing it under a flowing veil, an acknowledgment, perhaps, of the difficulty of dramatizing the unimaginable.
Province is at Centaur Theatre, 453 St-François-Xavier St., to Oct. 17. Tickets: $28; students and seniors, $25. Call 514-288-3161 or visit centaurtheatre.com
State of Denial is at the Segal Centre Studio, 5170 Côte Ste-Catherine Rd., to Oct. 25 Tickets: $18 to $26. Call 514-739-7944 or visit segalcentre.org

The Story
After becoming self-employed (losing my job) at the end of 2015, I began woodworking as a means to pay bills while searching for another job. I made a cutting board for my wife mid 2015 and a farm table desk for my old job. When I posted them online, folks began asking for custom orders.
After college, I worked in the financial world with mutual funds, sold advertising to used-car dealerships, did software support in the advertising industry, and outside sales in the world of public safety. While I enjoyed working hard, I never really felt like the jobs were my careers.
January was the start of my dream beginning to come true. I love creating things with my hands and the medium of wood intrigues me for many reasons.
On a whim (prompting from my wife), I decided to apply for the Mt Holly Farmers Market. We focused on cutting boards since they were portable. I started the Market with my 8th cutting board. We had huge support and success. After the ten week market finished, we were on cutting board #72.
We now primarily use North Carolina hardwoods to make custom furniture, cutting boards, and just about anything you can dream up in the wood world.
I no longer go to work everyday, I go to the shop. I've never put more hours into anything in my life but I consider it a huge blessing to create awesome stuff with good wood.
Style & Quality
I believe in the beauty of wood. My primary focus in creating wood creations is letting the wood define the overall style of a project. My job is giving a second life to the amazing resource yielded from a once living tree that served us all.
I work hard to utilize wood harvested in North Carolina and support local businesses whenever possible.
My standard for quality is very high. It may be borderline obsessive but I believe it is my job to allow the wood to show its beauty without the distraction of poor workmanship.
100% Handmade
I make every wood creation I sell. There are times I work with local artisans to contribute their skills (i.e. blacksmiths or metal fabricators) in different facets of a project.

How Osteopathy can help you
In my Osteopathic practice l treat people from all walks of life, of all ages, and those who suffer with a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions. From new born babies to the elderly, from the sedentary office worker to the active builder and from the less active person to the elite athlete.
I have experience in helping with a wide range of conditions including:
• back and neck pain • headaches and sinus problems • trapped nerves
• arthritic pain • shoulder and arm pain • leg pain
• sports injuries and much more
Desk based workers:
Many desk based workers benefit from Osteopathic treatment both for acute and chronic injuries. Many people also benefit from occasional maintenance treatment to prevent against the dangers of sedentary work. I aim to improve and maintain mobility and body health, helping patients stay out of pain.
Sporty people:
I treat athletes of all levels from the elite athlete to the novice. I aim to not only guide the patient back to fitness after injury, but also help them achieve their potential, and prevent future injury. I understand the passion and desire to make sporting aspirations a reality.
Cranial Osteopathy:
I have experience treating babies and young children, using Cranial Osteopathy. This is a very rewarding part of my Osteopathic work. Helping the very young overcome some of their early challenges is a wonderful gift and great privilege.
The Older patient:
As we get older the body can loose flexibility and suffers varying degrees of wear and tear (arthritic changes). Osteopathy can give great relief to people with general aches and pains, as well as alleviating the symptoms of arthritic conditions. By gently mobilising affected areas, Osteopathy can improve the health and comfort of painful joints and muscles.

Our Mission
Ours is indeed a mission of love that is attentive to each and every encounter with the other, especially those who are sick, dying or suffering and in need. We do this through constant prayer and our presence in ministry. We are called on a "mission of love", as Venerable Mary Potter wrote, to nurture a heart which sees where love is needed and acts accordingly. We recognize that the God who loves us touches us through the lives of others. And calls us, as Pope Francis reminds us, to a revolution of tenderness.
We are called on a "mission of love"
It is true our world is fractured by violence, isolation and apathy, just as it was on Calvary. But it also can be a place of healing and wholeness, community, compassion and empathy, as was embodied in Mary as she stood, the gaze of her heart turned toward her Son, those who hung upon the nearby crosses and those who accompanied him. We know well: we are to be for our world as Mary was on Calvary - one committed to outpoured love in every moment.
For the sake of our broken world and the God who has called us:

Young Eagles flew into the air, rising with the wind currents, some flying for the first time yesterday.
Youngsters from Upton to Athol to Ayer flew with eight seasoned pilots from the Fitchburg Pilots Association, taking to the sky in Cessnas, Pipers, a red Champion, a Bell 47 helicopter just like the one in M*A*S*H, and a robin's egg blue Grumman during the Young Eagles program held at Fitchburg Municipal Airport.
It was Jeffrey Taylor's first airplane ride, but with his great-grandfather Bill Mead's genes, the 11-year-old from Athol took to the air like a seasoned flier. He "had his own plane and used to fly out of this airport, I just want to fly and have fun," he said, just before stepping up into Ed Murphy's Cessna Skyhawk.
Mr. Murphy said that the weather was good, if a tad windy, as he went over the checklist, with Jeffrey going over the brakes, doors, windows, lights, controls and more.
"Is flying hard? I never thought I would be able to see this," said Jeffrey in the co-pilot's seat.
"Flying is the easy part, the hard part is taking off, the even harder part is landing, but flying is the best part. We'll take you for a good ride," said Mr. Murphy, who coordinated the day's event.
And a good ride is what Jeffrey got — over apple orchards and autumn foliage, soaring over Mount Monadnock and the clouds, seeing his family's and friends' homes, hands on the wheel for a good portion of the flight, catching a tailwind and flying at more than 170 miles per hour on the way back to Fitchburg Airport.
Fitchburg's Vinnie Vignola and his dad hitched a ride and saw their family waving to them from their backyard.
"I wanted to fly because I want to learn how. We were 2,900 feet above sea level and I saw a little island in the middle of this lake. And the bus company parking lot," he said.
Bailey Neal of Ayer got to ride on a helicopter on his 13th birthday yesterday. "My stomach felt like butterflies; it was like an elevator going up; I want to go up again; and I get to tell Thomas, Colin and Robin I rode a helicopter and got into the paper when they come over for my sleepover!"
At the end of the day, there were 55 more Young Eagles, perhaps a future pilot or two among them. They all received certificates and could register in what is the world's largest logbook, apply for ground courses and scholarships.
"You can learn anytime, have to be 16 to solo and 17 years old to have a license; we welcome any and all to give it a try," said Charlie Valera, president of the Fitchburg Pilots' Association.
The pilots flew more than 75 people yesterday during the 6-hour event, donating their time, aircraft and fuel costs so that youngsters could experience the thrills of flying.
The smile on Leominster's Rheanna McGrath, 10, was testament of that thrill.
"I love the bumps! I hate roller coaster rides, but this was cool. I want to be a pilot when I get older and fly people like me in planes," said Rheanna. Undaunted by the long line for rides and hoping for a second go-around, she said this time she wanted to go alone, because, well, her mother got a little "bump-sick" the first time around.

Arctic Sea Ice - The Melting Season 2019
Singularity posted a topic in Climate Change - The ScienceWith the Arctic sea ice extent by some measures reaching close to or event setting record lows today and area doing the same, it feels like it's about time the melt season thread got underway for 2019. There's been a phenomenal crash in the past week with the extent moving from 9th to 1st lowest position. In the GEFS mean 850 hPa and 500 hPA GPH anomaly plots for the next 5 days averaged, we can still see a large and strong footprint from the events that brought this crash about: There's essentially a 'warm Arctic, cold continents' (WACC) event going on. The impact on ice from this has been mostly via the unusual wind patterns moving unusually thin, fragile ice around, as opposed to melting it directly. It's still too cold near and at the surface for the most part even with such large anomalies aloft. The pattern shows strong persistence during the next 10 days or so. Ice declines may continue at above normal rates during this time, which could take 2019 well below any previously observed years, depending on the surface wind patterns and how much more ice is still in a position from which it may be driven into a melting environment. The pattern also served to decelerate the mid-latitude westerlies faster than usual. Once the displaced from Arctic cold air disperses or warms out, it's possible that this will facilitate an unusually rapid warm-up in regions without snow cover. Meanwhile, late snow gains across the likes of Scandinavia and E. Canada may manage to restrain the rate of advance of heat onto the Arctic, depending on how much the weather patterns de-amplify as the WAAC event subsides. I'm concerned that they may not do so very much given the El Nino event currently underway. That aside, this big loss of sea ice cover opens the door to the open water feedbacks that, before this event came into view, I had been wondering if would be negated for this melting season. Will anomalous atmospheric moisture content yet again (as was particularly evident each season 2016-2018) bring about more cloud and LP formation than usual to diminish the solar-driven melt April through July? Science really is built on questions! p.s. If for whatever reason this new topic is to be deleted, may I please request that this leading post is placed into the topic being used instead, TIA.
